My experiencie learning english

The English is a very important language in this days, is the international language through which we can communicate anywhere in the world.
If you want travel, or to study in other country, even in our daily lives, in the University often we must search quality information for different subjects, in this situation you must search a paper published in a major scientific journal, but this information is published in English. For these and other reasons is very important understand this language.

I my case, I can understand a text in English, but is difficult to me understand a conversation or talk with fluent this language.
I always have though that the best way to learn anything is "learning by doing", for this I think that the instance in which I have learned more is doing the blogs. I think that it is very good to write occasionally some lines about different topics because it is similar to real situation, it is more real, and it helps us to simplify one idea, learn more vocabulary, and this way we reach a better perform in the English language.

Also, it is very funny write when the topic we like. But, in my personal experience, sometimes I had a hard time deciding what write to each blog, my imagination was sleeping in those moments. It's terrible waste of time thinking about how to start or how continue, those were my critical moment in English, Lack of Imagination... but, in general it is very good in the development of students.

Also I think that is very important the feedback , that the teacher review our text, because is very difficult improve mistake such as grammatical or spelling mistake without this, which is very important to we don't speak like Tarzan and that we can establish a fluid conversation.
The teacher is always willing to answer questions, and this like to me, because is important to feel the supported by another person who can help improve….

Africa, the continent forgotten

In the world there are many realities, as opposed how you can imagine, while you are seeing the computer, in the other side of world there is a continent in that a faucet in home, is still a dream, a pool in the garden, or a late model car was is away the reality....
countries in that all days a children death because don’t have a few of bread, countries in where the malnutrition reach high rates among the population, maybe the highest rate in the world...
Also of It being the world's poorest region, suffers the consequences of having the highest levels of the AIDS epidemic,more than 40 million people living with this disease, and the problem increase because, each time become very difficult controlled the vertical transmission
It seems to be a lie that Africa being such a continent full of natural resources (diamonds, jungle, mines, animals, etc.) is immersed in poverty. What happened?

Departed promises of the twentieth century have left the continent away from the industrialization and modernization. The consequence…. approximately three hundred million people live in poverty
The strategies and projects that have industrialized nations to "save" the region have shown total ineffectiveness. Unproductive activities have been exposed for decades....
usually says that "for that there are rich countries, poor countries must be ..." if this is the way you think "the powerful" It is clear that Africa continues to be excluded....

Sometimes I think that is very few that we can do… and that depress me

The Brain by Dr. Maldonado

The Dr Maldonado's class was very interesting, because he talked about the brain, an important issue for Physical therapists; it is the centerpiece of Neurorehabilitation. For this reason I liked very much this class. I think that this conference was very clear; it was easy to understand what Dr. Maldonado said. I also think that he used very good time, because he spoke about various topics, without devoting much time to one in particular, so I'm not bored.
He talked that the brain is very big and must conform to the space offered by our skull, that of organized multiple curves that allow compact size. More cortex, more curves.
The brain uses the 25% of oxygen of our body, the 25% of the Energy of our body. This is an organ very important for our body, for our life… The nervous system diseases are very expensive, and it uses around the 45% of the health budget in USA.
There are many myths about brain functions, and in this class Dr. Maldonado spoke of what actually happens in the brain:

The most common myth is that we think that our brain can’t be similar to animal brain, because we are more intelligent. But the truth is that the Human brain is very similar to cortex of several animals, it is the same structure. There aren’t big differences.
Other myth is every brain function is localized in a specific place of brain, because there are several functions that are activated in different brain areas simultaneously.
To simplify the functioning of the brain many say it works just like the computer, but it is a myth because, our brain don’t do one function at time, the brain send simultaneous signals all the time, it is doing several functions at the same time.
These are some of the myths that Dr. Maldonado said, He is an important scientific of Neuroscience area of University of Chile. We appreciate your participation in English class.

The abortion

With the tuesday's Class I think that a few times we take a break to think about subjects likes abort.
This is a situation very frequent in the younger population because each day increases the prevalence of teenagers’ pregnancy.
¿what would I do if I were a similar situation?
No doubts is a complicated ask, because the teenager is under pressure everywhere, school, family, boyfriend, life project a lot of this things collapse
Many things must pass the head of that woman, often little girls, a child...
Now she must thing not only herself but in the baby that she is carrying.

But I think that although all things are very bad, and we can't see the exit, never the solution is kill someone for own benefits, that I think that this exceeds the limits, mainly if we told about own son, maybe the person that maybe the person you most love in your life.

I know very people, who doubted at some moment in to have a baby, but finally the link was more, they fought against those who opposed, and today she thinks that this was the better decision that she could take. Today her son was the person more important in her lives.

