Post # 12 (last post!): A brief essay
At last, the final session! This time, you will have to write a brief essay on the use of technologies within the different subjects you've studied this year (Review/opinion).Your essay should have the following structure:- Introduction (100 words)- Body: 2 or 3 paragraphs (200 words)- Conclusion: (100 words)Useful Links & Tips to write your essay:- Basic guide to essay writing- How to write a brief essay- Practical tips to write a brief essayOnce again, enjoy your writing. And good luck to you all.


The use of tecnology has been very helpful in different subjects i've studied this year.
I studied about eight subjects, but i'll write only on the classes i liked.
I think that for me as obstetrician technology is very necessary to perform my job.
Obstetricians do a lot of things apart from make delivery. They do other works like educate, family planning, birth control, baby care, and care of the mother among others.
And to do all of this things, we need the use of technology in many cases.
And this year, the matters more related to my career for me are anatomy and embryology.
So I will explain how technology supports these areas.

Anatomy is a subjcts that helps you to learn how to locate different strucures of the human body.
And as health professionals, is very important for us to know for example how are located blood vessels and nerves. Because we will have to apply injections, anesthetize and administration of serum on users.
You can study anatomy with radiographs, magnetic resonance,
computer programs, sonograms, and all these types of technology are used to know were are exactly the structures under study.
For example, with a sonogram you can see how is the womb of a woman who wants a baby and if she has a pathology, it will be detected immediately in the image.
Indeed, teachers showed magnetic resonance in the class to show the location of organs, large blood vessels, ans muscles.
In embryology, the use of the microscope was the principal means of studying. Now, there are different staining techniques to observe embryonic development.
So, you can see from fertilization until the embryo is a fetus. With this you can study the processes in theory and then see them in practice.
These staining techniques are very useful to know how limbs develop in the embryo, and process like the ossification, formation of the placenta, and shape of the fetal organs.

In conclusion, this year, we learn all that we have studied with practical work.
Because in them we used all types of technologies to enhance the learning.
And in the area of health, technology is the main tool for detect pathologies in users. And in our career, the sonogram for example, is the most used to see how is the baby inside the womb.
And if there is problem, can be prevented in time by health professionals.
So, I can say personally, that the technology used in class, were very helpfull.
Now I have the theory and practice part of this subjects, so i will remember all the things that I learned this year.

Post # 11: Challenges in your discipline.
Write about important challenges your discipline is currently facing, connected to each of the following areas:- Technology- Social Matters- Education- Define the challenges- Say how you think they should be resolved in each case- Mention the critical issues involved in each area- Word Count: 350- Leave comments on 2 of your classmates’ posts.

I think that as obstetricians, we have a lot of challenges connected with different areas.
In technology for example, there are many ways to do an ultrasound. Because you can get images in 2D or 3D (two or three dimensions), and with this you can see if the baby comes healthy or not.
You can see with this how is the baby, which is their position and if there is any development problem and see the opportunity to save him.
And for the mather there are many ways now to have his baby safely and without abdominal scars. So, today womens could be satisfied with their bodies and keep going a normal life after the delivery. And this is because, with technology have increased the prevention measures and the importance of the aesthetics. Womans now can use after a delivery a bikini for example, cause the scares aren't as great as before. In fact, actually there is laser surgery that prevents the scars on the skin.
If we talk about our challenges in social matters, we as obstetricians have the opportunity and the responsibility to guide the community in several respects. We must guide the community to have a healthy sexual life and to prevent the diseases (STDs). This will avoid the abortion or the misbirths and promoting the life.
Other challenge is the economic situation of the mothers, so now in the primary health centers there are many benefits to them. The obstetrician besides make birth control, give woman the opportunity to talk with a social asistent. Mothers can have dental benefits and milk delivery.
And in education, this professional can teach the community in things like:
- family planning
- disease preventions
- The use of birth control pills
- The correct way to breastfeed
- The correct way to use condoms
- The correct use of contraceptives

So i think that as obstreticians, we have many areas connected with the education, technology and saocial matters to do god things for the community. And it will depend of how we do the different changes to improve health care.

