Blog 8 English IV: English Lenguage Challenges

Imagen
  Hi everyone! I hope everyone is okay in whatever you are right now Before I start the main topic of this blog I must say sorry for the lateness of this post but this week has been a mess between family issues and a lot of work from the different classes I have in the university. My experience about english in university has been great because I have learned a lot, especially with the blogs because with this task I can improve myself and in this way the english stays in my mind and I don’t forget it. Also, the teachers that I have been in the class III and IV of english, they are so nice with the students and I like the way they are teaching us with different activities in the class or different homework.  The part I want to improve in english is my pronunciation and be more fluent with what I want to say because sometimes it is really difficult to express what I want to say in spanish and for these issues I have I do and I will do different exercises, like using Duolingo fre...

Blog 7 English IV: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
  Hi, lovely to see you again!  Today I’m going to talk about the changes I would like to make to my study programme. I’m studying architecture in the university of Chile and actually my career has 5 years and a half to finish it. The first change I would like to make is upgrading the buildings of the faculty because the rooms are so cold in winter and so hot in summer and that is really uncomfortable. The reason for this situation before is for the high ceiling and the composition of the walls, but the trouble to fix these buildings is that they are heritage buildings… so it is complicated. The best solution for now is to put an air conditioner in the classrooms.  The second change I would like to make to the study programme is to put an obligatory class of physical education in all of the semester because with that way all the students can be healthy and the physical education help to release stress and this is really good especially in this career. The third change I w...

Blog 6 English IV: Time travel to the future

Imagen
  Hi everyone! How are you doing? I hope everything is going well :) Today I'm going to talk about time travel to the future. I would like to go to the time when I'm already working as an architect and finally living in my own house with my boyfriend, because I really want to know if I can make my wishes come true, if I’m happy with my work or I really change my mind and I’m working on other stuff, I don’t know… but at the same time that’s make me feel anxious or scary about the future because maybe I wasn’t able to achieve my dreams. Everything can happen… If the future I would be seeing is all great and awesome like I imagine right now, I probably would like to stay there because that situation would be something that I’ve always dreamed about. I’d stay because I think I would already have all the memories of the thing that I’ve lived until that time but If I don’t retain  those memories then I prefer not to stay in the future, and instead I’d live in the present.  I th...

Blog 5 English IV: My Future Job

Imagen
  Hello again and welcome to this new blog! And I am sorry for being late… Tonight in this blog I’m going to talk about my future job and that's gonna be architecture, the same thing that I'm studying right now. I imagine that I will have my own office of architecture and I will do amazing projects like Zaha Hadid did, and hopefully do these projects with friends that I have known in the university because I think they are marvelous.  Zaha Hadid is my favorite architect because she did a fluid architecture that looks so soft and awesome to the eye, like the picture down below. Also, I think this job will be a kind of outdoors and indoors thing because I must know how is the ground where I’m going to build and also I have to know about the people who live in the area to make a proper project and after that I will be able to make the architecture plans. I see my future job like I said before but also I can imagine the stress associated with this projects but the joy to see the r...

Blog 4 English IV: My pets

Imagen
  Hello everyone!  Today I'm going to talk about my pets and my boyfriend’s pet. In all my life I have had 4 dogs and now I just have one, regrettably. First of all I had a German Shepherd called ‘Igor’ . He was with me from when I was 3 years old to 16 years old when he died because he was too old and he was in pain because he developed different health problems because of his age and we decided to euthanize him. It was a difficult time for all of us but it was the right thing to do for him.  Five years before Igor died we got a new dog, it was a poodle, and my brothers and I called him ‘Pipo’ and he was my favorite pet of all I had because we were so close to each other. I spent a beautiful time with him until one day my neighbor’s dog killed him. It was the worst time for me because I thought that I was going to be with him till he goes old but it didn't happen. Pipo Two years before Pipo died we got two German Shepherds, we called one ‘Dinka’ and the other one we call...

Blog 3 English IV: "A Building that I Admire"

Imagen
  Hi everyone! Welcome back :D Today I’m going to talk about “A building that I admire” and that it’s “Heydar Aliyev Center” by Zaha Hadid. I really love this building because of its curves of the building skin, they are so soft and match with the context flowing with the floor as you can see in the picture. Well, this building it’s located in the capital of Azerbijan called Baku and its program is made of offices, a hotel, a mall, a theater and in the center of the building is a large square to spend a great time with friends and family. The main idea of this building is to represent the sensitivity of the azerí culture and the optimism of a nation to represent the future and the avant-garde in architecture on its lands. Finally, the principal material for this beautiful building and its skin is the fiberglass reinforced concrete and the fiberglass reinforced polyester. These materials were ideal as they allow a high plasticity of the design of the building with its curve...

Blog 2 English IV: The best Holidays ever

Imagen
  Hi guys!  Today i’m gonna talk about the best holidays I’ve ever had in all my life. This holiday was in February 2020. My triplets siblings, some friends and I went to Coquimbo-La Serena, celebrating the end of the exhausting semester of university (especially me because my semester lasted a lot). We went on a bus to the city and we stayed at the house of a friend.  Wetland - “El Culebrón”   The main idea was to stay there for 2 weeks but at the end we stayed 3 weeks because we had some great moments, like visiting the “Culebrón” wetland. It has a lot of ducks, dragonflies, and different types of birds… I took a lot of pictures of that moment but my sister has all the pictures in an HDD and she is not with me now… so I can't post my own pictures, sorry. Also, we went to a pub-restaurant called “El muelle” and they served 1 Kg. of french fries with different toppings and that was amazing and delicious. I highly recommend that place if you can go. The pub-restaurant...
