English language challenges

Before talk about the English language, I want to say that I never know how start a new post, I mean, like half the time I think in how start, or what I will write. I see my companions and they look so inspired, that gives me so much envy. 

Returning to the central theme, the experience learning English at the university has differences and similarities from school, because in the school we never wrote a blog (and it’s cool, but I “hate” it because I never feel inspired), nevertheless in my school we also had classes to interact with a classmate, or to listen to conversations in English, complete an English book, oral presentations, Key English Test (KET), Preliminary English Test (PET), among other things. Appear to be more similarities than differences.

What about the use of blogs?  As I said before, I think it is a wonderful experience, where I learn to improve my grammar and spelling, and not only that, it is an opportunity to express our thoughts, but I hate it (not really hate it) because I am a person who never feel inspired, or maybe isn’t I never feel inspired, maybe I am a person of few words.

The aspects of my English need to be improved are the fluidity, learn more scientific language and sharpen my ear. My plan to improve this things is… I haven’t plans, I mean now that you ask me, I could say that I need practice and watch all the series and movies in English. 

Outside the English class I use the English when I need to read something, when I see some series and, when I talk with my sister sometimes us “speak” in English. 

Changes to my study programme

In the programme of a career normally there are changes, I mean, it is assumed that with years of experience the university must improve programs, for improve the quality of professionals who graduate.

If you don’t know this year all the careers of the faculty (Chemical and pharmaceutical sciences) suffered a change in their curriculum, first the names of the subjects were changed for example the last year it was “Math 1” and now is called “Introduction to the calculation”. Second there are more subjects, this change is supposed to benefit us but, what about the workload?.

There are still many things to improve, like the infrastructure because there are many students for such a small space, and that is a big problem because in the lunch time there aren’t enough space for everybody, also when the weather is cold and it's raining the spaces with ceiling become small.

About the teaching methods  I think are great, most of the teachers are friendly, but something that I hate are the teaching materials, I mean it could be more complete.