The Abortion affect does not only the baby who dies, also leaves permanent damage to the mother and the family involved, a experience like this change to people, nobody is the same any more, especially the mothers, whose faced with to this high-pressure situation, she choices the more easy election, but also the most selfish.
¿could I tell that my life is more important than baby's life? why ?

sorry, but I think that this is unthinkable...
which is the baby's fault? ¿why this baby don’t deserves live?
for much as the mother's experience had been traumatic, in this case I believe that the solution is the adoption, if she can...

People stressed?

The stress has become a usual situation in this days.

Today, a large percentage of Santiago's population was stressed,
perphas, the principal causes is the fast life we leve day to day, we live running from here to there, working against the time. For this reason the laboral stress is the most common type of stress.

it is described like phenomenon that occurs when one person perceive the demands of life are like too difficult. And can be caused by any event that generates an emotional response. This event can be positive or negative situation for example: birth of a child, marriage or job loss, death of a relative, etc. Stress also arises from minor irritations, such as waiting too long in a queue or in traffic.

Situations that cause stress in a person can be insignificant to another.

Symptoms of stress include tiredness, loss or increase of appetite, headaches, crying, lack of sleep and stay asleep. They are also indicative abuse of alcohol, drugs and other compulsive behaviors. Feelings of anxiety, frustration or apathy may accompany stress. These symptoms affecting significantly the life of person for this is very important know about How to deal with stress.

if the problem has been faced properly by you, solutions are born of imagination, and it has been drive to achieve new goals . Those who enjoy life and achieve their goals tend to be people who have learned to react to stress in a balanced way
a good way to deal with stress is to do fisical activity, because this acts like a power ansiolitic that neutralize the negative effects of excessive stress. While we do exercise, our body releases endorphins , substances that produce a feeling of comfort, pleasure
To receive this feeling, just do 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise like running, swimming, skiing, rowing, cycling, climbing or jumping rope

emergency contraception

The true is that my view of the emergency contraception was very poor before this activity, because I think that all things happened for some reason, and if a woman becomes pregnant, she must face this situation, because those babies don’t have any fault, and they deserve to live like anybody in this world. Why we think that “our life” was more important that the lives of babies. I think that it is a thought very selfish, for this reason I was not interested in seeking further information. But, now I search more information about this, and I find that the emergency contraception (birth control after sexual intercourse) is the use of a drug or device to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. Emergency contraception can be used when a condom breaks, if a diaphragm or cervical cap slips out of place during intercourse, after a sexual assault, or any time unprotected intercourse occurs. Emergency contraceptive pills are sometimes called the “morning-after pill” but they are usually effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse. However I would not use it.

In relation to the article that we read, I don’t believe that a contraception with levonorgestrel have a maximal effectiveness is 100% of effect when LNG acts exclusively as an anovulatory drug , on pregnancy prevention, considering that the effects of one drugs can change so much from one person to other. I would like to see further studies of this drugs that endorse this information. In relation to the opinion of Dr Croxatto I think that their objections are well founded, it is difficult to notice the little mistakes that some researches show, but that mistake can change the results much

The Powerful people Lie...

I can`t assure you to survive here
If they come and go as if they were their land
Do they not see that it hurts?

it isn't Life, it isn't death, then what is?
It is "intermediate" that they living to daily
And I am sitting here and I can't help them.

The Powerful people lie, do it the thing convenient
They smile and nod to don't scare us with the truth
And to not look bad .

And all wait .. while they count bodies like empty numbers
Trying to make sense
And how none sees what's coming?

it isn't Life, it isn't death, then what is?
It is "intermediate" that they living to daily
And I sit here helplessly...

This is a song that I Translated because I like very much. It was written by Francisca Valenzuela, a Chilean singer that transmit through her songs deep messages related to love, of gender issues,discrimination, of the abuse of power .... and the last one is the topic that I want writte today.

This is the tipical problem of to have power, many times we watch in the TV to the politicians promising change the actual situation, promising a better future for all the people that vote for him. But the really is very diferent, The government is full of corrupt people who take advantage of his high office for make grow their own businesses without think in the comunity neither the higher good.
To listen the people is the most important to work in the public system, because they are only the representative the voice of one country. Not of a factory.

the power transforms, many times it is related to money. we living in a material world in which the life is accelerated in function of money, all is money today

And these corrupt persons is overshadowing the action of those who did really have a vocation of service and want to work for the community. so, the goverment loses credibility,and the population don't believe to another goverment employee.

The only way for to change this situation is denounce this corrupt actions....

