English in the university

Learn English in the university has been all a challenge for me, because in the school my teacher was very bad and we never learned nothing more that the use of “I do/ I don’t”, literally he teached the same every years. So I was so afraid to go to the English class in here, above all because with the test I stayed in the 3ed level, and honestly I never hoped that.

The experience has been good, because I been learn so much things that I had no idea and that I was do it wrong, but also has been a little stressful because are things that are so hard for me to remember, like the use of “it” or “have”. I hope that with the practice I could correct those things.

The blogs are a good tool for the learning, but sometimes are a little exhausting and some topics has been difficult to write about, but well, I guess it’s part of the class be challenged. Also, is so much better this way to evaluate than a test or an interrogation, allow you recive more feedback and practice more the English.

Honestly I like this language a lot, and I see every movie or serie in English and I always understand almost without the subtitles, only when are words that I don’t know I look at it, but in respect to "the talk", I don’t do it a lot, and I believe that’s my problem and my mistake, I should do it more and I think that I would be a good English talker, no perfect, but good.

The changes for the ICEI

The University of Chile is supposed is the best in the country, so when I started to study in here I had has many expectation, sadly I found with many things that I don’t like, and isn’t the place that I tought that it would be.

If I could make any change to the programme of journalism, I would say that it is very important to establish a paramaters in the classes with diferrent teachers, because happen a lot that with my Friends are in differents section and altough are the same course, we don’t learn the same things, so later, when we are in the next course, we all have differents knowledge and is very difficult match with the classmates.

About the old curriculum of journalism, wich is that I have, I think that is very poor in terms of learn about history or economy, fortunately for the next generations are a new curriculum wich included those topics in there classes, sadly for us that we have to stay with that empty.

On the other hand, the infrastructure of the Institute of comunication and image are so deplorable, maybe the classroom are acceptable, but the building is a joke, it’s imposible to think that it have the capacity for all the people who are enrolled in here. I believe that is urgent that the university give more money to our institute, because now they are distribuited the income in a ver uneven way. You also can see this in the resources that we have, the books or the cameras arent sufficient for all the students, that make that we spend a lot of extra money in those kind of things.

This are the things that I would like to change if I had the possibilty, I hope that one day it comes true.
