Last Blog

Hello everybody! Hope you are well. Today I'll write the last blog of the course. Using blogs to learn english was new to me, as I had never had a modality like this before. I think it was good and interesting. It helped me to improve my writing and reading. Also, it was fun to read my classmates' blogs, they have very good stories and ideas hahaha. It was also interesting to read the teachers' blogs to get to know them better. Regarding my english skills, I think what I need to practice and improve the most is my listening comprehension, especially when I listen to a native speaker, they speak very fast and it's hard for me to understand their words sometimes hahaha. I also need to improve my verb conjugations when writing, as I sometimes confuse verb tenses. To improve in these aspects I usually watch series and movies in English and pay attention to what they say and how they pronounce each word, although I still watch them with subtitles. And to improve my writing, ...

Changes to my study programme

Hello everyone, in this blog I will write about changes I would like to make in my career. Regarding the curriculum, I would change those subjects with a very industrial and economic focus. I would incorporate a more social and environmental approach, which would provide solutions to the problems of the same type that exist today. For example, the conflicts of communities with companies in "sacrifice zones". Regarding the academic load and weekly study hours, I believe that these could be more limited. In addition, I believe that evaluations should be between 9:00 and 11:00, which is the time when we are most active (at least more than at 15:00, for example). I think our learning would be greater. Regarding the infrastructure of the faculty, I think it is barely sufficient. There is a need for computer rooms with good computers, for example.  Regarding the facilities provided by the faculty, I think there is a lack of practice sites on campus. Such as open nurseries where pla...

Time Travel

Hello everybody!!! Today I will write about time travel hahahaha it sound entertaining, right? I would like to travel back in time, to times when people were not yet destroying the world's ecosystems.  I would travel to different natural places. One of them would be the Amazon, with its impenetrable jungles and thousands of species.  I would also travel through the forests of Chile, from the north to Patagonia. I would visit the high altitude temperate forest of Fray Jorge in Coquimbo to see those big olivillos and canelos in their maximum expression. I would also visit sectors of the central zone with forests of roble de santiago, hualo, naranjillos and bellotos del norte. Obviously, I would also visit sclerophyllous forests with huge peumos and quillayes. Further south I would travel through the temperate rainforests with coihues, robles and ruiles of enormous dimensions. In addition, the ancestral araucaria's and alerce's forests, perhaps some of those that exist today a...

About my dream job, I think on one that allow me to go to differents places like forest, wetlands and mountains of differents countries, but always, with the liberty that I like. In this way, my dream work is one that allow my to study different species, from big trees and complete forests to a bird or mammal in a resctricted area. Obviously, my dream work it will be majority outdoors. From some month ago I have been really interested for birds of prey, so I want to work with them. I would like to study it ecology, from their diet to their breeding behavior. About the salary, I just want it to be a fair amount and to allow me to buy some expensive equipment, such as binoculars, spotting scopes, clinometers, among others. I would like to study a major in ornithology or some similar, because I want to be a specialist in birds of prey. In the nearly future, I want to make my first study in some species of birds ...

Forestry Engineering

Hi everybody, I hope you are well. Today's blog is about my carreer: Forestry engineering. The positive aspects of study forestry science is that this allow you to undestand ecosystems as a whole, and with us being part of them. This can you change your mind and your life style, being more conscientious of your impact in the world. Also, this carreer allow you to discover new wonderfull forests, some of the south, some of the coast, some of the mountain, etc. All of them have to much species richness and we need to value them, and protect them. Among the benefits of the carreer is the awake of your curiosity (at least in my case), this give you energy to visit natural places by you own and discover its hidden treasures hahahaha. A lmost for always I have been very intersted by nature and wildlife. When I was a child, I used to watch wildlife and science documentary. Because that, I wanted to be a scientist or something similar in the future.  When I had to choose a career to study ...
