My experience with english.

Image
Hello guys, in this blog i will talk about my experience with learning English in general. I learned English by playing videogames, since I was able to play in a computer I have been exposed to English. So, for me it’s natural to understand English, and read it. What I need to improve is my vocabulary, but even in my mother’s language I need to improve my vocabulary. In general, my experience in university learning English has been tedious; I don’t really like to feel obligated to learn a language, and I feel comfortable with my base English, I don’t pronounce it very well though.  These blogs have been a good way to share with other people our experiences, and its way more didactic than just learning grammar and such like in school. I think I need to improve my pronunciation, more than my vocabulary, by actually speaking English, I hear a lot of English and read a lot too, but I barely speak, and I would need a situation where I need to speak, for example visiting an Engl...

Plans for summer holidays

Image
Hello my fellow readers, in this blog will write about my plans for these summer holidays. Even though I would prefer to stay in my home, because I dislike going in long trips, sleep 50% of the day, go out with friends to some parties, and play videogames, I have been planning to go to the beach with some friends. My grandmother has a little house in Horcón, It’s near Quintero, V region. When I was a kid, I used to go there every summer holiday with my family, but as I grown I refused to go anymore, it was boring, I had usually nothing to do, and I never liked going to beaches with too many people.  Around Horcon, there are 3 beaches, ventanas, which has an oil and gas refinery near, and I feel like it’s a little bit filthy. Horcon itself, which doesn’t have a big beach, it’s mainly a fishery, and artisanal shops. And El tebo, this beach is where I like to go, it doesn’t have many people, because you need to go down an entire hill and the beach is beautiful, a ...

Drugs: Alcohol

Image
Hello guys, in this blog i will talk about alcohol. It’s one of the most common drug that’s consumed. Chile is one of the most alcoholic countries in the world and alcoholism can be a serious problem.  Alcohol is one of the few drugs that I have consumed, usually as a social activity. I like to go out with friends to parties, drink a lot of alcohol and have fun, usually I don’t have hangovers the next day so it’s only fun for me. It’s an activity that I like to do once or twice per month, but not too much. I really like to observe other people getting drunk, even though I’m drunk too, it’s funny how they behave. Some people start doing silly things, others get drowsiness and after a while they fall asleep, others just enjoy more, like me, I’m usually a serious person, but when I’m drunk I like to dance.  After a while drinking you start feeling dizziness, it means that your body is completely intoxicated with alcohol, reaching your brain. It’s never a good thing...

Post graduate studies

Image
Hello my fellow readers, in this blog i will tell you a little bit about a post grade course that I might take in the future.  I have always been interested in working on a laboratory, so it’s a must to take a post grade.  I would like to do a PhD in pharmacology or pharmaceutics science. I want to do a research in any area so i lean more towards pharmacology, because it’s interesting to see how a drug works in our bodies, how it affects our cells.  On the other hand, I would like to do an epidemiology post grade if there’s one available, it’s related towards clinic pharmaceutics, so maybe it’s a part of the pharmacology PhD. This area is based on studies and analysis of populations to prevent diseases, doing a statistical analysis of causes and effects of health, as my mind is more mathematical, and in this area you need to interpret a lot of data. If it’s possible, I would like to study abroad, countries like Sweden or Norway have a good level in science, a...

An almost perfect machine: our amazing body.

Image
Hello guys. I can’t specify an organ or system in our body that I’m amazed with. I’m impressed with our body in general. Every system works together, every organ work together in a way or another. For example, our brain controls our thoughts, our body, but the brain alone isn’t enough to express those thoughts, to move our body. We need our skeletal system as a support for every organ and tissue, our muscular system to move ourselves around, move everything inside us, like our heart or bowel, to respond to what our brain is telling us to do.  I can go on describing why our entire body is impressive, but there is way too much to say about it.  Keeping our entire body healthy is a pretty difficult task, even though we don’t need to follow a strict diet, we should workout, and that’s the most difficult part, having an exercise routine. I’m convinced that doing a little bit of exercise every day and drink enough water can help us with several health problems, keeps ou...

My best holiday/concert ever...

Image
Hey, hello… hey… I would write about my best concert ever if i had been in one, so I will go with my most enjoyable holiday ever… if I remember one… To be honest, I ain’t too crazy about going out in holidays, I prefer sleeping a lot, waking up late, not going in long trips, I really hate long trips. It’s not like I haven’t gone to beautiful and peaceful places, but if the city wasn’t this stressful, I would prefer staying here rather than go somewhere else. I can talk a little bit about a holiday with my family I guess. So in this holiday we went to the south of Chile, with my mom, uncle and grandmother, only us four. We stayed in Collipulli, near Temuco, for a week or so and we decided to sort of “explore” the areas around, even though it was somewhat exhausting, visiting national parks, rivers, and villages left me beautiful memories about those places, nature is such a peaceful place to be in. Again if the trips weren’t so long maybe I would enjoy way more goi...

A country i would like to visit

Image
Hello guys, in this blog i will talk a little bit of South Korea. South Korea is the most appealing country for me. I have a lot of interest in their culture, after so many conflicts with China and Japan they keep their roots almost intact, for example, their language is unique and it differentiates a lot from both Chinese and Japanese, it’s also somewhat easier to learn than other Asian languages for non Asian speakers.  It’s a pretty safe place to live, even though now days it’s seen as a dangerous place because the conflicts with North Korea. South Korea is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world and i would like to live in Busan for a while, it's a beautiful port city, connected with Gyeongiu. If I had the opportunity to visit South Korea, first of all, I would go  to a K-pop concert, I love many k pop groups, and its likely most of them will never come to Chile.  There is the food too, in every travel you think about wha...
