English 👩‍💻

At the beginning of my ''school life'', English wasn't important for my school, they literally give less than a half of an hour for the class so when I moved to another school my base was terrible I just knew how to say ''hello''. However, the subject never was difficult for me. In the pass of the years, I improve a lot thanks to the new school and personal goal.
Study this in the university may have some aspects that remains me the school subject of this. But also it has very big obvious differences. We get here with a certain level of knowledge, a base, we get to test our abilities here and also learn some of the basic that is fundamental in English, always there is a lack in some area. The grammar and the oral activities have helped me a lot, I think is because is a mix of a ''less formal English'', a one we use in communications of daily life. It gives us the instruments and the place to get better and better in this language. Also, the comparison tips between the kinds of English are very useful.
My personal lack is when I have to talk, I get so nervous, I mostly think that my pronunciation sucks and generally I get tangled with my tongue because I'm not a quick thinker so to answer to someone or to keep a conversation I'm so slow,  kind of sad story. When I went abroad, to the States, I can say that I understand everything or mostly everything that I hear but it was really hard to talk. I have to work it out, probably I will end up talking alone to practice pronunciation of different words, I want to make more conversations with my friends that are very good in English too. Also, I will keep watching series, movies in the language and videos for example from bloggers that are ''natives'', that hand the English in their way is like a form to practice.

About the blogs, I really liked to write them because I simply like ''to write'' and it gives the opportunity to do it and do it of different topics, we can't write something like that in any other subject here in the university. Is certain that some themes were kind of dull but that's the program and we couldn't do anything about it. In the end, all were like a little ''relief''.

The use of English in the day by day for me may be related with all the globalization present nowadays, we use it unconsciously in the social media, the internet is full of it too. Videos, series, music, movies, posts of different topics; one less important than others. I imagine that those are my kind of uses of English out of the class.

Some changes

Maybe I'm not the best to talk or not the person with the knowledge about some changes to do in the study programme of the career. I'm in first year after all, I will be realizing it little by little in the pass of the time because as a person we look back and think ''this could be done differently'' after we have done it. However always there are things to say.
At first sight, this faculty doesn't look as a ''greaaat thing'', it isn't bad. The classrooms or the ''indoors'' are equipped with the technology that could be need. For example in the laboratories (including the ones of private investigations), there are this new machines that helps with the processes in which they are needed; we can learn and at the same time the scientist are receiving what they need. They look quite ugly but it is their charm ...
In the classrooms there are televisions (which are never used), the projectors, air conditioning system ... Oh! for sure I would change the chairs, those are pretty old and uncomfortable.
By the other side I really think that the changes in the place are related with more places to study, to rest; more places with roof! There's a lot of people here, and the places are not enough.
We can't compare with the faculty of medicine in the other street.

Keeping outside in; ''the classes''. The use of technology goes hand in hand with the teaching methods, now the typical form to teach is by the use of the projector to show while the teacher is explaining the theme. Pretty basic but it works (I think), I really couldn't not think in another way more than the typical ''participation of the class by using the smartphones''.  Besides, the use of the platform ''U cursos'' is really a thing, like all it has pros and cons.

Being specific with a career in the faculty, Biochemistry is orientated to the ''investigations'' and the  curriculum is very attached to that, it gives the instruments to develop the abilities, it could offer more options too, expand it. Things i would change would be the ''requirements'' in some subjects because some are not necessary and it gets you stuck. I also know that the student center of the career are making changes in the same topic same as in the workload, they move some subjects (i really don't remember what were) to make the semesters more less ''heavier''.

A vision for some questions

I will give some ''opinions'', as the word means is a personal perception of the world, as long as it doesn't attack anyone.
If you ask me about ''what's your opinion about the legalization of abortion in the 3 cases?''  I will answer ''it was time, but it isn't enough''. Just in 2017 Chile get out of the list of 6 countries all around the world who still penalizes the abortion in every scenery. What can you tell me about it?
The 3 cases are: risks in the mother's life, infeasibility of the fetus and violation. Common sense: how can you not let a woman decide the way that her life is going to take as a product of those situations?
Actually is a relief that them can decide but what about the others?

About ''what is your opinion about buying instead of adopting pets?'' ... For me, more than a pet is like a family member, maybe unpopular opinion, but i will never buy a pet. There is a lot of animals in the streets, mostly cats and dogs. To adopt would mean to save it. To buy would mean support to those cruel ''breeding factories''; they ''produce'' animals like products.

In a very different matter but not least important, the climate change is a trending topic nowadays because the situation is critical and the fault relies with the human. The scientists of the ONU have talked about it, before the 2030 we need to reduce the emissions in a way to avoid the increasement of the temperature.
The mass media finally made some major difusion about it, late but at least they are doing it. Also the big companies, but is a really long path. The people in the world is also updated in the topic, there are who are taking it very seriously in  many ways for example now surfaces this new icon, the activist  Greta Thunberg (She's so cool). Like there are others who try to help as they can; recycling, reducing, reusing. Also the other part who don't take the weight to all of this or prefer to look to another side. Actually I think there is a lack of awareness. The effect is really happening and the consequences seem catastrophic for the humanity, the end is coming.
Recycling is one of the actions that all can do, is very easy, everyone can do it from the home because isn't a requirement to do it in a big scale. Is very important in the process i mentioned before. ''The change starts from home'', a lot of the smallest things can do a significant change.

There is so much information about it too, you just need to look into it.
