Post 10: English language challenges

This is the end, my only friend the end…

Just like Jim Morrison said, this is the end, this is the last post of the blog guys, I know that all my loyal fans are going to feel really bad but as the saying says ie!

ut thang to feel badhe last blog guys, I know that all my l of them, I hope to see them in the summer because any of C’est la vie! Also I have to say that is the end of my English course so, I can’t lie to you I feel awesome hahah.

I liked the English classes at university, the use of blogs was new for me so I really liked, I think this was an interesting way of learning English. At the beginning it was some kind of boring but then it turns like a custom thing that you finally enjoy.

 I think there’s a lot things I have to improve about my English, aspects like vocabulary and fluency in the oral part, and many of grammatical details I have to correct, I used to be really really good with grammatical but over the years there’s some things you missed in the course.

Outside the English class I use English generally for signing songs and watch some movies, but specially in music, Im always signing hahaha, but I really could use much more of English because my grandmother came from USA like two or three years ago but she didn’t talk to me in English L I don’t really ask her to talk to me en English neither.. L

Well these paragraphs resume all my English life hahaha, hope you enjoy it because it was the last (I hope so) hhah, BYE BYE! I love you all J

Post 9: Good and bad points of 2013

Hello classmates, well this is almost the last post of the blog, and I have to do some king of evaluation of this year 2013.

This year wasn’t very different or special actually, the university was good, in the past semester I was laboratory assistant for the “CICBAE” classes (something like botany, morphology and taxonomy all in one class) and there was very interesting and funny, because I really like to teach and I love plants and that stuff so I really enjoyed that, but in this semesters schedule didn’t allow me to be assistant anymore. In the current semester I’ve learn a lot of new things, and I've done very well in classes related to ecology and vegetal formations, but not so good in math and statistics but the marks are decent.

About my family, there were a lot of different events that makes me and my family feel many emotions, but there are all personal things. In general all my family is good and happy, luckily there was no bad news for us this year.

This year I didn’t visit my ex-school friends so much in contrast of past year and I really miss all of them, I hope to see them in the summer because any of us has much time because of the university, but anyway I shared more with another friends and I went to different places, festivals and music concerts :D so social life was very good this year, except for my love life because I broke up with my boyfriend this year, but I’m really easy about it and we still been friends J

I almost forget that I've got a tattoo this year!

Well that’s all, a little bit boring but it was my year hahah good bye!

Post 7 : A career-related article

Hello everyone, today I have to write about an article of my interest, related to my career, So I found something very interesting. I found an article about Habitat restoration.

Habitat Restoration

There are many factors that can change the ecosystem producing fragmentation and destruction.  Ecological restoration is a process that accelerates the recovery of destroyed ecosystems. The main object of habitat restoration is that the destroyed ecosystem be self-sufficient.

To restore habitats there are some steps:

1.       To identify the processes that degraded the ecosystem

2.       Create some methods to stop these processes

3.       To define realistic objects

4.       To develop some techniques to catch the goals

5.       To communicate and document the progress

A project of restoration have to has enough time for its development, and it has to be about recover the diversity and functionality in a ecosystem, ecologically and genetically talking, witouh forgetting the landscape. In habitat restoration, you must favour the connection between reforested areas with plantations, with the object to make ecological corridors for animals, and in this way, avoid genetical problems like endogamy.

In my personal opinion, I think these are very important because deforestation is a reality. Preserve and restore the ecosystem is very important for us, for the human well-being but more important, for all the living beings to maintain the equilibrium of all the interactions that are produced in an ecosystem.

Here is the link for the article: http://webs.uvigo.es/revistaecosistemas/miniecosistemas/temas/restauracion_habitats.pdf

Bye bye!

Post 4 : Climate Change

Hello readers, today I’m going to talk about the article “New IPCC Report Strengthens Certainty of Climate Change”.

