My experience learning English.

In the actuality is very important learning English because is considered a universal language, in all countries of the world there is someone who speaks this language.
Is for this reason that we must learn to speak in English, especially if you’re someone who wants to study abroad or you like to travel.
Actuality in the world with the use of the technology is very easy that you can communication with persons of the diversity places or countries, and sometimes is very necessary know this idiom because in the university, in the work or in the life to you might use.

For all this reasons that in de University of Chile is very important that you students can learn this idiom. In the year 2009 stared the program of English to apply for all the student with subjects innovation. This process has been difficult for me but I have that but I have to admit that I’ve a lot and have developed new skills in this language.
I can now understand the meaning of some songs in English, and recognize some words when I see movies in this language. I can identify the context when I talk with someone who speaks English. All these things were impossible to achieve for me. These two years these two years the level of English has been gradually increasing their difficulty, early in the course learned basic words and now after the course I noticed my evolution and I am very satisfied with what I've learned.
With the help of my classmates and teachers could pass each stage of the English program.
I hope to finish this last stage and happily continue to learn more about this language and so one day fully manage the language.
The teacher have changed during the course did not bring any problem to continue learning.

In conclusion, the University of Chile has successfully implemented an integrated education to students, achieving these new generations to prepare for front of a globalized world, with the ability to speak with professionals other countries and opening the doors for further courses and realize investigation in the abroad.
I am very grateful to the university and the teachers for giving me this opportunity that allows me to be a better professional.

Blog 7: I love traveling!




One of the things that I enjoy in life is to travel .... I love meeting new places, and share different cultures. I usually travel with my family or friends and experience has always been unforgettable. I believe that when you travel you always learn new things and enjoy good times, adventure always brings to life unforgettable emotions.
when I prepare to travel I always feel anxious, and worry about taking things imprecndibles as photographic camera and camcorder, to save the memories of that trip.

I like to visit those places with beautiful scenery, where you can appreciate the wonders of nature, it is important to note that in our country we have a huge diversity of landscapes in the north and south. In northern San Pedro de Atacama is an unforgettable place and being in the desert is wonderful. In the south of the country's vegetation and lakes in contrast to the north, but their views are equally extraordinary.
In the trips I made I learned to know my country and I can say that Chile is a beautiful country !!!...
I also had the opportunity to know Brazil, Iguazu Falls specifically. That was a nice experience as it was my first trip abroad with my friends at school, at that time I have very fond memories and I would go back to that country and enjoy the happiness of its people and its tropical climate.

Blog 6: Favorite movies


In general I like many types of movies, especially romantic comedies and horror.
Horror movies I like because I like the suspense and fear, but only when I'm with my friends, because I dare not see them alone.
Romantic and comedy films relax me and make me feel good and always teach me things, though sometimes some romantic movies make me mourn.
I prefer to see these films in the cinema because it is more exciting, the sound is stronger and easier to feel the emotions that the film conveys. But I also love movie night with my friends, I like going out with them, buy things to eat and sit and watch many movies.
Chilean films I dislike, in Chile there has been good horror movies, the latest was made vampire, but vampires do not scare me.
Chile's only movie I like is "Machuca", this is a very entertaining movie, and shows an interesting way the reality of our country some years ago, through the lives of three children.
I think at the Chilean film still has a better develop the plot of the movie, for now I prefer Chilean theater.
There are many films I like, some are: "The Pianist" because it is very deep and exciting, "Titanic" is the classic romantic, "Abatar" is my favorite because it teaches us to share with nature and appreciate our planet.

Blog 5: The brain and learning


Dr. Maldonado is a professional who has conducted a comprehensive study of how the human brain works. Their studies help to understand how they develop different skills, and how the brain reacts to external stimuli. Dr. Maldonado has done many studies and traveled to other countries to discuss this. In considering this I think it is an excellent professional.
In particular I am interested in this topic because I think the human mind has many secrets. Understanding their operation is very complicated, but with the exposure of Dr. Maldonado achieve clarify many questions.
I could understand very complex things that I think are very important and interesting and would like to continue reading about the brain.
The myth that most caught my attention was the one that says, "the human brain takes 10% of its capacity." I had heard many times this statement and thought it was correct, for that reason caught my attention when Dr. Maldonado said that this was not true, because in reality we occupy all our mental capacity, as our brain develops according to environmental stimuli occupying all the areas that form.
About this I think is right, because as we develop the brain attempts to occupy their resources optimally. While I believe that if a person is able to stimulate certain areas of the brain these could be developed further.

Some symptoms are irritability, low mood, fatigue, moodiness, muscle pain, headaches, anxiety, but this depend of the person . According to statistics stress affects women more because of hormonal changes lead to increased sensitivity.

