English Pre-Int-A, Post 3, ' 'My dream job'

 Warm Salutations,


Prospective Early Childhood Educators, Sociologists, Psychologists, Social Workers and Anthropologists from FACSO,



This week, I am bringing to you the third out of six blog sessions.



In this particular session, you will be asked to do the following class assignment:

 

 

 

- What kind of job would you like to have? How do you imagine it?

- What skills will you need?

- Would you like to travel a lot in your job?

- What about the salary?

- Add any other related ideas.


- Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts (optional) + a comment on your teacher's post (obligatory)

 

- Word Count: 210 words

 

 

I leave you a sample, as usual, 

 

"First of all, as a manner of a beginning, I would like to say that it is difficult to choose a favourite activity that you perform, in my case, I probably have too many to choose from. If I was paid for an activity I enjoy performing, I would say it could be heaven on Earth, literally. However, I must return to reality and talk about what paid endeavour I enjoy the most doing, and in my case, it should be ‘teaching English as a Foreign Language to university students.

 

It is extremely difficult to say what particular bit of your job you like the most. Choosing a form of making money that makes you happy is one of the most difficult decisions a person has to make in their entire life. It is not just a matter of choosing; it is a matter of performing a job and dealing with the hardships of it without giving in during the process.

 

The money you make is important, however, the quantity is not that much. Money brings a great deal of help and gives you an opportunity to obtain some tools to help you thrive throughout this life. I think I’m not in this business for money. I’m here because it is fun and I rather enjoy the experience of meeting new challenges to approach new people and their struggles with the English Language.

 

What about you?

Best Regards

Cheers!

    I also believe that the most enjoyable part of working should be the experience of it and not a 100% the money you get! but i also think that this mindset is a little privileged, because not everyone can have a job that they like

    Hi, I like the way you understand the act of choosing, I guess it's very difficult sometimes not to want to give up even with the things you chose for pleasure

    Hi teacher, I really enjoyed your post, since we can ponder the phrases “work to live” or “live to work”.

    I completely agree with you when you said that it's very hard to find balance in what you like and the money you can receive with it. And, yeah, money can brings so many tools, but I really hope that, in the future, money won't limit people from doing what they really like to do.

    Hi Mr. Larenas!
    Well said it. I think pretty the same way, even in the first part when you mentioned your thoughts beyond the reality.
    Regards!!!

English Pre-Int-A, Post 5, 'Changes to my study programme'

  Warm Salutations, This week, I am bringing to you the fifth out of six blog sessions. In this particular session, you will be asked to do the following class assignment: Write about some changes that could be made to your study programme Among others, think about: > The curriculum (the subjects you have to study) > Workload and length of studies > Faculty facilities (buildings and infrastructure) > Use of technology > Teaching Methods - Word Count: 230 - Leave comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts and your teacher's blog entry  As I always do, I leave you with a sample post, "I think I would not change any of the subjects from the undergraduate programme I studied.

What it did not cover was Spanish Linguistics, and of course, I did not study Spanish Linguistics. Even though I took a subject on Spanish Grammar
