THE LAST POST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I'm going to write a brief essay about my career and the tecnology.
Firstly, my career, Physical therapy, is related with the use of tecnology and the human movement, so, to Physical Therapists is very important know how to use computers and machines related with this science. To do a good treatment is essencial to apply the knowledge and the tecnology that you have. In the next paragraphs, I'll try to explain why we have to use tecnology and how the tecnology help us to do a treatment.
In this year, we studied many things related with the molecular side of our career: tissues (muscles, bones, tendons, etc), biology and fisiology. The most of the things that we studied in this subjects had been discovered thanks to the help of the tecnology and, obviusly, thank to the scientists too. We have to understand that every process of the body and of the nature have a biological explication, and we must understand that very good, because we help people and we must know what is happening on a sick body and in a body of a healthy person. For example, in Fisiology, this year, we studied neuroscience and muscle contraction, both are importants for our career, and study the molecular aspect of the muscle is useful to explain differents diseases, like Miastenia Gravis. All this things we should know because a treatment for a disease that could be similar in syntoms should have other way to heal it.
Study tissues is important to us because a damage in the muscle or the bone happened on their respectives tissues, so know how is a tissue help us to know how we have repair the structure (bone or muscle).
We studied how to use microscopes. This is basic for any person that study something related with the health of people. If you don't know how happened the things inside of us, it would be hard explain a disease or a damage in our bodies.
In conclusion, a responsable and good Physical Therapist not only must know how to do a treatment for a determinate disease, also must know that every person is unique and every process have a explication that it can be discovered thanks to the help of tecnology and our knowledge. The knowledge is learned not only throught to the study but the experience of the proffesional.

My faculty

Today, I'm going to talk about my faculty. Firstly, I don't like this faculty very much, I found it sad. But, now I love my faculty, their areas and the construction. However, I missing green areas specially. I think green areas are fundamental in a University because they helps to relax and give you a break. Other problem is the tecnologic. There are many laboratories but their implements are old. Respect the library, is a large library, with 4 floors and many computers which aren't very good but works (sometimes). My faculty has a national monument: the anatomy building. This is plus for the faculty because. I think there is a few Universities with this privilege (if there is another). The sport infrastructure is very bad too. There is a little gym with a few of old machines and one basketball court. There are two cement soccer courts and nothing more. I think the Faculty needs new areas for the sport and, specially, green areas. In general, the problem of my faculty is the infrastructure because the teachers are great and the students too. The teachers are the best of Chile (obviously, always there are exceptions) but they are interested in us, they want that we learn, and learn well, they offer help before we need it.

In conclusion, the infrastructure is a problem that is resolved with money, so, the faculty needs more resources of the University and the Chile Statement, because this is the University of the country and they should help to all the students of this University, improving the Faculties.

Free Time and Hobbies

Well, today I'm going to talk about what I like to do in my free time. When I am in the University, I like playing table tennis in the CES (it's like a room for the students), I play Taca Taca too. In my house, I like reading books or magazines and I like watching historic or scientific programmes or movies in the TV. I remember, whan I was a child, I played Super Nintendo and I did soccer. After that, when I was 13-15 years old, I did basketball, tennis, etc 4-5 times a week. Today, I still like doing sport, but I don't have many time to do it. I do soccer once a week and Physical Education once a week too. I think that my favourite hobbie to do in my free time is the sport: basketball, tennis, soccer, bycicle and table tennis.
Other hobbie is watch programmes in History Channel or National Geographic, or some channel like that, especially, programmes that show other cultures and countries, in different ages of the history or related with my career. Oh, I was forgeting something, I like cooking, specially, chinese food. I like inventing new dishes too.
Well, the things that I did or I do in my free time, they have helped to meet new persons and do friends, specially, the sports. The historical or scientific programmes have helped to me to be a person more tolerant with other cultures, religions or simply know things useful for the life. Respect with the food, sometimes, to my friends likes that I cook them. For example, in the holidays, sometimes they ask me their favourites dishes and I did them.
The music is other of my hobbies. I like groups like Garbage, Placebo, Coldplay, Lucybell, Travis and Keane, and singers like Norah Jones and Alejandro Sanz. In general, my favourite kind of music is the brit pop and rock.

