English Language Challenges

Hello everyone, today I will talk about my experience learning English, using English in my real life, among others things.
At present, my relation with English is very incompatible, because I just learn the language in the University because is a requirement in my career. When I was younger, in high school, I always think in take a special course for learning English, but now, at present I don't like to much the idea of learning English, in the University I feel like is an extra responsibility and as it's an obligation I just learn the necessary for pass the course. I think that if I did not have so many subjects in the semester I would feel more interested for the course. 
About the use of the blogs I can say that I like to write about different topics, but sometimes, with some topics that I don' like, I don't know what can I say, so it becomes a challenge for me. But in general, the experience of the blogs I like it, because I can develop my writing skills in English.
I think that in general there are two aspects that I have to improve, first of all, my pronunciation, because the words basic is easy for me pronounce, but with words used with infrequently my pronunciation sucks. And the other thing that I have to improve is my grammar, because I forget things that it should be easy to remember, like the past tense, preterite perfect and others. I think that watch series in English and without subtitles it can be a good idea for improve my English.
In my normal life, and a few opportunities use the English, for example when I learn news about singers or band musical that I like, or when I read tweets, also when I watch series and when I listen music in English.

Changes In My Study Programme

Hello everyone, today I will talk about what changes I will do in my study programme if I had the opportunity to do it.
First of all, I must say that I think that studying chemistry and pharmacy is a great challenge due to the academic training that is received.
All semesters we have at least six subjects to pass, if we want to go up to date and not fall behind. Many of the students finance the race through credits or scholarships assigned by the state, which sometimes only serve for the theoretical duration of the degree, that is, without failing any subject, which is very difficult to happen due to the academic overload mentioned above in each semester that we must take.
Therefore, I think the semesters should have less academic overload, perhaps eliminating some subjects that are considered "filling" and are not necessary for training as professionals we need.
In relation to the use of technology, I think it is something indispensable in today's society, before the study was based almost entirely on books because the internet was something unknown, but now the internet makes the student's life much easier, if before It took thirty minutes to find the right book to study something specific, now that time was reduced to a one click.
And finally, if we talk about the methodology used by teachers, I think there is always the possibility of improving it, because for example some teachers come to the classroom and only read what is written on a slide and forget about express and explain what they want to say. Of course, this happens only with some teachers, because we must also highlight those teachers who teach very well and it is nice to go to their classes.

Summer Holidays

Well, I think all people enjoy summer holidays doing different activities. All years in my summer holidays I travel with my family to different places, like Lago Rapel, Valdivia, Frutillar, among others. But, this summer holidays I plane do it something different.
Fernanda, Pia and Camila are my friends since high school and this year we want to travel some place together in our summer vacations. In the beginning we planned travel to Peru, specifically Machu Picchu, but after thinking better we decided travel to some place in Chile, still we don't decided a specifically place because we have different preferences for visit, for example Fernanda and I want to visit the South of Chile and Pia and Camila want to visit the North.
If we decided travel to the south probably we visit Chiloe or Pucon and we will rent a hut for stay one week. And if we decided travel to the north we will visit "San Pedro de Atacama" and surrounding places and we will rent a guesthouse or we can stay in a Hotel, it all depends how much money we have.
The money is a thing really important for summer holidays because if we don't have money we can't travel, in my case I plan have a job in January and with these money pay my summer holidays and if the money isn't enough I can ask to my mom for some extra money, but only if is really necessary. My friends plan do it the same, work for a month for pay the vacations.
This will be my first time travel with my friends to somewhere (without counting the school travel), so I hope that it works.

