My experience learning english

Personally I think that English at the university compared to the school is not very different in the contents that are taught, but if it is costing me much more to learn it now because the pandemic I was almost two years very disconnected from English and their classes. I think I probably "lost the rhythm", since at school I was very good at speaking and writing in English, unlike now that I am a little slower to concretize sentences.


The use of blogs caught my attention at first because I found it to be a novel way to learn and apply our English. Also, now that we have been blogging for quite a while, I have realized that it has allowed me to learn a little more about the private lives of my classmates and my teacher.

I consider that my pronunciation is good or at least the words I want to communicate are understood, but I think my vocabulary is not very wide. Very often it happens to me that I don't know what certain words mean or it's hard for me to concretize some sentences because I don't know how to say a certain word. This is something I want to improve in order to become more fluent in the language.

Everyday I listen to music and my favorite songs are in English, so you could say that I use English on a daily basis. Maybe sometimes I don't know what I sing means, but the rhythm is good hahaha.

    vocabulary is something difficult to improve I guess, there are so many words that we can use depending on the context, or the same word changes its meaning if you put it in a different sentence, but I hope that you can practice this and improve!

    The same thing happened to me with the pandemic, much of what I knew before is now difficult, but I have remembered with blogs and classes.

Astronaut to architect

For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be an astronaut, I have no idea from what moment that profession crossed my mind but it never went away. As I grew up I was fascinated by movies about astronauts because it seemed extraordinary to me to be in space and to be able to "fly" (when I was little I thought they flew, later I realised it was because of gravity).  When I was older I was sure I would study Astronomy and then specialize to become an astronaut and work one day at NASA, this idea fascinated me completely and I would earn a lot of money. However, when I was months away from finishing school I realised that I loved astronomy, but from the outside and not enough to spend my whole life doing it. Then I rethought what I liked and what I wanted to be in life, that's when I came to the conclusion to study architecture and that's what I'm currently studying. I love this career and I definitely see myself making a living out of it. I still like astronom...

Italy

Before studying architecture I knew how famous this country was for its icons like the tower of pisa and the colosseum, but when I entered the university I realized the cultural and architectural richness of italy. Specifically I am interested in two cities in this country. In a class called Sustainable Urbanism the teacher was talking about Venice and its characteristics. Venice is a floating city that was created as a protection zone against possible Germanic attacks thanks to its geographical situation. Actually this city is a good example for sustainability because there are no cars inside the city and it can be travelled in non-polluting ways like walking, cycling, boating, etc. The other city that is of great interest to me is Rome. If we talk about architecture, this city is an icon in construction techniques and styles. I would like to visit heritage sites such as the Roman Colosseum, the Pantenon, etc. From the Italian culture I love its typical food. I am a big fan o...
