Well, I must admit that English has never been my best subject, I consider it interesting and I love to listen to fluent conversations in this language, because it’s the moment that I realize that I understand the language but it is difficult for me to express myself because I think a lot about each word to say (and many times I don’t find the correct word hahaha).
I entered the university with level 2 of English, I recognize that at that moment I felt lazy because of the fact that I have to give three semesters of English.
It happens that the subject doesn’t bore me but I have too much academic load and many times I feel that time of the subject is the time I could be studying for subjects that complicate my life.
I am very entertained writing blogs, there are topics that I find very interesting and I am very motivated writing. This being a blogger I did also in my school, because that was also one of the teaching methods. In fact, I have gmail account just because I had to create the account to be able to use blog from that time (about 6 years ago).
In spite of that, I consider that the level of English learned in the university is not enough, not for the teachers, but for the program itself, let's say that I don’t think I have learned much in these three semesters, no more than I had learned in my school. That’s why I plan at some point to focus on learning English, I still don’t know how, but it is one of my goals.
Finally, I must say that I almost didn’t use the language in my daily life, I sometimes say words in the air in English, usually words of rudeness hahaha, but no more than that.

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME
When I entered the university career, it coincided with the change of the curriculum. As I was "mechona" I didn’t consider this, but after entering, I noticed what a curriculum change really meant. This led to a mismatch in many areas, for example, eliminate recuperative tests, higher academic load for new generations, change of regulations, etc.
With my partners we began to notice the great difference between the new curriculum and old curriculum, today I am studying eight subjects !!! On the other hand, if I had entered a year earlier I would be studying only 5 subjects in a common semester, like the normal one of the students.
In my opinion, it was not a good change, because the work load of the students was increased excessively, which only generates stress and low quality of life.
As for teaching, I must say that I consider that in the university there are very good teachers, each one with different methods manage to explain their subject very well. But there are also teachers who should not be in charge of teaching as such, because they don’t handle the topics well and therefore they are not capable of teaching, or even if they manage the subjects but do not have the capacity to teach the subject to the students.
This leads to a discrepancy between technology and teaching methods, because having use of projectors, computers, etc. the quality of teaching can decrease or increase, because many times the PPT is not used as a tool, is like a book where the teacher is only responsible for reading textually what he says there, which becomes tedious and leads to that students stop attending classes because finally reading the PPT at home will be the same.
Finally, but not least, it’s sad that our faculty doesn’t have enough covered places, leading to a rainy day students must resort to lunch in the library and places not suitable for this.
