A FASCINATING ANIMAL

Imagen
Hello, today I'm going to write about Black Panthers. This Feline is native to South America, Central America and part of North America. Black panthers are solitary hunters and do not relate to others of their kind, only at the time of mating; they usually hunt large prey, with their powerful jaws they can hunt deer, tapirs, capybaras or pecaries, but they not only hunt large animals but also frogs and mice to birds, fish and pets. An important feature when hunting is its excellent night vision this allows them to take advantage of the night to feed. What catches my attention the most is the color it is the only feline without spots on the skin. The black color of your skin is caused by melanism. Melanism which consists of an excess production of melanin in some organisms that causes them to have their skin, hair or feathers completely tinted black. An interesting fact about the black panthers is that it was an important symbol for American aborigenes. Azt...

THE INTERNET

Imagen
The first time I had access to the internet was between 2006-2008 on my school's computers. After that in 2010 I got my first computer and in my house they installed Wi-Fi. From there I had access to the internet every day, create my facebook. I used to play and chat with my classmates. Later I got my first smartphone, approximately in 2012 and created my instagram, an application that today is my favorite. I currently use the internet every day, most of the time, because it is a very important tool, not only for entertainment, it is very useful for university life, because it allows us to investigate beyond class and allows multiple platforms to exist in which teachers provide files, tests, videos and texts necessary for our learning. However, the internet not only brings positive consequences, but often causes distraction and we waste time playing or chatting. On occasion, the games become additive. especially in the case of younger children who spend hours behind a scree...

THE BEST HOLIDAYS

Imagen
The best vacations I had were in the summer of 2018, that summer together with my group of friends composed of Yoselyn, Benjamin, Hector, Tamara, Francisca, Pilar, Constanza, Barbara, Camila, Javiera and Daniela we visited many beaches and attended a lot of parties. Also, one of our favorite hobbies was walking through the city parks and watching movies in the cinema. We also met almost every night in a house, bar, restaurant to eat, talk and drink mojitos, or sangria among other things. Also that summer I met with the group of friends I had when I attended Camila, Francisca and Khaterine. On the other hand, on those vacations I met many people who became great friends, I never thought that Felipe, Roberto, Miguel and Tahia would become so important in my life. Also on these vacations I took many photographs, this is one of my favorite activities. I really enjoyed these vacations. I spent a lot of time with my family and this is very impornate for me, because studying outs...

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Imagen
Hello classmates I would like to visit India, It is a country located in South Africa and is the second-most populous country in the world. The main cities of this country are Bombay, Nueva Delhi, and Bangalore.  Nueva Delhi is its capital.  I'm interested in visiting this country because is characterized by its trade routes, cultural diversity, gastronomy, and beautiful architecture. Much of Indian architecture, including the Taj Mahal, other works of Mughal architecture, and South Indian architecture, blends ancient local traditions with imported styles. In this country, we can find four important religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Many of the Indian celebrations have a religious origin, although some are celebrated regardless of caste or creed. Some of the most popular festivals in the country are Diwali, Holi, Durga Puja, Eid ul-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Christmas, and Vesak. In addition to these, India has three national holidays: Republic Day, Ind...

My experience using blogs in the English class.

The experience of using blog in classes was totally new for me. It has always been difficult for me to write, and sometimes I found it boring. But this situation exceeded my expectations, since what I wrote was related to my tastes and even personal anecdotes. I think it is a good tool to use as a learning method, since it is not the typical guide or sometimes listening that is a bit tedious and routine. Blogs should be a tool that is not only implemented in this type of class, as they stimulate our ability to think and create content and that is very important in a student. I feel that my skills have improved a bit, but there is still a lot to practice and learn in this language, which I hope to master a bit more as time passes. In the future, I would like to include other topics in blogs, such as the creation of stories, songs, poems, plays, etc. It would be very interesting and it would also be good to include more audiovisual content, such as the creation and editing of videos...

A subject that I have enjoyed studying this semester

The branch that I liked most of this semester is psychiatry, taught by Professor José Rossi and Dr. Fernando Ivanovic-Zuvic. Both academics carry out the classes, on Wednesdays we have classes with Professor Rossi on the campus juan gomez miles and on Thursdays classes with professor ivanovic in the medical school, specifically in the psychiatric clinic. The classes are of the type cathedra, the professors expose each class a subject in particular and the students take notes of what seems to be more relevant (in this field everything is relevant). In some classes with Professor Ivanovic the interview patients who reside in the psychiatric clinic and once the case ends, the teacher asks us about the case and asks us to give our opinion about it. It is an excellent instance to learn, and after several sessions a similar activity is performed, evaluated in which the students must present a clinical file of a particular patient to evaluate the knowledge learned during the semester. The ...

The person I admire is: Aleksandr Lúriy

Imagen
Alexander Romanovich Luria (16 July 1902 – 14 August 1977) was a Soviet neuropsychologist and developmental psychologist. He was one of the founders of Cultural-Historical Psychology, and a leader of the Vygotsky Circle, also known as "Vygotsky-Luria Circle". Luria's magnum opus is Higher Cortical Functions in Man (1962), a psychological textbook which has been translated into many languages and which he supplemented with The Working Brain in 1973. Apart from his work with Vygotsky, Luria is widely known for two extraordinary psychological case studies: The Mind of a Mnemonist, about Solomon Shereshevsky, who had highly advanced memory; and The Man with a Shattered World, about a man with traumatic brain injury. In addition Luria describes all mental activity based on three functional units of the brain: 1) Unit to regulate the tone or wakefulness. 2) Unit to obtain, process and store information that comes from the outside world. 3) Unit to program, regulate and verify ...
