My blogging experience

Hi friends!

This week I’ m going to write about my evaluation of blogging experience.

In my opinion, I think that the blog is a good option for to learn English, because we can practice the language, we can learn new words and improve the vocabulary that already we have and with blog we can know more about our classmates for example their families, hobbies, places that they have visited, their expectations about the degree, etc.

Personally my writing skills have not developed so much because it is a language very complicated for me and I feel that it is more difficult for me than for the rest of my classmates.

In the future I would like to include that in the classes we practice more dialogs speaking English to learn better to form dialogues and to communicate us better with other persons who know speak the same language without trouble.

And about the blog I would like that the topics were more related to the area of the odontology, for example about which specialty we like to choose and why, Technological advances for the degree, how we connect with more people.

Well my dear friends, that is all for today, I hope you got a nice weekend

Regards!

How green am I?

Hi friends, I hope you are fine! This week I’m going to write about how green I’m

In my life I've been always taught to help and take care of our ecology. However, in my country, no one actually cares about that issue, in spite of that it is a BIG problem in these days. I always try to separate the trash, or not to use plastic bags and do that kind of stuff that really helps the world. In my family those practices are very important and there are some special and very useful containers to organize everything for recycle.

The other thing that I love to use is my bike. I go everywhere by it, because in my opinion, it is really healthy for you and the most important thing is that you don't contaminate anymore. Also, there are many traffic jam issues in Santiago, so the fewer cars are circling, the better we collaborate not to pollute.

There are some organizations like Greenpeace which objective is to protect the world against more contamination. I've never been part of those, but I want to in a few years more because I think it is a great organization that really can bring change.

To reduce my carbon footprint I recycle, not only I recycle glass or plastic but also my own clothes, in shops that have spaces to recycle it

I know that if only one person (like me) try to keep our air clean, it won't work. But, if everyone could put one grain of sand, we could create a better world for everyone. So, in conclusion, please make conscious of this problem and do something about it.

Bye friends!

My favorite subject

Hi friends! I hope you are fine, I’m stressed out and tired because the semester is finishing and I’ve many tests and works.

This week my post will be about my favorite subject. It is very difficult for me to say at this point of the year which is my favorite subject because I hate to the university at this moment LOL.

This semester I have 7 subjects:  Scientific and clinical basis for diagnosis in dentistry II, Promotion and education in health II, EBD II (Evidence based Dentistry), Psicosociales and Anthropologic basis of the health II, Simulations for the professional practice II, English and a sport subject.

So of these 7 subjects those that more I like are the sport subject and English because in my opinion they are easy and very entertaining, I spend very good moments when I go to English’s class. But none of the two is much related to what I study, so I will choose one of the “Scientifics subjects” and it is “Simulations for the professional practice”. This subject is realized in the preclinical of the faculty and the teachers who taught it are dentists very young but there are old people too. I like this subject because I work with a false patient and I try to leave the possible better thing him.  Also I enjoy because my group and my teachers are very special and funny.

In this subject I have learnt many thinks about fixed prosthesis, dental operatory, periodontal disease, biomaterials, dental cavities, etc.

Practice

In this post I’m going to write about an activity of platform. In the activities of Unit 4 “Facing Problems” I got the following results:

-Act 1: About the environmental problems we think that in Chile we have the same problem than England

-Act 2: I got 8/11 points

-Act 3: About grammar I got 48/68 points

Now, in the activities of Unit 5 “Financial Matters” I got the following results:

-Act 1: “You know when to save and when to splurge”

-Act 2: My rank about 10 tips to save money is the following:

