#6 English language challennges

Hello, in this opurtunidad I will speak about my experience learning English in the university. The truth has not been as expected. I entered English II, where the teacher, due to personal problems, often could not attend. The classes we had were really very basic, we never had the opportunity to speak, except in an exhibition, which was very short. Then, in English III, the experience was not very different, we rarely had about grammar or subject matter. What did change was that the teacher spoke to us in English most of the time. Now that I am in English IV, the experience has not been very pleasant either, not because of the classes themselves, but because we never had English before, between classmates there is a great difference in knowledge. We are not prepared to have a conversation in English for more than 1 minute. Blogs do not really consider that they are of great help, although it helps to increase the vocabulary, I think they are not very interactive and they a...

#9 Changes to my study programme

I can say that it is not easy to study an artistic career in the university, even more so when it comes to the body, which in this system is ignored. While there are many things that I do not like or consider should be reevaluated, I think the race is well thought out, because everything works. What I would most like to change is actually the educational system in general, I think it is harmful and for some people, it is not fruitful. The teaching methods vary according to the teacher, in general, they all have studies in pedagogy, where they experiment with materials, which make our learning easier. As for the curriculum, I consider that learning should be progressive, for example, in the basic stage derian have branches of self-care and anatomy. Which are fundamental when working with the body. As for the following years, I consider that the curriculum is consistent with the training. Regarding the hours of work, I think it is quite hard to study this career, however, I gue...

#8 Summer plans

Imagen
I've been planning and saving for this summer for about a year. On December 7 I go to Peru with my partner and two of my friends. We do not have a clear itinerary yet, since we all go on different dates. We plan to stay as long as possible, we do not have a return date, so we would like to know what we can. The only place I am sure I would like to visit is Iquitos, to be in the Peruvian jungle. I would like very much to be able to take some Afro dance class and to know a bit about the dance scene in Peru. Actually I would like very much to know their culture in general, their meals, their music. As I mentioned before, I have been working hard for this trip, so I do not intend to work in the next few months, but maybe after school I will take some sporadic work to save the latter. Our trip will change according to the experiences we have, but despite this, we are very eager to visit Argentina, although Argentina and Peru are not neighbors on the map, we would like t...

#7 My favorite book

Imagen
Whenever I have to choose a thing like my favorite I remember all the things that I like and I can not choose. Thinking who would be my favorite author, I can not choose between Jose Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar and Roberto Bolaño. Borges and Cortazar are Argentines and Bolaño is Chilean, all three write literature. Usually I only read literature, when I read other things it is because of the university or because I want to learn something. The last book I read was Putas asesinas by Roberto Bolaño, I read it for the second time and I liked it the same as the first time I read it, I feel it is a quick book to read, They are thirteen short stories, my favorite is Putas asesinas , tries about a woman who seduces a Spanish nationalist, whom she knows on television. Finally she kidnaps him in her house. I recommend this book, simply because I recommend reading Bolaño. I do not have a favorite book, because in general I think I have been lucky with the readings I have chosen. I always...

#5 My future job

Imagen
I'm always trying to get my own money, so I've had jobs for some time. One of the first, was in a seamstress studio taking out the loose thread of cushions. Then I worked in a printing press, where I had to do minor jobs such as folding sheets, cutting, assembling boxes, etc. This year I have been saving a lot, most of the money I get from food that I prepare and sell. I would like to have a job that has to do with what I do, dance. But I would also like to be a curator of art. I think it is a complex and meticulous work, it attracts my attention. I imagine that it must be an arduous and solitary task, spending a lot of time in a museum. In this particular case I would not mind spending a lot of time in one place. I would like to travel a lot, to know museums from all over, in order to work in different works. As for salary, I do not think of a special figure, only stability to live quietly. I am studying dance, I have not really thought about what I would like to sp...

#4 My favorite food

Imagen
It is difficult to choose only one favorite food, because I like to eat a lot. I am vegan a few months ago, the truth has not been difficult, I had to change a few things in my diet. Usually like many legumes, especially lentils and chickpeas. Also many fruits and vegetables. This time of year is my favorite because I can eat all the fruits that I like the most, such as strawberries, cherries, watermelon, custard apple and mango. I think my favorite food changes with the season of the year. In winter, my favorite food is soups and mashed potatoes. In summer they are humitas, pastel de choclo and porotos granados con pilco. I like to cook a lot, I cook every night for lunch the next day, usually, in the university eat what I eat always haha, legumes with some carbohydrate, usually potatoes or rice. As fruit more than three times a day or peanuts. Actually I do not eat much in other places, since sometimes it is difficult to find vegan restaurants without having to make a VER...

#3 My favorite film

Imagen
I could say that all the films of Pedro Almodóvar are my favorites, I love photography, surrealism in his scripts, the soundtrack, absolutely everything in his films, he is my favorite director. It's really hard to choose one as a favorite, I think it could be "Todo sobre mi madre", the plot of the film is complex and extensive, so I'll choose "Volver", this movie is from 2006, it's about Raimunda who is married to a worker in Stop, they have a teenage daughter. Raimunda has a sister, Sole, a hairdresser. Marta, the mother of both dies in a fire with her husband. The sisters miss her a lot, but unexpectedly, the mother shows up at home, visits her daughters and the village neighbor Agustina, with whom she has "pending issues"... I like it because it speaks of three generations of women, who go through tragedies, madness and superstition. I think I like to see all kinds of movies except horror. The last movie I saw is called "THE ...
