If you ask me how it was learning English on the university, I must recognize that it was very useful for me. In the university you must read and learn from many English texts because the new information these days is in this language, so it’s necessary. Before, I needed to translate all the text in English that I had to read for a test and I lost so much time in this with help from a translate web dictionary (that are not very good), so I didn´t have time to learn all that I needed to study.
The English class might be considered as a subject that it is not important for the carrier of Veterinary Medicine, but this is not true. Most of the new investigations that appear are written in English, because most investigators speak in English or the institutions for investigation have English for a language. Also all the biggest singers, scientist, politics, or important people speak this language and not always the TV or magazines had subtitles or translation. So if you don’t want to stay behind in new information of animals, you need to learn and understand the most popular language in the world.
In my opinion, the English´s classes were more interactive this time. I think that it was a great idea to put controversial topics in conversations every class. This tool pushed us to speak and express us in English. Sometimes we made mistakes or we didn´t know how to express our ideas, so the explaining of the teachers helped me so much. Also I liked that we had to do some exercises or read some themes related with the carrier so we all can speak about them. I think that the most useful tool was the blog, because I could improve so much writing and learning vocabulary.
I took English class because I needed to improve and check this language for many reasons, for example, to understand some classes, to learn from texts in English, to understand some dialogues in TV or songs, and the most important reason, because some people ask me “what does it say?” and I really don’t know. I think that it was so embarrassing because it´s suppose to be that a student that had years learning English should know very well English. I know that I need to improve more, but I think that the most important thing is to apply the things that I learned because I know that I if I don´t I will forget it all.