Post # 10: Improving your faculty
This time you have to write about your immediate environment: your faculty.Develop your ideas as you answer these questions:1. WHAT IS THE CURRENT SITUATION IN YOUR FACULTY?2. WHAT THINGS NEED IMPROVEMENT?3. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FIRST STEPS TO DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION?4. HOW WOULD YOU RESOLVE THIS SITUATION?5. WHAT COULD BE THE REAL BENEFITS/IMPACT OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS?6. NEXT STEPS & FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS.Number of Words: 250 - 300.Don’t forget to make comments on 2 of your classmates’ posts

My faculty it's very big, it has two gyms, and a lot of classrooms and auditoriums, three sports fields, but it has only four grassy places. So , when you want to be outdoors with your friends at the lunch, it is difficult to find a place couse, they are all occupied.
In general, the faculty has many parts for study, like library, classrooms, auditoriums, and laboratories, but, grassy places are necessary.
The benefits of this are:
- That in the summer is very nice to sit down there comfortably because it is very soft.
- You can go there to talk something important that you don't want the others to listen.
- If you have a hard test you can go there to study and nobody will distract you like in the library.
- You can go there to lunch without unpleasant odors as there are in the casino.
- You could go there to sleep, and relax under the shade of a tree if the environment is so warm.
- As an outdoor place, you can smoke if you want in a comfortable way and without the concern if other person don't smoke.
- You can play a Futboll match whith your friends, and have falls not so painful.
- If you want to sharing with your friends, you can go there with things to drink and with a good guitar to sing without bothering anyone.
- And of course, as a university student, you can give there the welcome to the new students called "mechones".

But, all benefits have a cost, and if we will have in the future more grassy places, as a students of the university we must care these areas doing things like throw the garbage where it belongs: dumps. This is very necessary to maintain the grass in good condition and to prove that as young people, we are environmentally responsible.

Post # 9: Hobbies
Write about your hobbies and how they have helped you shape your personality. You may use these questions as a guide.- What hobbies do you have?- When did you start doing it/them?- what kind of skills do they require or have you developed in relation to them?- How do you think these hobbies have contributed to shape / develop your personality?- Do they make you get in touch with other people, or do you develop them individually?Write between 300-350 words.Leave comments on two of your partners' blogs.

I have different hobbies like: to play music, to do sports, to dance, and share.
But, my first hobby was to listen songs and then play them on guitar only by ear, not using accords, and things like that. I remember that, when a started to play guitar, I was 15 years, and my classmates needed somebody to play any instrument for a presentation at school. So, I offered to play guitar and to guide the instrumental for the song.
The presentation was great and my friends and classmates were so happy with the results.
The music joined us as course and with the years, we perfected enough the interpretations of songs.
Apart from doing this with my classmates, I was part of a duo with a friend, from the same course, and we always sang in school and family activities in general, like bingos, parties, coffee concerts, and thins like that.
This contributed much in develop my personality, because, you need to be sure of yourself when you'll get on a stage. So this helped me become more outgoing and daring to do things like sing, or talk in front a public.

I really liked that time so much, because, with my friend or with my classmates sang a lot of special and beautiful songs with a passion that know it's only in our memories. So for me and my friends, it's very nice to remember that time when we get together occasionally.

Another hobby that I had at school was cooking. I remember that all weekends I cooking something sweet like pancakes, cakes, lemon pie, tartlets, or cookies.

After that I went to the Santiago University of Chile and studied BS in physical activity for two years. At that time I wasn't clear for what I really wanted to be professionally. But, with this career I took conscience of how important it's to do sports for health. So, now, I’m studying obstetrics, but despite the hours of study I do sports four or five times a week. Depending from weather and my health I do running or ride a bike. This helped me to appreciate and take care of my body as a woman. And to concentrate more on the things I do, with energy and motivation to not give up despite the weaknesses that could appear on my way.
So, now, to do sports, play guitar and pass a good times like dancing or share with friends are my favorite hobbies.

