Post 10: English Language Challenges

Hello everyone! This is the last post for the English class. The topic is the challenge to learn a new language, a foreign language.
In my opinion, learn a new language is very complicated, because is usual that our parents talk one language. Also, we have an education since children where teach us speak Spanish; only in a few schools the education programs include other language. But not all the children have the opportunity, to assist bilingual schools.
For me is a big challenge learn a foreign language, in my life I had French and English class in the school and in the university I have English class. I think that the English is not difficult to learn, but know that any other language implicate dedication and study. I admit that I'm a little lazy in study for the English class, because the language don't like me very much, but I think that learn this language is very necessary for today, where many things is in this language,  for this is important learn English.
The English classes in the university are different than classes in the school, in the university we use other methods to learn the language like use the internet, for visit pages where we can practice the English, writing, reading and listening different things. One of the activities is write in a blog, where we can improve our writing, all the classes we must write one publication about different topics, using the vocabulary that we know. I think this activity is good idea to learn more vocabulary and write better.
I need improve many aspect for my English, the most difficult for me is speak in English, because is shameful, and the pronunciation is difficult for me. I think in practice this part and improve more and more.
I use little the English outside the classes, I translate some song or text. I never speak English with other persons.

bye!

Post 9 : My future Job

Hello everyone!
Today the topic is my future job, for me is very complicated speak about this, because I'm no sure about it.
Obviously I hope work some day, but is difficult for me, think about how will this experience. Also is difficult think in me, like an adult, with many responsibilities.
My first problem with job, is the little free time for do other activities. I think that the person who has a normal job, working all days in the week, monday to friday, since morning to evening, has a stressful life. I don´t want this for me life, I want have free time for my family,  my friends and for me. For this reason I think that have a normal job is a wrong decision for me.
I think in the possibility to develop my own project, without depend to the other person, working in things that like me, to establish my own hours to work.
If I had to work in something related with my career, I like have a job in the investigation area or in a museum. 
If I had to speak about my strengths and weaknesses, first would speak about the negative, I would say that I'm a person that not wants to do thing that don't like me. And my strength, I'm a committed person.
Yet, have a job isn't a topic very important for me and try to see this with other perspective. I'm sure in have a job that like me and not one that is an obligation. I don't want a stressful life, I want a life very happy and make thing that I enjoy, even if speak about jobs.
See you!

Post 8 : Ten Guilty Pleasures

Hello everyone! I write today about my guilty pleasures.
I think the guilty pleasures are the things that all make feeling guilty or shame, and anybody want that other people know this.
I have not many guilty pleasures, I don't feel ashamed for the most of things that I do. I suppose that the opinion to the other people is not important for me.
Moreover, I agree that feel guilt or shame for own actions are something imposed for the religion and culture, and I try to take distance to this imposition, because I think that the people not must feel limited for dogmas.
One thing that makes me feel guilty is listen some music like Belanova, is some funny for me because I listen this music only when I stay alone.
The music to this singer is very bad! I don't know why like me! Is very strange. The themes of her songs are very absurd, are like listen speak to a woman very silly, that only want in her life is find to the "prince charming" and get married with him. For me this is very ridiculous.
Well, this is my guilty pleasure, is very funny! You can laugh of me.

Post 6 : Your favourite artist

The topic for today is our favorite artist, is very interesting, but is difficult for me because choose only one artist, because I like many artists some very different, different periods and styles.

One of the artists that I like is Marcel Duchamp, he was a french artist, he comes from a family where a lot of integrants chose to be artist.
Duchamp developed his work in the twenty century and was related with artistic movement like a cubism and dada, but is difficult to inscribe this artist in only style, because him work is very wide and different.

One of my favorite work, is a painting called Nude descending the staircase No.2, this painting is considered one of the most bold and smart to the twenty century. This appreciation is that Duchamp sought to represent the movement, but a sequenced movement that giving the impression to the temporal course of events, this is some that had not been seen before in painting, moreover this work had influence to the chronophotography.

The representation to the movement is sometime that Duchamp reiterates and mark their works  Today this painting is in the Philadelphia Museum, institution that has most of the work of Duchamp.

