My english learning experience.

The truth is that I don't like so much english I know is important for our future jobs and that's why I have tried to learn as much as I can also because is useful in the daily life.

At university I have learn a lot because every class we have practiced talking and writing as you can see, I think that having a blog has been a good way to practice our writing skills because we must do it every week and because I think that read blogs from our classmates helps us to increase our own habilities. 

Something that I have noticed when I write and more when I speak is that I have a reduce english vocabulary, when I read this is something that can be less notorius because you can know the meaning of the words according to context but is not like you can invent words while you are speaking. Something that I tried this year was every time that I didn't knew a word search it in the dictionary and I have felt that this idea has helped me.
The best part of learning english is that I can apply what I learned in class in other things that are not related to university for example in the summer and during my free time in the first semester I subtitled some series and it was really funny for me. And for this summer I plan to read a book in english that is in my house.
I really hope in the future to have greater dominance of this language because I know is a very good tool when you work in the scientific area and also hope to study or work for a while in a country with english like first language.

A recent problem.

This problem happened this year, in fact it was this semester during the week of the Universitary Olympics Games (JOE for its acronym in spanish). I went with a classmate to watch a volleyball game that was in a Beauchef's gym. We watched the game and after that I had to go home. I was not sure if I could remember the way to subway because I almost never learn the ways to anyway when I go for the first time, but this time this was not the problem because I could. When I get to the metro station I charged my card with $400 chilean pesos that was all the money that I had and after that like everyone does I went to the tourniquets where there were two people to enter before me, when it was my turn I payed and I really don't know what happened in that moment but suddenly the card didn't have enough money. It was really strange and I didn't know what to do, the first thing that ocurred to me was looking for the ticket of the charge that I had just done so I sarted with the search but there was a lot of tickets in my backpack, really A LOT, and any of this was the one that I needed in that moment, that ticket never appeared so the first idea was discarded. But ¿what else could I do? ¿Walk all the way home? ¿Ask people passing by for money? None of those ideas convinced me so I kept thinking and suddenly a moment in the past came to my mind. In this scene there was my mother giving me an emergency subway ticket of those you get when the subway fails and me putting it in my wallet. It was my most appreciated memory in that moment. After this flashforward I took the ticket from my wallet and went home. And that's how my problem was solved!

Postgraduate studies.

I feel like there will be necessary hundred of years to reach this moment of my life and probably when I get there my decision will be different, but now I would like to do a postgraduate about plants and

Penicillin discovery.

Was September,1928 when Alexander Fleming in a casual way discovered penicillin. It all started with a culture plate where the penicillin fungus developed inhibiting the bacteria that was originally in the culture plate. And this is how the first antibiotic (a drug used to treat bacterial infections) was discovered.

As I said before Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) was the discoverer. He was a scottish scientist sun of a farmer, studied in Royal Polytechnic Institution and  in St. Mary's Hospital Medical School.

Before this discovery people just died for simple and more complex infections

The most memorable movie I've seen.

When I was in my first year of secondary in history we were studying first and second world war, at that moment this was a topic very new and interesting for me. The same year I saw at my home "The boy in the striped pyjamas" is a movie that is about two boys that meet each other during second war, one of them is jewish and the other is german, the german boy lives next to the concentration camp where the jewish boy is and they are separated just for a wire fence.




   I don't think that this is the best movie I have seen about world wars but maybe the fact that the meaning characters were kids and their innocence about what was going on around them were things that made me think about the reality behind the story (remember that I had just studied this topic in school). In this analysis of the movie I couldn't understeand why jewish people had to suffer this way and I thought about the millions of them that die just for be/born jewish it was sad and I cry a lot.

For those that haven't seen it I recommend to watch it, I don't say that it will be the best movie you will see but it deserves to be watched and it will take only 1h and 34 minutes! If you see it I hope you enjoy :)

The best holidays.

Totoralillo, La Serena.

I think that it was the summer of 2005 or 2006 I'm not sure. We went with my family to La Serena for almost 2 weeks, we stayed in my aunt and cousin's house who lives there. 

I remember that we travel in bus, the trip take like 6 hours and my mother bought us headphones so we could watch the movies that were showed in the tv bus and when we return to Santiago they showed the same movies. 

During vacations we went to three different beaches, we visited a museum and toured around city.
The only beaches I knew before this trip were some of the 5th region and it were so different principally because of the water temperature at the first ones I only could put my feet in the water but in La Serena I even could swim.

Last year we went to La Serena again but this time was different. My older sister went with her husband and my other sister didn't go. I'm not going to say it was worst it just was different. 

I think that our first time in La Serena was the best because it was the first. Everything was new and we were sharing like real family holidays for the first time, that's what made them special. 

 El Faro beach, La Serena.

A country I'd like to visit.

The truth is that if I would have the opportunity to go to almost any country I probably would, but in this case we have to choose one and the country that is on the top of my list is Denmark.
I have heard so many times about Denmark that is one of the countries with better quality of life, that their habitants are the happiest and I would like to see why.
Also through photos on the internet I have seen the beautiful landscapes and cities there are.
I don't know which are the main attractions there that's why I haven't thought what I would like to do if I went but probably would be something like walk around the city and eat because if something important exist is to eat a typical food when you visit a place.
And principally I want to see their lifestyle and for that maybe I should live there for a while I don't believe that go on vacation would show me that things.
