Blog 10 Final blog

Hello everyone in this occasion I’m going to talk about my experience learning English at University.

First of all, the last semester I learned how to use a blog, how write and edit the posts, and is very easy and funny. And in this semester I could keep learning about the online blogs, so in this subject I learn not only about the English, I learn too about the online blogs.

The experience learning English at university was very funny and I could learn a lot more.  I could practice my English because every Friday we must write some new blog. I learned new words and expression, and now I feel more secure about write in English. Of course, I have to keep learning more. My writing skills were improving because I practice a lot, and with every new blog, I feel more secure about it.

Also I practiced how to talk in English with every video. I learn how is the pronunciation of words that I didn´t know. That was very useful.

In the future, I would like to include another form where we can write in English, not only the blogs. I would like to include too some kind of revision of all the blogs, for we could know about ours mistakes and doing better the next time.

I would like to keep learning English in the future, especially about dentistry technical vocabulary for read papers and do conferences in scientist congress.

The experience of learning with my friends was a good experience

I hope you enjoy this post and see you in the next time. Bye.

Blog 9 Changes to my study programs

Hi everybody this s a new blog about changes to my study programs

Dentistry now is in a process of change, where it´s changing since an older paradigm to a new one. This change is globally but it´s recently in our country. For that reason, in Chile only two universities are changing them curriculum, University of Chile and University of Concepción. The changes in the curriculum have caused disadvantages and for that, I would like to change some things in my career.

First of all, I would like to change the organization of the subjects. The contents are given very quickly and sometimes, some contents have to be postponed because of time. This is serious because already has happen the teachers assume that we know contents of the last years but we don’t know it, so we have to study extra contents that doesn´t corresponds to us. Also the stress and the mental pressure of learn a lot of content in a very short time, are doesn’t healthy.

On the infrastructure, I would like to change the classroom into a modern classroom with better technology. Also I would like to improve the air-conditioning system, especially since October.

Also I would like to add more recreation areas for the students and more option to lunch.

In the library I would like to add more study rooms and make a bigger library.

Finally on the courtyards, I would like to add more vegetation like grass or trees, and improve the view of the Faculty.

I hope you enjoy this blog and see you on another occasion. Bye!

Blog 8 Summer Holydays

Hi everybody this s a new blog about my summer holidays.

For me summer holidays are a synonym of beach trips. With my family on every summer we go to the beach someday. We often go to Antofagasta, Iquique or Arica, and we use to have a good time together. But not only we go the beach, on every summer we go to visit my dad´s family in Santiago, so since i was a kid, I came to Santiago every summer, for that doesn’t was so difficult to me get used to this city. But my better memories of my old summer holidays are the long hours with my friends when we went to ride a bicycle. We used to go to the river and pass the day in there.

Now, on my summer holidays I go to visit my family, and we go the beach some days. I´m counting the days are left. The weather in Santiago is different to the north; the heat of this city is suffocating.

Also the summer holidays are for rest, is the time of year that we can sleep late. Also we can go out, do sport and watch a lot of movies.

The summer holidays are very necessary to me right now.

In the future I would like to travel to a very relaxing place. But the thing that I want more is have free time for do anything that I want.

I hope you enjoy this blog and see you in another occasion. Bye!

Blog 7 An interesting pictures of myself

Hello everybody, in this occasion I`m going to talk about an interesting pictures of myself.

It was difficult to choose a picture for commenting here, but finally I chose this. It`s a picture of me and my sister when we were kids, a long time ago. The picture was taken in 2003 when I was 7 years old and my sister was 3 years old. I don`t remember exactly when was taken but it could be in that year because one of my front tooth was missing.

I chose this picture because it`s one of more old pictures that I have with my sister. I have only one sister and we have a close relationship. You can notice in the picture that we were very similar, although now we aren`t. But some people say that we are very similar now. I don`t know.

Because the picture was taken in 2003, it was a printed picture. So my mom scan it and she post it in her Facebook. I don`t know why she did it, it was a little embarrassing, anyway I like the picture and now I have it in digital, nice.

The next year my sister will came here, to live with me because she wants to study here too. So the next year surely we will have more pictures of us and we can do a comparison with this picture, is going to be fun.

I hope you enjoy this blog and see you in another occasion. Bye. 

