ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

My experience with English has been complicated, because the field is difficult for me to understand since at school I had a bad teaching in this subject and my teachers did not have a good vocation to teach, which made the learning process more complicated.

In the university it is difficult to learn English because I have many subjects, therefore there is little time to study the subject, the schedule does not favor learning, because it is too late and ends up limiting our university activities, however the methodology of Teaching is good and English teachers have a good vocation to do the subject and are interested in teaching their knowledge.

the use of blogs has allowed me to learn new words and improve my writing, I still have much to improve but I notice changes from the beginning of English level one and now that I am in level four.

I believe that learning English is very important especially because I intend to travel a lot in the future, after finishing my degree I would like to take English workshops to be able to speak more fluently and communicate without problems with another person in this language.

I use the language very little outside the university because I do not have the confidence to speak this language with other people, but I would like to improve this in some future.

during the race I would have liked to have the possibility of choosing other languages, I think that the subject of English should be optional, so that one as a student can choose their own knowledge, depending on their interests.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

The faculty of visual arts has many tools of work but several of them are in poor condition, as these tools are used to begin to break down therefore makes learning at the university is slow.

the infrastructure, besides being precarious, also has work tools that do not allow the works to be carried out with a good resolution.In the workshops that we have in the university we do not have enough security measures to protect us from any type of risk with a toxic material therefore it does not have the minimum conditions to protect our well-being. There is no good ventilation and the tools they are damaged so they are dangerous for students.

I feel that it is necessary to change the mesh of subjects because it is not the correct one, it does not guide the student to generate an investigation that allows to realize their concerns and projects.

teachers should enter by competition, to have good teachers because teachers who are teaching does not have a good vocation, therefore the learning of some disciplines is precarious, as in ceramics and painting.

I would like to change the infrastructure of the university, also have tools in good condition, to be in a space with basic working conditions.

I would also like the university to provide tools to face the work area, after completing the visual arts career most students once graduated are not prepared to find a job.

 

PERSONAL OPINIONS

What is your opinion about recycling?
Recycling seems to me to be a very important issue at present and that we are faced with a very serious problem like the pollution of our planet.

In Chile, more than 10 million garbage are produced monthly, deposited in more than 50 thousand legal and clandestine garbage dumps, which directly affect our quality of life, because our natural resources are used disproportionately, as raw materials that we then discard and we throw them turning them into useless materials and foci of infection.






Recycling helps us to reduce the waste we discard, so instead of generating more trash, we can use it to generate something that is of our use.I think the best motivation for recycling begins personally.

Recycling seems to me to be a very important issue at present and that we are faced with a very serious problem like the pollution of our planet.

If we all collaborate, it will be an easier way to carry out this activity, besides recycling can help us a bit economically since we have deposits where aluminum plastics (cans), cardboard and others are bought. Some organizations buy materials for recycling, in this term not only helps the environment as it also helps generations that will come many years ahead if not economically.


What is your opinion about the Chilean tradition called ‘mechoneo’?

Many are in favor of considering it a fun activity and where they know and share with colleagues and friends they will have during the next years of University. Others consider it a humiliating rite, where there is no respect and only seeks to abuse others.

I think it stops being fun when the "victim mechon" is suffering or is very afraid. So I'm against it, I do not think it's an activity that everyone enjoys. I find that painting, scratching or breaking people's clothing seems to me a prehistoric attitude.

What is your opinion about owning an exotic pet?

Although it seems innocent, the truth is that buying and selling exotic animals is a form of animal abuse. The above, since life, respect and integrity, are conditions that any living being should have insured. Exotic animals are forcibly removed from their natural habitat, transported in terrible conditions to other countries, do not receive veterinary attention, proper nutrition or even basic hygiene conditions. This practice transgresses all the rights of a sentient being.
