My experience learning English at the university

Hello! How are you? Well today I’m going to talk about my experience learning at the university. At first I wanted to say that at school, I always where in the advanced level. My English professor teach us the Britain way of English, the best of all I think, we always had listening and writing test, and also comprehension test. I think that at school I learnt a lot of English, but also I learnt this language by myself, watching movies, listen to music and talking with people.

I think that when you are in the university, you need to know this language, because you are going to use it all the time, in case that you travel to another country, or when you patient don’t speak Spanish, or also when your make your specialisation.

When you are at the university, you are not going to learn English, you are going to increase your skills about this language, and learn to talk with somebody, with not scary.

Maybe as an advice, the students should talk more, doing activities in peers, or in group to learn the order and pronunciation of the words. And try harder, to learn to speak fluently. If someone is afraid because he or she don’t know the pronunciation of a word, the teacher should every time correct him or her. This is a positive thing from this term, our teacher always correct us. I think that English is easy, the only thing that you need is to like this language and to talk a lot!

I love English but I think that this course should be optional, or for people that don’t speak any word, because we can use this time for learn or for free time.

Well, hope that each of you has a very nice time and a beautiful weekend! Don’t forget to study. See you soon.

My professional practice

Hello everyone! How are you? I hope that fine. Well today I’m going to talk about the beginning of my professional practice. At first, I’m going to explain a little bit of this practice, we need to have a lot of basic skills related with the clinical attention, like knowing about how to take the blood pressure, temperature, pulse and things like that. Another important thing is to know about the semiology, the semiology is the interview with the patient, and it’s the time that you use to make questions to the patient and also hear what they have to say and the reasons why she came to visit you. This interview is very important, because with the information that you recollect, you can know or have an idea about what this patient have. Also it is very important to do and physical exam to prove the information that the patient gave you.

The first thing that the university told us that we need to be sensitive and helpful with the patient, because it is a person with feelings and it deserves a good treatment. Secondly we need to learn to hear without making any judgment, because we are only there to solve their problem, not to tell them how bad they do something. Thirdly, when we don´t know something, we need to ask and learn about our mistakes. And obviously if there is a problem that we cannot solve, we need to send this patient to another area, like to the doctor.

Well, my practice begins tomorrow, and I’m really nervous. My instructor will be there for all of us, to answer our questions and doubts. We are going to work with women who gave birth and with their babies.

I think that it will be a nice experience, because it will be our first contact with our future. Hope that you like what I wrote. Have a nice day.

My investment

Hello everybody! how are you? Hope that fine, today its time to talk about something interesting. Well i´m going to talk about my investment. The investment is a ceremony which gives students a uniform as a symbol of the beginning of medical practices. This ceremony was at friday night. Each student received a stethoscope pine as a symbol of our future profession. The stethoscope pine is an instrument that you can use to hear the heart beating of babies during the pregnancy, and also you can use them for hear the beat of a person´s heart. Our director gave us a speech about the importance of our profession and about the university. Some classmates prepared a dance with a beautiful song called "Alegría", the orquesta was there too, they sang "somewhere over the rainbow" and other songs, they sang very well. We were very nervous, but everything turned out well. We had to invite four persons, from family, friends, boy and girlfriends. The thing is that my family lives in Chillán, far away from Santiago, so they could not come. But I have the luck that i have my boyfriend here. He accompanied me all the time, he was like my little family and it was pretty nice. After the ceremony, all the families gathered to eat and talk about how beautiful it had been all. It was a pretty good time to share with my new friends, in this new city, having new experiences every day, just for growing up and become a mature person.

I think that it was a great time to join with my boyfriend, its really good to know that you always have the support of someone who loves you.

Well, hope that each of you have a pretty week. Have some fun and discover new things, and the most important thing peace and love. See you next time.