1. Reduce electric expenses

2. Learn to do it yourself

3. Plan a weekly menu and stick to it.

4. Bringing a calculator along helps me curb expenses.

5. Shop clearance sales

6. Borrow instead of buy

7. Plan ahead for seasonal gift giving.

8. Cook all food from scratch.

9. Shop for sale items at the grocery store

10. Double check those medical bills.

-Act. 3: About financial vocabulary I got 25/30 points

-Act 4: Listening practice: I got 4/6 points

We think that a sense of personal distress. It often impairs a person's life in some way. Some people, shopping is a major leisure activity. For others, it can be like nicotine, alcohol or other drugs. In other words, those addicted to shopping find it difficult or even impossible to quit. These are the compulsive shoppers that we considered that whose lives are organized around a variety of shopping experiences as inappropriate, excessive, and out of control. this  behavior is very bad to for health and development in the family and society.
the big problem in this carreer is the money, because the materials are very expensive and hard to find, ever walk for all santiago city searching  a specifics thinks, but not ever we have lucky, however the carrer it is very funny , is hard and stressful but always it has a reward.

Summer plans

Hi friends!

I hope you are fine, I’m not so good. The semester is almost ever and everything is more difficult, every time the time is done less and I have many things to do and many things in my head… I’m also looking forward to summer vacation and it is the topic about I’m going to write in this post.

This summer I would like to visit many places. First, I would like to visit two places of Chile: Torres del Paine and Chiloé, I think they are two of the places more beautiful of Chile and I want to know them. After I want to go out of Chile, I want to know Machupichu in Peru and Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, I have seen them in photos and really they are spectacular places. Obviously I wouldn’t go alone, I would go with my best friends…I think it would be very good vacations.

Now, about the activities I’m thinking of being part of; since I entered to University I would like to take part of “Trabajos Voluntarios” but I wasn’t feeling prepared  but now I feel more prepared and only I want is to go because I think to take part of “Trabajos Voluntarios” is a unique and life-changing experience.

This summer I want to study too. I want to learn idioms but I don’t know which, I’m interested in Chinese and German but I only want to learn one idiom this summer so I have to choose only one.

PET

Hi friends!

This week I’m going to write a different post…It is about an activity. I had PET practice in reading listening and vocabulary and my reflection about it is the following one…

The skill more challenging for me is listening. Since I was at school it has been very difficult for me, I find  hard to understand the people who speaks because they speak very rapidly or have strange accents.

The easiest task for me was vocabulary because it was a basic vocabulary and I had learned it at the school.

My best friends

Hi friends!

Today I'm going to talk about my best friends...

I think friends have been very important in my life because they have been like my second family.

First, I´m going to talk about my friends of the school, they are called Nicolás, Benjamin, Matias, Cristian, Jorge and Sebastián. I met them on 2007, when we started second school, which means that we are friends for 8 years. They did that 6 years that I was in the school were more pleasing and entertaining. Whit them I had spent very good moments like our prom, our vacations and many parties.

Now, they are studying…Nicolás, Matias, Sebastián and Cristian study Engineering, Jorge studies Ocuppational Terapy and Benjamin is preparing PSU because he wants to study Medicine. Actually we see us once or twice a month because we don’t have much time but when we go out we spend very entertaining moments.

I have other group of friends in the university; they are Belén, Cote, Kika, Arely and Nicolás.

They do that the stressful days of the university are happier. They help me when I have problems and they support me on my decisions. Each one has a very peculiar personality, and it is that I like of them. We see us every day in class and always we spend it very well, they are special people, very special.

I hope you like my post...Bye!

My future job

Hello friends!
This week I’m going to write about my future job…so here I go:

Well I'm studying dentistry, so that is what i wanna do, I wanna be a great dentist and fix the smiles of all the patients that enter in my consult.

I don't know yet if I want to work with kids or adults or what speciality I will take, but what I know is that I want to go work away from Santiago, I want to go to the south, to Valdivia, Puerto Montt, Chiloe. I would like sometimes go to work just for the joy of what I do, I don't care if they will pay me with chickens, eggs or cow milk, I just want to make the life of people better.

I imagine me being my own boss that would be awesome, perhaps putting a dental consultory with my friends there or a movil dental clinic and go to the places where the odontology and the dental treatments don't go.

