My Experience Learning English

The languages corresponding to a verbal or gestural communication of a human community itself. They allow us to express ourselves efficiently so as to form and establish personal relationships that are inherent in the conduct of a person.

English is a language originating in northwestern Europe, which belongs to the Germanic branch of Indo-European languages and was developed in England, released from its origin in the British Isles and many of its former overseas colonies. This is probably the third language in the world in number of speakers who are native speakers and the second most spoken if there are also those who have it as a second language.

If I remember several years ago, could say with certainty that my knowledge of English was limited because it did not interest me to learn and also because I was difficult, which could also be a consequence of the former.

Over time, the English began to make sense in my mind and I think I owe it mainly to two things: music and reading. First, because since my teens I hear English bands that somehow their songs have made me learn in a dynamic and second, because the extreme fanaticism of some things I did read information in language that was.

In this way, now I find it easy to read texts in English which is actually quite useful as the University there are several subjects, which provides texts in English. I can also understand them better and in many songs previously only heard whisper nonsense.

Also I think it was a great help in this subject that we did write a blog, because then I would put into practice all the skills and knowledge I have acquired in the language. Although I still feel that I have many weaknesses, particularly in what is "listening" and oral talks.

I believe that life is very important to learn other languages, because that way we open a door (and many windows I have to say hahaha) to new opportunities, experiences and adventures (you never know).

I must say that my interest has grown to learn languages (I'm learning Japanese) so I'd love to learn French if possible.
On the other hand I feel that the country still needs to be done on this issue in education, because if properly taught English to children from small, they may have many more opportunities and paths to choose in your life.

Christopher Nolan

Hello, today I talk about one of my favorite film directors: Christopher Nolan. He is a British-American film director, writer and producer. He’s best known for writing and directing such critically acclaimed films as Memento, the remake Insomnia, the film adaption The Prestige, Inception, and rebooting the Batman film franchise.

In my opinion Christopher Nolan is one of the best directors of recent years because it is able to mix his originality and the film called "blockbuster"to form a quality product. Among his films are my favorite Inception and the Batman franchise, because the first mixture a world so exciting and interesting as are the dreams with intrigue and action and was able to do with the second, something that many directors never able to achieve and only ridiculed the character and history. The Batman that Nolan us is so dark and intriguing that neither is compared with that presented Joel Schumacher, a totally ridiculous and insipid.

I also like that Christopher Nolan working with actors such as Michael Cane, Christian Bale, Leonardo Dicaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (I love him) or the great Marion Cotillard. In this way makes movies with great quality and make us go immediately to the movies to contemplate.

I hope that in the years to come, he did not disappoint me and keep making movies as great as those already created.

Stem cell clinical trial aims to combat nerve damage in human tissue

Hi! Today, i talk about of this article.

The idea is inject embryonic stem cell to a patient with a damaged spinal cord. The trial was accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration in January last year, and actually is being organized by the biotech company Geron in California.
The patient with damaged spinal cord was treated on Friday in Atlanta, in a centre of the company Geron. Doctors hope that stem cells injected directly into the spine will help repair the damage to person recovery some movement. Fourteen days later, patient will be injected with living cell that are precoursors of a kind found in the nervous system.
There was test in animals that indicate that injections with stem cells improve their movement and they can walk after sustaining an injury.

Throughout the test, doctors monitor patients for see if you are recovering a sense or are able to move parts of the body affected by injury.
The doctors commented that when they began to research , many thought it would take several decades before this therapy would be approved for use in humans.
The trial had problems with religious groups because the cells are derived from spare embryos created at IVF clinics but doctors said that trial is safe and the investigation was acepted by all the organisms.

The director of the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine at Edinburgh University, said that although this is very exciting news, it is important to note that the goal of testing is no harm to the patient instead of seeking profits, and after obtaining the results, the focus can shift to the development and evaluation of new treatment.

Stress

First, We must understand that the strees is a natural reaction of the body where it operates a series of defense mechanisms to cope with a threatening situation. This is necessary.
This defense mechanisms can conclude, by certain factors, causing serious health problems. When this natural response is given in excess is an overload of stress affects the body and causes the appearance of diseases and pathological abnormalities that prevent normal development and functioning of the human body.

