My experience learning english.

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about my experience learning english.

My experience in English at the university was very entertaining, when I was little and I had my first English classes the teachers they were screaming and that scared me but once I got to university that fear was overcome because my teachers took care of I wear a lot of patience and affection. With respect to blogs I always liked to write a lot because is wonderfull share my experiences with the rest of the world and also learn from the rest of my classmates and friends.

During this time I feel that I learned a lot, now I am able to read texts about my university career and understand the content, even so I feel that I still have a lot to learn and that I still have things that cost me, for example, to talk or listen to audios engravings.  With regard to my future, I plan to take a english course to perfect myself and someday be able to go to other countries where it is spoken

English to continue learning about trees and plants (Forestry Engineering). 

I never liked to think that English was the universal language and that for this reason I had to learn it (since the scientific articles more important that it is in English) because it made me feel that my native language was losing importance, but with the passage of time I am realized that it was important because it is a form of communication and is present in our life, for example in films, texts, even walking down the street you can find a person who needs help and only understands this language.

Many kisses for my followers, see you someday..

The changes that could be made to my study programme.

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about The changes that could be made to my study programme.

My career is called Forestry Engineering and is characterized by the others because every year we have practical in the summer, the practices are great, you learn a lot but the big problem is that the things that we do there are things that teach us the following year so the contents are not compatible.

I think that 5 years of career is good to learn all about the vegetation, the problem is the extensive periods of classes of each day, and the distribution of the calendar very irregular way since there are days too many exhausting.

One of the things I love about this faculty are its facilities, for me I think it does not generate problems above all I like Arauco Pavilion because "Tío Antonio" cares about keeping the rooms cool in summer and hot in winter, it really is wonderful! but when we have classes in the agronomy rooms is very sad because in winter they are very cold and only some of them have heating, in summer it is good because the rooms are very fresh.

Finally I say that the technology of the university is good, we can borrow computers just showing our TUI card in addition to access to a laboratory and measurement tools in our practices, with respect to teachers I think some should be more objective in their evaluations because we study many and they give us bad marks for not answering what they want.

My Experience Making The Herbarium

Hello to my followers today I will tell you my experience making the herbarium.

The herbarium is an activity carried out by the first year student of Forestry Engineering of the University of Chile and consists of collecting vegetation samples (ideally 20 native and 10 exotic) and pressing them to make them into file, added to this must be added the coordinates of the place, the person who found and recognized the sample, the scientific name and the family of said tree.

I prefer to say that my experience was quite great, I spend very well looking for species in hills and parks but I must admit that as time went by and less was left for the delivery of the herbarium I was very stressed, I thought I would not finish it and I would get a bad mark.

The places that visited were the hill "La Punta", the nursery of Graneros, the Cajón del Maipo, squares and houses of neighbors. Generally I went out with my family to look for species since as I live in another region my classmates were far away to go out as a group to collect.

In doing my herbarium take me about 7 months because I took care of having species that bloomed at different times of the year (autumn, winter and spring). I really enjoyed doing my herbarium, thanks to that I learned a lot about plants.

Many kisses for my followers, see you next week.

My Postgraduate Studies

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about my Postgraduate Studies.

As I said in previous blogs the reason for studying forest engineering is because I really like ornithology (the study of birds).

I still do not know very well that postgraduates are related to birds but I have decided that this is my choice.

I chose this option because I feel a commitment to the birds, since always wanted to take care of them and protect them, and I think this is the right way to help these animals with feathers. The topics that I would like to study within my subject of postgraduate degree would relate mainly to questions.

What are birds, what is the relationship of birds and humans, how to conserve the habitat of birds, etc. I think with this knowledge

you can generate awareness in people.

I would like to take this course in Chile, specifically at the University of Chile, with classroom classes and outings to learn from the

native animals of my country and do studies related to them. In the not too distant future I want to belong to the Union of Ornithologists of Chile and fulfill my dream of following the steps of my example to follow: Professor Cristián Estades.