Holidays .-

Hellooo! Today, I'm going to talk about the holidays that I've lived and I'd like to live.
When I was a child, I went to Viña del Mar because my family had a house there. I walked n the beach and I played there. I liked (and still I like) ride a bike in the park. I remember that I went to eat pizza and ice cream near to the beach. In the 2000, I went to Puerto Varas in holidays, I knew Petrohué, Ralún, Ancud, Puerto Montt, Valdivia, Osorno, Frutillar and Todos los Santos lake. Other holiday that I remember is when my family and I went to Buenos Aires, I was fifteen. I bought many books and Cd's because they were very cheap, cheaper than Santiago obviusly.
Well, for this holidays, I don't have plans, the only thing that I'm sure is that I'll go to missions to the south of Chile, representing to my school. We don't know exactly where we go, but almost always is the ninth or tenth region. The last time we went to Cumbre Alta, near Puerto Montt. It is a little town and we had a great experience there. The people is very nice and kind. The missions are in January. After that, I don't know what I do. I don't think that my family go out, so I think that I'd go to the beach with my friends, to the house of a friend of mine in Ilimay, near San Antonio.
Honestly, If I had money, I'd like to know Chile from north to south with all my family in the holidays. After that, I'd travel with my best friends to somewhere in the World, a place where we can relax and enjoy very much, for example, the Caribbean or Europe. And if I travelled alone, I'd like to know San Francisco, in USA, South East of Asia, China, South America, India and Europe. I love travel.
For this holidays, I expect go to many places with my parents, brothers and friends. I'd like to celebrate my birthday with people I love and go to a disco or something like that to enjoy my 19 years old.

Exercise and Chemotherapy

A study done in two hospitals of Copenhagen and published in the British Medical Journal said that doing exercise and sport of high and low intensity while having Chemotherapy is good for feeling better. Also, exercise helps to increase the strength in the muscles and helps to breathe better too in relation to people with cancer that didn't do sport.
The therapy for the people that participated in the study consisted in 9 hours of exercise per week, this includes exercises for the heart, muscles, relaxation exercise and massages. Despite the results of the investigation said that people feeling better than other people with this disease, the quality of life did not improve in general. It was a momentary well-being. To improve the quality of life, the exercises should be forever. This study is very reliable, because it was done with two groups (who did exercise and who didn't) and this allows to know if people really feel better or if it was a placebo effect. Before finishing, people who are in Chemotherapy and feel fatigue, before starting to do exercise, is better to call the doctor or ask for the treatment to know what kind of sport or exercise is better for the person.

Transantiago.-

Hi everyone !, well, today I'm going to talk about our system of transport in Santiago called Transantiago. This system started about february of 2007. Firstly, It was a chaos, the bus stop were crowded (actually too, but today is a little better) and the people hunged of the buses. The old system had yellow buses, now we have white and green buses in the great avenues. In the smaller streets we have buses of different colours depends of area. When it started, I didn't use buses much, I walked to my school and when I had to moved I used the subway. Now, I have to use this system because my University is not closer of the subway, so I take a bus to arrive here. My experience is not very tragic, I have many options and buses to come here, but the most of them are crowded on the morning and when I left the University, at the afternoon, are crowded too. A bad thing about this system (and the old system too) is the smog and accoustic contamination. Out of my house there is a bus stop and there is noise and smog all day. However, if I have the power to change this system, I'd change the buses for greener buses and I'd do a plan to educate to people to how they should use the public system, in conclusion, more information to the poblation.

France (=

Hi!!! today I'm going to talk about France. I would like to go to France for many reasons. One of them is because It's a historic country: French Revolution (which changed the World) and World Wars. Also, It's a place where many important people lived, for example Napoleon Bonaparte, Rousseau, Voltaire. I would like to study Gastronomy in the Cordon Bleu, I like cook very much and I really want to study there. I would like to visit many places like Louvre Museum, the Triumphal Arch, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Church of Notre Dame, Churse of Saint Denis. and, for the historical importance, Normandy. Other country which I would like to go while I'm in France (because it's near) it's England. I really would like to go there because I found it's a country which many places to visit. Also, I't s a beautiful country with many history. France and England are places where there were many historical times, very importants for the actual world. I would live in France or England one or two years, no more, because I like Chile very much and I'd miss it. After finish my class of Gastronomy, I would like to work in a restaurant and then I´d come back here.

