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 fluency. Is hard to have to talk to someone because I get nervous thinking about what to say and I just can´t say anything that sounds natural and good. Also, my pronunciation is a little bad whit words very longs. To improve this, I think that read out loud and talk a little while with my friends is very important. Also, it would be a good way to occupy my English outside of class, since the only moment when I put my knowledge is reading papers and listen to music.

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.

My Favorite Object

Without a doubt my favorite object is my Kindle, this is a small and very light electronic reader. One of its many advantages and that is also what sets it apart from other devices such as tablets    or ipads, is that it has electronic ink which makes the screen looks like a page of paper. This allows me to be reading more comfortably for a whole day and without getting tired of my eyes or my head hurts, as is often the case with the computer screen. I think that it's a comfortable and friendly way to read without having to print all the texts, buy books or be in front of the screen for a long time. In my career I have to read several texts every week, so this device has really saved my life, plus the battery lasts quite a bit (I charge it every 2 weeks approximately) and being small its size I can easily take it everywhere.
