English Language Challenges

Hi bloggers today is my last post and I`m going to talk about my English performance this year , I decide to took this curse because perhaps I know basic English because I went to an English school, when you don`t practice it for years ( I`m not going to school since 2010) you forgot some things. 

I like English and I think that is very important to know different languages, is for that reason that I`m doing English here in university too, also I want to learn other language but today I`m not going to write about it. I think that curses here in university are very good and entertaining for me, I like going to classes and learning more about it.
 The teaching methodology is very good because every week we have to write in our blog about many tasks, is a good way to improve your writing and to learn about different terms, also in classes we practice our oral and listening English, talking about different things of our society or thing that happened to us.
I have to improve some vocabulary and also continue improving all the things I had learned,  also I want to travel to other counties to practice it, but by now I practice in classes and in my daily life in songs or movies, and that is something I love about it because I don’t have to read subtitles in movies to understand it or I don’t have to translate song to know what are they talking about, and that is something I appreciate about knowing English, also for doing some works in english here in university is more easy for me than for my other classmates. 
Goodbye and see you soon!

2014

Hi friends today I`m going to do an evaluation of my 2014, this year started very difficult for me, I didn`t enjoyed the summer to much because I was working so then in march when I have to go to my classes I wasn`t with all the energy I need.


It`s very important to rest a little in the summer so you can start your semester with energy, although that, the last semester was a very good semester I finished all my curses with good marks, without making any exam on a lot of curses.
I have a little problem with stress when the end of the semester comes close; I have headaches and other things, so I expected to much the vacation.
But now I realized that all effort has a good reward!
Now I`m finishing the second semester of the 4th year and I expect finishing it just like the first one, with good marks but no so tired and I am looking for a work related with my career this summer, but only for the first month (December). I expect learning a lot, because I will have a vision much closer of what I´m going to do all my life and start getting related to my future work.

I know that I have time yet to achieve all the things I want to, I know that is not easy. I expect to be a good professional, but the most important thing is to be happy on what you do, that is what it really matters.

Facebook

Hi people, today I`m going to talk about Facebook and my relationship with it.

I think that Facebook have a lot of positive aspects, you can use it to communicate with people that you don`t see too much or people who are in other cities or countries, also Facebook is a good plataform for making busines.
I use it very much to talk with school friends or for making university works with my classmates.
I think that people use Facebook because is a free and fast way to communicate and you also can see the other person with a webcam and you can upload photos and comment them. 

On the other hand I think that Facebook or all the websites that have personal information could be dangerous, because people know everything about you, what are you doing or what you expect to do, so you have to accept only people you know like friends or family. 
Another negative aspect is that people today are all day in Facebook is like a magnetic thing, you have to do a balance for your responsibilities and you free time, I have to recognize that when I`m bored I use Facebook to see friends photos and posts, but now also cellphones have Facebook, so you are connected all day if you want and if someone talks to you immediately you receive it and you can respond him or her. 

You have to use Facebook with caution and responsibility, because is a double-edged sword.

How green I am

Hello bloggers today I`m going to talk about a very difficult term for me, how to be green.
I think that you can be green doing things that helps the environment, and reduce the pollution, so you can be green if you walk instead of using a car, or if you recycle, reducing energy, using rechargeable batteries, etc.

I have to admit that I`m not green, because this year I started using my car a little more, and in my house we don`t recycle too much, a few years ago my family had the intention of recycling the trash but it doesn`t worked because we don’t have a store place near to left our trash so I think that the minister of environment have to promote the recycle in all the city, because people have the intention but no the facilities for doing it. 

I want to do my own orchard in my house, and help pollution with that because the agriculture is one of the first contaminating institution because they use a lot of chemicals products, and destroyed biodiversity.
Reducing energy is also a way to contribute to the environment, I do this a lot like turning off the lights when you are not using it, or unplug the electrical thing when you are not using it too, also there are other ways to produce electricity with solar energy but this way is too expensive. 
We have to continue working for it, I think that people have the intention but some times is very difficult, and the education is the better way for create conscience, teach how to protect the world pollution and the environment is something that has to be teach at school.

Trash Management

Hello today I`m going to talk about the trash management, I think that is very important to know what is going on with the trash we throw away. I admit that I don`t know too much of what happened with our trush and I don`t have to much conscience about it, so I strated to search information about it.

In Chile, each person have a average of 1 Kg per day of trush, that means that is more less 16.000 ton of trush per day.

Residues in general affect in many ways to our planet, affects to the water quality (to goundwater as well as water in surface), also modify the biomass, like flora and fauna. The soil is also affected by the trush, changing the fiscal and chemical structure of it and also all the gases emission (metano and CO2) it is a problem.

Some disease that are caused by the trush management, and also you have problems with the bad smell that the trash produce, so you can`t live near it, also you have problems with the noise that all the transporter trash trucks make.

In 1995 all the trash of Chile were put in dumping sites and rubbish dumps, today the trash goes to a sanitary place that have several requisition and sanitary tecnique, although Chile is having some progress we need to improve a lot in this term.

Here I give you some action we could do to help trash management:

  • Use returnable package 
  • Use rechargeable battery.
  • Repair our clothe, instead of buying new or you can give it to someone how can need it.
  • Deposit glass, plastic and tin things to appropriate places. 
So let start helping the world!

My future job

Hello bloggers today I`m going to talk about my future, as you know I`m studing agricultural engineering and I love my career because we are the ones that could help the world hunger, a term that had a big argue in te last post of GMOs, so it`s a big responsibility.
When I decided studying this I had a tiny idea of what is career means and now it had been passed four years since that moment and I think I have all the basic knowledge of it, and I have all the tools to be a good professional, although I still have some years until I finished my studies.
I`d like to work outdoors because I love to be in contact with the nature, but if sometime I would have to work indoors I think that it couldn`t be so bad.
One thing I`m sure of my future job is that I`m going to travel a lot, working in other countries is one of my dreams, I exactly don`t know where but it could be New Zealand or some place of Europe.
When I finished my studies here I pretend continue studying in other country, doing some postgraduate study, and start working there.
I haven`t decided yet in what area of this career I`m going to work, there are so many! Buy I have some time yet, so I have to continue studying and learning about the different areas of it.

Genetic modified organisms

Hi! today I`m going to write about the GMOs (genetic modified organisms), they are plants whose genome has been modified using technology and the main reason for doing it is to produce food for humans and animals.
These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content, or if you found some gene of interest in a plant, for example a cold tolerance and you what to introduced it to others plants you can do it, so the genetic-modified plant will tolerate that weather too.


Some of the criticisms against GM food are the environmental activities, religious organization, and some people said that they are some human risk like allergenicity for GM plants like peanuts.


So genetically-modified foods have the potential to solve many of the world`s hungry and malnutrition problems, and also to protect the environment by increasing yield and reducing the use of some chemicals like herbicides and pesticides, but it is a technology that is in a process and we cannot afford to ignore a technology that has such enormous potential benefits, but we must proceed with caution to avoid the human health and the environment as a result of our enthusiasm for this powerful technology.
