Evaluation of blog experience

Five months ago, after taking the diagnostic test, I had the news that I had qualified for english 3. First, I felt a little disappointed because I really believed that my level of english was higher. But then, I started to think that maybe it would be a good opportunity to improve my perfomance in another languaje.

When we started, the idea of writing blogs was boring, because I thought it would not be the big deal. But after seeing the topics and writing them, something became noticeable: they are usually things that not being so difficult, make you think.

Topics like your favourite photo or your pets, were things that I do not usually think about. For example, when we had to write the blog about pets, my hearth broke in many pieces when I remembered my two pretty little ducks.... but it was a special feeling, and I think they needed to be remembered for a few moments.

Throughout the course I felt that my english improved in terms of writing and pronunciation, and I discovered my taste for british english.

In the next course, I would like to improve my skills even more, and I hope to have a good time writing about new topics... there is a lot to talk about to the rest!

Our amazing human body

Today, I am going to talk about a very important organ: the kidneys. Why about them? I think they are very interesting, so here are the reasons why you can sell them and get good money...

Kidneys are responsible of filtering and removing waste from our blood, so they are constantly working. They process 200 liters of blood everyday, getting about two liters of waste. Our body eliminates substances that are not helpfull to the bloodstream, and the kidneys clean all.

They are under the ribs, and are shaped like peas, and size of our fist. Although they are not so big, they perform a vital task of our existence; if they aren't working is simple: we die.

So...how to help our kidneys work properly? One of the easiest ways to take care of them is having a healthy diet, with low levels of sodium and fats, and drinking eight glasses of water daily. There are another things that can affect their functioning, like suffering diabetes or blood pressure problems.

You must take care of them, because the damage to this organ brings with it a painful and unpleasant process: the abominable dialysis. Or the another solution is getting a transplant, and we all know that they are very difficult to obtain.

Take care of your kidneys, they do a lot to you!

The most enjoyable subject

Today, I'm studying Chemistry and Pharmacy, so the main contents here are about chemistry and how use that in the elaboration of drugs and medicine. In the first year of the career, there are the basics of science, like calculus introduction or physics, but I think that the subjects that can show you some chemistry and what you should do in the future are General Chemistry and Chemical Laboratory Techniques.

General Chemistry is a basic subject about chemistry, and here we learn about principles, formulas and concepts that can help you to understand and solve exercises. At the moment, we know how to make concentred solutions, the balance of reactions, how atoms and molecules are, and a lot of things more. I guess, we all need to start from the basics!

At the same time, in Chemical laboratory techniques we all learn about how to use the lab's material, and all the warnings we need to keep and what to do in case of some accident with dangerous reactants. Here, responsibility is key in accidents prevention.

In General Chemistry, we only have theoretical classes, but in Chemical laboratory techniques we have theoretical and practical classes; the classes are divided into two parts: the first is a cathedral class and, in the second, we use to go to the laboratory and make some magic.

I really like all my classes, because there are very interesting things to learn!

An expert on your field

One of the most incredible woman of all the times is Marie Sklodowska, aka Marie Curie. She had discovered developed methods for the separation of the radioactive residues from elements and using them for therapeutic uses. At the age of 36 years old, she won the Novel Prize for Physics with her husband.

I think that Marie Curie is a great example for everyone. She lived in a society where the man was everything, and if a woman could do more than them, there was a problem. Despite of the difficult of the era, Marie Curie grew up and become a big scientist, taking a lot of important positions in scientific institutions, winning many prizes and acknowledgments like two Novel Prize, for Physic and Chemistry, having honorary scientific, medical and law degrees, and she had written a lot of great papers: Recherches sur les Substances Radioactives (1904), L''Isotopie et les Élement Isotopes and the Traité' de Radioactivité (1910)for example.

And like a curious fact, Marie Cure has written the most important doctoral thesis in the human history.

Really, I wish to be like her, when I grow up.
