English Language Challenge p10

English 4 was the first exprience I had for learning this language at university. Using blogs I practiced a lot the written part and imagined very strange and funny situations. Neverthless, I would have liked to have more speaking practice sessions, I think this is the quickest and best way to learn language, at least to me.

I really need to improve my written english, in any time maybe I get a certification aside from what we get in this course. Despite that, I prefer to start with the speaking interaction, because I use that much more than the written way. Even if I think it more carefull, I comunicate a lot by text with a few friends that are english-speaking, maybe I do use a lot the written english part. Also, when I travel or even in Chile, knowing english let me meet so much more people than only if I were an speaking spanish person.

So I'm an enthusiasm student, I came almost every monday and have fun and laugh a lot with Camilo and Juan in a few spoken practice. I would have liked to take more advantage of that classes, answering the work guide with the all class or making some kind of roleplay! I think that would be fun, you can have fun and learn too. 

Despite that, Claudio was always a very nice teacher with us and have a lot of patience. I learned a lot in this couse and have fun with my old classmates and met some new people of facso. I hope you all have had fun too and we'll met each other in another time! Thanks for reading and happy end of semestre!

ch ch ch changes p9

Hello everyone, this time I have to talk about some changes I could make in my study program. First of all, I consider that the work load is excessive, considering that the quality of the education that they give us in the school is very bad, when you enter the university there are a lot of things to do, and worst of all, is that you do not know how to do them! I think that generates a lot of tension and frustration, so it would lessen the academic load that is in the first year.

With regard to the duration of the studies, I think I can't say much about it, but what I do think is that the practice should be much earlier, because when you arrive at the fourth year  many people had the feeling of not having an idea of ​​what exactly they know and what to do with that knoledge. I believe that advancing the practice or having a prior approach, for example at the beginning of the third year to what the psychologists in each area actually do, could help many to orientate themselves vocationally.

Now in the Uni they have built the aularios and thanks to that we have classes in bigger rooms, but the first years sometimes we didn't fit in the room because there were so many people (120 people per generation).

There are branches that would rightly take them out, but that would be very authoritarian on my part, besides, psychology is such an extensive area that I think there is room for the different knowledge that emerges in it, but I would try to relate them more to each other, through of interdisciplinary branches or inter areas of psychology.

Summer holiday planssss yeah yeah p8

It's so exciting to write about my summer holidays, because this summer I'm going to visit a place I've always wanted to go, wich is the north of Chile, and I'll do it with my dear and friend Nicolas.

I've always loved the north of Chile, specially the desert of Atacama. I have croosed it before when 

I went to Bolivia, in a bus, but in my dreams always imagine myself in the middle of the desert, looking to the big dome and the millions of stars hanging of it. 

The desert always makes me feel so small, fragile and mystic. And this time, I have the great oppotunitie of meeting it with my friend, hope we can visit San Pedro de Atacama, specially ride in a bycicle to the Moon's Valley. Later, get a relaxing bath in Puritama Termal Bath and drink copao sour, just for start.

Then, we can visit the Atacama Lagoons, a real oasis in the middle of the desert, part of the big Natural Reserve called Los Flamencos. Both of them (Miscanti and Miñique) are located at more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and they are fed by water sources that come from the surface of the earth, attract a large group of animals, like the abundance of flamingos 💖 (I love flamingos).

The visit to the Tatío geysers is obligated, there, early in the morning you can see steam fumaroles produced by the high temperatures of its watery crater, it's incredibleeeeee!

Currently I'm learing to climb, so I hove I can do that too, if it's no too much expensive. Maybe this week I win the Kino and I can invite all my english classmates and teacher to the journey ;) hope you guys do the same if you became rich one day.

This is a picture and a paint maded by a classmate of psychology, you can find her in Facebook as Catalisa and buy her this beautiful postals <3 the is the best

Post graduate studies ok no. p6

If I went back to study something (and if it is in a university) it would be something completely different: I would like to learn about nature. Learn about the native flora and fauna of our country so diverse. I would love to familiarize myself with the names of the different plants, birds, trees, flowers and animals that live and feel around me, with which I get on a daily basis when I walk to the subway, which exist on campus.

Once a lady told me: who doesn't know, don't see. And damn it, she was right.

Chiricoca

How much wealth surrounds us and we don't know it. Did ever your school took you to know one of the many hills that surround Santiago? Do you know the name of the bird that you always hear singing? Or how long does it take to grow a tomato?

We live in a country prone to environmental disasters, and we know how to survive in nature? If school is supposed to prepare us for life, why do not we learn any of that in schools or even in the university?

