How green am i?

Well, now that is a theme of world concern (maybe because now the global climate change has affected a big part of the Earth) there are a lot of places where people can learn about environmentally friendly practices. But I think that the most important part of this learning is the family one. What parents can teach to them children’s will be determinant for the future habits of those children’s (if these habits are good for the ambient or not depend on it). 

In my family there are not much recycling habits, just one: recycle the oil. But I guess that is the minimum, I meant, most of the people know that throw away the oil by the dishwasher can contaminate thousands of thousands of liters of water, right? So in my house we do what all people should do: put the used oil in a bottle and then throw it to the rubbish. I don’t use a car (in part, because I don’t have a license), I actually walk a lot, if the distance are least that three stations of subway, I walk (for example, I walked since Puente Cal y Canto subway to the college). 

I didn’t join to any eco-organizations; I think that I can do the same by my own. The problem won’t be solved by making some manifestations, I meant (and sorry for the pessimism), the most of the people doesn’t hear it or supported (the most even know what it’s happening in the world right now). I think that talk to the people and convince them to change is the best to do. That is what eco-organizations make, and I can make it in my house, in my college, and wherever place. I will like to make an organic garbage (in the Society and Culture UTE teach us how to make it) because I haven’t reduce my carbon footprint in any way and that’s a good way to do it. In Santiago, the most important thing that is pending, is about drive policies. There are a lot of cars in the town! 

My Future Job

I always say that my vocation is help people (I inherited that for my mom, who is a public worker since twenty years ago, and she loves to help people, she says ‘’the gratefulness are the best gift on this world’’), and as the dentistry is one of the areas worst cover in the Chilean public health, I decided to study odontology. But that’s no exactly my ‘’perfect’’ job (I meant, who can love being inside of others mouths?), I will like a job where I can travel a lot and without a really demanding schedule (I guess that all people want that). Definitely not in an office; I know a lot of persons who work in an office (almost all the day) and they are really stressed people! I won’t like that for my future. The only way that I can tolerate being all the day in an office is work for some daily or a literature magazine where I have the liberty to write articles about themes of my interest.   I haven’t thought of which major I will take yet, I don’t even know about what are some of them, so I can’t bow for one right now. But I think that could be orthodontics, because my mom always says me that there is a looooong waiting list for that area in the public health. 

Practice

1. We think that compulsive spenders are a problem of our social system because, that is the message that all of us resived during all our lifes, and some people is more vulnerable, to all this signals.

2.- Nowadays, the most common problem between dentists are the overpopulation of their colleagues, so could be difficult find a stable work.

Summer Plans

A great summer requires a lot of money. Well, not necessarily, but for ambitious and curious persons like me, who likes to travel a lot and know new places, the cash it’s essential. So, my first plan for the summer it’s get a good job. No so demanding, in a good schedule, a couple of weeks, and with good salary.  After collect the necessary money, I will go to the south of Chile hitch-hiking, by a month. In that time (a month) I hope to travel by all the parts of the south that I didn’t knew last year, that are the X, XI and XII regions of Chile (Los Lagos, Aysén, Magallanes). I will like to go with my friends, but so far, I think I will go alone, because almost all my adventurers friends are students of Universidad de Santiago, which this year go of holidays in February, so by now I’m trying to convince others friends who aren’t so adventurers, so it’s a little difficult that they want to go. But in the ‘’worst’’ of the cases, I don’t have any problem with go alone. After that great travel, I will spend some time with my family, I don’t know where yet, but we always go a week or two to some beach or town. Finally, I will like to spend the last days of my holidays in my grandma’s house. There is a big forest behind it, and I like to get in there and just walk.

PET Practice - Session 1

11.-    The most challenging skill for me is the vocabulary one. I think that I can talk really well in english  but with a very reduced vocabulary; y just use the most common words and phrases.

   2.-    The vocabulary one and also the reading 1. About vocabulary I already explain why in the previous question, the reading 1 was a little bit difficult because the fact that it has alternatives, confuse me a little.

   3.    The easiest skill was the listening. I think that  talk in english and listening it’s something that I can do without much problem, but like I already said, my vocabulary is not really rich
