English language challenges

My experience learning English at the university has been very enjoyable, at school I didn't like the subject because I thought the way of teaching the language was boring, but at the university I feel that it has been with a different approach and with other types of activities that have made me like the language again.

The use of blogs has helped me a lot to be able to develop ideas or opinions in English more easily, to realize that I can write better and better in another language.

I think that my English pronunciation has improved a lot over time, but I feel that I still have a lot of things to improve, such as the conjugation of verbs, I find it difficult to differentiate between futures and similar aspects.

In order to improve I think it is very good to write and corroborate what I write with someone who knows the language well, also speaking it when I can or listening to music and watching movies and series in English with subtitles.

As I said, I use English both recreationally and for university activities. I use it when watching movies or listening to music that is in English, I like to know what the songs I listen to say. Academically I have used it in several subjects, some professors give us material that is in English, and the truth is that I find it easier and faster to study it without the need of a translator or someone to help me. The English course has been a great help in this university period.

An expert/person in my field that I admire I think that in the short time I have been studying, I have not yet found a reference that causes me admiration, however I want to highlight an iconic woman in the chemical area, Marie Curie. She was a Polish scientist and naturalized French citizen , a pioneer in the field of reactivity, the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements and the Nobel Prize in physics for her work on radiation. I consider her an admirable person because at that time, at the beginning of the 20th century, to be a scientist, academic or researcher was practically impossible, in her country women could not access higher education, and despite that, in what I consider an act of female empowerment, she went to France and managed to study at the university, demonstrating to have the same and better capabilities than men in the same area, and being recognized worldwide for her a...

A photo and its story This picture, or rather, what is in it is very important to me, it is a picture of Cristobal, my nephew, on his 11th birthday with his cat "Wilson" in his arms. The story of this picture is very special, my nephew since he was very young has loved animals, especially cats, he had long wanted to adopt one, but for space issues did not allow it, this year he asked many times to adopt one and for his birthday I looked for a kitten for him (because I had to give him the pleasure haha) and that made him very happy. It means a lot cause he is the most important person for me, he is like a little brother and the best company always hahaha. In the picture you can see how happy he was that day, for turning over a decade and for his new pet and seeing him like that makes me so happy.
