Hi bloggers: When I was at school I used to dream about becoming a simultaneous interpreter at the United Nations in New York, since I 've always enjoyed learning foreign languages and, mainly because I was only 16 years old at that time. So my decision was crystal clear , I had to study Translation at Universidad Católica - the only place to study it at that time. However, 3 months before taking the test , the career was closed. I was devastated because that was my only option. Finally , I decided to enter English Teaching and then change to Translation internally. I was admitted , BUT to change to Translation was almost impossible. Then , after getting depressed, a teacher helped me to understand that I had to go on with teaching, since a teacher can do both things: translating and teaching, whereas a translator can't work as a teacher. From then on, I started enjoying this career. I think I've been successful with it and can do both activities without any problems. What about you? What were your dream jobs when you were a child? Did you have any other options that you had at the moment of applying to university? What made you decide in the end? What about your experience at university until now? What kind of job would you like to have in the future? Use 130 words and don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates' blogs and also your teacher's. See you.

Post 1 : My autobiography
Hi bloggers: How is it going today? Fine? Good! Today we're going to start blogging and I hope you enjoy it just as I do. Well, the blog we have for this week is to write about yourselves, that is, an autobiography. I can say that personally, I was born in Santiago a veeery looong time ago. I studied my primary and secondary school in religious schools. Later I entered Universidad Catolica , where I graduated as a teacher of English and finished a Master in Linguistics some years later. My family is very small: just my mum and a younger sister, who is a journalist. My father died some years ago . My main hobbies are swimming, travelling, watching films, reading and clubbing with some friends. What about you? Include information about your birth, studies, family, hobbies and any other information you consider important. Use 120 words minimum and don't forget to make comments on three of your classmates' blogs. C U.
