My experience learning English at the university

Hello everyone, how everything is going on?
Ok, today I have to talk to you about my experience learningn English at the university because I think our teacher wants to feel fine with himself.

I started learning English a day, I don't remember waht day was that, but it was or a wednesday or a friday, and I felt lost because it was my first time in this place, that is the west "Sede" of the Medicine Faculty of the University of Chile. Well, I met that day a teacher that was replacing our titular teacher because he was in England assisting a course, so it was a little bored, and I almost fell asleep. She would replace him 2 weeks, and after that English became more interesting and entertaining, because I find him funny. The activities we had to do were always made in pairs, and not always were entertaining. I remember that one of the first things we did was learn about body parts names in English, so, me at least studied for English for the first time in many time. After that I vaguely remember about doing medical English guides for a while and doing others posts.

Once, we had a visit from a researcher that talk to our goup and another one about something about a neuron regeneration protein, that could help in rehabilitation of patients with brain damage. We were supossed to have a test or something about that, but it never came. After that, more blogs and we started doing listening test as preparation for the final test. We recently did two test test for the final test, and too have an oral interaction test, that it went fine for me at least.

Ok people, wishing this being my last post in a while I say goodbay to you. Bye

Red Cross... AIDS?

Lately, there's been a subject I'd like to write of, but it's kinda a personal subject. It's the Red Cross.

It's a great place, you can learn a lot of thing, such as first aids, or HIV/AIDS and many others subjects. And of course you have the oportunity of knowing people from all the country, even other countries. For example, after the earthquake from 28 of febraury came people from Spain, Japan, U.S.A. and others countries, and for one of the capacitations I've gone, the speaker was from Republica Dominicana, and there were also people from Iquique, Chillan, Valparaiso and Traiguen (near from Temuco). That was a capacitation of JSP, or in english, Together We Can, that it's a thematic for teaching about HIV/AIDS, unwanted adolescent pregnancy and other STI to people from ages since 13 to 24 years old.


Well, now I'd like to talk you about this disease called AIDS: It's clear that it's a pandemic disease, and to 2008 there were 33.4 millon people living with the HIV, and 2 millon people living with HIV/AIDS died that year. And there's one thing that it's bothering me, and it's that since the 2004 there hasn't been published new numbers about AIDS in Chile. Also I'd like to dispell myth about AIDS. First: AIDS an HIV aren't the same; HIV is the "Human immunodeficiency virus" so it's a virus; and there is the AIDS, that is the " Acquired immune deficiency syndrome" so we could say that it's the illness. Second: the HIV/AIDS is not an illness that can be acquired by kissing nor hugging, sharing tableware, clothes, bathroom, workplace nor by giving blood. And third: Are a few thing about the virus that have to be said. The virus is present in body fluids like semen and preseminal fluid, vaginal fluid, maternal milk and, of course, the blood. The main ways of transmission are three: Sexual, parenteral and perinatal. The sexual way is, as its name says, for having sex, either heterosexual or homosexual sex. Moreover, by 2008 the 50% of the people infected in the worldwide were women. Parenteral way means by, mostly, sharing needles used by drug users. And perinatal way is from mother to son, either in pregnancy, delivery or brastfeeding.

Well with this I finish my post. Hope you like it and that you keep following me. Byee!!

Music?

Hi, how are you doing lately?

well today I'd like to talk you guys of music. Music is an artistic expression, whose medium is the sound, and for the ancient greek it was the "art of the muses". There are several genres of music, some of them very elaborated, and others as simple as the genre that is causing since a few years ago conmotion in the teenagers and even in some adults, that I have observated that are very moved for this music: Reggeaton.

Well, I think the music have to have a real message, one that move your heart as the Reggae, that is not one of my favorite genres, and have to be very well made, with some effort, preparation and talent, as some kinds of metal that are considered one of the most elaborated music and is for that that have thousand and millions of fans in the whole world.

Ok, ok, I'm not saying that the music I like is the best of the best, but I like music so much that I try to hear every time I can. Obviously I'm hearing now. My very favourite groups are Ska-P, The Offsrpring, Cobra Starship, Streetlight manifesto, and the genre that I like the most is Ska. Ska is a genre that arises in Jamaica, directly from jazz. The jamaican uses his radios to tune in the programation of the USA so they can barely catch up what was broadcasting the radio, at least that says the history. Some of the groups more representative of this genre was Gwen Stefani's "No Doubt", and other less known as "Sublime" and "Rancid", and of course "Ska-P", for those that are spanish speakers, is one of the most recognized in the world!.

well I think that is all, of course I went to the concert that gave Ska-P here in movistar arena last wednesday and it was terrific!. So... nothing else to say and I hope you enjoy, Bye!
