English Language Challenges

English Language Challenges

  

 First of all, I really like english. I would like to have more hours at week dedicated to this language, but I don't like the British english, oh no! I would like to talk "Spanglish", Of course I can't even imagine a course of it (LOL) but we already talk spanish so it combined with a good english, we can speak a new language like that, the spanglish.

  But to get it, we should to give more importance to this subject, as I said on the last post, we should have more hours and more days at weeks. 

Personally, I like this mix between English and Spanish because it has relish, yes! Latino as me, as Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, etc.. Of course, this last one looks more like an american (LOL) so I like JLO ! 

    However, that's another item. About Enlish at this University, I like the video's system and the blog's system, yes, I think it helps us a lot ( and even more that a written test). Of course, we are at the end of the year and sometimes we forget to post or to send the video (so sad), but I speak for all when I say I prefer this that a test. 

     I use English Everyday, because of I practice my spanglish with friends who are living in Miami and Puerto Rico (Yes, I dream with go there, someday..you know, I have the Relish jajaja)  

English programme: Improving the learning experience

English programme: Improving the learning experience 

First of all, I think that a semester (six months as it must to be) should be enought for a level of english but is IMPOSSIBLE that with only three hours at week we could learn a language it all. Considering that those three hours are never three hours in real (because of the breaks/ dead minutes at the start and the end of the class, etc). Besides, we only have this subject two days at week (one and a half hours every class. But we don't really use all that time). So, yes, one semester it's OK, but please! one hour at monday and one hour at friday? ..  Is the same for every language (not native, of course), english, french, german, etc. 

  About thecnology.. well, it is okay but it would be better if it'd be used. I mean, We should use more radio (listening), to talk between us more,  to read more (to know new words in english, more difficult concept that we'll use for sure if we travel to USA/England/UK/ etc..). But we have a classroom and that's right and the faculty facilities are right too, I can't say otherwise :D .

   Finally, About the teaching methods, I like the video's system! I like doing videos (even if I forget to send it all the time, so sad). But I like it, I like it more than making a writting test (LOL) . I would like to interact more, I mean " teacher<--->students" (the most of the class) . But it's ok, I know that some people don't like to talk in front of the class so I respect that, but I would like to talk more with the teachers in class. 

   

Sport Journalism : A butcher's street

 

The worked field of journalism is very limited, but the one of  sport's journalism. More specifically, soccer, is a word almost impossible to be in, even more for a woman (a blonde woman, ok? ) .
    It's like to walk on a butcher's street !! Personally, I wanna work on T.V and my focus is on the TOP, I mean I won't settle being the girl who read the "twitters" (yes, hashtags and twitts of a players or even the post of a wife's player) NO WAY!. I won't be satisfied until be the girl on the front of the camera commenting and analyzing a match, showing all I know, my skills.
   I think that T.V should be renewed, is a shame there are  still the same big (and old) figures talking about the same old concepts of soccer. The same people talking about the same sh... same things.
   But the worst part is that those people , who don't even studied the career, don't allow new people on T.V and even on radio (the classic radios). But hey! I don't mean that no one can be in, in this last time we have seen new faces on T.V like "Grace Lazcano", but of course, I don't want to open the debate about maleness on this (flour of another bag).
  However, as we don't have "extra help", we must to start from... well, from the start. I mean, how it supposed to be.
 Will it be hard? yes, of course, but I'll get it for sure!!

postgraduate course

  Is not a mistery that I want to dedicate my life to became in the best sport's commentator, analyst and, of course, journalist. But that way won't be easy and I cant base my comments on what I hear and what people talk about the match, NO! I must to have a solid foundation and a critical arguments about tactical and technical  system's. That is not ease, that isn't something that you learn listening the radio or watching T.V shows about soccer.
  To become in who I wanna be I must to do the Coach's Course and learn topycs as the "team managment", systems as the 4-4-2 (my favorite), 3-5-2, 4-3-3 ..etc .
 I hope I would study this on the INAF, because The soccer Technician, or coach, graduated from the INAF has a wealth of knowledge, skills and abilities that enable him to perform efficiently in the formative and competitive work of male and female soccer, amateur and professional. The comprehensive technical training would acquired enable me to integrate multidisciplinary work teams and make logical and safe decisions in my specialty.
Maybe I will be working so I will study part-time or in a nightly time. Yes, It will be difficult but I'll get it for sure!!

my dream job 

When I was a child, may eight or nine years old, I descovered I liked to talk on public, my teacher made me did it on the stage of my old school, and then realized that I was (and still I'm) in love with the stages and, now, with camera.