The general symptoms of stress include:

1 .- Prevalence of sympathetic nervous system. It produces such peripheral vasoconstriction, tachycardia, etc.
2 .- release of adrenaline and noradrenaline, cortisol and enkephalin.
3.-Increase in blood glucose, clotting factors, free amino acids and immune factors.
This occurs in order to increase chances of survival in a near-term threat.

A constant stress can cause problems to the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and the immune system.

How to deal stress:

One way to combat stress is through breathing exercises so that we can voluntarily control breathing, and treating it as calming a stressful situation.

On the other hand it is also important to organize the activities we perform, so we do not have extra concerns. If you have problems is important to talk to someone you trust to not carry them alone. It is also essential to perform regular exercise to improve basic physical condition and also release tension.

From a psychological point of view arises mainly in the control of emotional distress, as well as harnessing the resources of our body. Besides all the above named, electrical stimulation, acupuncture or audio analgesia are alternative techniques for dealing stress and its consequences.

Levonorgestrel

There has always been a discussion around the levonorgestrel, that whether or not abortion. Therefore to take or not a position on the issue is necessary to know.

Levonorgestrel (or I-norgestrel or D-norgestrel) was rated as a anticontraceptive or contraceptive emergency (also known as " Day-after pill "or "morning-after pill ") available for prevent pregnancy during the first days (no more than 72 hours) after having unprotected sex.

It has been suggested that hormones used this, changes occur at three levels: inhibiting or disrupting ovulation, interfering with fertilization or transport of the embryo to the uterus, or inhibiting implantation in the endometrium.

The abortion is defined as the interruption of a pregnancy, whether spontaneous or induced. For some, the use of Levonorgestrel, is abortive as it interrupts a possible life, whether at the stage that is (in intercourse, ovulation, implantation, etc). For others it is simply a method to avoid unwanted pregnancies that borders on the limits of their morality. This will always depend on to be considered as life or that if it's okay or not to interrupt.

In my opinion, Levonorgestrel is not an abortive method, because for me to stop fertilization or implantation is not synonymous to terminate a life, so it should give people free choice to choose within the options that suits you most according to their beliefs and moral.

The soundtrack of my life

Since my childhood I have been surrounded by music. My mom since she was young she sang and played guitar, so many of my childhood memories have melodies and songs in the background. If I have to name some of the authors of these songs, would Violeta Parra and Eduardo Gatti, among others. As I was growing up, tried to define the type of music I liked, and as in the 90's Pop was so popular , I could not resist listening to Backstreets Boys, Britney Spears, Nsync and others. As a teenager I found what I really identified, which was more focused on a non-plastic Pop, rock, folk or indie bands also. Moreover, as I like Japanese animation also met many groups, so that the J-pop and J-rock also part of my music collection.

Coldplay is one of my favorite bands since they have been present at many key moments in my life, reflecting the time he was living or the other, showing that I am not so alone.I also like bands like Amaral, Athlete, Snow Patrol, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, The Killers, Muse or singers like KT Tunstall, Fiona Apple, YUI, Regina Spektor and Jorge Drexler. The last two will give concerts in Santiago soon to which attend.I think one of the most important reasons why I'm always listening to music is that for me, this is a way to heal a lot of pain or joy to have in life, when it can be in tune with our soul.

Wuthering Heights

Hello!
These days, I'm reading Madame Bovary but I have not finished yet, I prefer to talk about Wuthering Heights, a book that I was read in the last summer. This is the only novel by Emily Brontë and was first published in 1847 by a male pseudonym to avoid the prejudices about women writers.

As I like love stories, a friend who lent me Pride and Prejudice told me I should read Wuthering Heights, but unlike the first, this is a book with a very stormy love story where the author expresses a great rawness and realism in every passage in the book that really make you feel like the character.
The story deals mainly with his friend Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, and a love that could never be fully expressed due to social differences, which really was not much problem, but mainly in my view to the fickle and conceited character of Catherine, which catapulted a number of negative situations to their relationship that could easily have not happened. On the other hand, Heathcliff with a proud nature and somewhat resentful, decided to act impulse and spiteful, altering not only the direction of his life if not also of the rest.
In my opinion, this is a great book that deserves to be read not only by those who like love stories, if not that everyone who is attracted to human nature, its character and problems that sometimes leads.

I hope you liked this post about this great book and read it! really won't be disappointed :)
