The final blog

Hello everyone, today I’m going to write about the English language challenges. First of all I’m going to talk about my early experiences with the language. Then I am going to tell you which is my actual situation or condition and finally I am going to add my uses of the language and my future plans with it.

At school i loved English. It was one of my favorite subjects. My teacher was a kind person and she wanted that we learned in quality and in quantity, but my classmates did not try his best effort. That school experience was essential because based my affection for the English language.

One thing that i have to improve of my English is the way that I express myself. I have to admit that i would love to pronounce like a British person, but this is not my principal problem or objective. When I confront an interaction in English I suffer a mental blank: I don’t know what to say, I don’t know how to say it. All in despite of I learned that before. After that happens I think that the reason is my nervousness and that I don’t practice enough.

Outside the English class, i use English every day. I use it when I listen to my favorite music, when I watch videos about interesting topics and when I watch series and movies. Also, I had to use it to translate a paper like homework of Neurophysiology.

I have a dream: travel to Europe, especially to England and I necessarily should know how to express in English.

Sunny food

  Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food of all the times. In first place, I have to say that I’m not so good at making decisions. So, I’m going to pick three of the mouth-watering foods that exist to me: porotos granados, humitas y pastel de choclo. In my grandma’ house there is a vegetable garden where she grows beans, corn, basil, pumpkins, etc.   All these products are the basic substrates to make the marvelous home-cooked food. In this sense, I have to recognize that I eat my fist favorite food (porotos Granados) every weekend in summer. Also, in that season I enjoy the humitas frequently in despite of the difficulty of cooking this (and many flies fly around them).    When I changed my diet to the vegetarian one, I was afraid because that decision would generate that, for example, I couldn’t eat my third favorite food. But my grandma showed up like a super heroin and made a Pastel de choclo with a base of soy.   Unbelievably, the...

A selfish biography

Hello, i am Horacio Andrés Román Navarro i came from Curacaví, Santiago and i have lived there all my life: a "born and raised". I was born in November, therefore i am Scorpio (It was a premature birth, and unfortunately I could have been Sagittarius). I like to say that I am a timid person, however, your impression relating me it could be different. Finally, like a particularity, I am an only child. In my free time, I enjoy read, especially Hispano-American literature (my favourite author until now is José Donoso) and dramaturgy in his classic and emergent version. Also, I like to go to the theater and cinema, and then do critical texts about it (visit in web the page “Jóvenes Críticos GAM”). Besides, my favourites bands are Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura , which coincidently came from Glasgow, Scotland. 

A big decision

  First of all, I would like to mention that my vocational decision to enter to the University was too hard. I had so many interests (and I’m still having it). For that reason, I think that the system of postgraduate studies is made for me (an egocentric perspective) because I could choose different courses and subjects that would complement my base career. Also, I think that when I finish Psychology I would like to study other Program.   The variety is dangerous for me. When I think in my postgraduate studies I feel confused again. However, nowadays the interrelation between different areas of knowledge has good “status” (multidisciplinary). If I had to choose today, I would like to study courses like drama, literature or ecology. If you are wondering why I don’t consider subjects in a direct relation to the Psychology, I’m doing it too.     I think that the postgraduate studies are the best opportunity to travel to other places, because your academic training...
