My experiencie learning english..

Today the english is language most used on the world. Is very important because all instructions, new information and other from european countries in that the language is english, so necessarily we need learn it. Also we’ll be a health professionals and everyday be new research, information of medicines, diseases, treatments and all this information is in other language, or we can to trip to other places in that maybe the English is not the official language, but always exist a person who talk it, and is the only form for to communicated.

When I entered to university, we was the first generation with new curriculum and it had english course. English course have fourth “stages”: started, beginner, pre-intermediate and intermediate, but not all people must to do all the course. In the first semester, teacher make us a test. This consisted in a questions , grammar excersices, etc and also in a listening quiz. Unfortunately for me, times pass very fast and I didn’t test with “consciousness” because I was so nervous , I thinked “I don’t can all!!”.. and was true. When I was the results I was very surprised because I stayed in “started” and honesty I felt that I would be in a more advanced level. Still I think that thar test not measured the real english’s level. However, in my fourths english’s courses I didn’t learn new grammar, but I refreshed and improved it. Also I learn new vocabulary, this is very important because the vocabuly is relationated with my career, of this way is more easy form me understand english paper or information that I need form my studies. This is very beneficial to the development of students, but I think that the times is very little for all activities, works that we must to do, and very times we went to enflish class very tired and sleppy, overcoat when tha class start at 16.30 pm!! I loved Thursday because english class started at 14.30 and also loved the post session, because is very close to us, more “newfangled”.

For this reason is very important that we learn english and improved it. In the future english will be more crowded and is necessary that we have the ability for to speak it, read it, write it, that is to say: dominated it. One important aspect is that new medicine material is in english, so like health work and students, we need to learn and be informated. Is good, that we have enflish course because Is never over, for to improved our english language and of this way open more opportunities.



And.. for me is very important lear english because my dream is travel to England

Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind

Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about one of my favorites movies: “Eternal Sunshine of Spotless Mind”

This movie, is starring for Jim Carrey (is one of a few movies in that he don't act in a comedy) and Kate Winslet ( she worked in Titanic). The history is about Joel (Jim carrey) who is a solitary men and one day he meet on the train station to Clementine (Kate Winslet) who is a impulsive woman, the joel opposite. But this is not the really actual in the story , because they met before and had a relationship, but they broke up, and Clementine decided forget to Joel and went to “Lacuna Inc”, place in where erases memories of people. When Joel knew about this, he decided to take revenge and do it the same!

This movie is complicated, because events are not in chronological order.. is so confused, but very interesting.

I love it! Because sometimes I think.. I want to erase my memories!! When I have a problem or something, for example for to overcome the pain of a death, loss of a loved one or something that causes us great pain, "Lacuna Inc" appears to be an easy way out of trouble. ..But, the movie shows.. you “can” erase your memories, but you dont can change your destiny. In adittion, clearly this is not the best way for to solve problems. Well, I saw it many times.. because I like romantic films, specially this because is so crazy!

Many questions come to me .. if there Lacuna Inc, would you go to erase any memories?

Think it! D:

Our.. special? brain


Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about “Dr. Pedro Maldonado’s talk”

Before of Dr. Maldonado’s presentation, I believed a lot of myths about the brain, for example I thought that the brain is similar to computer or that brain assimilates reality, but now I think that I was so wrong!

Honesty, I always thought that humans have a more developed brain. But I never stopped for to think that in reality, the composition of our brain in comparation of other species is the same, but are different sizes. Now I think that each species has a brain and uses it according to its needs, after all what matters is to survive, right? Hahaha

I was surprised to realize that the brain does not perceive reality as it is, it can be fooled (for example, not realizing that a gorilla is walking in front of you ..) this is very interesting because for little details we can perceive other reality and make mistakes or something wrong for to be concentrated in other things. Other topic very curious is the percentage of our brain that we use, destroy the myth that say "we use only 10% of our brain" left me very.. sad? shocked?, I thought that geniuses were those who used more than 10% of their brain, but now I have really clear that everyone use our whole brain. Whether this is good or bad .. I don’t know ..

However, I think that is very important to know what of all that the people say about the brain is truth, especially we, because we’ll be health workers, and is the brain whose coordinates the entire body. Also as future midwives, we must know how to educate mothers on how to stimulate, develop baby's brain, responding with the truth.

What do you think about it?

See you!
