Post Nº5: My Future Job

Image
When I was younger if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, becoming a teacher was the last thing on my list because I hated school. I used to think that school was not for me until I got into the eighth grade. In 2001, I was going through a rough period in my life and I had a teacher that was there for me and helped to overcome all difficulties. She always believed in me and, most importantly, she helped me to believe in myself. It was because of her that when I had to make the decision, I immediately knew I wanted to become a teacher. I also knew that I wanted to work with high school students since teenagers are really vulnerable and most of them need emotional support. I dreamed about working in a school in a small village in the South of Chile, and maybe someday I will do that. When it comes to money, you know that you won’t become a millionaire, so money is not an important issue. Regarding my field, English was always an easy subject for me, and I like traveling (...

Post Nº4: A Sport I love (Option A) Swimming has been my favorite sport since I was very small. I learned to swim when I was just 4 years old, because my father is a great swimmer and he always took us to vacay to his hometown Angol , which is a small city in the Araucanía region in the south of Chile.

To me, being in or near water helps to reduce feelings of stress. Just listening to the sound of water is soothing for me.

Post Nº3: My Favorite TV Series

My favorite TV series of all time is definitely Breaking Bad. It is available on Netflix and I have watched 3 times already and, every time I start watching it, I keep discovering new clues about the plot and new personality traits about the characters as well. Everything on this show is well-executed, the acting, the direction of each episode and the dialogues. The usage of songs and background music is really interesting as well. Surely, it has a slow pace sometimes but, from the very first episode, you will get hooked. This TV series has the most emotionally charged, tragic and perfect finale and, if you watch it and you like it, it’s going to be hard to decide when to stop watching the episodes. It also shows how practical knowledge of Science is useful in ‘special’ ways, for instance, to become a millionaire or to escape from a tricky situation. Undoubtedly,  Heisenberg is one of my favorite fictional characters of all times. TASK Nº3 - My Favorite TV Series Instructi...
