My experience with English

Hello my name is Mauricio and I’m going to write a brief essay, this is the last exercise of the English class, so I’m a little sad man today. And I say this according with the subject of this writing: my experience of learning English at the university, general reflections. Well, I’ll try three matters related to my experience. The first one is that this has been a hard process, where I have suffered a lot. The second one is that doing this I have traveled by a lot of interesting reflections. The third one says: this is other subject finished, like others too, so I’m finishing this year.

A hard process always presents some difficult to the person who is in it. In this case I have passed by the learning of English. This is a part of my learning; I have studied since I was nine years old, and at this time I have nineteen years old, ten more since the beginning. Really, in this experience I have to pay attention, and write a lot, I think that in this opportunity I have passed all my records of writing in English. All of this writing is a big improve in my knowledge.

With all the posts of the works I have a lot of new matters to think, it’s very interesting to know things that make you doubt, and in a general view, may be this help me to pay more attention for all the problems and details of the life.

Like another subjects, I’m ending this one. Well, I hope to make all the subjects and take a big relax for the vacations, where I’m going to forget all the learned, very happy. But in the next year I have to remember all the learned in this year.

In conclusion, learning English have been difficult but it’s a real useful tool, more if we see that in this world almost all the language that is traveling in it is the English language. And more, now if I have to read something in English I’ll do it better than before learning all this, obviously. One thing very important to me is that I need to test my English in another country, or seeing movies, it doesn’t matter, and the main thing is to understand the things that I’m listening o reading. I’ll try with all my attention, continuing the process of learning.

The challenges of anthropology.

Anthropology is a career that’s offer by the social sciences faculty, in the “Universidad de Chile”. Like all career, and may be, more special in anthropology, the students, and the professionals, will find a lot of challenges that are occurring to this discipline. So in this text I’ll try to give a solution to each problem that I’ll say. The hope is the last thing we have to loose, so, don’t give up if you are studying this career, and try to put your imagination in all your work.
In the first side we have the area of the technology. In this discipline we don’t have a instrument enough efficient, all the development is to another careers, so we have to improve the investigation, searching for a good way to get the material of our study. Notably is the useless of the interview when we have to know a lot of opinions of the people, and specially when we wants to know what the people thinks about the life, in particular the things that they omit. We can wait for a special technology able to get in the mind of the study, like an experiment. At least for study to the apes if the people don’t like this new invent. This will be a real solution for the anthropologist, because, in the case that the person interrogated is agree with the study, we will know all the things that he really thinks, and more, the unconscious part of his mind will be knowledge for the discipline.
In the second point, we have the social matters. Like you read more above, the anthropology in constantly “playing” with social matters, so, this is the main point of importance. A critical problem is the poverty and the inequality. So, the anthropology has to learn to study the society. And a possible solution it’s the anthropologist like a voice to say all the problems that are omitted by the states.
The third point is the education. In this area, we can find a lot of problems with the efficiency of the teachers, but in the real way, they don’t have all the responsibility in that. The anthropology will help if it starts pay attention and gives force to the voices of the people.
