English Lenguage challenges

What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university?
English lenguage is a useful tool for scientific careers and for life in general. Learning english at university has been well but it could be better. As a biochemistry student I need to learn scientific english, this one might be essential to read  papers, investigation related things and all kind of scientific stuff beyond the chilean scientific world. This last one point is very important because  sciencie is a universal lenguage and it would be understood by all the scientific community. As I'm being part of this community I need as much as possible understand all kind sources of scientific information that will show up on my career.
What about the use of blogs?
The use of blogs limits the learning of scientific english, because all I do is write about my life and, for my career this is the least important. Sometimes for examples I need to look for a book that is only in english version and read it is a tough work.
What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this?
I need to improve my reading comprehension and the fluent speaking due the duty of spread knowledge.
Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?
I sometimes search lyrics of my favourite songs (english) to comprehend their meaning, also when I watch movies I learn english as well.

Summarizing the whole idea I tried to say: English at my university should be more scientific rather than basic english, because basic English is already contemplate at school, so English should be more especialized, scientific english for example on my career. Complementing Scientific english with a nice talking fluently workout would be very useful indeed.

My Favourite Book and Film

My interesting for the books started when I read Murder on “The Canadian” in the school, well I never really liked school books but that was so good then I started to read the book for my own and I discover my favorite book Proud and Prejudice. This book was written by Jane Austen, a British writer, and it first published it was in 1813. I know it’s a romantic story but the best part of this book is the time it was written.  I love the clothes, but I don’t like the thought they had, about getting married very young, having a first-born male child, In general, the strong machismo that existed. The story charts the emotional development of the protagonists, Elizabeth Bennet, who learns the error of making hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between the superficial and the essential. And Mr. Darcy who learns to leave his pride behind and begin the love. In 2005 Joe Wright made the movie of this book. I saw it around 2009 but I don’t like so much, movies are never a

A country you would like to visit..

There are so many countries that I would like to visit, nevertheless when I think about me in a new country, I always imagine in Prague. I don’t know too much about this country, I just know about Charles Bridge, a historic bridge that crosses the Vitava River and the Prague castle. Prague I think that Prague is a WONDERFUL place to go, It has a beautiful architecture, a beautiful river, everything seems so quiet, I close my eyes, I imagine myself there and I feel so good. Have a good time, walking along those beautiful streets, enjoying the scenery and the people Egypt I don’t want to live there, I just want to stay there the enough time to tour the city and enjoy each part of it. I would like to tour the city with a couple of friends or someone special and make the city too much special. When I was a child II always told my mother to take me to Egypt because I wanted to see the pyramids close up… Today I would still like to visit them, but I like Prague muc

Your favourite piece of technology

Since I was a child I liked music, listening to music and playing it.  I play some instruments, but the instrument that I most like to play is the piano, that's why it's my favourite piece of technology. When I was 9 years old my mom gave me a piano, and I learned to play it at the school in the 5th grade, with my teacher's help of course. But it was only that year, then I started to practice on my own, so almost everything I know about play the piano its of my own. Now I love to play the piano, and I do it for different things. Sometimes when I feel sad or angry I like to play a song on the piano, I feel it's like my therapy. Or sometimes my mom wants me to learn a song for her and then she sings it. Or sometimes just I like a song and I wants to play it on piano. I think that my life without piano will be terrible, as I said before, play the piano it's like my therapy, it's where I express what I feel and I don't imagine my life without it. PS:
