Last time writing here in the semester.

Hello! Today is the last time that I write in this blog. It’s good to know that the end of semester is coming. May be it is not so good. (there are a lot of tests and few time)
 Firstly, I have to say it was a very good experience. When I knew the timetable of English class I was not very happy, but now I can say that every Friday that I came to this class, instead of share with my friends in “los pastos”, was good, because classes were nice.

When I was 16 years old, I lived with a japanese friend so I praticed English a lot (When my friend arrived, he only knew english and japanese language) . But, after that, I didn’t practice, so I forgot a lot of things about this language. Now, this semester, I remembered all of these things, so I`m happy. I also have to say that I learnt new tools and my english improved a lot. I think my writing skills improved, because every Friday I wrote on this blog so I corrected my mistakes.

Finally, I don’t  know if I would like to include something else in the future, because on March I thought: “it will be very bored”. Fortunately, seeing that from a positive point of view, I was wrong. May be, come every Friday’s afternoon it’s not so nice, some classmates are tired, or someone, like me, would like to do another things, but I don’t know who is in charge of this.
And, generally, It was a very good experience and I liked it.   

Hello! About take care of environment I must say that I think this is a very important topic and we need to preocapate about it. 

Sincerely I don't know very much about the 3 Rs, but I know they are: reduce, reuse and recycle. 

I agree with these three topics because are very good ways to take care the environment. 

The reason to take care the environment is that pollution - produced by industries, tecnology and people - is destroying our planet and our lifes. 

Sometimes, we forget that if we want to drink water, we need clean water or if we want to go running, we need clean air to breath. We are not the only alive been that needs it! Animals and plants also need it. We also needs aninmals and plants to live so we need to take care of them and us.

About my behaviour in this topic I can say that I always precupate of throw away the bin in a trash can, but I need to learn more about daily things like how much water I spend on day. This is a topic that I must improve.

After do this activity I remember the importance of that topic and I want to learn more about it. When I did the quiz I was surprised by things that I read in it! so I'm very interested in learn things that help me to spend less water, or light and more things to take care the environment and energy.

About myself

Hi! Last year I didn’t know what to study. Being honest, I was interested only in socials sciences. Firstly I was very interested in anthropology because I didn’t know sociology. Later, when I know sociology – I was watching TV programs in the night and I saw a sociologist commenting about student’s protest - I feel interest on it, so I began to get information.

In the end of last year, after do PSU, I wanted to study anthropology yet, because in Arica’s universities I couldn’t study sociology and the nearest city that I could study sociology was Santiago. But when I got the results of the test I notice that I could study in this university so I decided to study here. When I had to take the decision of what career I prefer, I chose sociology; because I think it give me knowledge to destroy some important problems.

I don’t know a lot of things about my career yet, I just beginning in the area so I think I need more tools and knowledges. I think that the first thing we need to do for contribute to society is understand the society in all aspects. So I think I chose a good career.

I also think that a very good way to improve the social conditions is work in the place where the problems are biggest. Someone who wants to improve the life’s conditions of people need to know what people in these situation really think and what they really want to do. Share with them and know them are aspects very important to me.    

Finally About choose a favorite subject, it is difficult. I like sociology, psychology, anthropology and world’s history, but if I must choose one of them I prefer sociology, because the contents are new for me and they are very important for me. I also think that sociology’s teacher, Raul Atria, is very nice.          

  

Things that I would like to learn!

Hi! There are a lot of things that I would like to learn but I don't have time to learn thems.

Last year I was interested in learn about politic and the society. Fortunately, this year on the university, I’m learning about these topics.  

About others topics. I like to go to the beach and swim in the sea. I can do it without problem, but there is one activity that I have never did and I would like to learn to do. This activity is to dive, because I`m interested in discover what plants and animals are under water and how they live. Maybe I will have to wait some years to learn it, because now I`m living in a city that doesn’t have access to the sea.    

Finally I must mention the history and culture of my city and my region: Arica. On school I learnt about chilean and world’s history, but my teachers didn’t talk about the city and the culture. I think that knowing about my city is very important, because I really love it and I like to talk about it. Three years ago I began to read more about my city and I can’t say that I have not learnt anything, but I thing there are a lot of more things that I must know.
