Blog 7: Music

Hi everyone!

Hope all is well. Today we are talking about music!

My favorite singer of all time is Ariana Grande. She is a 26 year-old Pop/R&B singer and has a four-octave vocal range (similar to Mariah Carey who has a five octave-range!). She has four albums, Yours Truly (2013), My Everything (2014), Dangerous Woman (2016), Sweetner (2018), and Thank U, Next (2019). I can't decide which is my favorite album, but sometimes I would say it's a tie between Yours Truly and Sweetner, Yours Truly because of it's throwback of 90's Pop/R&B and Sweetner for it's lyrical depth. To be honest, Dangerous Woman I love, but it is my least favorite album because the lyrics are not as deep compared to the others.

Beside her music, I really like her as a person, she is a feminist and very progressive. She always speaks out about issues in the United States such as racism, homophobia, sexism, and gun violence. 

Something that is really amazing about her is that she has whistle-tone register. Here is one of her best examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjzENV7rhhI  and here is her doing it live and one of her best performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGeH483gNOg

In general, my favorite musical genres are R&B/Soul, Pop, Reggaeton, and Trap :)

I download all my Reggaeton and Trap music from Ipauta.com. There they have news about the artists, reviews and free illegal downloads of songs and albums.


Here is the album cover of Ariana Grande's latest album:

Now it's your turn:

Say:

Who is your favorite group/band/singer? Why?

    I met whistle-tone in Minnie Riperton's song Loving You. Is very impressive and sounds like a bird.

      Ariana has a clip doing that song, there's another singer called Shanice who has a remake of that song and also has a whistle-tone

Blog 3: Quarantine Activities

Imagen
Hi everyone, Hope all is well. So today the class decided to talk about quarantine activities. I have been in quarantine since March 18th and I must say that I am used to it :O I don't even remember when it became mandatory in my district (I live in downtown Santiago or Santiago Centro). I usually leave the house once a week to buy groceries at the Colombian mini-markets and buy fruit from the street. It is a big procedure haha. Normally, I go on the computer in the morning after eating breakfast to look at news and read students' emails and correct homework. I also plan classes and check blogs. Then I eat lunch and have classes. After I watch series on Netflix (currently I'm watching Legion, Summertime, The Disastrous Life of Saiki Kusuo) and prepare the "once" or tea time. After that, I go shower and watch more series until falling asleep. During my free time, on weekends, I wake up later and read. Currently I'm reading Rayuela (Hopscotch in English) b...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
H i everybody :) I hope you had a great weekend! Today we are going to talk about your future job. Well, in my case I will talk about what I like about working in the University of Chile. I started working here in March 2016 and I really like it for various reasons. I really like the focus of the English Program. I also really like working in the Campus Juan Gomez Millas because I studied here in 2012-2013 and have many good memories, but also because it is familiar to me.  Another reason that I like working in the University of Chile is the English Program. Although I have some criticisms of the program I really like how they encourage us to focus on communicational skills and not focus on grammar, which I honestly believe is the best way to learn a language: using it with or without errors because practice makes perfect. We also try to make the classes student-centered, which means that the student is the protagonist. Regarding the classes, as I mentioned in the ...

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies

Hi everyone :) I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about a postgraduate course that you would consider taking in the future. Well, in my case, I already have done a postgraduate studies. I studied Latin American Literature and finished in from 2010 to 2014 at Eckerd College in the State of Florida. In 2015, I took a postgraduate course called CELTA - (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) so I could become an English Teacher. I studied in the British-Chilean Institute of Culture in Santa Lucía. I studied part-time: I worked in the University of Diego Portales during the day and studied at night. I'm happy that I did the course and I learned a lot in such a short period since the course was an intensive course that lasted from March to June. Sometimes I consider taking a Master's course, something in Caribbean Literature since I really love that type of literature. I'm sure many of you realized since I use a lot of Caribbea...
