My experience writing blogs!

My experience writing blogs!

Hello everyone again, today we go with the post ten, which consists of telling my experience writing blogs. The truth is that I have always found English difficult, it's a real challenge to write in another language and on a little difficult topics, like thinking about the future, which is very ambiguous and difficult to think. Many times I had no creativity and it was complicated .

Anyway, I feel that it is a very good activity to practice writing, although in my case I always needed a lot of help. In general, I feel that I have improved my writing a bit, anyway I don't feel ready to write without the help of a dictionary, there are many words that I have not yet internalized and grammars rules that I still do not use well. I feel it was very funny, I was able to express what I wanted, put funny images and make this blog an entertaining space. 

I don't have clarity about what I would like to include in the future, but I would look for more friendly writing topics with what is happening now, so that they can be informed and at the same time practice. For the future I would like to expand the blog topics, I would like to talk about other things as well, such as about some hobby, some funny experience among others. 

Finally I appreciate the opportunity to live this experience as blogging, it has been useful in the field of learning in English and it has been fun this semester. bye!

About when I learned to drive...

  About when I learned to drive.

Hello again, I will talk about how and when I learned to drive. first I will tell you that my father is very machist, he never wanted to teach me to drive, instead my brother taught him to drive when he was 14 years old. For this reason, I decided to learn on my own. My brother helped me with the payment.

I always wanted to learn to drive, my limitation is that I was a bit afraid, but due to what people said, there is always talk about women driving badly. Wanted to know what it felt like, if it was difficult, to be able to be independent in the future and gain experience from a young age. I dared and I enrolled in a driving school in Maipú, in vacation of 2017.

I had a full month of practice 3 times a week, I had all the classes a round of 45 minutes with an instructor in the car, where he took me to more dangerous places and taught me techniques to improve. Sometimes I did it quite well, but sometimes I was very wrong. I remember once he took me to a street with a very steep slope and the challenge was that the car would not stop while climbing and braking. At the beginning it was difficult, but then I knew the technique, I also remember that my top of the foot hurt me a lot. 

Then I got my driver's license. It was a very good experience, though my dad does not lend me the car yet, but I can say that I know how to drive.

About a topic that I liked this semester

The Tutorial Action as a Training Experience for the Integral Development of Students.

Hello everyone, today I will talk about a CFG (general training course) that I had this semester, called "The Tutorial Action as a Training Experience for the Integral Development of Students". 

During the 5 years of the race we have to do 3 CFG. This semester I decided to do this CFG because the name caught my attention and I wanted to learn a little more about the TIP tutorials (pair of integral tutoring). 

First I will explain a little about what is a TIP tutoring. It's a program of the University of Chile, implemented since 2013, which has a main focus to accompany first-year students in the insertion to university life, since it is a big change to move from high school to university. This support goes both academically and strengthen an academic base and also improve social skills, as well as solve their doubts about university life. This program was implemented, since the University of Chile wanted to reach the entire Chilean population, for people who enter by special admission, so that everyone can study, enter this university and also stay, as it is more difficult.

In the CFG, I learned theoretical processes of how to be a good tutor, differences between a tutor, assistant and teacher. I learned about the limits one must have with students, about study skills, knowing the wide variety of students and taking into account sociocultural situations. We also talked about how to structure and plan a good tutoring.

Although it sounds boring, they were very didactic and entertaining classes. I thought there would be more theoretical and general classes, but this course surprised me, we analyzed the cases in groups, we talked and we shared a lot with people from other faculties and careers, it was a very enriching experience.

Finally, I can say that I liked it a lot, I would like to be a TIP tutor in the future and share my experience with more people.