Many kisses for my followers, see you next week.

My Future Job

Hello to my followers today I will tell you my future work.

In the future I am working on something related to my career: Forestry Engineering. I would like to work in the agricultural and livestock service (SAG), specifically in the area related to birds, I want to work on related projects the conservation of birds and generate awareness in people to take care of them and learn to live with them.

As for my work I would like to travel as much as possible to know the largest number of birds and thus expand my knowledge in this area regardless of whether you are in or out of Chile, so I think my salary should be relatively high to pay for travel expenses, since not everything will be for work, many of these trips will be learning more.

To comply with all of the above I must finish my degree in Forestry Engineering first, I would like to study higher studies related to forestry, but above all in the habitat of birds and their way of life. More than knowing the anatomy of the birds I want to know about your house.

As an interesting fact I would like to save the Arica hummingbird because it is in danger of extinction.

Many kisses for my followers, see you next week.

Independence Day of Chile

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about the Independence Day
this day is celebrated every year on September 18  where the first national government meeting took place and is recognized as one of the first events that finally achieved the independence of Chile.
My family and I are of Chilean nationality for what we celebrate this day, we usually visit on different days my grandparents, one day my grandparents paternos and another day my maternal grandparents, we like to do things like empanadas, roasts, salad Chilean, dance Cueca, it's funny because every year I have to teach Cueca because my family forget how to dance. I do not like going to the fondas, it's a place I hate a lot I think it's because my mother always spoke badly about them besides that there are a lot of people who are drunk.
This September 18 for me was different because for the first time I went to the parade of my city, I was very happy because they honored my brother because he decided to do his thesis of magister based on the hill that is here in Graneros collaborating with the patrimony of this city.
Lots of kisses for my followers, see you next week.

My Favorite Food

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about the My Favorite Food.

This is puree with meat, I really love this food dish especially the one prepared by my mother because she cooks with a lot of love for us as well as she knows it is my favorite dish always prepares it on important days so it is still more special (not something I usually eat). A long time ago my mother taught me to cook this and other dishes so that I can continue with the tradition, although we like to grind the potatoes accompanied with pumpkin, it is like our own style. Puree with meat is a dish from America, this is due to the simple fact that the potato comes from this place.

I usually prefer junk food but after consuming so much fat my body asks me to eat something healthy to take stock, it is a sin that junk food is so delicious. I also prefer sweet food because for some reason it makes me feel happy its good taste...

My First Concert

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about the first and best concert I've ever been.
It happened on Sunday July 26, 2015 at the Chimkowe Center, this day was the Anime Friend Chile event where the main attraction was a concert performed by the Japanese J-Rock group called "Flow" (known for sing openings of anime). I always dream of listening to them in person and that better than doing it in an event that combined my tastes for the anime and the Asian music. What I experienced that day is inexplicable, there were many people disguised as their favorite characters, contests, karaokes, stand to buy anime accessories, etc. The atmosphere was a lot of happiness and expectation for Flow that later would eat on the scene.
At about 8 pm he began his show,i sang so loudly his songs that I lost my voice, took many photos and record videos to have the best memories of my life. If they ever returned to Chile, I would definitely go and see them again.
Lots of kisses for my followers, see you next week.

A place I would like to visit

Hello to my followers today I will tell you about Japan, the country that I would like to meet in the not too distant future ...
I chose this place because I like its culture and history, in addition they are a society very advanced in technology but mainly I want to visit this place because it is the country of the anime. I really do not want to live there because I am used to my western culture and Spanish language but I want to go on a trip for a couple of weeks to buy many anime accessories, visit Akihabara city and Mount Fuji.
What I know about Japan is that they are very believers of the forest spirits (guardians of nature) and of the yokai (creatures half human, half animals that according to mythology often change their form to behave like humans and thus live in their settlements) these spirits are so important that they build temples in their honor.

