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!

Social & Health Problem: Drug addicts' children

Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about interesting article from “The Guardian” magazine, called: Drug addicts' children need protecting.
This article is written by a judge, who usually work with drug-addicted mothers. These mothers commonly have many children, for example seven or eigth, even fourteen. This is not good situation, because the baby taken away. In a report of one mother says that when she goes out, she gets pregnant again for to combat the pain of having her son far away.
The Judge thinks that offering money for them is the best way forward, he thinks that we need to work with this drug-addicted parents, work with the family drugs and alcohol curt. All this for to stabilise parents and keep families together. But if they don’t want to participe in that, and they prefer to accept money for to sterilisation or contraception, and he prefer to sterilisation.
There is a controversial point: babies born to drug-addicted mother are often premature and need special and intensive care, they fight for life. Their first moment of them life consist in being weaned off the drugs that mothers took in the pregnancy. This is not a good way for to start a life, and judges must to do what they can to help parents off drugs and alcohol, but the jugdes also must to protect the right of these children.
The family drug and alcohol court has been shown great succes in helping more parents to come off drugs and alcohol, and keep their families together. But when is very hard, the court speeds up the care process and finds permanent, stable homes for the babies.
The judge think that they must help who can and will be helped, but not everyone is capable, perhaps the societa need to consider something different.
I think that is very important because the children-mothers care is work of our career. The midwifes recive everytime cases of drug-addicted mothers, so we need to help and improve this situation, because this situation affects the process of pregnancy on the fetus, it can have consequences for him. Therefore we are responsible to advise that mothers with drug problems to improve the health of the mother and the fetus and newborn future.

Today is very common that people are stress. This is consecuence of very factors like: the speed of life, work, studies and other dificult situation. Nowasays We have less time for to share with our families, friends, for to laught and do thing that make us feel better.

The stress is a fisiologycal reaction of our organism is face with a defiant problem. But when this situation ocurr many times, or response is very strong the stress turn harmful. This strong response can affect our life, relations, so is very important that we can prevent it.

The Symptoms of stress are emocional: anxiety, fear, confusion; thoughts: dificult fot to concentrate and take decisions, concern for future; conduct: crying, impulsive reaction, increase of tobacco and alcohol consume, change of appetite, physical changes: contract muscle, cold or swaty hands, disturbance of sleep, stomach problemas, agitated breath, trembling, dry mouth. Also the orgasm have less capacity for to protect our body, because the immune system are down. So, is more probably that we suffer infections.

Obviusly we can’t eliminate stress easily, but we can prevent or attenuate the symptoms, for example we must not drink alcohol, caffeine (coca cola, coffee), eat balance food, not consume tobacco or others drugs, do exercise and take rest at work (not all day obvius hahaha).

Personally, I think that this illness is a consecuense of the modern style life, because in our free time we don’t make thing that help us (exercise) and isn’t because we “don’t have time” (sometimes is true), is because we don’t organize our time.

Well.. if you don’t want be stressed please breath and think in your best memory !!

And you, What do you think about..?

Hi everyone! The last week I saw presentation of D. Carlos Valenzuela about his investigation. The investigation is very interesting because is about something very polemical and related to our career: The post day’s pill. I had read the papper but I understood better when I saw the presentation, because Carlos Valenzuela talked about some terms and concepts whose weren’t in the research paper.

Levonorgestrel is a synthetic hormone that in low concentrations acts how oral contraceptive, and in high concentrations acts lhow emergency contraception. It is known that emergency contraception has preovulatory effects (only acts if coitus and / or fecundaation was before ovulation). But D. Valenzuela says that Levonorgestrel has postovulatory effects too. Also he said that the use of levonorgestrel increases the risk of have an ectopic pregnancy. The ectopic pregnancy is when the blastocyst develops outside the uterus: in the Fallopian tube, in the ovary, cervical canal or abdominal cavity.

In my opinion, the life begins at fecundation, when the genetic material (pronuclei) of ovule and sperm are mixed. the abortion for my is interupt the pregnancy, kill the life of embryo.. who is an human and has right to live., so I’m not in favor the use of levonorgestrel as emergency contraception, because I’m not in favor of abortion and D.Valenzuela shows that levonorgestrel has postovulatory effect , so acts after fecundation, acts on the blastocyst.

Anyway, we must respect the opinion of others..

See you!

Oasis ♪

Today I’m going talk about other of my favorite bands: OASIS

This band is from Manchester, England. It created in 1991, and after was called “The Rain”. It is formed for: Paul Arthurs (guitarist), Paul McGuigan (bassist), Tony McCarroll (drummer), Noel gallagher (composer and guitarist) and Liam Gallagher (singer). Noel and Liam are brothers and often fight and the band split… then, the band back together, but at this moment they are separated.
They have many CDs, personally I think that the best Cd is “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”, because has song like: “Wonderwall”, “Don’t Look Back in Anger”, “Champagne Supernova”. The great song of Oasis is “Wonderwall”, they became known and famours for it.
I know this band because my brother listened it (when he was young.. hahaha) and I liked. So until know, I listen and I like this kind of music: Britpop. In 2006 Oasis came to Chile, they played at “Estadio Nacional” and I really wanted to go, but my parents didn't let me because I was so teenager.
Fortunately, the last year (In 2009) they came back! And in May they played at “Arenas Santiago” and I went to see them!! I was so anxious and excited, the concert was great!

I’m very happy because I could see them, because as I said before: now they’re separated and I don’t know when they come back together =/.
So.. by while listening their music!
