English language

-

I had the opportunity to go to a bilingual school, but I never cared that much about the language. That changed when I turned 11 because I started to like a British group a lot, but I couldn't understand anything of what they were saying. Since then I gave the idiom a chance and started studying really hard.

I think I used to know more about English back in those days, now I have lost a lot of practice. I need to improve in my pronunciation and I feel that this is linked to the fact that I am ashamed to speak English in front of people that I know and do not know. I consume a lot of the English-speaking entertainment industry and constantly learn new vocabulary and how to pronounce it, but I still get anxious. The truth is that I have not thought of a plan to improve my English because it is not a language that I face very often, but the subject of English this semester at college has helped me a lot, especially because I don’t feel that much embarrassed when doing activities in small groups (because the members are close friends). Plus, next semester i will have again an English subject, that will also help me improve my pronunciation.

Outside of English class I don't use the language that much. Sometimes I make inside jokes that me and my sisters took out of shows that we used to watch when we were younger and a lot of them are in English. I also face the idiom when I listen to music these days and some TV shows that I have watched recently.

Cinema & films

Hello!! I really like going to the cinema, is a very fun activity, especially when you do it with people that you love spending time with. I think that the idea is really cool to break the daily routine we are always living in.  But actually, I don’t go very often to the movie theater. I never read the cinema listing, so I’m not informed about new releases, I think that even sometimes I go to the cinema just for the idea of going and pick whatever seems more interesting. I feel that when you go to the cinema you don’t just go there to only watch a movie; you have to be early to buy the tickets, buy some food (cinema and food are really associated), watch commercials and other movie trailers, then speak about the plot and a lot of others things. The last movie I saw in the cinema was Jojo Rabbit, which was nominated to 6 categories in the Oscars this year, and even won one. The plot is about a ten-year-old boy who lives in nazi Germany during the last years of WW2, his imaginary frien

The future of my studies

Hello everyone! Today I am going to talk about the future of my studies. Yesterday I was talking about this with my parents, I told them that after I finish my career I want to do a magister in the area of psychology I end up liking the most. The reasons to do the major is because in the university where I am currently studying you don´t graduate with a specialty, you are just a general psychologist. On an old blog I said my ideal job is to be in the social/community area, so the course would help me to learn more about this branch and be a good professional. I would like to study abroad, but I think it would be very difficult to me. I am very close to my family and friends, my happiness and mental stability depends on lot in them, so I have to grow up more as an independent person to have de guts to study outside Chile. Social interaction is very important to me so I would like to do a part-time course, in that case I would have time to learn and also have time for sightseeing the c

Favorite holidays

-
Hi everyone! Since I was a child I’ve loved traveling, but I think the holidays I liked the most were when I got the chance to go to London. In 2017 my parents told me we were going on a tour to Spain and because in 2016 I won a scholarship my parents were able to save money and include one more destiny to the tour: UK. I went there with my nuclear family, my mom, my dad and both of my sisters. We stayed  in a Muslim neighborhood,  from February 1st to February 7th ,  and  I felt very excited about that because my family and I have Palestinian ascendency and, on top of that, it had really good location (near the subway). We went to a lot of touristic places, but my favorites were the London bridge, the British museum, the Big Ben, the London eye, the Buckingham palace and when we took a train and went to Edinburgh for a day. I think the reason it’s been the best holiday so far is because I always wanted to go there, I really liked a band originally from the UK and since then I fe
