PET practice (week 10)

Hello people!! I have PET practice in reading, listening and vocabulary, and my reflection about these activities is:

 Well, of the three skills, the most challenging for me was listening, because I don’t understand to the people of the sound recording L and it is very difficult for me.
The task most difficult for me was “Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET) Listening, part 2”, because I don’t like this activity and I was not attentive.
And, the task most easy was reading, I don’t know why, but it is the activity that I like me more.  

Activities PET

Hello, today I must to write the final score of the activities of the unit “PLACE TO STAY” of the UChile platform.

At first activity I had to read a text and answer any question. I answered 8 correct questions of 10, and my final score was 80%. At second activity, I had 6 correct questions of 7. Well, I must admit that I don’t know much vocabulary and there are some words that I don’t know, so I was wrong in any questions.

2) ACTIVITY 3: From the Top 10 places to visit
Well, of this 10 place I choose the Taj Mahal in India, because is a beautiful palace. I love this country because I think that is wonderful and interesting, beyond of its culture, its constructions and architecture are surprising!! And the Taj Mahal is the palace more wonderful of the world; also it was built for love. It is charming! I love it :D

3) Well, I think that learn English is very important, because “open doors”. In the life, in the university and in the job, the English is very useful. Actually, is the universal language; in every countries you can communicate if you know speak English. So, learn it from child it’s really good and it will be useful in the future.

my blogging experience

s

Hello!!! How are you? I'm very fine! A little tired, because is end of semester and I have many test, but I had good marks (or I hope so haha).
Well, today I'm going to talk about my blogging experience. This semester, I had the subject "English 4 or Intermediate", and one of the activities of this course was write post in a blog. Every week, we must to write about diffrent topics and then these blogs were evaluated by the teacher. 
This experience has been great, I learned a lot, and it helped me a lot to improve my writing in English. I must admit that is easier to write than speak, and I like it. I think that this mode helps a lot to develop learning. 
In the future, the English subject should include more oral presentation for the best development of this area, and the students will improve the orality. Also, would be nice include investigation work or report in English to improve reading ability. 
For the next blogs, I would like to write about more specific issues of degree, for expample about the specialties. Also, I would like to write about music and TV shows. 
Well, this is the last bolg that I will write this semester! It was a pleasure!! Good bye guys! 

Recycle!!

 

Hello people!! How are you! I’m very fine J Well, today I’m going to talk about how green I’m and I will answer this questions:

Where do people learn about enviromentally friendly practices?

Well, in actuality recycle is trendy, so there are many ways to learn how to do it, like television reports, workshops ,by different medium of communication, etc.

Have you incorporated recycling into your habits? Describe

Yes, I recycle. I take out the garbage the paper and the plastic bottles in separate bags, and I give it to the people who collect cardboard for to sell it.  Also, I deposit the glass bottles in the container of COANIQUEM.

Do you use a bike or your legs instead of a car?

Yes, I love to ride a bike!! With my friend go to the park and the other place in bike, because we don’t like the public transport and we prefer ride a bike, so we save money and take care of the planet.

Have you joined or supported any eco-organisations? Why/Why not?

MMM no, because I don’t have time. The university consumes me, but I would like to join it.  

What else have you done /would you like to do?

I would like to support any eco-organisation, because I think that is very important care to the planet!! And we must know this. Many people take out the garbage in the street, parks, river, etc and they pollute. So, we must be responsible with our planet.

What have you done to reduce your carbon footprint?

Well, it’s very difficult, but I try not to go by car.

What's missing in our society/Santiago regarding this issue?

We need education!!! Many people pollute the city and do not care!! It is horrible. Well, we must learn to care our planet.  

Well, We see the next week! bye :) 

My favorite subject :)

Hello people!! How are you? I’m very fine, this week I have been relaxed, because I have not had tests! Well, in this blog I will write about my favorite subject this semester! It is very difficult to choose a favorite subject, but I will try it!!

