English Language Challenges

Hi bloggers

Today I will speak about my experience with the English course.

I am very glad to learn more English ,  this is my third course of English in the university , and I learn a lot of things, for example: two semester ago , I can read in English, but I was awful to listen in English and worse in pronunciation , and thanks to the English course,  I am better today.

I believe this course is well planned, manage the students loose the fear to talk and write in English. The use of blogs is a very important tool, because  promote the use of on-line dictionaries , increase the vocabulary and the students can correct their mistakes.

In my personal case, learn English help me a lot this year, because I am a football couch in my American football team and all of information, playbooks, strategies and manuals of football are in English.

I realized my English is better when I had a football coaches training camp the last month , I have a North American football coach as a teacher, mister Daryl Hayes and he speak only in English. I was very nervous to talk with a native English speaker, I really did not want to talk with he, but I think “well, in the worst of cases, he don’t understand me “but for my surprise, I can speak with he, and he understand almost all of things I said. Was a very good experience.

This is my experience with this English course, I am very thankful to the teacher Lourdes , is a excellent teacher and always is ready to respond all of English questions .

my career study program.

Hi bloggers! Today I will speak about my career study program.

I think the study program in agronomics engineering needs a lot of changes.  First is very hard finish the career en five years, because if  you fail only one course ,  almost sure you can`t recover  on time because the schedules are very strict, order courses of different years are impossible. Ok, one more year isn’t terrible ,  but if fail two courses? Or more? This is the real problem.

The knowledge in the courses are very good, I think is very complete, we have courses of basic sciences, of soils, fertilization, watering irrigation, plagues , animals, economics sciences, etc..  But the problem is the point of view of the teachers. Some teachers only want memorize terms, and evaluate only memory.  My opinion is the teachers must evaluate real learning, not only memory.  For example,  probably you pass a course if you memorize all of things , but you don’t learn nothing! However if you learn and understand the concepts , you pass the course (most of the time).

Another thing that make me angry about the teachers is the interest of teach. Some teacher only pass a power point, read some things in the power point, and this was the class… is very discourages.

The infrastructure and use of technology are very good, Study in the University of Chile is a very good experience, the problem is:  are a lot of excellent scientist and professionals, but  very few good teachers.

summer holidays!

Hi bloggers! Today I will speak about my summer holidays!

This year will be especial for my family, because we will travel in February to brazil. This travel probably will be the last for us, the next year I finish the career, and my brothers just work today, them, the most certain is that in the next years each of us will stop living in the family home.

I am very exciting for travel to brazil, will be my first travel in airplane, but the most exciting is my mom, because she lived in brazil since she was 2 years old to 15 years old. Today she is 50 year-old, that is 35 years since she arrived to Chile… a lot of time for return.

The travel will be like this: first we will arrive to rio , and we will know the places where my mother grew up (this is the bored of the travel , because is one week travel cities and non-touristic places). Later, we travel from rio to the north, for now the beaches and touristic places.

My summer holidays begin the 15 of January (if  I don’t have exams), I want to rest all January,  I like to stay in my house, play videogames, and stay with my girlfriend. Maybe travel with my girlfriend to viña del mar and stay a few days here, and a don’t have more plans for my vacations jajaja

I hope you enjoyed the lecture!

Medicinal Plants

Hi Bloggers! today a will talk about medicinal plant

i will be very assertive in this subject , because I think the “medicinal plants” doesn’t  be a  real medicine.

I narrate my experience with the “medicinal plants”. My mom is vegetarian, and she only eat organics foods … I don’t have a problem with these,  sincerely,  I liked my mom care herself, because she have problem with the  thyroid gland, and other problems,  but the problem was when she leave the  common medicine, this is the problem (I think, in my opinion). First a “natural doctor” recommended stop to take the common medication for the problem of tyroid gland (eutirox) , becasuse according to him, she can treat her problem with “medicinal plant” and homeopathy. “Ok” mi father, my brother and me  think “ maybe  this work”,  But no.