My Blog Experience

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about my blog experience.

Before I start, I must tell you that this will be my last blog, I hope you had fun with my stories, I had a lot of fun writing for you.

My experience was very good, the topics chosen were always of my interest and when these were free was much more exciting because it allowed me to talk about what I liked and this made me better known by my followers

My favorite blog was my favorite photo because that photo keeps one of the best moments with my friends in my university career. (What was your favorite blog?)

In general I never liked English but this year everything was different because this blog made me change my mind because I feel that the language barriers were broken and I had the opportunity to be known by people from other countries, all those fears of talking others Languages were overcome. I am so grateful to have had this experience.

The time has come for the goodbye, I can only wish the best to my followers, I hope someday have the opportunity to write blogs and share their experiences with the rest.

Lots of kisses for my followers, See you one day...

Hummingbird by Juan Fernandez

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about Hummingbird by Juan Fernandez.

The Hummingbird by Juan Fernandez or Sephanoides fernandensis is an endemic bird of Chile. According to the last censuses carried out in 2005 this cataloged in danger of extension since it is estimated that if population varies between the 2500 and 3000 birds. From the year 2016 it was declared Natural Monument of Chile.

This bird is very small, the male is 12 centimeters long and weighs 11 grams. His feathers are orange and his wings are gray. In the case of the female measures 10 centimeters in length and weighs 7 grams. Their feathers are mainly white, green and blue. The phenomenon mentioned above is known as sexual dimorphism which is the variation in physiognomy between male and female.

The species inhabits wooded areas, bushes and gardens, in summer it is possible to see the male flying near the only village of the island feeding on the nectar of the Dendroseris.

I chose this animal because I really like the native fauna of Chile and I think we must protect this bird because it is in serious danger of extinction due to the destruction of the native flora from which it feeds.

Austrocedrus chilensis

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about my favourite tree, this is Austrocedrus chilensis...

Austrocedrus chilensis better known as "Cypress of the Cordillera" is a tree belonging to the family of Cupresáceas that develops exclusively in the South of Argentina and the Center-South of Chile.

The cypress is characterized by its slow growth but with good regeneration, under natural conditions its plantation is successful under tree cover that protects it from stress due to water deficit. Individuals can reach 30 meters in height, their leaves are small, opposite and scummy. The opening of their cones usually occurs in October, the seed dispersal occurs between January and March. This species is characterized by its good natural regeneration as its seeds germinate easily.

The color, design of its wood makes it very attractive in the markets for the construction of furniture and houses, also due to its shape and resistance to rot is used to make poles for electricity.

I chose this tree because I like its architecture and how it regenerates, besides near my house there is a reserve of this species called "Reserve the Cypresses" in which you can see several specimens living in harmony with their environment.

Lots of kisses for my followers, see you next week.

Charles Darwin

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about Charles Darwin
Darwin was a British naturalist who was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England and died on April 19, 1882. This man became famous for his biological studies being the most recognized discovery of the origin of species.
In 1831, at the age of 22, Darwin began his long journey around the world aboard the Beagle. The reason for this trip was an exploration of the different continents and the study of the life that inhabited these places.
After traveling many areas, finally the 23 of July of 1834 the expedition arrives at Chile where its studies focused mainly in the Mountain range of the Andes.
In 1859 he published a work called "Origin of the Species" where he affirms that the present life descends of a common ancestor and by natural selection evolved to the organism that is today. Natural selection is a process in which a species adapts to its environment, the best adapted individuals have a high survival rate and their genetic characteristics go from generation to generation.
Darwin is thus related to forestry engineering because his theory of the origin of the species explains how the trees have evolved to adapt to their surroundings, as well as to help in the realization of the taxonomic trees that group the species according to their genetic similarities.

Ranma 1/2

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about Ranma 1/2...

