About English Language

First, I have to say that English language has been ever very hard  for me, since high school, and I don’t understand why is so difficult for me. I have receive a lot of tips and I have followed every one of them, well, almost, I listen music in English; I listen movies in English, but is really difficult to me. Especially, talk.

Well, after being boring I must say that I liked this subject, but like ever, even though the teacher is so patient and nice, I’m still afraid of (ha-ha). But in reality, the dynamics are good, and the use of blog has been useful to learn something more, and develop what I know.

The hardest post on the blog to me was the post about to do a summary about an article of internet, because the first time I choose an article very hard to translate, and long, but after I found another article quite easier to translate (but I lose a lot of time in the first article).

I need to improve of my English, mainly, to talk. This is my frail side. And of course, I need to know much more vocabulary, and improve my hear to listen British English. Really, there are many things that I need to improve with my English.

Outside the English class, that I said previously, I listen music in English, much music in English, and I see films in English. But sincerely, I don´t use much the English in my everyday life (I know that I must practice more, mostly because is hard to me L )

Well, this is my experience with the English language! 

This year...

This topic make me laugh, because we always doing this counts to the end of the year.  And this topic remember me that we are soon of the end of the year, there is very bit time!
Well, this year for me has been good and bad, I think that the thing that more marks it, was the change of house that I lived recently. Since May we started –with my family- to make the procedure for the change of house, and newly we can concretize it, the last week. It was hardly, a slow process, and very tedious. But the important is that we did it! We realized! And it makes me very, very happy. Today I am living near of the University, here in Ñuñoa.

About the other things that I lived this year, my oldest brother was very sick to beginning of the year, in the summer. That was a moment very sad for my family, but today my brother is feeling good, and healthy. And this makes us happy, to all my family.

Respect to the academic, until this moment I don’t have problems with my subjects, well maybe with English (haha), but one subjects makes me hard life: Sociological Theory IV. Yes, with this subjects I suffer many times, but I know that I will achieve, and I will overcome this tedious subjects (It´s not that the subjects be bad, yet the evaluations!)

And this, of course that I lived much another things, thing more or less important, and interesting, but, coming back to the start to this blog, this year will end in few time, and it coming the worse in the academics: the final works, tests, and all this in a bit time! Too stressful. But well, after will come the best! 

Two thing that I love to do

This time I will talk about some of the things I usually do in my free time, my life does not really have much of spectacular , but I still will comment on it ( haha ) , two of the things I enjoy most is paint and take pictures. Painting is a taste I grabbed when I was in high school , because in my last two years of school, I had the fortune to have 6 hours a week of art, was the best, and there I discovered painting , acrylics , brushes , and the magic to capture something with your hands .

 I`ve always like to draw, since I was a kid but I love more paiting. Of course I'm not always inspired and I don't have enough time to paint as I would like. It's a shame. Another thing I quite like is photography, both appreciate and take pictures. There is a photographer in a country of the East that I don't remerber called Demiralay. He photograph women, and his photos are excellent, I enjoy a lot the material he shared on his Facbook page and sometimes I take his pictures as inspiration to make my own pictures or painting. Taking pictures, I definitely not as good as I would like , but it's a fun hobby. I aften walk with my telephone taking photos of  everyday life, of the people people , aften when they don`t notice. And when I can , I'm with my  camera, capturing good times.

Anyway, those are two things I enjoy doing, and I like to have all my time to carry them out .

Here I share some photos of the photographer that I mentioned.

About sexism...

The article is about the everyday sexism and gives five reasons why men should not shout at women in the street, and reads as follows :

Everyday Sexism Project has received over the past week , a large number of case stories of women who have been harassed on the street. Harassment beyond a mere whistle , where are shown the extent you can have a ceremony like this : cases where women called slut , or cases where even pregnant women have been harassed, or that older men touched, or men who ask them chased off our bodies .

For this, men that scream to women are asked to understand that a shout on the street- and sometime more than that- is not nice for women, its harassment!

And the 5 reasons are: Ruins nice things, does not work (never has served to conquer a woman ) , your logic is flawed (did not understand why a woman refuses ? , And angry because they can not harass ) it is something from another time (perhaps once worked to prove as a good male , but no longer ) , and karma ( carefully so you can get to be harassing a woman on the street) .

Ps: And this, believe it or not , is something beyond borders , because here in Chile is the same. Pathetic.

With Bon Jovi

My last interesting thing that I was doing was to go to the Bon Jovi concert. I  was very expectant of the concert, very excited.

A few months, I proposed to my best friend, Tomás, that if Bon Jovi coming to Chile, at any time, we had to go to see him, as is possible, and a shortly after that , we knew that he would come to Chile in september.  Personally, I was very happy with this new, because I did not hope that Bon Jovi came that soon. 

First, the concert would be on september 13rd, but the drummer of the band became ill. So, finally, the concert was the last tuesday (september, 24th) and I enjoyed tremendously to listen to them.   They  satisfy all my expectations. Really, my friend and I , we had a lot of fun in the concert. 

Although Bon Jovi did not sing all the their known songs, I hoped to hear songs like "Bed of Roses", "Thank you for loving me", "Never say goodbye", "This ain't a love song". But well, the songs that their sang was spectacular.  

I have a really good time in that concert. I would go again. 

                                                           

Bali...

Since I saw in a movie (Eat, Pray and Love) I want to visit Bali. I do not know what thing catch me about Bali, but I love this place even without know it. 

To see the Bali's landscapes in the movie, and photograph that I looking for before in internet, to provoke in me a desire of stay there, in this magic place. 

Bali is an island of Indonesia, with 3 million of population. Majority of the Bali's people practice  Hinduism. 

Bali have a tropical climate, with beautiful landscapes, with full tropical vegetation  like palm tree, and rice field, with wonderful beaches and a architecture magnify and peculiar. It's a place perfect to relaxing, and  for check new things, and taste exotic things too. 

I would like to do in Bali is to relax me, enjoy, know their culture, taste their food, and principally go for a walk, long walk in Bali. 

I do not if I would like to live there, but I would like to stay there enough time. Can be more than a  year, I would be happy. 

My ideal job

Me as a sociologist I want to work  in a center of gender study, and also, to make a workshop with people that are interested in this subjects, with intentions to make a change in their life, and to escape to the oppression that produce the systems over their bodies and their relationship with the other and with the word. 

But the other side, I would like to work as painter, because the paint inspire passion in me. Unfortunately, I can´t carry out this passion for lack of  time, and sometimes not much inspiration. 

Come back to the first job (and surely this job will be the I to draw up)  I need to know much more  about the gender in general: theory and experiences, to produce useful knowledge  for the sociology and principally for the people and the society.

This theme interest me because personals experiences of the life take me to implicate in this. And I really like it.  

I hope that this kind of job it's not difficult to find, but I don´t know how difficult can be find it.