Drug of abuse

The alcohol is a drug of abuse that is very common in any country, the most people star to drink alcohol when is teenager, even when is prohibited for people under the age of 18 or 21. In Chile, for example the alcohol is prohibited for people under the age of 18.
In majority, people drink alcohol for have some fun and forget the problems of the real life, but is complicated when people star to depend of the drug and drink alcohol is become in a habit, these people are called alcoholic, because they development a dependency, anxiety for alcohol. 
In my experience, sometimes I drink alcohol with my family in reunions or with my friends in our free time or in parties.
The alcohol have many observable effects in people, for example, slurred speech, blurred vision, lose self-control, development violence against other people, lose conscience, etc. Is for that reasons that alcoholism is very dangerous for people, and also for health of people. For example, in women that are pregnant the alcohol is prohibited, because affect the baby and it can produced genetic malformation, trouble with fine motor skill, learning difficulties, etc.
But, we have to know that the alcohol also have benefits for our health. A cup of wine in lunch  always is recommended by Doctors, because help to prevent cardiovascular diseases, improvement physical performance and others things.     
In my life a knew a people that suffer alcoholism, it was the uncle of one of my classmate in high school, and is very complicated for the family in general, because they try to help their uncle, but he don't wanna be helped. In these case, you can't do much.

Post Graduate Studies

At present, sometimes study one career is not enough, because in work field, the people who study Master, Diplomas or PhD are people that have the best opportunities in work.
I think that Diplomas, Master and PhD are a really good way to specialize in one topic of the career.
In a future, when I finished my career I like to study a Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences, because I feel really interesting in learn all about Pharmaceutical Sciences, this field is very attractive for me.
The Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences have like purpose the development of pharmaceutical sciences in a excellence level. The requirements for do the Master are have the Bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and take an admission test and a interview.
The study plan of the Master consist in take different courses, some are obligatory and others are elective, and also do it a individual thesis and take a grade test. The Master are two years of study.
I like to study this Master here in Chile, because the programme of study that University of Chile offer is really complete and challenging, and after that, maybe go to other country outside of Chile for live new experiences in the field work. Specially I would like to go a country the language English, because I like to learn this language.

My hobbies

Well, one of my hobbies since I was a child is read, no matter who is the author or topic of the book, I always give a chance to any new books that I bought, or someone give me or just because I want to know a new world. I can say that I practice the phrase "never judge a book by the cover". But obviously there are topics in the literature that I enjoy more than others, like novels of romance, mystery, science fiction and adventures. 
I started to read when I was a child and I ask for books in the public library of my city, the first books that I ask for It was "Papelucho", I love all the books of Papelucho.
These days, with the university and all the tests that we have, I don't have so much time for read and I miss the vacations days when I could read and enjoy a book all the time I wanted.

Besides, other thing that I love to do is watch series, Game of Thrones is one of my favourites series and one day I hope can read the books too, but also I enjoy the superheros series, now I  watch two series "The Flash" and "Arrow" and if anyone likes superheros, I recommend these series. I enjoy watch series because is relaxing and it help me to forget all my obligations in the university and in the life in general.
One hobby that I had when I was a child it was collected magazines of my favourite artist, like Demi Lovato or Jonas Brothers. Every months I ask for money to my mom for buy one magazine and sometimes I bought two magazines, with the time I collected about one hundred magazines that today I keep in the garage of my home.
A hobby that I would never have is practice swimming, because I scare the ocean.

Organ of our body

I think that heart is one of the most important organs in our body, simply because without him, nobody can live, besides heart is a organ connected with emotions and I am a person very emotional.
Heart is a muscular organ of our body, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory sistem. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients.
The location of heart is between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest, exactly is situated in the middle mediastinum, at the level of thoracic vertebrae T5-T8. A double membraned sac called the pericardium sorrounds the heart  and attaches to the mediastinum.
Is form for four chambers, two upper atria, the receiving chambers, and two lower ventricles, the discharging chambers. The atria open into the ventricles via the atrioventricular septum. Also has four valves, wich separate its chambers, one valve lies between each atrium and ventricle and one valve rests at the exit of each ventricle.
In average the heart in a adult size twelve centimeters of long, nine centimeters of width and six centemeters of thickness and it is true that our heart is the size of our hand in fist.
I see our heart that I wonderful organ that allows us to stay alive every day.