I don't like offices or dealing with paying the bills, so I will need someone to do that for me because I really don't want to do that.

I would like sometimes go to seminaries and learn more treatments and news in the odontology world, so I would be perfecting myself all the time and so do a better job with the people I'm going to treat.

Well that is all for today, I hope you like it.

Bye!

My favorite series

Hello friends, I hope you are well.

This week I’m going to write about my favorite series…

To be honest I don’t like series a lot because I don’t have many time to watch TV for hours, I say hours because If I'd see a series I would like to see more than one chapter daily, so I’m not a fanatic of the series like my friends, I have a friend that is a fanatic of the series and he sees every months different series, he interferes very much in the plot and can’t wait to see the following chapters.

I said that I’m not a fanatic of the series but there is a series that I have seen for many years, since I was 15 years old, it is “Dr. House”. The show's main character is Dr. Gregory House, a pain medication-dependent, unconventional, misanthropic medical genius who leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital in New Jersey.

I like it because all the stories that it shows are interesting and some stories are impressive, all the stories are related to medicine and I like it. But the most interesting thing is the personality of the protagonist and the way in which it solves the clinical cases.

Actually, I'm interested in another series called “Narcos”, it is about “The Cartel of Medellin” and I began to see it the last weekend but lamentably I haven't seen it these days.

My favorite food

Hello friends, I hope you are well…

This week I’m going to write about my favorite food. It’s really difficult to me to write about it because I don’t have one favorite food, I have more than one. I like Italian food, Chinese food and obviously Chilean food.  About Italian food my favorite dish is lasagna, I like since I proved it for the first time when I was 5 years old. I like lasagna because it is like a big spaghetti in tomato sauce, with meat, white sauce and my favorite ingredient that is the melted cheese. I usually eat lasagna the Sundays when with my family go to the my  grandmother’s house.  Unluckily for me during the week I can’t eat lasagna because I don’t know how to cook it and my mom doesn’t like to cook it. 

Now, about Chinese food what I like most are Mongolian beef with Chinese rice and “gold cups” that have prawn because I love it. Usually I eat Chinese food with my girlfriend because she likes it too.

Obviously I like Chilean food; I think it is one of the best of the world. I love empanadas, cazuelas, mote con huesillos, sopaipillas, etc.

My best holidays

Hi friends!

This week I’m going to write about my best holidays. On 2014, I went to Viña del Mar with my friends for a week.  It was the best holidays because it was the first holidays without my parents and because all my friends got good scores in PSU.

These holidays didn’t begin very well because I missed the bus because I fell asleep.  In Viña del Mar we enjoy a lot, we did many entertaining things and we knew many places.

My parents said me “you are going to eat very badly” because anyone knew to cook but we eat very well because the sister of my friend was a master chef LOL.

We went to a party in Ritoque and it was so entertaining. We went to a discotheque twice because the first time we couldn’t enter because a friend was 17 years old, it was the worst but the second time we went without him and we danced and drank all night.

We went to beach many times; we went to Valparaiso and Reñaca where the best girls were. All nights we played “UNO” and we laughed a lot…I will never forget these holidays.

China!

Hi friends!

This is my first post and I’m going to write about the country I’d like to visit… it isn´t an easy decision because I’d like to visit many countries but if I have to choose one I choose China. 

I would like to visit China because I think it is a very interesting country, it is a cultural giant, with an enormous ethnic variety and a refined and exciting culture with several centuries of history. Another reason for which I would go to China is its gastronomy; I think it is one of the best of the world.

I would like to visit “The Great Wall of China” and “The Forbidden City”, they are two impressive monuments that I only have seen in photos and I would like to know them. Also I would like to do a gastronomic route for the different cities.

I don´t like to study, work or live in China, first because its language is very difficult, second because it is a very distant country and third because I love Chile, so I would like to visit China but I wouldn’t live there.

I hope you like my post…

Bye!
