English

English at university have been very useful and necessary, because to learn a language is important to develop a way of internationalism.I like this subject so much, because since I began I have learned a lot. But I think that the class began in an  exhausting hour, about 6 o clock and 6 thirty. Luckily this did not happen in the English IV course. Although that I have improved, I still must practice in the speaking and pronunciation, and then I must practice in daily conversation. The use of of blogs it was also useful because sometimes I had to write about subjects that i did not have an opinion before. Other people think that the best form of to learn a language is to travel a foreign country, such as my cousin; he learned English, because he was obliged to speak a foreign language. Actually a do not so much English outside class . I could to begin watching movies in English without subtitles, Another way to learn English is to listen English songs and read lyrics. When I was kid I did not care about English, now I think it and I say :´I must be more responsible in the English Subject ´ . Well, the think is ... I need to learn English quickly and one fast form is to travel to a country where the people speak English. If I decided to take this option, I have to define where I am going to travel and How much time I will spend in that country. My cousin said that he learned in about two years to speak English. I remember I was 16 years old I took an English course and I learned very much , the classes consist of talking in English, the teacher gave a CD and the CDs had only English conversations. Regrettably I had to leave the course, because after I had to organize my school studies, and then I had to make a decision.

My future job


Hi , today I will talk about my future job ; now I am studying art at university of Chile and in my second year I took the mayor of goldsmith , I chose this option because I did not want to do something not traditional and interesting in art , but this area is so expensive. In the future .... actually I do not what to do, but maybe I would like to art class, In other words; I would like to have a job of art teacher . But would not like to do class in art faculty of university of Chile , because my experience in first year was not enjoyable with the teahers. In general , the first year in the universiy is very hard . In a job I would consider that my boss is friendly ; and if a interview of job I were asked about my strengths and my weakness … well I have to tell about my weakness and my strengths; I am absentminded, desorganized and a little messy. But my strengths are : I have a high self-esteem , I am responsible with my homework and housework. Is very hard to get a good as a teacher, because there are many teachers in Chile. Also I would like to get a workshop and to sell my works in a smallshop, It would be so fun . I do not like the museum, because is something so traditional and elitist ; but if I need it , I will take it
The world of job is very hard. I feel that there is a lot competition and sometimes your boss could be a jerk and irresponsible.

Environment


Hi, today I will talk about the environment; actually I am not very committed with the environment, but I believe that it’s an important subject. I have noticed that there is a lot of information on the internet about the environment. I don’t know many recycling ideas, but I try to turn off the light when I am not using them. I use the public transport and even my legs instead of a car, because not only is driving very expensive, it is not environmentally friendly as it makes Santiago have even more smog.

I have not joined any eco – organization, but I support and I agree with its ideas. The reason why I have not joined these organizations is because these groups end up bossing you around and I hate when people tell me what to do.

Well I have participated in the students movement, but in general, this does not have many relation with the environment. First, I want to finish my studies and after participate in social organizations, but actually I have not made up my mind yet on what theme, because there are many problems that must be resolve in Chile first. Unfortunately for me the environment is not my main priority.

I personally believe that the subject of the environment must be addressed more frequently in the mass media, such as TV and Radio, because Chileans in general do not read much. This subject is complicated; especially in Santiago of Chile, because this city is a basin which contributes even more to the formation of smog.

Music

Hi, today I going to talk about music, this is important for me because without music I could not have decide my artistic vocation . Music was the beginning in my artistic task, I began to play guitar since I was ten years old; in a moment it was very difficult, because I did not have motivation and neither favourite kind of music. In other words I was studying guitar for obligation. When I was twelve years old I leave the guitar because I was a little frustrated, but after two years I return to play guitar. In that time I began to enjoy of metal music and that year I wanted to buy a electric guitar, but my parents did not want to do it . Anyway, I had to look for news styles and motivations in music. When I was 15 years, I began to listen others styles, mainly protest and poetic music . I began to listen Silvio Rodriguez, Pablo Milanes and Victor Jara and after I got to interpret a lot  their songs . This mark the beginning in my style of music and I got to learn a lot in this style and mainly in acoustic guitar. Also I began to develop a point of view since the socials and politics problems ; all this was very strange, but at the same time it was enjoyable. I do not know why I listen this kind of music, I suppose that protest and poetic music makes me feel complete.

I have to go to this fair , it will be very interesting because there is 11 different countries, representing its works .Actually I do not usually go out to museums or exhibition of art, I need to go with company because I finished in boredom . I have gone out little to museum, in general I go to fine art museum; sometimes I go to Telefonica´s building to see artworks, In December in the last year I went to exhibition of engravings of Pablo Picasso.

why did I choose to study art

Hello, today I will talk about why did I choose to study art. Everething began when I was in my fourth year of secundary, actually I did not know to study, but I had proximity in art; I studied guitar since I was ten years old and I learnt a lot. At the end of the year I began to interest in goldsmithing and I discover that in The University of Chile have this speciality .Then I make the PSU and I got the enough score to enter to this university. Well, my art inspiration came simply because I did not study a career very absolute, also since I was ten years old, I had a little artistic knowledges, this inspired me. I made this decision When I was nineteen years old in the year 2009. When I enter to the art faculty in my first year, I met a very strict theachers, who were jerk; since this point of view I was not very happy. In a moment I thing even to retire of this career, but after I changed my mind. I prefered to continue, at the end I like it. Now I specialize in goldsmithing and I am very happy . I do not know that I am going to do when I graduate, but I do not want to live out making art exhibition.

My best holiday

Well  I have travelled to many places, but I wil never forget when I travell to south of Chile . This trip began when I was 9 yeas old in the summer, I travelled with my faher, my mother, my brother and my sister. At the beginning we arrived to Temuco, It was so rainy and the city was not so novel, but I like Villarica more than Temuco, is beautiful, in especial the volcano Villarica and the craftsmanship is very interesthing . My father bought me a ´Indio Picaro´ this toy is very funny, and also I bought one else to my cousin. Also I bought a spinning top, I did not use it; it passed four years before i learn to use it and play with my friends, it was very dificult task. Also I knew Valdivia, It was very beatiful as well, I remember that the people was very friendly and It was cold . After we arrived to Puerto Montt , actually i did not like it, It was very dirty and urban ; I remembered that there I saw a Ripley , this reminded me to Santiago. Puertto Varas it was better than Puerto Montt. Later we travelled to Chiloe, We had to use a ship to arrived there . The landscape was beautiful and amazing and the lake too. I liked this yourney because I learnt so much of chilean culture , such as the spinnin top. The landscape is awesome, the flora and fauna is beutiful as well. Also the people do not get stress as in Santiago File:Costa de Chacao.jpg
