Post 10: English Language Challenges.


Hello, people of the world! This last week, I am going to write about English Language Challenges because we are to finally semester. It is a moment very important for his time, I need a little of relaxation, yes, is for the university. For this, I answer about the importance of English for the life, do you think the same? And how is your English level? And, I think about my experience in the university.

First, the subject of English at university – I had second, third and fourth level- in this space is the most important write and speak in English. For me, the subject is better when the teachers is cool and speak slow. In my three experiences with English subject, I like so much my teachers. Now, in relation to the last level (third and fourth), we use blog where the proposed is write about different topics. Oh! These words are a blog, that is, an example of the blog. In generally, I like write blogs but something I don’t like too much the topics like: “think in my future job” or “Postgraduate Studies".

In other aspect about English, I know that I need the aspects like listen more conversations in English, read -in English- more, I can read more paper, investigation, book and others. And, of course –the most difficult for me- speak English front persons and speak with other persons. For all, I have a plan for this…well, I don’t secure but I could in vacation or see the English like a subject funny and important for my life, if I want to travel to other country.

Post 9: Changes to my Study Programme


Hello, people of the world! This week, I am going to write about changes to my Study Programme. When I was a student at school, I never questioned the subjects and the way of teaching -the dominant one-, but now, with these three years in university, I have thought about all the possible ways that could have been improved and that could be better in both contexts.

To begin with, I believe that the Social Work program at the University of Chile has great potential to impact society and generate changes, but I feel that it is necessary to visualize the different subjects in practice, that is, how it develops inside the rooms of classes. 

In addition, I think that innovations should be made on the types of evaluations that prevail in the teaching mechanisms. In that sense, regarding the practices, the possible evaluations could be expanded, since my experience of this year in the project of migrant children, the notes were reduced only in a report, which made all the work done in the workshops of the children invisible.

Ah! I forgot, I feel that it is necessary to observe each context that each person has, well, that could be useful for all other career .. I do not know, mechanisms could be proposed that are effective in grouping the different contexts.

Mentioning other careers, I thought that circumstances are gaps to share on the academic level, I do not know, I think of the possible projects that can be done within the university, from different perspectives and thus, understand the social phenomenon in its complexity.

My first visit is to San Pedro de Atacama –two days-, one or two day in Uyuni, later three days in La Paz and the same days in Copacabana, and the place finally is Arica. I want a similar tour for Brazil –too much beaches- but, I will like travel with all my family.

One thing that forgets, it is that the travel for Bolivia is with my best friend and maybe, with others friends.

First of the talk about my favorite TV show, I need said that I don’t really watch TV because I prefer YouTube or Netflix. However, in every period of my life I like so much this series: SKAM (Norway), The Simpson, “Los 80´” and The Big Bang Theory. I think that the last TV show is my favorite series in this moment, I write about this in other blog with tittle “Someone I would like to meet".

This TV program is about eight friends: Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, Dr. Sheldon Cooper, Penny, Howard Wolowitz, Dr. Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali, Stuart Bloom, Dra. Amy Farrah Fowler, Dra. Bernadette Rostenkowski. They are very different and I like diversity topics but the usual subjects in TV program are science, relationship and friendship.

I don´t know why… I think that is the best series, but I know that my favorite character is “Raj” his character is very funny and sad. It is the strange friend of the team; I like him so much; I remember my life and especially, my difficulty speaking with the other persons. 
And finally, my favorite episode...I don´t know wich!! But the last episodes -season 11 and 12- are the best, more funny than before.

Post 6: Postgraduate Studies



Hello, people of the world! This week, I am going to write about a postgraduate course that would consider taking in the future. I think that it is a question very important for the future… Why think in the future when we live in the present? Do you like the idea about postgraduate studies? 

In my case, I don’t know what postgraduate courses prefer in specific but I know the subjects, I would like to study about: migration, system education, childhood or environmental. In contrast, I don’t like the subject like prison and health for the investigation maybe change my opinion.

The reasons to do the courses about the topics stipulated are for my practice –in this semester- in the schools of Santiago and the subjects are very similar and I considered that exist an interrelation between this options.

I believe that the place where I would like to study is Spain. I know this place for my teacher of practice, she said that Spain is very important in investigation of migration, children and education-I loved so much this themes-. Also, I want to go to Spain because I can study and I can travel for the others countries of Europa. However, I like so much study in Brazil, even I have family in this country but I don’t speak Portuguese.

For all, I need too much money for this decision I hope that my sister goes with me in this adventure, because she wants study your doctorate.  In addition, this situation is the best for my decision for go to Spain, because I know that missing my family.

Well, about me…I would like work with children, I think that this decision is for my practice of semester. In this occasion was in schools of the Region Metropolitan, where I have a beautiful experience with them. But, I don’t sure with the education space; I would like others space of my future job for example-second option- is work in an ONG.  

However, I would like investigative topics like: system education, migration, childhood, sustainability environmental and others more. But, I don’t like -in this moment, I can change of opinion- investigative about prison and health. Oh, I don’t like working in an office all the day.