Healthy Living


I will write on this topic today because it has great significance because health is essential to have a good quality of life.
For good health it is important to include in our daily routine healthy lifestyles, as do sports, have a good diet based on a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables and meats.
Currently it may be difficult to follow these lifestyles, and if we walk around town we encounter many junk food outlets, then it is clear that in our culture healthy lifestyles are not included.But we can acquire good habits in our life searching information about what is an aproppiate diet for you, that includes all the elements of the food pyramid and eat the calories you need, also you should practice sport or go for a walk 30 minutes in the day.
Infomart is important about healthy lifestyles and adapt to your routine, in addition to remove those actions that endanger your health.
Healthy people can not stop playing sports and eating healthy is not a problem for them. People with good habits are informed about foods that contribute positively to your body, and medical check-ups if necessary.
These people know how important it is to look after their health, as it not only benefits them but also their relatives, as an example for your family and friends. They are much happier with a better mood. This is because the sport make the endorphins that improve mood, in addition to good nutrition improves the physical condition of the people, thereby increasing self-esteem.
People with good habits, you can visit the same places as everyone else, but their actions are different, they always opt for something healthier. Perhaps they prefer to go on vacation to places where there is less pollution, which enhances the contact with nature, and where they can play sports.
They can carry any type of clothing, but they always have in your closet a diver for sports, yoga and pilates.

My favorite place to leave the city stress and relax is the Elqui Valley in the fourth region of Chile. This is where all my family to go to comprate wonderful time on vacation, we all came to the camp of my uncle, where we can enjoy nature and the charm of being in the mountains, lots of vegetation, rivers and skies free of contamination. We always go when we celebrate the birthday of my grandmother or a family member, we laugh a lot, and discuss the events or anecdotes that have happened in our lives, strengthen our family ties. We arrived at that place some by bus or car, some go first and others later. Usually rich roasts cooked together, then stroll through the surrounding visiting places like Pisco Elqui, Monte Grande, etc.
These places have a lot of history, for example Montegrande is the birthplace of Gabriela Mistral, in that people can go to a museum where there are many things pertaining to our poet, Nobel Prize winner for literature. In Pisco Elqui can find craft fairs and many tourists during the holiday season.
Also in the evenings you can enjoy a beautiful starlit sky, which impresses all who come from big cities to enjoy this mystical place.
I love going to this place because I enjoy it a lot, and I forget all my worries, feel the energy that surrounds you in a different atmosphere.
Unfortunately now that I live in Santiago I can not go very often to this beautiful place.

Hello everyone!
Today I will tell you about my favorite book .... the book is called Brida and its author is Paulo Coelho.
The book is a novel based on a true story, according to the author.
Brida is a young woman who is 21 years old, seeking his inner self. She meets a wizard, which prompts you for becoming a witch.
For this, the youth must overcome a series of obstacles that will make you change your perception of life and discover that love is the only way to meet the spiritual world, because when we love we want to be better than we are.
I like this book because the essence of self is reflected through this novel indescribable sensations that make you think about the attachment that people have for the material, simple objects relative importance, the book leads us to ask for facts as because certain things happen sometimes, and also about its meaning of life.
In moments of reflection I like to read a passage from this book that I remember the sense of things that happen in life. Phrases like, "Nothing is completely wrong in the world, even a stopped clock gets to be right twice a day."
This book was recommended by a friend, she had read some time ago and liked it, then lend it to me.
This novel deals with many interesting features, some of them are, love and the pursuit of our other half, self-knowledge, how to achieve our dreams, magic, and his way of life, how to face the problems of everyday life and contact with nature and the universe.
Well, overall I really like books by this author but Brida is my favorite, however I highly recommend this book very entertaining and interesting.

When reviewing my previous publications I realized that my mistakes are the most typical word order, and translate Spanish sentences in common use in English, is very complicated because the order changes so much the meaning of prayer, and often attempt to modify the spelling of my ideas.
In spite of my mistakes I've managed to expand my vocabulary and get used to using new words, most related to race and concepts discussed in my college classes for example, patients, health programs, women's development, health, etc
I think the issues have been well chosen, and addresses important issues to develop us in our career. They have been subjects of interest to make friends and communicate with foreign people tell about our concerns and opinions on various topics.
Make a blog is not an easy task, but we can ask for help from our teacher. The hardest thing is to make a coherent text in English.
I find it very interesting to review what my peers think of different topics and meet its projections, all in English. Trying to read his publications, was forced to learn at least have an overview of the topic and learn new words.

MY IDEAL JOB!!

Today I will comment about my ideal job.
At the end of my career I would like to work in a hospital in Santiago to gain experience, but after a few years I would like to work in a hospital in a more relaxed, healthy, ideal for family, for this I have thought about working in one region may be in La Serena because it's my hometown, or another option is a southern city. In regions experiencing a much more favorable environment, less stressful, more secure, where you can have more contact with nature and is ideal for relaxing after a hard day's work, which is why I prefer the environment that experiemnta in those cities.
You usually find people more peaceful regions, more emotional and respectful, and that's the kind of people that I like to work. You hope to find qualities such as initiative, collaboration, respect and coordial both staff and with patients. Patients would have to have these virtues also, besides that would be participatory and accountable to the care of his health, following the instructions that I give as a midwife. Also having the force of will to improve their poor health habits and are able to have a good relationship with me. It is true that sometimes people are not all like this, but ideal for a health care professional is so be it.
In my work em would like to be director of a clinic or hospital in a region of the country, to apply my knowledge contributing to the community support, establishing health education programs, promoting good habits in the population.
I would like to specialize in public health or neonatology, that's something I have not decided yet but I hope to clarify with the pasod time.
As mentioned before I wish to speak at community level in a city by initiating reforms and education in the population, this commitment requires a lot of responsibility on my part so I'll have to put a lot of my efforts and learn to work as a team, also hope to be a good mother and wife, in spite of the great responsibilities in my job I do not want to neglect my family, so I have q looking to learn to assume greater responsibilities in the family and work.
My personal plans are to have a beautiful family, therefore I hope to have a work schedule that allows me to have a normal life with the people I love, for this I have a job for 8 or 12 hours a day, 5 days week at most, and to share with my family is very important to me.

