For a person that doesn’t like the English language, I think that I learned many things in this course.  I’m of the idea that we should have this course across the career because many of my classmates don’t have the opportunity of to do this course at the same time, then we have different levels of knowledge about this language.

The use of blogs was very interesting to me. I enjoy writing and have to do for a course like this was really funny. The topics were very interesting because it was about different aspects, not only about the University. I could talk honestly about important topics such as friends and personal projects.

I need to improve my pronunciation and learn more vocabulary. I’m trying to apply the English language in different situations. For example, I read articles or other pages in internet that are write in English and try to not use dictionary or translator. Not long ago, I had to help to tourist in the street. They needed  to know how go to a shopping and I could talk whit they within problems.

When I finish my career I would like to do a master's degree in strategic communication. Usually a magister that lasts two years and would give me knowledge of internal and external communications. In my career we have a bunch of specialty, but not as deep, so I'd like to do something extra at the end. This specialty I would to access a much more comfortable than dry journalism. For example, it could be in charge of business communications, developing an internal newsletter, manage communications workers and help spreading a brand or company, work done from Monday to Friday in office hours and also has a good salary.
I'm not sure this is done immediately upon leaving, because I also like to apply for a grant for exchange and study abroad and I also thought of studying another career, as a degree in history, for example.
I think everything will depend also on my practice, I should do it this summer. I wish that was in the area of ​​internal communications. That will be a great opportunity to see if I really like the area you intend to and if I do well is likely to offer me to stay permanently.

Friends are very important person in the life of all people. As says somewhere, “are the family you can choose”. A good friend is a person you can share your problems and it help you to find a solution or to stay quiet if you are very desperate. But a good friend also enjoys your happiness, your success. You have to looking for a person to give happiness, time and interest. The important things are you can count with this person, independently if you see your friend daily or if you only talks with he on the phone or chat.

I'm a good friend. Sometimes, too much. Should be for this that I don’t have many friends. I want to say that some people aren't the person do you think but you have to trust. I'm honest, funny and if a friend needs me I run for help him.

I like to meet people in the university, but the best friends I have I made in other situations of the life. My closest friend is Paula. I know her since 2008, when I worked in a shop. She is seven years older than me. She gives me good advices and I see her quite often. Always when I to go downtown, I pass for her house to visit her and talks long hours about life, boys or family and the projects of everyone.

I keep in touch with many friends of the school. My best friend of the school is Patricio. He is a really good friend. We don’t meet hardly ever but soon, on November, we’ll make a school reunion.

When I was a child I read many books to the school. Now, I don't have many time to read the things that really like me. I remember when I was around four years old and my mother bougth me a story collection. It was very special because the books was very big, like an atlas and come in a box. Was the stories of "Blanca Nieves", "el Hombre de Gengibre" between others.

Now I enjoy reading some books to the university, about the old history or books about the best works of journalism in Chile. I dont have an special writer but between the chilean writers I like to read Cristobal Peña and also admire the works of Vicente Huidobro and Maria Luisa Bombal.

I recently read a book of a chilean young writer. It was "Canciones punk para señoritas autodestrctivas", of Daniel Hidalgo. It took me a couple days and read it in the bus and subway. This is a book of stories that happen in Valparaíso, mixing the reality with fiction, accompanied by a soundtrack of punk songs. It trapped me because the stories talks of real problems of young people, love, poverty, the misery and punk music. Is a comparission between a punk song and the reality of the port.
I reccomend this book specially if you are young and if you love the punk music.

I wait Independence Day holidays all the year. First because are a really rest in middle of a hard term for who studies or work, where you can go to travel or simply relax and second because are many days of celebration , you can prepare typical food and taste typical drinks of the season such as “chicha” and my favorite, the “earthquake”.  

All the years, we celebrate in family doing a barbecued meat and adorning the garden with garlands and flags. When my grandmother was alive she was the first in put herself peasant dress and invites to dance a “cueca”. Sometimes we go to “fondas” and my mom loves go to see the armed parade in the Parque O’Higgins, but I hate go. You can’t see anything and the park is always crowded and very dirty.

This year, my uncle Luis and my aunt Yolanda visited my home to Independence Day Holidays. My aunt brought “empanadas” made by herself. In the night I went to the Disco “Blondie” with my boyfriend but in the middle of party I began to feel very bad.

post 3:my best holiday

South of Chile should be between the Seven Wonders of the World. In the Araucanía, you feel like if you are in the paradise. Colors, people, meal, mountains, lakes, rain, wind, forest, all things of nature you can imagine in a only place to relax and enjoy. 

I visited Caburgua in 2010. I travelled by bus around of ten hours, but it wasn’t a problem because de ride is very pretty and the bus stopped in many cities such as Rancagua, Chillan and Temuco, where you can down and buy somethings to the way.

I travelled with my boyfriend and we spend our holidays in a camping site near to Caburgua lake.

The first day we went to swimming in the lake and also we rent a boat. It was very funny. The second day, my boyfriend taugh me to row in kayak. The next day the weather was cold and we decided walke through the forest. We founded “copihues” tree, the national flower of Chile. It was very exciting because this flower is at risk of extinction.
