English Language Challenges

Hi, today I will tell you about my experience in the English course at the university, since I was a child I’ve taken English courses, it started in the kinder garden and continued when I was studying in school, but I don’t have very good courses, many times  the teachers made  classes repetitive and very basic, for this reason my father registered me in an institute so in this way I could learn more about this language. I was in the course for two or three years approximately and that time my English was good, but for things of life I was given the opportunity to learn German and I was losing more and more my English. I had to learn to separate both languages that often have similar words but with very different pronunciation.

When I knew that I would have English classes in the university I thought it was a very good idea because this way I could pick up English again and learn and review many words that  could have been forgotten. This language is fundamental to understand a lot of study material, I usually use it to read papers. As the year passed many times I was exhausted and have English don’t make things easier, but sometimes the classes served to me relax and have a nice time in classes. My blog experience I think it was good this was a new and entertaining way to learn new words and I get to know a little more my classmates.

I think that one of the things I should reinforce about my learning of English is pronunciation, unfortunately while I study at university I don’t have too much time, but  a good way to keep in touch with this language is to listen music in English, watch  movies with subtitles or try to read some books with to help of a dictionary, this activities I do  usually when I have free time.

Changes in faculty

Hi, in this opportunity I will talk about the university where I study and some changes that could be to improve. The truth is that since I was a little I wanted to study in the great university of Chile, but for things of life I met another university when I finished high school and it’s inevitable to make some comparisons.

In terms of infrastructure is very deficient compared to other universities, more spaces to study could be built (many times with my friends we don’t have where to study because the library is very small and pass full), also could be built casinos bigger than the one that exists now (it is important that they improve the quality of their meals and they lower the prices of lunches).Another important point of infrastructure are the pre-clinical , it’s necessary to construct more places of practice that reach for the students who have the faculty.

In general I really like the subjects of my career, it is very oriented to the odontology, in others faculties of odontology is only oriented to basic sciences but the one of us has a different approach witch is very good. Something that really bothers me are the methods of study that exist and the disorganization of the UTES, in this faculty there is not exist the respect for the students (many times we have controls, “certamenes” and practical work together in a single day and many times the teachers give us material of study the day before the test) it would be good to make a change in our faculty as to the organization of the UTES for improve the relationships between students and teachers and in this way to reduce a little the stress.

The workload of our career is high and the duration of this is too much 6 years for the title of dentist and after a few more years of study for the specialty, I think it is important fix the mesh to reduce years of study.

In terms of technology I believe that the faculty has good tools for students and teachers, they can research with microscopes of very good quality for example.

I believe that with some changes our faculty would have even more recognition than it has today.