Education and prevention



Education can be defined as the process of socialization of individuals. By educating a person learns and assimilates knowledge.
The educational process can be successfully achieved by following good education strategies in people. The educational process can be successfully achieved by following good education strategies in people, we can educate people, giving them the tools to learn on any topic, and motivating about this. to develop an interesting way to acptar the attention of people, making them feel involved and very active, involved in the learning process.Can be individually or in groups if you want to work in community.
In the area of the education health of the population is very important to prevent disease and essential part of the prevention of these. Some important issues to be addressed in health are the prevention of chronic diseases that affect significantly the global population, the largest cause of death in most countries, especially those developed countries. Some important issues to be addressed in health are the prevention of chronic diseases that affect significantly the global population, the largest cause of death in most countries, especially those developed countries, there are also important issues as are sexually transmitted diseases, drug use, teen pregnancy, etc. All these issues are of great importance and prevalence in today's society.
People who will be focused health education programs, will be those that make up the risk groups, which have the greatest possibility of acquiring a disease either.For example in the case of chronic diseases, education and prevention will be focused on those eprsonas with poor health habits in diet and physical activity. In this case the most important prevention is avoiding bad habits in the population. The education this in part by family groups to prevent the development of the disease.
A particular issue I would like to try one that is directly related to my career as a midwife, the imprinting this refers to the attachment of the mother with her child.
In our country there is the "Chile Grows with You" which addresses the issue of imprinting, by promoting various behaviors that the mother and son have a relationship of love from the beginning of pregnancy.

The Gender Role in health care.


In our country the differences between men and women are becoming smaller, but if we analyze the situation in some areas, differences still exist.
If we speak of the role of gender in the health care we can say that more doctors are male, because the medicine is an area of health that requires many years of study and perseverance, also entered the woman socially to study this kind of career for a very short time. Women are usually more likely to interrupt their studies because of pregnancy or take the desicion to start a family for 7 or more years of study it takes to race. Usually women go in shorter races such as nursing, nutrition or midwife. the most important reason is given by the society and our culture from many years ago set these parameters.The responsibilities of health professionals in hospitals depend on the charges incurred, today both men and women are being directors of hospitals. In recent years we have seen women being ministers of health. This shows which, despite the slow changes in our society in this area, little by little the difference between men and women in employment is lower.
Currently any health career admits both men and women alike, and the number of men in careers such as midwifery, nutrition and nursing has increased.
Despite all the changes in recent years, the difference between salaries for men and women is still a lot, because a woman doing the same job as a man in any profession in the area of health, takes a lower salary. This is because women are more likely to interrupt their working hours because of responsibilities of home and family.
In hospitals health professionals have been granted certain female patients, because men tend to visit very soon to the doctor, because the men when apdecen disease reach the hospital when the disease is well advanced. The men do not attend health checks, because it is in their culture.
The type of patients also depend on the area of health, is how a midwife attend to women preferably.
Both men and women can develop professionally, because they acted no discrimination by sex.The opportunities for higher education or more depends only on the intellect of each person.
This is why women occupy high posts, and are becoming more professional in what they do.

This day I will comment about my future as a midwife. My future plans are to work first in the metropolitan region to acquire the knowledge and experimentation needed to be a good professional, then go to work in La Serena because beyond this all my family and I would like to return to live with them and they can see me practicing my profession in an integrated manner.
Midwives work in shifts 12 hours a day.I like to have a schedule of eight hours because I want time to enjoy my friends, besides the work is fun but very tiring.I want to work Monday to Friday and in a normal job.
First I would like to work in the public area, to acquire more knowledge about the national situation, helping people with less education and economic resources to have a healthy lifestyle. After that, I would like to work in my region, in conjunction with a medical team, conducting health projects for the community, focusing mainly on women.In later years, I would like to join a medical team in the private sector, applying all the techniques you learned earlier. I like to work in the area public and private simultaneously although it is very tiring, I would have a lot of work!I think that will solve this issue at this time.
I want to specialize in public health, because so I can have more contact with the community, noting their concerns and addressing your health problem , this has a bigger impact in the population. I want to participate in epidemiological and demographic research related to health.
After acquiring all this experience working with the community in the public system and participating in health research for women,after acquiring all this experience working with the community in the public system and participating in health research for women, I'd like to occupy high posts, being director of a clinic in La Serena and forming part the College of Midwives of Chile.
Maybe are very ambitious but I think you can accomplish what you intend.
