How green I am

I think that people learn about environmental friendly practices in their house, in the school and by the means of communication –like many things that people learn. Other way to know about it is by talking to the friends, like in my case; my university classmates teaches me how to make an Ecobrick, by example. I learn the importance of being ecofriendly in the school too, because since I was a child my professors talked to me about the importance of don´t throw garbage on the floor and the importance of the small actions. Years later I learn in the subjects ‘Technologist Education’ and ‘English’ about recycling.

Today I’m making an Ecobrick with wrappers, and I use the public transport or ride my bike to go to the University or other places. In spite of it, in many occasions my dad takes me to the places by car. I know that attitude isn’t ecofriendly, but I’m usually late and he’s so kind to me. By other side, I think that I have to recycle more and take less time at the shower. Also, I try to buy things with a minor carbon print that other similar products, and I want to do this more.   

Finally, I think that Santiago is a city in which the ecofriendly education is poor. I don’t know how the Education Ministry plans are actually, but I really hope it to teach about the importance of don’t littering, recycle and produce a small carbon print. I think that it’ll have to be included in the national TV too. 

The English and me

I began with the English classes at Universidad de Chile in 2012, and I think that it helps me to practice that language. This, because I had to talk in English with my classmates and write the blog, learning a little about pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. It really helps me because I worked in my self-confidence about talking in English.

By the way, I have to get better in my accent and especially in my vocabulary. I want to improve this things by listening to music, watching movies and talking with people in this language. Also, I’m thinking about going to reunions of people interested in improve their English at pubs in the next year.

Outside of the English Class I’ve been learning English since I was a child, in a slow way. When I was eight I began playing videogames with a lot of texts in that language, and I learned many things. In the school I had classes too, but Final Fantasy VII was more important to my English in that period that it. Hahaha. The classes became more important later, and helps so much to my grammar because I had to write many texts. Other important precedent to my English was my travel to Bolivia, in which me and my friends made Canadian and French partners; I practiced my talked English with them.

By other side, I usually don’t practice my English in big way. I talk to myself sometimes, especially when I’m talking the dog out.  I read texts in this language to the University and watch movies in and series in English too. I really want to improve it because I want to have a master in Anthropology in issues that are not touch in Chile, and because I’ll go with my sister to Europe next year and I think that know how to talk in English will help me a lot.

It is my last post, I hope. Hahaha. Thank you for reading me, blesses for all of you!

Summary of my year

The 2014 has been special for me, because I mature a lot. Last year, since I entered to the University, I learned so much, and this year the reflections that I made in 2013 and also in the first months of this year, became into actions and attitudes that made me felt so well. In this sense, I have been working with a political group in my University, had dates and go to many places. Hahaha.

In this way, I did many interesting travels. I went to Bolivia with friends by auto-stop, and it was great. The places were beautiful, I share with lovely people and we had lot of adventures. By other side, I went to an Anthropology Congress in Valdivia with my classmates and friends. It was a good experience because I learnt thought and discussed about the discipline. Also, I overnight in beautiful house of a student of Universidad Austral, Pastora, that became my friend in the same way that Llicel, a classmate that was my roommate in this occasion. Pastora’s house is in crag of Niebla, a beautiful place where you can always hear the waves, see the herbages and feel, in the morning, the mist.

By other side, I went in the winter holydays with my group of friends to Pía’s grandmother house in Pichidangui; I really loved the experience because I really love my friends. Also, this last semester I have been working in a proyect with friends of my carrer about the problems that fishers of a village of Región del Maule have with the law.  We went to this place in September, and it was a great experience. We have become very close friends.

Finally, is important to say that I and my family moved to live to a beautiful apartment; I’m really happy about that. Also, that I met sweet people, became closer to certain friends and continue with a good relation with my family. Usually, I don’t see the bad side of the things: I have make mistakes, but I’m always learning. I never know what will happened, but I can act the way I like and do the best of me. And, the year ins’t over -there’s many things that can happened and that I can do.
