Your experiencie learning english!!!!


English is a language originating in northwestern Europe, which belongs to the Germanic branch of Indo-European languages and was developed in England, released from its origin in the British Isles and many of its former overseas colonies.
English is probably the third language in the world in number of speakers who are native speakers (between 300 and 400 million people), and the second most spoken, behind Mandarin Chinese, if you count those who have it also as a second language (200 million people).
English, England extending their language around the world (British Empire), and to become the United States of America in the greatest economic and military power, has become the de facto lingua franca of our day

While I have related to English since I was little, I've never been this easy to learn, it has determined that as time has passed my love of English has declined ever further. But despite this, my experience with English was not bad.
Since small school, I taught English, then continued in college English classes.
This has helped me gain an understanding of some studies of authors who write in English only, so I made my profession apply the knowledge I acquired.

Despite knowing that English is for the universal language of today, learning more and it becomes more difficult. I've never been able to develop much interest in English, and learn it difficult and tedious to me.

The truth is I've never had much experience in learning English, and that bothers me. I think I must somehow develop more capacity to pursue learning, as they will be of vital importance in my future career.

One of the reasons I think they've conditioned my poor learning English are the little time I have to devote to study English, although both the school and the University try to give the bodies to learn English, time can be set aside this is too little. Another reason is the need for language instruction is more personalized, as not all have the same level of English, which makes a course some students learn more and achieve further progress, while those who know less left behind.

Anyway ... ... conclusion of the question I want to make self-criticism.
Learning English is now necessary, both for working life, to interact with different people in the world. But I think the teaching methods taught both in school and in the Universities are poor. Since not everyone has the same capacity for learning, and perhaps many times have the desire to learn, but seeing that we lag behind in comparison to our peers, becoming more frustrated, making it finally leaves the study of this.

Diabetes and obesity rates soar to 'shocking' levels!!!!!!


Hi all, today I come to talk about a story that talks about the alarming numbers of diabetes and obesity affecting people in the UK,,

According to figures released in the news concerns the number of people with diabetes has increased by 150,000 in the last year and one in 20 adults in the UK now has the status of obese, according to data from the organization against obesity and poor nutrition

The organization described the figures as staggering and calls on the government internalized more on the subject to take action on it, because it affects a large part of the British population.

There are some risk factors that are directly related to type 2 diabetes and obesity, these are the sedentary lifestyle and poor diet, where over 90% of diabetics (2.5 million people in the UK) have diabetes type two, so in my opinion are bad lifestyles that are promoting these conditions.

Another thing I found alarming are figures showing that about 2.8 million persons 17 and older suffer from diabetes, this is because since they are children practice a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet.

Risk factors for diabetes are overweight have forty years and have close relatives with diabetes ... have wide or larger waist. The symptoms follow this problem include frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, increased thirst and fatigue.

Compared to the United States the figures are even more alarming because the centers of disease control and prevention suggest that diabetes may prevail and increase between one and five years


In conclusion are healthy lifestyles that hinder the increase of these diseases, so a healthy lifestyle, encourage exercise and good nutrition is the best option to take if you want to avoid these diseases.

That's it for today, I hope I have given objective and useful information to the knowledge of each person who reads it.

DEALING WITH STRESS


Hello everybody, today I want to talk you about of a topic very important for our Chilean society in these days: the “Dealing of Stress”.
According to studies by School of Psychology, in partnership with Synovate Chile, conducted a survey that sought to measure the stress level present in all Chileans. The sample, nationally representative, revealed that one in four Chilean has a high stress level, and 27 percent of the population had collapsed to handle difficult situations.
This situation is very preoccupying, because we as health professionals are in charge of dealing stress.
Stress is defined as the consequence of the failure of an organism to respond appropriately to emotional or physical threats, whether actual or imagined. Stress symptoms commonly include a state of alarm and adrenaline production, short-term resistance as a coping mechanism, and exhaustion, as well as irritability, muscular tension, inability to concentrate and a variety of physiological reactions such as headache and elevated heart rate.
Among the causes of stress are: physiological, these causes are related to diseases and injuries of the body, psychological vulnerability is related to emotional and cognitive, social and environmental.
Some consequences of ongoing stress can generate anxiety states ending blocking the functioning of cognitive processes, i.e., our mental clarity.

Recurrent concern, for example, can invade our sleep and stay awake most of the night, and fears that are imposed on all other thoughts are able to distract us from what we are doing.
The central feature of the reaction that causes us stress is uncertainty, an uncertainty that triggers an alert to confirm the possibility of a threat.

But there are different ways or methods to address the problem of stress. There are stress management techniques: massages, leisure activities, relaxation exercises, opt for alternative medicine such as yoga, etc.
Well, is this all for day…….Goodbye.

