English Language Challenges

Since I was a kid in my school we are taught to speak English. I learned to express myself in English, writing, listening, reading and solving problems in this language. After I left the school, I stop practicing the language. I had not many instances to keep practicing, in fact the only contact I had with the English for 3 years was through music.

Losing the practice of a language is very harmful as it can be forgotten easily. Especially with a language that has many grammar rules, similar ways of saying the same words and many other things, for example, pronunciation.

Nowadays, level English this semester has helped me a lot to remember the rules of pronunciation, verb tenses and many items that have been forgotten. The challenges for the future, I think it has related with the level of English that I had before, recover it. And to incorporate aspects of my career in the language.

Learning to interact more with the professional environment through the English is very important for the future, because it give us a lot of tools for a development of and specific area.

Finally, what is most important also to learn and to express ourselves in English, it is constantly practicing, because not practice a language that can sometimes be difficult can make you forget it.

Good & Bad points

Today I´m gonna tell you about good and points of this year,

This year 2014 has had many good things and few bad. I think that since January began the good things this year. First, visit Chiloe with my college scout group for 15 days. I am head of 15 children, including men and women, 17 years of age.

After this trip to Chiloe. I stayed in southern Chile and I met with friends in a town called Puerto Varas. From there we start a trip through the valley of Cochamo and we were in one of the most impressive places of Chile. On this trip shared a lot with my friends, we laugh, we visited different places and it was far one of the best trips I have ever had. Being with the people you love is very important and this trip meant to me just that. Share with my friends, being with my family.

However, in early March one of my best friends told us the bad news that he was going to live in Germany because of family problems. This affected me a lot and I was very sad for a while. We are friends since I was five.

My year in college started really well. I'm doing broadcast journalism classes to students in the third year of journalism and that makes me very happy. The subjects of this semester I really like. And I reaffirm each day to study journalism and be a journalist is what I like to do in my future.

Personal fears

Today, the technological development of society has created many problems. These problems have led people to feel alone, depressed and no one to tell. The technology was born in order to join; however, personally I think it has done the opposite. We separated and has sparked fears that we have never had.

Technology has become part of our daily lives, we depend in many aspects of the use of technology. Today we could not survive without sending emails, phone call, talking on whatsapp, upload photos to Instagram or send a tweet.

The truth is that I am a person who depends on and uses much technology. I always use my cell phone for everything. I never forget to bring it with me to all the activities I do. And always charge the battery and take my charger everywhere, even when I go to parties.

I'm afraid to leave the cell phone at home, since I'm always aware of it. I watch it every five minutes. I check if I have new calls, messages, photos, whatsapp, instagram, tweets, etc.

The nomophobia is the name that has the fear of being without cell. “Nomo” means no mobile, and the word phobia means fear.

I know that is not a serious problem, I think sometimes the non use of technology is very useful to connect with the environment, with nature, talk to people, find out what's going on around me and not see everything through a screen.

How green you are

Well, actually in home we are creating a culture of be green and friendly with the environment. My dad always talks about that and he worries all time for the pollution, green energy and sustainability.

Because of that, all my family knows about how we have to take care of the environment, my sister, brother and also my mom.

Now I will describe what we do to be environmentally friendly:

In my house we use low energy lamps, like energy-saving bulbs.  We also turn off appliances that we are using and change incandescent light bulbs with fluorescent bulbs because they save a lot of energy and produce less heat.

Also, I’m fanatic of the videogames, I always play with my xbox360 and the controls need battery, so for this we reduce battery consumption. In the case where they are necessary, choose rechargeable. The danger of the batteries is presented at the end of its useful life because it takes many years to disintegrate and metals mixed with the environment pollute the water and air. So, we think that is very important to use rechargeable batteries for my xbox 360.

In other way, we always use old clothes for cleaning rags. Reusing products not only serves the function of recycling, but also reduces the consumption and production, reducing the impact on the environment. So is not very strange to see old t-shirts of my brother or me black because of the garbage.

My favorite food

Hello, today i´m gonna talk about my favorite food. Actually, there are many foods that I like very much: french fries, spaghetti, meat, rice, Mexican food and many other meals.

But my favorite food above all type of foods in the world is Burger King. The most delicious combo fast food in this restaurant is named “Doble Rodeo King”. This burger has double cheese, onion rings, barbecue sauce double hamburger and, obviously, bread. Always accompanied by French fries and a big glass of Coca-Cola or Pepsi, but I prefer the first one.

I have to admit that all Mondays of the year, I go to Burger King with my university friends and we eat fast food. And for that reason my mom always said to me that I will become a fat young man.

I know that feeding is very important, because like nutricionist say: “you´re what you eat” and is unhealthy eat fast food every day. In this way, is very important to combine food with sport and outdoor activities. Because is the only way to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

My dream job

It´s hard to describe the dream job, because i think that is closely related with the emotional. And that thing could change meanwhile the time pass.

However, in this time of my life the most important thing to me is journalism. I like everything related with journalism. Television, radio, journals and many other things that convert this profession in a very fun and interesting job.

Nowadays, I´m imagine myself talking about sports in t.v.. Maybe on Espn, Fox Sports or any national channel. The thing is that my dream is to report a soccer match. At the beginning i´m content with any match, but then I would like it to be in a game of some favorite team, like Colo-Colo.

Give excitement to matches and shout out loud  the goals and the people who see and hear you feel adrenaline is very rewarding.

Now, you can see that my dream job is to communicate people feelings and give them a good time, through the words and stories.
