Evaluation the blogger experience

Hello everyone, on this occasion I am going to talk about my experience as a blogger.
I think that writing these blogs has helped me enough to improve my English, because I have to use other expressions, different from those normally used in Spanish.
In my opinion the topics of which we have to write, are very entertaining, what motivates me even more to write these blogs and improve my English. Also, many of the topics have made me think and reflect on things that i have never thought of, like "what is my favorite food?" Or "How green I am?", the truth is that particularly in the blog about the food I found it quite difficult to decide which was my favorite. The other blog It made me more aware about caring for the environment.
I believe that it has helped me to write more smoothly, at first it was very difficult, but now find me it a little easier. I also learned to create blogs and how to use the blogger page, sometime might be useful.
if I continue writing blogs, I would like to include other topics, for example "if you could change something in the world, what would?" Or "do you have any Hobby?" I don't know, it could be fun.

My favorite Subject this Semester

Hello to all, this time I'm going to talk about my favorite subject, of this semester, simulations. I really like this course, because it is the closest thing to care for patients we can do during this stage of learning. We have 3 teachers for this subject, Mondays, we're with Valeria Rojas, she is a specialist in biomaterials, Tuesdays are with Claudio Méndez, he is periodontist and removable prosthesis specialist, and Wednesday we are with Josefa Castro, that soon to be specialist in Endodontics. All of these teachers are very friendly, and after a year of working with them, I consider them somehow my friends, even with Mendez already we register ourselves to run the marathon of Santiago.
I have learned many things, in different area of dentistry, like for example shape in teeth and molars, to place a Crown upon them; Provisionals; to make scaling and root cleaning; to make all kinds of cavities and restore different caries lesions. I'm currently finishing Endodontics module, and hope to continue to learn much more.
Next year will begin to care for patients, and I have many expectations about what will be this experience, although I'm a little nervous, I continue to learn more things, to give the best possible care to my patients, such as Pharmacology and surgery. The truth is that I would like make an extraction, I am very eager to begin to care for patients

I had fun in simulations, talking to my peers (friends) of the preclinical board, but I got also stressed me slightly with surprise tests, I can definitely say that simulations is my favorite subject.

How Green Are You?

Hello everybody, this time I'm going to talk about how to take care of the environment, and my contribution to make it happen.
Since I was little, my parents I have taught to take care of the environment, through small actions that can make the difference for example, not littering in the street or natural places, caring for the water and electricity, teaching me to respect nature and recycling.
I have incorporated recycling in my life, but in a different way, instead of separate types of garbage, I try to produce the least amount of garbage as possible, since my house does not pass the truck of recycling, only the truck collecting garbage. As said it earlier, I try to produce the least amount of garbage as possible, I use returnable containers, reused my notebooks, I will buy with cloth bags and make organic fertilizer with shells of fruits and vegetables, for my plants.
I'd like to be able to move my bike, but my house is too far from the University, also gives me fear that I can be run over. I use the subway, the good thing about this is that it is electric and does not pollute. I like running, but I don't do it for move to some place, I do it for fun.
I have never joined any environmental organization, but I agree with everything related to caring for the environment. I have lately taken conscience about my carbon footprint and my family, and we are trying to reduce it to the maximum, avoiding consumerism and preferring local and season fruits and vegetables.
In my opinion, in Santiago and Chile, missing public policies and advertising campaigns that encourage care for the environment, since this is a problem that affects us all, and all are responsible for solving it.
Thanks for reading, anywhere you go, just let your footsteps (no waste).

My Future Job



Hello everyone, in this time I'm going to talk about the profession that will work in the future, I mean to be dentist. It is a work in the area of health, specifically about oral health, the most important of this profession is give back the smile to the people, through restorative treatments, dentures and oral hygiene education. However, for me the most important thing is prevention and the promotion of good oral health habits.
This work is carried out in a sort of office, specifically in a dental box, contrary to what one might think, dentists working in different places, personally I would like to work in a private clinic, in public service and have my own dental practice in Pichilemu (everything at once), thats what I think now, perhaps in a few years more I change my opinion and work in other regions or in another country. Also I thought of joining the armed forces, be an official and working as a dentist, but that is a different story.
At the moment I am studying to become a dentist, in 4 years more I will graduate. In the future I'd like to specialise in orthodontics or implantology, since seem me incredible positive changes that they can have on people, as I said earlier, what I like about this profession is to return the smile to the people.

Practice!

Unit 4. Facing Problems (UNIT 18) ↓

1.-What environmental problems does your country have?

I think that like in Britain, here in Chile waste is a problem that affects us all, and the best solution is recycling.

2.-9/11
3.-61/68

Unit 5. Financial matters (UNIT 19) ↓

1.-Your Results: You Have a Firm Grip on Your Wallet.
2.-Read this text giving you 10 tips to save money. What’s your opinion about them? Rank them from 1 to 10 in terms of its effectiveness.

10. Learn to Do It Yourself.
9.Reduce electric expenses.
5.Plan a weekly menu and stick to it.
1.Cook all food from scratch.
4.Shop for sale items at the grocery store.
2.Shop clearance sales.
8.Plan ahead for seasonal gift giving.
6.Bringing a calculator along helps me curb expenses.
3.Double check those medical bills.
7.Borrow instead of buy.

I think doing things myself , for ejemlo paint my house or cooking, saves me a lot of money , like taking care of electricity.
Order books also provided an excellent way to save money, but personally I prefer to buy my favorite books and keep them for my collection

3.-23/30
4.-4/6

Compulsive spenders are people who buy many things, which even do not need. We believe that this can be problem for his family's budget, if it is that these people do not have enough money to keep these expenses. These unnecessary purchases are due mostly to the abundant publicity and lack of self-control of this persons.

The most common problems who the dentist have in their career are the high prices of the the high prices in the treatments to our patients and the materials we have to buy, problems about the ergonomy, because back injuries are very common, other problems have relationships with the patients, for example, angry patients in the consult probably cause uncomfortable situations or others, don't adhere to the treatments.

Summer plans :)



Hello to all, this time I'm going to tell you about what I will do this summer. Like every year, I will go to Pichilemu with my family, I will be with my parents, grandparents, cousins and uncles, all have House there and live close by, so I always see them and go out together. In addition I will invite my friends from childhood to my house in Pichilemu, for a week.

This summer, I mainly dedicate to sports, I will practice surf and I will train for the marathon of Santiago. I really enjoy physical activity, but in the year I have many difficulties for this, since I have little spare time due to the University. I also plan to go fishing and camping, every year going to fish, but I've never camped out, this summer I plan to do so, go to a Lake near Pichilemu, camping for a couple of days and fishing, cooking the fish and make roast, this lake is not a tourist site or established campsite, so that the experience and contact with nature will be true.

During the summer, I plan not to work or study, I have saved some money during the year, so I don't need to work, also have studied all year, so the summer would be the time to relax and stop studying for a time, maybe I take a course of driving and get license, but currently is not a priority for me.

What are your plans for the summer?

PET (Preliminary English Test) Practice

The most difficult skill for me is the listennig.

The task proved more difficult to achieve for me, was the listenning, because is most difficult understand oral sentences in english that written sentences, I think that with more practice could improve a little this skill.

Activity which I find easier was the Reading, because I already handling certain english vocabulary and sentences written, I understand a little better, because I have more time to think and respond, that in the listenning activity.
