it's time to say goodbye/ about my english experience


Idioms are very important in our age, because we constantly are reading a lot of things, movies, posters, information of any kind. So I think languages are very necessary to live, understand, and communicate with other people in other places or in other conditions. About this, I think the most important idiom that everyone must know and learn is english. In the same way, English it’s very important to the student’s life. Why? Because we need to read different papers and books that sometimes are in English, and sometimes we are not prepared to read it. For that reason, in our faculty teach us English.

The English programme consists in four levels, where we were separate by a test that we did in the beginning of the first year of psychology. If we pass the four levels we can get a “pre-intermediate” certificate.

Talking about me, the level where I started to learn english in the university was “english II”. I was very frustrated when I saw the results of the test, because I thought that I’m going to be in the third level. I think my frustration was because I was in an english’s institute for three years. I decided to study english because I really like that idiom, so I asked to my mother to register me in the institute. My mother didn’t like the idea in the beginning, because in that year I was in other school, so she was concerned about my marks. But I insisted and she accepted.

Well. So I think I hated second level for that reason, furthermore, I really knew everything that we “learn” in that course. But, well, life is full of that kind of moments, I think.... Others english levels were ok, I liked the teachers and I had fun with my friends. Well, I learn a lot of things too, and I remembered a lot of things that I forgot.

In conclution, I think my expercience with the english course of the university, in general, was very well. I learned a lot of things, I really had good moments, specially in blog time, because I loved a lot to do this activity, because I think it is very usefull to practice the things we learn in class. Furthermore, specially in four level, I enjoyed a lot blog time, because I liked when my classmates listened to differents songs, because new computers has speakers 83 . I liked blog activity because I can play facebook’s games too. Yes, I admited it, I played games in class. So what?


Well, I think I’m going to miss english.

See yaaa!!

challenges to face

I think psychology is facing some challenges since the career was created, because its objectives are so changeable and sometimes are much undefined. Actually, and talking about my experience in this career and in this faculty, I think my discipline need improve some specials things about for example education.

In education area, I think this career need best teachers… something like have real teachers of psychology. Researchers are so cool and I know they know a lot, but they are so cool investigating, but sometimes they are not good teachers. Maybe the topic of today doesn’t want me to talk about this kind of challenges, but I think if we have to be good professionals in the future, or if we want to contribute in some areas investigating or creating new perspectives, we need to have a good base, and for that we need a good and a specialized education.

Talking more about education I think psychology has another important challenge. I think our discipline has to contribute to the education of children since they’re kids. Why? Because if psychology helps teachers or school’s personnel, I think we as psychologists can make more efficient or dedicated children, we can help them to develop its personality in a best way.

Talking about social matters and technology I think our discipline need to improve and created more places to treat people, because there are some hospitals that treat psychological problems but the conditions are very poor. I think if we want to do more professionals things we need to have the places to do it, nor a room or even worse room in poor or subhuman conditions.

To resolve this challenges I think psychology need more disposition, because for example to improve education or maybe labor conditions, psychologist need to have more time to waste helping people. On the other hand, our discipline needs more monetary contribution, because, even if some people want to build new hospitals or clinics, if they don’t have money, they can’t do anything.

For that reason, I think psychology can have many challenges to face or many things to do, but if our discipline doesn’t have the necessary contributions, nothing of our dreams never comes true.

The end.
