BLOG 10: EVALUATION OF YOUR BLOGGING EXPERIENCE

Hi, classmates and teacher, I talk to you about my experiences in this course,

In the school, I do not have a good teacher in English, she just made us solve guides and she never explained the subject, for that before starting this course, I had a very poor vocabulary, pronunciation and a basic grammar;  and so in general, writing this blogs improved theses aspects. About the blogs, I liked write concerning my hobbies, my likes (series, movies, music), learn more about my classmates and topics related to our careers, but on the other hand, there were a bit boring topics, so it was difficult for me to have an idea, as the topic about a web site related with our career.

I think that a good way to improve the course is that after making the blog, we could read it to our classmates, so that we can improve our pronunciation and practice how to speak before an audience; you know what I mean, avoid nerves or avoid scenic panic. Also I think that we could write about a trip, our experiences, which we went with, anecdotes, what we liked most and things like that. 

BLOG 9: MOVIES AND SERIES

Personally, I’m somebody who likes watch series and movies, my favorite kind of series are medical and criminal like solve murder cases or incredible medical cases, you know what I mean CSI, Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident and Good Doctor.  Nowadays, I discovered a new series, with a different theme than the rest; this series is “LUCIFER”.  

This series is produced by Tom Kapinos and it is based on the DC Comics character. It currently has 4 seasons and the last one is in filming, each season has about 20 episodes with duration of 45 minutes each.

The principal character is Lucifer Morningstar (interpreted by the actor Tom Ellis), he is the Devil and he comes from the hell to take vacations in Los Angeles (L.A) with his best friend Mazikeen Smith, who is a demon. On his vacation he opened a exclusive bar called “Lux” and a other hand he meets a detective, Chloe Decker and her daughter Trixie. Lucifer helps the detective to solve murders, owing because of their power in people to tell the truth. 

I like this series, because I love the funny moments, the soundtrack and the sarcastic attitude of Lucifer.

BLOG 8: A SUBJECT I ENJOY STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

To be honest, this semester has been difficult for me, in the academic area. I had to get used to a new rhythm of classes, new teachers, new classmates, new subjects and a higher level of difficulty in evaluations, but the subject that I liked the most was chemistry laboratory, because it is the only practical subject this semester and it has a lot to do with what we will do as professionals.

In each class, the teachers gave us an introductory class and then in the laboratory they explained how to do and assemble the practice topic, so as not to make mistakes. Also we had a different topic each class, from learning the names of the most important materials like balance, funnel, volumetric pipet, beaker, buret ;  preparing chemical solutions with different concentrations, extracting properties of an orange peel and knowing the different techniques of distillation of a liquid to obtain a pure solvent. On the other hand, I am very grateful to the teachers and the assistant, because of them I learned new things and they were very kind explaining, despite questions more than once for the same topic.

BLOG 7: A CAREER-RELATED WEBSITE / AN EXPERT ON YOUR FIELD

Hello classmates, today I am gonna write about  Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleyev who was a Russian chemist, traveler, photographer, collector and an important person for the chemistry. He was born on February 8th, 1834 and died on February 2nd, 1907, at the age of 72 years because of pneumonia. He studied in San Petersburg University and years later, was a  teacher of technology and chemistry in the same university. 

His greatest discovery was the pattern, in what is now known as the periodic table of the elements, an invention of great utility in the sciences, especially in chemistry and physics, the elements are grouped according to their atomic weights and valences. In addition, he intuited that there were still elements to be discovered and for this reason, there were gaps in the table, he pointed out the properties they should have. 

I admire this person because he contributed to a great development in the sciences, facilitating the study of chemistry for the people and giving way to others, discovered more elements.

BLOG 6: FAVOURITE SUPERHEROE, ANTIHEROE OR VILLAIN

I don't like the comic so I don't have a favourite superheroe but I searched one, "The Captain America" , his real name is Steven "Steve" Rogers, he was born on July 4th, 1922 and was created by the cartoonists Joe Simon and Jack Kirby.

In the beginning he was a weak and fragile man, that is why the American army was reject him,  but he did not give up and he participated in a top secret experiment for to contribute a better physical performance, this proyect was called "Operation Rebirth". 

After that Steve become more stronger, resistant to pain, agile, fast and for all this things, he became known as "The Captain America". 

The most representative thing of this superheroe is his indestructible shield, it is made of Vibranium , that is a metal of extraterrestrial origin. When he fight throws his shield at a great speed and this is able to return to his hands. 

In the cinema this superheroe is interpreted by Chris Evans and I like this actor, so I saw the movies only for him, that is the reason that why I like Captain America.

BLOG 5: A PHOTOGRAPH

I do not really like the photos, my parents always tell me that I must smile in our photos, it is very annoying. On the other hand I do not have a critical opinion when I see one of these, but I searched the internet for something that would call my attention.

I found this photo, titled "Lucky Strike", was taken by the professional American photographer Greg McCown on Saturday, August 8, 2015, in Tucson, state of Arizona. He said in an interview that it was very difficult to capture this moment, it took him more than seven years. For me it would be very difficult to be a professional photographer, it requires a lot of precision and work, I really admire his works. 

I like the photo because is about a rainbow and a ray together, it is something really incredible, since people think that they are characteristics of opposite climates, like the winter and his storms and summer and his rainbows after rain.

BLOG 4: FAVOURITE MUSICIAN

I am the type of person who is listening to music all the time, it has become a habit, but  the kind of music that I listen to depends on my mood of the day.

Anyway I like so much R & B music, it's a mix between jazz, gospel and blues, and it is  a very relaxing and addictive rhythm.

One of my favorite musicians is Bruno Mars, is an American singer and his real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, was born on October 1985 in Hawaii. The first song that I heard of him is The Lazy Song, in 2011 it sounded everywhere.

In general, I like him because he has interesting music videos, he always dancing and have a smooth and sexy voice.

My favorite album, is "24 Magic", and I recommend listening to "Versace On The Floor", it's my favorite song of Bruno, below I leave the link
