Image
Hi bloggers, What's up? Today I'm very happy because of the holidays, the opportunity to rest and forgot the university for a little bit, also I'm gonna write about my personal experience with English courses and their activities. I've done the four Comunicational English courses at the university because I want to learn the most as I can, I can say that each is different from the other in the topic aspect and I think that is great because give some variability to the course and it touches on topics thats very usefull in our life. The exercises we do in the course are listenning, reading, writing, complete, talking, between others. I understood that everyone has different habilities and difficulties, and in my case the most difficult thing is to talk in english, because sometimes I don't know how to say some words, this is why I must practice at home, I think that a good way to practice is watching videos in youtube or practice with a partner, because I

Post 9 : Changes to my study program

Hi bloggers:  What's new? Today I'm gonna write about the Agriculture study programme at the University of Chile, before I start this career I looked for the study programme in many others universitys, but the programme most I liked was in the university of Chile because I felt this was the most scientific, and I was in the right. Agriculture includes the study of plants, soil, animals, labs, nutritionists and research, and sometimes I think that the focus of the classes are only the production and yield effcient, and thats fine but there are other things that are also important like how treat with farmers, the extension area, the new technologies that we are going to work in te future, between others. I believe that sometimes the agriculture that we learn in the academy is not the same that we will live in the fields, and I think that we have to be prepared to deal with this challenge with a previous preparation, so we can be better proffessionals. This could be done with m

Environmental conflicts

H i bloggers, What's new? Today I'm gonna write about a topic that involves us all, environmental conflicts, they are conflicts traditionally induced by an environmental degradation, but they can manifest themselves as political, social, economic, ethnic, religious or territorial conflicts, conflicts over resources or national interests, or any other type of conflict. In Chile we have a lot to talk about this topic because the  government management and state policies leaves a lot to be desired, and Chile is one of the top 5 countries with most environmental conflicts in the world, sad but true. In the mark of looking information about environmental conflicts in Chile I found a book of the Human Rights National Institute (INDH), were you can look all the conflicts in chile untill 2012, there is 97 conflicts who involve vulneration human rights if the companies get their proyects off the ground. Some of this conflicts are  mining project, contamination by heavy metals,

Postgraduate studies

Hi readers, What's new? 😁 Today I'm gonna write about postgraduate studies, this is a topic very interesting for me, because the next year I've planned to take advantage of the opportunity that the university brings to us, wich is do a master at the end of undergraduate studies, with a lower fee and doing just one thesis for  getting the professional certificate  and  the Master's degree. I hope to be selected and have a discount on the tuition because is a huge effort for me and my family to study outside my origin place. I'm gratefull that they support me and value the knowledge, they instilled that on me, that's why I want to study and learn the most I can. I think a Master open a lot of doors In the future, and make you a better professional in your study area, the knowledge you can adquire is more specialized and deep. For now, I like a lot of study areas specially fruticulture, biochemistry, plant physiology, fertilization and crops, but I think

My future job

Hi bloggers, What's new? 🐰 Today I'm going to write a topic that I wonder myself everyday: What I'm gonna do when I finish my career?, but the real and most important question is: What I want to do?,  I don't know it clearly but what I know is that I started Agriculture career with a posture; to look foward the sustai y un poco mandona nable food production, also improving the way agriculture affects enviroment, this is why I don't want to be a professional that work in base a recipes of agrochemicals or fertilizers, I want to hep people, specially the small farmers which sometimes don't have state help or financing; This can be do in several ways, the one i like it most is by sharing the knowledge with the farmers in a simpler way that they can easily understand. But I also love to study and learn increasingly, this is why I want postulate to a master the next year. I would like a job where I can help farmer or investigate things. If I were asked in a job i

Videogames

Hi bloggers. Today I´m gonna write about videogames. My history with videogames started when I was a child, because my father and my brother were fans of videogames and I always watched them play or sometimes I played with them. For the same I always had access to playstation consoles and a lot of games. But when I was a teenager I discovered the online gameplay, this was the moment I was most involved with video games, because this game mode was one of my favorites, I could meet people and compete with colleagues, have teams and all this was very funny for me. The first videogame online I played was MU, in this game I met many people and are still my friends so far. Then I played many online games like Counter strike, LOL, etc. but finally I end up getting bored and the time became scarce when I enter the university. There are many types of video games but the ones I like most today are adventure and mystery or riddles, those that have good graphics and gameplay, an interesting s

Hi readers! Today I'm gonna write about one of my favorite things to do, sadly I don't have much time to watch movies but when I can, always enjoy it very much! My favourite kind is cult movies, is a film that has acquired a cult following, and its transversal to all kinds, like comedy, drama, thrillers, science fiction and others. I prefer this kind of movies because of my father, he is also a fan and always watch cult movies, I learned to love cinema with him. One of my favourites movies of all times is Leon: The Professional, is a french Thriler film, with three of my favourites actors Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman. In the film Jean Reno is Leon a profesional hitman, who takes Mathilda (Nataly Portman at 12 years old) after her family is murdered by a corrupt agent Gary Oldman, Leon an Mathilda form a closer relationship, and is a very beautiful movie that you must watch...😉 I think watching movies, make us react and notice or feel things we usually don'