Also, I would like travel a lot in my job…I don’t know, maybe work in other country of the world or trip constant to other country. Although, in the last time I think that study is very important for the change in the society. For this, I would like studying more, no too much but I try specialize in one of the topics mention.

Post 4: Someone I would like to meet.



Hello, persons in the world! This week, I am going to talk about “someone I would like to meet” Do you prefer to someone? Chilean or other nationality?
First, throughout of my life I meet different kinds of the people…for example: actors of Disney, actors of BKN, singers of my country or the others countries, yooutubers and vegan chef.

Imagen relacionadaBut right now, I would like meet the cast of The Big Bang Theory like: Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, Jonny Galecki, Melissa Rauch, Simon Herbelg, Mayim Bialik and Kunal Nayyar. But, I want to meet the two last characters more than the others. Why? Because, the actress is vegan…I like to talk with her about different food options, her experience being vegan and I would like to ask about her professional career as a doctor in neuroscience.  And the second actor is the best of the series; his character is very funny and sad… It is the strange friend of the team. I like him so much, I remember  my life and especially, my difficulty speaking with the other persons.

For this, I have to learn to speak in English to talk with them. But, it is very necessary because in other moments, I would have liked to meet Michel Foucault.

Post 1: Welcome!!

Hello, today I will speak about introducing myself and the subject of English in all my life -school and university-. These are two important topics: weaknesses and strengths. And finally, my expectations for this subject right now. First! my name is Camila Valdivia Gutierrez and I study Social Work at University of Chile. Currently, I am a student third year of the career.

The topic number one -weakness- are: my negative to learn English, my fear to speak with other persons, this is my ultimate complication because I can not answer my questions to the teachers and my friends. And, about the topic number two- strengths- are: I watch series in English, I can listen to other persons speak English slowly, not fast! It is complicated for me but I try. 

This year, I think that English is very important for my work life, for example most of the papers are written in English, not in Spanish! It is the most difficult for me, I don't  read too much, it is the truth. And, on the other hand, I wanna travel to places in the world. I know that the different countries speak in English. For all, I hope to speak English fluently and understand perfectly to other persons.

Post 10:Reflections on the semester



Another semester? Yes, it's amazing how time passes through our eyes, but how great to live with different eyes (perspectives)
To live another semetre in the university comes accompanied with other emotions, learning, experiences, difficulties among other qualities. How was the first semester? In this first part of the year, I have lived in the academic field a consecration of my passion for the career, which previously was not very safe.
Today, I can say that thanks to the new subjects and the beginning of my practice - I think that this moment was the most relevant - I will continue studying Social Work.
On the other hand, the semester in the aspect of social relationships, the people I have known and whom I have come back to know, make me feel a deep beauty for the hope of humanity, to change the small worlds.
One of the most entertaining things that I have lived, has been to venture into what I thought was distant, it was the best thing that I have lived. But also, I had to confront my constant fears of disappointment about my attitudes to connect with the different stories that are expressed in each person.
And to finish this boring reflection, I want to know your experiences, that's why I want to ask you how was your semester?

Post 9:How have you changed?



Recently, due to various events, I have recalled the days where I lived protected but subjected to a hegemonic cultural pattern ... at my school it was like living in a bubble. Did you feel that? Today, I do not want to feel that way and I know it will not happen, because I have changed.
Since I enter university, the changes in me are felt in every thought I question. In addition, that allowed me to see two opposite realities, from the countryside to the city, this has also been enriching for me.
I think it is a constant process of deconstruction of the discourses established by society.
Before in school there was a normalization of the ways of understanding the world ... I only had a moment where I remember that I questioned what I lived, but I feel that I was still anesthetized in that closed space, where we could not be free thinkers. time?
However, today my questions are much more than the answers and this moves me to continue existing, I want to continue to visualize the invisibility, continue building to deconstruct, continue to hesitate to doubt even more.
It is incredible the feeling of understanding that you are changing with every detail of the day, that the stories you will be forging will be multiple and varied, and that we are open to change and not closed as you try to believe.

Post 8: A Subject I Enjoyed This Semester.

Post 8: A Subject I Enjoyed This Semester.



Hello....other again! Today, I will talk about one of my subject of interest, which is Social Policies. What you do in classes? Well, we read papers about the topic in general -América Latina and especially Chile-.

Other thing, the contents of de subject are concepts like public policy, democracy, public participation, welfare system, social protection and social policies. The most important for learn is about affirm that although social protection in Chile has a universalist conception or design that responds to the concept of postconventional social citizenship, in its application tends to particularism and targeting. Why this is relevat? beacuse we have social policies in all the spaces...yes! In this moment you question, How?, easy...you study because have public polices about the system of education. For this, the social policies is power and social control with the poblation.

For the last point, I like this subject...is magic for see the world of different manner and for the life of people. Also, from of my carrer -Social Work- you can change a little the country or simply the contact with the diversity people, for this, enjoy the subject social policies in this semester.

Post 7: Career-related website.

 
Post 7: Career-related website.

