I have english classes since I was 4, so
for me they feel like a routine and they are nothing too special in my life. I
plan to do the official courses to get my knowledge of english language
certificated very soon so they classes will continue…forever.
In the area of physical anthropology we are
trained to read everything in english because english is the latin of our era,
so if you wanna know about something, well...read about in the english version
of wikipedia. The most prominent journals in science are in english language,
so if you don`t want to get behind the news, you ought to check in Nature and
Science, so in consecuance you have to know how to read in english.
And that is why I like to write on the blogs so
much. It gives me the chance to express instead of just get impressed by the
things i read about. But I would prefer to write more about discussion of
papers of stuff like that than to talk about vacations or things of that
nature. I visit a website called “Science Daily” everyday (or almost) and
I love it because the publish news about science in a very accessible language,
like a new in a newspaper, so I can learn about theme foreign to me, like earth,
physical and biological sciences and math. I think I would write more and
better thing if the job assigned to the blogs were write stuff like that.
I think I have a good level on listening
and reading, but expressing myself is a lot harder and I really need to improve
that skills.
I like English very much. It is economic with
the use of words, pragmatic and very flexible so is easy to express ideas. It`s
always around me too: when I`m not reading papers, I`m listening to music or
reading some comic books that usually are in English, so it`s omnipresent in my
life and I very pleased with it.
