English Pre-Intermediate Section 2

Hi everyone, I hope you are well :) Today I am going to talk about my experience learning english in the university. In general, I think that my experience learning english at university was good. I was in three english courses because in the initial diagnostic I qualified for the level 2 english course. In all the courses I had kind teachers who were concerned about the importance of practicing the oral component in learning english. Even so, I think that the oral practice of english should be higher (more class minutes) in level 2 and 3 courses. In this way, my experience learning english at school was quite bad because the oral component was practically not (or very little) worked. About blogs, I think they are a good tool to develop the writing component, since the possibility to write about anything (framed in a topic, of course), makes the exercise more stimulating and active .  I think the oral component is one of the aspects of my English that I need to improv...

Hi everyone, I hope you are well :) Today I am going to talk about a postgraduate course that I would consider taking in the future. I would like to do a postgraduate degree in urban and housing studies. My interest in the urban studies lie in converge theoretical perspectives and analytical tools of social history, anthropology, sociology, urban geography, architecture and urban planning, together with studies focused on urban policies. In this sense, urban studies have been configured as a multidisciplinary research field. I would like to study in Chile or abroad. In the case of studying in Chile, I would like to do a magister at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urban Studies of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile or, specifically, at the Institute of Urban and Territorial Studies. In the case of studying abroad, I would like to do a magister at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). Googling I found a Master in Urban and Housing Studies in Latin America taught ...

Hi everybody :) Today Im going to talk about my future job. I am majoring in sociology and near to do my thesis. I would like my thesis to be about the housing deficit in some communes of Santiago. My interest in this area of study (urban sociology) and work comes from my personal experience as an urbanite. I have always lived in Santiago, first in San Bernardo, then in El Bosque, and now in San Miguel. Although these communes are different from each other, they are all peripheral to the center of santiago, although San Miguel is closer than the others. The way in which the prevailing centralism at a regional level is also expressed within cities and their communes has always caught my attention. In this sense, I consider that the planification of the city of Santiago is deliberately segregatory, discriminatory (for people with different abilities, for example), patriarchal, not environmentally sustainable, and inefficient in terms of transportation and connectivity. The conseque...
