Blog 1: My autobiography

Hi everyone!

Welcome to your first English blog! For the first post, the subject is autobiography.

Here is my autobiography as an example:

I was born in Santiago, Chile. My mother is from New York and my father is from Chile (I only met him once when I was a baby). I did a DNA test to see my ancestry and on my mother's side I am of Lithuanian, Polish, and Ukranian Jewish descent and on my father's side I am of Spanish, Mapuche, and Arab decent. My mom, brother, and I moved to New York when I was 2 years old and lived there for a year. We then moved to Boston, where I lived for many years. I studied in two primary schools, Williams Elementary School and Brown Middle School. I studied in Newton South High School for secondary education.

I studied Latin American Literature for 3 years at Eckerd College in Florida and 1 year in the School of Philosophy and Humanities at the University of Chile. After that, I studied at the British-Chilean Institute of Culture to become an English teacher.

I did my internship at the Colegio Latinoamericano de Integración and worked 3 years in the School of Economics and Business at the University Diego Portales. 

I started working at the University of Chile in 2016 and currently I love it!

I love to read, listen to music, watch Netflix, and hang out with friends.

Blog 6: Favorite Movie

Imagen
Hi everyone, so today the class decided to talk about their favorite movie. Well, I would have to say that right now my favorite movie is Rogue One. Rogue One is part of the Star Stars franchise and it tells the story of Jyn Erso and Captain Cassian Andor who steal the plans of the Death Star to help the Rebel Alliance defeat the Empire. My favorite character is a tie between Jyn Erso (but I think I like her more) and Cassian Andor. I love Jyn because she is very brave and even though at first she didn't want to participate in the rebellion she ends up saying the best line of the film "rebellions are built on hope <3" and she leads the attack on the military base. Cassian Andor I like because of his complexity and his loyality to the cause. He is very loyal and believes a lot in the rebel cause even though he admits to doing things he was not proud of. The first time I saw the film was in December 2016 in the theatre with my friend, Romi. We saw it in the Estación Ce...

Blog 5: A photograph you like

Imagen
Hi everyone! I hope you are well Today we're going to talk about a photo that you like. A friend of mine took this picture of me and my cat last week.  This is my cat/daughter, Idania <3. I named her Idania for Idania Fernandez, a revolutionary from Nicaragua. I was reading and Idania decided to join me and so I told my friend to come  take a picture of us because we look so adorable hahahaha. Idania is my first pet and she is really special to me. She is 1 year and 6 months old, but she is still a baby, but now she is huge. She weighs almost 5 kilos! (and I pick her up all the time and I can feel those 5 kilos) She is great company and is a very sweet cat. She is like a baby, in fact I only call her Idania when she's bad, usually I call her "guagua" because she cries for me to pick her up in my arms. I talk to her in Spanish and English just like my mom did to me when I was younger. Now it's your turn to share! Write about your photograph: Who took it...

Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

Imagen
Hi everyone, Today you're going to talk about a subject you enjoyed studying this semester. A subject I enjoyed a lot in university was "Caribbean Film and Literature" I thought it was an amazing course and I learned a lot. We watched films made by Caribbean film makers and read essays, novels, and short stories by different Caribbean writers. I got very inspired by that class as many of you may have realized. But for example, writers like Jamaica Kincaid, Christian Campbell, and Olive Senior I use in many of my courses. I like these writers for different and various reasons. I like Kincaid because she writes well and always writes about controversial topics. I like Jamaica Kincaid because she always talks about anti-imperialism and anti-colonialism. Here is a picture of Kincaid and my favorite book of hers: Write about your favorite subject this term. Among others, include: > Name > Describe what you do in classes > Mention the main contents you have see...
