My experience with English 

Since I started school, in prekinder, I started learning english. The truth is that english in my school was very good and I had a lot of classes in this language.

When I started first grade I had different classes in english like math, science and also history. I learned a lot of things named in english and it was difficult for me when in fifth grade, the programme changed and I started having math in spanish, science and history. I had to get used to the words like revolution and rotation because I said "revolucion" meaning "traslacion". Then when I was at high school I was used to it and started enjoying a lot english classes because of my teacher. 

When I enter this university, I had to take a test for knowing what stage of english I was in. At first when I did the test and knew my results, I was angry, because I was wrong in one question and if it wasn't for that, I could have been exempt. But then, when I started having classes, I realised that it wasn't the worst thing in the world. 

I like making blogs because I think that I could practice my writing and my english cohesion. I think that it's good for people to always practice and never leave behind things that would help you in your future. English is now require and a very powerful tool in jobs. 

The only thing that I think that would improve my english is speaking. I would love to go to another country and be there for 6 months and practice a lot my speaking, because the only way to learn how to talk, is been there and share with people that only speaks this language.  

These days, I watch a lot of TV in english, like series and films. I tried to take out the subtitles and only listen . The truth is that I hate the dubbed movies.

Changes to my study programme

One of the things that made me choose the career that I am studying was the programme that this university had.
When I graduated from school, there was a huge decision to make. I had to pick what university I would study in, because the career was already decided.

After knowing my PSU results, I started visiting the differents universities that I had in mind, and started to check what programme and things they had to offer. When I first read the paper with the programme I already knew what woud be my decision. The best programme for Chemical Pharmacy was Universidad de Chile.

One thing that surprise me was that the programme was very complete, but it seemed a little difficult. The only change that I would make is that we should have more pharmacy classes at the beginning, like in first year, so that we could know if we like this career or not.

Teachers should teach us how to use the different technology for making the medicine, because I think that a lot of my colleagues would work in a laboratory. They should ask for more infrastructure because what we would do in the future will save lives. We need more labs for making experiments and we need more pacience if we don't know what to do.

I think that after studying 6 years, we should be very prepared for work and had a very complete curriculum, the only thing that we would need is experience. We need to work in differents places to know what we like the most, and to choose wisely our future.