Post # 8: Holiday destinations (with mark)
Write about the kinds of places you like going to in summer.- Refer to a place visited by you in the past, where you had a great time.- talk about your plans for the next summer holidays; where would you like/are you planning to go?, why?, what can you do there?, Who is going to travel with you?, where are you going to stay there?, etc.- write between 350-400 words.- leave comments on two of your classmates blogs.Enjoy your writing!

Hello, today i'm going to write about my holidays.
In the past, i was going to Linares, Talca with my family. We were there for many years because the place was so fun and beautiful, it had an hotel with a lot of rooms, and two pools, one was temperate, and the other was outdoors. It was a place for relax and enjoy cause it had many things to do, like horseback riding, dance fun, pool games, barbecues, tours, partys, and of course, the food. This last thing was the best, you can eat all you want cause it worked like buffet at the breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Over time, we stopped going there because my father preferred going to the beach, my brother and I wanted to go to other places and my mother began working.
Besides, my friends invited me to Isla Negra, a beach between "The Kisko" and "The Tabo", and we stayed there for two weeks at the summer in a friend's house. So practically as a family we left the travels for a while.
After that, i get started to work, so when summer arrived i had money to go out. I remember that the first time i worked i wanted to backpacking with my ex boyfriend. He had worked too, so we plan to go to south and visit all the places we didn't know. That summer, we took a bus to Puerto Montt, and then we started to hitch on the road. It was so fun because we did'nt wait so long when a van stopeed and led us to Chiloe. Then we were to Valdivia, Pucon, and so many places.
The last summer, i backpacking too, but i were to "The seven cups" in Molina's way, Talca. We were there for a week, and the enviroment was so beautiful , all around it was nature, woods and rivers. It was glacial water, so the colour was crystalline and blue. It was a great experience to me.
For this summer, first, i want to work and make some money to go to the beach, or backpacking but this time to the north.
I hope that this year i make good money to travel at the summer, but, before, of course, i have to pass all my University's subjects.

Post # 7: summary of a career-related article from The Guardian
Go to: http://www.guardian.co.uk/- Select a news item connected to your area of studies / future career.- Write a summary of it. DO NOT COPY-PASTE or you'll lose points!- Provide the link to your piece of news.- leave a comment on 2 of their partners' posts.- Write 200 - 250 words.

Hello, today i'll talk about the truth about sleeping with baby, and if this action is or not in accordance with the science.
The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) and the Department of Health indicate that mothers should not to : breastfeeding their babies in the same bed, and sleep with them.
As obstetrics we must to educate the community about how breastfeeding in the correct form.
And according to this article that i found in this link http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/oct/16/sudden-infant-death-syndrome-children; the safest place for the baby when its the time to sleep is the cot. And of course, when the mothers want to breastfeed their babys, they must to wake up them, pick them up and sit in a comfortable chair. This is the correct way of breastfeeding, and when this action ends, mothers must to put their babys back in the cot and let them sleep alone.

Why we need to repeat strongly this message??
The British Medical Journal which FSID made a study and find that the 50% of all the unexpected deaths of newborns in the south-west of Englandhad died because their were sleeping with the parents or carers.
And the most worrying of this situation it is that in a survay the 25% of mothers said that they dont knew that bedsharing could increase the risk of a cot death.
So we can conlude that in this cases, the mothers don't had the experience or they simply didn't have the correct education of how breastfeed correctly.
So as obstetrics, we must to promote campaigns. For example, according with the article, in the 90s, the number of cot deaths decreased markedly after a campagns about dangers of bedsharing with babys.

Post # 6: a sporting life
Today you have to write about the importance of sport:a) for individuals, andb) for a nation.Use these questions to build your ideas:- do you practice any sport or physical activity? what benefit do you get from it?- what impact may sport have on a country's health?- how would you encourage these people to do more sport: children, teenagers, adults?- do you think that we will have better sports people in the future? Is there a genetic factor or is it social or training that make a sportsman/woman of excellence?Write between 250-300 words. And leave comments in two of your classmates' blogs.

