My experience

 Hello guys! Today I am going to talk about my experience using the blog. Well, English always was a subject interesting for me, because it’s something that makes me feel near of the culture of other countries, but I have to say that I’ve never been so good in it.

 For that reason this opportunity to practice this language in a way more didactic was a very good activity to me, obviously in the first posts, having to write my ideas in a language different was a bit difficult and getting used to “think in English” (and honestly,  even after ten post it’s difficult to me organize me and do it).

I feel that after this activity I improved my knowledge of English, and I say skills because I feel that doing all this post I could learn more words, improve my grammar and make easier to talk about any topic. I know that my English is even so poor, but this activity make me feel a little bit more confident of my knowledge.  If I could suggest something, I think that this activity must include more posts with more free topics, because through this activity we could think in other things not related with the subjects of the university and all these things. Finally, I only could say that maybe in the future write a blog not for an obligation could be a good option to make something different and escape from all the stress of the university.

Think green!

Hello friends, today I’m going to talk about how green I’m.  Well, the people often to read and to learn through hands and brochures that tell you how to care for the environment, yet people still does not realize the damage they do to the planet and continue polluting. I usually use the recycling bins that are in the university. In my house nobody recycle because we don’t have the habit.  To transport me, I prefer to walk or bike. When I go to the university I do not usually go cycling since I live far away and I would take long to arrive. I have never joined any eco-organizations because I have not had the opportunity, on the other hand I do not have much time because of the university, and perhaps in the summer I can do.

I would like to join any environmental group to plant trees, since on the one hand reduce carbon, from the atmosphere, and the other It give us fresh air and oxygen.

To reduce my carbon footprint, I try to reuse bags, do not spend too much paper, to walk instead of going by bus when I'm near a place, to use sprays that do not harm the ozone layer and I don’t use wood stoves.

Santiago people lacks informs more about this topic and become aware the damage they do to the planet with smaller shares. If all we cooperate, it would greatly reduce environmental pollution, the greenhouse effect and damage to the ozone layer,  that global warming would not be a problem today.

My favorite subject

Hello friends, today I’m going to talk about my favorite subject this semester.

Well, this year my favorite subject is “Diagnostic”. This class helps us to integrate all the scientific knowledge necessary to make a correct clinical diagnosis. For this you must know the mechanisms by which the disease occurs and then apply it to our future patients. In this subject we see areas such as physiology, semiology, pathophysiology, biochemistry , anatomy, microbiology and others.

Not all subjects have the same complexity, there are some more difficult than others. In my opinion the pathophysiology is one of the most complicated to understand but at the same time is very entertaining, you must know the physiological mechanisms of the body , how to recognize when they are altered and then bind them to a pathology . Other stuff that I like is semiology, in which through the signs and symptoms of the patient are able to make a diagnosis. This subject is taught by many teachers and the coordinator of this is the dean of “Facultad de odontología, Univesidad de Chile” Dr. Gamonal.

  

I enjoy learning about the disease and I think it is necessary to be a successful professional in the future. I hope I can remember everything or most things when I become dentistry since that will depend the health of my patients.

Practice!

 I think that compulsive spenders are a common kind of people, because in our country we are continuously exposed to publicity, and we are socially pressed to buy many kind of things to fulfill our empty needs for material stuff. I think that the existence of compulsive spenders is a bad thing to our world because they buy things that they don’t need, they change every year their stuff for the new model, creating a big waste of material that degrades our environment. 

Actually in the dental profession we have many troubles to face including the high prices in the treatments to our patients and materials we have to buy, in difference to other professions, we have to buy huge quantity of materials and instruments, and continuously buy all kind of supplies. In Chile, the dental care is expensive and almost a luxury to the common people, the government doesn’t finance it through FONASA like in the medical practice.

Hello! Today I’m going to talk about summer plans.

In the summer I like to travel south of Chile, know the beautiful landscapes that the country and of course know different cultures.

I would like to go to the tower of Paine, because many people have told me it is a beautiful and very relaxing. I love nature and I think the south of our country has everything you need to escape the stress of the city. On the other hand I also would like to go to places where they can do extreme sports like rafting or canopy. I think that perform this type of activity is liberating and exciting.

In the holidays I also like to go to see my family. They live in the region octave exactly in the city of “Nacimiento”.  I love going there because I entertain a lot with my cousins, ride to horse, go to the river and walking at night. My uncle has many racehorses, which are beautiful. I like to accompany him to give food and water to the horses.

Another place I like is the beach. Every summer going to the beach a few days, either "Viña del Mar" or "Reñaca". Usually I tend to take lots of sun because I like to be very tanned, and I do not like to get much water because it is very cold the seawater.

Finally I would like to say that I also would  like to travel abroad but I think I should first know the wonderful places in my country and then to travel around the world.

PET

The most difficult skill for me is the listenning.

The listenning has been always very difficult for me, because is very hardly for me to understand the pronunciation. It's very different to hear something in English more than writing. Most of the time only understand half of what I heard and very badly. 

The easiest thing for me is to write in english because I think very well what I say and if I do not know a word, I look at the internet.

My friends

Hi guys, today I’m  going to talk about my friends. I have friends from the school and friends from the university.

Now I’m going to talk about my friends from the school. Their names are Camilo and Nicole and they have been my friends for at least 10 years.  With them I have shared beautiful moments of my life. Nicole was my classmate the school in “Liceo Nº 1 Javiera Carrera” and we are best friends since I met her.

I met her in the in primary school and she is a very important person for me, because we grown up together and she was like my sister.

