My Blogging Experience

Imagen
Hello everyone! It's time to say goodbye, this is my last post, today my vacation starts. At first, I thought writing a blog would be boring, but it was more entertaining than I expected. I think that writing in English every week was very useful, now I can remember a lot of new words that I learned this semester. Also, it helped me to remember tenses and to order sentences. In addition, it helped me to begin to think the sentences in english and not to think them in Spanish first and then, translate it.  I would like to include more subjects to be chosen for us and less obligatory topics. If we can choose entertaining themes for us, we are more motivated to write about them. I would have liked to write, for example, on topical issues in Chile and in the world, so in addition to learning English, we can know what is happening now. Many times, excessive study doesn't allow us to spend time to know what happens in our country or in the world. Also, talking a...

My favorite subject

Choosing a favorite subject of this semester was very difficult, because all the subjects had things that I liked and things that I didn't like.  I decided that my favorite subject was Simulation. This subject consists in theory class and practical sessions in which we had to do activities in false teeth as if it were in a real patient. I liked this subject because is like the real work we will do when we finish the career. I liked too much learn to work with turbine. The main contents of the subject are about what you should do in different situations and clinical cases and the best way to do the procedures and do a good work. Although I liked it very much, the organization of the subject was very bad and the evaluation was very subjective sometimes, it depends on the teacher who evaluates you, so it turned in a very stressful subject. I think this semester I learned many new things, practical and theoretical, that will be useful when I work in the clinic. Nevertheless, ...

German Valenzuela Basterrica

Hi! Today I will write about an important person in odontology. German Valenzuela Basterrica was born in 1859, he was a doctor and a dentist. In 1889 he was the director and teacher of the Escuela de Dentística of Chile. In 1909 he solved an important case, where a person died in a fire of the German Legation in Chile. People thought the dead was the chancellor Guillermo Beckert Trambauer and Legal medical service confirmed it. The janitor, called Exequiel Tapia had disappeared, so the police think he was the guilty of the murder. But German Valenzuela Basterrica analyzed the dental rests of the body and discovered that the body was of the janitor Tapia. After months, the police found Beckert trying scape of Chile and was pleaded guilty of the murder of Tapia. The president of Chile in that moment, Pedro Montt, offered to him a reward for his work and he asked for the built of modern dental school. I admire him for his work and because he could asked for anyth...

Tv shows and series

Hi! Today I will talk about series! Usually, I don’t watch TV or series, because when I start a series, I don’t stop until I finish it and I don’t sleep at night.  Sometimes, when I have free time, I watch The Simpsons on TV. It is my favorite series, because is fun and I seeing almost all the chapters and I prefer the older chapters, so I don’t need to wait for the new ones or obsess with the series and I can sleep. I like different kinds of series, I prefer comedy series like “How I met your mother”, but I enjoy mystery or drama series, too. There is a lot of series that I haven’t seen but I would like watch it when I have more free time. In this moment, I prefer don’t see any series, but maybe, in holidays I will see a lot of series in Netflix. A lot of my friends told me the series “The OA” is really good, maybe I see it when I can.

My favourite photograph!

Hi everyone! In this post I will write about a picture I like. I took this photograph in January of this year with my cellphone, it was in vacation with my family in Pucón, in the south of Chile. We were in a big cabin, it had a beautiful garden with a lot of trees that looked like a small forest. This photograph shows my sister and I in that place. It was a beautiful and sunny day of summer; I think that the colors are beautiful and it looks cheerful. Maybe is not the best photograph of my sister and I, but I like it because this picture makes me remember the times when I was relaxed and happy with my family in the beach, without concerns. When I remember the last vacation, I also think in all the cakes, pies and a lot of tasty meal I ate in Pucón and all of this makes me miss the vacation.

Pets

Hi everyone, today I'm going to write about my pet! I have a dog, he is the first pet I've ever had. He has 9 years old and he joined our family when I was ten and my sister was eight. She wanted that we called the dog just like she. Her name is Martina, so the name of my dog is Martín. He is the most loving dog, but is the scariest dog too. He is afraid of the dark and he running to hide when he hears a strange sound. I like pets, but I don’t have time to take care for another one. I like all pets, but I wouldn’t like to have another kind of pets. The pets that I like the most are dogs, because I think that dogs are the most loyal and fun pets. I wouldn’t have exotics pets, a house is very different to their natural habitats and it could cause stress in animals. They need a lot of specials cares and not all the veterinaries are trained to assist them

My favourite piece of technology

Hi, everyone! Today I am going to write about my favorite piece of technology. My favorite piece of technology is my cell phone. I have a cell since I was about ten. I used to forget it at home or discharged it playing snake or something like that. Now, I don't download plays on my cell phone. I use it for a lot of things, like chat on WhatsApp with my family and friends. I also use a lot Instagram, Spotify and Maps when I get lost (very often). Sometimes, I send e-mails or I download archives to study when I’m not at home. I use my cell phone every day, I'm sure that I have a kind of addiction to it. I like it because I can do a lot of things with that small object. I'm connected to my family that lives away and my friends that I haven't seen for a long time. I can take photos whenever I want and I can organize my week with the same thing wherever I be. Without my cell phone, maybe the things wouldn't be as immediate as now. I think that it could be go...
