My experience learning english at the university

Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about "My english class":

Today every job needs people who are competent in English, because of globalization. Today people are more connected all over the world, and the universal language is English, so the only way to be communicated or to be updated is with this language.
In the health system is very important to know how to talk in English for many reasons, like some books and articles are in English, or the patients can be from other country so is important to understand them, or because we need to travel to work in another country.

Today many Universities prepare people to work in a globalize world, teaching them the language of the word that is English. Universities offer exchanging with other universities from other countries, and also give articles in English to their students, and all of this is because the information is running so fast, from different parts of the word.
The Medicine Faculty form the University of Chile has some courses of English where students can learn the language in four different levels, the first one is started, then come beginner, the following is pre intermediate, and the last is intermediate.

My english class this year is in other place, before the english class was in the campus north (independencia street) , and now is in Quinta Normal, for my classmates this is terrible, because is very far from home but for my this is PERFECT! because I live in this community.

 With this competition, students can study form update books, articles or papers like those who are in English. Also, a lot of doors are opening for students who want to learn more things about those careers abroad, or to work in another country. 

Well, this is my post, and I enjoyed the blog so much, because I could express my opinions about diferrent topic that i like (for example about music) and other topics very important for our carrer. In addition to sharing views with our partners and friends.Another advantage of the blog, is that it's a very dynamic way and close to us. It's more enjoyable to learn and improve our English.

I hope you like it... See you !

Why obstetrics? (blog 7)

Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about "Why obstetrics?"

In my case, at first really  I wanted to study nursing.. a career related with health.  Before postulate for to study (after PSU) i didn’t know what put in first option: nursing or obstetrics because i really like the related with babies, pregnancy.. and also help  old people with different problems … so i asked to my parents to give me advices .. but they said me that i should choose that i really liked.. so i put in first option nursery and then obstetrics.

When i saw that i stayed in Obstetrics i didn’t feel bad, i felt so satisfied. But now , after to really know what do midwifes, i feel so sure about my decision. I think that this career is for me because the focus of it is the pair: mother-son, the relation in my opinion, more important in the life of everyone, the obstetrics are dealing with the care of women and their children during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period,  the midwife monitors the progress of labor,  performing vaginal examination, accelerate the progress of labor by infusion of the hormone oxytocin, provide pain relief, the midwife accompanies physically and psychologically to the mother, imaging is another important way to monitor a pregnancy, this is done to predict problems with the mother; confirm that a pregnancy is present inside the uterus; estimate the gestational age; determine the number of fetuses and placentae; evaluate for an ectopic pregnancy and first trimester bleeding; and assess for early signs of anomalies; in the postnatal the infant's health is also monitored, so I feel so happy working with them, and obviously with all family (father, sons, grandfathers,etc).

Also in the past year we went to hospital and other health centers for practice, so i knew what will we do in the future, and i liked so much.

 I ‘m so anxious for to be a real Midwife!!...Well, I awaiting you enjoy my blog! See you

My favorite musical group (blog 6)

Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about " my favorite band"
 

Coldplay are an english alternative rock band formed  by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, After forming Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish, Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the lineup.  The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998.

 

When I was about 15 years I listened a song on the radio and it very liked me! From this moment i started to listen coldplay always!!! I have all their CD's
 
Coldplay  achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow", followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes.  The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. Their next release," X&Y"
 
My favorite coldplay song: I'd have to say, "What If?". It's so calming and beautiful in every way. It's the perfect song to sing out at the top of your lungs while cleaning your room as well as to fall asleep to. X & Y is my favorite cd. Keep up the good work:
 

What if you should decide

That you don't want me there by your side

That you don't want me there in you life

 

Oooooooh that's right

Let's take a breath, jump over the side

Oooooooh that's right

How can you know it if you don't even try

Oooooooh that's right

 

Every step that you take

Could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break

But that's the risk that you take

 

Well I became a fan of coldplay, i saw their concert on TV and always my dreams was go to a concert of coldplay.

 
Well... I awaiting you enjoy my blog! See you.

Dealing with stress at work

Hello everyone! Today I´m going to talk about "Dealing with the stress at the university"

First, the definition about stress:  Stress is a term in psychology and biology, and  It refers to the consequence of the failure of an organism to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined. We all experience stress in day to day life. In small doses it keeps us energized and interested. In large doses, and if left untreated, stress may become anxiety and be harder to deal with alone.

I feel that if I have a bad grade ruin my future and this is very horrible! However some people are not affected by the terrible stress...In my opinion, to overcome stress we need to balance academic demands and the social demands of college. Socializing and being surrounded by positive people is an important aspect of overcoming stress. It helps to have real supportive people that you like a lot in your life who want you to succeed, especially during finals. There are several strategies that will help us to cope with stressful situations. First, we have to learn to manage our time wisely. Second, we have to set priorities and make the most of our opportunities as a student. Last, we have to learn to say "no".

