My English Experience

The first time that I heard something in english, I was a little child and I didn´t want to eat my lunch, My aunt that is a very funny woman said: If I sing for you, You Will eat your luch? And she started to dance and sing the hits of Madonna and The Police, and I felt wondered with this, (obviously that I ate all my luch) since this moment I always hear english songs, from movies I heard the songs and copy the lyrics in a notebook and in this way I could make more sensitive my ear and learn english. Years later, I went to live to the island and in the rural schools the teachers didnt learn English, so my dad that learned English with a course because he need it for his job (all of the managers of the company where he worked were scotish) teach me somethings like animals, vegetables, the numbers, vocabulary. When I moved to the city and go to a city school my English level was horrible, so I study English a little bit every day, because the teachers dind´t have compassion with the island girl. Then my English level increased and I finished with the best marks of my class, so I bored all the time, because the teachers every year taught the same things, and sing the same songs (kid´s songs) like The Seasons, Over the Rainbow, They used a book named Sesame Street (was about Muppets) when I was 10 years old Iwas happy with this book, but later I think that the book was a stupid thing. When I go to the secondary school I moved to another school where the English level was worst. So I didn´t learn too much. Now at the University I can practice more, because every week I learn something new and is more interactive than my first experiences.

About Me and my Family

Hi my name is Catalina, I´m 21 years old, I live with my mother and my sister, we lived in Santiago since 2005, when I entered to University. Before we lived in many islands of the Chiloé Archipelago of Chiloé, because my father worked with the aquaculture. Now my father is living in Puerto Aysén southern than Chiloé, and have a new little family with Paty, his new wife, and Bastián my little brother, he is 2 years old.
My mother was a obstetrician, but while we lived in Chiloé she didn´t work because there was no hospitals, and the city was faraway from the island. But when we arrived to Santiago in 2005, she decided study again at the University and entered to Catholic University of Chile and studied Nursery, she only studied while two years because the University approved some subjects from the Obstetrician career. Now she worked in the Sótero del Rio Hospital in Santiago.
My sister is 18 years old, and this is the last year at the school, and she is deciding what career study, but she is very confused, I think that will be better If she will use the next year to think and be safe.
About me, I´m studying Geography in the University of Chile, and this is my fourth year, I`m very happy with the career and I hope to get the bachelor at the end of year, and join the laboral market soon. My hobbies nowaday is go out of the city as periodically as I can, to the Mountains, rivers, or beach.