My first term .-

Hi again!!! I hadn't written because I was on holidays, but I'm here again. Well, today I'm going to write about my first term in the University. I don't know if you remember, but I study Physical Therapy and I'm very happy for that. The first term was very hard because I had to study a lot, specially Anatomy (despite the fact that is a subject very hard, It's my favourite subject), but I had the opportunity to know many good people too. Also, the last term I did sport every friday: Kung Fu. It gives me energy to study and at the same time I did it to relax. There's not much time to meet with my friends but every time I could, I did it. I found that the friendship is very important for every person and specially for me, so I tried to meet with my friends every week. I tried to stay with my family too. The family is the most important in the life of people. The weekends I spent time with my parents and brothers, We watched a movie, We went to some park or We travelled to somewhere, for example Viña del Mar. Some weekends I went out to ride my bike too. I enjoyed it a lot. To finish I can say that my first term here, in the University, despite I had to study a lot, I had a really good time with my new friends and I learnt a lot of things useful for my future and my career.

My blogging experience .-

The experience of doing a blog was different for me because I had never done a blog before. First, I didn`t like it a lot, but now I find it funnier. It was other way of learning English, more modern than the old way, when people only repeat the things that the teacher said or wrote. But I think it could be better that we write about things interesting for us, for example, we could write about the daily life, the things that we had done in the day or simply we could write about music, books, comentaries about a new or movie.

My ideal Job! =D

I'd like job in something related with the sport, for example,with a National Team of soccer or volleyball. I like very much this area of the Physical Therapy because you can stay with young people, travel around the world, know many places, job outdoors and do sports too. I don't like job indoors, in offices and closed places. When I was in the school, I did tennis, basketball and sometimes soccer too, so I'd love job with people how do sports too, I could understand them very well. To job in this area, I have to be one of the best in Physical Therapy, because this area is very requested and to be hired for a famous team is very hard. I'd have study much, do master and PhD in other universities, specially in Spain's universities or USA, because this countries are more developed than others. After study out of Chile, I'd like come back here and I`d like create a institute or some place like CAR of the "Estadio Nacional", to reclute young people with future in the sport and help them in their way to be a good athlete. This place would have nutriocionist, physiologist, physical therapists and many machines to the athletes. This would be my otherjob, apart of the job with the national team, because I love the two things: help to people who needs (specially if they are athletes) and travel around the world with a team.

Kine and Science =)

http://kineandscience.blogspot.com/ is the website that I love to visit, because it helps me when I’m trying to look for something related with my career. In this site I can find many information about the subjects that I’m studying and I can also download fields with the information that I need to complement my notes.

In this “blog” many physical therapists students fill their minds with the knowledge that they need to be an excellent physical therapist

Also I can find different contents such as histology, physiology, anatomy, or any subject related with what I need to study and if I have any doubts I can post a message and someone who knows about what I’m asking for will answer me as soon as possible.

Well, I try to visit this website everyday to see the actualizations and anything new that could be useful for me and I found it when I was surfing on the net looking for some histology information and the last thing that I can say is that It has been very stirring for me until now.

My favourite subject (=

Today, I'm going to talk about Anatomy, which is my favourite subject at the moment. I like it very much because I can learn and know more about our bodies and, also, shows me how fantastic is the nature. There are many Anatomy's teachers, byt my favourite is Ximena, she's very nice and intelligent and her classes are very entertaining. Other teacher who I like is Soto, he's very nice too.  At the moment, in Anatomy, I have learnt about Head and neck, its muscles, bones, arteries, veins and nerves.  Now, I'm learning axilla, arm and forearm. Also,  we're learning Neuroanatomy. I enjoy it too.  In both subjects, we have to see dead people and parts of bodies to learn. We go twice at week to see them. There is ONLY one bad thing., and is that Fisiology and Neuroanatomy are part of Anatomy, so, the marks evaluate us the three things.  However, I'm happy because I have good marks. Anatomy is definitely my favourite subject in the University. I'd like to be an Anatomy's teacher in few years more, when I'll be a Physical Therapist.

a talk review

Ken Robinson talks us about how schools are killing children creativity. He says nowadays everyone is concern about education and it’s very reasonable because the kids are our future. All people know that children have their innovation capacities very improve so it should be very important that teachers try to develop even more this capacities such as they do with other subjects, the point is that schools repress students creativity making them to have fear of making mistakes, and if children have fear of making mistakes they will probably have the same fears in the future and this will produce the totally lost of their originality.
The problem is that schools structures is always the same, they put on the top of everything math an language and they give less importance to subjects like humanities or arts that should be as important as math.
Ken Robinson says education is base on the industrialism because ‘the most useful for work is the most important to teach’, that’s why when you like something when you are a kid you don’t work in that on the future , and he thinks that in schools there are many talented kids but they are repress and for that reason they lose all their potential and is for this kind of things that we ought to be carefully with our creativity and intelligence and use it for have a better future and make our children be able to take advantage of their creativity.

