My English Language Experience

The English class in the University is one of those classes that I do not want to have, I find that English is of the typical subjects "cuts heads".The majority of the students, it does not matter, the university career,  They are behind a year or more for English class and end up having only English to be able to graduate. Obviously, there are students who do well in English, either because they are studious and have good grades in all their classes or because they have an English base at a higher level than the rest, I mean an elite education, which has no comparison to the English they taught me at school. English, in my opinion, is an elitist class, is not for all the same, although the class is divided into several stages of learning, basic, intermediate and advanced, , If you had a bad base in the school, it is very difficult to learn another language in the university or to leave talking and writing as your partner who studies in an elite school, even if it is a secondary branch.

With respect to the classes, make videos and write a blog need time, I never wrote a blog or made a video in Spanish, which is my native language and I still find it very difficult, should not be so strict with the times, I can`t find the meaning, The important thing is to do it and not to do it fast by complying .

Now,  I use English to interpret some simple texts and translate them into Spanish and to understand some songs.

Changes to my study programme and university

It would be good to integrate or re-form the curriculum of visual arts, where people with Down Syndrome have participation . Since they have creativity, ability to interpret, sensitivity, understanding, are basic skills and requirements to form an artist . For me to have Down Syndrome is not an inability to be professional.

As for the installations, the university is not enabled for people with some type of disability, lack infrastructure with universal accessibility, that is to say to have spaces that can be accessible to all type of person without differentiating of his physical or mental capacities . For example, there have been cases of wheelchair students to which several students have to help him up the stairs.

In the last year, a new standard was implemented, in which students can not enter vehicles and park in the institution, only the officials can park. I do not agree, in previous years if you could park in the university, there were never any problems. Should provide facilities for students who live farther away or in rural areas and use this means of transport as we do not have Transantiago. The university should not limit the possibilities of transportation, because the space is there and now there are plenty of parking.

They also reduced some zones of green areas, to make more classrooms . The green areas were a meeting place, where we shared instances with other colleagues, now no one knows or shares, go directly to the class to do their thing and then leave. Sociavilize is very important for training people with values.

my next summer holidays

Holidays in San Andres Island, Colombia

Various friends have told me about the island of San Andrés in Colombia as a good destination to go on a trip , I want to go and see with my own eyes if everything they have told me is true.

I was researching some tips of places and activities to do or visit . Some people say that the island is small and runs in four days while other people say that eight days is the minimum to be able to do everything. I would not go for less since the trip is long. It seems to be something normal that visitors to the island, tour the island on motorcycle or golf carts that can be leased daily , something almost impossible to do here in Santiago.

The island is famous for its seas of seven colors and its marine fauna. I think there are activities that I would not miss and I would only live once in my life, being there in San Andres, for example swimming with manta rays, diving, snorkeling, feeding fish in their natural environment with shallow crystalline waters. The places to do these activities are the island the aquarium and Johny cay. They take you by boat and from there you can walk by the water among the goldfish and take pictures with the manta rays. It sounds so good and paradisiacal. 

Another activity that I like to do is parasailing looks like the photo . Definitely this island is a good choice for lovers of nature and sport like me.
