Hi, Today i will talk about my experience writing in this blog. I enjoyed it a lot. Benjy, our teacher, was a very good partner who always helped to improve writing and vocabulary details during the course, improving our skills in the process. The experience was a good way to let the imagination flow and allow myself some licences.  There were times when i got complicated because i could not find the right words or thinking about articulating the sentences well, but in general it was a good moment where all the knowledge of  grammar learned had to be applied. Sometimes it was good in other not so much but it was a good method to exercise and make the writing conscious. At the end of the course i feel that i got a better level and improved a lot. Maybe in the future it would be good to include themes more specific about Chile, it would be a good way to learn words more closely at our culture, thinking in own particularity and possibilities to teach and learn, too. ...
