English Language Challenges

 About my experience learning English at university, I have a few comments. In the first place, I think that virtually having English classes, doesn't allow me to practice my speaking very well, due to if I could go to the university I would talk more often and fluidly with my classmates and make my speaking better. However, even virtually, learning English was great for me, I could practice once a week and learn about different topics.  The teacher made us write a blog, about different things related to our life. I think that this a good way to learn how to express ideas more consistently and not stay with the typical and basic conversations. Also, with this exercise, I could improve my writing and reading comprehension. This last, help me to read faster and to understand papers, something very useful due to at the university you have to read constantly papers in English.  On the other hand, there are many aspects of my English that I must improve, such as my pronunciation and flu

Postgraduate Studies

 In the future, about two years after graduating from university, I would like to take a postgraduate study, as a master for example. At the moment, I would like to take a master's in something related to bioanthropology, public politics, or social work of the kind of working with communities and dialogue with them. I would also like very much to specialize in areas that would allow me to work with current problems, especially of the social type, or to work in a more scientific and laboratory area. The reason why I would like to do a master's degree in the future is that as a social scientist I must be constantly learning new things and this type of study would allow me to acquire new and more specialized knowledge. I would like to take this studies abroad because, in this way, I would get to know other interesting places, cultures, landscapes, societies, a new language, so I would get to know many more than the subjects that the course would teach. As for the place, I would li

My Future Job.

When I think about my future job, I see myself as an archeologist. I would like to get this specialty because I think that is a very entertaining and gratifying job. Also, like an archeologist, I can work both outdoors and indoors, and I would like to work both ways. Firstly, I can travel a lot during investigations and get to know many places. So I hope to have funding to can participate in various investigations and excavations in different parts of the world, such as Mexico, Spain, Peru, Brazil, and many others. On the other way,  I would also like to work indoors, such as teaching at a university. I think that work as a teacher is very important because you can embolden your students and work with your futures colleagues.  Respect the salary, in general, I don't expect very much, but I would like to get enough money to live comfortably, to be able to save and buy a house or apartment at some point in my life, and for last can pay abroad's studies.  At last, for my future jo

What's Like to Study Anthropology?

                                                                            I study anthropology, in a few words, this career and profession are dedicated to the study of how human beings relate to the environment in which they live, analyzing their culture, social structure, their relationship with nature, etc.   The reason why I chose this career is that is interesting to me to understand how men think and act in a certain social context. Also, this knowledge is very useful, because understanding a context in depth, allows us to establish dialogues between the different parts of society and also helps us to think of appropriate solutions to problems related to political and social demands.  Studying this career online is very frustrating because I have missed a lot of things, such as field trips, laboratories, and visits from important academics to the university. One of the difficulties of having online classes is that I have to do group work constantly and since I do not know my cl

Life in Pandemic

  The pandemic has affected the lives of all people, since not only does it imply a threat to the health of the entire world population, but it has also come up with a series of problems that have affected people's mentality and their way of relating to the rest. Some of these problems are anxiety, depression, and stress, caused by confinement, as well as economic instability due to layoffs, sales declines, debts, and unemployment. These situations have caused several people to resort to common pots and food boxes provided by the government. In this way, I think that since there is not much we can do because not everything depends on us. However, people should try to be kind and supportive, we are all going through difficult times and if we are kinder other people may feel more supported. Also, valuing family time more is a good opportunity to share with our loved ones and be responsible. And for last, if we all take care of ourselves and are more responsible, it is more likely tha

The Best Holidays Ever

                                                                                  My best holiday was in the mountains, near Pichirrincon in San Fabian de Alico this summer. I went in March for three days with my cousins, my sister, my brother, and my uncle.  Since Pinchirrincon you can go to the Andes mountains, that was what we made. For this, we have to go with two guides and ride a horse for 8 hours, passing through rivers, slopes, and cliffs. The road was very dangerous and I felt scared all the time.  When we arrived at the camp place, it was late and we were so tired that barely can move. In there we put together the tents and cook our dinner. After that, we go to sleep. The other day, we go to a river with thermal waters and take a rest. The place was very beautiful and relaxing, with a great view of the mountains and the sky was so blue and clean that breathe in there was a wonder. Finally, on the third day, we sorted our thing and we left the place.  This trip was my favorite

A Country That I Would Like to Visit

Imagen
  My dream is to travel to Greece for vacations and stay here for a month and thus get to know every corner of the country. The thing that I Know about Greece is that this country is very interesting and diverse due to having beautiful landscapes, volcanoes, beaches and a lot of history. One of the reasons why I wanna go to this country is that I love learning about history and Greece is considered the cradle of western culture therefore if I can go someday I would learn a lot in this place. Moreover, the other reason is that I really enjoy making trekking in nature, especially the hills, and Greece has a lot of hills and mountains to do that. In this way, once in there,  I would like to spend a whole day in Mykonos swimming in the sea and taking sunbathes. On the other days, I would like to take different city tours to archeological sites like the Parthenon, Delphi, The acropolis of Athens, and many others.