Post 5 : A Career-related Article

Well today I must choose an article published in some newspaper, I choose to a article about to Japanese photographer called Daido Moriyama, published in The Guardian and written by Sarah Phillips.
I liked this article because its principal topic is the photography, I always have been interested in this type of work. Moreover, the formation of this photographer was self-taught, this want to say that he learn alone to take photographs, for this reason he said: "Take as many photographs you can: it's the only way to train your eyes, body and emotions".
The photographs to Moriyama was taken in the street, in different cities that he visited,  for this reason him work have a natural stile. In the article the photographer show us that the most example about he work is "Stray dog".                                                        
Too have another type of work, in the article speak about the photographs taken to the legs of women using tights, and other images of the women's lips. Moriyama explain that this type of scenes have a erotically charged.
A example about the most erotic photograph is How to create a beautiful picture 6: Tighs in Shimotakaido, in this photo we can see a body, specifically a legs with tights, is a photo takes very near and present us a body that almost can touch, is for this, that Moriyama believe that this photo is erotic.
Finally,  the photography is very interesting for me, is for that I choose this article.

Post 3: Unforgettable holidays

I want have holidays soon! (summer holidays). I think that all the holidays are good because all wanted enjoy.
The past holidays, in february I travel to Argentina and Uruguay, I worked all the weekends in the year for pay this trip and think that this was a good decision.I went with my boyfriend and stayed far to home for a month approximately.
The reason why these holidays are good, is because knew new places, go to Buenos Aires and the beach in Uruguay, all are places very beautiful. Visit many places such as museum, parks, beach and much more.
I like to travel again there, but I hope in this holiday know the south of Chile or  travel to Bolivia and Perú, always I want know these places, so repeat the trip will be another time.
My holidays always been entertaining, before going to the beach with my family, my cousins and my grandparents, we played a lot and really enjoyed it.
In this photo I'm on a beach of Piriapolis in Uruguay.

Post 2: Social media

Hello everyone, today I write about social media. First, must say that I'm not a technological person, for this reason sometime is difficult use this website and I don't like me very much this type of things.
I have a facebook page, use this site for speak with friends and family, I don't have twitter or other pages. I think that all this websites are good idea, but I'm not convinced, because make that the people to go away more and more and speak through a computer or cellphone, this is a little boring for me.
I think that is recommend share no much information in the social media, because aren't safe places. All said that is very dangerous published direction, numbers and personal information, because all can see this. I published little information and share with some people and I don't like up photos or videos because think that is something private. Moreover, stay very time front the computer is not interesting.
Well, later read this post you can understand that the social media don't like me very much!

Bye bye!

Hello everyone!

In a long time I don't write in the blog, because I enjoy my holidays.

The time in this year was very quickly, I can't believe that it is the second semester. I liked very much this station to the year, the spring is very nice, the sun isn't very hot and the plants (trees and flowers) are very pretty.

Well, I think that my first semester was quiet, I don't have many things to do (speaking about responsibilities), only came to the university. I didn't have serious problems, this is god!

In the class I learnt new things about latinoamerican  and precolumbian art, this topics are interesting for me. In my free time I share time with my family, friends and boyfriend.  

I hope that this semester had a lot of god and entertaining things, I have any plans and things to do.

See you the next class! 

Blog experience

This is my last post! Today I will write about my blog experience in the english class.
Write in a blog is something absolutely new for me, because never I had a blog. For this reason use this page sometime is complicated. But asking to my classmates I learned a little more about how I had to use this web page and learned that this is not very difficult.
For me, initially write in a blog was not pleasant because was difficult to improvise my english writing without use a dictionary or translator. I took a long time in publish my post. But later I understood that write in the blog is a form to improve my english. I don't now if this exercise gave some result, I hope to have some advance!
Even I have problems with the grammar and verb conjugation, maybe when checking my corrections can learn more about this.
I think this experience has been good, I learned to use a new website and tried improvise more my english.
This is the last time I write on the blog and I hope that my writtings has improved even a little.
I see you in the next english course, still remain a level!

A free topic!

 

I found an article with information about Buenos Aires in the BBC page, has some details about the city, its neighborhoods and its present economy.

