English Language Challenges

Today is very important know different languages . In the workplace it is very positive to know how to speak English, because of it is one of the universal languages. If you to know a little of this language, you can speak with very people of different countries.   My experience learning English in the university has been good, the classes are very interactive!, although I would like to have a little as a means to learn is a very good idea, as it allows you to know new words and idioms, you can improve your writing and use a different language!. more time, to study the language and get better results. I consider that the use of the blogs I think there are many aspects that I need to improve about my English and I think the best way to do it is creating conversations with my friends who know how to speak the language well, so that they can correct mistakes or teach new idioms. Listening to and singing songs in English it's a very good idea, then you can look up...

Changes to my study programme

I have been studying food engineering at the University of Chile for two years. The carrer lasts for 11 semesters and each semester has 7 subjects, therefore, the academic load is quite. The subjects are related to each other, but even so they are different and you have to study and work extra.  The subjects are very varied, I have subjects of physics, biology and oral and written communication, but in my career the most important subjects are those related to chemistry and mathematics. Unfortunately I haven't seen many subjects that relate to my career yet. The first year I had a subject called Introduction to Food Engineering, but I feel that it was not enough. I would like that it's to be more motivational and practical. My faculty has different buildings, but these buildings aren’t very functional. There are places to eat, but unfortunately not enough for everyone, I think it would be a good idea to have a casino and more microwave. The places to study are small, th...

My opinion

What is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets? In the world, especially in Chile, there are many abandoned animals in the streets. Everyday I see stray dogs and I feel very sad when I can not help them. I would love to have a very big house to adopt them all. Charlie is my dog ​​and he adopts it when you are only one month old, I think we propose a way of the ways we have to help these animals, especially cats and dogs. Pets that you can buy the plane parts wait before you own an owner. There are breeding places where the animals of race, is very sad. Adopting we help these things don't happen! What is your opinion about Immigration? Immigration, like many things in life, has its advantages and disadvantages. Having foreigners living in our country is very enriching, because they teach us a new culture and economically it is favorable, since they pay their taxes and consume goods and services . On the other hand it is unfavorable for some foreigners who are ...

From cartoons, animes to TV series

Since I was little I love cartoons, I remember the first cartoons I saw: the teletubbies and Barney the dinosaur. As I got older I got to know classical anime like Marco and Heidi. Today I don't have much free time and I don't watch much tv like before, but when I can I see the cartoons that I like the most, one of those is Futurama. This is an animated American comedy that tells the adventures of Philip J. Fry, who was accidentally transported to the 31st century and who works in an interplanetary distribution company along with his friends Lila, Bender, Dr. Zoidberg, among others.                                                Although I like to watch animated series, I don't consider myself a fan, I am only an occasional observer of these funny stories, because I don't free time for watch it everyday.               ...

Post graduate studies

Last week, an ex-alumnus of the Food Engineering career made motivational talk to my classmates and to me, he gave us different advice and one of them was that it would a good idea that when we finish our degree we specialize in something that we like.  Since that day I think that I would like to continue studying, because of there are different types of post title, masters or doctorates related to the career or related fields related to the area of food engineering. In the future I would like to take the PhD program in nutrition and food, as I find it very interesting to know more about human and animal nutrition in agricultural processes and in the food industry. The only bad thing about this doctorate is that its duration is eight semesters, it is very long. On the other hand I am also very interested in the area of ​​management, so I have researched a degree in marketing management for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and chemical science related industries....

My future job

When I think about what I would like to do in the future, many ideas come to my mind, although some ideas are a little crazy ones. I think the work I would like to have, for example, would be to become a manager of a business, of a supermarket or a bar & restaurant. I feel that owning something of your own is full of challenges and happiness due to the achievements, maybe is something difficult, but not impossible. I imagine that you must be great have your own business and offer people rich, healthy, natural and quality products. I would like to have very time to travel a lot, to learn and get ideas that will help in my business. Regarding salary, I only hope it is enough to do all the things I hope for, such as traveling, growing professionally, having a family, among others. Sometimes I think it would be a good idea to continue studying after finishing my career, I would like specialize in something  related to economics, as a master in finances or I would also lik...

Nanotechnology in the food industry

The topic that I choose today to write in my blog is because is very practical and important inform us about the packaging and the technology that composes them. In the world tons of food end up in the trash, because maintaining the optimal properties of food is sometimes more complicated than we think. Therefore, the nanotechnology is called to reign in the packaging industry. This is very important because this technology provides active and intelligent packaging that helps us to conserve food for a longer time, it makes them safer and helps them to preserve their qualities. The Nanotechnology is one of the most promising and fastest growing technologies in our society and therefore in the food industry, since it allows the development of a new generation of intelligent and innovative products and processes. I didn't know before that it was an active packing or an intelligent label. This year I did a job on these packing for a subject of the University, there...

About pets, love and friendship

I love animals!, I have always liked to observe them when they are sunbathing relaxed or when they run free and happy. One of my dreams is have a house with a big garden to have many dogs, of all sizes and types. Although I prefer big dogs, I would also like to have small pets such as ferrets and hedgehogs. I've only had one pet, it is a dog, that I adopted when it was only one month old of life. His name is Charlie, because he is just as crazy as Charlie Garcia or Charly Sheen ... Charlie is “kilterrier”, but he has the colors of a rottweiler. When i don’t call him by his name, I call him demon , because he sometimes looks like a very territorial dog and when a unknown person go to my house, Charlie growls very loud , but when he feels relax, he looks like an angel. Although sometimes charlie is very wild, I consider him as my brother. I never believed that have a pet would make me so happy, I love Charlie very much and I hope him will stay with me for many more years.