After a month, my mom had a crisis, she faint a lot of times, and the family  carry it at the REAL DOCTOR .  very bad experience with the homeopaty and medicinal plants.

I said, I don believe  the medicinal plant be a real medicine, but, I think is a good  COMPLEMENT , and maybe can help  few problems, for example for a headache , or stomachache, but the real problems as a hormonal problem, cardiac problem, need a conventional medicine.

 I didn’t want talked about  the “agronomist opinion”  , because I think the experience is more important.

Bye!!

Post 6 : Postgraduate Studies

Hi Bloggers! today a will talk about postgraduate studies

First, i am in the 4th year of the career , and i don't considerate the option of posgraduate studies. why? ufff many reason, i explain little by little.

I ingress at the university for study agricultural engineering after study two years enginering common plan in the University of Chile, so when I ingress at Antumapu i was 20 years old,  therefore i will graduate when i will be 26 years old (because i frozen one year in the career

Ok, 26 years old isn't a lot of years, but if i take a postgraduate program, i will graduate with 28 years if take me two years,  i will graduate with 30 years if the program is 4 years. Is complicated, because I want to work soon, My younger brothers work today, and I don't want to depend of my parents more time.

Also, i want to make my own business, i want to buy a piece of land and work, cultivate fruit tree, or anual crops, depend of the region on the i will work. the postgraduates studies don't be in my life-plan

These are my reason about why a don't take a postgraduate studies, but i think a postgraduates studies is a big tool for find work today, because the work market is very competitive

this is all bloggers! thank for reading, bye!!!

Hi bloggers!  Today I have to talk about a free topic, and i choose Batman

First, i collect comics since i was 15 years old, i have a lot of comics, from various superheros like superman, batman, green lantern, captain america, iron man etc... my favorites comics are batman's comics , i have over 300 comics of batman, the most in Spanish but i have some comics in English, and these are the most valuable in my collection. 

Batman is my favorite hero because a lot of reason: first, he doesn't have superpowers, but he was trained in a lot of disciplines like as martial arts, forensic sciences, detective habilites, computer sciences etc... is a simple human, very smart (with a lot of money )but a simple smart human.

Second: the histories of batman, show the society vicious whit the enemy's, for example, the joker represent the chaos and the crazy on Gotham City (city where live batman), the riddle represent the obsessive on the society, the penguin represent the mafia and drugs in the society. is a very complex analysis of the current society

Thirst: He doesn't work alone, he have a bat family. the people only knows batman and robin and maybe batgirl, but batman has been a lot of sidekicks: 4 robin, 3 bat-girl , 1 bat woman etc... and this is my favorite theme about batman, he history of different robins, for example, the firs robin, is Dick Grayson,  and he grow for to be "Nightwing", a hero independent of batman, the second robin is Jason Tood, he died in the 80 the a comics "the family dies" but in the 2006 he resurrect and find revenge from the joker, (because the joker kill him) and take the name of "RedHood", a antihero, like a batman, but he kill the enemies , whit two big guns.

 i can talk hours about batman, but in this post i must use 200 words 

maybe in other post can tell us what happens with the other robins ( one o these is son of batman)

bye!!

The best concert I have attended was the Caviahue folk metal fest in 2011. Why? My band “Barbarian” played in that fest whit other Chilean metal bands as a Runepath, Folkheim, Paghania, Tersivel etc.

That concert was a greatest event on my life, I could share stage whit my favorite Chilean bands! Think this, I could meet personally my favorite’s bands, talk whit they, share some drinks. was awesome!

The best moment in this fest was when I met Tersivel behind the stage; Tersivel is one of my favorite’s bands. I was very nervous but I could talk whit they and take it various pictures.

The fest started at the 6 pm and finish at the 3 am, I was exhausted but happy for meet a lot of people, fans, people the other bands etc.

My band played only 30 minutes, and we played 6 songs, but the people knew the lirics of ours songs  and this was very emotional .
