Blog 7: Music


Hi everyone!

I hope everybody is fine. Today I will tell you about my favorite musical artist!

Farrokh Bulsara, better known as Freddie Mercury, was born on September 5, 1946 in Stone Town, Zanzibar, Tanzania. He was a British singer, songwriter, pianist, graphic designer and musician of Parsi and Indian origin, known for having been the main vocalist of the rock band Queen.

As a performer, he has been recognized for his powerful voice and outlandish stagings. As a composer, he wrote many of Queen's hits. My favorite songs are: Killer Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions, Don't Stop Me Now, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, It's a Hard Life or Innuendo.


In addition, in the eighties he launched his solo career, which led him to publish two albums, Mr. Bad Guy (1985) and Barcelona (1988), the latter in collaboration with the Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé. The self-titled single, a collaboration between the two, was the official song of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Unfortunately, he died of bronchopneumonia complicated by AIDS on November 24, 1991, just a day after officially communicating that he suffered from the latter disease. In 2006, Time Asia magazine named him as one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past sixty years, and Allmusic defined Mercury as "one of the most charismatic and dynamic leaders in rock history."

Blog 8: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hi everyone ✌✌✌ This week I will tell you about the experience and challenge of learning English. The online classes were very good. Each class contained current topics, be they political or social. This modality gives more enthusiasm to learn a new language. On the other hand, I like the use of blogs, since one can practice writing and modify the way of thinking and writing in English. I think blogging should continue to be used as a learning tool. I have to be honest ... I really don't like English as a language. I would like the university to give us the opportunity to choose which language to study. I don't like the idea that English is the universal language, leaving other languages ​​relegated as a second or third category. Despite this, learning English at university has been a great challenge for me. I find it difficult to acquire vocabulary, manage verb tenses, pronunciation, etc. Despite all these drawbacks, I think I have made progress. Today I can speak with...

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
Hello everyone again. This week I will tell you about a postgraduate course that I will study in the future. Since I entered university, I have been thinking about continuing to study. Sometimes I say no and sometimes I do, hahaha. Although I am not sure about this topic, I end up convincing myself that I should study something more and deepen my knowledge. During these university years, several of my compulsory courses, electives, and academic practices have revolved around social issues found in the public sphere. Thanks to these actions, I have been able to investigate in the areas of sexual diversity, feminism, gender, indigenous peoples, racism and migration. Therefore, I would like to obtain a postgraduate degree in one of these areas. Despite having all the enthusiasm, I don't think that next year or in 2022, I will start studying a postgraduate degree. This is for two reasons: 1) I think about the idea that you should acquire a little knowledge in the workplace and th...
