My last blog: English language challenges


In this last blog of the year I am sure of saying that I have enjoyed very much studying English at University. Classes have been really interesting, there is always something new to learn about the language and the world around us. Blogs and listenings were challenging, especially the second one because of the accents of those who spoke in them.
At beginning of the year, when I found out that we were going to write in a blog, I thought that it would be tedious to do in classes. I had a real surprise when I started to write them, because instead of be bored while I wrote them, they became one of my favorite parts of the entire course. I even missed blogs when we didn’t write them.
Is not just that blogs are entertaining to do, but writing them is an incredible way to learn to be more fluent at it and improve your English by knowing other expressions to describe the same thing.
Even if my English has improved a lot to how it used to be at first. I believe that I must keep practicing my writing, but mostly I need to improve the way I express ideas and my pronunciation with other English speakers.
Knowing English is an important part of most people in earth I think. Not just to talk to another person who doesn’t speak in your own language, but to do most of thing in your day to day. Find information, listen to music and follow instructions are examples of how important is English in everyone’s life.
For what I mainly use English in my life is to find information that I could use in my University assignments, to read books that have not been publish in Spanish yet, to understand lyrics of the music I listen and to read translated mangas.
This is my last blog, so I have to say good bye. :D

My future job





In a future maybe I will work before taking a major, this is because I believe that earn experience is an important issue to understand all the perspectives of work where I’m going to develop as a professional, following the path that I want for my career.

I would like to have a job that will be related to help people to maintain their lands, and for this I will have to build my career around Agroforestry. This is a strategy of soil use; that combines forest plantations, cattle and crops, to protect and improve degraded soils at the same time that there are benefits to the owners of the lands.

To choose a job I have some aspects that I consider before accepting an offer. One of them is where is located the place where I am going to work, because if the job it is located in an inaccessible place I really doubt that I will agree to work there.

The second aspect that I will have in mind is perhaps an important one, how much my salary will be. I believe this is an essential thing to take a job, because if I feel that the working hours are not consistent to the salary they offer I will reject it. Or maybe if I like what they are offering me in everything else, but the salary is low and I couldn’t make ends meet, I will say no to it. I don’t know if there is fine what am I saying but it is my opinion about it.

In the interviews, if I’ll be asked about my weaknesses I would have to say that I’m not very good working to other people, and my strengths are that I’m organized,  I can easily catch errors and find solutions for them.
