English Language Challenges

I learned a lot from the English courses in college.   Especially when the teacher speaks in English on common topics and involves the students. It was easy for me to learn grammar and basic communication.   It is difficult for me to learn to express myself orally, it is something that I must improve and for that I plan to listen to more podcasts in English and participate in conversations more actively.   I liked the entertaining and didactic activities, for example exposing on a topic that interests me.   Currently outside of English classes, I use the language to listen to podcasts or watch series and movies as well to read sometimes.

Changes in my Study program

  Hello everyone!   Today I will talk about Changes in my Architecture study program at the University of Chile.    From my experience in this career, the workload has always been a problem that must be changed in the program, especially in the first years when you have to make models and the number of courses we have, which are necessary, but there should be a way not to overload to the students.    On the other hand, I think that, if I could improve something about the university, it would be to improve the infrastructure of the faculty, it is undoubtedly recognized for its historical buildings, but we need more space, for work rooms, rest spaces and services which we do not yet have, such as infirmary. Several years ago, a competition was held for the new Marcoleta building that was on the side of the university (this is the winning project: http://www.fau.uchile.cl/noticias/88833/fau-elige-propuesta-arquitectonica-de-edificio-marcoleta ) and that was ne...

Favorite song

  Hello everyone!!   Today I will talk about a song that I like very much "Born to Die" written and performed by Lana del Rey is the main song of the album of the same name released in 2012. It was the first song I heard from Lana del Rey and I loved it, she says the story of a young and stormy love and how it triggers in her death, a bit tragic I know, but the video has a wonderful staging and it became my favorite song and my favorite artist for a long time.   This song reminds me of my adolescence and it is the first music that I remember as a taste of my own, I feel that in a certain way it helped me to define my own style and to differentiate myself from others. I still like it a lot and I listen to it from time to time. In 2013 I had the opportunity to go to a Lana del Rey concert here in Chile and it was great.   Born to Die, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and became the fifth best-selling album in 2012. In the following years, she participat...

My favorite series and movie

  Hi Everyone!   If I have to choose a favorite TV series, I would choose "Friends" a million times. It’s for me the best series in the world. I met this series thanks to my mom (she is also a fan) and I started watching it in Netflix from start to finish. It is about a group of six friends who live in New York during the 90's and share their lives, their joys, sadness and worries, the great thing about this TV series is that it criticizes the most transcendent facts of reality, but always from the comedy, so it is very entertaining to watch. I see this TV series whenever I can, even when I stayed up all night making models, I saw her and made my night much more enjoyable.   About the movies I must say that I change my mind of which one is my favorite, but I think that I am left with "pride and prejudice" is a love story starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. It is the adaptation of a great book by Jane Austen written in 1813 and I think that for its ti...

What country would I like to know

Image
  Hi everyone! When I think of a country that I would like to go to, it is difficult for me to decide why I would go to all, but one that in particular catches my attention is the UK specifically London because the previous semester I was very close to go,  while doing my exchange in Spain but because of the coronavirus, I couldn't, so I feel this still pending. I love the architecture and scenery of London, seeing places like Big Ben tower, London Eye and the places where Harry Potter was filmed.  It would be a dream for me to study there, maybe a postgraduate degree and thus live for a while there, but since it is such an expensive place I would settle for just going on vacation for a season and knowing everything I can, I hope to go soon.

Hi all!  Normally I use many web sites, for architecture, either to see project references, examples of architecture sheets, or simply to know the new news about my career. But the one that he used in a more usual way, it is ArchDaily that the most important architecture websites in the world have become one with the most updated content of the world architecture.  On this website https://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/ You can find information about architectural works, help forum for students and material available to use in your own projects. The reason why I think this is the best architectural website is because everything is very well organized, so you spend very little time finding what you need.  Surely my other colleagues in architecture thought the same of ArchDaily.

my favorite device

Hi all, This post is about my favorite device. I think I'm not a very technological person, in fact I find it difficult to understand the devices, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be my cell phone because I use it for almost everything (although I know it is not right) there is no day that does not go without it. I have my cell phone two years ago or so, after a rough patch, where every cell phone I had in a period of a year fell into the water, broke or was stolen. Even my mom gave me a nickname "the jackal of cell phones". So when they gave me this I thought it would be something like that, but no and it's not because I've become more careful, I think this is "the lucky phone" has survived a lot and I hope it continues to work a lot longer, although Don't be so fast and this one a little old.  I think I'm quite fond of him. If I had to imagine my life without it, everything would be very complicated because all my w...