My friend Camilo was in “Liceo Manuel Barros Borgoño” and I met him because he was friend of a friend and we

lived near. He is 23 years old now and I go to his home frequently. He is very supportive with me and I can always count on him.

 

I don’t see Nicole too often, because she live far of me and she is busy studying like me. She studies engineering and it is a very difficult career and because of that she doesn’t have time for me.  I see camilo and nicole together at least once a month but is very hard coordinate our time. They are very important in my life and I hope that our friendship will last forever .

Well my friends, that’s all for today,

Bye.

The first activity did not seem so complicated, in fact I found it quite entertaining and I had only problems with some words, but the context helped me to understand. In the second activity I had more difficulty understanding and answering questions, and I found it a little confusing and I was wrong on several questions.

The place I would like to visit is Machu Picchu. One reason why I would like to visit it is because is a historical place where the Incas lived. Another reason is because it has a beautiful landscape and serves to relax and breathe fresh air. However I would travel to many places in the world.

English is very important for me,  as to work and to study . In university is very useful to read scientific papers as the last evidence. I also find it a useful tool to work because I can have as dentistry  a foreign patients and I should be able to understand them.

My future job

Hello Friends, today I’m going to talk about my future job.

Well, in this moment I’m studing dentistry and I hope one day to become as great a dentist. I like the dentistry and I would like to be dentist because I want to help the ill people.  I would like to work outdoor but if you are a dentist, you are forced  to work  indoor. I want to work in a public service’s hospital and to have a private consult.

 In the future I would like to specialize in maxillofacial surgery, I think that It is the better specialty because you can greatly help people with craniofacial syndromes and disorders and you need to be a competent professional. There are very few Maxillofacial surgeons and is very difficult to enter the specialty because you need to have good grades and do work to gather points and there are many people competing to enter.

I would like to travel and to study abroad, specifically in Spain because the medicine is very advanced.

If I become a surgeon I would like to work in public service because I can help those most in need. I don´t want earn big money, I want to work by vocation.

That’s all for today Friends!

Let's talk about series!!

Hello friends, today I’m going to talk about My favorite series.  I like comedies and one them is named “Malcolm in the middle”. It’s an American which started at 2000 and tells the story of a dysfunctional american middle class family.  Every chapter has a different story about the daily  life of a family of four children and their special parents.  The main character is Malcolm, who tells the story. He is a fourteen years old teenager, and also a “genius” with a higher IQ and courses at a special advanced class at his school.  Malcolm has a dysfunctional family and everything revolves around the troubles in his family,  because he has problematic brothers,  a very authoritative mother and a slovenly father.

Another series I like is “Scrubs”. It is also an American one, and It is about the personal and professional life of young interns doctors and his life in hospital. The protagonist is Dr.John Dorian or “J.D” and he tells about his life as a beginner doctor. I like Malcolm and scrubs because they have short episodes,  make you laugh a lot, and keep you always entertaining, The humor is very sarcastic humor, and I find many characters interesting. 

My favorite food

Hello Friends, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food. My favorite food is sushi. Well, before I taste it the first time, I didn’t want to eat it because I thought that it was disguting with its raw fish. After a time, my mother convinced me and from that moment the sushi became  my favorite food.

I like sushi because It has a variety of exotic flavors and It has  Philadelphia cheese too, which makes It very delicious. Generally, I use replace the fish by chicken or other ingredients, because the raw fish continues remains disgusting and It may has parasites like Anisakis and Diphyllobothrium latum, and virus, like hepatitis A virus (HAV).

I usually eat sushi with my boyfriend in my or his house. We alwaysrequest home delivery and We buy large quantities because It is cheaper.

Nowadays, I don’t know how to cook sushi, but I would like to learn to cook It because might be more economical.

I think that could eat it everydays, but I can’t afford it, besides it could make me fat.

That’s all for today. Goodbye Friends.

My best concert

Hello everybody! Today I´m going to talk about the best concert I’ve had. Well, the best concert I’ve gone is Oasis. Oasis is a band formed in 1991 and It is comprised of the brothers  Gallagher, Liam and Noel, Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuigan Tony McCarroll, Noel Gallagher. 

 I remember that It was on 5 May 2009 because It was one day before my birthday. I was very excited because this was my first time to go to a concert and at that time Oasis was my favorite band. I went with my cousin Yasna, She is older than me and she had got to take care of me during the concert. My mother bought both tickets and I was very angry because I wanted to go to the concert alone, since with this money I could have bought a vip ticket.

The concert was in “Movistar Arena” and even though of the location I could be able to see well because It was a little place.

Needless to say, the concert was amazing and It endured near 2 hours. Maybe Oasis’s concert doesn´t compare with The cure’s concert that lasted more than three hours, I remembered it because It was my first concert and It was a birthday gift in advance. Nowadays Oasis is separated and that was its last concert.

My favorite country

Hi friends! Today I'm going to talk about the country  I would like to go someday in the future.  My favorite country is France, specifically Paris. I love Paris I like the city of the lights, the language, the architecture, its streets... Is a beautiful place to visit. 

Nowadays I don´t know many things about  France, but  I would like to know more. I love the french films because in them I can see its wonderful landscapes, buildings, and culture. I know about France is known for its cuisine, recognize as the best of world. France is notable for its gourmet foods and wines. Also it is known for its cheeses and the baguette. 

On the other hand I would like to know the Eiffel Tower, to visit Versalles because is a historical place, and the Mont Saint-Michel because is a wonderful monument and is one of the most visited in France. 

First of all I would like to visit France before choosing to stay for living there, but I am sure that I am going to like the country.
