My name is Nicole, I am 22 years old and I am chilean. I was born in Cabildo, Valparaíso and I lived in this city until I was 18, then I moved to Santiago to study arquitecture. My family in my dad's side belongs to the original Mapuche people. I am the older sister of two brothers and one sister, Victor, Santiago and Sarita. During my school years I played many sports such as basketball, table tennis and handball. The only sport I didn't play was volleyball because I find it a bit boring. Another of my favorite hobbies at school was drawing. One of my favorite hobbies now in the university is playing futsal and try new food. My biggest dream is to be able to travel and see many not so common places like the North of Rusia or Siberia.

 In theory, I think I started learning English since I had the curiosity to start listening to music on my own. At school I had English since first grade but I was never good, in fact I had very bad grades (lol). I remember that I always really liked listening to music and in fourth grade I asked my mother to buy me an mp4 where I placed endless folders with songs mainly in English, so I was curious to know and understand what the lyrics said by looking for them translated. To Spanish. I think it was where I actually began to become familiar with English, not necessarily. What is easiest for me is to listen and understand what they are telling me in English, especially under pressure. But what is most difficult for me is speaking in English, it gives me a kind of mental block and I don't know how to express everything fluently. Although I practice very little, I still look for the translations and lyrics of my favorite songs so I can learn them in English. In fact, the funniest...

My Cultural Radar (Part 1)

 In the section that I chose, the actress Ruth Madeley talks about cultural apects such as a books, where she talks about the bravery of Britney Spears, her favorite bar in Manchester, about a Netflix documentary about John Gotti, a multimedia project with representations of things like the climate change and the acidification of the oceans on peoples bodies, about Victoria Jenkins, a designer who makes fashion accessible to everyone, a horror film The Puppet Asylum and finally talks about the television presenter Sophie Morgan, a user in a wheelchair who travels around the world and fights for the wheelchair passengers who travel by plane. For me, the section that interested me the most was the fashion section, which talks about clothing that is custom made for people who use wheelchairs, have colostomy bags, or need specific materials. I  think it is important to include people with different situations and contexts in every possible area, especially in fashion and clothing ...

A Book

 A book that I would like to recommend is El Tunel written by the Argentine writer, painter and physicist Ernesto Sabato. I remember reading it when I was 17 in the summer. This book was recommended to me by a friend from school who is a passionate reader and always shares with me what he is reading. I must say that at first it didn't catch my attention much, but after reading it I was fascinated. In this psychological novel, Sabato immerses us in the mind of a murderer, a mentally ill person, a man blinded by his desires and insecurities that are cooked in that Pandora's box known as the mind, who executes hurtful actions disguised as love. I think one of the aspects that I liked the most was that as the story develops you sometimes doubt what is real or if what is happening is in the protagonist's mind. I highly recommend reading it if you like more psychological novels.
