English Language Challenges

English has always been a barrier in my education, before I went super but at some point in my life I forgot everything I knew. So it has been hard for me to learn English both at school and at university. I was surprised when I knew that I had to take English at the ICEI and here we are at the last level that is taught.

In the ICEI it has been rare my stay with English, since I am from level 2 and I have seen the difficulty that each one has had. Blogs have been very useful since you have to occupy vocabulary and that's what has cost me the most. Besides, you talk about interesting topics that still help you.

My English is still very weak, I have to concentrate too much to understand, and the problem that deconcentrated me very easy. My big problem is my vocabulary, I'm forgotten from simple words by nervousness and in the end I do not know what to say. I have practiced a lot with series or videos in English, where I have understood what they say. The music has also helped me, the last weeks I've listened to a lot of music in English and I understand what they say, I've also improved my pronunciation.

My biggest problem is that I do not occupy much of the language outside of class, so it is only on Tuesday the day I practiced it and no other. Unless you listen to music in English, but that's not every day. Although I think English is only practical, because when you speak it out, then the words come out on their own.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

It is a very controversial issue for me, because this summer I did my professional practice and I was affected by the things I did not learn so well in university. I believe that the career of journalism in this university should change many things, from teachers, infrastructure and the same curriculum.


I think the duration of the career should be four years and not five, all because there are many branches where they teach you the same thing over and over again. There are many branches that really do not serve you for journalistic work, if to be a cultured person, but in strict rigor not for the exercise of the career it self.

There are many teachers who do not teach well and who do not have the social touch to teach, I mean they are bad pedagogues. The university also needs to review the teachers program, since they do not teach what they have to teach. It happened to me in practice where I never learned to be on television and I learned more in that place than in the University.

In infrastructure, it must improve a lot, since each year the number of enrollments increases and the place becomes small to receive so many people and the labor market is also low. There are more places to do television journalism, as well as implements to record and take pictures.

I am very critical of the university, because at the beginning of my practice I had a bad time because of knowledge I did not know. I feel that what is most needed is a branch of oral expression, but that it is mandatory, since it is a career that needs a lot of personality and there are very intelligent people who do not have it.

Ernesto Sabato

This Argentine writer struck me at the age of 16 when I had to read the book El Túnel. I speak of Ernesto Sábato, who lived 99 years! Considered as part of the triad of famous Argentine writers behind Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar, other greats of literature.

Sábato is primarily an essayist who ventured into the novel on three occasions, it should be noted that he is a qualified mathematician and then became interested in the area of the humanities.
The Tunnel was his great work, although now he would be in the controversy for the theme of the book, I see it as a warning book about the psychological problems that man can have and alert women to be careful if they have a relationship with a person of those characteristics.

In his essays he talks about life, God, society in such an eloquent way that makes me worthy to admire, in fact, I share a lot the vision of life that he has. He was also President of the Human Rights Commission once the Argentine dictatorship ended.

Current Issues.

It is really difficult to write without falling into somethin me too much every time I see it is about working seniors. On Saturday I had to see an old couple in the bus loaded with merchandise and it was so much their fatigue that they were sleeping during the journey. That scene broke my heart, because they worked all their lives and now they should rest, but the pensions are so low that they are forced to continue working to survive.

I believe that this topic is important, since we will all be old some day and if you ask me at that age I want to enjoy and rest, not be working because I do not have money. The quality of life of the elderly is bad and should change, it is not possible that a person who is already living his last moments in this world, can not enjoy. I am very sorry for this situation and I feel that we should change it now.

The next solution is to change our cultural chip, where we have a respect for the elderly and that he has to enjoy his retirement. Initially, the social security system has to change, since there are people who earn very little and with the high prices of this country it is impossible to live a month with that money.