Well, this semester I have had many subjects, but I like anthropology. The classes of this subject are made by psychologists; they are responsible to teach us the psychological aspect of our degree, the odontology. I like this subject, because we learn to treat patients differently, of another way.

The anthropology is a science that studies the physical, social and cultural aspects and manifestations of humans. So, in this subject, they teach us that the patients are a persons and no just a mouth, we must look to the patient as integral being.

I like this subject because complements all clinical subjects, we learnt and can associate the behavior of people when they are in the dental consultation or when they feel pain. The teacher teaches us to understand the patient, to be empathetic and polite, etc.

My expectations for the next year subjects are good as this, and that we continue to learn thing that help us to treat patients.

That’s all folks!! Good bye!  

Activities!

Hello my dear friend, I and my partner did U.chile activities in the platform and our score was regularly ha ha ha.

In the unit 4, we did 3 activities:

1.  We hear the dialogue of people

2.  In the questionnaire, we got 6 correct answers 11

3.  In the questionnaire, we got 57 correct answers 68

In the unit 5, we did 3 activities:

1.       The questionnaire "Are You a Compulsive Spender? "It was fun and we got the following result : you have a firm Grip in your wallet

2.       In this activity we read "10 Ways To Save Money" and we find them very interesting. we will use them in our lives

3.       In the questionnaire we answered 23 of 30 questions correct

We think that our results were good, but could be better, if we study what we can achieve more. 

1.       We think that compulsive spenders are uncontrolled people.  They spend a lot of money on unnecessary things and they are much indebted. These people should receive psychological help and family support so that they can change.

2.       We think that the most common problem to face along dentists their career is that no patient enough to practice. Also, they must buy materials are very expensive. This career is stressful, because students must study hard and get good grades

Goodbye friends, we hope you liked our blog!

And these are very beautiful and interesting!! And few people know about them, like Nazca, Iquitos, Chiclayo and other. Also, we would like go to Bolivia, because this country has a great culture and many beautiful places. I think that it is very important know other countries and much more important know those in Latin American, because has a native history very interesting.

It is fails this plans, with my friends of university we would like go to south of Chile. Cony is from Chillan, and her mom invited us to her home. Then, we go to Temuco, Valdivia, Osorno, Puerto Montt, Chiloe, and as far as we can!!! The south of Chile is wonderful! The landscapes are beautiful, especially the vegetation.

My best friends!!!

Hello people!!! How are you? I’m very fine! A little tired, but fine. Well, today, I’m going to write about my best friends!!!! Yes! They are persons very important to me and today I will talk of them.

My best friend of the life is Martina and Maria Paz. They are my best friend ever!!!  I met them in 2009 when we were in confirmation in the church. From there, we have never separated!! When we are together, we are a pump!! Because the three we are very screaming! And we laughed too much! Hahahah. We are very different, Martina is very funny and Maria Paz is very tender. We are friend for 6 years, and I think that we will be friend for a long time, because we complement. And, but let’s not talk every day, we always support and listen. I love them so much! They are the best!!!

In 2014, I met some very special people. They are my university friend! Coni, Kari and Rodrigo. We are a great quarter! We laughed too much! We spend a lot of time together; we study, lunch and practice together!!! I see them every day of the week. I love them, because they are a great company and support in the university.

My dream Job!

Hello!!! How are you? I’m very fine! Well, today I will talk about my dream job. I study dentistry in the University of Chile. So, my dream job is to be a dentist.

I love this profession. When I was little, I wanted to work in a hospital, like my mother. Since then, I like everything about of area of health care. I investigated about various professions, and I liked the Odontology.

This job must be indoors, because it needs of some care of hygiene. But, the oral prevention must be outdoors, because it needs the participation of the people. Be a dentist involves always study, so I can to travel to other countries for study in its universities. But, travel for work is difficult, because the dentist works in hospitals, consultation, etc.

