English Language Challenges

-
Imagen
English classes gave me a break from the stress that the other subjects caused, however, it was a bit disappointing. I thought it was going to be more advanced or be more related to scientific content. In my opinion, there should be English classes in higher semesters, but technical. To learn specific vocabulary that probably would help us to read papers or also to be able to communicate with other professionals from the same area, who don’t speak Spanish. Personally I think, the use of blogs is a great method to practice grammar by writing about topics that interest us and to encourage the ability to argue about an idea or opinion. My two weaknesses in English are the variety of vocabulary and the embarrassment to speak. I can improve the first thing by watching movies in English with subtitles in this language and when I don't understand a word I write it down and then look it up in the dictionary. The second is a bit more difficult because when I speak I feel that it won’t sound...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

-
Imagen
Hello! I’m very happy that I made the decision to study at this university and also because I had the opportunity to go in person for almost a full year. I truly hope we can come back soon!  However, there are some things that I would like to change in favour of making it more pleasant. Firstly, I would reduce the length of studies, because in my opinion a lot of time is wasted in subjects that perhaps aren’t so necessary instead of using that time to delving into more specific topics or doing doctorates, as European countries do. It would be a good idea if the university could improve the places of collective study or if it was possible to increase them. Due to people find it more beneficial to study in groups in order to learn more. But to be able to do this, large tables with enough chairs are needed, nevertheless, there are very few places with these characteristics concerning the number of students. Last but not least it’s very necessary to have our canteen, as most of the stu...

A MUSIC ARTIST

-
Imagen
I couldn't imagine a world without music, I love almost all styles of music and many artists or musical bands. But Imagine Dragons is my favourite band without a doubt. It is an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada.  For me, the messages in their lyrics teach us a lot about life and to always accept ourselves for who we are. Another reason why I like them isn't directly related to their music. Rather because they carry out charities for children with cancer and also to LGBTQ+ organizations.  Some of their most famous songs are for example “Radioactive”, “Demons” and “Thunder”. However, my favourites are the unknown ones such as “Birds”, “Bleeding Out” and “Monster”. You HAVE TO listen to them, they are incredible! I have had the opportunity to go to two of their concerts. One was in Movistar Arena 2015, but sadly I was too far from the stage because the tickets were too expensive. Nevertheless, the second time I was so close. It was in Lollapalooza in 2018, I was li...

My Favourite Series

Imagen
I truly love to watch series, it could be said that it is one of my favourite hobbies. The first series on my list is The Umbrella Academy because it is a fusion of fantasy, drama, black comedy and superheroes. That's literally all I'm looking for. And the soundtracks are amazing! It is a superhero series based on the comic of the same name. It tells the story of seven children who suddenly were born on the same day in 1989 and were adopted by an eccentric billionaire. These children turn out to have peculiar superpowers so their adoptive father turned them into a superhero team called "The Umbrella Academy”. Nevertheless, in 2019 Vanya turns out to be the cause of the end of the world ergo her siblings must do everything possible to try to stop her. But there is an unexpected twist at the end…  The main characters are the seven siblings, who will not stop surprising you. I certainly would recommend this series, because it is the perfect mix between science fiction, myste...

My best holiday ever

-
Imagen
Hi people! Today I am going to talk about my best holiday! They took place in the summer of 2017. I can’t believe it’s almost been 4 years! They were in my favourite country, Germany .  I travelled there alone but I stayed with my host sister, Malou. She took me to different cities for 2 weeks. Some of them were Munich, Rottemburg, Berlin, Dresden and my favourite Cologne. We visited several places but the two I enjoyed most and surprised me were:  The Neuschwanstein Castle was breathtaking.  The outside was astounding but once I got in I really felt like I was in another world.  The Cologne Cathedral was so gorgeous there's no picture that does it justice. I went up to the highest point and the view was spectacular It was amazing because I learned German from the age of 5 and it was totally exciting to speak it all the time. Furthermore, there wasn't a corner that didn't have a great story.  It is a country in which I would love to live and I dream of continuin...

A Country I Would Like To Visit

-
Imagen
     Moscow Welcome to my blog!  One of my biggest dreams is to travel all around the world, but especially to Moscow! It’s a wonderful city with lots of lovely places and amazing constructions. Some of them have more than 800 years old!  When I was in 4th grade I did a presentation of this place and I fell in love with it, and since then I can´t get it out my head.  If I have the opportunity to go, I would visit the Saint Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin, because it is impossible to find buildings like them elsewhere. And I would also buy some tickets to see a perfect Russian ballet in the Bolshoi Theatre. Even though I love this city, I wouldn’t live there, due to the difficulty of the language and therefore to find a job. I would rather study in Germany and always go to Moscow for vacations. I hope you go, you will be astonished!