After all, college students have a lot of stress. There's no denying it, but college is what we make of it. If we stay focused and balance our life, we'll feel much more relaxed and healthier when it's time to wear our cap and gown. Now, that's an achievement we have earned for life! =)

My opinion about "the learning"

Hi everyone! today I chose this topic "There is no time to lose as everything important about the brain is decided by the age of three"

The focal point for the biological basis of learning is the contact point between nerve cells or 'neurons' i.e. the 'synapse'. New synapses grow and develop to create neural networks with experiences of learning. Creation of neural networks is a function of 'synapse modification' or 'neuroplasticity'

The synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses. Although occurs throughout the life of a healthy person, but an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development. Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's "critical period" of life, during which there is a certain degree of neuronal pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses.I think that the processes that are not used, or inhibited during this critical period will fail to develop normally later on in life. 

 Another version, more current in Europe, is the view that very young children must be constantly stimulated in their first two to three years in order to strengthen their learning capacity for subsequent life

Personally I think that is very important and crucial are the experiences of the first three years to a child's future behavior, intelligence, and emotional health; however the brain growth continues after the age of three, and the opportunities for growth do not shut down, because he absence of experiences that will stimulate the brain can have a lasting impact...and for personal experience I know that the childrens are best able to learn a new language when they're young...

bye bye !

A healthy life style Is it possible? how?

Hi everyone!  Today my post is about a healthy life style... Is it possible? How ?

First Im going talk about what is the healty life style...The healthy living is about making healthy choices every day; healthy choices that keep us fit physically, mentally and spiritually. Eating well, being physically active and not smoking are three of the best things we can do to stay healthy. By staying healthy we can help prevent chronic diseases and reduce our risk of becoming ill or seriously injured. Many factors affect the health as family history, gender, culture, education, employment, income, the environment, our coping skills and social support networks. As individuals and groups, there are many things we can do to positively influence our physical, mental, social and spiritual health and well-being.

Living healthier is a personal choice, but everyone has a role to play. Individuals, families, communities, governments and other organizations can work together to create environments and conditions that support healthy living. Some examples include creating smoke-free public spaces ( the tabacco use is the most important preventable cause of death, because this causes cancers of the lung, mouth, lip, tongue, esophagus, kidney, and bladder), making nutritious foods easily accessible or developing communities and buildings that promote physical activity.

 Today's children are less healthy than their forbears. Tooth decay is on the increase, as is obesity. Both are believed to be a direct result of eating too much sugar, salt and fat. These are found typically in the many processed snack foods which children eat regularly. A poor childhood diet increases the risk of chronic illnesses!!

The healthy life style is  possible but is a society rol, because it is a societal problem:

The regular exercise can prevent and reverse age-related decreases in muscle mass and strength, can help increase self-esteem and self-confidence, decrease stress and anxiety, enhance mood, and improve general mental health,  can help control weight gain. This is very important and impresindible for the consequences...the physical inactivity and lack of exercise are associated with heart disease and some cancers, with diabetes and contribute to weight gain.

The solution is in our hands!

My best childhood memories !!!

Hi everyone! This is my second blog with my new group and I'm going to talk about my best childhood memories...

Well I have many memories but, now choose only one “My best memory” but I do not remember the details; I remember general things:

There is nothing like staying up with your friends late at night and talking about life! Something about sleepovers bring out the best conversations in people. You know what the best thing to do, is to reconnect with those people! Re-initiating old friendships like that can be really healthy, and really fun, especially if you get lots of chocolate!

My favorite memory as a child was sitting with a lot  friends in the beach, in the "el quisco"  late at night. One especially starry nights, you could stand on the dock and look at all the stars reflecting off the water. It looked as if you were staring right down into space. It was beautiful, I love the stars at night, the air in my face, the sound of the waves; and in the day I love the sun and look at the ocean.

We were visited a lot of place, my friends and I were so much fun, playing and swimming, We were a big group of friends with girls and boys and there were a lot of games. We were always doing funny things like running,  jumping, skating, riding our bicycles, etc

Well... I awaiting you enjoy my blog! See you

My favorite movie !

Hi everyone! This is first blog with my new group and I'm going to talk about my favorite movie "Hangover"

I saw this movie with my boyfriend,  and this movie was an excellent choice!!

This is the history ... four pals go to Vegas to celebrate the imminent nuptials of one of them, they partake in a rooftop toast to "a night we'll never forget." But they're in for a big surprise: their celebration drinks were laced with date-rape drugs, so when they awake in their hotel room 12 hours later, not only are they hung over, but they can't remember what they did all night long. Oh, and they're missing the groom-to-be.

The film is so cheerfully raunchy, so fiercely crude, that the humor becomes as intoxicating as the mind-altering substances. The standout in the ensemble is Zach Galifianakis, who is alternately creepy and hilarious. The movie is the nonstop volley of jokes--most cheerily politically incorrect.

They planned a Vegas bachelor party that they would never forget. Now they really need to remember what exactly went down! A baby? A tiger? Why is one of them missing a tooth? And most of all, where is the groom?! What the guys did while partying can't compare to what they must do sober in an outrageous caper that has them piecing together all their bad decisions from the night before.

Everyone I talked with after the movie will be seeing it again. This is one movie that is as funny as advertised.

Well... I awaiting you enjoy my blog! See you.
