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....
