Something about me

My name is Lorena Olivares, I am Chilean and I am studying English at Universidad de Playa Ancha, I am a third year student in the ELT programme and I am very happy with what I have learned, most of all because the different cultures have always interested me, specially English culture.

I haven’t had the oportunity to travel to a foreing country where English is the first languaje, actually the only country that I have travelled to, is Argentina. Before I was born my parents travelled to Argentina and they became close friends with a married couple, who later became my godparents, then my parents returned to Chile, despite this, we have always had a strong bond  and I visit them every year since I was a child, of course in those years I had no interest in knowing things about a different country, but as I was growing old I noticed that six hours away from my home there was a completely different culture, people who spoke the same languaje with a different accent, who used different words (words that didn’t even exist in my country) and that openned my mind to a bigger world and I started imagining that farther from my home there must be hundreds of thousands ways of living and that’s what really captured my mind.