The Role OF Music


Hello everybody, today I want to talk you about something very important in my life: the music. I think if in my life the music did not exist, I do not know what I would do because the music is present all the time, I mean sometimes I am listening to music or I am singing in the halls of the university or I am singing when I am going home or when I am in home I sing some karaokes to relax or just is in my mind. I think that the music fills my life in every way: I enjoy it, I remember things with it, it is always with me, I recognize myself with some songs.

I like to listen to rock, any kind of rock: alternative, chilean, pop, punk. Sometimes I like to listen to romantic music or soundtracks of movies, but generally I am always listening to differents kinds of music.

I get my music from the internet I look for it in some pages where I can download the albums or songs that I want and sometimes I buy the cd's in Feria del Disco (only when I have money, because here is very expensive to buy the cd's).

I follow a lot of groups and singers, the first of all is The Strokes because is my favourite group ever, then are the rest: De Saloon, Javiera Parra, Javiera Mena, The distillers, Supernova, Britney Spears, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Golem, Maroon 5, Los tres, among others. I feeel happy when I hear them, and I know all the songs of some groups, and when I am in home I like to listen to music very loud, the good thing is that my mother does not get angry when I do that. I hear the different kind of music with no special moment I feel the same way with it when I study, when I am happy or sad, when I am with my friends or when I am walking in the street.

My favorite book.


Hi again!!!! Today I will speak about my favorite book.

In the Christmas of this year my dad gives to me the book “El símbolo perdido” of Dan Brown. This is the best book that I have read, because it has an incredible story, fabulous characters and the topics more controversial of the world today.

The book speak about the adventures of a symbology expert and professor at Harvard called Robert Langdon, who must rescue his best friend Peter Salomon that has been kidnapped by a maniac.

In the beginning of the book Langdon is summoned unexpectedly by Peter Solomon, Mason, philanthropist and his former mentor, to give a lecture at the Capitol. But Peter's kidnapping and the finding of a hand tattooed with five enigmatic symbols change drastically the course of the events. Caught between the requirements of a disturbed mind and the official investigation, Langdon meets immersed in a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, tells the history never conceals and scenes before seen, that seem to drag it towards a simple but inconceivable truth.

The most interesting is that this book is the fourth book of the saga and for me the best of all.

I have read this book probably a three times; simply I am charmed with it. I recommend it to every who want read a very good history. I assure that in the moment you start to read the book, you will not stop even finish.

Well, that was all for today, the next week I will tell of another thing.
Bye!

My Blogging Experience


Hello everybody,today I am going to tell you how have been my experience writting in my blog.
First I have to say that I enjoyed writting here the different topics that the teacher had said that we should develop although sometimes I did not like the topics, but the funniest thing was that I had to write in another lenguaje that sometimes is difficult for me.
I think that I enjoy this because like I said before, this was a new experience and it became to be a challenge every Thursday when I had to write in my blog because I did not know some words that I needed to write and often I had to use a dictionary for look for the words, also I liked it too because I learnt many words and I develope other form in which I could implement my knowledge of English and I hope that you like my uploaded blogs.

This experience helped me enough for improve my english because I feel that when I talk in english with my classmates and when I have to translate papers for study for my subjects and when I have to do investigations.

I do not have any disadvantage of my blogging experience because I think that this helps to anybody that is newly entering to the world of blogs and want to share things about his or her life and in some way implement the ability to create texts in English at the same time that have some fun and know another people in the web. Finally I like this form of learn a little more of english.

This is the last blog that I write, but I hope that this isn’t my last experience with the blog, because although has been very difficult for me, made me realize that if I can write in English!!!!!!

Thanks for reading my blogs!!

Goodbye!!!!

My ideal Job


My ideal job in the future would be one in that I can go dressed as I like, because I do not like the shoes that the midwives wear in the job (like shoes for grandmothers),I know that they are comfortable, but I would prefer my style. I think that my ideal job would be in Ñuñoa or in Provicencia, because I like those communes. In this work I would have a month vacation in summer and two weeks in winter to rest because it will be stressful. But forgetting those things, I will like to work as a midwife in a clinic, but for this I would need a lot of quialities and skills like: punctuality, responsibility, mastery of the procedures, I will have to be nice and cozy with clients, patient, observer and knowing how to work in groups.

I think that I would be good in my job because, I am going to love what I will do and because I think that I will have all the quialities and skills that I would can need.
I think it will be difficult to get a job like this because I know that many things that I want are impossible, I mean a month of vacation or to go with the clothes that I want is something that I will not can do, but I know that I will find some job that likes me and that I can realize.

