English Language Challenges

I been always interested on learn other languages, actually I can “cheer” in 6 different languages (don’t ask me why). When I was a little child at primary school were the first time I learn something in English I remember my first words Left and Right I learn it at the same time that “izquiera” y “derecha”, well this fact doesn’t make me a professional in english because to learn right a new language you need to practice a lot !!.

I think English class here at the university it’s totally useful, Blog experience at English III and Video blog of English IV are very interesting tools when you need to practice your grammar and pronunciation, also have to create “histories” or talk about very entertaining topics, this make blogger experience if isn’t the best, one of the best ways to practice grammar and text writing.

The most important think at this level its pronunciation, video blog its great tool but I think it could be another way to practice, well I have a German friend we talk since I knew his mother on Dominican Republic, I help her with Spanish and she teach me some crazy words in German, but the important part is that we communicate everything in english, with this a practice a lot of oral communication and we learn together (both aren’t experts in english).

Outside English class I use English to watch videos in YouTube of science, of stuff like that and when I am with my friends we joke a lot in english saying a lot of funny things also memes now are in english too so we shared a lot content.

Changes To My Study Programme

Summer Holidays

"The cradle of men"

                

                       At the beginning of the year my mind where focused in Machu Picchu or San Pedro de Atacama at least, but the bad weather in summer for the well-known “Bolivian winter” and the expensive trip make me change my mind. Now I think its better start this summer adventure nearly to the place I where I came from.

My next summer destiny will be Cochamó in “Mapudungún” (the original language) it means “where waters come together”. In this quiet place where the Reloncaví estuary meets the ocean surrounded by wonderful landscapes and life: places like National Reserve Llanquihue, National Park Alerce Andino and my final destiny “Cerro Arcoiris”.

I will go maybe in February with my best friends Carlos and Jocelyn ...

Drug Abuse

Drug abuse is an extremely important issue in society now, people are getting things into their bodies even without knowing what they are consuming, the misinformation is unbelievably large even so the country has not taken over this being the "main culprit" of people lost in drugs, in fact the government has tried to take charge of it for example of marijuana with commercial advertising that in my opinion its stupid and irresponsible which does not educate consumers but rather attacks them (Conace, 2008). I am convinced that drug abuse is a problem of society rather than of the addicted person, if you don’t think the same way, come on and watch this video to understand my point of view: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao8L-0nSYzg”

Conace, 2008 gov of Chile

We are so blind, drug abuse its everywhere, one or two more spoon of sugar in your cup of coffee wont kill you right now, but maybe in 30 years when you will need inyections of insulin, you are going to remember me.

I have only tried marihuana as “drug of abuse” (and will be the only one), actually I used when its necessary (actually my philosophy of that its “provided it really is a contribution”, marihuana had something that the other drugs haven’t, to cause laughter in people, since I have memory is scientifically proven that laugh can help to our health, laughter releases endorphins which are neuropeptides is a natural opiate up to 20 times potent pain pills, decreases levels of anxiety and depression being very effective when it comes to fighting stress.

But not everything is color pink, marijuana prevents full neuronal development, for that is recommended people under 21 years don’t used, because it affects our ability to solve problems, scientific studies show that people who used marijuana in their lives can take up to 4 more minutes to solve a problem that a normal person solves in 5 minutes…

Is it worth those minutes or a life full of uncontrollable stress?

each one chooses the life that wants to live (only tries with this does not cause problems to the others).
