English language challenges

Imagen
  When I was a child, my dad was always teaching me new words in English, so when I entered the first years of school I was already handling the most basic words. In all my years of study at school, I always had English classes, however, as the years went by, the level of difficulty increased more and more, so I understood the language less and less. I remember my English teachers very fondly, one of them was even finished in the Global Teacher Prize, she was really a vocational teacher. They used different methods to teach us, from listening classics when the teacher came to the classroom with the radio, to completing song lyrics, it was fun, but if I'm honest when I listen to English I understand it less than when I read it. At the university I think I have not had a significant learning in English, in my opinion we are in a system where it is more important to approve branches than to actually learn and that can sometimes play against us, but blogs have been a good method to...

Changes to my study programme

Imagen
 I think this is a very interesting topic. First of all, I have to mention that I study dentistry, it is a career that lasts 6 years in case one does not fall behind, however, a dental student in Chile completes the degree in an average of 8 years. In the 4 semesters that I have been in the career, I have had 7 subjects in all of them, some have a heavier academic load than others. For example, in this semester the areas with the highest academic load are "Biological and clinical bases for diagnosis" and "simulation for professional practice", in my opinion, as these are more difficult areas and with a greater number of classes, they require a lot of study time, which is sometimes difficult to achieve because it is also necessary to comply with the other branches, so that deep learning is not achieved. I really would like the number of classes that upload to the platform to be less, since that way one could focus on fewer classes and achieve better learning. Regardi...

My favorite food

Imagen
 In today's blog I'm going to talk about my favorite food, it was a bit difficult to choose because in general I like many foods, but I decided on French fries. I know it sounds like a very basic meal, but I'm not talking about the French fries alone, but rather accompanied by another food and this is one of the biggest reasons why I chose this dish and that is that they can be eaten with many other foods and it will always be rich, for example, it can be accompanied with meat, with rice, with sauces, mushrooms, vegetables and a lot more! They are also easy to prepare and everyone can eat them, they are the union food between people who eat meat, vegetarians and vegans haha ​​the years that I was a vegetarian were a great company, since when I went out to eat it was a bit difficult to find dishes that could eat. I have to say that my dad is not very good at cooking (I include myself in this), his recipes are quite limited and I have to say that sometimes they are limited to...

My future job

Imagen
In this blog I will talk about my future work. I am currently studying dentistry, so I can only imagine myself working in that profession. It is a profession that works in a small space and indoors and the truth is I don't like that very much, I find it boring and I would love it if it could be done outdoors, but I don't think it's possible haha. On the other hand, I would love to travel to different parts of the world and be able to carry out my career in those places. I would like to specialize in pediatric dentistry and have fun with young children while taking care of their smiles, but the truth is not a profession that wants to perform all my life, I would like maybe to study something else and try new things, maybe something that doesn't need to be sitting in a small space all day and every day. Generally when I tell someone that I study dentistry, their reaction is usually "wow you will earn a lot of money" or something similar, but in my opinion ...

Musician

Imagen
  Personally, I am a very varied person in relation to musical tastes, I could say that I do not currently have any favorite singer or band, but in this case I will talk about a singer that marked my adolescence a lot. My favorite singer is Ed Sheeran, I have liked him since I was 14 years old, I like him because as I said before, he marked a stage, his concert was the first one I went to, this happened in 2017 and I went with my best friend, it was a really incredible experience. At the time after finishing his tour, Ed moved away from music and social networks, since he said that he would take a break after having a total of 246 concerts, distributed in almost all continents and throughout more than 2 years. He also said that he wanted to spend time with his family. It was at that moment when my fanaticism got a bit over (hahaha) and I started listening to other types of music and discovering new singers. If you don't know him by name, you have surely heard his song called ...

Series that I recommend

Imagen
In this blog I will talk about a series that I saw a few months ago and that is produced by Robert Downey and his wife Susan, and created by filmmaker Jim Mickle. I'm talking about "Sweet tooth", which is inspired by a DC comic and was recorded in New Zealand. This series has a season with 8 chapters, and the second season will be released soon. It is about the birth of a hybrid species between humans with animal characteristics and their search for survival in a world where humans are hunting different people. In addition, the series refers to a virus called H5G9, which is devastating humanity and is thought to have to do with hybrids. Its main actors are Christian Convery, Nonso Anozie and Stefania Lavie Owen, and some of the supporting actors are Will Forte, Naledi Murray, Adeel Akhtar, among others. I like this series because it is fantasy and adventure, which makes it a very familiar series, also because it is a pandemic story, but it does not refer to what we ...

Best holidays

Imagen
  Well, to begin with I want to say that I have never been abroad, but I think that in the south we can find the most beautiful landscapes of Chile. Today I will talk about my vacation in Puerto Montt. This happened in 2016, I went with my parents and brother, we even took our dog. The way there was very long, since we went by car and the place we went was far from the center, the best thing about the way there was that we had to get on a barge and cross the sea, it was really amazing, the landscapes that we saw from the middle of the sea they were very beautiful. When we arrived my uncle was waiting for us, it was a very quiet and small place, there were forests and beaches to which we went for a walk every day. We went for a week and it was the best vacation because I was able to meet again with my family that I had not seen for many years, get to know their house and new places.
