Hi, today in the last blog I will tell you about my experience learning English in the university. I studied English 3 and 4 because the two previous ones I passed with a test, the teachers I had were different, in English 3 I had less time to upload blogs than in English 4, which made it difficult to get them done well, but my experience was good, i was already familiar with the use of blogs because at school I had a similar mode. I liked that in English 4 the teacher gave more time to deliver assignments, because this is a more complex semester and having more time is better to perform well in the other courses, in English 3 I also had listening and other tasks and in both English there were final written and oral tests to improve pronunciation. I still find it hard to start forming sentences but I understand almost everything that I read and hear, my idea is to do some English course later, because it is such an important language that you need to learn well and unfortunately with s

Hi, today I will write about what changes I would make to the chemistry and pharmacy study program. I feel that in my mayor there are many subjects that have an unnecessary and excessive complexity and that the contents are not seen again later in the mayor, although they say they help to create a scientific thinking, I feel that they are subjects that could be eliminated or at least diminished in difficulty, this in order to have more time for the really important subjects for vocational training. On the other hand, I think the length of the mayor is ok, although due to the complexity of some areas most students complete their degree in more years than they should, the overload per semester is also quite high, which means there is no time for much more. I can't talk much about the faculty or its infrastructure, because I only know it through the laboratories, some of the lab materials are very old or broken so they should be replaced. I haven't been in any classroom yet so I d

Hi, I would like to time travel to the place I’m going to live in the near future, Santiago in the year 2122 looks the same but with futuristic stuff, such as the automatic taxi (without actual drivers) and drones doing deliveries.  Obviously the climate has changed drastically, now there’s more of a tropical climate with heavy rains and sudden electric storms and we had to adapt to it somehow, now the tallest buildings can absorb the electric energy from the lightning and store it for future use. Also the water accumulates in a modern underground system which takes it to drought zones through the country. Besides the modern and futuristic stuff, some things have really decayed, big buildings have been abandoned and there’s new ones, but there’s also a lot of underground new spaces, like shopping centers and places of work. Plus people migrating from the city have totally changed the way of living. The modern things have positively contributed to the lives of the citizens that are left

Hi, today I will write about a job I would like to do in the future related to my mayor, chemistry and pharmacy, although it is difficult to imagine what job I would like to have, being just in the second year of the degree, because we barely have an idea of the jobs that we can have as pharmaceutical chemists. I think what I would like most is to work in some pharmaceutical or cosmetic laboratory to learn well how they work, developing drugs and doing quality control, but as far as I know, it is difficult to work in laboratories in Chile as there are few vacancies and people with more experience get the jobs, so I would like to go to another country where I can have more job opportunities. Also, here in Chile they pay less in laboratories (at least to inexperienced people) than in other jobs like in pharmacy, I hope that's more equitable in other countries, but, it's still too early to know if it's a job I'd like to do, I think the best option for know is to try out al