I practice a lot of sports, like bicycling, running, aerobic, pilates and fitness. I like very much do this sports, cause, they relax me and take my mind out of the daily routine. And in the University I really need to disconnect from all the world of test, classes and boocks. So i often get to the gym 3 times a week and at the weekend i go running near my house, by one hour generally or a go bicycling to the San Cristobal hill.
The benefit i get from practice sports are a lot, for example:
- Every day i do sport i feel more energetic and motivated to do anything i want.
- I don't get tired so fast with things like climbing stairs, dance, runn, or anything that has to do with physical effort.
- I can eat all what i want, without a charge of conscience, but obviously with carefull, it's not the end of the world to eat all i find.
- As doing sports makes me feel more energetic, i can study 3 or 4 hours and after that take a rest to going on.
- And of course, i have I lost weight.

On a country's health the sport could have a very positive impact, like: give greater longevity, reduce obesity in the population, make people care their bodies. This could down the percentage of diseases and improve the labor efficiency in adults, and the concentration capacity on childrens and teenagers. Of course, the impact on teenagers it could be very positive, cause it would regulate the concentration of hormones, for example, decreasing acne and the accumulation of fat.
I think that if the parents motivate their children to do sports, in the future we will have better and more sports people.
Cause it isn't a thing of have the best genetic, or have the best body, or the optimal muscles, it's about conscience, culture and motivation to have a better health and lifestyle.

* Mention any other points you think are important.

- Leave a comment on 2 of your classmates' posts.
- Number of words: 200 - 250

HI EVERYBODY!!
today i will tell you about my favorite transport of all in my ocuntry!!
yeeeeees, the famous transantiago !!
and, afortunally, for me, it wasn't a change too heavy.
But. i recognize that before this change, the buses had longer tours than now. This point, was for somebodys good, and for others bad. Because, it could lead you from Maipu to Las Condes, in my case. So in one bus, i could travel to one commune to another, and without the need to change to another transport.
But, it could take you one or two hours, because the tour wasn't direct, and it had a lot of laps.
Now, for example,to the same route, i have to take 3 kinds of transport, two buses, and the subway. And doing this daily , you end the day so tired of up and down buses, take the subway, and again up and down another bus to get home. But, after the time, you begin to accustom.
The good thing, it's that :
- whith this way of transport takes less time to reach somewhere
- The buses are bigger than the previous
- You pay with a Bip target, so the people lose less time to up
- The assaults to the drivers had decreased
- You can take three kinds of differents transport paying only one passage

So this are the goods, things, that i find better than the old system.
I think that, we need to change our attitudes than the same kind of transport. Because people makes that the subway for example, becomes dramatic. With the pushing, impatience, and the angry.
But, if this attitudes change, the transport system could be better. I think that our country needs more cultur and patience.

Post # 2: A country I would like to visit
- Which country would you like to go to? Why?- What do you know about it?- What would you like to do there?- Would you like to study/work/live there? Explain.- Make comments on 3 of your classmates’ posts- Word Count: 200 words

I would like to go to a lot of countries. Like Egypt, London, Germany, Greece, Brazil, and maybe to Japon.

But, i think that if in the future, i can travel outside of Chile, the first country i would like to know, it would be Egypt. I have seen so many movies filmed in that country and i find it so beautifull, because it has great pyramids.
I had seen many reports about history, and always show this architectures.

I don't know if i would go there to study or live, because I find this country better to go as a tourist. To enjoy the enviroment, the places around, and all the beautiful things it has.

Another country that I would like to go is Brazil, because it's very close from Chile, and you don't need so much money to travel there. I would like to go to Rio de Janeiro if i can. A friend of the school went there long time ago, and she took a lot of pictures from the city. We were so impressed with the landscape, the public transport, the beaches, and the places. And of course, with the carnival. She told us that this event, was the best of all the things she saw.
The dresses, masks, dances, lights and music, mades she feel a great happines to be there.
So If a go there, i will do as a tourist.

