ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

Imagen
This is my last blog for english class and is going to be about english! I am not going to lie, i never wanted to have english in university, when i took the test for english i was 1 point far to get the opportunity of exemption but i ended up being in english 4. I didn't want to be out of english because i hate the language, because i love it so much and i wish this were my first language (yes i hate spanish, even more chilean spanish) but in school i had english 3 days per week, one hour and a half each day, and english was included in my elective so yes, i learned a lot of english there and also watching youtube videos. I thought more english classes was going to be harder for me because of the time, there is so much to study that waiting for english class was kind of a waste of time. For other side, i like talking in english, but i lost my ability of talking because of my last year of "preuniversitario" so i am thankful for that, it helped me to develop it and it wor...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGAMME

Imagen
Okay this is a weird theme for me to talk, i think everyone wrote about the same thing and i don't know how to make it different. Well, i am studying dentistry (as everyone else for sure) but i am in my second semester. I have 4 subjects: 1. "Development of skills and self-care for professional practice 2" (Destrezas in spanish): This is like introduction to dentistry, it's the closest subject to our career. We have theoretical and practical classes, and my favorite are practical, i really have fun on them because you practice with the elements that we are supposed to use in the future. We also had this subject in the first semester but it was easier and it wasn't really related to dentistry as second semester, it was really for practicing our abilities of precision and getting a little more close to the elements we are going to use. 2. "Anatomical and biological bases" (Bayb): Okay, so this is the difficult one, i have a love and hate relation wi...

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

Hello everyone, today i am going to tell you a little bit of my plans for summer holidays this year. Well, my plans have changed just a little from like a one week ago, because as a family we didn’t intend to go somewhere and we were going to stay in Santiago but now with this cyber monday thing we have a plan! My dad got passages to Coyhaique for December, i think is for the third week of this month and is going to be a short trip, i think it is going to last 5 days but i am really excited because the southest place i have visited is Chiloé and i’ve always wanted to go there because i find that the south of our country is such a beautiful place and that there is nothing to envy from european countries in that way, after all of this second semester which i must say it has been a terrible one, for me it is a necessary place to go to relax and connect with nature. I am going with my parents and my two brothers, Carlos and Jose Pablo, and as they are 3 and ...

RECOMMENDING

Imagen
Hi, today i have to recommend you something, and that is really difficult to me because i don't have any type of hobby, i have been thinking about it and i thought in a movie called ex machina. I watched this movie around July of this year in winter break. This movie is a science fiction movie, it is really futuristic, the movie is starring by Alicia Vikander, who is winner of an Oscar. It is about a young programmer, Caleb, who is chosen in a contest of his company (the one he works, he is not the owner) to participate in an experiment with the mysterious executive director of the company which he works, named Nathan, this project is a top secret project and this guy has to evaluate the behavior and intelligence of a woman robot named Ava in about a week. Ava perfectly recreates a woman's human behavior, but her intelligence will take things further. I promise the end of this movie will leave you without air, it is rREeally unexpected and i love unexpected ends, i mean for r...

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

Imagen
Hello! i am going to talk about postgraduate studies. I am only at first year, but i have some specialities that i am interested in, they are pediatric dentistry and periodontics. That can obviously change in the future and with future i am talking about tomorrow or one hour, for example, when i started the career i was sure i wanted to be a maxillofacial surgeon because it is a really fun speciality and i compared it with medicine, but i thought about it and i don't want it anymore. I like pediatric dentistry because, as i said it in my last post, i love children. It is a huge challenge because they are not patient, they are afraid of pain, they don't feel comfortable with a person putting their hands in their small mouth. But, i don't care about it, i would do my best for them. Then we have periodontics, i like it because periodontal diseases are a big problem in this country because people doesn't know how to brush their teeth, so they get plaque into their gu...

MY FUTURE JOB

Imagen
Today i am going to talk about my future job, i hope my future job is as a dentist, that's my dream. When i was in school i really wanted to become a medicine student, but because of my marks that didn't work out, that's why i decided to choose odontology as my career and i don't regret about it because i love it, besides I’m at the university i always wanted which is Universidad de Chile, so i wouldn't go anywhere else, unless i get the opportunity to travel, but i am good here. I have always love science, biology and health area, and the practical part is my favorite, because that shows me how everything is going to be, or at least it brings me closer to what I’m going to do.  I would like to work out of Santiago, maybe in a beach town, besides i think it is going to be difficult to find a job and get a salary in this city, because is full of dentists. In future i would like to become a pediatric dentistry because i love children, but i know it is dif...

PANDAS

Imagen
Hi, today i am going to talk to you about my favorite animal. It is easy to me to choose: Bears. I love any kind of them, but the one that i like the most is panda bear. They are known for their cuteness and they are loved all over the world. They have a white fur with some black areas like around their eyes, in the ears, muzzle, shoulders and extremities. This animal is considered a bear but they are not carnivorous, they are vegetarians and eat bamboo, and this is a reason of why they are in danger. Its forest habitat in the mountainous regions of southwest China has been fragmented, forcing isolation and reduction of panda bear populations. But its status has just dropped from "Endangered" to "Vulnerable" due to population increase in the decade before 2014, when it was revealed that there were 1,864 pandas released in China. Today we can talk about more than 2,000 living in the wild. I have never seen one close, but when i see...
