    CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME This year I entered a journalism career so I have not had the opportunity to attend face-to-face classes and get to know the ICEI facilities, since I am not from Santiago and it is difficult for me to travel. Everything I know about the campus is thanks to the internet and I am very struck by the fact that we do not have a considerable amount of green areas, I think they are undoubtedly necessary and help to improve learning. On the other hand, regarding the curriculum, I believe that basic training courses are necessary since they help us to develop our critical thinking and as future communicators that is something important. However, I think it would be good to reduce the number of these courses since many times it generates an academic overload and they are not essential for our training as journalists because many times they fall into philosophical concepts that are difficult to apply and little used in work practice. If the foregoing wer...

  Time travel to the future I had never seriously thought about traveling to the future, I admit that I like the idea of ​​a travel to the past better. However, if I had the possibility of traveling in the future, I would like to go to the year 2080 and be able to see what the future of our country Chile is like. Being optimistic, I like to think for that year, the country and the whole world will have solved the main problems that afflict us, such as the climate crisis, violence and economic inequalities. I believe that our society would be more sustainable with the environment and fair with the people who make it up. We would all be respected for who we are, and we would understand that our differences are not a problem, but rather enrich us as a species. In 2080, people will not be afraid of an unstable future, as our planet and the species that inhabit it will be protected by all. People will also not be afraid of suffering violence for expressing who they are or for not ha...

  Education in times of Strikes. I chose South Korea because I am a fan of BTS and listening to their song N.O I realized the pressure that students in this country are subjected to, where it only matters to be the best and have good grades to enter major universities. This is because in his society, perfection and appearances are everything. "Dream is gone, no time to breathe School, house and PC room is all we have We live the same life And have to become number one For us it's like a double spy between dream and reality In my search about the education in South Korea, I found that this is a mainstay for the development of society, for the same reason that education is free and compulsory from 7 to 15 years old and both the State and citizens carry out a great investment in education (dedicates almost 7% of its GDP). Furthermore, educational laws are not affected by changes in government. But South Koreans modify the school curriculum every five years to suit the country...

 My Pet My pet is called Princesa, she is a Yorkshire Terrier. It was a birthday present from my dad (and it´s the best gift I could have ever received).                                                            She is 6 years old and very small and light. Her hair is long and straight, although when it is not combed it forms small waves. My favorite part of her body is her eyes, because they are so small, dark, and expressive. About her personality, she is very dominant and loving (every time I cry she comforts me with a couple of licks). She is very curious and likes to play with her son Nico, my other pet (he is my parents' favorite). Princesa is very boisterous and barks at any noise.                                         ...

  Childhood Series Talk about our childhood is a journey through the nostalgia. I remember when I was a child I used to enjoy watching princess movies (The Beauty and The Beast, The Little Mermaid were my favorites) and Disney Channel cartoons like American Dragon: Jake Long, Recess, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers and The Replacements, I saw them before going to school, while I had breakfast and on weekends I woke up very early as not to miss the episodes.                                                                                                                                                           ...

    The best concert ever When One Direction announced in 2014 that they would be coming to Chile for their “Where We Are Stadium Tour” staying quiet was not an option. I was a pretty intense fangirl from the boyband so giving me a ticket was the best news I could get. For those who do not know 1D, here is some information: One Direction was a boyband founded in 2010 in England. The band members was Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik. The atmosphere of the concert was very euphoric as we were all the fans gathered waiting for a show that we had waited for so long. I was super nervous and anxious, while we waited in the lines, then when we entered the stadium and got into our seats I felt very happy. Then, when they showed up, I couldn't believe that I was so close to them, I thought a bit embarrassing things like "I'm breathing their same air." Also, I was in the company of my bestie. We sing the songs very loudly and take p...

  Greece When I was younger and began to read about Greek mythology, I was captivated by the gods, heroes, monsters and places that were described in those pages. I think it was at that moment that my fascination with Greek culture began and that is why I would like to travel to that country. About Greece I know that it is a country located in Europe, has many islands and is surrounded by the Aegean, Mediterranean and Ionian Seas.   Its capital is the city of Athens and it is the cradle of Western civilization, where the democracy, philosophy and literature that we know today arose . In the country I would like to visit the ruins of the ancient pantheons and temples that are located in Athens and visit the beautiful islands located in the Santorini archipelago. It would be a true dream for me to be able to live in Greece and immerse myself even more in its culture and traditions, enjoy its gastronomy with dishes such as Mousakás, Yemistá or its fish, and   learn a...