At the moment, I am a student of Social Work for 3 years and I am doing a project on migration, 
specifically in migrant children, so I have reviewed a lot of bibliography on this. 
So, in that desperate search I found a website called U-Nomades (http://www.u-nomades.com/). 
Did you know about U-nomads? It is a magical place where you can find anything about migration, 
since it is a network of migration studies ... and best of all, it is a site that is coordinated by the University
of Chile and is associated with the professional practices of the university...one of those is mine.
In addition, it is a website that provides current research mostly in Chile, publications of the academy's 
professors, in addition to constantly promoting activities such as seminars, talks, workshops on migration 
in its various aspects. Important information, there is a state of the art about migration...it is magical.
And finally, the frequency with which I use this website is at least once a week, but there was a time 
where I checked it continuously.

Post 6: Free Topic: What are you passionate about?

Post 6: Free Topic: What are you passionate about?
 
My biggest passion is simply cooking. I love food, in all its flavors, colors, sizes, in all its cultural diversity. 
But it has to be an ovo-vegetarian version, that is, not meat, cheese, milk and other animal derivatives.
For that reason, I dared to cook the different curiosities of the countries, but I must say that Mexican food
fascinates me, guacamole is an insurmountable thing, I think that at least once a week I prepared that. 
A curious fact, is that within the fast food chain, I think the best option for a vegetarian or vegan is the 
Tommy Beans.

One thing that has surprised me to find this passion, is that it relaxes me and I think, that a connection 
is built with fruits, vegetables and whole foods ... I do not know, how to be aware of what I eat and love 
the cooking process, I feel that it becomes an adventure inventing preparations and combining flavors.
I have realized that cooking is not difficult, it is only daring to the unknown.

Post 5: My favorite picture

Post 5: My favorite picture 
 
This is my favorite photo. This is a sincere representation of me, I think it is the only photo where 
I like how I look, enjoying the ephemeral trip to the south, to visit my sister Francisca.
This photo was taken on July 13, 2016, on the bus from Villarica to Temuco, it was an unforeseen
photograph, I did not know that I was taking one, it also captures the green and green of the south.
I think the places I went through make me think that each one is a favorite place.
This image means a lot to me because I see it and it comes back to me, those emotions of seeing
beautiful places, magical experiences and unforgettable moments. This trip caused in me things that 
are quite defining in my life. Today I want to continue exploring corners of the country and why not, of 
the world ... in search of new adventures.

Free topic. “Conversations in the transport public”

Post 4: Free topic. “Conversations in the transport public”

The days I travel to the university - the trip lasts a lot...two and a half hours - I love to listen to 
the conversions of the people, some of them make my day, others provoke a question about life
and sometimes I feel that I have already I have lived. 
They are so curious the phrases that appear in the daily conversations of public transport, one of those 
could be: "I get off with the chair" in the bus or "you would have seen the flaites on the ground 
in the morning, you could tell they were going to the center to steal "in the subway. 
I feel that each of these conversions are permeated by a hegemonic power that controls us...
to the point, we do not realize that power, that is why it constantly questions what you
believe in...it resists.

My favorite piece of tech


Post 3: My favorite piece of tech 

I do not like technology, because I fear the surveillance that a cell phone, a computer, a tablet and all the other devices can have. However, if I had to choose my favorite piece of technology would be the electric oven. It is a small oven, with a single tray, but with great power. It was a gift that we made for the family, it was a very funny decision ... it was very cheap at the supermarket. I love the oven, because I can cook all the possible things, among them: baked potatoes, cookies, pizzas, I also love how toast leaves ... it's amazing. I love it because I can cook everything I like in a short time, it's efficient. I use it every day, I think 3 times a day. Therefore, my life without the electric oven would be a bit sad and less tasty, I would have to use more time to cook.

Why did I choose the  Social Work carrer? This question is very difficult, but I try to answer. When I was a child and also when I was young. My dream! I wanted to be teacher of all the subjects. But, in the last years, my sister Francisca talked about Social Work and the Improvement of the Poverty Foundation.
Why in the University of Chile? For the innovation in thinking Social Work. No more typology: case, community and family. Also, the carrer propose recognition and  redistribution as its central concepts of the social policies and the social program,
Besides, the topics are different, divers and various. For example, at this moment, I am studing migration children, is amazing...I like so much. And my friends, in the topics like: healthy, prison, education, and others important things.
Hello, my friends. My name is Camila María Valdivia Gutierrez. I have twenty years old. Yes! I am old woman. I live in Melipilla but in specify Puangue, this is a zone rural of Region Metropolitana, Chile. For this context, I like the trees, flowers, plants, the birds and others things. Maybe, for this I am vegetarian. Besides, I love the dogs and cats. In my house, I have fifteen dogs, five cats, three ducks, seven rabbit and six chicken.
In this moment, I study Social Work in the University of Chile, Campus Juan Gomez Millas. Before, studing in the College San Manuel, ubicated in Melipilla.

The food. This is my favorite topic in the world and I like eat, but option vegetarian. You are vegetarian or vegan? I never have vegetarian friends in the school or the university. Besides my father and mother I don´t like my lifestyle.
The reason because I am vegetarian is for the healthy and the animals, although the first is the most important for me.
Other things! For this decision, i now a like cook too much...is the best things in the world.
