See you... English!




Hello classmates!
I’m a bit sad,today is the last post in my English blog. Although Semester is near to end and the summer is coming!!! (wiiii...Yes, in Santiago summer is awful!)
I have to tell you that I love English, but I have lost my practice. A few years ago, I speak English more fluent; today I speak and write English like caveman. It sounds funny, but is real.
In my opinion, this subject in the university is not so useful, because I think that we learn more speaking with native speakers in other context. I had poor aspirations respect to English at the university, all of my classmates of psychology hate that subject, but teacher make the difference, because she is always care to send us vocabulary and is a very nice person. We love her!!!
I think about the use blog that it could be more interactive, with free issues. I go to tell you my reasons…some topics are bored.
 I have difficulties written in English, because I don’t use grammar rules in the right way and I don’t have much vocabulary. I think that I need to relearn to write in English, and practice my writing. I know, if I practice my English, I would write more word in blog. But I don’t have time
I always have interest in English; I think it is important if you want to travel around the world like me.
I always use English, all above when I see series in internet such as “How I meet your mother” or “The Big Bang Theory”, but I'm jump to the adventure to see them without subtitles jet. Also, I love listen music in English, and look for the lyric’s meanings in Spanish. Sometimes, the meanings are wrong and I try to translate in my own way. Maybe I invent new songs, musicians: Don’t kill me please!!!

 

That’s all!!! Bye!!!

Money... dirty money!




I have never liked to talk about money. Money is not important to me, I don’t mean that I never need money, but I think that in times like these, there is an excessive preoccupation about it. I have never understood why some people long for to have a lot of money or constantly compete with others for theirs recent material acquisitions, such as the car of the year or a new model of cellphone. Yes, money buys things, but doesn’t buy happiness and love.

I spend my money in food mainly, because I come from a place far away from Santiago and my parents send me money to survive there. When I have money, I like to buy clothes too. I buy expensive clothes or shoes, but just if is necessary and I have save money before. Generally buy clothes in second hand store or look for sales or the cheapest price.  I love to go to shopping, but I don’t buy the first thing that I like, I prefer to compare prices and look at others shops.
I think that I had been good at managing my budget, because I always have save money. I don’t like ask my love ones or friends for money. Indeed, when I work at retail shop a few years ago I save my salary every month, because I wanted to buy my own bicycle, I don’t buy it yet, but my savings are intact (jajaja!).  
I couldn't imagine me like a millionaire person, but I will try. If I would have a lot of money, I think that I would invest it in real states and share my fortune with my family and helping people around the world; making something useful for them.
