Post Eleven: About my experience learning english

-
Hi! This is the last post of my blog. In my opinion, the experience learning english at university was a great experience, in which I could learn to develop better in skills that are not my strength. I have always found difficult to speak in english since I am a shy person but I think I have improved these aspects in this semester.  I think that the use of blogs was an excellent experience because I was able to improve not only my written skills but also improve my general expression in english. The constant practice helped me a lot to have confidence in the way in which I express myself in this language, also by using websites like Linguee, I could correct and solve my doubts. For me the  aspects that I definitely I need to improved are related to my speaken skills. Although I believe that they improved remarkably, being much easier for me to speak fluently, I feel that it is still difficult for me to express certain ideas. One of my biggest problem is that sometimes the way I spea

Post Ten: Study programme

-
Hi readers! Today I will write about some changes that could I like to made in my career: physical anthropology. One of the first aspects that I would like to change is relative to the curriculum map because the way that was done is very biologist. I think that the way to approve this situation is update the contents of the courses with an emphasys in social theories. The second change is about workload because it is a problem that undermines our emotional stability and physical health. In my career are semesters with heavy workload, in which students don´t sleep or eat well, so it reduces their academic performance. It can be changed with a reform of the curriculum map. Another aspect  to improve is related with the faculty facilities. The library and the study room don´t have the capacity for the proportion of students that already study in this faculty. Additionally, it would be great if can be restore the green spaces, it is neccesary not only for the recreative activities that

Post Nine: Summer Plans

-
Hi readers! Today I want to write about my summer plans. Honestly, I haven´t thought so much about this because the last months I have been so busy but there is one thing that I am sure: I would like to travel somewhere. One place I would like to return next summer is Caburga lake in the ninth region of Chile. If I can travel this summer I would like to go with my family and boyfriend because for many year we haven´t been able to travel together. Although, likely my brother and father will not like to go anywhere. They only like to stay in home and watch tv. Given the beautiful nature of this place, I would like to do different activities beside rest and sleep. For example, I would like to go trekking in the National Park Huerquehue or go to swimming in some lake. Other activity that I would like to repit the next summer is go kayaking, this is a sport that really need comunication and coordination with a partner. I also have plans that aren´t so fun. This summer I need to work in m

Post Eight: Animals

Hi readers! The topic I will write today is about animals. First I want to say that I have never had animals as pets, it is very sad because I really want to adopt a cat. I think cats are amazing animals, they are very eccentric but also so lovely. I like their strange behavior because it made them unique. I don´t like exotic pets because the people that buy this kind of animals are promoting illegal trading and animal mistreatment. Most important than a selfish desire, it will be support actions and organizations which target is the protection of animals species in their natural environment. I  have many favorite animals, I really like chilean native fauna like pudú, mountain monkey and, obviously, the differents kind of wild cats.  I like them because they are beautiful creatures and are important keys in their ecosystem stability. I don´t like zoos, it is cruel put animals in cages, I only support them when animals can´t be re-inserted in their native habitat. Whe I was little

Post Seven: Postgraduate studies

-
Hi readers! Today I want to write about a postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future. This course will be related to forensic archaeology and the reasons I want to take it are that I think it could help me a lot to complement my undergraduate studies. In this sense, it would be very useful to be able to develop a better fieldwork and to understand different factors that affect my object of study. I think that a subject that I really would like to study is archaeological fieldwork techniques because I could learn important skills that I currently do not know. I have always thought that I want to study abroad because this postgraduate course doesn't exist in Chile. A country in which this course is available is in the United States, so I really need to improve my english skills. I would like to study a part-time course because in this way I can do other activities such as working or having free time to do things that I like. I don´t like a full distance learning,

Post Six: Future job

-
Hello readers! The topic of this post is about a job that I would like to do in the future. I have always thought that the perfect kind of job for me is to work as forensic anthropologist at Servicio Médico Legal. In this job, I would have to analyze human remains that are linked to legal medical cases. Something I like about this job is that it has administrative duties but also outdoors activities. Like I write before, in this job you will need to do field visits to investigate the different cases. I really love travel to different locations, so this job would be perfect for me. I do not know how much salary I would get from this job but I hope it is enough to have an adequate lifestyle. The last year I decided that I want to do a postgrade in USA. The postgrade going to be about forensic anthropology. I think this will help me to find better job opportunities in the future and it also satisfies my desire to learn more about this discipline. Another option that I have considered

Hello! Today I want to write about my favorite type of music. Since I was a child there has been one type of music that I love: rock. This is an inheritance from my parents, always in my house has been listened rock music. I remember that my mom always liked to watch the movie Pink Floyd: The Wall. At that time, this movie was something scary to me but I remember that I really like the music of Pink Floyd. Now I like different kinds of music but I think the most frequently I listen are rock and pop music. My favorite band is Nine Inch Nails. This an north american industrial band founded in 1988. I started to listen since 2010 because the TV program 7mo Vicio played a live performance of this band. When I listened their famous albums like The Fragile, The Downward Spiral or Year Zero I instant love their music. Something that I like are their angry songs, it can help me to calm down and relax. This year a lot of bands that I like came to my country and I had the pleasure to attended
