English Language Challenges

-


For being honest, I didn't expect this career would be so different like the image I use to have about anthropology. Speaking about my experience this year and a half I can say that things went well, but not only for the career but by my own merits to seek the approach of Asian studies and international relations that I have developed even so I must say that none of this could have done without the support that many people of this faculty have given me, there are very valuable people here for me.


What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university? What about the use of blogs?


About learn English, I feel that I need a greater challenge to learn better because all things I want to do in the future are related with know English and have good skills speaking and writing in English. I like the blogs, but I feel like I use to need more feedback about what I did well and what I did bad. My biggest need is to learn more English grammar and pronunciation because I need more English communication than writing, but likewise, these two are very important


I think I need to do more expositions in English and learn how to express myself. because I fail a little in the pronunciation but the evil that persecutes me for a long time is not knowing how to correctly conjugate the sentences in the past and apply them in different verb tenses. I think that at the higher level I would need more reinforcement in the area of ​​grammar and many more practical exercises written and spoken


Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?


I am seriously thinking about getting into a conversational course where I can sit down in a cafe and talk with people to learn how they express themselves and at the same time express myself better. These days I tried to do things like watch videos in English and I'm thinking in use all my social networks in English.


I also want to meet more people who speak only English to communicate with them in a more natural and fluid way

Changes to anthropology

I liked too much this topic because i always thought that this career needs many changes. My main problem with this career is that I feel it is very anachronistic and has a little updated approach to current anthropology. Compared with other universities that have this career I think that this one has too much focus on indigenous issues. And yes, its okay have that focus in part, because the development of the anthropology was in context of indigenous investigation, and yes we have the case of the mapuche and all the investigation problems linked with their culture, but such a specific approach can generate a closure with anthropology in other parts of the world. As Miguel de Unamuno said "Fascism is cured by reading and xenophobia is removed traveling" maybe we need to focus our career in that, in the diversity of human groups but linked directly with them ... I know, it is difficult to make a whole generation travel around the world to meet people from other cultures, ...

When i was a kid, i use to claimed to my parents why i couldn't go to a concert like my others classmates, its something interesting to think today because was my female classmates who went to concerts like Hanna Montana or Jonas Brothers and my male classmates received videogames and cellphones. It was something very ridiculous as they separated by gender the gifts that they gave to my classmates, however I wanted to go to a concert with great enthusiasm. I resigned myself to thinking that i could never go to a concert, but the 2014 my brother bought the more cheaper tickets to lollapalooza 2015 because my father gave us that gift for our birthdays. I was very excited because it wasn't only the first concert of my life, but it would be in many concerts in two days.  That's why I mentally prepare myself to endure the heat and prepare a map to go see all the artists I wanted. I could see Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Molotov, Bastille, Foster the people, and my favorite Robert P...

What is your opinion about the immigration situation in Chile? For me, the current immigration is a mixture of elements that converged in what is now lived in Chile, and reflects two faces of globalization that are unexpected and uncomfortable. On the one hand, the climate destruction and corruption that hampered Haiti, and on the other, the exacerbation of mercantile capitalism and the economic growth that Chile has with growing inequality. These two elements when coming together generate problems that the population can not overcome at all, mainly in terms of how to relate to poverty and people with different language and skin color. The government's responses to immigration are inhumane, but they also reflect the fear of the other strangers we have not seen for so long from this terrestrial island What is your opinion about tattoos? For me tattoos are like characteristic signs of people, reflect their personality, tastes and experiences, some can also be directed to be mu...