My best holidays

The summer holidays of this year I made my first travel without my parents.   I went with my boyfriend to the south of Chile and we traveled different and beautiful cities during two weeks. I was happy, so I had never gone south of Chile, because I and my parents always went to the beach “La Boca de Rapel”. Our first destination was Valdivia, I met the famous bridge, sea lions and a nearby beach called “Niebla”. One of the things that I liked the most was that I was able to go to the Kunstmann brewery, when I probed many varieties of beer. After I met the Osorno volcano and its crystal clear lake. In the buses we translated many small towns and during two days we camped in Petrohue, this is a place with magical landscapes. I met there Petrohue waterfall’s , I take many Photographs! The second week of travel we were in “Panguipulli” with my boyfriend, we traveled beaches and nearby towns. My favourite day was when we went to the hot springs, one ...

A Country I Would Love To Visit

Knowing different places is one of my favorite hobbies, meeting different cities of my country is a beautiful experience, you can meet diverse people and wonderful landscapes. Travel to another country should be even more captivating, because you know different and striking cultures completely, many times I fantasize about what I would do if I would travel to another country.       If I had the opportunity of travel, I would go to Greece, because it is a place with dreamed landscapes. The white of its constructions together with the sea form beautiful postcards. I don’t know much about Greece, but I know that it is the place where born the western philosophy and the Olympic Games. I would like to travel to Greece in approximately 10 more years, to know its culture and enjoy of those landscapes and to know the history of Athens.  I would love to go to the villa santorini, tour the islands by boat, go to the hidden beaches, for example: Gerak...

My experience...

Sometimes in my social networks I express my ideas and opinions on some topic or I speak about my feelings in a subtle way. When I talk to my friends and companions of the university i like to discuss different topics, talk about what we like, so that my mind doesn’t just think about things of the university. This was my first blog and I feel it was a very didactic tool, where I managed mix the university with my personal interests, since I wrote about different topics that I liked and also about others that I didn’t know very well, so thanks to blogs I could learn beyond the language. I had never written so much in English, sometimes I had to look up the meaning of some words in order to unite my ideas, thanks to this i knew many new words and expressions. Now I can read texts in English more easily and if I don’t understand a word I can deduce it according to the context. There are many interesting topics that can be used to write a blog, for example: television series...

OCD...

The obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a kind of anxiety disorder. The people that have this disorder, have obsessions; this is a set of thoughts and irrational fears that provoke repetitive behaviors (compulsions). This obsessions and compulsions interfere in the daily activities and cause a lot of anguish. A few, the obsessions deal with different topics, for example: Fear of contamination or dirt Need of that things to be arranged symmetrically Aggressive or horrendous thoughts about hurting or hurting others unwanted Aggressive thoughts, or religious or sexual subjects The researchers think that maybe the brain circuits doesn’t work properly in people with  OCD. This condition have a family trend. Frequently, symptoms begin in childhood or adolescence, this Symptoms usually manifest gradually and vary in severity throughout life, but They usually get worse when you feel more stress.  When a child has OCD, his or her disruption can interfere with the scho...

The most enjoyable subject...

 During these 3 semesters that I have been in the university I have seen many subjects; theoretical,practical in the laboratory, there are subjects that have both options, for example Biology. I  have also had sports subjects, called "CFG". I don't have a favorite subject, but there are some that I like more than others.  Analytical chemistry is a theoretical subject of the third semester that I like. In this subject we see different topics, for example, chemical equilibrium, analysis of anions and cations, redox volumetry, among others. I like this sybjetc, for different factors, one of them is because I have good marks,  another factor is that it is a theoretical subject, therefore I shouldn't go to the laboratory.  The mathematical calculations and the way of performing the exercises is very mechanical, you have to be ordered to arrive at the correct answer and that is very good for me. I don't  have a good memory, but now I am surprised, since...

Beautiful minds ...

Curious minds that go against the thinking of ordinary people, wanting to find answers to multiple questions throughout their lives... Sthephen William Hawking Born January 8, 1942 in the city of Oxford in the United Kingdom. he studied throughout his life to become a theoretical physicist, astrophysicist, cosmologist and British scientific popularizer, who was director of research at the Center for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. Sthephen died on March 14 this year. My admiration for this scientist goes beyond his achievements in science, because his youth was marked by a degenerative disease, which took away the voice and mobility of his muscles. Sthephen had the ability and strength to cope, he didn't abandon his passion for science, published important works on spacetime or general relativity, he knew love twice and his characteristic sense of humor, left funny and admirable phrases like: "We are just an advanced race of monkeys on a ...

Music in my live...!

The music is very important to me, since I am very young I like to sing and dance, thanks to my parents, who have instilled in me their good musical taste. Unfortunately I have sometimes forgotten the peace or happiness that makes me feel the music, due to my studies, that dont give me much free time to do activities related to music.  When I can I go to the movies and pay a lot of attention to the songs of the movies. I also watch classic movies in my house, for example: Dirty dancing havana nights, The miserables and Pride and prejudice, these movies have very good songs. I like all the music, therefore I listen to all kinds of music, for example: the music that I listened to in my childhood, I listen to today yet. I love instrumental music with accordions, the accordion is my favorite instrument, so I hope to learn to play in the future. I like a lot dance Salsa music and the Dance Hall, but my favorite is the Rock music, I think that there are magic song...