Blog 6 Postgraduate studies

Hi everybody, this is a new blog about the postgraduate studies that I would like to do.

I`m now in the second year of my career, so I haven`t had classes of all the subjects and areas of the Dentistry, so probably in the future; maybe I will want another thing.

For now, I would like to study Oral Pathology. Of all the subjects that we have had, the ones that I like more are Pathology and Physiology. So I would like to do something in the future related with those areas.

There is a dental specialty related with the Pathology, in fact, its name is Oral Pathology. This dental specialty is in charge of the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all the pathologies of the teeth, tissues and bones of the maxillofacial territory. I like it because the clinical cases are varied and in my opinion, are the most difficult cases. Also, I could help to the people in that things that are more serious.

About the Physiology, there is not a dental specialty of Physiology, but for work in that area you have to do a Master or a PhD and do investigation and university teaching, so this is an option too. This a little different that the first option because here are not in contact with patients, but you can help to, since the investigation and creating new knowledge that it will be useful for the treatment of same sickness.

Anyway, I have time to decide, maybe I will change my option in the future, but for now this are the postgraduate studies that I would like to do.

I hope you enjoyed this blog, and see you in another occasion. Bye. 

Blog 5 My future job.

Hello everybody welcome to this new blog. In this occasion I’m going to talk about my future job.

In this moment I`m studying dentistry so in the future I`m going to work like dentist. But in the dentistry, there are a lot of specialties and occupational areas. Everyone has same area where they want to work in the future, based in abilities or personal tastes, but I don`t know where I`m going to work, because I like almost all the specialties, I would like to do all!

But the areas that I like more are the Endodontics, Pathology and Maxillofacial Surgery. I like those specialties because I like the theory, the clinical practice and also there are funs. Also, in my opinion, thats specialties has the most difficult and unusual clinical cases.  But I haven`t decided for one.

I would like to work not only in clinical, another area that I like a lot, it`s the investigation and university teaching. For do that, is necessary to do same post grade like a Master or a PhD. In this university are all the studying programs that I want,  so It`s more difficult to choose one.

But I`m just in the second year and I haven`t had the enough class for decide; I don’t know right all the specialties and occupational areas on dentistry. So in the future, surely I will know where I`m going to work.

I hope you enjoy this blog and see you in the next time, Good bay. 

Blog 4 What I really into.

Hello everybody, this is a new blog! In this occasion I’m going to talk about what I really into.

It is difficult choice one topic that I like more than others topics. But one thing that I really like and enjoy a lot, is the beach. I like the sea, the sand, the sun, everything!

I lived one year in Antofagasta, a port city in the north, and when I was living there, on every free time that I had, I went to the beach. Antofagasta has nice beaches, but there are not only for swimming or to relax, also you can do different sports, like surf, beach volleyball, scuba diving, etc. Antofagasta has a tropical weather, so in a hot day, there is not a better choice that go to the beach.

Also that I like a lot, is the sea sound, There is nothing more relaxing that the sea sound. It`s really good go the beach and read a good book. Another thing that I like are the seafood, It`s unthinkable to me, go to the beach and not eat fish, I don’t understand that people that when they go to a port city, eat roast chicken or things like that, they are not enjoying the beach!

My perfect holydays are a few days in a port city, and much better if they are in the north of the country.

Thank for read my blog, and I invite you to visit the port cities of the north. See you in another occasion.  

Blog 3 The most embarrassing moment in my life

Hello everybody, this is a new blog.

In this occasion I’m going to talk about the most embarrassing thing that happened to me.

In my entire life, I’ve lived a lot of embarrassing moments, I don’t know if that moments was so much terrible how I remember it, or maybe is just that I’m so easily embarrassed.

Of all the embarrassing moments in my life, I will tell you this.

When I was 6 years old, I was on my first months of the school, in first grade. One morning, my mom woke me up, I prepared myself for the school, and I went to there. When I arrived to the school, my classes started, and in the middle day, I noticed that my backpack is not there! I lost it! The first thing that I thought was that my backpack was stolen. Immediately I started to ask to all my classmates, who was who stole my backpack, I was really angry. The teacher listened to me and she helped me to find my backpack, she asked my classmates and to other grades students. Finally, even all the inspectors were looking my back pack for all the school. One of the inspectors, finally, called my mom to tell her, and she said that my backpack was not stolen, it was in my house, I forgot it in there. Everything calmed down and I felt so embarrassed. The good thing that I didn’t have classes that day; I spent all my day looking my backpack.

