Blog 6: My experience with the English!

Hello everyone! I will talk about my experience with my English writing this blog.

It is not the first time I have written a blog in English. If you go to my profile you can read the blog I made in English III. So at that point my experience was a little more relaxed and I knew how to do it. But this time we are more students, we have more blogs and more stories. I like to read the other blogs and get to know my colleagues better, with this online mode it is so difficult to talk to each other and get to know each other. Blogs are the closest we are. And in this way we practice English differently.

This last time I've been watching YouTube videos with English subtitles because they don't have Spanish. I think it is a way of learning English outside of class. I also watch videos of a band that has Australian members, so I listen to their English a lot. Perhaps if I see more things or read more texts in English, I could do better with this language. For example, this semester for my architecture projects with my team we had to read several texts in English for our references. That is why it is so important to learn more and more English for my future.

I want improve my pronunciation and writing. I still have a hard time expressing everything I want to say in English. Maybe learn well the conjugations of verbs especially in the past tense. At school they made me learn them by heart, but not in a way that lasts to this day haha

Blog 5: A photography I like

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about a photography I like. 

I really like taking photos because I remember the moments I lived better. Photographs are good or bad memories, anyway they help us to remember situations in our life. Last semester with the teacher I wrote about a photo I took in the field when I was camping with my friends. Now I will show you a photo of my cat because I love all the photos of him.

My cat's name is Orion. She is 5 years old and has been in my care most of the time. Except last year when he was studying in Santiago. Then my parents had to take care of him until he returned. Now with the quarantine I always keep my cat. I love photographing her doing nothing like sleeping in my bed or on the couch. I don't remember when this photo is specifically from, but it hasn't changed much over time.

I have many photos of this type, but I cannot upload them all to the blog. So I choose this one mainly because it looks so beautiful and clean. Keeping it clean is hard work and I have to bathe it often just because it is completely white. My dad adopted him from a friend and when I saw that he was white I thought how dirty he would get. But whatever color it is, I love it very much and it is my life partner. I hope Orion will stay with me for many more years.

Blog 4: My future job

 

Hello to my fourth blog! Today I will talk about jobs and specifically what I would like to work on. Now I study architecture and I hope to finish my career haha. 
Sometimes I think I would like to specialize and then work on it. I do not know clearly, but I would like to work with modern buildings, especially green buildings, but not for large buildings but for people with less resources. Take what is sustainable and bring it to ordinary people. For this I need to study about sustainability and also study about social housing. At first, I wanted to study architecture to work with low-income houses, now I would like to combine this plus the duty of caring for the planet that we have as a society. I feel that if I can bring a little bit of what big green buildings have into homes it would make me feel a little more at ease with myself. In addition to bringing architecture to people who do not have and currently live as in small disposable boxes. I mean, social housing is not architecture as such, it is just buildings made precariously to be used.
 I would like to travel to learn about homes in other countries where they care about interior spaces, materials and that add sustainability. Maybe this ends up being just a dream of someone in the second year of their career, maybe I won't end up working on what I studied. I don't know. I hope so and that those who read this can also work on what they like, beyond money, that is rewarding in our lives and fulfills us.
