English language challenges

Oh! The English language is my personal nemesis!

Along my university life the English subject been a trouble for me... but I should confess two years ago I began to "enjoy" the English class... I think it's because we begin to use the blogs for our learning.

I think the better about the English subject is the blog's hour, because I'm feeling most comfortable than in other types of activities. When I write in the blog my objective is express an idea and I try to learn vocabulary and all necessary for get my goal. I think use the blog helped me to thinking in English and know more about vocabulary and English expressions. But I would change the revision because although I know I have a lot of  grammar mistakes, I don't know what I did bad specifically.

I think I must be improved a lot of things! For example my grammar, after I write in my blog I try to check my post and I almost always I forget little details that change all! Besides my audition ability in English is awful! seriously I think I should heard one year only English for I can improve my ability... and my pronunciation... oh! I think my only solution is... travel to New Zealand for learn English and have a good level because is very difficult can practice in a country where don't speak in English... I think I need immerse me in the English world for can learn this idiom. 

Today I use English only in the Fridays in class... but I'm thinking in English for more time... I don't speak in English because would be rare talk English with other persons outside the classroom. But I think begin to thinking English is a great advance for me

Hello!

Today I’m going to talk about some activities I like to do in my free time.

Mainly, I make three activities in my free time; read, write and draw.  I love read. When I have a little time I try to read some novel or story; now I'm reading a Jhon le Carré novel named "Absolute friends" is a history about two friends; Ted and Sasha and your history of meetings and failed meetings along your lives. It’s very interesting because happens in the cold war and have historical components

Is the end of semester and I haven't much time... so I can read one or two times in the week. I like read in my room and lose me in the world of the book. I think the better about read you can know about different topics and you can feel the histories as own.

Other activity I do in my free time is write. I like write poems and stories. I do it whenever I can... three or four times in the week, especially when I'm feeling sad or very happy. I like write because I'm feeling good when I do, is a way of express my feelings and thoughts in a creative way.

I like me other thing, connected with earlier activity is draw. I like do drawings about my stories and I draw my boyfriend's stories too because both share the like for write. I'm not a professional illustrator but I'd like learn about illustration because I really love this activity... especially when other persons tell me if I can draw your stories… I’m feeling a true illustrator! =)

Ok

It’s all!

Good bye

This year...

Hello!

Today I’m going to talk about this year

This year isn’t very well for me… was a year all of decisions!

The 2013 is an important year for me because now I’m ending my career and the next year I will do the practice! Is an important success! Because it now I’m feel different when I go to class… the next year I will go to the university only once time week for the degree… and all will be different.

In relation to my studies I’m feeling happy because I can take good courses and realized interesting works about the child and your rights. I like work with child and this year I can learn more about your topics and problematic So I decided realized my practice in an institution working with child and your education because I think the child are the future of the world and is very important can contribute with your development process…

I think this year I can know different points of view and do more things for the child so I’m felt a useful person… I felt I can contribute since my profession in different areas and topics…

But in the life not all is good… and this year I lived bad situations too… this year I cross difficulties in my relationship with my boyfriend and this problem affect my performance in the university… I think this problem was the most terrible in the year… because it’s a situation beyond our possibilities… but now we can solve this situation… And I’m feeling good about my decision and our abilities to get ahead =)

Maybe, the most important achievement this year will be ending this stage in my life… can pass my courses and solve difficulties… Now I’m feeling better than the last year because I trust in my abilities . 

music

Hello!       

       

Today I’m very tired! And I have a terrible headache! I can’t think about a specially topic for today… so, I’m going to speak about the music, because other classmates did it.

First of all I must recognize I don’t know anything about music. I’m a simple person; when I listen a nice song I remember your lyric and after I search the song in Google… I can't remember things as the group or the style of the song, I'm don't worry about this, so My pc have a lot of music in different styles... 

When I known my friend; Jorge I discovered the music world! He is a musician from the soul, he Know a lot of groups and singers… and a lot of music from other times! He loves the antique music and showed me a lot of great bands!

I like “Queen” and “The Beatles” and antique singers as Triny Lopez (sing “for dancing the bamba” it’s a funny song) or Dorys Day (sing of “perhaps, perhaps, perhaps”) I like hearing this songs because have a rhythm are relaxed or funny… and I can enjoy the song.

