Blogging experience

Hi bloggers:

This is one of my last posts, this time I'll tell you about my blogging experience.
So, since  we start I was so ashamed to write in English because I use to think that mistakes are embarrassing, but writing my posts I realize that even when we are wrong we are learning and this is such a good tool. I had so much fun with each topic, I learn many new words and now I feel more comfortable about new languages. Actually I like to learn Portuguese now.

I think that speak English it’s an important issue in our field, even more if you like to work abroad. Because of that I started to teach myself English since my lasts years at school and I was lucky to had a great teacher, so this year I was so nervous about English class and the result was that I forgot to set the alarm so I fell asleep and arrived at university late.

Finally, we never talk about why we are interested in learning English, I mean, why is important for us, what we expect and when we realize that it’s an important thing. I like to do it.

That’s all,

Read you next time!

My favorite subject

Hi bloggers!

Today I’ll tell you about my semester.

To start I should say that last year was very tiring for me because I must travel about 5 hours daily between university and home. So, this year I need to reduce my course load and because of that I enjoyed all my subjects (they are 4). But my favorite one was “Products and services of forests” because in this subject I learn what kind of things can give us forests but also, how forest influence people’s life. The teacher makes me realize that we use forests daily in many ways even when we live in cities, they can give us food, clean up our air, timber, recreation areas and sense of belonging.  

In this subject, we have theoretical classes most part of the time but practical activities too in the university facilities. Its contents are divided in two parts, the first one is about forest’s products and was the easiest. The second one is about forest’s services by Dr. Claudia Cerda, who teach us to see the global image in environmental issues and I like that.

That's all

I hope that next semester will be easy to us...

An expert of Forestry

Hi bloggers: Today I'll tell you about a person that I admire.

Bernardo Zentilli studied Forestry from 1954 to 1959 at "Universidad de Chile" when only timber production was important. A few years later he started to work in national parks in the south of Chile but he had to leave our country. 

Since 1975 he started to work in protected wildlife areas in places like Switzerland, Rome, Kenia, Belize and Paraguay; also, he contributed in projects of CONAF, FAO, ONU, UICN and PNUMA being an expert of his area. Then 27 years later he came back to Chile and became in president of CODEFF. For 5 years, he represented Chile around the world in many conferences about environment.

Last year, we meet in Santiago and he told me about his life. It was a motivating meeting because he loves his job and always try to do the best. Also, he told me about biodiversity and how he has been trying to protect it his all life. I think he was a visionary for his time.

That’s all,

I hope you like it… 

MY IDEAL VACATIONS

Hi bloggers!

Some posts ago I wrote about my last vacations but today my topic will be what is an ideal vacation to me.

At present, if vacations were just a few months before I would like to celebrate my birthday in a beach, could be in Chile or not but it's like a dream because I don't used to make big parties. I prefer small celebrations with my family and close friends.

Also, in my life, I hadn’t much vacations so every new place is an adventure to me. But my favorite places are beach surrounded of forests like “Canelillo” beach. Because of this, I think my ideal vacation could be camping about a week in a forest near to a beach so in afternoons I could walk through the seashore without shoes and feel the sand and water. An important part of my travels are my family, my boyfriend and my cat because when I travel alone I miss them all the time or I feel sad. I think everything is better if you are sharing it with a person that you love.

That’s all,

I hope you like it J
