There are several elements that I must to weigh in to choose a job, but to me the most important thing is always the salary.

I don’t care much about the field that I will have to work; in journalism one should be able to develop any topic. Although, music and sports are my favorite themes to work; in spite of it I think will work in the economy section in El Mercurio, because the salary projections that this field provides are very good.

I work since I had 13 years old and I know that there's not a perfect job. I think that every job exists only to win money and if you make more money, it is better. Your life begins after work, your holidays, your days off… if you can have a good time in your job, it’s good, but to me it is more important if I have money to have fun with my family or my friends in my free time.

I don’t want to be misunderstood I don’t think that the money can make me happy, but I am sure  that  there are many problem that everyday prevent us from having a fun moment and these problems can be solved if you have enough money.

Last week I had to go to an interview with Juan Jaime Díaz, assistant manager of El Mercurio and my editor's boss, I was very nervous, but in spite of it I think that my answers were pretty good, although I must recognize that my English is very bad I had the opportunity to show my personality, my willingness to work and to learn from the  experience  in El Mercurio.
Breaking news... they called me and I am beginning on January 2th.

Well, unfortunately I realize that english is very difficult to me, I try to practice my english, but the rythm of the class is faster than me. However, I know that is my responsibility, I would like to learn english, but I didn’t have many time this semester.

To be honest, I like english but I am not ready to devote more time to it. Sometimes I think that I should search some intensive course but I don’t have money either.  I am lost.

I know that the teacher is not to blame, but the schedule to the class is very uncomfortable to me and to my classmates. 

Anyway, I need to learn English and to do that I need arranged my times, but now I can’t. This year, this semester was very very difficult to me. The subjects are more complicated and the real life don´t help me so much. 

Yesterday I went to the job interview, I felt very stupid when the other applicants said that they knew to speak English.

I want to work in El Mercurio, the true is that they accepted me, but now I think that I don’t like to be in disadvantage. I have always understood all subjects, but the English is another world to me.   Usually, in this class, I felt like a stupid person, is very frustrating.  

Also, I think that if I want to learn always are some things that prevent me. The money, the time, my attitude, I think that I must to overcome it.

A way to do this can be to practice my English outside the classroom, now, I must to found with whom.  Can’t be so difficult.
