Blog 2: Why did you choose this career?

-

Hi everyone!


I hope you are all doing well! Today we are going to talk about why you chose the career that you're studying right now.

I remember when I was younger I wanted to be a rabbi XD. I don't know why I did, but then after a while I realized that I would like to teach languages since I loved learning them myself. After the student movement 2011, I was very sure that I wanted to be a teacher. So after studying Latin American Literature, I decided to study Teaching, but I didn't know if I wanted to teach Spanish Language or English as a second language. I talked to many people and decided that it would be best to go for the second option.

So I studied in the program, Certification of English Teaching to Adults in the Institute of British-Chilean Culture in Santa Lucía. 

I am very happy with the decision I made because I love teaching English and I love to teach about the history and cultures of the English-speaking world.  






Now it's your turn:


Write about:

- your dream jobs when you were a child
- other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university
- what made you decide in the end
- your experience at university until now
- the kind of job you would like to have

    Hi teacher! I'm curious, you used to live in the USA, didn't you know English already or the English program allows you to be a teacher? Greetings :)

    Pretty interesting that u wanted to be a rabbi, i once learned about them But i didn't really pay attention to the culture about it, so i don't know how is it like being a rabbi But i think it should be very stressful and peaceful at the same time, interesting ngl.

Blog 3: My favorite piece of technology

 Hey everyone!  Today we are talking about technology :) I think my favorite piece of technology is my cellphone. I use it for many things such as listening to music, talking to friends and loved ones, checking social media, taking pictures, sending emails, and even buying things online. I never use it at work unless it is to check things related to work.  I am always listening to music whether  I'm walking or taking the bus or the metro. It entertains me during long and tedious trips. I also use it when I go out on long walks throughout the city (I've walked to the Parque Bicentenario from Santiago) At home, I use it to read because it keeps me focused, which I know sounds weird because music usually distracts people. Something very weird is that I try to listen to a full album when I go on long trips or when I read. I love using my cellphone and I recommend using it, but not too much so you do not get addicted! Now it's your turn! Write about your favorite piece of...

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you. Today, we are going to talk about a career related website OR an expert in your field of study. I can't think of one specific website, so I will talk about a couple I use. One is the New Yorker Magazine, here is where I take short-stories that I use for class. Some of my favorite English-language writers have written in this magazine like Jamaica Kincaid, Junot Díaz, and Edwidge Danticat. The only problem about the website is that after like 6 monthly visits they want to charge you :( Another website I like is The Nation Magazine, it is a progressive American magazine where you can get good news from. I have used articles from this magazine in previous years, but sometimes the articles are really long for classes Lastly, there is Zinn Education Project, Howard Zinn is the author of the book, "People's History of the United States" which is exactly what the name says hahahaha. The website is good because it has different histor...
