Level 3 - Post 2 (week 4) > Expectations for a New Semester

Write about:

- the subjects you are doing this term
- extracurriculars you are taking
- other activities that you are part of  at university
- what you expect from this new academic period

wordcount: 110 (minimum)


This term I'm studying several subjects like, for example, History of Ideas, Statistics and Latin American Political History. They're all very interesting, but Statistics is really hard for me and I'm not getting good grades. I think I'll have to study harder.

I have to take English and other extracurricular courses and I'm really enjoying my tennis class. It's a lot of fun. I also participate in Radio Inapina and teach at the Victor Jara Preuniversitario. It's awesome!

I expect to learn more English so I can communicate with my facebook friends in the United States. I want to pass Statistics and really understand it. I also expect to learn a lot in my new classes and help a lot of people who want to study but don't have the means.
That's all. Bye!!

SAMPLE POST

Hi, my name is Rodrigo Suárez and I'm your English teacher in charge of this blog. Let me tell you somethings about myself. I was born on July 6th, 1971 in Santiago. Early on, my family left Chile to live abroad. I spent my elementary school years in Germany, England and the United States. I completed my high school here in Chile. I went to The English Institute and Colegio del Alba. My parents separated in 1987 so I lived with my mom and my brother Fernando in Providencia until I left home to live by myself. I have worked as an English teacher for many years, most of them at Instituto Chileno-Norteamericano. What about hobbies? Well, I love reading and playing the guitar. Right now, I'm taking classes with a friend who is a guitar master. I also like to write poetry and short stories. I might publish a book soon. One of my favorite activities is to go to a café and drink coffee while I talk with friends about books, movies or politics. See you!!
