My experience learning english at the University

This is my last post in this blog and I'm going to talk about my experience learning english this year in the University of Chile, In the first semester doing english I don't learned so much, english class is important for all subjects because we always need read papers so we need read and talk english. The last year I was in University of Talca and I had english too, there the methods for teach are totally different, we had a guide book for every class and we had a lot of homeworks, once a week we went to talk with a exchange student from England so we learned how pronounce the words too. Here is different, we don't have a guide book for consult, is truth we have online material but when we don't feel under pressure we don't look the material. I think the problem is the test of english in the first semester when we was selected for diferent class in diferent level, Now I want learn more but is difficult when the class is more advanced. In this second semester I learned more things about medical words and how pronounce that words, but I don't know so much english, maybe I needed stay in other class, in other level for learn more, or maybe I needed don't take this subject this semester and take advantage of this. Whatever my experience is not so good, but I'm going to pass this subject because I have the conviction that what I will make

In my point of view is necessary more interactive material, more homeworks, that kind of things. I like the blogs methods, is a really good form to practice our orthography but we need more feedback from our teacher,I don't only want write, I want write good.

In general I don't like english class, also is too far of Independencia.

Bye, have a good week. :)

Greys Anatomy

Hello! now I'm going to talk about this medical serie who I see every week. This serie have 7 sesions and the story is about a group of medical students who do their medical residency in "Seattle Greace Hospital". The first year the group are in charge of Bailey MD. and she is know for be extremely demanding. The story is told for Meredith Grey who always give advice of life in the end of every episode.

The residents are Meredith Greys, Cristina Yang, Alex Karev, Issie Stevens and George O'malley. In the first season their know the hospital life, how to treat patients and form a circle of friendship.

In the second and third seasons begin a series of love problems between the resident and doctors. For me the best season is five, Issie is diagnosed with skin cancer in stage IV, what means the cancer is in all her organs for that reason this entire season in an intense stress, in this season O'Malley suffers a serious accident for save a girl in the street and dies, so the group are devastated by tragedy, there are new characters that are important to follow the story. In the last episode Issie is recovered, but for the impact of O'malley death and the illness, she decided retire from her medical residency.

Greys anatomy is in a mistery until the sixth season, here by economic problems the "Steattle Greace Hospital" merged with other Hospital so new residents going to invade to the group and here start a fight who finished in a gunfire in the last episode. Yes Greys Anatomy is constantly tragedy, but is good serie, full of love, friendship and medical learning.

The 7 season had a slow start, but now start new problems, disappointments, etc. I love this serie, and this 7 season I think is the last one and is full of new adventures.

See you!

Sonata Arctica in Chile 2010!

Hi everyone, I'm going to talk about the concert of this group the last 24 october where I was with my best friend.

Sonata arctica is a group of power metal from Finland, is integrated for Tony Kakko, guitarist Jani Liimatainen, bassist Janne Kivilahti and drummer Tommy Portimo. well I love this group because I remember good moments with my friends, good times. The music is fantastic you full of energy, so I decided buy the entrance for me and for my best friend because he had so much problems and he need relax, doing something different. The concert was in "Teatro Caupolicán" and was fantastic, full of people, the sound was amazing, and we were in "Cancha" just in the limit with "preferencial" so we had a perfect ubication.

The show started at 9 PM and all started to jump, In the 2008 the band presented the disc called "unia" and I was with my friend too. I believe every time this band coming to Chile I'll go see, I love.

The first song who sang Tony was "Flag in The ground" of new disc called "The Days Of Grays" is a good song but I prefer the old songs, in this kind of things in 2008 was better. We speak with a lot of people, from all parts of Chile while we waited in the row that was fun.

Everyone need to go to a concert his favorite band, is the best experience who one can take, if you can you need to go, the price is not so expensive. A lot of good bands have been presented in recent years in Chile so you need to take advantage of this boom, and is a perfect present for people who you love especially now that Christmas is near.

Bye ! have a great week.

Dealing with stress at University

Hello today I'm going to talk about "Dealing with the stress at the university", this university is know for be one best universities of the country, for this reason the University of Chile puts so much pressure in every one, but the pressure in this end of years is a lot, and you need have a life away from all this. So the thing that I do for dealing whit stress is take time for do nothing, go out with my friends, go to visit at my family who lives in Rancagua and do other kind of things. People needs organize their time, in this university all run, well in Santiago the people go for the life very quickly and I lately too. But I don't understand so good this kind of life, when I lived in Talca the people needed the same things but all is more relaxed than here, don't run for go to underground and all people had a best mood. In Rancagua is the same kind of life, the people don't go very quickly.


Well this is a problem with the "big city" is diferent and have a magic too.

In this end of year we need study a lot for the tests, now is more important than never, in this moment we now if the efford has rewards, so we dont have time for relax, we need stay concentrated, I know it is dificult but is necessary, you need organize your time in studying hours and time for do nothing or go out for a while. The university is complicated, but is not impossible, you need have conviction, you can do this, can always.

