In my second year, second semester, I started to feel nervous about how it was going to be learning pedagogy in English. This semester seemed very different from the previous ones. The topics were more difficult, and there were many new words that I had never seen before. Some subjects were completely new to me, and I didn’t understand them right away. When I first read the syllabus, I had to stop many times to look up words in the dictionary and try to understand the meaning. This process took a lot of time and made me feel frustrated. I started to worry about my future and if I would be able to pass the course.

Speaking in front of the class was another big challenge. When it was my turn to present, I often forgot the right words in English. I wanted to share my ideas clearly, but my mind would go blank. I became nervous, and my voice was very quiet and slow. My teachers used to tell me to practice more at home, which I tried to do, but I still felt like I was not making enough progress. Sometimes, it felt like I had lost the confidence I had built before.

Writing was also difficult for me. Reflections and reports took me a long time to complete because I made grammar mistakes and had trouble organizing my ideas. I wanted my writing to be correct, so I spent many hours trying to fix it.

Even with these problems, I decided not to give up. I started to ask my classmates for help and began watching videos about teaching in English to improve my listening and speaking. I know I need more practice, but I am motivated to keep learning and get better.

Thanks to be with me in this ride, see you next time <3

In my second year, first semester, I started to have some problems with learning pedagogy in English. The topics were more difficult than before, and there were many new words I didn’t understand. When I read the texts, I had to stop many times to look for the meaning of words. This made me feel a little frustrated.

I also had trouble when I had to speak in front of the class. I wanted to explain my ideas about something but sometimes I forgot the right words in English. I felt nervous, and I spoke very quietly. My teachers told me to practice more at home, but I still felt that I’m failing.

Another problem for me was writing reflections and reports. I made grammar mistakes, and it was hard to organize my ideas in English. I spent a lot of time trying to write correctly.

Even with these problems, I tried not to give up. I asked my classmates for help, and I started to watch videos about teaching in English to improve my listening and speaking. I know I need more practice, but I want to keep learning and get better.

Sylvia Earle was called a “Hero for the Planet” by Time magazine. She’s an oceanographer, explorer, author, and lecturer.

Sylvia Earle is one of the world’s most famous marine scientists and a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence. She loves to go diving in the ocean. She has spent a lot of her life both  in and under the waves. Earle has led more than a hundred expeditions and she set a record for solo diving in 1,000-metre deep water. In total, she has spent more than 7,000 hours underwater.
Earle describes the first time she went to the ocean: ‘I was three years old and I got knocked over by a wave. The ocean certainly got my attention! It wasn’t frightening, it was thrilling. And since then I have been fascinated by life in the ocean.’
In the past, Earle was the chief scientist of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the USA. Now one of her jobs is with Google Earth’s Ocean. Earle’s special focus is on developing a global network of areas on the land and in the ocean. This network will protect and support the living systems that are important to the planet. She explains why this is important: ‘When I first went to the Gulf of Mexico in the 1950s, the sea looked like a blue infinity. It seemed to be too large and too wild to be damaged by the action of people.  Then, in a few decades, not thousands of years, the blue wilderness of my childhood disappeared. By the end of the 20th century, about 90 percent of the sharks, tuna, turtles, whales and many other large creatures had disappeared from the Gulf. They had been there for millions of years.’
Some people don’t understand why the ocean is so important to life on Earth. Earle explains that ‘the ocean is the foundation of our life support system. The ocean is alive. The living things in the ocean generate oxygen and take up carbon. If we don’t have the ocean, we don’t have a planet that works.’
The Gulf of Mexico has had many problems, especially after the Deepwater Horizon Oil disaster of 2010, but Earle says, ‘In 2003 I found positive signs in clear, deep water far from the mouth of the Mississippi River. It was full of life. Large areas of the Gulf are not damaged. Protecting the most important places will be good for the future of the Gulf and for all of us.’
