ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENges


My experience learning English at University started when I gave a test to evaluate my English level at the beginnign of the first year of Public Administration. At first, I was scared because my English classes in school were very basic and i thought that university would have a extremely high level, but for my surprise it wasn't like I expected. 

I don't think that my English is good, but at least isn't that bad. I think that the use of blogs has helped me a lot to improve my English level since i started to write them. Now i know more words than at the beginning of the semester because i have used them in my blogs.

However, I still have to study more because I  want to keep improving my English. I think that the aspect I have to study the most is reading because I want to study a postgraduate and most of the books I'll have to study are written in English.

Outside the English class I try to improve my speaking talking with my sister who is studying to be an English teacher. I try to spend at least ten minutes per day by doing anything that involves the English language, mostly in videos and memes. Now that holidays are coming I'll start to read books in English to improve my reading because this year I had to read some texts that were wrote in English and I couldn't  understand them and I don't want to have the same problem next year.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME For this blog I will talk about some changes that my study programme should have.  When i entered University, I thought that it were going to prepare me on the areas I'd like to work or i had interest in, but for my surprise it didn't happened that way. As students we have to course some subjects wich we don't need to work on the areas we would like to. Not everyone want to dedicate to the academy and work on investigations, just like not everyone want to memorize old theories about Public Administration. I'd like to put more elective subjects in the curriculum, from the first year till the last one. About the faculty facilities and use of technology i think that a lot of thing need to be fixed. Our library isn't prepared to receive 700 students because is so small. We just have one printer and 3 microwaves so it's nearly impossible to have lunch in the schedule that corresponds

STUDYING PUBLIC MANAGEMENT I study Public Management in Universidad de Chile. I took this decision because i grew up in Iquique, watching how the politicians, or the people that work at the local goverment did't do almost anything about the maintenance of the city. My main motivation to study Public Management was learn how to do the job that the people that was supposedly working to make Iquique a greater city didn't do. I realized that i wanted to be a certified Public Manager because it was the only way to acquire the knowledge i needed to work on the local administration of my city. Before i entered to university, i didn't knew many thing about Public Management but that they work for the state. Universidad de Chile was my only option, because i was told by my teachers that it was the best university of the country, so i wanted the entered here. I considered enter to Universidad de Concepción, but the most similar career they had at that time was Political Scie...

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES I had never thougt to study a postgraduate before i entered the University because i saw it like something impossible to reach. But once i start my Major in Public Management i realized that the possibility wasn't as i expected to be.  Now that i know that study a postgraduate is something attainable i want to study a "Diplomado en Políticas de Vivienda y Ciudad: desafíos de la vivienda de interés social y de las políticas urbanas en Chile" At Universidad Católica de Chile. To be honest, i don't like this University that much but it is the only one that has this diplomat by now.  I want to study that postgraduate because when i was a kid a lived in a social housing called Laguna Verde 3 and i experienced all the flaws that the social housing in Chile have and i think that with people compromised with the common good it is possible to improve the quality of life of the people. I don't mind the way how will study it, b...
