English Language Challenges

For this blog i’m going to answer each question separately

-What comments can i make about my experience learning english at university?

Really i think i have not learned many new things here, maybe some words or expressions, vocabulary in general, but nothing very important.

-What about the use of blogs?

Well, i think this is a very good tool, because it forces us to use all the vocabulary we have, or the most part of it. Since i started doing this, i feel i can write more fluently, also i can speak more fluently too. I really like this teaching method, i like it more than clases, the truth is that these are very boring! I think these are not necessary, there should be only english lab, to do blogs. For example, to learn about the future, present or past in english, we could have blogs related to that, i don’t know, write about things you liked to do in the past, or write a story… Maybe, teachers could show us a recording, and we would have to write about what we heard there, or something like that, more fun or interesting things that be sitting in a chair filling a work guide, for a person like me, that is so boring, do the same thing for 2 hours! :c

-What aspects of my english i need to improve?

Mmmm i need to improve my fluency when i’m speaking and expand my vocabulary…

How am i going to do it? Well, i have an app in my mobile cellphone, called Duolingo, it is a very good app to learn languages.

-Outside the english class…

I don’t use English too much, only in duolingo, or when i see some movie, but in december i will go to USA, so i think i’m going to use it more there jajaja

Changes To My Study Programme

Generally, i like my study programme, but is true that it could be better, for example:

In my career, the first semester we had a subject called “introduction to the career of chemistry”, in my opinion, this subject was absolutely useless!!!! We had to listen the presentation of different people related with the career and made a summary, but this presentations never had a relationship between them, also was soooo boring L L L I think I really didn’t learn anything, a total waste of time :/. Instead this semester we have a subject called “chemistry and society”, this is much better planned, we learn about things more useful and listen people really related with the career. So I think “introduction to the…..”  has to be removed to the curriculum!

In relation to the workload and the length of studies, I think they are well :3

This faculty is too small in every way, for example, when it is raining, only the 36% of the students have a place to lunch. Also the library is too small and noisy L

We all agree that technology is very important to the studies, but I think teachers or someone should teach how to use books better, because I’m sure that the half of students doesn’t know how to find the information they are looking for.

In relation to the teaching methods, some teachers believe that because they know a lot about some subject, they can be cruel with a student who had an error. They must to understand we all have different times to learn…

summer holidays

I think we are all waiting for summer, this year has been a bit stressful, also the winter was too long :c

Summer holidays are never enough to do everything we want, so I always think which are the most important things that I want to do. For example, this summer I want to go to the south of Chile. Last summer i went there, I was in Chiloé, Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas but there are so many things to see and do!! Time is not enough.

I want to go to Torres del Paine, Chiloé, Punta arenas, cross all the Austral road. I really want to do this with my boyfriend and friends; I think summer vacations are the best moment to relax your mind and, what better than be with people who think just like you?

Also I want to be with my family, in December we will go to USA for one week, we gonna visit NY, Washington and New Jersey, it sounds really funny! I always want to go to USA. The best thing is we will go with my aunt and my two cousins, I am excited to go because I miss them so much :C

Bogotá, Colombia

After of that, we will go to Colombia, to see the rest of our family, we will be there Christmas and New Year. I usually see my family once a year, so you will understand how much I want to go jajaja

I want to do so many other things, but i have to be realistic with time and money jajaja 

Addictions

I think in this world are many things that can be considered like drugs, in my opinion the worst drug is one thing people use all times, sugar. It is usually used to make the meals more sweet, for example the coffee, tea, cakes, even salty food has sugar. I'm allergic to sugar and find some food without sugar is really imposible!!!! 💔
I think is the worst drug because people use it without care, for example, to make a cake i have to use 300 gr of sugar! is too much, in nature, all have narutal sugar, why we need more?
When i found out that i was allergic, i had to stop eating it, the expirence was terrible, 2 week later of that, i felt i was going to die, i needed to eat something sweet, i even tought in go to the supermarket, buy a bag of sugar and eat it with a spoon jajaja (abstinence syndrome? where? jajaja)

Well, i know other drugs like cigarettes, alcohol, crack, LSD, cocaine... its effects are so terrible, people changes completely. It is a problem to the person, but also to the society, because everybody have people nearby, so it is a risk because they can drag with them to others.
i know one person with this problem, is a friend mine, she was addict to cocaine. It was a very sad sitation, she works only to have money to buy. We talked with her, and finally, after so many problems, she understood it wasn't the best.

