English Language Challenges



Hi everyone!

Almost it’s the end of the semester and I think this year passed very fast. Well, this is my last post, number ten. So, today, I'm going to talk about my English Courses and the use of blogs. In my opinion, the English courses has been very necessary for me and for any professional, because English language is important nowadays, because in most cases or in all cases, the important papers, publications, books for my career and for any career are in English; so it's necessary to learn this language for professional life. Besides, it’s one of my challenges to learn very well English. So, I liked this subject at University and from my point of view is a great initiative.
The use of blogs in this course is very important, because with their use I learned to express my opinion in English; also I learned grammar and how writing in English, this is a point very important, because when I have to write a paper, I'll have to write the document in Spanish and English too, so it's very necessary learn to write in English and the blogs are a way to learn to write in this language. 
The aspects of my English that I need to be improved are: a little of grammar, the order when I’m writing, listening and my confidence to speak in English then, my plan for improved this things is reading books and documents in English, seeing movies and series without subtitles in English.
In these days, I using English almost all days for translate songs and for read papers that professors give me.


Best wishes!

Year 2014!


Hi everyone!!

Today, I'm going to talk about year 2014. Well, this year has been good and bad; also I’m so impress, because time passes so fast. So, this year has been good, because the first semester I passed all my subjects, my cousins and my uncles arrived from Venezuela, my uncle cut my hair and I’m so happy for that. Besides, in this year I knew different places of Chile, because I went to Frutillar (practice) and Tongoy in the summer and in the winter I went to “Cerro el Roble” and “Jardín Botánico de Viña del Mar”; also I’m an assistant of a subject about botany and taxonomy of plants and I went to concert of Demi Lovato with my sister.
This year has been bad, because has been a year since my cousin death and I miss him so much and I still don’t accept the notice about his death. Besides, in this semester I got a very bad mark in an exam and I’m so sad for that.
In this year I’ve achieved many things: I achieved be an assistant of a subject and I achieved work in a lab; also in this year I achieved go to the psychologist, because I needed it for personal motives. On the other hand, the last part of this year I hope achieve some of my goals, I would like to learn more about identification of woods, botany, lichens and moss, because this topics are very interesting for me and I hope to work in the future about that.

Facebook



Hi everyone!!

Today, I'm going to talk about Facebook. Since 6 years ago I have a Facebook’s account, because all my “friends” had an account on Facebook and  I bored so much, because I didn’t know to use it, but one day my uncle shows me a game called “Pet society” and I liked so much. Actually, I use it to “talk” with my friends and my family and it’s useful to organize different things, like work of University; also I use this virtual platform to obtain information about interesting topics, like mushroom, plants, Bryophyte, animals, different activities for save the world (Greenpeace activities) and obtain information about my favorite TV series, singers, actors and actress. So, I like Facebook, because it’s funny and I can share with other people the things that I like. Besides, I like it, because I can find members of my family, lost members and I can find to my childhood friends. On the other hand, Facebook has negative aspects and positive aspects. The negative aspects are: reduce the direct communication between people; also, some people use Facebook to hack account and they write bad things on your account. Furthermore, also some people use Facebook to trick people and commit crimes. By contrast, the positive aspects is that Facebook can reduce the distances with our friends and familiars, for example I have a friend in Mexico and I have familiars in Venezuela and thank to Facebook I can establish a long distance conversation with them.