What is Ranma 1/2? It is an anime series created by Rumiko Takahashi and was broadcast on television from 1989 to 1992.

The story is about Ranma Saotome, a 16-year-old who likes martial arts, but one day during his training he fell into an enchanted pool where a woman with red hair had been drowned for many years ago. After this accident Ranma suffered a curse and every time it is wet with cold water it becomes woman, in turn when it comes in contact with hot water it returns to be man. Throughout the series, this young man tries to get rid of this curse at the same time that it must deal with the commitment of marriage with Akane Tendo that their respective parents agreed in the past.

I chose this anime because it reminds me of my childhood, this series I really like because it is entertaining and has a lot of comedy, in addition the characters are very cute and funny. O///-///O

A Photograph :D

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about my favourite photograph. In this photo I meet my group of friends and were taken with the timer of my cell phone, everything happened on April 26, 2017 when we had a study trip to Doñihue for the subject of Structure and Functioning of Escosystems. The place was called Cerqui Poqui and there was a big sclerophyll forest where we had to do various analyzes to the trees and the soil. My group was composed by Juan, Catalina, Bastian, Valentina, Bianca and Diego (I am the one on the floor), that day we found many lizards and saw a snake, we had a good time, we laughed a lot and worked as a Team, Time we went to walk around the place where we took many photographs to remember the moment.

I chose this photo because it is very beautiful, it represents our friendship and we see the whole landscape in the background, although we take many photos, I think this is the most fun and natural. It was definitely a great day....

My Love: Ornithology

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about Ornithology....

¿What is Ornithology? Is the study of birds and the birds are animals  that can walk, jump and fly, have feathers, four fingers on their paws, beaks, wings, can lay eggs and feed seeds, fruits and plants. They like to sing and live in the trees where they make their nest. This science cares about the evolution, conservation and description of birds. Some example of studies are: Food, size, nest , migrations, etc. These data are obtained by catching birds (will be freed later) and photographs.

the birds transport the pollen of some flowers so that these plants can reproduce and disperse the seeds to grow in different places and expand their distribution, they are also a food for the human because we eat their meat and eggs, this keeps the ecosystem in balance.

Finally  I chose this topic because I like birds, they're my favorite animal, and I believe we must protect them in order to don't make them extinguish.....

  Lots of kisses for my followers, see you next week.

My Favourite Piece Of Technology.

Hello my followers,  I will tell you today about my favourite piece of technology, this is my cell phone. I use my cell phone to make calls and communicate long distance,  also to take photos and chat with my friends. 

 I like my Mobile phone because I love taking pictures of animals and nature, capturing the best moments with my friends and family, I also use it to communicate with my parents when I go on study trips, to know how they are and tell you about my adventures.

In 1917, the Finnish inventor Eric Tigerstedt presented the first cell phone, these were characterized by being wireless and very large, years later in 1973 the company Motorola presents the current phone. These phones have a large screen, have a camera to take photos, a headset that emits sounds and a microphone that picks up the voice, there are all sizes and colors. Although mainly people use cell phones to call these present various functions such as GPS, take pictures, searches on the internet, entertainment, etc.

My Expectations For a New Semester

Hello my followers, I will tell you today about my expectations for a new semester, as I mentioned earlier I study forestry engineering in the University of Chile and my subject this semester is: English, Statistics, Growth and development of trees, Structure and functioning of ecosystems, Forest products and services and math. Of all these subjects my favorite is Structure and functioning of ecosystems because talks about nature and its interactions with humans, this is very entertaining.

With regard to extra activities I would like to participate in sports but I dont have free time because I spend a lot of time traveling home...

My university is wonderfull, I like because this place has many green areas, is spacious and has a farm with many animals but, on the other hand the university is far from my house, Is in a dangerous place and I dont have free time.

For this semester I hope to pass all my subjects but mainly learn a lot about nature and animals...

  Lots of kisses for my followers, see you next week.
