Inglés 4 - Valentina Ortiz

Hello! This time I will talk about the changes I would like to make in my curriculum. Regarding the subjects in general I think they are well organized and the content is adequate, but I would like some teachers to be more demanding. In the ICEI there are rules, but many teachers do not enforce the rules and that usually generates a climate of irresponsibility. I believe that responsibility is a very important skill that we must develop in our careers because it is fundamental especially in an area with a reduced work field such as journalism. The duration of my career seems appropriate and the academic load does not seem excessive, but adequate. But I think that one problem with the academic load is that teachers do not agree to organize evaluations and for this reason many evaluations often come together. The ICEI buildings I do not like because they have very few spaces to share outside of classes. I think it is essential to create a university community and without spaces to meet i...

Learning English at university has been a good experience because I have been able to practice my spoken English. At school the teachers only taught me to read and write in English, mainly grammar, but not the spoken area. Even so, I think I still need to make a lot of progress in this area. I was in the English III and English IV courses and I think that English III helped me to review things that I had already learned in school and English IV to learn new things. I really liked writing the blogs because the topics that the teacher gave us were entertaining.  I also think that the dynamics of commenting on the blogs of our classmates has been very good because it is very fun to read stories from others. This exercise makes the class very dynamic. The dynamics in which we practice for the oral test have also been entertaining. We have discussed issues of money, savings and cards and interesting conversations have emerged. It was also very good when we all did survey...

During this summer vacation I will not be able to travel anywhere because I will carry out my professional practice. It could be said that I will actually travel but at the bottom of my career as a journalist, hahaha :(. I am really sad about this situation because I really wanted to travel to Puerto Natales to visit my sister who lives there and who I have not seen since the middle of this year. But hey, there will be time for that trip, maybe in the winter holidays.  Anyway, I will do my practice on Canal 13 Cable and this has me excited. It's a TV channel that I like a lot because of its cultural content. I hope to learn from this experience and be an entertaining summer anyway. In any case, after work I intend to do entertaining things with my friends or my family, even if it is here in Santiago or maybe go to the beaches of the litoral central for the weekend. Another good thing that the practice brings me is that they will pay me a little money so I inte...
