My English experience in college



My English background before this series of courses in college was really bad, if I have to qualify my level of this language from 1 to 10, 1 being painfully bad and 10 pretty awesome English teacher, I would definitely be more towards the painfully bad level.

Learning English in college has been a really difficult path, but I can definitely say that I have seen my progress, especially in my writing and reading skills. Regrettably because of online classes I couldn’t progress enough as if it was in the classroom with my classmates and a teacher this past couple of years. My favorite part of this subject have been doing blogs, its an awesome experience specially because I get to know the experiences of my classmates and interact with them in a different way of what I am used to.

One of the most difficult aspects of learning English for me is the speaking part, pronunciation and fluidity are skills that I am really lacking. For improving this skills my boyfriend have told me that is really important to listen a lot of content in English for example podcast and others. I try to all weeks watch series in English with subtitles in the same language, I listen music every day and sometimes I read scientific work without translation. Maybe in the future I would like to travel to a country that speaks this language natively.

THE STORY BEHIND A PHOTOGRAPH

Imagen
  I took this photo on a small island located on lake Calafquen in the Los Rios región. In the photo you can see Lake Calafquen, a small dock, trees and two kayak (my cousin's and mine). I took the photo in november 2020, in a travel with my family, that was because we needed some rest from the pandemic and it turn out to be a really fun vacation dispite of it The photo I like it because brings me very nice memories of those days, I remember that with my cousin Carla we went a lot  kayaking on the lake, and to get to the island we paddle about two hours approximately, We almost died of exhaustion, but when we got to the place we were really amazed for its beauty. In the island we could see various types of birds, trees, lizards and many orchid flowers. It was definitely an incredible vacation and I hope to repeat it.

The Best Field Trip EverThe Best Field Trip Ever

  When do you went to the field trip? For which class it was? Where did you go? Why do you went there? What things did you learn there?   Viña del Mar Botanic Garden In our first year as forest engineering students, we went to a field trip with our Biotics class to the beautiful city of Viña del Mar, also known as “Viña” or “Garden City”. We weren’t there for any reason, we were there because in Viña is located one of the most complete and amazing botanic gardens of all the country. The Botanic Garden of Viña del Mar is home of a diverse number of plant species, for that reason we went there, to learn to recognize different kind of species and get to know new ones. Our assignment was simple, get a group of five random people, recognize different kind of plant taxon’s, and deliver this to the teacher. The beauty of the trip was in the new and fascinating plants that we studied and see, like for example the Toromiro ( Sophora toromiro ) , a plant so rare that is extinct in nature

Changes to my study programme

Water is the future The curriculum of our career is lacking in a lot of aspects, especially in some that are really important for our development as professionals and that could improve a lot our value as workers. One of them is a subject that was long ago an important part of our curriculum, this is hidrology, the study of water and all things around it. I consider that this subject as a vital part of our formation, more now given the present state of water availability in the world due to climate change. Also water is irreplaceable in most of the industry present here in Chile and around the world. Becouse this reasons I think that hidrology should be part of our curriculum. Also to be more specific I think that this part of the curriculum should have one obligatory subjet  for semester the last two years of the career, this subjects should be, hidrology, basin management, hydrogeology and water management. All of this linked with the current study of the climate change, the environm
