English Language Challenge

The first time I did something in English in FAU was when I had to make a test to know which level of English I had to start with. That was my first experience and I was selected for the third level of English thanks to pass the first two levels with 7.0 and 6.5 marks. I began with English III at the first 2017 semester with Simon Higginson, The teacher. The dynamic of blogs has been one of my favorites because I've could write about several things that I love and many experiences in my life and that's something I like because I can show to people facts about my life and I can know more about my classmates. With the time I have noticed that the aspects I have to improve are to speak fluently and listening better what native English are speaking like in movies, songs and TV shows mainly. Outside the English class I am using English to translate papers and articles that I find interesting to read like archeology, biogeography and nature, my favorite topics. I use English to learn new words and add them to my life dictionary, so when I have to travel to an English speaking country I won’t have problems to communicate with the population of those countries. I am going to keep using English because I must to learn it if I want to talk with foreigners’ geographers and start projects with universities around the world. I will miss to write blogs in English and that makes me sad :( You will never be forgotten dear class! I'll see you soon!

My study program (changes)

Hi my people, today It's time to tell you about my current career and it's study program. I began to study at university in 2015 and now I'm in my third year of university. The study programm I am is the precedeing curriculum because in 2016 this one was changed to a new curriculum with new subjects and new rules for students who be enrolled from 2016 onwards. There are many subjects I have to study like SIG courses, human and physical geography, biogeography among others. My current study program contemplate also elective and sports courses. My workload has been increasing since the first year because there are several evaluations as academic year goes. The career length are five years considering time for thesis and practice. The faculty has two computer rooms where all the students from different careers can make their worksheets and other things. Going back to my career I think isn't necessary to make another change to the curriculum because last one was last year and that's fine. Maybe I would add some potential to GIS courses because we don't learn all the tools that has ArcGIS. Also I would like that our career would have more facilities to apply the theory, like having easiest access to the laboratory of geography and to get ArcGIS already licensed, this last because sometimes we are working on ArcGIS and the program fails suddenly. That's all my folks, enjoy this career while studying because in the future we are going to miss our time here, maybe...

Summer plans

Hi everyone and favorite classmates, today it's time to write about holidays and summer plans. In the future or early the next year I want to go, like always, to the beach. Still don't know if I'll go some beach next summer, but that's my wish every year, going to the beach or even travel to other country, to the mountain, the dessert, an island or the Patagonian Ice Fields. I would like to visit to my mom's cousin who lives in Curacautin. If my family has some summer plan in the future, it would be the best thing ever. Now I remember my mom is planning to travel with her sister, my cousin, my father and me this next summer. Maybe I would like to climb so volcanos like Llaima, Mocho-Choshuenco and Lonquimay. I also would like to go some Hot spring to get relaxed and distracted from civilization, apart from walking across forests and record the nature of the Araucania Region. I had planned to work as a instructor for the new 2018 students helping them to choose a career in my university, but sadly I wasn't selected as one of them. I am still thinking how I'll organize my time with my friends and my parents, but probably I will be most of January lain down in my sofa watching my cellphone and TV xD, but actually I want to go out and maybe meet new places in Chile.