I hope that you enjoy this blog, and see you in the next time. Bye! 

Blog 2 My best concert or holiday

Hi everybody in this occasion, I’m going to talk about my vest concert

I haven`t gone to many concert really, in fact, I`ve gone to only one concert in my life, but I`m sure that was my best concert.

The last year, I could go to my favorite band concert. On the beginning at the last year, Coldplay come to Chile and me and my sister went to the concert. It was a very great experience; I really enjoy it, even the line to get in. The concert lasted like a tow hours, Coldplay played them most popular songs, and the show was amazing with all the lights and the performance. My sister and I, were impressed with the show, also we were impressed with the number of the people, and obviously, because we saw Coldplay in live.

We went to that concert because; Coldplay came to Chile and we seized the opportunity to see them in live. My parents gave us the tickets like a present for many birthdays together.

It was a very great experience and it was more special because it was a great moment with my sister.

I hope you enjoy this blog and see you in another occasion. Bye. 

Blog 1 A country that I would like to visit

Hi everybody, this is my new blog, in this occasion I’m going to talk about a country that I would like to visit.

Since that I was a child, I always want to visit some Nordic country. When I was a child a saw some pictures of Nordic`s landscapes and for that moment that I want to go there. A few years later, I learned about the economy and the way of living that the Nordics has. The Nordic`s countries has the most economy at the world, also are the most safeties and happiest countries. The persons in that countries are also the most tolerant and educated persons.

When I was in the high school, an exchange student came from Sweden. She talked me a lot of her country and I decided, I want to visit Sweden, I will travel to there some day in the future, but I will do it. And not only travel to there for holidays, I would like to live on Sweden someday.

Blog 0 My relationship with the English language

Hi everybody, this is a new blog about my relationship with the English language.

I have learned English since I was 6 years old, in other words, since that I started the school. Also my mom is English translator. So I’m close with the English language.  

When I was in the school, I had good grades in English classes; it no was very difficult to me, but now in the university, when I have to read English scientific papers, I notice that I’m not so good in English, and I have many thing that I learned wrong, maybe you already notice at the time that you are reading this.

I like the English language, so the fact that I’m not really good in English, doesn`t demotivates me; to the contrary, it’s a really good incentive for keep studying and learning more.

I also watch a lot of English TV series, and it helps me for learn new expression and to know how the pronunciation is.

Anyway, English language knowledge is very useful, for so many things, and I want to learn more.

I hope that you enjoy it, and see you next time. Bye. 

My favorite subject this term

Hello everybody, in this occasion I’m going to talk about my favorite subject this term. During this semester I had different subjects, some more difficult than others but all very interesting. Already in the third semester of my career, I have subjects that relate more to the professional practice.

My favorite subject was Diagnóstico. The real name of the subject is “Bases científicas y clínicas para el diagnósitco I”, and we call it just “Diagnóstico” because is shorter and easier for remember. We did theoretical classes, where a professor taught us about his knowledge area. That was like a conference in a class room where the professor used a Power Point presentation for his class. In that classes, we learned about different topics like physiology, pathology, microbiology, semiology, and biochemistry. Also, we had seminars and help classes where we could reinforce the contents seen in classes and putting them into practice in clinical cases. Of all the topics, I liked more physiology and pathology. I like the subject because is very interesting and the things that we learned, we are going to use it in clinical practice.

I hope you enjoy this post and see you in the next time. Bye.

Career related website

Hi everybody

In this occasion I’m going to talk about the career related website that I visit more.

Always in the university, you have to do a lot of works. And for do that’s work, always is necessary to have information about the work’s theme.  There is a lot of website that have science information, but not always are trustworthy. If you use information and you are not secure about that information is real or not, you can’t do a good work. That’s why to have a very good and trustworthy Science information´s website, is essential for do a correct work.

PubMed is an online library, who comprises a lot of biomedical literature, life science journals, and online books. In this website you can find a lot of science information, backed up for the science´s community, and there´s be no problem for use it in the university work´s.

PubMed have a searcher where you can search in the database of the website. Is easy for use and allows to do personalised searches for better results. Also have a section where you can find the trending literature, latest literature and PubMed commons.

