My best friend

Image
As long I´ve been spending the years in school, I´ve been closing a lot my group of friends. People consider me a very social person, but I consider my friends a very few people among all those close to me. One of the friends I´ve known for almost all my life is Ignacio. We met him when we were at school, him in 2nd grade, one class older than me. His mother was my class teacher and he always went to our class to have his lunch. Sometimes I had to wait more time for the school bus or mom to take me home, we didn´t have permission to leave the class meanwhile we waited for someone to take us home. So while I had lunch, I met him and we turned into very close friends until now. Counting the time, we have been friends since 2007. We always support each other and even now that we are following very similar but at the same time different ways, we try to always keep in contact. He is studying medicine and he almost doesn´t have time to do anything more than studying to sleep, but he...

The Flicker World Tour Experience

-
Image
After a year since One Direction took their 18 months rest, everyone of them decided to try something as solo. It was 2017, Niall Horan and Harry Styles released their first solo albums almost at the same time, and a few weeks later, their world tours schedule. I wanted to go to both of their dates here in Chile, specially Harry´s, but for reasons of the sale success and at the same time that the producer didn´t want to add another date, I couldn´t go. Anyway, I got tickets to Niall´s concert and that rainy afternoon was one of the best ones of my life. With a friend we went to Movistar Arena on July 4th from last year after school. It was a very emotive concert because of the topic of the album. "Flicker"  talks about the flicker of hope we want to keep of our past feelings specially those ones that show us the best feelings of past relationships. Some parts of the concert were very emotional in that sense, and Niall even apologized about that, but there was his feeling...

A place of knowledgment, a rewind of the soul

Ooh, traveling… There are some countries that I would love to visit. Our planet´s big and full of assorted and beautiful places. If I could, I would visit them all. One of the places I like to visit the most is the United Kingdom because it´s a place that approves knowledge and it has very beautiful cities and rural zones that I would like to go across. I know from it, that it´s divided into England, Scotland, Wales and North Ireland. Each one of them is a country within the country that I will like to visit in the part of knowledge, it´s England. England according to the ARWU (Academic Ranking of World Universities) has 8 Universities in the Top 100 lead by the University of Cambridge. The campuses are true towns were the students develop their lives, among green areas, student departments, classrooms, and places to recreate themselves. It seems to be a better environment to study than here because all the areas interact among them which is very different from what we hav...

Welcome

Hello, my name is Antonia Morales Berríos, I´m 19 years old and I have started studying Biochemistry this year, achieved past English I and II when I did the English test at the start of the first semester. During this year I have started to realize more about what my weaknesses and strengths are in this language, and I think that I can understand very well when I´m listening to someone speaking English, but sometimes when this person is speaking very fast I start to confuse words or I don´t understand completely the ideas that he or she is trying to communicate to me. Also, I think that I have a lot of pet words when I´m talking or writing, especially with the words "also", "well", "even"  and some verbs that I use to express my opinion, even when I try to change it. My expectations for this class are to start to speak more fluently, try to use fewer pet words and get better with writing. I would like to see some texts related to what I study bec...

My experience with blogs

-
Image
I always enjoy writing, it´s something that I really love to do, but only what I do it for myself or for the people who I care about. I have notebooks at home full of my writings. A lot of nonsense paragraphs, songs written based on other ones. Stories that sometimes don´t end because of inspiration or time. Write to me it´s emotive and has started to be the next step when discovered worlds in books by reading did not feel sufferer. So yes... I like writing, but sincerely I don´t like the experience of this class. Maybe because of the schedule that has or because it was in the moments that I felt less inspired on the week. Since ever Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings are my lazy moments in the week. These times where I don´t want to do anything at all. And also, I have written blogs before at school. In English too, and I don´t like it because even when the topics are chosen by the group class, I feel it like an attack for the inspiration. I feel that my writing skills ...

The sugar way

The body is amazing. Complex. Hard to understand. It haves too many functions, cells, and not even talk about the biological molecules. One thing that calls me too much the attention, it´s one of these elementary elements for life, it´s a simple carbohydrate, compound about six carbons, twelve hydrogens, and six oxygen atoms, and makes that our entire body works. I´m talking about the glucose, and especially about its pathway. If a person has their normal blood levels of glucose, there is no problem. A problem could appear when there are complications in the production of a hormone that helps glucose enter our cells to be used as energy: the Insulin. This hormone it's produced by the pancreas, located at the top of the abdomen, back of the stomach and it has a size of fifteen centimeters. The people that have a problem with Insuline it´s because the pancreas does not produce insulin or because it doesn´t produce enough. These conditions are diseases and answer to the n...