I would like to work at the hospital, I like help to people. Dentistry has different specialties, like odontopediatrics, endodontic, rehabilitation, etc. But, I would like study the odontopediatrics, because I like work with childrens, and help them. I think that is very important to teach personal care since childhood, because is in this stage habits are formed. Thus, they will have a good oral hygiene as adults and teach it to their children.

Well, I love my major! Good bye  

My favorite series!

Hello people!! Today I’m going to write about my favorite series! This is CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

CSI is the best series ever! I love it!! This series is of science fiction and is about a group of forensics that solves crimes with new technologies in different cities of United States, like Miami, Las Vegas and New York.

I like this series, because it is very interesting and entertaining.  CSI consists of independent episodes that are about different crimes, like murders, kidnapping, attempted murders and others cases. The forensics keeps every clue to solve the problem and capture the murderer.

CSI was the first series of crimes, and then left others series similar, like Bone and NCIS. The new version of CSI is CSI: cyber. This is about cybernetic crimes like terrorist threats and kidnappings.

Also, I like other kind of series, like The Simpsons. This is an animated series that is about an American family. I like The Simpsons, because is a comedy and is very funny.

I have never seen The Walking Death, but my brother told me that this series is great and entertaining, so I would like see it ha ha ha!

I love watch TV and the series, my favorite channel is TNT series ha ha ha !!!    

My favorite food!! The Humitas

Hello people!! How are you? I’m very fine!! Well, today I’m going to write about my favorite food, the humitas.

The humitas is a typical food of Chile. It is dough of corn with fried onion, basil and spices, wrapped in the corn leaf. This food is prepared in summer, when the corn is fresh. And it is made sweet or salty.

I like the humitas because my grandmother made when I was little, I love it! With this food I remember my childhood. Also, I love humitas because I can eat with tomato!!! It is a delight!!

Usually, I eat this food in the grandmother’s house, when she prepares humitas my family goes to her house and we lunch together.  Sometimes, my mom prepares this food in my house, but it is not like my grandmother!! Ha ha ha.

I don’t know cook my favorite food, but I would like to learn. I always help my grandmother to cook humitas in the summer, but I don’t know the recipe!! I think that she has a secret to prepare it, because she made very delicious.

Well! Thanks for read my blog! Bye! 

The Best Holidays ever!!!!

Hello people! How are you?! This week  I’m going to write about the best holidays ever!! Well, in the summer, I went to Uruguay with my best friend, Martina.

Martina was born in Montevideo, her mom is Uruguayan and her dad is Chilean. In the summer we went to Uruguay for one month, the best month ever!!!!

In Uruguay I met many beautiful places! In Montevideo, we went to Pocitos Beach, Rodo Park and the Historical Center. In a restaurant, I ate a lot! Milanesa, mozzarella,chivito and typical food of the country.

In the second week, we went to the Piriapolis, there it is San Francisco Beach, this is a beautiful place and very serene. Also, we went to “Casapueblo”, this is a museum of Carlos Paez Vilaro, a famous Uruguayan painter. I met Punta del Este, it’s great! Their beaches are beautiful and the Atlantic Oceans is very cold!!

This holidays was great! I had a lot of fun! I met many places. The Uruguayan culture is different, the people are different, they are more relaxed! Ha ha ha!

Well, I loved Uruguay! Is a beautiful country! 

England!

Hello people! My name is Katherine Sagredo, I’m 20 years old and this is my blog. Well, today I going to talk about the country that I would like to go. I like many countrys, specially european countrys. But I think that the best country to go is United Kingdom.

United Kingdom is in Europe. This country has 4 nations: Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.  I like it because is a country with a long history.

In this country I would like to know their citys and landscapes. In Londres, I would like to know the Queen in the Buckingham Palace, and go to Trafalgar Square, Victoria Tower, London Eye, etc.

When I become a dentist, I would like go to England to study and then work there. I like this country and I think that their culture is great and the people are different. This country is beautiful and I love it.

From today, I will save for my "euro trip" and hope that this be very soon!!