I visit this website very often, because there is always university´s work to do.

I like this website because is easy to use, is trustworthy, and have a lot information, maybe have information of everything.  

I hope you like this blog and see you in the next time.

My favorite Tv show

Hi everybody

In this occasion I’m going to talk about my favorite Tv show.

I watch a lot of series because I really like it, and I do it for relax. When I have a heavy week and this finally ends, I really like to watch a Tv show. But I have a favorite one, and it’s The Walking dead. I like it because it has a good story and it have interesting characters. The plot is about a zombie apocalypse, where a group of survivors try to have a normal life but the problems are not only the zombies, also there are bad people and they fight for the food and the shelters. It's a really good series and it never disappoints you.

I enjoy the action and suspense series. I prefer English series because are always better than a Spanish series. And I also like the Netflix’s series like a Strangers Things.

I have never watched The game of thrones, but I would like to watch it, many people have tell me that is a nice series. I also would like to watch Dr House. I’m going to watch that series, when I had more free time.

I also recommend Breaking Bad, I watched it all and is a really good series.

I hope you like this blog and see you in another occasion. Bye.

My favorite picture

Hi everybody,

In this occasion I’m going to talk about my favorite picture.

My favorite picture is this. It shows my sister and I, with 12 years at difference. In the left side, are my sister and I, when I was 6 years old. That picture was taken when I graduated at the kinder, and it was taken by my dad. In the right side are we, but 12 years later. That moment was when I graduated at the middle school, and it was taken by my dad too. The two occasions, coincided with my sister`s ballet presentation. She has practiced ballet, since she was very small. The coincidences between the pictures are amazing. My sister took that two pictures and made this pictures for my birthday.

 I really like this photograph because the moments at the pictures, was beautiful family moments and I enjoyed it so much. It remembers me my infancy and the moments with my sister and family. I also like it because it´s a birthday gift. In the picture you can notice the passing of time. I can remember very well the two moments.

I hope you like this blog and see you in the next time.

My pet

Hi everybody, in this occasion I’m gone to talk about pets

When I was younger, I had a pet. Now she’s in my parents' house. When I lived in there, I took care of she, but now is my sister the one who take care of she. It’s a dog, its white, small, and soft, now she’s eleven years old. With my sister, we named her, “Blanca”, because is white, we didn’t think it so much.

I would like to have another pet in the future. I would like to have it now, but I can`t because I don’t have time or space for a pet, bus in the future I will have one. I would like to have a dog.

My favorite pet is dogs, because I like their loyalty and happiness. Also I like that you can play with them. I also like cats, but I’m allergic.

I’m not agree with having exotic pets, because they have their natural environment, and to having like pets, you have to take them away from their environment and the animals become stressed.

I hope you enjoy this post, see you.

My favorite piece of technology

Hi everyone!

In this occasion, I’m gone to talk about my favorite piece of technology. I don’t use so much technological devices, but my favorite is my IPad. Two years ago, my parents gave me an IPad for my birthday, it was an expensive gift but it has been very useful for me today. At the moment I received the iPad, I have use it for study, read, and write the university´s works. It is very useful for all kind of things that I must do in the university. I use it everyday, even in holidays, because I also can see videos with it. I like the iPad because it has many options, a long memory, the battery is very good, and is very easy for use. If I wouldn´t have it, I have to find another thing for study and maybe, it wouldn’t be so good like my IPad.

Post 2 >> Why did you choose this career/study programme?

Hi everybody

When I was a child, my dream was to be an astronaut. When I grow up and started the middle school, I noticed that mi interest area was the biology, so I changed my dream to health`s area. I was very insecure about my future career, so my options were kinesiology, dentistry, medicine, and obstetric. But I finally decided for dentistry because I have experience with the dentistry. I have used orthodontic appliances since I was thirteen, and my family have always had dental problems, my father had a very complicated surgery. Now I can know, that this was my best decision because I love this career and I dream with be a dental surgeon. My experience in the university has been good but exhausting sometimes. I started studying in Antofagasta, I studied for a year and I came here for keep studying the same career. I can notice the differences between two universities and I`m happy with the change, but sometimes I miss my friends and the sea. Santiago is a big city but no so different to Antofagasta, so in that, it not was a big change. In the future, I want to be an specialist and I want to work in a place where I can help to many people.
