Blog 1: My autobiography

-

Hi everyone!


Welcome to your first English blog! For the first post, the subject is autobiography.

Here is my autobiography as an example:

I was born in Santiago, Chile. My mother is from New York and my father is from Chile (I only met him once when I was a baby). I did a DNA test to see my ancestry and on my mother's side I am of Lithuanian and Polish Jewish descent and on my father's side I am of Spanish, Mapuche, German, and Arab decent. My mom, brother, and I moved to New York when I was 2 years old and lived there for a year. We then moved to Boston, where I lived for many years. I studied in two primary schools, Williams Elementary School and Brown Middle School. I studied in Newton South High School for secondary education.

I studied Latin American Literature for 3 years at Eckerd College in Florida and 1 year in the School of Philosophy and Humanities at the University of Chile. After that, I studied at the British-Chilean Institute of Culture to become an English teacher.

I did my internship at the Colegio Latinoamericano de Integración and worked 3 years in the School of Economics and Business at the University Diego Portales. 

I started working at the University of Chile in 2016 and currently I love it!

I live with my friend Romina, who is like my sister and teenage daughter and my baby cat, Idania.

I love to read, listen to music, watch Netflix/Disney+, and hang out with friends. I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese, Italian, and currently I'm studying French :D

    Your experience on the DNA test is very interesting and important, I think that to understand us, knowing our history is very important.
    Thanks for sharing with us.
    Idania is really beautiful and I congratulate you for being a polyglot, it is a skill that I think is essential to meet others.

    Hello teacher!
    I find it very interesting that you are able to speak so many languages ​​and have lived abroad. When I am older and have more money, I would like to be able to travel to other countries and learn other languages.

Blog 5: Music

Hi everyone! Hope all is well. Today we are talking about music! My favorite singer of all time is Ariana Grande. She is a 27 year-old Pop/R&B singer and has a four-octave vocal range (similar to Mariah Carey who has a five octave-range!). She has six albums,  Yours Truly (2013), My Everything (2014), Dangerous Woman (2016), Sweetner (2018), Thank U, Next (2019, and Positions (2020).  I can't decide which is my favorite album, but sometimes I would say it's a tie between Yours Truly and Sweetner, Yours Truly because of it's throwback of 90's Pop/R&B and Sweetner for it's lyrical depth. To be honest, Dangerous Woman I love, but it is my least favorite album because the lyrics are not as deep compared to the others. Beside her music, I really like her as a person, she is a feminist and very progressive. She always speaks out about issues in the United States such as racism, homophobia, sexism, and gun violence.  Something that is really amazing about her is th...

Blog 6: Favorite Series/Movie

 Hi everyone :) We are going to talk about favorite series or movie. Well, for me it's very difficult to decide because I have a lot of favorite series and movies. But I will talk about a series that I like whose second season came out July 31st! It's called The Umbrella Academy! I really like this series because I love superhero comics and this series is precisely about that haha. The series is about a billionaire named Sir Reginald Hargreeves who adopts 7 children and gives them numbers from 1-7 instead of numbers. However, their robot-mother ends up naming all of them <3 The billionaire is very abusive towards them and trains them to fight crime because they all have different powers. The series stars Elliot Page and also one of my favorite singers, Mary J. Blige, plays one of the villains. I like most of the characters, so I can't decide who is my favorite. I won't give any spoilers, but the series is very entertaining, dark, and mysterious. If you haven't se...

Blog 2: Why did you choose this career?

  Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! Today we are going to talk about why you chose the career that you're studying right now. I remember when I was younger I wanted to be a rabbi XD. I don't know why I did, but then after a while I realized that I would like to teach languages since I loved learning them myself. After the student movement 2011, I was very sure that I wanted to be a teacher. So after studying Latin American Literature, I decided to study Teaching, but I didn't know if I wanted to teach Spanish Language or English as a second language. I talked to many people and decided that it would be best to go for the second option. So I studied in the program, Certification of English Teaching to Adults in the Institute of British-Chilean Culture in Santa Lucía.  I am very happy with the decision I made because I love teaching English and I love to teach about the history and cultures of the English-speaking world.   Now it's your turn: Write about: - y...
