English Language challlenges


Well, I must be realistic, this is the last post on this blog. Although I think it would be interesting to continue writing. I could consider a good alternative to continue practicing my English.

I can remember my first English class at the university, it was in English.
III. I liked it because I think it's a fun topic, I think it's the only one I've heard from all my colleagues.

This semester I decided to miss some classes because I had a lot of work. I do not like to miss classes because I like English class. I think it's a class with a balanced level of humor and content. Hahaha

Humor is always necessary
Who could live without humor?


At first I was ashamed to speak in front of my partners, but now that I know them, everything is much more comfortable. Sometimes funny events happen, for example, when someone speaks Spanglish. In general, all classes have fun times.

I do not know how I will practice English after classes are over. Writing would be a solution but it is not enough. Well, I have friends who speak English perfectly ... I'll think about it.

As a first step, I think I'll continue watching the series in English, but with subtitles. Do not tell anyone, please hahaha. The teacher could know this.

What can be improved?

I think the English class is good. The teachers are friendly and do their best.
The problem of English is the poor compatibility with study programs and class schedules. My schedule has no problems but I have partners who have the worst schedules.

I do not want to say goodbye, see you soon!

Changes to my study programme

Hi all!
Previously I told you that I study architecture and about my job expectations.
I have never told you about the experience of studying architecture, especially about my study program. First, I will talk about the teaching of architecture in my university and finally the changes that I would make.
The architectural study programs are very different from the studies. All universities have different visions and therefore some of them are very demanding and others are very relaxed.

In my faculty, the architecture program consists of theoretical subjects in the mornings and practical workshops in the afternoon. In the mornings we learn about the history of architecture, structural calculation, urban planning and research. In the afternoon we create projects where we use all the content we have learned.
Until this point everything looks beautiful but the truth is that it is not.

The demand for work is extremely high. The afternoon workshops are very demanding and generate conflicts with the theoretical subjects. Many students decide not to attend classes because they must study, make reports, research and projects.

I did not know I was going to study two careers in one!
According to our professors, "whoever does not meet these requirements can not be the architect of the University of Chile". I believe that this thought is absurd. Other universities have programs designed for the student's comfort. These universities have a better architecture ranking than us.

The best change i would make to my curriculum would be to reduce the workload. I am very worried about the health of my partners.

Now you want to talk about infrastructure?

Administrative charges do not invest in infrastructure. Currently the buildings of the faculty are in poor condition. I think if I keep talking about the problems of my study program, nobody will study in this institution.