My First Term

Post Nº 1 (second term): summary of previous exp.
FIRST TERM: GOOD AND BAD POINTS:Write about your experiences during the first term of 2009.Describe:- the relevant things you learned/studied- the sports and free time activities you did- the challenges you had to face- Others (family, friends, etc..)- Write at least 200 wordsWhen you finish, visit 2 other blogs and write appropriate comments, for example if you had similar experiences, or if you felt the same as your classmate.

My first term was full of activities, like, studying, doing sport, going to parties, going out with my boyfriend, and, working too.
It started with the welcome of our clasmates and the university.
I remember that we have six courses, biology, chemistry, fisik, math, physics, and others about nursing care and things like that.
I needed to study every day, because, all weeks we had controls and those marks, will help us for the exam. In fact, I have very good marks, so i didn't do the exam. I can say that it wasn't lucky
because i really study, so i was very happy and proud of myself.
Besides my studys, every week i went to the gym. I like very much to do sport, so i can't be studying every day in the university without a physical activity.
So, mondays i had fitness, wednesdays dance, and fridays pilates.
After do sport i had classes, some days, i go out of the university at six o'clock. But, with the physical activity i was always very healthy and with energy to study.
I ate and slept well to not get a cold. So i didn't miss at the university in all the semester.
Another thinks i did last semester was work. I worked every weekend in a call center. It was very light because, i nly worked the saturdays in the morning, so i have time to study and get out with my family, friends or my boyfriend.
Sometimes i went to partys or discos in the night, but it was once a month, because with the university's activities i really finished the week so so tired. So when i had birthdays, of my firneds, or special celebrations, i went to partys at night. The other weeks I went to see movies, at the cinema, or did other things.

Well, those were, all the activities, that i did the last semester, and i am so happy because i passed all the courses with very good marks.

Post # 11: my blogging experience
At last!!!Write about your blogging experience.- Did you enjoy it? Why? Why not?- Did it help you improve your English?- Give your opinion of the advantages and disadvantages of blogging in the English class.Minimum 300 words

I will be very honest, there are days, that i really enjoy of blogging in the English class.
Those days, were when the post was funny, like comment about your favorite picture, or about your profession. For example, there was a post that i don't remember the number know, but i write a lot of things that i thought. It was the post of my future, about what will i do in five years more. And i really was very excited writing this. Because, i want to do very things in the future, so i write all that i thought at that moment.
But there was other days, that i was so tired and i didn't want to write. My brain was so tired by the study every day, that when the English Class came, i didn't have the capacity to write well.
There was very fridays, that my mind was in blank, and this made more difficult to think about what write.
I think, that blogging, its very fun, because, you can order what you want to write, change some words, and explain what you want. But on friday this was very complicated because, this is the last day of the week, and personally, i'm very tired. I study a lot every day, so for me, freday, it's the day i need to relax, and don't thing more than i thought all the week.

So, in conclution, i can say, that this are the advantages and disadvantages of blogging in the English class:

I think that blogging in class has advantages like:
- Express all the things you are thinking at that moment
- Change the words, or look for the correct way of write them
- You can order your thoughts before write them

And advantages:
-You can't discuss your opinion, whit somebudy, because, none is reading what you're spelling

POst Nª 10: your ideal job
Say:- What your ideal job would be- What qualities and skills you would need to do this job- Why you would be good at this job- How difficult it would be to find this kind of job200 words, and comments on at least 3 of your classmates' blogs