In 5 years... (:

My future.... is a little complicated talk about my future. I think for everybody is complicated because the future is a way that each one is going constructing while the days, months and years past. In 5 years more, I'll be a Physical Therapist (If God wants), I hope being working to have my own money and help to my family in the things that I can. Personally, I don't think I'll be married,. maybe I'll have a boyfriend, but it is not my priority. I prefeer study and be stable. Also I'd like travel around the world, know many countries, places, cultures, enjoy every little thing that I can. Obviously, I'd like to be with my friends, go out with them. Go to parties and holidays with them too. I hope they will be happy with the respectives careers and life that they choiced. About the society, I'd like Chile and the World in general will be in peace, all the people have reals oportunities to study and work worthily, the economy will be in a great time. I know that 5 years is a little time to do all this things, but I'd like Chile in this period will be in the right way to get it.

The best in Physical Therapy :O

It's very complicated talk about who is the best in my area, Physical Therapy, because there are many Physical Therapist in Chile and in the World, so found a person who be the best, It's really complicated. Well, If I have to choice, I'll choice Enrique Enoch. First, he was classmate and is friend of one of my brother. Second, he was in my school, Sagrados Corazones de Alameda. And he was a football player and he was in the national team in the World Cup sub 17, the year 1994.
Then he studied Physical Therapy, after that he studied Anatomy. And now he is teacher in the "Universidad Metropolitana de Ciencias de la Educación" where he teaching Anatomy. I like Enrique Enoch because he known how be a football player and relationated to a career. And then, to be a top Physical Therapist. Also, he is younger than other teachers, He is around 30 years old. Actually, he is working in "Clinica Santa Maria", with other important professionals destacated, like the Doctor who operated a English football player, that I don't remember his name now.

My career: Physical Therapy

well... the career I choose is Physical Therapy. Between 2006 and june 2008, I wanted to study Psycology, but I realized that Psycology was very humanist for me. Then, I started to find about careers, and I found Physical Therapy. I like my career because combines the sports ( I like so much practice sports), the rehabilitation of differents injuries. I can share with the people. It's a closer relation with the patient than the relation doctor-patient. I think that practice basketball in the school influenced my decision. About the physical therapists and the society, there are many institutions like Teleton, which is in differents parts of Latin America. A Physical Therapist have to be a person who knows how work with all the people: adults, kids, young people. In my career, my favourite subject is Anatomy, I like it so much because the teachers are so nice and every week we go to see parts of bodies. This makes the Anatomy more entertaining.

My favourite photograph

Well, today I'm going to talk about my favourite photograph. This was taken in the holidays, when I was in the beach with my friends, near to San Antonio. We were in the apartment of one of my friend, Vivi. In this picture I was with my friends Karen, Marcelo, Javier, Luis and Vivi lying in the sand and shows the sea too. Also shows a wonderful sunset. We seems very happy and relax. It was taken for us, by the timer. I liked it very much because It was a great time for us and that holiday was one of the best of my life. That week It was my birthday and we celebrated in the night with a little party in the apartment. Other friends went to the party too, like the Javier's brother, Diego and Felipe went too. It was a really cool time, and I'll remember forever. I was celebrating my 18 years. The next day I traveled to Santiago, where my family was waiting for me. That night I went out to a discoteque, Miel with other friends. Really, this photograph bring me beautiful recorders to my mind.

My favourite piece of technology

I admit that I'm a little fanatic of the technology, specially of the Internet. I think this makes the life easier and you always can be connecting with friends and family. I thing that this is great! I use it everyday to do works, study and chatting with my friends.The first time that I have internet in my house was when my parents bought a computer for first time, ten years ago, if my memory doesn´t failed. I was 8 years old and I was very happy.
I believe that if I don't have internet in my life I'll accustum to live without it, I like it, but I'm not a obsessive. Ok, I have to go... byebye !

Hello!

HI! I'm Margarita, I'm Chilean. How are you? . I write you to know you and to do a work to a course of English. I'm 18 and I'm a student of Physical Therapy of first year. Now, I'm in the "Universidad de Chile", where I'm studying, and I'm doing this (writing to you) to practice my English because learn your language is obligatory in my University, It's a assignature. I hope this English's Course helps me to learn more about this language because I'd like to travel around the World and know many cultures, cities and countries. I think that have done a blogspot to this course to write in English helps me to practice, learn new words and talk better in this language.

Weel, I hope you aren't boring with me and my blog. I want to know more about you, about your life, what do you do in your daily life, if you are a student like me or you work, It would be interesting.

Ok, I have to go now.
