Level 3, Pre-Intermediate, Post 8, 'A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester'


This teme is not my favoryte, i must confess in this semester I have not had a very good time, because the most of my teachers have continued their classes as if they were regular classes.

This has happened to me especially in sociology classes, where professorships last more than 1 hour and a half, assessments and academic burden has not changed, this has had more time than usual studying, because concentration is more difficult for me.

This has not only been academically heavy, but has brought me other problems, such as headaches from being long in front of the computer or back pain.

For that, I must thank you, that at least the English classes, more than a load has been entertaining for me, because there are interactive activities, fun assessments and that is greatly appreciated these days, so I like to connect early to English III.


For this I want to thank you through this blog for your understanding and support, it has been very relevant to have a different class than others and that it is also nice to take.

Regards

Level 3, Pre-Intermediate, Post 7, 'Carrer-Related Website OR An Expert on your Field'



If i have to think of a person or an expert in my field that i admire, i can talk about two people. One of them is a teacher who incentives me and support me as a student (he helped me to change from my university program to u Chile program, but now, I will not talk about him).

Now I will talk about a second person that I admire in my field, this person is an author named Karl Marx, I know, he is really criticized and he is very controversial, but he is really good and it does not matter if you agree or not with his ideas, however,  everyone agrees on one thing and that he is a great author who explains capitalism and its bases so completely (its failures, its tendencies to crisis and functioning) through workers’ exploitation.

He was a philosopher and economist (yes, he is not a sociologist), he was born in Prussia in 1818 and died in London (it is really ironic that he died in the cradle of capitalism). Karl was an intelectual who theorized about the Society, Economy and Politics, he criticized capitalism and put in evidence the explotation and the appropriation of the work force by workers, and not only that, he also contributed to motivate a thousand of workers to fight for their rights.

So, because of that, i like him, he is really great and one day we will be able to see the consecuencies of the capitalism and i hope that society will change someday.

Level 3, Pre-Intermediate, Post 6, '2nd Themed Free Post' June 13, 2020




Not again, a free topic? Really i dont like them, because i dont know what say or what write, i really went blank in this situation, but there is no way, so i will write about my travel to Iquique.

When i traveled to Iquique it was in december 2018, and that was the first time i traveled without my family. This trip was for the university, they paid me to go to present a research to the sociology congress. We did this research among many people, but only two went to present it to the congress.

The best part of this trip was when the congress had already finished, and With my partner we were able to take a tour of the saltpeter works (Humberstone and Santa Laura) and the town of pica.

I learned many things in iquique and it was a very nice experience (also was free) and I was able to visit many places and spend a nice vacation in the north of the country.

Level 3, Pre-Intermediate, Post 5, 'A photograph you like'



A photograph you like







If i am honest, i must confess that i don´t really like a lot the photographs, but i found one photo that i like. This is the photo that i took when i traveled to Uruguay, this travel it was the best travel that i have, because, i never had traveled outside the country and someone invited me, and its a wonderful place, there is a beautiful beach and a wonderful weather.

This photo brings back a many memories, many laughs and also this photo reminds me that they have a very good food, there i fell in love with the milanesas (its a meat fried) and Chivitos (it is something similar to churrasco with french fries), i ate a lot in that place.

I took this photo when I had my last day in Punta del Este, after I traveled to Montevideo, I love it, I found a lot of books there and so cheap, this it was my favorite moment in Montevideo.
