English Language Challenges

Wow! My experience learning English at university has been very similar to my classes in the school if we talk about chairs, but the big difference is the “blogs”. I never imagined that one day I must write every week different topics about my life (since experiences at the university to my holidays) and the worst part is when my partners read my words and comment :( (I’m very shameful).

For me write blogs is a very useful way of the language because permit express all of your ideas and also is very important because is common that the people can read in English but not many people know how write. In the beginning in English 3, write blogs with 180-200 words was very difficult and I remember that always I finished at last ones but now is more easier write even 250 words.  I know that my grammatic is not perfect but that is a great reason for continue realizing blogs.



Like I said, my grammatic is not perfect and that is because I’m still learning and apart of write, read books, magazines (between others) in English can help me to get better.  Also, I consider that see different Tv series in English show me pronunciation and how I can express my words.
In my job is very important talk a little of English because some people (visitors) don’t talk Spanish and I can give them the indications in their language.
Anyway know other languages is very important for one if you travel and most important for the culture.

Summer Holidays

Like I said before, for me the summer holidays are the perfect time to relax our mind and enjoy the free time with your friends and family, maybe in the beach or in your own home. 

All summers I travel with my family and cousins to different places of Chile but in the last 2 holidays all of us travelled to the beach but every family in their own house. This situation was very funny because my cousins or I were going to the other home and we eaten all day and in the afternoon relaxing in the beach was the best plan.  

Well for these summer holidays I don’t have any plan but my family think in travel to Austral Road only if the time of vacations of each one coincides.  I hope very anxious this moment because this panorama is really beautiful and I dream with the “The Marble Chapels” and see the turquoise in the walls of the chapels.

                                       

                                                           " Marble Chapels"

If this travel is not possible another option is go to Villarrica and one activity that I consider unique is trekking the volcano.  Maybe is difficult and require a good physical condition but the reward is the beautiful see at the top of volcano.   

     Also in Villarrica exist canopy in “Pino Huacho” with a distance of 2.3Km and a height of 115m.  Near this city in Coñaripe you have Terms with warm and healthy waters.

I need summer holidays after my first year in the university and all my meetings and responsibilities during the year. 

Addiction: From Tea and Coffee to Drugs of Abuse

Always we see in the news different reports about drugs and many times the impact of this reports is because show many teenagers consuming marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, between others.

For me the marijuana, for example, is not bad only if doesn't exist an abuse in their consume because everything in excess is harmful for the health.  Many people use the marijuana for medical purposes and prepare infusions, cake. 

Another people have an addiction with the alcohol and that in extreme cases have a negative effect in the comportment of the person  like  be more aggressive, less patient, and the sense of alert down notoriously. Is for the last reason that the people that consumed a lot of  alcohol don't should drive because is really imprudent and exist a big possibility to cause an accident.  Many people die every year run over for a alcoholic driver. In other cases the moderate consume of alcohol produce in the people happiness and with that a very pleasurable ambient. The people make jokes, talk about their life, take pictures and express many feelings. 

 At last example can be the use of morphine. Always we listen the use of morphine in the health area but no many people know about the incorrect use of this. I remember when my sister had a grave

 surgery and pass many days in the clinic with morphine. In the beginning she didn't use that and   when the people came to see her, she says in form of joke " saw I push this bottom and give me a little of morphine" but  when the nurses note that, goes to the room intermediately and  really concerned for  that my sister apply morphine very often and she thinks that my sister had much pain. 

Obviously after that, the nursery established a exact quantity of morphine to my sister. 

 The problem with this is that other people use the morphine with no medical uses (or in excess if is used for the health) and how I said before "everything in excess is bad". 

Post Graduate Studies

 For me the courses of Master Degree and PhD degree are really important because give us a chance for acquire new knowledge’s and perfect another’s. Also if you course any of these programs you will win a lot of experience and contact networks, which is very important today.  No matter the subject selected, have a Master Degree or PhD degree increases the possibility of be hired in a job and the pay.

I would like study in other country but not for something specific, rather it’s because the development abroad is more than here in Chile.  This is for the innovation with new technologies for example, and also by the invested capital in the science in general.

If you ask me if I can study a distance, my answer would be… mmm yes, but I prefer a part-time course, in which I can assist personally to the class. Obviously the distance learning is not bad, you can make a lot of things from your house or desk and you save a lot of time lost in transport for one place to another.   I had never heard about “blended system” and all in all is a really good option for example if you don’t have the sufficient money to live in other country.

Well, the Master Degree and PhD degree are benefits for our experience and noticeably for the professional title. 

My future job

When I was a child always thought in my future job. I wanted to be a chef, police, nutritionist, kinesiologist, teacher, and a lot of other jobs but I never imagined my future like a chemist.  Today in the university, I discovered that my dream is be a chemist. 

One time with my degree in hand, I would like work in the Police of Investigation but no like a police, I would love to be part of the analysing of different types of evidences like rests of blood, cloth, bullets, weapons, between others. Also another techniques can be footprint       analysis, drugs tests, search fingerprints, analysis of biological samples (urine, gastric contents) and hair.


In other words, I imagine my future job in any place relationated with the forensic chemistry because thanks of this part of the chemistry, the police and different organisms judicial can solve a crime.

Even though my future starts in Chile, I hope travel to other country but not only for meet new places, my goal is work in that place and realize my life. For this, it’s really necessary a good salary, maybe in the beginning could be very difficult but I’m sure with effort and perseverance everything is possible!


Always I say to my friends: “Follow your dreams and you will very happy”. 

Old and New Hobbies

Many people have a lot of hobbies and know exactly which are, but for me that question is very difficult L

One of my favourite hobbies is play a videogame called “The sims 2”.  During all my childhood I played this game with my sister (sometimes we played for hours) and today when I don’t have anything to do I play like a kid.  My sister plays with me only when she doesn’t work.

In this videogame you can create your own families and obviously, you have to care them.    I remember when I was a child I didn’t care my family and all of them died for hungry.

Another hobby is play “Dance central 3” in Xbox 360.  All weeks I play this because the game has good songs to dance and good choreographies.  Some people say it’s a good way to do exercise and I have to say that is true only if you play a long time.  Also, apart of this I dance hip-hop with a group of people and realize that makes me very happy.  The dance in general is my favourite hobby.

Finally but not less important, I enjoy very much when I see different series like House of Cards, Prison Break, Criminal minds.  

Our Amazing Human Body

I think that all of senses, substances, organs and systems are important in the life of human, but today I like to talk about the first.

The sight, the taste, the touch, hearing and the sense of smell. They are all of senses of the human being and for me, these characteristics are really essential in the life because thanks to them you can appreciate the world in a different way.

Sometimes, I don’t eat in different places to my house because I don’t like the smell or the appearance, and that thought is only for the sense of the sight and the smell.  I still try to eat and just in that moment appears the taste.  A lot of times I was surprised with the real taste of the food.

Maybe for other people the senses are not important but we can’t see this until we need them.  Many kids and adults don’t have the sense of hearing and in the beginning, the life it’s complicated because the people don’t worry about and are really individualistic.

With such a simple examples, we can see how the senses and the mind are really powerful and important in our decisions.

Remember always think in the other people, maybe you can help them !!!
