Blog Post 3: My Dream Job

Since I was at school, I always had different jobs in mind, I pictured myself being a psychologist, an actress, a businesswoman, and many others. However, being a teacher was something that came naturally to me, I started teaching when I was at school, I taught English to my classmates before the tests, and I also taught English and Spanish when I was at university, that is how I got extra money, even though I was studying translation at that time.

I studied translation because I love languages and my dad told me I would starve If I became a teacher. However, the first real job that I found was teaching at a private university, my coordinator told me I was good, so I continued with that path until today. Because I wasn’t a “real” teacher I got a master’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language, so now I have the studies to back me up.

My dream for the future is to become a professor, which means, a teacher who teaches students who want to become teachers as well. In that way, I could discuss language with people interested and curious about the language. Teaching at a Translation major would also be a dream job because it would mean studying and teaching English and Spanish.

What about you?

Blog Post 2: The best holiday ever/the best concert ever

  

I’ve been to many concerts, I love them, especially rock concerts, I’ve seen Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons (twice), I also saw Queen when they came with Adam Lambert, so it’s very difficult to choose only one. However, this time I’ll choose the concert by The Killers.

The Killers is a rock band from Las Vegas, in the United States, they are very famous and have won several awards.

The concert was in the Movistar Arena, about ten years ago, I had wanted to go to that concert for a very long time, but I didn’t have the money, so I thought “whatever, next time”, but on the day of the concert my husband calls me like two hours before the concert, it was a Tuesday, and he said, “I won 2 tickets for The Killers, get ready”. I was so happy! The thing is that he won VIP tickets, and we were so close to the stage that I could see the band very closely.

It was one of the best concerts, they sounded just like on their records, Brandon Flowers’ voice was amazing and the concert had a bit of everything, lasers, smoke, balloons, and confetti. I had the best time and I always thank my husband for it.

Blog Post 1: A country I would like to visit

Hi everyone,

Today I would like to write about Japan, which is one of the countries I would like to visit in no more than 10 years’ time. I believe its culture is completely different from ours and the architecture is also very different. I studied Japanese for a couple of years, and I found it very difficult, but I also had classes on Japanese culture and it was so different that I was fascinated by it.

I would like to visit different temples there, parks and also go to the capital Tokyo to visit famous locations there, I would like to eat a lot of food, buy many kawaii things, like presents and clothes.

A few years ago, my husband and I decided we would go there in 2021, but clearly, that wasn't possible; our new goal is 2030, I hope we can do it, you never know what could happen, but before I travel there I would like to learn Japanese again, I forgot almost everything, and I want to be able to speak a little before I get there.

Other places I would like to visit are Italy, Vietnam, Ireland, and many others, but we’ll leave that for the future.