Sedentary World

Each day we move less. Generally the people spend the working hours sitting in front of a computer or desk.We, the students too, we stand hours and hours sit listening to the teacher, We are mibilized by car, bus, subway, We won't walk nor do exercice. ¿Which is the result? The inactivity involves a big risk of suffering a heart attack, because it promotes the accumulation of fat and cholesterol, and increased the obesity, a diseasevery commontoday in our society. The lifestyle is very important for health.

But, we can think that sport is bad, exhausting or it is a risk of falls, and we can think that is better don’t do exercise, but If we put in a balance the advantage and disadvantage we can see that the advantage to sports are a lot more that the disadvantage.The exercise burns calories,it helps to control cholesterol levels, diabetes;it decreases the need of oxygen and arterial pressures, it strengthens the cardiac muscle and make more flexible the arteries,also it brings greats benefits in mental health like to improve a memory, speed, mood, body image and sense of well being increasing the stress resistance. To Respiratory level, the exercise improves ventilator function, increasing the ability of our body for withstand heavy load situations, produced by high intensity exercise or stress situation.

And the most important is funny, a good form the exercice is the sport, because when we play, we forget tiredness to our team win. Finallythe people in your team becomes your friends.

GO TO PLAY!

My blogging experience

I always think that the best way to learn everything is "learning by doing", for this I think that it is very good to write all fridays some lines about different topics because it is more real, and it helps us to perform better in the English language.

Also, it is very funny write when the topic we like. But, in my personal experience, sometimes I had a hard time deciding what write to each blog, my imagination was sleeping in those moments. It's terrible waste of time thinking about how to start or how continue, those were my critical moment in English, Lack of Imagination... but, in general it is very good in the development of students.

But, I think that this is not good enough, if there isn't a review, whitout feedback is very dificult improve mistake such as grammatical or spelling mistake, which is very important to we don't speak like Tarzan and we can stablish a fluid conversation.

The teacher is always willing to answer questions, but often we make mistakes without knowing, and without feedback, we never know in that we fail. That's what I fix in the English course.

1 9 9 8 - 2 0 1 0

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!
Two minutes of the second time and Chilean Selection returned us to hope, we all look amazed by the sudden goal of Chile, we don't believe but begin jump of happyness finally ended the tense atmosphere mantained during First time.

Much of the faculty of Medicine Every was in session today at the CES, suffering at every mishap from Chile, in the first part of the game, two goals from Spain, four yellow cards, Medel and Ponce were beyond the next match, , Estrada was expelled... all that discouraged us and we just walked away of dream of classify to eighths of final after 12 years. But this goal changed all... I and my friend jump embraced, all shouted, all laughed, everyone was happy...

No doubt, it was a very intense match... I watched the faces of all, their eyes fixes in that big screen.

The CES was crowded, everybody with the painted faces, all dressed in red, Teachers and students singing together for the Chilean Football.. . To see the match there, It was really a great experience.

One thing that bothered me was the Villa's Attitude, when he scored the first goal, I found so arrogant, I hate him in this moment, I don't know if I felt this because Chile was losing, or because it really was very ugly attitude.

The game ended with the next results: Spain 2 Chile 1
We lost, but we were happy, because at the same time played Honduras versus Suiza, and they tied at 0, and this mean that
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Classify Chile the second round in World Cup! in SouthAfrica 2010 !!!!!!

Health prevention

Our body is very susceptible to suffer some illness, obesity, becouse the word is full of vice which generates imbalance in our system. But, in general the people are very careless or and many of these imbalance are given by dont following certain rules of Hygiene or to keep bad habits such as sedentary, smoke, gluttony, that can genetate obesity, dont wash the hands very good or wash their food can produce digestive diseases, etc.

Actually, the people leading a healthy life is very little.

I think that the principal problem is the sedentary, because causes damages in the body and in the mind, the lethargy is thye principal enemy of a health and active life. In fact, it's to say that the human body was designed to be used.

One good way that fight with this bad habits is to do exercices, because the physical activity

can prevent the principal cronic disease that such as Heart disease, Obesity, respiratory diseases that affecting with most frequency to population.

The physical exercise makes individuals so much healthier because the human body work so. The human body is designed to move around.

For this, the role of Physical Therapist is work for a population more healthy in a approach of public health promoting a often Physical activity , that changes the sedentary life style.

To throughout history, many men and women had fought to broken with gender discrimination, searching the equity, because even though physiologically and anatomically we are very different, this difference don’t mean that one is better or worse that the other.

Therefore during the development of the society, female emancipation has been left behind male dominance in fields of work, intellectual, politic, education etc.

But, I like woman, think that many times, this emancipation is out of our hands, many times we fall in the feminism, unbalancing the balance again, but this time for us.

