ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Hello everyone,

I know these days you are all very busy with many things to do in order to finish the semester successfully. I hope you pass all the subjects!

Today´s task is to write about your experience writing blogs and learnign English at the university.

I  hope  this activity has been a rewarding experience to all of you and also that you have been noticed that you are very creative people!!! We have been sharing our personal stories regarding to different topics and that has been awesome because I have never shared those thoughts and /or experiences with my students.

So, I would like to know your reflections about this activity that we, as teachers, hope has been a real help for your learning process.

Have a nice end of semester!

•  What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university? 
• What about the use of blogs?
• What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this?

  Blog  post 5- A photograph I like

I love photographs because they are visual images of powerful moments and each one is able to tell a story. Probably you have heard the old saying, “ A picture is worth a thousand words”. I think it is true. Moments happen all the time and they can happen fast, so capturing them is an amazing way to enjoy and re-lived some of the memories at anytime.

This photograph was taken by one of  my students at FAU in 2014. It shows me with

my students from Perú. They were from different cities (Cuzco, Lima, Tacna, Arequipa, etc) and they were doing a Master at Universidad de Chile. They really enjoyed the experience of living and studying in Chile.

Studying English was a challenging task for them, that is why this photograph is important and emotional because we were celebrating they had concluded successfully the course (after a 1-year period)!

Write about a photograph you like.

Say:

Who took it

What it shows

When it was taken

Why you like it

Upload it too

Write at least 150 words.

Comment on your teacher`s blog and the blogs of 3 of your classmates'.

GOOD LUCK!

 Blog Session 4- My future job      

Hello everyone!

"Job" is a word that all of us almost always bear in mind (or need to?) why?... it is not necessary to take a long time to answer that simple question: we need to work for a living! and we will probably apply for a job that will offer good working conditions and a good salary but...a big "but" ...what about if you get a job that you do not enjoy or you do not like doing?

First, I think there is a difference between the word "job" and "career". Essentially, a job means time and money, a career is a concept that involves you and what you expect to be doing throughout  your working life! That is why this period of preparation is so important for you and it has been for all of us.

Second, in my opinion it is not an easy task to think about a  future job but it is a good opportunity to reflect and dream a little bit.

Now, reflect  about your future job and say:

What the job is,

Why you would like to do this job,,

What qualities or skills you would need to do this job,

What type of reward or job satisfaction you would get from doing this job.

Mention anything else you think is important.
