Sophia's English Class

Hello Friends, today I’m going to tell you about my favorite subject although it’s a little difficult to decide for one in particular because there are specific things that I like about each one but if I have to choose one, I choose Basic Psychological Processes because I feel it’s a very complete subject for many reasons. This subject examines theoretical background and results of research in motivation, emotion and cognition, understood as interrelated psychological processes that contribute to explain the behavior of the human being in a given situation. The reasons why I like basic psychological processes is because the topics that are treated in classes are very interesting and it doesn’t deal with ambiguous things, instead of this, it deals with things that can be applied to daily life for example the relation between parents and children or the goals that we put in daily life. In addition to the topics that are taught, I like that the academic load is not too much beca...

Hi Friends, in this post I'll tell you about muy favorite photo. I love this picture because is one of the most beautiful places that I know. This picture is from a part of Valparaiso, Concepcion hill.  It brings me many beautiful memories because my brother lives there and every time I went to visit him I fell in love with the landscape. I love the hills, the colors of the houses and walls, the graffitis, the sea view, the port, the “troles”, and the people. There, the people look happier that in Santiago, they are kinder and more supportive. Also I like that It have a hard and difficult history, and I’m proud of the way that people can overcome adversities such as fires. This photo makes me imagine a colorful and happy world where people can breathe easy and live in peace I think that everybody should go to Valparaiso because it is a city that will impress you with its beautiful landscapes and street art.

Hi Friends! Today I’m going to tell you about the things I missed last year. I get up two days in the week at five o’clock because I live in a city that is two hours from Santiago, is so exhausting to travel four hours a day.   I would like my house to be much closer to the university to have more time for myself, to rest and sometimes to study . I miss taking 15 minutes to get home, like when I went to school, Life was much prettier when I had time to do idle things .   I miss coming out of school early and coming to my house to watch movies and eat with my friends. Now I almost always leave the university late and most of the time I have to study for some subject.   Finally I hope you have more free time for yourself.
