English Language Challenges

Hi!

In my last blog I´m going to talk about English language challenges. To be honest, I have never enjoyed English because sometimes I forget basic patterns of grammar, or I don't know many words in English and I'm ashamed to mispronounce the words.

In fact, as I told you once in class, when I went to the States my little brother had to communicate with people because I didn't want to do it. Now I'm really regret it! Because being there could be a great opportunity to improve my English. Actually, I think the best way to learn English is by communicating with people who know the language. 


However, outside of English class I didn't use to use English. I think with this class I have learned to lose the fear of speaking in English. Definitely, I think “being forced” to speak English in class helps me to improve my pronunciation, use of grammar and vocabulary. Consequently, I feel more prepared to go to the States than the first time.

To sump up, I believe the best way to learn English is to speak the language. Therefore, I think the use of blogs isn´t as useful as the synchronous classes. Due to having more time, we tend to literally translate the sentences and not think in English.

Even though I hate English, I think I should learn it because it´s necessary in a globalized world. 

Don't you think it?

    Yes, the best way to learn is to communicate with people who are good at it.

Climate Change

Hi! Today I´m going to talk about climate change. First of all, I think it´s necessary define the concept to think about possible solutions. The climate change is an alteration in the planet´s climate attributed to HUMAN ACTIVITY. In short, human activity it´s the main reason for climate change.  Even so, I believe “human activity” is more related to INDUSTRIAL activity than to our daily activities. In fact, I think taking short showers, composting with organic waste aren´t useful to reverse the big crisis. What we can do is definitely negligible compared to all the damage caused by the industry. Because of that, I believe industry and politicians are the main actors who have to face the situation. On the one hand, industry has to reduce the pollution it causes. In the other hand, politicians should create mechanisms that regulate the levels of pollution and protect the environment. However, I think while the industry and politicians don´t face the situation, the only thing we can ...

A country I'd like to visit

Imagen
Since I was a child I enjoy visiting another places. Fortunately I have had the opportunity to visit another countries, to meet their people and to visit the most iconic places. But for now, I prefer visit my own country. If I HAD to visit another country, I would like to go to The United States because I want to know different perspectives of the “American dream”. The United States is a country located in North of America -but they aren´t the only Americans as they think-, this country is the cradle of capitalism and there is an important waste and shopping culture.  I would like to know the culture, the poverty, the daily life of the people, and to learn the language. To achieve that I would like to live and work there, but only for a few months. After knowing the “American dream” -or the nightmare-,  even though it sounds inconsistent, I would like to visit Disney and Universal parks, my guilty pleasure. Take care!

Time travel to the future

Imagen
Hello! To what time in the future would I like to travel? It´s a difficult question because I don´t like to think about the future. Actually, I prefer to face situations day by day. If I had to choose a time to travel in the future when I was a child, I would have chosen the day of my death. At that time, I would have liked to see the moment of my death because I wanted to be prepared for it. Then, I saw a movie called “Bedtime Stories” and the desire of travel to that moment disappeared! Because it happened to the main character and that only made the situation worse. At this moment I wouldn't like to travel to the future because it can influence the decisions I will make. For example, I imagine that there will be a voice in my mind telling me "Catalina don't do this because you already saw what is going to happen". Unfortunately, this thought would only make me anxious and not enjoy the present.  I think as we have signs that the future isn´t promising due to lack o...
