At the school I was not a bad student of English, but I never understood the importance of it until I had English at university. Now I know that I need to learn this language because of my major and because I want to have more  opportunities in the rest of the world with my major such as reading papers or writing them, and also for the rest of my life, for example knowing other people or traveling alone without the need of other people to traslate. I want to do it by myself.  The use of blog at the beginning was not so important to me because I dind't understand why we should do it, but in time I saw it. Writing my ideas helped me to take out all my  knowledge and also what I was learning class by class. Now I can see it.  I need to improve a lot of aspects of my English, like grammar, spelling and talking, and all that is important to me for my major. In sociology you have to learn English to travel and understand other  colleagues and also f...

In this blog I will write about the changes that I would make to my study program in the sociology major. I will not be realistic at all, because I feel that the most important thing is a much deeper change than just a few small things. First, about the subjects I think it is important that in our major to have more art, music and sports classes will allow us to educate ourselves more deeply and to be much happier beings. Regarding the workload and length of studies I think it is the number of hours we attend classes is good, it is very important to be and hear the teachers and classmates, but I think it is not necessary to send so many tasks, texts and final tests , because it is not a parameter of knowledge, it only tires us and makes us suffer. Chile is one of the countries where the major  lasts five years or more, which is ridiculous because it is expensive to study and very few can pay so many years. I feel privileged in terms of infrastructu...

Today in this blog I'm going to answer to 4 questions about different kinds of violence. The questions are:  So, fist: My opinion about owning an exotic pet: I think that today the exotic pet's industry is huge. In Tailandia they have a big problem with animal's trafic. They sell snakes, monkeys or tigers and they become rich with it.  They abuse of these animals making them live in little cages, removing the teeths and a lot of other horrible behaviors.  This is violonce to beautiful kind and tender creatures for the human fun.  About violence on television: I try not to watch to much TV because I think that is full of different kinds of violence: on news, in national and international TV series, but the worse kind of violence is in reallity shows.  Reallity shows are made to insult, embarrass, hit and make fun of people in a close space, exhibiting the most horrible behaviors of humans beings just for ...

    When I was in school I never had the chance of doing a sport, first because in my school it was not important, and second because I was always very bad in it. The only sport I practiced a bit was basketball, but over the time I realized that I was not very good in it and I didn't liked it that much either. My team and I where invited two times to a competition, but I was very bad and I hated to fight with the other girls. So I realized that sports where not my thing, so I decided to practice something esle. I started going to a art class after school, I really loved that because we could paint all afternoon and we had all the materials for us; brushes, paint, papers, scissors ... Then a teacher told us about a new class after school: orchestra. First I didn't think that I would like it, but then I met Luis Palma, the teacher in that class and I knew that I would love it. First I thought   that I would play the violin,...
