I think that is a very good oportunity to have English at university, because I didn't have it since school so I lost the practice. Now, in English IV im trying to use it again to get better in fleuncy, pronunciation and grammar.
When I do the blogs, I try to express myself like I'm talking on my first language, because Spanish and English have differents structures so is hard to translate literally. Therefore, I use translator as little as posible and I try not to depend on it. The blogs are a good experience to think about me and the things I like, expressing myself to others. There are good to practice my grammar and vocabulary. 
I think there are many aspects that I want to improve of my English. Principally, I want to get better at pronunciation and vocabulary, because I think this two aspects are essential for the communication with other people. This aspects are very important for me because I want to travel and English is a very good tool to communicate because of their universality around the world. Despite that, writing and reading are very important for me too, because they are useful for academic texts and papers, that are very used at my carreer. 
Outside class I don't really use English so much but I'm trying to use it more: listening songs, reading on internet and speaking with foreigners when I can. I usually read texts and papers in English, and sometimes I read books of my interest in this language. Ocasionally, I talk with people from other countries in English by internet. 

This year has been full of emotions and great things have happened. There are many good things, for example my nephew was born in April 11th and now he is seven months old. Another good thing is that my mom got a new job and she is doing very well. Also, my brother it's finishing the school and he is going to take the PSU test. 
Another situations didn't go well. My grandparents died at the beginning of the year and that was very sad. I broke up with my girlfriend recently, although that wasn't really sad because we both wanted to. Also, I got my meniscus injured playing soccer, so I will have a surgery soon. 
I have made some academic achievements during this year. I have had very good results in my subjects in both semesters until now. Also, I studied a lot by my own, learning more about topics of my full interest. 
There are a lot of things that I didn't do yet. For example, I want to travel when the university period ends. There are many places that I want to know inside Chile, so this will be a good chance to do it. This year I still have to do the final tests of all subjects so I must be concentrated.
In 2014 I learned that life doesn't stop and after grieving, you have to continue happy as always and making happy the other people near you. This will be a memorable year and I hope it ends well.