My ideal job would be what i'm studing right now, obstetric, maybe with time and experience, i would work in another cities, not here in Santiago.
The week before this, i see on TV, a program of how the health professionals work toghether as a team in southern Chile.
I don't remember very well, were was this exactly, but it was in a little town of Puerto Montt.
It was a very rural place, people living in mountains, caring animals, chickens, cows, and obviously they didn't have an hospital or a clinic. So, the medical group, worked in a small house, using it as a consulting room. It was no easy, because, they had to wake up early and carry al the things that they need to examine the patients. After that, they had to walk like an hour to arrive at the consulting room. Because, they worked in two places, one, in the town, where they was living, and the other at the consulting room.
I like this kind of job, because it was very human the treatment with patients.
It wasn't places with a lot of people like Santiago, o another city, so, the treatment was more warm and individual.
The medical group was forming by one nurse, one obstetric, one dentist, and one female doctor. This four women, were serving the comunity of this place with an attention that i've never seen before. It was very nice to watch how they transformed that small house in a consulting room with a few beds and tables, and of course with a waiting room.
People was accustomed to be served by this womens, an in this house, they like very much how this medical group was caring them.
I think, that here in Santiago, we have for example, all the tecnology to cure diseasses, and to be prepared. But the default of this, is that a lot of people go to the consulting rooms, hospitals, and clinics, but often, they don't have the personal relationship that they would like. And this happens because there are a lot of people that the medical group must to see or examine, and obviously, they needs to be very fast.
So. i hope that in the future, can have a good relantionship whith my patients and give them the best service.

Post # 9: Your favourite subject
What is your favourite subject this term?Who teaches it?Why do you like it?What have you learnt this semester?150 words minimum please.Enjoy sharing your thoughts and preferences with peers. Write, write, write.

My favourite subject it's embryology. My teacher it's Miguel Concha, and i like it because he is very quiet making the class. He answer all the question we make, with a lo of patience, and obviously he knows very about this process.
This semester i learn the development embryonic, beginning with the fertilization in the women.
Every week the teacher makes a control about the class, maked before. So we already know how the embryo grows inside the female reproductive tract, how his arms and his legs are first, like four little fingers and how the organs are forming.
It's very entertaining and beautiful this subject - matter, because it makes you understand why the organs have this destribution, and how they arrived there.
I really like this subject, because yo have first the teoric class, and after the practical part.
I think that the practical part it's very important to understand even more the teoric class.
So you don't forget what you learn whith this strategy, because, you study for the test, and after it, you can see under the microscope the embryo development or touch some molds of organs in embryonic stage, i think that is the best to learn.
I really like this subject, so i hope to have good results after the exam, because, it shows that i really learn.
Well, that is all about my favorite subject, i think that, as a good obstetrics, you need to know very well, how the baby gows and how the embryonic development occurs in the correct form.

I read abaout a doctor called Víctor Manuel Gazitúa Guzmán, in the magazine, Chilean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The article saids that he won the best prize of clinical work during the 2006, by the Chilean Society of Obstetric and Ginecology (Sochog).
This work consist in features of weight, gestational age, and kind of delivery of newborns in the public and private system.
The investigation was maked in the Guillermo Grant Benavente Hospital of Concepción and the French Clinic of Concepción, Chile.
This work allowed to install the University Center of Woman, whose duty is to educate the community, especially womens about the natural delivery.
The objective is to promove this kind of delivery, and this way decrease the high rate of cesarean deliverys in the country.
The award ceremony was maked on July 17 of 2006, in the German Clinic. There were all the winners of clinical works presented during the 2006 for the magazine, Chilean Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
I think that the cllinical work of the doctor Víctor Manuel Gazitúa Guzmán it's very important to prevent any complications on delivery. It haves the advantage of promove the natural delivery and educate the womens to have this fisiological process in a healthy way.

My Career - Obstetrics

I like this career because i love the babys, and i really find very nice and beautifull what this professional do. I think the pregnancy it's the best experience that a woman can have, beacuse you will have another life inside you among 7 - 9 months, a life of your children.
We, the obstetrics, contribute to society in very aspects:
- Teaching the mothers the tools to care their babys
- Technics to use anticonceptives
- Tools to be more healthy in the pregnancy
- And be a soport in every moment of this stage.

In this area, we need, a lot of tools to make in the future. One of them I think, it's the pacience, and the empaty. Because, you need that the mother trust in you, and ask you everything about his situation to be okay.
And the other thing you need, are the implements that a hospital have to find all the signals that can indicated you a pregnancy.

My favorite subject it's biology, because, you can learn all of the human body, the diseases, an the fisiological process that give you life. If you learn well the subjects in the class, you will be a secure professional because, you will know what to do in a critical situation.