You need think in Christmas, in the beach, in happy new year! in a lot of thing for this summer, after tests you will have all this.

See you.

Brain & Learning

There are a number of beliefs in the theories currently who invalidated the people still believe be true.

"There is no time to lose as everything important about the brain is decided by the age of three"
Was believed that the critical age where children could develop their learning that almost everything is decided at that age, this was based on the high growth of neurons in the early stages of life due to the finding that neurons do not regenerated, but now is known that a person can have new neurons at any point in their live to what is called neurogenesis, also the child has a greater synaptogenesis, a greater number of synapses making more capable of learning because the number of synapses determines learning. All this is not really supported by the lack of studies linking the synaptic density and learning so that you can not say with such determination that children up to three years have their pick of development.

"I'm a 'left-brain', she's a 'right-brain" person "
Both hemispheres are entities that do not work separate, but has related the characteristics of people as being more intellectual or creative hemisphere that more would use, this is because is described separate. In fact recommended differentiated education for the type of person depending on the dominant hemisphere. Now know that is an integrated system of both hemispheres are required for tasks although some tasks are more strong related to one of the hemisphere.

It is important always worry about education,reinforce in the early stages of life because children learning easier, but always do things for education :)

A healthy life style, Is it possible? How?

In Santiago the people run for their jobs, for go to the university, etc, the city life is stress and the people don't have time for do exercise, go to jogging or other activity... so is possible have a really healthy lifestyle? The majority of the persons can say yes but the truth is if the persons have time they don't do exercises, the don’t go to run, jogging, etc they prefer go to see a movie, do a barbecued with friends, family or go to a party and the health activity is go away from their minds.
But exist a little group of persons who take conscience of their health, if you go at San Cristóbal in the weekends there exist a lot of people doing physical activity, up the hill in their bikes or walking, exist groups who doing recreational activities in some places like "spinning", etc!
If you think have a healthy lifestyle is possible, but is necessary changes in the conscience of people, the risk of a sedentary life is so known, hearts problems, obesity, diabetes, etc.
Doing periodic physical exercises better the cardiovascular system, help in the concentration, for relax of the daily routine, exist a lot of benefit! But I insist the people really don't worry for this, prefers other things and never find time for do additional activity.

How really changes this reality?
well first the risk of don't do activity is clear so now go out to do something, and start to changes ours eating habits. We know this is hard because is complicated have time for cooking or the health food is expensive, but is necessary.
The department of health public could do political changes in hours of jobs or give at workers tickets for go to the gym, you know if the worker feel good the work is more efficient.

All indicate the increase of bad habits like sedentary life, eat a lot of fast food, drink, smoking, etc and all contribute to bad style of life but is possible change only if the people really want ;)

Bye! :)

Memories of my Childhood

Hello, I write in this blog about my childhood recollections, when I was a child I constantly went at my grand mother house who lived in "Machalí". There with my brothers used to play with the horses, yes my grand mother had a lot of horses because she lived in the hill, so every weekend she went out with horse for work. I remember those days was greats days, went for a Horse ride with my family was fantastic,when I was younger all was more easier.I liked go out to another place away from Rancagua, in the field the air is fresh, the sound of trees is more stronger that sound of city, so you relax so much.I really like that time of my life, my family was more united than now, I lived in my home ahah now I go sometimes and not enjoy so much because need to study. I really I dont was happened with my family, after the death of my grand mother started a lot of problems, but whatever.

I liked the time who with my brothers played all day in the street. ( I have a lot, we are five). In the summer we used a hose for play with water, I remember a winter when we did a kind of shelter with a lot of clothes and umbrellas and my mom and my mom was really angry with all.

The childhood should be the big part of our life, I remember mine with love, all the people who was important for me and now cant stay more for any reason, my brothers who grow and do another things, in fact one have a beatiful daughter, Emilia.

Free post. The best Book

Well I'm not a fanatic reader but I like read when I can and when I have time (difficult thing in the university). One´s of the best book is the novel “Demian” of the author “Hermann Hesse”.

Is the history of a boy – Emili Sinclair- who turned in adult, is a novel of formation due to the fact the topic is the maturing of the protagonist, but is not only one boy who turns in a man is a individual person who born in the flock (our society) and in the large of his life learn to be the same person, a super Nietzsche person.

The topics that novel talk in the chapters is the difficulties that this superman must face and the consequences of live away of the rest of people.
“ Demian” have a strong influences of Nietzsche so this book have the thought of cotemporary reality, and have too a introduction to the phychology… whatever this is a really good book.

And other book totally different who likes me for the meaning of the book, the person who recommend the book and the moment when I read is “El vendedor más grande del mundo” is a help book with so much advices and good history of live, this book try to teach methods to be a successful person with simple things, give you habit to doing thing in your day for obtain your purposes. Is different to the others help books because this have a history is not only words from a guy who believe he is the most perfect and successful person.

Bye
