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 because even when they are reading yet Spanish texts, in some opportunities English texts appear and it´s useful to have some tools, not to get desperate or fruitless in these situations. And to finish, I would like to recognize the ways to express the verbs because it´s one thing that always confuses me very much, and I would like to express my English in a better way.

My name is Antonia Jesús Morales Berríos, sister, and step sister. I live with my parents and my young brother in Maipú, when my mother and my father decided to live after they get married in 1996. My parent came from Tocopilla to studied Civil Construction when he was 17, but he changed his mind at second year because he found his vocation in the education. He is know and PE teacher, and while he was in a summer camp he met my mother. She, that has been living in Santiago her entire life, was studying to be a Spanish teacher, and they got married before my dad got the divorced with his, from that moment, ex wife, with which have a son, my step brother Daniel. I was born on 26th June, 2000 with a health problem. My mother because of the pregnancy had one to. Two of us have to be operated, but successfully everything will be fine since that moment. After two years, on December 2002, was born my brother José. This year we moved near from Las Parcelas, Maipú, to near and I started

The movie or the book?

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one".- Jojen Reed This is one of my favorite quotes in all the books I have read in my life. But I think that apply for books too. For me it´s difficult to choose between books and movies, because I like both, a lot. Like Jojen Reed said one could live a thousand lives through them, and it´s good like one could scape for a little time to the reality because of being reading or watching a movie. Until a few years ago, I always think that books are far better than books. I think it today too, but no so deeply like I did before, because a romance book and it respective movie appear at the same time in my life, and if I have to point both since 1 to 10, they would severally take a 5 and a 100. I don´t like a lot romantic books and movies, but this story definitely touch my heart. The book name is "Where the Rainbows End" by Cecilia Ahren, and the movie is named "Love, Rosie&q

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
