Dear all, 

As you know, this is the last post for this english course.

I have personally enjoyed getting to know you a little more from your posts, and also I've seen your development :)

Today's topic is:

English Language Challenges

As we finish this semester, you'll notice that from now on it will either become easier, or much more difficult to keep on learning english. I say this because academically, you won't be using english as much, and also because if you decide not to continue practising, you'll probably forget some of the things you've already learnt. Now, if you do want to speak english, as a professional tool, a personal goal, or even for specific purposes related to your personal life, you'll have a chance to do new things with english. Read magazines related to your workfield? or maybe join conversation clubs, you name it. Now, tell me about your thoughs!

Some questions that can guide your post are:

> What comments can you make about your experience learning English at university? What about the use of blogs?

> What aspects of your English need to be improved and how do you plan to do this?

> Outside the English class, how much are you using English these days? What for?

Hello everybody!

This week's post is the last one of the ones we chose in the beginning of the semester.
The topic may be complicated but I'll open it a bit, since I'd like everyone to be able to express their ideas about this.

Birds of Chile (and the world).

First, I must say that I was very surprised when we elected the topics and you came up with this idea, and not only you mentioned it, you voted for it! I wondered why such a topic would be of interest for dancers, but then I realized all of you are humanists, so I bet nature is something you enjoy very much.

Personally, I became interested in chilean birds when I first saw a loica! its scientific name is Sturnella loyca, and they can be seen in many places around the city of Santiago. 


The reddish color above the stomach is one of the things that make these birds unique.

Another bird that I love, is a neighbor of mine: Athene cunicularia, AKA Pequén.
I say we're neighbors because where I live there is a couple of 'Pequenes' using a rabbit's old hole to bring up their hatchlings. Whenever I go near the entrance of the ex-rabbit's hole, they both get angry and they start making sounds so I 'get scared' and leave their babies live and grow peacefully underground. 


 
The white line above its eyes is one of their characteristics. 

So that's about me, now it's your turn to tell me about the birds you like!
It can be about any chilean or foreign birds, also you can mention anything related to birds, music, cartoons, poetry or even dances related with them!
