Positive, negative and funny experiences about this world pandemic.

-

  

When the news about the coronavirus outbreak in China began, it immediately reminded me of when the AH1N1 virus arrived in Chile, in a less globalized world than today. I also remember when we had to wear masks to go to school, but at that time the sanitary measurements were not as severe as nowadays, I knew immediately that we should use them again.

The first months of confinement were very difficult, family relationships became tense and the problems regarding the distribution of housework became evident. Undoubtedly, many families have gone through a similar situation. This could be an opportunity to improve as a society, change our eating and health habits and our way of relating to society and the environment.

Not everything has been so bad, I have had a lot of time to play role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons with my friends, virtuality has helped a lot. I have also been able to organize my study times well, I have not had a major problem with that.

I would like certain hygiene habits to be maintained, such as frequent hand washing, it is a good measure of self-care whether we are in a pandemic or not. The truth is, I do not trust the measures taken by the Chilean government to handle the pandemic and I hold it responsible for every death due to COVID.

Post 2: The best Holidays

  My best vacations were in the summer of 2020 before the covid-19 pandemic began. I went to Iquique with my boyfriend and his family; his mother and his grandfather. We went for 5 days, we rented an apartment near the beach. We visited many places such as the Iquique naval combat museum, we took a boat ride, we went to the city of Pica, the nitrate town of Humberstone, we visited the geoglyphs, the beach, the casino, the waterfront fairs, the mall zofri and the desert. The beach and the waterfront were really beautiful, they had showers to wash after bathing on the beach and bathrooms in many parts, in addition to being an inclusive city with people with disabilities. It has been the best trip so far because it is the first time I have traveled a plane, I was really nervous and I was a little scared, but it happened to me when the plane took off, it was not really that terrible and it was very pleasant, the trip was short and not scary.           ...

  My favorite subject this semester is the course of Gender, Feminism and Violence. Dialogues from the social sciences. This bouquet consists of two parts, one exhibition by the teachers of the course, and another in which the contents seen in classes are dialogued or debated. Among the main contents of the course are: gender concepts, women's movements in Latin America and the world, feminist economics, feminist pedagogies, feminist epistemologies and intersectional feminist perspectives. In this field texts related to the contents seen in feminism-oriented classes are read. He has a final work that deals with a subject of choice, of which a video, poster or infographic must be made, in which we reflect on the subject. I really like this bouquet, because it is my first bouquet of feminism in college, I am very excited to learn the contents of the bouquet, the topic that interests me the most is feminist economics, and Latin American feminisms. It is a shame to have to take...

" ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES"

-
 My experience learning English at the university has been good, I have had good teachers who have taught me a lot. But I think they should pass grammar more carefully. Using blogs in English classes has helped me a lot to put writing and reading into practice. Personally, I have a hard time listening to English, many times it is because people speak very fast, it is not pronounced well or a specific accent is used and the words are pronounced differently. In the last time that I have been watching the Avatar series, it has helped me a lot to put into practice my auditory English, since they use simple dialogues, pronounce well and speak slowly. Series, movies and songs are a great way to put English into practice outside of university. I recommend it to you. I usually choose movies or series where they use simple language, and songs that are not very fast, where they pronounce well and are easily understood. As for pronunciation, it doesn't cost me much, however you can always imp...
