Blog Session 12: English

I like the English subject at University. I think in our lives its very important to speak and write in English because this languaje was very influential in a lot of aspects in the actual way of living. From technology, politics to the culture and more, the English is the most powerful languaje in our world. That was directly related to the United States and their influence in the rest of the countries. Inclusive, for some pleople this languaje its considered like a universal languaje. 

I think that the use of blogs is very useful. In my case, my English classes at my school was related mainly to listen and repeat the things that our teachers said to us and not necesary related for to create something by own. To work in blogs can move us closer to English.

I need to improve the way how I use the verbs according the differents times of speaking. To know the correct word that we need to use in an particular sentence for express a idea. I think that the best form to improve this is only writing or speaking, mainly writing, because in this act I can take conscience about the things that I want to say in contrast (in some cases) that the things that really I say.

Outside the English class I don´t use too much English for express myself, really. But, obviosly I am always in contact with this languaje, all the time. Since a song sung in English, to a manual to built an object. We are in a society that we always we be in relation with the English languaje, how I say in the first part. We need to pay atention of it and to learn English. That is a crucial tool for our carreers and our way of living.

This Year

To talk about this year in this moment isn't very easy. This year many things have happend in my life but lately, a particular bad thing happened in my life and that changed a lot of things that I thought or even the way that I usually see the things. But I prefer to talk about the good things. (Including what this bad thing could cause). Because this bad thing, maybe can be the start for new good things, like opportunities, new persons to meet or comeback to the things that are really important. Lately, I can discover again, all the good people who are around me. People who have always stayed with me; in the good times and in the bad ones. People who can do greatest things and beautiful things in their particular ways. Lately I have even met again with a friend that I haven't seen from a long time and again I feel how people who were around have a particular way to do and say things. They are great people. And they are an important part to undestand how in ocassions the bad things that happen in our lives could be only the start for new oportunities to grow up.

On the other hand, I had the possibility to work in good and interesting projects related to my area: the cinema. I participated in a filming project of a short film and in a cinema festival. Where I could see and talk with people related to Chilean cinematography. I have another projects with my friends and I'm interested in doing a lot of things, I want to put my attention and motivation in these things and be happy doing these. 

Blog Session 10: Our Tv Program

These days was very full of things to do. Right now me and a group of my university classmates we prepare a tv program about the most important movies of chilean cinematography. The first episode will be about a movie "El Chacotero Sentimental", a chilean comedy movie from 1999 and directed by Cristian Galaz. 

In each episode we will meet the people who work on it (directors, producers, actors and the crew) and we will talk to specialists on cinema (other film directors, critics, sociologists) who the answer how this movie in particular make a contribution in our national cinematography. We have to interview a theses persons and in my particular case, I have to edit the program (a very hard job in this case, because they are a lot of hour on video). The others movies that we would watch in the season of our program it would be from old movies like "El Chacal de Nahueltoro" directed by Miguel Littin or "Largo Viaje" directed by Patricio Kaulen to important movies of the last time, like the Oscar Nominee "No" directed by Pablo Larraín.

I like the project. I like to know the stories of the people who created a movie that have become a hit. And like the simple fact of meet this people. An important part to understand how the people in our country make movies; filmakers, producers, actors and all the people related to the production. But I'm very proud of this project and it would be great that it mantein in the time. Or it would become a truly contribution to the people who make and love the cinema.
