FINAL POST

What you most enjoyed writing about, and why?

I truly enjoyed writing about the two photos in my blog, "2 Photos of Moments in Life." The first photo, taken in 2009 when I was five years old, captured a precious moment at my great-grandmother’s house. I loved describing the atmosphere of the house, the lavender-colored plume flowers in the garden, and my father's artistic talent. Writing about that memory made me reflect on how much that house meant to me, as well as the importance of family connections. The second photo, taken in 2022 with my high school friends, was also a highlight. It was my first time traveling without my parents, and I got to share the joy of exploring a new place with close friends. Writing about those memories allowed me to relive the fun and freedom of that trip, which was one of the best vacations I've ever had. Both photos brought back beautiful memories, and writing about them felt like a way of preserving those moments forever.


What you least enjoyed writing about, and why?

I did not enjoy writing about "Exploring NYC on a Webquest" as much as I would have liked. While I found the information about New York City, such as the tourist spots and detailed facts about the Statue of Liberty, interesting, I felt that the format was too factual and less personal. I would have preferred to write about something more creative or engaging, like personal experiences or stories. Writing about a webquest felt more like a research task than a fun writing exercise, and I missed the emotional connection I had with other topics, such as the photos from my memories.


Whose blog did you enjoy reading and why?

I really enjoyed reading Constanza Medina's blog, "My September 18th Uyui!" The way she shared her experience during the Fiestas Patrias was so relatable and fun. Even though her blog started with a small setback (the early morning presentation), she was able to focus on the positive aspects of her celebration, spending time with her family and enjoying various games and traditions. I liked how she captured the joy of being with loved ones and the excitement of the festivities. It was a lighthearted and genuine post that made me smile and reminded me of my own family celebrations.


What aspects of English learning the blog work has helped you with?

Working on the blog has significantly improved my English writing skills. It has helped me practice structuring my thoughts more clearly and organizing my ideas in a way that is easy to follow. Additionally, writing for the blog has expanded my vocabulary, especially when describing memories, places, or experiences. I also learned how to make my writing more engaging by adding details and using descriptive language. Overall, the blog has been a valuable tool for enhancing both my writing fluency and my ability to express myself in english.


Whether or not you will blog in the future, and why, why not?

I would not write a blog in the future, because I don't really like writing about myself or different topics. Also, I think that to write a blog you must dedicate yourself to it.

CULTURAL RADAR - CLASE 2 INGLISH VI

On My Radar: Vashti Bunyan's Cultural Highlights Today in class I read an article about Vashti Bunyan, a singer-songwriter born in cultural hotspot London, and it was fascinating to see what resonates with an artist like her. The article offered an intriguing insight into her world, highlighting a Scottish railway museum, a much-loved painter, and a forgotten American musician... The aspects of culture discussed ranged from music and art to places and literature. What stood out to me the most was her mention of the song “Roving Woman” by Connie Converse. The story behind the song is both tragic and mysterious: Connie Converse, an overlooked songwriter from the 1950s, disappeared without a trace in 1974, leaving behind only her music. The song captivated Bunyan when it randomly played on Spotify, and she expressed how it cleverly reflects the societal views of women during that era. I find it particularly interesting because it highlights how art can emerge from obscurity to touch l...

BLOG FUN DAY

 A Fun Day Out With Friends Last weekend, I had the most incredible day with a group of close friends that I've known for years. These friends, Sofia and Atenea, have been with me through thick and thin. Sofia and I met in college during a group project, Atenea was a childhood neighbor who became like a sister to me. Over time, our bond has only grown stronger, making every moment we spend together special. We decided to take a break from our busy lives and have a fun day out. After some discussion, we settled on going to an amusement park that none of us had visited before. The anticipation was high as we drove there, laughing and talking about everything under the sun. The weather was perfect, with clear skies and a gentle breeze a great start to our adventure. Once we arrived at the park, the excitement kicked in. We started with some of the most thrilling rides roller coasters that sent us soaring through the air, spinning teacups that had us dizzy with laughter, and even a hau...

2 Photos of moments in life

Imagen
  This photo is from 2009, when I was about 5 years old. My dad took it at my maternal great-grandmother's house. She was an English teacher and even became a school principal. My great-grandmother had a huge house with a corridor that led to an inner garden full of plume flowers, which stand out in the background of the photo with their lavender color.  My father took the picture to draw me later; he draws exceptionally well and has an incredible talent. I don’t have a photograph of the drawing, but I can describe it: it’s done in gray tones, drawn freehand with graphite, capturing every detail of me and the background.  Currently, my great-grandmother's house belongs to another family, but I still pass by it often since my grandmother’s house is connected to it through a door.   Here I am with my high school friend in Papudo. We went there for our fourth year trip in December 2022, at that time, I had already turned 18. It was the first time I traveled without my p...
