English subject

Hello!

This time I’m going to tell you about my experience with English. Fortunately, I’ve always had a good relationship with this subject. I think it is mainly due to the fact that in my first school I had six hours of English a week. After that, when I was 14, I started to watch a lot of movies and series with english subtitles and I began to listen a lot of music in English.

Since then until now, that I’m at the university, my relationship with English have been getting really close. I have only taken this last level of English and I think that it is okay. I was kind of hoping that this course was going to be oriented to my career. So I got a little bit disappointed when I started with the classes. But on a more positive note, I think that the way of teaching this subject has been really dynamic. I’ve heard a lot of things about the blogs and how tedious they tend to be. I honestly don’t really mind doing them, but I think that we should assign a more time to the interaction part instead of this one. Also, I think that it would be great if the themes of the blogs are about things related to forestry. 

I feel that I’ve improved a little in my pronunciation or at least at the fluency, but it still needs some work. I think that the only way to change this is to get a little more confident or loose with the language and actually take the opportunity to talk to a native speaker. So I plan to start writing and communicating in English with any people that I have the chance to meet. Now thinking long term, I plan to do a trip to the UK in the near future and get to practice what I've learned through these years.

Outside of this class, I use English quite often. The big majority of the series and movies that I watch are in English, and I haven’t stopped listening to music in this language since I was a teenager. I don’t tend to write much in English though, but I enjoy listening and reading it.
