English Language Challenges

I have had a good experience in learning English at university. In English 3 I have met teacher Beatriz, who was so kind as teacher Andrea, in English 4. Actually, I have not finished yet my English 4 course and it is because I tried to do in regular time, not in summer like now, but I had a teacher who dislikes me so I did not go to his classes. Sometimes I have a childish personality.


Anyway I have learned a lot of things in the courses. I think it is useful we use blogs to write what we think because is a form to evaluate our progress without the boring of what means a test or the nerves in an oral evaluation. But I can understand oral evaluations are necessary because we must learn not only to write but also to speak English. That is one of the things I need to improve because my pronunciation is not very good and I think this is because I never used to talk to someone in another language than Spanish. In fact, outside the class I do not use English but just to understand foreigner memes. Maybe go abroad could be the better way to improve the English speech because whether you do it or you are dead.


Have you thought to watch movies during the classes could be another alternative to progress in the ear? And what is about to listening songs? The multimedia format allows us to have many more possibilities to get used to native English speech, what is very different than our speech and it is one of the reasons it is hard for us to understand it.

    I think a good way to learn English is listen to songs or watch movies :)

My future job I must confess I do not like any job. But because maybe I should survive, I think a good job could be work as a book’s editor. Some years ago I had thought to work as one of these but I did not know nothing about what means book’s edition so I started to learn. Even, I get the equipment necessary to have a little –very little– editorial with its own ability to make a full book: a printing house.  That is the job I would like to continue doing, but there are some bad things in it. To edit a book is a job harder than I had imagined. It requires a lot of time to make all the steps necessaries just to have a digital book. It is a lonely and repetitive work, just in front of a computer. And then you must make the book, what means, again, waste time and, by other hand, to have money to buy materials. Do not even talk about the sales, because sometimes people become angry when you sell them a good quality book (I mean, in content and making) in his correct p...

Favorite food First, food is one of the greatest things that exist so I will enjoy writing this post. Second, I will be terribly hungry. Although I like food very much I do not know about culinary culture. For example, in international cuisine the only one I know is Peruvian food. That is because my father's wife is Peruvian and in her country she had a restaurant. As you can imagine, she cooks tasty dishes all days! When I go to their house I eat Carapulca, Papa a la Huancaína, Tamales, Ají de gallina... anything I want even to the point to be immobilized for have been eating so much. For that reason I always said Peruvian food is the best of the world; do not know another one is just a detail. My favorite national dish is Humitas and Porotos (‘con riendas’ and ‘con mazamorra’) and I try to eat them every time I can. But sadly, the most of the time the ingredients are avaible to be bought just in summer so you cannot eat those dishes whenever you want. I th...

I think I had written in other post I am not very interested in sociology. This means I do not remember the most of the subjects I have approved and, because of this reason, I do not know if as department we need to dedicate more hours to statistic or qualitative techniques, etc… However, I would like the career has a more philosophical orientation because I think sociologist we do not reflect sufficiently. For example, we are very skilled when we have to talk about the multiple ways of domination but we are not so sure when we must to say why this happen. Marx was a genius, nobody could reject that, but maybe he did not think enough this point. By the way, Benjamin did this and in his little –and unfinished – essay ‘Capitalism as a religion’ he tried to explain that a lot of sociological things have a non-sociological base. Other example, in his words: capitalism debt its success not just to the power of bourgeois and their ability to manipulate to State and to moral, but in ...