    I wanted to be someone, to be somebody in the world, to mark a difference but I didn't know how.
    I thought on be a supermodel, but I wasn't tall. To become in a singer, but I didn't know to sing. I danced for about six years, I liked a lot  and I don't know why but it wasn't my way.
   The journalism capted my attention one or may two months before of the PSU and I mixed my pleasure for this career and all I knew (and I keep learning) about soccer. Not just the passion that someone feels at the stadium. I mean the science of soccer, the tactic's systems and all that shit haha
(sorry).
    When I started this lovely career (the first day), my teacher said this University highlights for the redaction so you have to write write and write.. well, I don't have a problem with it, but I was made for something else, that's not my way.
    My dream job is, no doubt, T.V.. that's my way, I know that and I won't stop until got it. Now I am on a radio,really two,  sport's radios. And I like it, yes, I feel good but not satisfied it all.
    I dream everyday by myself working on CDF, FOXSPORT or ESPN! in front of the camera, OUTDOOR of course! and travel a lot around the world working on a FIFA WORLD CUP (someday..well is a dream, ok?) . and I try to ignore all that shit like "soccer is about men", "you're just a woman", "you can't", "You've never played", etc.. I don't care anythng, you know why? Because I have a dream and everyday I fell closer from it.

1-4-4-2 : The best tactical system ever

When we talk about soccer’s tactic, we can ignore the best system (on my opinión) “1-4-4-2”. Teams like the Brasilian and England’s football selections used it on the FIFA WORLD CUP 1966 and now it i son the top of the tactic’s manual because it combines a defensive and offensive approach.

  This is the typical alignment with four defenders, four midfield players and two forwards. The midfields support the offensive and deffensive line, stopping the advance or projection of the rival and generate attack’s choice to conect with the forwards.

The sidemen ( midfield players with a wide tour of the bands) have the roll of open the game for the both bands.

  The best of this system’s the versatility, for example, If we have the 4 midfielders in parallel to the defense it means more players to stop the rival game. In this case we can change to a 1-4-3-1-2, creating a kind of rhomb on the middle. To get it, one of the midfields has to up and writhe a rhomb with the other midfield (down) and the two sideman.

Conversely, In a 1-4-4-2 with defensive’s midfields we can find a an impenetrable Wall.

In everycase, the most important in a team when  attacks and defends is to return to its lines quickly.

The tactic of "touching" it is key to be able to create plays tried and tested

The perfect place..

My best Hollidays was in 2016, I went to Bucalemu with my parents just for the weekend. Yes, it wasn’t a loto f time but it was special because, first of all my mom hates to travel and my dad hates to drive for hours and hours, but they did it because of I wanted to know the Bucalemu’s beach. They got fun as children playing on the sea, then my mom sunbathed, but without sunscreen!!!! It was eally really fun (for me and my dad, of course).

   I took a lot of pictures, now I only have one (left) but it doesn’t matter because I saved that memories on my mind. For example,about the picture.. my parents don't like pictures so my mom was taking it and my dad was giving me the instructions to get the "perfect scene". It was really crazy and funny, because not always hear your father saying things like "a few at the right,yes, yes, perfect! "  .

     I know that it doesn't look like a professional picture but it reminds me that moment, that perfect moment where nothing really cares, no study, not santiago, no drama.

I remember when I touched the sand and  I ran so exited to get the best wave, it was so funny because when I was so close from the water, a man with a  green vest put a a sign of "danger!, Fragata Portuguesa". Then he came to me and said "you can't be here, go away from the water". Of course, my parents and me went away but then we went back to the beach, sorry but it was not on our plans to be on the sand all day. 

A Dream Comes True.. 
  



When we talk about the future, we usually talk about plans and dreams but I am not that kind of person, I prefer to talk about concrets proyects or even not to think about it, I prefer to propose me a goal and work everyday in order to get it real. And it works for me.
   For example, when I was young I used to watch me (on my mind) with a microphone in the middle of the stadium.. and I get it, yes I did. 
  I used to dream with myself on a radio, my mom and all my family listening to me on stereo talking about soccer, about the tactic's systems, about a match knowing both teams and his technical's team. To know the difference between a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3, etc. And I did it. Yes, it was difficult, it is everyday, but I did it anyway because one day when I was a child I dream it and I swore myself that I didn't stop until I get it.
Of course, my goal to future is the T.V !! CDF, Fox sports or ESPN and here I'm working for it. Not vacations, Not breaks, Not sleep. because as I always say "The difference is on the one who sleep and the one who dream".
Sometimes I get tired, yes, sure! the most of the time I am tired but I don't stop because I don't need vacations. I created a life where I don't even need them, I like what I do, I like to give the sport's news everyday and going to the stadium and analize the matches added to the university and all that social's drama.
I am really in love with my life ad what I do, and everyday I work about it because this is not just a rutine, this is a Dream Comes True.
