Hello everyone, today is the last blog! I must confess that at the beginning it was difficult for me to write blogs about   the different topics that they gave us. I feel that it helped me to know more vocabulary, to learn about writing. The blogs catch my attention, being able to tell my classmates and that they read my posts it is similar to what one can do on Facebook, it is very interesting. The experience of learning English at university was good, it is the second semester that I use this virtual platform, I feel it costs me a little less to write the blogs that the first semester of this year in English lll. In addition the teacher was very kind in answering our doubts and worried that we learned the correct way to write or pronounce words or sentences. The aspects that I have to improve are many hahaha but I must give emphasis to the structure of the sentences, think and write the ideas in the correct way. Of course I also have to improve my pronunciation, but I...

Hello everyone, today I will write about some changes that I could be made to my study programme (major). First, in terms of the curriculum the subjects you have to study are very varied, for example some of the subjects are: mathematics, statistics, economics, law, political science and some that are specific to the Public Administration and relate directly to it. About the  w orkload and length of studies it can be said that the duration of the major is five years, in a normal semester, the load should not be difficult to carry on, it is rather approachable within everything, however due to paralysations and student contingency the semesters are reduced and usually with the same academic load and amount of subject to be evaluated, becauese of this  teachers can not pass the subjects well in such a short time and also for students it is difficult to be able to perform everything with little time and this can be very hard. The third point that I should mention is...

Hello everyone, today I will write about my opinion regarding certain topics… Child Labor First, you must understand what is child labor? According to the website of the international labor organization, the term "child labor" is usually defined as all work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is detrimental to their physical and psychological development. Therefore my opinion on this issue is critical, because there are certain children's rights that in all countries must be protected, to avoid violations. For example, in Chile, children have special rights that were ratified in 1989 in the “Convención Sobre los Derechos Del Niño”, in addition to the general rights they have by the Chilean Constitution. Therefore I believe that in addition to a moral obligation, it is a legal obligation to protect them. A Chilean tradition called “Mechoneo” Every year during March a traditional "welcome...

The only pastime that I maintained until a while ago was swimming, although I practiced it intermittently. There are times I went often went swimming and there were weeks, even months, when I stopped practicing, due to the time and distance between the pool and my house. I discovered that it was my favorite sport when my mother enrolled me in a summer course when I was a child; I was 5 or 6 years old. The last times I went (last semester), I trained in the pool of the Universidad de Chile ("Puente Cal y Canto" Station). Sometimes I went alone and other times with friends, whenever time allowed me. Swimming is a sport that I like a lot because it makes me feel good physically and emotionally. It is different from other sports; I love being submerged in water because it makes me escape from reality and homework. I would love to go back to it again, because lately I have been unable to do it. It has afected my mood in a negatively, it is incredible how the sport can have a pos...

Hello everyone, today I will write about postgraduate studies. First, I need to write the reasons that motivate me to continue with postgraduate studies when finishing the major Public Management and these ones are to continue learning and to pursue perfecting myself, which would allow me to have a better job and higher salary expectations. However, this alternative can be expensive; in any case I feel that the results obtained when doing it are worth much more than the initial expense of paying for a postgraduate degree. The subjects that I would like to study are; government and public management, public policy and management, accounting and environmental planning. These subjects mentioned I would like to study them at the Universidad de Chile, the ideal for me I would be to study the magister in Government and Public Management in the plan of continuity of studies that has Instituto de Asuntos Públicos (INAP). I would like to study the master with the in-person classes a...

Hello everyone, today I will write about my future job. To begin I must mention that the type of job that I would like to have would be in the area of Public Administration because it is the major I am currently studying and I really like it. I imagine myself in the ministry of agriculture, in the agricultural and livestock service or in the office of studies and agricultural policies preferably, since the area of agriculture and the environment seems very fascinating to me and I would be very happy if I can achieve the goal of working in any public service related to that . I would prefer to be in an indoor job, but from time to time having activities outside of the office. As for travel, it's not a dream for me to travel a lot, but it would be interesting and entertaining if I could travel occasionally. I do not have certainty about the salary, but I would like to earn enough money in order to live the way I want and reflected the years of study at the univers...

Hello everyone, today I will write about my decision to study Public Administration.   Before starting my studies in this area, I only knew that public administrators were working in institutions of the public sector and that the subjects of their study plan were humanistic, mathematical and economic. When choosing my current career, I had no other options than Public Administration in different universities, but the Universidad de Chile was my priority. I had already gone through another career and in that period I discovered my true vocation, since being in the previous career I was taking courses that made me decide and realize what I really wanted to study. With respect to my motivations, I project working in the Ministry of Agriculture, in the Ministry of the Environment, in the Agricultural and Livestock Service or in any institution related to these topics, in this way I complement all my tastes in a single job, from what I love: The Public Administration...

Hello everyone! today I will write about my pet. Well, to begin I must mention that my pet is a dog and his name is Simon. This name I chose, because the house in which my dog ​​was born was located in a place where all streets have names of biblical characters and although I am not a fan of religion, I thought it was important that his name had a meaning related to the place where my dog was born. It is a small dog, white and very docile, loves to be fond and does not like people to ignore him hahaha At first, my parents did not want pets, but after Simon arrived at my house, the opinion of my parents changed drastically, they love my dog! Simon is another member of my family, my dog ​​accompanies us to all the places we visit and it has been two years since he arrived at our home. I find it incredible how a pet can change your life, it is a very deep reflection, but very true. My dog ​​makes me very happy and I can not imagine a life wi...

Hello everyone! The subject that I selected to write about today is "Concert". Well, to start I must mention that I had a hard time choosing "the best concert I've attended" since there are two that have fascinated me a lot:   Metallica on March 27, 2014 and Coldplay on April 6, 2016. Finally I decided choose Coldplay concert, which was held at the "Estadio Nacional de Chile" located in Ñuñoa. The band was formed in 1996 in London. Their style is pop rock and alternative rock and is composed of four members; Chris Martin (lead vocals, keyboard, guitar), Jon Buckland (lead guitar), Guy Berryman (electric bass) and Will Champion (drums, choirs and other instruments). The atmosphere during the event was really magical, the stadium was full of colored lights, since when entering the concert all the people were given a bracelet, which when the band started to play, they all went on at the rhythm of the music and that was wonderful and very str...

Hi guys! Today I will write about a country I’d like to visit. The country which I will refer is England, because I like it's capital, London. I think it has a wonderful architecture,  the studios of Warner Bros are  also in this city  where the eight films of the saga of Harry Potter were filmed and all of this is something that I really love! I would really like to visit these studios. The information that I know of  England is that It´s a country that is part of the United Kingdom, the political system is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system and another important issue that I should mention is that England has a temperate maritime climate. Even though it is a country that catches my attention, I would not like to live, work or study there, since it is not in my life proyects to stay for so long time in an English speaking country. I would only like to go there on vacation for a few days or weeks, nothing more than that.
