Blog Session 1 - Sample Post

My name is Gabriel. I'm 27 years-old and live in Quinta Normal in Santiago. I was born on September 15, 1990. I'm attending the third year of Social Work career. It isn't my first career: before I studied Law and Literature for a couple of years. Before, I studied my elementary studies in a school called Salvador Sanfuentes, and after that, when I was 12, I studied my secundary studies in the Instituto Nacional.

Beyond the academic, I would like to mention two activities that I really love: music, and sports. About music, I play many instruments, but I don't think i'm very talented. Sometimes, I sing too. Anyway, music is the most important activity that am doing in this time. And about football, every weeks I practice two or three days. I have made many friends practicing this sport. I would like to play it all the life. We're a five-member family: my parents Juan and Raquel, my brother Juan Pablo and his daughter Martina, and I. My brother is three years older than me.

Are you into social media??

Well, it’s something that can’t be ignored: social networks are so entertaining that they often consume people's lives. I have mixed opinions about social networks. A part of me hates them. I find them strange (truly, the people are strange…) I hate that people expose their lives so easily in them. For example, I always find on facebook the time a person got up, what breakfast he had, the friends he called, the places he visited, the clothes he wore, etc. And even worse is instagram. I hate that weird thing about "my story". It was one of the reasons that made me close instagram. However, I find that social networks are useful for communicating quickly. That's why my favorite social network is whatssap. I find that it’s easy to use and very useful network. It’s an instant chat that allows to communicate with people from all the world at any time, and where if people are intelligent, they can occupy with discretion. I like facebook, but I also like ...

MY FUTURE JOB

Imagen
I’m studying to become a social worker. It has been a long, difficult road; full of difficulties but also very enriching. I have learnt many lessons for my life. However, I must be honest. I can’t imagine myself working on something that I don’t feel any passion. Whatever I do, it has to have music and sports in it. I have thought about this a couple of times, and it really makes me feel like being at a crossroads. Why am I studying Social Work then? I decided to study social work because I wanted to transform society. It is a truly beautiful career; I can make a living, and help other people too. I believe I will be able to achieve it. So in order to make it possible, generating a different worldview is necessary. And the best thing about this, is that Social Work allows me to integrate other disciplines and knowledge to enrich the tasks of the profession (especially sports and music). Going to the subject of my future work, I would like to work on someth...

ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Imagen
The truth is that before starting English 4 I was a little scared. I'm a little insecure and I thought it could be a bad experience. However, throughout the semester I enjoyed many entertaining topics. I've always thought that learning English in a classroom, practicing only one day a week, and trying to talk to people who don’t really speak English (except the Professor and some classmates), isn’t a very good idea. I hope someday to live in a country where I have to speak English obligatorily. The classes of this course have been really very entertaining, and I have learned a lot. Anyway, I can’t speak fluently. I think writing is one of the skills I use best, but speaking English costs me a lot. And listening to English ..... uffff is the hardest thing for me. My only way to try to improve this is to watch many movies in English and listen to a lot of music in English too, trying to pay attention to the words, pronunciation, and ideas . I had to take...
