Hello bloggers:
How are you this week? I hope you are fine :)

Today is the last blog of this semester because the classes are coming to an end; this is why today’s topic will be about my experience on this course. I will talk about how I have learned in the classes that I have had.

I think that English for a university student is really important for times like these. This is because for example, in many classes they hand out texts that are written in English because the professional investigation doesn’t matter the area of study, use this language as an international way of saying things so that it can be read and understood by anyone in the world. This is why I think that the use of the blog is useful to exercise daily this language.

The truth is that it is really hard for me to learn this language; since I don’t really get along with the subject and that I started learning it when I was already older around seventh grade. This is why I think that sometimes it is really hard for me in comparison to my other classmates that had the chance to study it and learn it since they were very little. This is also why I don’t use English much outside of class, but I am able to understand parts of the conversation when people from outside of Chile talk in English.

But either way I would like to learn how to talk English fluently, but I think that it would be easier for me to learn when I find the right time and actually want to learn not when I have to do it for academicals purpose because of the career I’m studying.

I hope you have liked the blogs that I have written this semester. See you soon <3  

Hello bloggers : 

How are you this week? I hope you are fine :) 

Today I will talk about year 2014. Specifically, the English class, because I feel that the other classes have much yet.

There is no doubt that when I have passed the english levels I have learned many new thing but I have to admit that it is very hard for me sometimes. Even though I understand the basics, when I have to do things like listening, everything becomes very hard, but with a big amount of practice class to class it has helped me very much. On the other hand, I still have to practice how to have fluent conversations with people, but I think that in order to talk in english first I have to leave my embarrassment aside.

This semester has been very similar to the one before when it comes down to how we are being evaluated. I think that the methods use to evaluate if you have learned are very good because it is how you are supposed to evaluate when you are learning a new language. The only thing I think has to be taken into consideration are the blogs, because sometimes many of us didn’t know how to handle the topic which made it even harder to do it in english for example de “ Genetic Modified Organisms” and  “Permaculture”.

I hope I keep on learning on my own when this course ends, because like we all know, english has become something fundamental for any job or in our case as foresters, to realize good investigations. This is because many of the articles related to de career are written in this language.

 Regards :))

Today I will talk about facebook.

The truth is I don’t use facebook that much, when I do use it is to coordinate projects for the university. I use it little because I use another way of communication, Whatsapp, because I find it more comfortable to talk to someone since I just have on my phone where as if I have facebook on my phone it takes away a lot of battery so you really need to use it from a computer.

The benefits that facebook has are that I can share the songs that I like the most on my wall, so that other people can also hear them and maybe they would like them also and talk to people that I haven’t seen for a long time such as friends that I have had when I was younger and somehow people find each other again on this site or even people that I would like to meet.

On the other hand I also has disadvantages for example that since anyone can talk to you sometimes bad people can talk to you and they can have bad intentions towards you  so that is not good. Another disadvantage is that there are people that always send invitations to play some games son that is pretty annoying and I don’t like that very much. But now facebook has the capacity to block some of these things with security but there are people that can still find you on this platform.
See you :) Regards.

Hello bloggers:How are you this week? I hope you are fine :)Today I will talk about environment.  

I think that recycling is very important for the environment, but sadly in our country it is not very frequent because people are not very organized and also it is not that cheap to create and maintain institutions that do this job.

I honestly do not recycle very much and I don’t participate in any organization related to this, but I would like to re use certain materials and build art work that surprises people in the streets.

For example, I have seen a very innovative idea that recycles old soda bottles and turns them into pots for hanging plants, it is a very good idea but not that many people do it. I f we consider the costs of this activity they are less than the ones for regular pots, like the ones bought in the store.

I think that in Santiago this new way of thinking is not very used because there isn’t much information about it and there isn’t any motivation from the government, and they don’t support the independent organization that do recycling in our country.

As I said before, I don’t recycle much, but I do use public transportation and walk so I help reduce a little bit acustic and air contamination that is caused by cars and the over population of these, Even if it is little it is still a very good way to help the environment.

Hello bloggers:How are you this week? I hope you are fine :)Today I will talk about GMOs.The letters GMO stands for “Genetically modified organism” and they are organisms that their genetic material has been changed because of different techniques. These GMOs can , in theory, be found in any field with living organisms such as crops or fish and they are generally used in crops to get better quality products for example a type of corn that gives bigger corns or in fish to create commercial products like glow in the dark fish. In forestry genetic modified organisms are used very often in species like Pinus radiata to get better products such as a better type of wood or in other species so that they can survive to colder climates or less rain. By simply selecting the better species and only using those seeds they are already making a GMO, because they are not only created in labs but also by using the better seeds. In my field these things can be harmful when they are the only ones that are being planted and this can be dangerous for preserving the species. I think that some GMOs are not that harmful for people such as when selecting better crops that have a better flavor and such, but when new things are created it is very complex because they are not natural and they are made in a lab.See you!

How are you this week? I hope you are fine :)

Today I will talk about my future job.  

When I first started with forestry, I always thought of working outside in the fresh open air, in a natural forest or in a plantation, but always trying to be the least as possible in an office.

About what I want to work on, I honestly do not know and I am not very sure because with the time passing Y learns different things and I like them even more and in every one that I learn I would happily work on. I believe that every time I like it more the subjects of my new academic period.

Currently, I have offered field trips in the future may be my steady job, but I have not always been able to go. However, I like the idea of constantly traveling.

After you finish studying, I would like to work as “guardaparques” a while, because I think it's very entertaining and I know many places.  So could visit: Torres del Paine, Río de los Cipreses, Vicente Pérez Rosales and others.

Nature gives a huge reward. Pablo Neruda said, "If the mountain will not stop you can never enjoy the scenery."

See you, regards :)

Today I will talk about animals.

Animals… I think that they a big company for people, they cheer them up every day and distract them from the routine.

I have always liked dogs, but ever since I live in my department, because of the space, I have a hamster of color gray, it is young and it called Math hamster; it is Chinese hamster. But in general, I like all types of animals domestic.

Of the wild animals the one that I like the most is the chameleons, because they can change colors to blend in with the place.

About the proper and responsible owning of pets, I think that the government should finance the neutering of them, and should promote conscience in the people, because it is important that the animals do not suffer, that the do not pass hunger and that they can have a home where they are taken care of.

I wish the state will allocate some of their funds for the animals that have been abandoned on the streets could receive food and home, but this is not a priority for Chile.

See you, regards.