I elected this article because Buenos Aires is a city that I really like, also I was there on holiday and I stayed for a month, approximately.

As mentioned in this article one of things that I like, is the architecture, because exist a lot of old buildings and walk closely of this departments was as like living in other time.

Buenos Aires is a city very pretty, large and pleasant.  There are many places to go, museums, restaurants, cinema, shops and square. These places are very nice and everyone, tourist and Argentinean people, enjoy them.

Something that I really liked were the fairs, are made by generally in the weekend and sold a lot of things like a books, antiques, cloth and food.  Too, many people play music and showed different shows.

I think that Buenos aires is a good place to know and too to live, I would like some day live in this city.

I hope this article be interesting for you.

English learning...

A lot of time that I didn't have english classes, since the school! Is for this, that the english class in the university have been a great opportunity for learn more about english. There a lot of things that I didn't remember as words and pronunciation.

I think that is very important learn English, because today a lot of books are written in that language, sometime to work is necessary know english and can serve in the case that travel to a place where speaking English.

Personally I would like that the teacher taught us the conjugation of verbs, because for me it is very difficult to remember the different ways in which verbs are written. As well is necessary learning more vocabulary for use different words when we write or speak.

This experience in the English class was useful and I did make new tasks, like a oral presentation and write in a blog.

The only thing that I don't like about the english class is the timetable, is very early! And as I like sleep and live very far to the university was complicated and difficult arrive at time.

See you!

What is the beauty?

Today I must be see a video called "Darwinian theory of beauty" by Denis Dutton. I found it interesting but the exposer told a little slow and it was boring.  He told about beauty and relation with the theory of evolution, for him the concept of beauty is not a culture condition is more like something it’s deep in ours mind is been there from a long time ago. Some of the things that he expose make me sense, because for me the idea of beauty is a culture construction that’s mean we need a formation from childhood, and for that we need a lots of time.

I think that own idea of beauty is very simple to explain, because we live in a society that introduces concept and definitions about what is common, one of this concept is the beauty.

When the exposer told about arts, he may be reference to classic art piece of arts like Leonardo or Miguel Angel, because he considered that beautiful arts is only well done paintings. In this way, he forgot the modern art because this style many times uses technical than a superficial look seems weir, but the expert of art although common people appreciated their beautiful.

Even when I don’t share his opinion, I considered interesting what he proposed.

See you!

Well, I think that Frank Warren's idea is original, this video is very interesting. I'm surprised because is very strange for me that one person collected secrets and other people share secrets with him, a stranger.

The web page created by Frank, is a tool for the people. They can used this web page to find object lost o just for see secrets.

The messages in a postcards are very different, some secrets are sad, funny or adorable.As Frank said, the mesagge reflected who write that.

The one things that scared me is that people shared their secrets with a stranger because they are alone persons. I hope, I'm wrong.

Also, is interesting the web page created by Matty, where he published pictures of people who lost their cameras. In this page they can recovery at least their photos.

See you next class!

Well today will tell you about a picture that I like. This photo was taken by Andre when we walked near to Cerro Santa Lucía, exactly was taken on the streets Santa Lucía whit Moneda, this can be seen on the street sign.In the photo I'm sitting on one sideof the street I remember I was tired because we walked a lot for the center of the city.
This picture was taken about two years ago, and I like it because remember many good times I've been taking walks by Santiago, I also like that this unfocused is for this reason that the lights are much brighter, all this gives the effect of motion to the photo.
I think this picture is one that I like, although not very pretty, I like his style and the memories it brings.

One of my favorit music band is Fun people, this is a Argentinian band, they start to play music in the year 1989. This band was composed of five persons, their vocalist is the more know his name is Carlo, but called Nekro. This group is broken in the year 2001. I never can see this group. 
The music that their play have a very interesting letter, the songs are in english and spanish they mix these two languages, they speak in theri songs about the human and animal rights, gender prolems, ecological topic and many more
The album that I like is named Anesthesia, this is a first albun, the songs that I like are "New York city clon" and "Ánimo".
I hope thata once you hear this band and enjoy!