This article talks about a climate report that reaffirms what scientists says about de Climate Change. Basically, they confirm that humans are causing global warming, and these global warming produces climate changes that will get worse with the passage of time.

The information in the report is really alarming, it says that the Ice is melting faster, the ocean is becoming more acidic, and weather patterns are changing, and these entire things are happening right now. Also, as some scientist says, all the people is going to evidenced a increased frequency in heat waves, and that will affects both people and ecosystems.

As a conclusion, the article says that in spite of efforts to roll our more efficient cars and solar panels, carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase year after year. And give us the following fact: In 2011, humans emitted 9.5 gigatons of carbon, up 54 percent over the 1990 level.

Personally, I think global warming and climate change –both go hand in hand, obviously- is a relevant topic that concerns us all, because we are all part of this ecosystem called ‘Planet Earth’ and I think we have to care about it. Anyway there’s so many industries that contribute for climate change and we can almost do nothing about it … that’s makes me sad.

Well, that’s all, you can read the article here: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/519636/new-ipcc-report-strengthens-certain-of-climate-change/#comments

Bye bye!

Post 3 : How to stop desertification

Hello readers, today I’m going to talk about such an interesting video called “How to green the world’s desert and reverse the climate change” by Allan Savory. In the video, Allan Savory talks -from his experience- about how to stop desertification, explaining how they arrived at these conclusions after several investigations, including some previous misconceptions.

I think that the topic under discussion is very outstanding and every single person should be informed about this, because we are largely responsible for the climate change and it is an issue that concerns us all as living beings belonging to the ecosystem.

About the solution given by Allan Savory, It makes sense to me; after all, through all our history man has always tried to imitate nature with its perfectly balanced mechanism, sometimes incomprehensible to us. The idea to imitate nature seems to be right, but I have to recognize that I’m not agree even with the concept of “cattle”, it contrasts somewhat to my ideals and my ethics, and I wonder what the consequences will raise this amount of cattle? What will happen to all of them after recover the vegetation? I would like to read more about this topic to have a better opinion, a more informed one.

That’s all, see you J

Post 2: Majors in Forestry

Hello readers haha,
Well, before all I came back with the blogs for de English course, now i'm on level B1+ so I hope my writting was better too haha..

Majors in Forestry: first, I have to clarify that -according to what I heard- in the new "Curriculum for competition" there's no majors, we all are Foresters without differences but of course in life you can specialize anyway, outside or inside your career, so I would like to specialize myself in something associated with Ecology, Conservation of nature, maybe something like Zoology and I also like Botany. All these issues in relation with my career, but, in the other hand I would like to do something more artistic too, because I rally love to draw so who knows, maybe someday I will do some work of art.
I also love sports too, so I dont leave a side the idea of practicing running professionally.

Anyway, those are my interests and I think that you never knows what the destiny has prepared for you, so I dont know if if these interests are gonna change or maybe I will leave the university jajja (but is very unlikely because I like this career jaja :)

That's all, see you in the next blog :)

Post 10: Your Blogging Experience

HELLO FRIENDS!

Today is my final Blog! Yes! This is the end, my only friend the end (8) And it's about my blogging experience! Oh how to start....
This experience has been .. but funny, I've never thought have a Blog and I've never imagined myself writing and having followers, I feel like a rockstar with a lot of fans hahahah Ok not but It was a funny experience :)
Anyway I have some complaints because I'm a whiny person: We never wrote about food! and food is one of my favourite topics, I would like to talk about some restaurants and "picás" that I know (people who know me knows I always recommend vegan and good places haha). Also we never wrote about hobbies or sports then I could have boasted about my athletic skills Jaja (just kidding..) So I think in the future we have to have a free-topic blog! haha.
About the english learning in blogging experience I can say that it was an interactively way of studying english! it was a little bit funniest than other learning methods I've been practice in my life like singing songs or give a discourse, so I would like that this method have been perpetuated in time but I would add some corrections to know what we are wrong.
Well that's all Bye bye! :)