Our ignorance of our surroundings makes us look, but we do not see. Maybe, if we knew which tree grows outside our house, how much it lives, its cycles, whether it bears fruit or not, we would have more respect and we would value more the place where we live. We would fight harder to take care of our few green spaces (especially in the sectors that do not belong to the eastern area of ​​Santiago) and we would have more respect for what grows around us.

I know that this is difficult to achieve in a society where everything comes ready to consume, in which it has been absurd to sell everything in multiple plastic bags, that we have no idea what we are feeding, but there are days in the I wake up and I have faith that this situation can improve.

Quirquincho peludo patagónico jjjjj

How? Through education of course, but beyond the typical poor recycling attempt, but creating gardens, involving children in research on climate change, educating about our hundreds of rivers, forests, volcanoes, flora, fauna! Ahhh, there is so much to learn! Well, it does not make sense to devote a couple of days to the environment if we see daily how companies destroy nature. The change has to be now!

Hammocks 👌 p7

Today I am going to write about a subject that seems to me very important, transcendental and fundamental in the life of every human being who loves good sleep: hammocks 🙌.



If you've ever been lucky enough to run into one, you'll probably know what I'm talking about. I tried my first hammock a couple of years ago, in the south, near Temuco, a family made an artisanal way, and I was lucky to sleep a few naps in it, under the shade of big trees and the shelter of the gentle breeze in the afternoon.

However, my true experience with the hammocks was this summer. I was fortunate to travel for two months in a beautiful land, where sleeping in a hammock was more than a relaxing activity and dedicated to rest, as the hammocks were used to sleep. This beautiful land called Colombia, has diverse communities and towns in which the use of hammocks goes back to its indigenous peoples, who saw in the hammock a representation of the maternal womb. The position that the body adopts when resting in a hammock is similar to that of the fetus inside the uterus, hence for some communities it was a symbolic act to weave your own hammock.

Its use is very popular, especially in the regions closest to the Caribbean, because the proximity to the jungle was counterproductive with the use of a bed made on the floor, by the imminent danger to the attack of snakes and bugs. In addition, the hammock can be large enough to cover the entire person and create a kind of cocoon, which protects against flies and mosquitoes, carriers of various diseases. So when you go to visit a friend, they offer you some hammocks hooks, so you can hang up there your own hammock (the lightest and technological weigh less than 1 kilo), some lodgment has hammocks instead beds, and if you're a traveler (bag traveler) you can hang it up between two trees and you don't have to pay for lodgment jiji.

The first time I laid on one I had walked for several hours, and I woke up the next day with more than recovered sleep! So at the end of my trip I bought one and I brought it to Chile, and I installed it in my house, bringing with it all those good memories :) I love it.

my future job p5

I imagine my laboral future not with a lot of certance, the truth is that I can't imagine something that I would like to do my whole life or during a long time. It's a little bit difficult to me. Maybe if I think it deeply, I can tell you some things that I imagine about what I would like to do with my "laboral" life. 

I would like to have a job that allows me to travel around the whole world, so I can be at any part of the world if I want it. Working online or maybe in some organization that requires my continuous movement from one place to another, would be a dream come true. I'm from a family of people that love to be traveling, in fact, one of my two sister it's currently living in Dortmund, Germany and she used to work in a hospital in Chile. Now she is a german and english student, and a year ago that idea would be the maddest thing we've ever imagine that would happen to one of us. 

About the salary, I guess I would be happy with enough to manteinence myself, be independent and get what I ever get to need. 

I'm not thinkg in taking a major now, because I had a lot of time studing in university and all I want is to get out soon, travel some time and maybe then, I'll make one. But anything could happen, never knows!

❤ Environmental psychology ❤ p4

I'm not very excited to talk about my career. Not because I don't like it, but because I think the subject is too broad and difficult to pose in English, because there are many concepts that I don't know how they are written since the translation is not literal. So I'll talk about what recently called my attention, which is environmental psychology.

This area is relatively new in psychology, and has recently gained momentum due to climate change and the need to understand the mutual interaction between individuals and the environment, how they understand it and how they relate to it. Therefore, it is an area that takes knowledge of social psychology, as well as community psychology and other areas of interest, outside the field of psychology. And firmly supports an interdisciplinary approach to the problem, understanding that most of problems that afflict us as a society must be approached from all knowledge, and not only from some.



Although in its beginnings it was oriented to study the environmental groups, today its investigations cover diverse thematic ones. For example, given the overwhelming scientific evidence on climate change, how is it possible that in the United States someone who denies their existence is openly elected as president?, Why do people continue to deny the existence of this phenomenon (climatic change)?, Why individuals do not change their lifestyles to mitigate their effects? What motivates some people to care about the environment?, etc.
