Learning English at the University

Hi! This is the last blog of this semester and I have to talk about my experience learning english at the UCH English program. Starting for the using of the blogs I think is an original and useful method to practice writing. Personally I can say that I leave high school with a kind of "level" in English. But, when I enter to the University I have to confront a new world of new methods and evaluations including this blogging thing. For me, blogging is a great space to learn to express yourself by your own way because we write from our own experiences, tastes, wishes for the future, etc. Is different than learnt writing following a defined structure as the works I have to do for my other classes, where we learnt and have to use a determinate type of writing, the academical. About the classes, in the beginning, on my first English class I felt a little uncomfortable with the fact that in the classes we were less students than I was accustomed. But it quickly transformed in a pos...

Music

Hi, today I’m going to talk about my musical tastes. Aerosmith is one of my favourite group music and the oldest I can remember, I heard them along all my childhood because my mom, who is a biggest fan too. Aerosmith is an american rock band directed by Steven Tyler, the vocalist. They origins starts in Boston around the 70’s and their style mixes hard rock, blues and rock and roll incorporating some pop-rock elements. My favourites songs of them are “Dream on”, “Walk this way”, “Crazy”, “I don't want miss a thing”, among others.  I also like the work of other popular rock bands like Guns n Roses, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, etc. But this is only one side of my musical tastes, in generally my taste is very diverse and I used to hear all kind of music. I also enjoy the cumbia, pop, electronica, rap, trap and reggaeton, I think it all depends the occasion.  My favourite pop artists is Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I love this two powerful women's, her voices and da...

Postgraduate studies

Hello everyone! today my post is going to be about the future of my studies, the postgraduate studies. In my case I didn't spent so much time thinking about my future, in fact I only have a vague idea of what I want to do after graduate. It’s one of my wishes to travel and live in other country for a while so I think that in the case of do a postgraduate degree in the future I would take the opportunity to do it abroad, but I don't close my mind to other options.  The subjects I would like to study will depend on my interest in the future, I think that I’m just finding my real tastes and interests in the career and they will probably not be the same in that moment. Anyway I think is a good idea after graduate, to learn about a specific culture or a latin american movement like the zapatista revolution in Mexico or the sandinista revolution in Nicaragua and the rise of the liberation theology, but this are just some of the many options. I said on my last post I also woul...

My future job

Hi! This time I will talk about my future job. In my first post I mentioned I'm studying anthropology, social anthropology specifically. This is my third year on the career and in all this time I learned that the laboral field is very diverse, your job will depend on your tastes and interests. I don't visualize me yet on a determined job but I do know some areas I'm interested in. The first is the immigration and racism matter, I like the idea of work in the field of intercultural education contexts because I had a near experience years ago working with kids in a school and I really enjoyed. The second has to do with the environmental issues, it interests me topics like the territorial resistance and the defense of the land. It also calls my attention work in interdisciplinary jobs in archaeological sites and some gender topics like decolonial feminisms. I would to like to have the experience of work indoors and outdoors, I think it depends the kind of job. Of course I...
