Blog 10: Evaluation of our blogging experience

Okay, so this is my last blog in English III and this is about what was my experience about blogging. First, I think that this activity was interesting, and it was good to practice how to write in English. In school we didn’t practice English like this, we used to do controls or test and that only made us exercise our memory. With blogs we can think about what we are going to write and how to write that, and we can correct the words when it’s something wrong in it. I like this activity because I used to write, but I didn’t do it years ago, and the blogs makes me feel nostalgic like when I used to write. Well, I think that I’m going to use blogs again in English IV (I think) and I will be able to understand what I’m writing, because this experience gives me more skills to understand English, and of course I can practice my English with this. Finally, I would like to talk about functional foods, transgenic food, things that make our classmates think about other things. I th...

Blog 9: Favourite genre/musician

Imagen
Okay, now I’m going to talk about my favorite genre or musician. I think five or four years ago I met the genre “alternative” or “indie”. I like this genre because it has too many bands or musicians in there that have so good songs and we don’t know about that songs, so I like because it’s like a new world for me discover new musicians and bands. I listened Radiohead for first time five years ago, so I think that band it’s my favorite. I think that it’s my favorite because the music that they make is very melodic and they aren’t afraid to experiment new rhythms, instruments, musicians, melodies, and other things that now I don’t remember.  I like because it’s not like “too much” for their music, I mean “less is more” and I apply that in music too. When I listen a song that it’s repetitive or I listened the rhythm in another song, I don’t like so much, but when I listen songs like Weird Fishes from Radiohead, I don’t know, I like so much the melody and the instr...

Blog 8: A subject I enjoy studying this semester

I used to study another program before this one. In 2016 I was studying Industrial Design, so I think that I can’t talk about just one subject that I enjoined in my life as university student, so here we go. In 2016 we used to have one subject called “Digital technical representation I”, that was my favorite one. I used to use a program called “AutoCAD” where we made many structures in 3D, we used it to make some blueprints and many other things that we had to cut in a laser cutter. I deserted in the second semester, but it was worth it. Now, I’m in my third semester of food engineering and now my favorite subject is Calculus II. This is funny because in my second semester I reprobated that subject and now I’m approving, I think. In that subject we calculate many things, derivatives, integrals, affine approach and many other things. it’s difficult to me because I never thought that I was going to study an engineering, and was hard to me, because when I was in school math wa...

Blog 7: Career-Related Website/ An expert on your field

Imagen
Well, i don't know another food engineer than my father, so i'm going to write about a career-related website that i discovered recently doing a related homework. This is a website that everyone can use  to search studies related in their areas, but this website helps me a lot. The link is: https://scielo.conicyt.cl The website is very easy to use. You can search articles, scientific journals and reports about too many studies that scientist from all over the world did on a specific topic. These may be in alphabetic order or the specific topic, or you can search by title of the article, journal or report. I use this website just when i do homework related to my career. I like this site because it helps me too much when i need an artcle or report, and it haves too many reports, and i can say that a lot of the information i use in homeworks i take out from there. And it has a link to automatically quote an article. That is why i like this website when i need to searc...

Blog 6: Favourite series or movie

Imagen
Well, i don't have a favourite movie because all my life i've seen very good movies, and every new movie that premieres, for me, it's good. It's the same with series, i don't remember what was my "favourite" serie in my life. But, when i was 16, i went to the cinema to watch "Interestellar".  I'm in love with that movie, even now when i'm in university. That movie made me belive much more in science and gave me another perspective of many things in physics. The director of this movie was Cristopher Nolan. The main characters were Matthew McConaughey as Joseph Cooper; Anne Hathaway as Amelia Brand; Mackenzie Foy, Jessica Chastain and Ellen Burstyn as Murph; and Michael Caine as Professor Brand. This movie is about a group of explorers that discover a wormhole recently and they use it to overcome the limitations about space travels and conquer distances related to interestellar travels, and they want to use this wormhole to c...

Blog 5: Favourite photograph

Imagen
I like photographs, but I don't know so many photographers, so I don't think that I can choose a picture, but i like the pictures about nature or relaxing places. I like to take photos, and I take photos with my smartphone because I don't have a professional camera. In the future I would like to buy a Nikon or a Canon, but now I like my smartphone camera. I like this photo because it's about my little pet, Kira. I took this photo in May of this year (2018) and it was hard to take because my pet doesn't like that people takes photos of her, she hides in her house or she runs to another place of the yard. I like it because Kira has a problematic past before I adopted her. She was in a place where people beat her and she developed fear of people. Later I adopted her and now she is a happy pet, I think. She plays a lot with me and with my nephew.

Blog 4: Pets

Imagen
Well, today I’m going to talk about all the pets that I’ve had in my house. Until now, we’ve had 2 dogs, 4 birds, 3 guinea pigs and 1 Chinese hamster. I guess they are all. So, my first pet was a German shepherd, we call him “Rocky”. He was so much lovely and cute with us, he liked to play all days and he likes to annoy my mother when she was going to water plants or something. Rocky lived 13 years with us, he passed away in November of 2017. Well, besides my dog, we bought 2 canaries and 2 Australian budges. They sang a lot, every day and every hour, but the cats of our neighbors made their job. However, they lived in my house like 3 years. The first guinea pig came in 2010 I guess, we called her “Clarita”. Sadly, she was sick when we bought her, and no one vet told us anything. So, she passed away the same year. In 2011, my young sister bought another guinea pig. We called him “Pepe”. He was very playful, and he was also very sociable. I liked him because he was a...