I really do not consider marihuana as a drug at all, it doesn't produce addiction (in my opinion) and have so many beneficts, most of them are medicinal beneficts, like analgesic, antibiotic. I have tried marihuana one time.. (si claro...), but as i said before, i don't consider it like a drug 👀👀👀👀
In the hole history, only 19 people have died for marihuana effects. Are needed 680 Kg of marihuana to have a letal dose, but are needed 5gr/Kg in an adult to be a letal dose.

Post Graduate Studies

In my personal opinion, post graduate studies are very important because they allow to have a greater knowledge on a particular subject and have a bigger personal development. This studies can be PhD, diplomate, master degree and others. Most of it are useful to the society, they help to meet the needs of people.

Mmmm really i do not have any idea of what i am gonna study in future jaja my idea is study other career, like medicine, arts, veterinary or something i want when i get graduate. But i would like to make a PhD in Chemistry too, more specifically, in organic chemistry area, because i really like that area, i think that it have so many things that are not studied yet, so many things to discover, i don't know jajaja

If i make a PhD, i would like to do it here, in this school, immediately after i get graduate of my career. But if in the future i decide to study other career, i would like to do it in other country, Germany for example, because it is free $$$$, or Russia. (i want to travel!!! jaja)

Well, i don't know what i'm gonna do, i only know i love the laboratory work, whatever i will do in the future, i would like to work there 💗

Old and New Hobbies

The people's hobbies are very different, for example, my mom likes to listen classical music and hates to cook, my dad collects coins from different countries, other people likes to read, dance, play video games and a lot kind of things.

My favorites hobbies are playing handball and drawing, but the most important to me is the last one 💓💓💓💓💓

I like to draw since i was a child, i don't remember when i started with this, but is very important because it relaxes me.

Generally, i don't have much time for doing that because i spend so many hours. I take my art things and an idea and i can be 2 or 3 hours in just one draw.

I took 3 hours in finish this draw, at the end i just want to burn it, i were really tired jajaja

 I really love do that. In some moment of my life, i would like to study arts 💪 it is like an impossible dream jajaja💔

My firts tattoo 

People always tell me that i could be a very good tattoo artist, because of that, this summer i learned to tattoo, i have only made 5 or 6, but people have loved it :3 💁 jajaja


Hobbies i would never have? mmm reading... it is not my thing jajaja

In the future i want to play volleyball as a hobby <3 (next year maybe, i don't know...)

Our amazing human body

All organs and systems of the human body are amazing to me, because all performs very important functions, for example, the heart carries blood to the whole body to oxygenate organs, carry nutrients and remove the impurities through the blood... Eyes receive the visual information and transport it to the brain to be processed, all of these things happens in a very short time, almost imperceptible. 

 

I think that one of the most important organs to life is the intestine, in that place is where most of the nutrients are absorbed, is the largest area of exchange of substances. Is located in the abdomen, under the thorax. Intestine is conformed of two parts, the largest part is the small intestine, its measure is between 6 and 11 meters, the shortest part is the large intestine, its measure is of 1,5 meters.

This are the most common bowel diseases:

-Chronic diarrhea 

-irritable bowel syndrome 

-Tumors of the small intestine

For a perfect bowel function, the most important thing is a good diet. 

Recently i have been hearing about food allergy produced for a bad diet, because of that reason, now young people are sick of things that doctors called "disease of old people", like diabetes, hypertension, tumors...
