Improving my English

 Finally, the last post. In this time I have to talk about how was this subject at the university. So this isn’t the first time I do English at university. The past semester I was in English 3 and because of that I come here with some knowledge about the structure of the subject. In English 3 we have the same format, with classes on Tuesdays and blogging the Thursdays, but in English 3 we have a less thoroughness. When I star t English 4 I feel a little bad, because I have bad feeling about my English qualities and came here with a lot of people who talks English so good, it was like “what I’m doing here”. But then I put an effort (a little) to increase my levels. And I think that I finish this in a “good position” I hope.

 About blogs, I have the experience of the past semester, but as I say before, we have a less thoroughness in that classes, so in English 3 I didn’t do all the blogs, and also, I never did the comments, so the new English class be an extra responsibility.

 The interest to take this subject obviously was improve my English levels, but now, when the end of the classes is near, I have to do a personal evaluation. Since school I have problems with grammar. I never like this part of any language, so English was an extra effort, but I know this is necessary to have a correct use of this language. Also I have to improve my pronunciation and my vocabulary, because there are a lot of words that I don’t know. And, How I plan to do this? I don’t know, I always try to use English but that isn’t enough. So I think I have to take an English course by myself the next year or in the summer.

 In my life is not usual the use of English. Sometimes I try to think in English and when I go to read the lyrics of a song that I like, I try to do without using any translate site or program. In my house I am the only one who has medium English, so when some product comes with an English instruction I have to read to my family. Also I look the some sites in internet in English and I have my cellphone configured in this language to make more “friendly” the use of the English.

Future Job....

Today I have to talk about my future job. Well, I’m studying laws, so I become in a lawyer. But, what kinds of things a lawyer can do? The first idea when someone says lawyer is a man or women, with formal clothes, who have to go to the court and defend a client. In my case I don’t looking to be like this. I don´t like to talk in public, but if for some reasons I have to do, I will. So the kind of work I looking for is to advise people and little companies too. People who has legal problems, they can go to my office and I help to find a solution for that.

But the problem is that I have to start being a typical lawyer. So my first job as a lawyer have to be go to the court to defend a client in front all the judges and the counterpart. But then with more experience I like to have my own office or if I work in a buffet, I will put my terms.

Also if all the things that I say don’t work, I think I will be looking to work for the government or I will join in a buffet with my classmates. Obviously I can combine two things and work in a buffet but only doing the advices.

But it will be time to that, first I want to take more subjects, because now, I prefer the civil law, but then in the next semesters I will have new subjects. I have hopes to administrative law and the elective class of urban law, because I like the streets, the city order, and the urban politics like the permission to build a house or another building (I think it could be about that kind of stuff) and I have a lot of friends who studies architecture and I think we could work together.

In two years

 How I see myself in two years, that’s a good question. If I go back two years ago, maybe I was thinking to study laws also, but maybe with a low expectative. My goal always was to study here in the Universidad de Chile, but two years ago I thought that I couldn’t reach that goal. Now thinking to the future, in two years, if I have the chance, I will be still studying here. I will be in 5^th or 6^th semester, the most difficult times in the career – that is what people says- so I think I wouldn’t have time to spend with friends and do things like go to the cinema or do a regular sport activity because I will be focused in the study. So my goals to do in two years, starting now, is obviously reach that semester in the career, getting over the semesters above, 3^rd and 4^th.
 That focused in my student life, but about my personal life, I think two years in future, I will be the same guy. I like the same music (post hardcore, metalcore, hardcore, etc.) since 4 years now, and that difficult will change. In other things, I think about my responsibilities, because of the university, maybe I wouldn’t go anymore to scout in my school, but I wish that wouldn’t happen. And about my family, I think I will be living with my mom, and hope to be still living with my grandma. About my house, I lived there for 2 years now, and I think that in two years that wouldn’t change. So basically my life will be the same in two years, I think.

R-E-C-Y-C-L-E

 My experience with recycling and the care of the environment, I think is good. I’ve been scout for almost 10 years, and I have a good “relationship” with nature.

 I think today is easier to learn about how we can cooperate with the care of the environment. Today the information about these topics could be found in the newspaper, in TV, and in internet, in related web pages and also in social networks as Facebook and Twitter.

 In my case, I have the habit to recycle years ago. Now I live in a small flat, so do the things that recycle require is more difficult, because you need a place to put the things you want to recycle separately from the garbage. But day by day I have the caution to put garbage in the correct place and if there not a trash  can near to me, I wait to have one or I put the little pieces of paper in my pockets.

 Also I have the habit to walk. I like to walk, so if I´m not tired and I have the time to do, I walk to my house, or everywhere I want to go (of course if the place is near from me). And I really want to have a bike, but the problem of the space in my house appears again.

 I’m not the kind of person who joins to the ecologist Campaigns, but last year I sign to PETA’s campaign on Facebook. This was about the abuse of the use of fur in the world. I think that was a good reason to join.

 I miss in the Santiago people the really care of the environment. People in general always talks about the global warming, but no one does something. The first care stars by ourselves, we shouldn’t give the responsibility to the government in this case. If people really care about the kind of garbage who could be reuse, then the government will see the change and they could put more money in recycling politics.
