My experience learning English at university

Hello friends,
In this opportunity I will talk about my experience learning English at university. I never learned much about English at school, and now trying to learn English at the university has been a challenge for me. This English course is my third course on this language at the university.
Considering that I have never learned English very well, my experience in this course has been useful. However, I can not say that I have really learned English. I think it is very difficult to learn English well with these courses without having a basis from my previous teaching. I think I've improved my pronunciation a little. I have also improved vocabulary a bit. But I really have not learned much. This situation is unfortunate because I have tried to learn, but it has been very difficult for me. I think that this is due to the fact that in the University there is a lot of academic load for other subjects. Students concentrate on the subjects of their careers, and unfortunately the English classes are more a procedure than a learning space In this course there has not been one unit that interests me more than another, but when we talk between classmates in classes it seems fun.
The use of blogs has been useful because I have been able to learn about grammar and vocabulary. These aspects of my English I have to improve.
I have used English to better understand some songs, but I have not done much more because I do not understand English very well.
Thanks for reading me!

How make it better

Hi friends, As you already know, I’m studying psychology in the Universidad de Chile. In this career there are many opportunities to choice to what work on, because there are different fields to study like educational psychology or clinical psychology among others. But the biggest problem in the psychology curriculum is that there aren’t practice subjects to approach works areas, so there should be more of them to prepare the students when they leave the university. For example, in clinical psychology is very important to have a practice before the student stands in front of a patient. About the workload, I think that in psychology academic the demand isn’t so big, considering that to be well prepared is really important to this work. According to the length of studies, it is too much, because in other countries, university careers are shorter than Chile. I think this is to get more money from the students. About faculty facilities, the biggest problem is that there aren’t enough classrooms to make the classes, at the same time, of the different career in the faculty. Two years ago the university built a building that only has offices for teachers. Besides, there isn’t cafeteria that sells breakfast and lunch as other faculties, so there should be build a cafeteria to eat inside the faculty. About the use of technology to teach, only some teachers use it but I do not think it's a big problem if they know enough to teach it well. However, the faculty should train teachers to get to know how to use the virtual platforms of the university because some of the older teachers do not know how to use them well.
Well this is all for today, greetings

Personal opinions

Hi everybody,

I think that saying our opinions is ideal, because is really important to be true whit yourself and others persons. In this post I´m going to give my opinions about different topics.

First, about tattoos I don’t have tattoos on my body but I have thought about making one. I think tattoos are a particular art expression, because it´s a permanent mark on the body. But, tattoos can be very beautiful or very ugly, like any work of art. I like to see people with many colorful tattoos on their bodies. I think I'll soon get a tattoo if I find a cute design and a good tattoo artist.

About violence on television, I think it’s really problematic topic because every contents that shows television have political implication in the people. Television doesn’t distinguish different kinds of violence, and compares for example the violence of an assault with the murder of a mapuche. Besides, I think that to inform sometimes is necessary show violence on television, but television program shows violence to attract spectators and not to inform.

The climate change is a really important topic, because many natural disasters are happening now and many natural habitats are disappearing around the world. The climate change is a natural process of the Earth, but the incidence of humanity is evident and very dangerous. The big industries and the consumer society have generated great problems in many environments. So on this problem is necessary to change our way of life and take initiatives such as recycling.


About the possession of exotic pets, I do not agree because an animal is removed from its natural habitat only to show its beauty. The trade in exotic animals treats animals as sale products and this is very horrible L
