Evaluation of blog experience

It’s my first time of having a blog, and honestly i’m not very expert haha. i like the blog experience because the posts makes me think about myself, my tastes (hobbies, favourite series) and forgotten memories (crossing the volcano Hornopiren). The use of the blogs is good, because it makes us practise with the writting, we can know better our mates and is a good  platform, because it’s more comfortable to the teachers for the reviewing. I know that I didn’t took advantage of this and I’m doing it late.

This semester i learn a lot about english vocabulary in process of making the blog, but I think that I have to improve my oral expression, because I feel that my pronunciation and speaking improvisation can be better, but it’s so hard for me. I think i can improve this listening music and watching movies in english, and repeating the oral expressions that i listen, but i need people to practice the language.

Learn english can be very useful for me, especially in University, because i have to read a lot of papers and books in english, and for now it’s so dificult for me, because i have a very poor english vocabulary and i must constantly consult the diccionary, what it takes me a lot of time while i’m reading.

My favourite series

My favourite series is “Over the garden Wall”. I saw it during the time of student mobilization, because I had enough free time. I’m not a fan of series, I prefer watching movies, but this time my boyfriend suggested I see this serie, so we saw it together, and I love it.

The series is about two brothers (Wirt and Greg) who become lost in a strange forest called the Unknown. In order to find their way home, they must travel across the forest, apparently magic, with the help of Beatrice, a bluebird, and traverse a great many locations of this enchanted world in order to get home, but there are all sorts of horrifying creatures who populate the wood, and will stop at nothing to ensure the kids never make it back. Wirt, the older brother, is typical worry child, who fears everything unknown. Greg, the younger brother, is a child who is anxious for adventure, and he see everything as a game and being carefree. This adventure has many challenges to face them.

I like this series because although it is for children, it is designed for make adults think, giving a strong feeling of a world worth getting lost in, with an surreal and mildly scary ambient. I recommended it completely!

Cooking

Hello, i want to talk about one of my favourite hobbies: cooking. I love to search recipes and watch television shows where they teach how to cook. Also i like to go to new places and taste different kind of dishes, but with one condition, to be vegetarian dishes. It’s real that i can’t taste everything but being vegetarian is not a bad choice. I’d taste delicious dishes in a lot of places, this week my boyfriend invite me to “Los Miserables” where they cook mexican food, i ate the best taco i’ve ever taste. We also cook a lot together, i have to say that he cooks with so much love and creativity that i always ask him to cook with me, and also teach me. Things like onion rings, french fries, lasagna, burgers, pastas, sauce of any kind, and a long etc. My mom usually teach me how to cook cakes, cookies or pies. One of my favourite preparations is the pie with raspberry and blueberry, it’s so good that i think i will ask to my mom if she likes the idea of doing one right now.

Career related website

I decided study anthropology because I´m interested in being able to understand the development of societies in all periods of history and places of the world, understanding and respecting the differences and equalities of people in all their cultures and ways of living, and I think that anthropology can be a tool for that. To do this, it required a lot of work and internet searches, especially to do university jobs, so websites can be useful as tools to develop my career. Are many websites related to my career, because it is a scientific career, so constantly they are doing research of many things and updating them. “Scielo” is one of the scientific websites that have most used, because it has information about whatever you want, and publish research from different countries, universally accessible for free open access, in full-text format. Scielo is conceived for developing countries, originally established in Brazil, currently it is deployed in 12 countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Spain, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, South Africa and Venezuela-, and three more countries 'in development - Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay-.

My dog Otto

Hi! Today i’m going to talk about my dog, called Otto. My sister and me we adopted Otto in 2013, because we found him in street when he was a baby, so we brougth him to home. When Otto came home, he was a very agressive, messy and insecure dog, we said that he was “the devil incarnate” (hahaha), we couldn’t hug him or play with him, because he always biting us and became uncontrolled completely. But with a lot of time, love and dedication we train him, and now we are best Friends, like a happy family.

In this moment, all family loves him, he is the center of attention, like a spoiled child. He sleeps in the beds and lunch with us, always attentive to what we are doing. We are proud of all behavioral changes of Otto, because he he went from being a demon of a fallen angel from heaven, and we love him with all our hearts.

This is my baby Otto :)

Hornopiren

This is a picture of summer, when I traveled to south with my best friend, Consuelo. This photograph was taken by my friend, and i like it because is one of the most wonderful days of my life. We were in Parque Hornopiren Lago General Pinto Concha, in Los Lagos Region of Chile, and we got to this place after a long crossing. To reach the lake that is in picture, we have to make a trekking for almost seven hours. The day wasn’t very good, because it was raining a lot, and the road was very difficult, all muddy, so it costs us much effort to get there, especially for me, because it was my second trekking in all my life, and it was so hard. But when we arrived, the scenery was so beautiful, that all us effort was paid off.  

The picture shows the view we had from our tent, the most beautiful sunrise i have ever seen in my life.

A country i would like to visit

Every day I think about things I would like to do before I die. I used to create imaginary places full of animals and different species; Full of color; full of life, where all my thoughts have a place there, out of any conern. 

There is a special place that penetrates strongly in my mind sometimes; it’s Finland, a country located in the north of the globe, in Europe. I think it like a great place, full of things to do, with adorable people, delicious food, a long history, with an exceptional mythology that is unique, and wonderful traditions that teach us that our culture is not the only one in the world. But what is most attracts me most of this country is the beauty of nature, especially the aurora borealis. One of my dreams is spend a day watching this beautiful starlit sky, it is like was dancing!
