Blog 1: A country I would like to visit

Brazil -

A country that I would like to visit is Brazil. I have always wanted to go to Brazil, especially since I speak Portuguese and have a lot of Brazilian friends. Many of my friends live in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Porto Alegre. They all have invited me to come and visit them.

If I go there someday, I think will go first to São Paulo because in picture it looks great and most of my friends are from there. People from there are called "paulistas" and people from Rio are called "cariocas." I honestly don't know much about the food there, but I know they have a lot of fruit that we don't have in Chile nor in the USA.

If I had the chance, I would teach Spanish or English in one of the universities there. Maybe I could live there for a year, who knows. Brazil is a huge country and it would be fun to travel around there. Hopefully I will travel there one day!

Hope you liked my first blog :)

    Hope you can go, Benji!! I've been in Rio and São Paulo and they kinda scared me haha, since they both are reaaaaally big cities. It's really overwhelming compared to Santiago's scale.

    Wow, I didn't remember you speak portuguese too. Brazil seems to be interesting but I've heard there is a lot of insects so I think I would be afraid there.

    I really hope that you can go! The things that you say about the fruits is so real, I have a friend who lived many years in a city near from Sao Paulo and he missed a lots of fruit and especially mixed with salty food. He has a really weird taste. He love put apples or bananas in a pizza!!! So weird for our chilean tongue.

Blog 8: Summer Plans

Imagen
Hi everyone, Today we are going to talk about summer plans. To be honest, I barely know what I'm going to do for Christmas LOL. Anyways, I know I will be going to Boston and New York at the end of January for about 2 weeks to visit my mom and that side of my family. It will be really cold, like with snow (probably) and everything. I will be excited to see my cousins, Kylee and Sarah, who live in New York and are basically my younger sisters. I still have some friends from my childhood in that area so it will be nice to see some of them. My mom wants us to go to Cuba :O which would be amazing, especially since there is an American airline called JetBlue, which is always really cheap and they now have a direct flight from Boston to La Habana. Going to Cuba would be a dream come true, so we will see what happens there. I do have to say that I dislike going to the States each time I go. I forget how expensive things are and how racist people are there, but New York is my favori...

Blog 5: My future job

H i everybody :) I hope you had a great weekend! Today we are going to talk about your future job. Well, in my case I will talk about what I like about working in the University of Chile. I started working here in March 2016 and I really like it for various reasons. I really like the focus of the English Program. I also really like working in the Campus Juan Gomez Millas because I studied here in 2012-2013 and have many good memories, but also because it is familiar to me.  Another reason that I like working in the University of Chile is the English Program. Although I have some criticisms of the program I really like how they encourage us to focus on communicational skills and not focus on grammar, which I honestly believe is the best way to learn a language: using it with or without errors because practice makes perfect. We also try to make the classes student-centered, which means that the student is the protagonist. Regarding the classes, as I mentioned in the ...

Blog 10: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi all!! Today is your last blog post! Congratulations you made it hahaha! So today you are going to talk about your experience learning English at university and the use of blogs. Please, please be honest so we can know how to improve as teachers and as an English Program. I have to say that I really enjoyed being your teacher this semester and I hope you enjoyed and learned a lot in my classes as much as I did. During the course, I tried to promote the use of English 100% of the time (even though many of you still refuse <_<) and I also made sure to practice the four skills: listening, writing, reading, and speaking. I can honestly say that many of you have improved since your first video :) Regard the content of the class, as you noticed, we always saw things that had important social or political content. This is because for me it is important to show students a different reality and hopefully so you can realize that changing reality is not only possible, but necess...
