MY favourite piece of technology.

My favourite piece of technology is my smartphone.

I got my current smartphone about 2 years ago (since someone stolen my last phone) but I've had phones since 4th grade if I remind well.

I used to use my phone (now called smartphone) to listen music, take blurred pictures, and play some games on it. But technology has gone so far, that now I can do things on my phone that I used to do on my laptop, like watch series and movies, read books in PDF format, stay in contact with my friends using apps to send them messages and memes, read the newspaper, etc. The difference is that with a smartphone you can do those things in a comfortable way and wherever you want.

Years ago, I couldn't imagine that having a phone would be so necessary, but now in the university I've noticed how essential is have a smartphone, or stay in constant connection to internet. For example, you need it to know your grades, upload homework, know about news about classes (ex: if teacher suddenly died), etc.

I use it all days, I like it because I can travel with it and use it wherever I go, because it's small.

My life would be ever more boring than now if smartphones doesn't exist, but without it I would look for a mp4 to replace it, and bring my camera with me (even when it’s heavy), because the most important part of smartphones for me is listen music wherever I go and take pictures of everything, but I appreciate other functions because make my life easier and funnier.

My Autobiography???

Hi people in level 3 English class, my name is Úrsula Jáuregui. I’m daughter of Erika Abraham and Luis Jáuregui and I was born in November, 1997, on San José Hospital (if I can remember well my mom’s stories). I’m 20 years old right now.

I studied elementary school in Liceo Rosa Ester Alessandri Rodríguez, I started to hate that place when one of my friend left (she was 3 years older than me). With my best friend, we had the great idea of leave that school so, when I was 15 years old, I went to do the high school in Liceo Tajamar de Providencia with my best friend since 2004. Unlucky, we got in different classes for one year, but after that year we got together again.

I liked Tajamar’s schedule then, because classes were until 1-2pm and I started a new life there with new people. Now I'm studying in the university (Universidad de Chile) to become a pharmacist, I'm on first year (again). Things are going better this year than last year, I think I’m happier now, and that’s pushing me to study and keep a mind healty.

My family is weird, I live with my grandmother, uncle (he’s like my father) and my 3 blessings, my dogs: Lady, Lizzy and Bebé. I don’t like to talk about my mom, dad and sister. I don’t really mind live without them because my grandmother and uncle give me everything I need.

Here is a photo of my blessings Lizzy and Bebé in their worst look (Lady is my 15 years old dog, she wasn't in the photo because she barely moves).

In my free time, I used to play all day, between Heroes of the storm and Overwatch because I had (and still having) good friends there. Now I have less free time so I usually use that time for sleeping, watch The Simpsons while I do handmades, or dating with my boyfriend.

That's all for now, have a nice Friday 13th!

I hope nobody read this, because If someone does, I won't sleep tonight.

Expectations about blog sessions.

This is the first session in CIQ, and the topic of this class is write about our expectations about blog sessions and answer some questions about.

Talking about English skills, for me, reading and writing are easier skills than speaking and listening. It doesn’t mean that I absolutely don’t know how to speak and listen English sentences, but they’re harder for me because in school I only had writing tests. Also I’m shy, and sometimes, even Spanish is hard to talk for me. So that’s why speaking and listening skills are harder to do for me.

About blogs, I think is a good way to improve writing skills, because writing on paper is boring, the same thing that most of us have been doing for years, but in blogs we are closer to the technology what we use every day. In those blogs, I think that including topics like things we do in a common day (ex: listen music, read a book, what and why we study in our career, etc) would be fine, and not harder to write and explain as an internet search about unknown topics would be.
