My expierence learning english

Well, this is my last blog the year and I will talk about my experience learning English in the University. I began English the past year and this is my third semester learning English. The first semester don’t was very difficult, but in the second semester the difficult increase enough, but I prepare my presentations, I read all the text, I did my blogs and I could go to next level.

This semester, and the last level of English, the true is that I don’t liked for nothing, although never I like 100% English, because I feel that the methodology is don’t better for me, I feel that I learn at snail’s pace. Besides, this semester I was with students who went directly to level IV, then they known to more than me, they spook better, they understood more things… and the majority of the classes were in conversational in English, then this, furthermore I don’t always was able to respond to Professor, made many times I almost cried out of classes. I think that this semester this English course don’t was a good experience for me, because although I have advanced in three semesters, this time in particular I feel very angry because I can’t do anything to raise a little my English’s level, and I want to learn but I don’t can, so for this reason to much days I am discourage, specially after listening, or I haven’t desire to do anything else because it frustrates me to know I’m wrong in something and I can’t do anything against it.

This is horrible for me; however, I know I stay in the University and that it’s not all easy, so I hope to be able to find some good teaching of this, but this last semester particularly, because I know, too, that my level’s English is better that when I begun this course the past year, but regrettably it’s not of a level IV.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

Who don’t like to be 50 years with the love of your life? I think this is something that everyone dreams; it gets a family, sharing good and bad times, it lives a lot years with a special person… sounds good, but it don’t all can live fifty years with your couple, for problems or death of the person, for example. So, it celebrate 50 years of marriage is a privilege for who achieve it, and this is a privilege that my grandparents had fifteen years ago, I was 6 years old, but I remember very well this special moment for my family and of this I will speak now.

My grandparents (parents of my mom) lived in Peralillo (VI region, Chile), a quiet and very small village, so obviously, the celebration of their Golden Wedding had to be in that place. They had 11 children, so my family only for side of my mom is enormous; and although the Golden Wedding of my grandparents would be a family celebration more private, few people would not participate xD.

This celebration it was realized on October 7^th, 1995 in my grandparents’ home, the idea it was to do the ceremony in a parish church, but about of 1 month before, my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and it doesn´t had cure, for this reason her healthy was deteriorating rapidly, then for a ceremony more quiet, my family decided realized at home.

Fortunately, for the celebration my grandmother was well, and everything was very nice, it was really an exciting ceremony, and when finished, it began family photos, first only my grandparents, next they with their sons and daughters, then they with their grandchildren, later with the guests, and so photos with all. When the photographs’ session finish, it be began to serve the dinner.

The Golden Wedding of my grandparents is the best memory of family that I have.

Dunes of Concón

Today I will speak about of my long weekend in Viña del Mar, because I knew a place very beautiful and that I don’t know that existed. This place is the dunes the Concón, are located to 15 minutes of Viña del Mar and you can arrive in micro from Marina Arauco Mall square and it’s don’t expensive, besides when you arrive a Concón, you get off of the micro, cross the street and are on dunes, it arrive is very easy!
The Dunes are like mountains, but of sand, then it is easier climb to the top and if you fall, it doesn’t matter because there is just sand and the worst that can happen is losing your balance, rolling off and everyone laugh of you, so the probability of you damage is practically zero and a fall can to become very funny. At least I and my friends reach the top without problems, when I was on top of a dune I felt the sensation of being in the dessert, the view is wonderful, and from the top you can see all the huge sand dunes and the sea.
If you like the sport, is a great opportunity of tester something new, because in this place you can do “Sandboard”, a sport very entertainment and exciting that consist in this: you have to slip dune down, standing in a board, like it surfing dune down, without fall you, of course. And if you don’t have board don’t worry because next to the dunes it rent out boards for only $500 the hour. My friends was fascinated with a board that other friend brought, but I don’t slip me standing because I give fear, but I slip sitting that for me, it was equal of exciting!
Dunes of Concón I recommend it of anyway, because it’s a beautiful place for it know and it has a good time for a day.

Who say Stress = University?

Often the university can be stressful, in periods of biggest tests, exams, or in moments of many works. This is frequently in end of semester in the majority of the students, but in my case and of my classmates, we are always stressed!! Every day, every week, EVERY THE SEMESTER!!! This is horrible DX

I don’t have time for nothing! I don’t can see my friends; I don’t have time for to go at party, because I fall asleep anywhere, anytime, in class, in the metro and in the micro… and all for staying up late studying, we have minimum three tests each week and class all the day, then this is very tiring, so how we can avoid that these occur??

Well, when I am very tiring I don’t think in nothing, I only have head for study and if I don’t can study, I collapse, and which this happen it don’t help me, neither my study nor to my person, because I am sensitive and I cry for anything. So, when I know that I will have a lot of tests or works, I prevent think in that I am against the time and I plan all my signatures to study early, then this way I stress less. However, I think that this doesn’t sufficient and it’s necessary to take other precautions, because now that I am less stress, I can think best solutions for this problem, for example, it study is more easy in group, always it’s necessary it have a break (each two hours as suggestion) and is bad to sleep few hours, then it is fundamental the time well spent.

Is good, too, it do the favorites sports or hobbies, because is true that a stressed person think that doesn’t have time for these things, but this is big error, because with a good organization all is possible, and the best of it do these things, is the energy that it be gain for it can study good, because if I know that I had time to relax I can study better.

Then the message is:

Always there is time for all!!

