About my experience learning English at university I think that only four levels to learn the language it’s not enough.  As journalists we need to know how to speak and understand fluid English, to be prepared when we need to spoke with someone who is from another country, because it seems that English has positioned itself as the world’s language. About the use of the blogs I think it would be more useful if we discuss the topics in groups in contrast to writing by ourselves.

It’s a common thing that when we need to record something for a work or an extracurricular project is very difficult to get a studio because they are always busy. We also need more green areas and recreational places to be in, we pass almost all

Blog 8: Summer Vacation (Holidays) At the beginning of this year I had so many plans for my summer vacations, but now I decided to star my internship as a journalist, sadly I don’t have one yet, I’m still looking for the right place to do it, so I hope to find it soon because I’m running out of time! In December, after finishing my classes, I will travel to see my family in Rancagua. I’m going to spend Christmas and the New Year’s celebration with them and then I will come back to Santiago to star my internship. In Rancagua I want to sleep and watch all the series and anime that I can’t see right now. Also I will spend time with my cats (I have five cats in Rancagua and two here in Santiago), see my school’s friends and eat all the delicious food that my mom and dad cook for me and my siblings when we came to visit them. In despite that I can’t travel this summer for my internship, here in Santiago are always so many fun and interesting things to do: music and illustration f
