POST 10: The English Class


 -How did you like this subject at university? What about the use of blogs?

For me the English class is important because this language is used in entire world, for standardize the oral relations between peoples of different places. In my career for example, even when other countries like Italy or France are more important, for example USA, however the majority of the texts are in English. For that I think this subject fundamental at university, however I must to admit didn’t learn all I can.
The blog is the part most entertaining and difficult of the English class. Is so necessary for me to reinforce my grammar. And I don’t feel uncomfortable like when I must talk front the class.  

 -What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this?

Sadly, I didn’t take advantage of the English class, because of that I can do (in one or two years) other class of english. Even when, I think that to travel in countries with others languages, you bind to “talk peacefully”. The points I need improved of my English is the grammar (the most important) and the accent. For talk in English always I must back to my accent for speed up the conversation, because with good pronunciation is very slow for me.

-Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?

Just now, I read a book of “Arts in Portugal”, the only book of the artistic expression of this country (in all faculties of university of Chile) and is in English. I must read slowly but with some help of internet I did understand a big part of the text. Is the first time I do some like that, and the final test of this class encouragement me for to do my personal’s translations.  
I hope use my English in summer when I travel, or in a future in others travels or in my studies after this career.

POST 9: INVESTIGATOR OF ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE

My future job, I hope, is investigator of arts and architecture. Now, I study theory and history of arts, a career that I love, that is perfect for me because I can study diverse aspect of the humanities and arts, inclusive, my way now in investigation is in architecture; that make me happy. In one or two years I hope study a major in this, in a university away of the country or in Catolic's University (because is the only institution in Chile when you can learn history and critic of architecture). Well, the way that I want to enter of this posgrade is with a grant. Is the only way in a future for to be a investigator, and live of this. That is the same way for my doctorate, in a long- long future. The grant of investigation of the university or academies is a good way to live in this area, specially with the few jobs in general for the arts and humanities.
I prefer this for life to others. I never work like cultural's agency because the relation with the people and the economy overwhelm me, and this area like a "engineering of art" (is a less creative work). Other specially that I don't work is the critic of art, is a very "exposed" job and you must write about other, like or don´t like the piece that you see.

This job have aspects very cool, because de salary is a grand of maintenance (independent of the monthly payment), also the only responsability that you have, is with yourself, dependent of you, if you go to class (or library, to interview a person or to take a photo). Well I know that this isn't the best salary in the world, but is a very good one for me.
