PET Practice!

Hi Bloggers!

Today, I am going to talk about the PET (practical activities). The subject of English is very difficult for me, but the parts of “listening” is more difficult than reading comprehension. The reading in English about the places was easier and entertaining for me and the exercises seemed to me hard when I didn’t know a word.

The place that I would like to visit is the Taj Mahal in India. It is a beautiful and wonderful place because it has a very romantic story. Also, I would like to know the Indian Culture and its gastronomy that it is very different to Chile. I hope that I can travel to India in the future.

English is very useful today because it is the universal language, if you want to travel to a country with a different language, you must know how to speak English. It is very important to communicate with people from other countries with different language. 

My Experience as a Blogger

Hi Dear Friends!

Today in my last post, I'm going to talk about my experience as a blogger in the Inglish Class and I would like to write in the future.

This experience was very rewarding and satisfying for me, because it helped me to improve my English, for example, now I can do more complicated sentences, also I learned new words. It was a very entertaining and interesting  experience because I knew the life and tastes of my classmates.

The English complicates and confuses me, because it is a very difficult and very different from the Spanish language, also in my school my teacher wasn't very good teaching English.

In the future, I would travel to another country that uses English as the language, because I think I  would learn much faster, in that place I would be forced to learn to understand people. (Ahahah).

I would like more oral English classes and it have more dialogues, also I would like hear more "listening", for better oral English .

I would like to write about the types of music (I love music), talk about the pets and the family

Finally , I hope that you have an excellent holidays.

Regards!

How green I am!

Hello Dear Friends!

Today, I am going to talk about How green I am!.I've been recycling and my family has joined me in this, I like doing this because I feel that I help the world with my small contribution. We bring together the cartons and give it, a person passing through the street, also we bought drinks and juices in glass packaging and we recycle papers. I haven't joined environmental organizations because I don't have much time owing to studies and in my free time I visit my grandparents.

Another thingt that I do to help the environment are: Not to use my car, I always travel by bike when I'm on the countryside, I don't like driving in car there. Also, here in Santiago I travel by subway and walk when I go to buy something because with this, I reduce my carbon footprint. Besides, I have reduced the carbon footprint when: I use less paper, when I buy national food and when I use my green bag to buy.

I think to plant trees, plants and flowers helps the environment. When I'm on the countryside with my grandmother, we planted many flowers (she loves it) and in Santiago in my patio, I have a tree apricot, aloe vera and many flowers of all sizes.

Finally, I think that Santiago should have more green and recreation areas in all sectors, so that people on weekends go to the park, so they can walk their dogs. Also, I think that we need more recycling sites and a program on how to take care our environment. People are very dirty.

PET (Preliminary English Test) Practice >> Session 1

In the PET, the skill that is most difficult for me is: “Listening” because I don’t understand when speaking English.

Well, the easiest part for me was the “Vocabulary”, because the sentences were too short and easy to understand. I'm better at writing than the oral part.

The most difficult task for me was the part of listening, because I'm not very good in English in the oral part and find it hard to understand certain words.

My favorite Subject this Semester

Hi again, Dear Friends!

This week, I am going to talk about my favorite subject this semester. For me,  this year has been very difficult because last year I fail one subject and now, I haven’t had many classes this semester.  I have only five subjects, I like only one, because others bored me. The subject that I like is DESTREZAS II, I love it, because it is a subject that has to do with my career as a Dentist.

I have many  teachers in DESTREZAS II, but the headman of the UTE is the Dra. Gloria Xaus, and the responsible of my group in the practical classes is Joaquin Vivanco, I love how he taught and how much I've learned with him. He is a great teacher.

I love this subject, because it has a theoretical and practical part. I like the practical part, because the classes are very entertaining and I have to use dental instruments and my hands. It is a very active subject.

During this semester, I have learned many things about my career as a dentist. I have learned to manipulate the instruments dentists. Also, I have learned to do more cautious, delicate and keep calm when things don’t go as I want.  This subject has approached  me a lot of my career. Finally, I hope that in the future, I have subjects like Destrezas II, because it is very entertaining. Also, I hope that while I proceed through the semester, the classes are related to my career.

My Plans in the Summer.

Hi My Dear Friends!

Today, I am going to talk about my plans in the summer.

It seems that this summer I have to be in Santiago, because I have a brother of a month called Facundo and I have to take care when my mom is working. Also, I have to take care of my sister of five years old when she isn't at school.

My sister from eighth of December have holidays and I from sixteen of the same month. Therefore, I'm thinking of traveling with my sister to the countryside to my grandparents house, but first I have to talk to my mom.

My sister loves to travel there because it's quiet and you can do many activities like, swimming in the pool, ride bikes, go to the hill and play with my cousins and I can run, go dancing Zumba and I can do relaxation exercises. Also, for me it is easier to take care of my sister in the field because there, she's entertaining all day, while in Santiago she is bored in the summer because it's hot and we have to spend all day inside the house.

I also like to visit the countryside, because the weekends with my grandparents and my family always go to Pichilemu.

In Santiago are only my father, my mother and my brothers, we are very lonely, so I like to spend the summer with my family.

Finally, I hope to go to the countryside .
