I also guess time has gone by and since the Covid crisis began things have changed in many aspects, or well, so I guess. One of the big changes of life in the times of Covid-19 has been that along with Dulce we came to live down the countryside in the Bio Bio region. A lovely, though quite cold place. Quite green as well, yet the growth of the forestry industry has done its thing,  As I came here I needed to improve the quality of soil...

   Post 5  CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME Write about some changes that could be made to your study programme (career) Among others, think about: > The curriculum (the subjects you have to study) > Workload and length of studies > Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure) > Use of technology > Teaching methods - Word Count: 230 - Leave comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts and on your teacher's as well. __________________________________________________________________________ There are many things I would have changed from my study programme back when I was studying English Linguistics, and even though I think all the things I studied have been of great use all these years, I believe there are even more issues and topics I would have liked to revise. First thing, I had several history courses, all of them were related to (obviously) Anglo-Saxon history and only one about national reality, I would have liked to study more from the connection of our...

  Blog post 4 Topic: Time Travel to the Past or Future Instructions: Where would you like to go? Why? What time in the future or past? Would you like to stay there? Why/Why not? Upload pictures Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts + a comment on your teacher's post Word Count: 220 words Chile in the 2057, dystopian utopia! I’m someone who suffers from a big deal of anxiety, so I’ve never had a particular obsession for the future in particular, and even though I like daydreaming, I tend to think over past times... but since I need to take the challenge I’d say I would like to explore Latinamerica, particularly Chile in some 37 years from now. This year I turned 37 and for that, I would like to see the country by the time I double my age.  Not a year ago, I learnt through social media that the first President of the Constitutional Convention was a woman and also Mapuche, and guess what! She’s also a Language Teacher colleague. And now having witnessed that historic momen...

And here I am!!  As a youngster I always wanted to have a job that was  fun, light, and easy to do, but always wanted to be with people, so now I think I took the best option. From all the many areas I could work in, I always wanted something neither too-much outdoors nor indoors, furthermore I wanted something that would produce some kind of social change, a good important and deep change. In other matters, I wanted to travel, to see the world, to meet strange people, well... strange meaning,...

Because of many reasons, but mostly, because it is such a varied and colourful country. Russia has an incredible population,  they are 142.5 million people according to the statistics given by the UN in 2007. The number might seem scary, but I don't worry over it! Density is low because of the country’s enormous size, in fact,  its geography is composed of more than 17 mil...