I think that the role of both genders in the society is to search and fight for equity
Although we can’t ignore the naturals different, I think that there is the funny, interesting thing, the difference enriches us. For this I think that our principal role, such men as women is strengthen in our family and our society values such as tolerance and respect.
So, we don’t go back what has been achieved in the way of equity.

Today, we watch in the TV several crimes, people that lost control, that kill his spouse and children, rape etc, which make us think about how are rooted these values in our society.
For this we must promote “the good treat culture” putting into practice those values contribute to the development of our country.

The gluttony exist because to eat delicious foos lead a pleasant sensation. I love food, I eat all the day, and it's strange, because I am like broomstick, very thin, maybe it's because I don't like the food with a lot oil or a meat with a lot fat, and a few time I use mayo or I drink fizzy drink, generally I drink juice, maybe that makes up my big appetite.

Always is good, watch what we eat.

But, these days had a been horrible, because I can't eat the food I like, It's forbidden!
because I was operated for appendicitis, and keep a ligth diet for a long time...

I can't eat avocado, egg, lettuce, margarine, chocolate, cereals.... anything!
and when I see my family eat this food, I suffer...

All I want is that my wound has healed early, because I bored of the bread with marmalade, I don't want to eat like desperate, I just want to eat breakfast varied.
What I miss most is eating avocados, but I must keep a balanced diet.

Its very difficult to mantain the strength of will, because there are things more important like health. And sometimes we must do things that we don't like for the greater good.

I and Physical Therapy

I like my career a lot, but what I like most is the Neurorehabilitation area, because life is full of accidents, which may completely change the people's lives, leaving them unable to move. They are called disabled persons. The Physical Therapist can revert the situation helping to restore motor function or improve mobility, through specific exercise, or new techniques of movement.

For this reason, the Physical Therapist is a professional who must manage various disciplines such as Anathomy, physiology,biomechanics, psychology, neurology and others because s/he must use them to create new techniques that enable him/her to stimulate segments and recover movement. Before, the Physical therapist only worked in mitigating the consequences, to relieve pain and search for new ways so that the patient can manage in their daily work, because they believed that the patients can't improve. Today we know that it is not so, and we can stimulate the movement and generate a motor learning that will help our patients to recover health, and regain their autonomy whenever possible.

The beautiful person

The truth is that there isn´t an important Physical Therapist whom I admire. But yes, I have some teachers who are very inteligent, succesfull people, from who I can learn a lot, and I would like take their example. Always is good leveling up. But there is a person, who isn't Phisical Therapist, He is a beautiful person that help me to decide for Phisical Therapy.
He is Mr Jhon a man that work cleaning the city but he have a particular characteristic, dont have hands,instead he have some kind of cuffs... but nevertheless he follow work happy, follow be happy, because he isn't disabled... He is a self-sufficient person, because he decided to fight hard to get on in life...

I would like to be a person or professional that trasmit this message of perseverance and hope to patients, overall in patients who have lost a mobility or a part of their body as mr. Jhon

These is the person that I admire, I thing that his story is a example of life, and he reminds us that we should always fight to be happy...

I hope that mr Jhon is ok in this moments... I never saw him...

hehehehe! free time.

One of the things that I like so much to do in my free time is going to the theater. I think that it is necessary a great skill an talent to tell a story only with your body and a few materials. I really admire these people. I love the dinamics that there is among the actors in the play and with the audience. When somebody go to the theatrer, he must pay attention to very things, because the story is often interrupten by other actors, a new situation,or a change the music, the combinations of all things generate a pleasant atmosphere. I believe them !!

Its very good that in Chile exist The Santiago a Mil festival" They bring importants plays from other place, and it is very cheap.

Other thing that I do always I can (when the money accompany me) is going to the concert of bands that I like. In the concerts I junp to everywhere , I sing until lose voice. Its very funny.

On May 25th an excelent band Aerosmith! will come to Chile , I love them , and I have saved up the necessary money to go. Only wait....

This Febrary 27th...

Just finished the TV transmission of the "Viña Festival", unusually early compared to the other days... Those was my last night in a beautiful house in the beach, I was with five more persons, one of they is my Friend Java, the rest was unknown people. We was in the livingroom talking, other dancing in the kitchen xD when the table began to move, the windows doing very much noise, the light turn off, a glass fall and broken in the floor. I am afraid but I take to my friend and we get out of house, and the first thing we saw was the post of light swinging over us. I only want that finish soon, I hug java and we wait ...but It`s never-ending!!

Latter, we get up to hill because There was tsunami alert, in this moment I remember my family and my boyfriend, I don't know where they are... Nobody can comunicate.

I only comeback to my home, with my people...
