POST 10: English Language Challenges

Hey guys!!

Today I’ll talk about my English language challenges and also this is the last blog of the semester.

First of all, my experience learning English at the university was very funny and I really enjoy it. In English III we learned about the different stories of Caribbean countries for example Grenada and Haiti. I think it was a very good way to learn English. For English IV we apply the English for different topics and situation you can face in your daily life and this is very useful. Also the blogs are a very good tool for practice the writing because is a very difficult skill and the topics about them was very interesting.

I think I have difficulties for speak this language but not to understand it. For example, I can understand a conversation but being part it is difficult to me. And for develop this skill I need to listen more conversation, read more books in English, also watch TV Series in English could help me be better speaking English.

Finally, outside the English classes I practice a lot my English, because I follow youtubers from the United States and the United Kingdom and I watch them without subtitles and I could understand the majority of things they said. Also I watch TV series like Rick and Morty or How I met your mother without subtitles for learn and listen this language. Besides I watch the WWE in English for learn more vocabulary and enjoy a good show.

And that all folks my bloggers

Have a nice week and good luck with the finals test :D

See you soon

POST 9: Changes to my study programme

Hey guys

Today I will talk about changes that I want to do in my study programme.

First of all, I like a lot my actual study programme, I think we’ve a lot of interesting subjects for example geology, hidrology, climatology, etc, but the problem is with the elective subject, because we have a very short offer of physics subject, and for me is more interesting this type of subject.

My favorite subject is related with GIS, for example introduction to GIS, application in GIS or applied geomorphology because for me is easy to understand.

Nevertheless, I think that we don’t have a very useful subject, I don’t if have a name, but could be named “computing” and the contents of this subject would learn all about excel and the basic knowledgement of programming, for GIS know a little of programming is very useful because you can do your own toolbar and work more fast.

For me the workload is more light the first semester because we had mathematics and physics with contents very similar that I’ve in my school. But the load grows up every semester and now the workload is very heavy :(.

The length of study depends of the time you take for do your thesis, could be one semester, one year or more, is very relative.

Finally I’ll talk about the faculty facilities. First I think we need a better lab for geography because the current is very small. Second the free computer lab also is very small and in the final weeks of the semester is always full. And third we have professor that his way of teaching is obsolete.

Without anything else to add.

See you soon :)
