"English language challenges"

 

Hi guys, I hope you are well!

In this new Blog I will talk about my experience learning English at the University and how it has been my progress and complications over time. 

Now, my experience since I started with English at the University has been a new world, because when I got to higher education I had already been two years without having an English class (I was two years without studying). And although in high school it was not one of my favorite subjects, I paid a lot of attention because they had exchange teachers and they made very didactic classes and helped us through their games and songs to write and pronounce English correctly. 

On the other hand, the English Blog helped me a lot in writing and being able to write about different types of things and stories, and the fact that it is about personal experiences makes it more fun and easier to write. 

Finally, personally I consider that my level of English is not very good, it requires more practice and I don't use it much in my day to day life. Therefore, it is very difficult for me to write and pronounce it, but my weakest point is writing, and although the blog helps, I need to reinforce it. So, I was thinking of taking a more intensive course to improve and have a more advanced English before leaving the University, for professional life.

"Changes to my study programme"

 In today's blog I will tell you about the career that I studied, the wonderful "GEOGRAPHY" and where I study it.

Well, first of all, as I mentioned before, I study Geography, a very varied and rich career in diverse knowledge about our environment and planet. 

Based on its curriculum, I would personally make some very minor changes, for example, I would add more land, since I consider that in this career the practice is fundamental and I would increase the number of specialization electives.

Secondly, with respect to the academic load, I would eliminate the evaluated assistantships, since as the word says, they should only be assistantships to provide a reinforcement to the branch and to the curriculum, because the academic load of the assistantships that the University carries out is often equal to the professorships carried out by the professor. 

Thirdly, the infrastructure of the University is not the best, although it is a historical center, it does not present much comfort for its students, since it does not have, for example, an adequate casino for students, faculty and workers to have lunch in a comfortable and dignified way.

In fourth and last place, the use of technology should be enhanced, especially in geography. 

Finally, the teaching method of all teachers is not the same but so far I have had more positive experiences with teachers than negative ones.

Time travel to the future

 In this new blog I will tell where I would like to be in the future, the plans I would like to make in that place and why I would like to stay there. 

In the near future I would like to go to Africa, maybe it is a dream more than a vision for the future, but you could call it a frustrated dream. 

I would like to travel to Africa to do some volunteering and help many people who are living in bad conditions especially children, the exact time in which I want to perform this action is uncertain but perhaps in about ten or twenty years. When I can have the means and the study to be able to travel and the means to give some help. 

On the other hand, Africa is a place that for me personally as a future geographer has a lot of material to study, such as water scarcity, and its high vulnerability to the aggressive climate change facing the world and the enormous inequality that the continent presents. 

Finally I would like to stay there just for a while to be able to help and learn about that beautiful culture, as well as to study its landscape from a geographical point of view. But then return to my country to be able to practice my profession.