Education and Prevention


Hello!!!...today I speak about “Education and Prevention” in my career. This is a very important topic, because, is a principal tasks of me career.
All women need to be educated in different topics, for example: birth control, abortion, pregnancy, eating habits, etc. , but one of issues requiring most further education and prevention today is the “Teen Pregnancy”, and we have the responsibility of give the education correct and of prevent this situation.
The “Teen Pregnancy” is a topic very controversial and hard of treat. Our roles as midwifes is prevent at any cost this situation, because affects not only a one person, if not to all a family.
Education should be directed according to the needs of people, and it must take into account for example the age, the where they live, social stratum to which belong, etc.
The education and prevention go together always, because the education is a tool of the prevention. We can educate of different ways, for example with “talks”, workshops, games, etc.
Other topic very important in our career is the birth control, because all the women resort to the midwife for help and advice to have a birth control, and then a family planning. This last topic also is very vital, because we must promote healthy and responsible sexuality, to avoid unwanted children, abortions and teenage pregnancy.
In conclusion, the midwives are a focus education for all the population, so always must use this feature for prevents any kind of problems affecting the population.
This is all for today….Goodbye!!

A Very Controversial Topic


Hello!!!....am me again!! Today I will speak about one topic very interesting and controversial: Gender Role in Health Care.

Always has existed one big difference between the gender female and masculine in the area of the health professionals, for example: in the medical career have always been more men than women, on the contrary in the nursing and obstetric career have always been more women than men.

This situation has occurred, because some careers are classified as “careers for women and men’s careers”. This is the case of my career: Obstetrics and Child care is classified as a career for women, and although are many more the women working in this area, men also do.

The men that deciding work in this area are very few, but are excellent professionals like women. Women and men share the same responsibilities, newborn care and women, but the most of the male midwives, they choose the newborn care.

The most surprising is that although there are more female midwives, the male midwives are more quoted and requested that female midwives. Because many women say that they are more careful and kind.

On the wage issue is no difference between men and women, because this depends of the speciality and of the workplace, for example in a clinic the salary is far better that in a hospital.

No difference to me between women and men, to be midwife only you need to have vocation and the desire to care for women and the newborn.

My future as a Midwife

Hello!, I was thinking about what I would like to be doing 5 years from now. And the first that I thought is that I will be a great midwife of the University of Chile, titled and graduated in just five years.

I would like to be working in the high- risk area of a hospital, because I think that is the best place for acquire all the experience that I want. I would like care to women of every ages and to the newborn, but, I like more the care of the woman, because, for me, is most difficult that care of newborn.

Also I was thinking much in the possibility of work in a rural hospital, because in those places is where most needed the health professional. But in this case, I would like be chief of the area, in others words, be responsible of this entire place.


As a midwife I hope to one day be head of the maternity unit at high risk of a prestigious hospital, or head of any consulting room.

Also I would like get my doctorate and master’s, because I would like make classes in the University, because always I liked the teaching.

I would like have specialization in the gynecology unit, and specifically in high-risk unit, because I feel that is the most difficult sector to work in a hospital.

That’s all for now.

My favourite subject

Hello!!!!!....am me again!!... Today I will speak about my favourite subject in the career.
In the career of obstetrics there are many subjects very interesting and important, but the most interesting subject for me is “Nursing fundamentals”, because is the most practical and exciting of all.
Now in “Nursing fundamentals”, are teaching the importance of the nursing process in our career, because help me to ordering information registered in the anamnesis of a user, and this is very important in the attention of any person.
The most difficult of this subject is the practice, because we need to implement all the knowledge delivered by teachers and them put into practice with people at clinics and hospitals.

For me, the practice is the most exciting of the career.

The teachers who teach these subjects are spectacular, because help me in everything, in my consultations and doubts. I love speak with them, because are very kind.

In the last time, my grades and marks in these subjects have been very spectacular, because I study very much because I love all in these subjects, the theme, the teachers and particular practices.

There is one teacher in particular that I admire in this subject; her name is the professor Jovita, because she is no only a teacher for me, but is a friend.

Something about me!


Hi! My name is Catherine Gonzalez, I have 19 year old. I study Obstetrics and Puericulture in the University of Chile and I’m in the second years of my career.
I live in Santiago with my mother, father and sister. I like to dance, to swim and speak with my friends.
My expectations with my career are working in hospitals, clinics and doctor's offices. Never I have been earn money, because my career is directed to the people of social all kinds, especially to the people of low resources.
The Primary Attention is my inspiration for study this career.
In the earthquake of 28 of February I was with my mother in my house. I was sleeping in the floor, because my families were changing house. My reaction in that moment was treating of calm down, but I end fainting awayIf I had been working in that moment, I think that I had helped to the people to calm down.