Neuromiths

“Let’s face it – men and boys just have different brains from women and girls” is this neuromith? The text “Brain and Learning” state that there are functional and morphological differences between the male and female brain, but that no study to date has shown gender-specific processes involved in building up neuronal networks during learning. Then the terms “feminine brain” and “masculine brain” refer to “ways of being” described in cognitive terms rather than to any biological reality. Baron-Cohen employs the terms “masculine and feminine brain” to refer to particular cognitive profiles, which is unfortunate choice of terminology if it contributes to distorted ideas concerning the workings of the brain.

In my opinion, I think that for the population in general this neuromith is true, because the majority of the people unknown the biological basis of the subject, and the text “Brain and Learning” have a lot of reason in that phrases as Why men don’t listen and women can’t read maps have become popular reading, or in the case of Chile, popular phrases, because is usual hear people say them when a men doesn’t listen well, for example, or when a women is drive badly. For me personally, this neuromith it is not true, because at least in the signatures that I had studied, we never have established physiological differences between male and female brain, besides that I don’t know studies that prove true differences biological between men and women, for this reason I am totally agree with the text “Brain and Learning”.

I think it would be nice if this literature (as “Brain and Learning”) became more know to the public, because then people would not believe things that are not true. Although I think too, that it would be very interesting that it carry out researches about the processes biological really involved in the differences gender-specific (men are more methodical, women more communicators), like the building up neuronal networks during learning in girls and boys, because it would help resolve all these doubts that exist today. But while this does not happen, always will be present the doubt of: there is really a male or female brain?

A healthy life style, is it possible? How?

I think that a healthy life style is totally possible, but for this is necessary it carry out a series of activities, because a healthy life style involve a lot of aspects as the diet, to exercise and tobacco. But, for the peoples have a healthy life, its necessary to educate the population, and we as health’s professionals have a roll very important because we will assist a number important of persons, and the great majority will be women that can pass on this habits in your family.

How is possible a healthy life style?

Beginning for the diet, a healthy person should eat minimum 3 serving of vegetables for day, 3 dairy for day, legumes twice a week, fish twice a week and consume no more of 5 grams of salt, too. And of course, avoid consume of fatty foods, a person that lives off a diet of fatty foods is nothing healthy.

All the previous, its due add to exercise for be in a good physical state (this involve a healthy life style). For example, execute half hour of aerobics exercise at least 3 times at week and walk at least half hour all the days. If the people be excuse speaking that don’t have time, its can give alternatives, as that they walk up the stairs of subway, instead of it walk up by the escalator and that besides they get off the small bus one or two blocks before that it arrive at their homes.

For other side, we should take in count the tobacco, a lot of people smoke nowadays, and this is not good for the health, the tobacco a long period can cause lung cancer, a disease very terrible for a person. For this reason the best option it is does not smoke. A person that not smoke take a bet stapes in her life with respect a her health, because if the tobacco do not produce cancer can produce many respiratory diseases, too. Although smoke 2 or 3 times for week can be harmful, it’s not advisable, it not smoke is the better option.

If the people carry out all this advices, they will achieve be completely healthy.

My Birthday number 8

Hello!!

In my life I have had many nice moments, but in the best childhood memories is one that I remember much in particular, is my birthday number 8. It was in 1997, and my dad rented a restaurant called “Rigolletto” that had a proper place for events. This place had two rooms, one was like a huge courtyard with children’s playground (swings for example), and other where there were tables with food (hot dogs, crisps and a lot of snacks). My birthday was on Saturday July 5^th, 1997, I invited all my cousins, my classmates and my friends, so that day there were many people celebrating with me, besides of my parents of course.

When we were in full party, suddenly clowns appeared and turn the environment really happy, they painted all our faces, it carries out very fun games and when everyone sang happy birthday for me, after I asked the three wishes; they made me give the bite of luck in the cake!! This was very entertaining for all guests because I destroyed my beautiful cake with my mouth; the cake was of chocolate and had much delicacy with chocolate chips.

Since that time thereafter in all my birthday made me put my face in the cake.

Until today my cousins remember this birthday, I think that this birthday was one of the most enjoyable of my life, because in the next years my dad rented the same place, but never was as magical as that year.

…Really this is my unforgettable birthday!!

My study tour

Hi!!!

Today after of a lot a time without write in my blog I’ll do it again. But now for the intermediate course English! (Before was for pre-intermediate course).

And in this opportunity I will speak about my tour study, an unforgettable experience for me.

This travel was four years ago, on 2006, and I was 16 years old. The adventure began the night of October 27^th on a bus in San Fernando with my classmates of college, some parents and a teacher, our destination was Bariloche and the trip would last 6 days.

During the first 2 days we travel for Chile and knew Valdivia and Puyehue, both places are very beautiful. The third day, in the morning very early, we continuous our travel to Bariloche, and since we leave Puyehue I started to be awesome with the scenery. The most I liked was that, when we cross the Andes mountain, everything was full of snow, and it looked like the north pole, it was a beautiful scenery. When we arrived to Argentina, the road was build next to the lakes of a fascinating color. When we arrived to Bariloche it was the most emotion because we get for a walk, ate chocolate that is very typically of this place and also, we visited one of the factory. We went to a “free fork”, and of course one night went to a disco, too, and this was one of the most entertaining things.

We spend 3 days in Bariloche and then, we return to Chile.

This was the unique time that I been out of Chile, and it was one of the bets experiences that I has until now. For this reason I wanted to shear it and I hope that you like them!!

See you later!!