When I hear a Spanish song I only pay attention to the lyrics and I can’t enjoy the sound… with the English songs is the opposite… so I like the Spanish songs with nice lyrics mainly. I like a Jorge Drexler, because your songs are beautiful poems! I like "Love of Lesbian" because spoken about different topics with a special mood and I like "Perota chingo" because your music is magical.

I think the music is very special… because you can feel it independent of your culture; it’s a global way expression.

Ecological mind!

I must confess the environmental is a worry for me since I arrived to Santiago. When I lived in San Felipe city, this topic was not important for me and nobody spoke about this…  In Santiago the people speaks about the ecological topics and the things about recycling are a trendy

But protect the environment is more than only recycle!

When I began to interest in this topic I learned about environmental friendly practice in the internet and I tried to share this way for exist with my friends… but is very difficult! The people don´t want to change your practices and in generally they try not to think about the importance of your acts for the environmental

Now I live in a building with a system of recycle, in side to the trash there is a compartment for recycle plastics, glasses and cardboard… it’s easy and I try to recycle all the possible (although my brother don’t help me).

I didn’t join an eco-organization… mainly because I don’t have time for be active member but I follow various eco-organizations in the social networks… is the perfect way for know more about the topic and know tips for protect the environment; recycle, reutilization, reduction and save energy.

I think recycle, save energy and don't buy unnecessary things help to reduce my carbon footprint…

The most important about the protect the environment is the culture! The persons need a ecology culture and they precise information about your acts and this impact the environmental! In Santiago it’s especially important the topic of the pollution

 I can’t be accustomed to see a black-cloud over the city!  I breathe this contaminated air! it's terrible!

My talented friend

Hello!     

   

Today I’m going to talk about a specially friend and your talent

I want speak about him because He will be a birthday and I’m thinking about your present.

Jorge is my best friend, is a very interesting person! He studied engineering and knows about a lot of things! But the most especially about Jorge is your talent for write… Jorge is an author in potential! He writes many stories about different topics, He haves a similar style to E. Poe… your stories have mysterious and suspense… if you read a story by Jorge you can’t stop to read to the end. But exist a problem, Jorge is very insecure! He don´t show your stories… He think your stories are boring or too complicated and hide your stories… is very sad because I think if Jorge know about your talent he can take advantage of it and be a great author!

I admire to authors because they can express with words many things, they can provoke sentiments with your stories… and this is magical! I think if you have a talent is your duty uses it.

In some weeks, Jorge will be birthday and I’m thinking will give an especially present for him… I’m thinking about made a little book with the best stories by Jorge… but now I don’t secure about it… I´m insecure too!

If you have a talent… uses it! On the contrary you lose a great opportunity of realize your dreams!

the anxiety

Hello followers!

Today I’m going to talk about the anxiety, because I found an interesting news about this topic.

You can see the news in this link:

 http://www.theguardian.com/science/head-quarters/2013/sep/27/neuroscience-psychology

If you look statistics about mental health, you can see that 1 of 4 persons experience some type of mental health problem. The anxiety is the most popular of mental health problem… but not always the anxiety it’s a problem… in fact, the anxiety is an emotion very important for the humans because this reaction help us to know about the danger in the environment and was very important in the evolution process. The anxiety it’s a problem when this emotion when it’s a permanent emotion and leave to predict potential dangerous.

The anxiety it’s a big problem for the persons, because they be anxious all the time and can’t have a normal life, the persons with a anxiety disorders can loose your function in progressive way, therefore the anxiety begin to capture the interest of the scientist, they try understand the neuronal mechanism under the anxiety.

A recent Study about the anxiety found that exist a link between the olfactory activity and the region in the brain associated with the emotional reactivity.  The persons with anxiety perceive the smell stimulus as a disagreeable although the stimulus is normal, so maybe  the anxious persons perceive the reality in different way and this create a dangerous sense about the environment.

It’s very important learnt more about the mental health and don’t continue with stereotypes as a Tesco and Asda, that create a Halloween custome about the persons that suffer anxiety, promote a stereotype and without understand this problem.
