Bye guys

Hi guys 

Today I am going to write about my experience sharing with all of you trough this blog.

As for the blogs I wrote, I think my favorite was "A show about a television programme from my childhood". Because it was something very easy and fun for me to write.

The truth is that I really like writing and I enjoyed blogging, but the blog that was about the British Council´s Learning English website was a bit boring.

I really enjoyed reading the blog that was about our hobbies, as I had fun seeing the photos of the things you guys did.

On the other hand, I think the blog was very useful to improve my English, by writing and reading in English I think I gained a lot of vocabulary that I didn't have before.  

Regarding the blog, I really liked that we could interact with each other through this website and comment on the blogs.

It was also great be able to customize an decorate the blog page. The only thing I didn't like was that at first it was very difficult to created an account on blogger, I even had to create a new gmail to create my blog. 

I don't think I would have preferred more academic writing, as the blog content we did this semester was fun to make and read, and I think it was good enough to learn more and improve my English.

Bye guys, see you next semester!

A Good Place to Eat

Hi guys!
Today I am going to write about a good place to eat in Santiago. This place is called Montana Gelato, it is located in the Lastarria neighborhood, very close to the FAU.

Last semester I went very often. My friends and I were going for ice cream after classes  at the university. Sometimes we went more than once a week.

I remember that once it was raining and none of us had umbrellas, we carried a cardboard over our heads and ran to the place so we could have some ice cream.

This semester I have only gone once. It was last week, my friend Kate and I, after classes, went to get ice cream before returning home.

About the place, I know that it is related to the Brussels Heart of Chocolate establishment and that their ice creams are delicious. Also the place fills up very often, even at night the place is full of people.

I really like going there because I can try all the ice cream I want and they also usually give away small samples, I also think it's great that they have vegan and sugar-free ice creams, there really are options for all kinds of taste.

My favorite dish is one called "Plain Yogurt with Unlimited Toppings". The Yogurt has a very smooth flavor that combines perfectly with the toppings. The best thing is that you can fill your yogurt with toppings as many times as you want. I like to add strawberries, mango, and chocolate chips.


Here you have a photo of my favorite dish!

London Webquest

Hello again!

Today I would like to write about which of the activities in London I would like to do.

Firstly, I would like to visit Kew Botanic Gardens, as I really like the flowers, greenhouses and beautiful landscapes I could see there.

Also, the activities that are usually done there make me think it would be a fun experience.



On the other hand, I would like to go to the National Gallery since it has an impressive art collection. Also, it would be great to see the beauty of the neoclassical building up close.

British Council Learning English Website


Hi guys

Today I did an activity on conditionals in English and I want to tell you how it went.

I really liked that the website provides information and gives examples about conditionals, which helps to better understand grammar. Also, about the interactive part, it's great that there was no time limit, because I was able to take a few seconds to think carefully what to answer.

There is only thing that I did not like and that is the organization of the contents since the definitions of zero, first and second condicional are positioned after the first grammar test, I think it would be better if all the information was given first.

I think this website is recommended for anyone learning English, because it offers everything from structured lessons to interactive activities, it even gives you the option to evaluate your progress through test and even gives you feedback.

I would definitely return to this website several more times because it has a wide variety of educational contents and activities, and I think it could help me improve both English vocabulary and fluency effectively.

Despite the organization of the content of this activity I give it 9.5/10 because its educational content is really good and its organization is not a big problem, just an observation.

If I had to summarize the experience at the British Council Learning English, I would say that it was "very enriching and effective in improving English language skills"


Here is a screenshot of the feedback from the grammar test
