“Hachiko, always at your side”

One of the latest films I've seen is "Hachiko, always at your side". It is a drama based on real life, it´s about a man who has a dog called Hachi, this man, he´s a teacher, every day he went to work and Hachi was going to leave the train station and every evening to the arrival of the train was going to find, but one day this man gave a cardiopulmonary arrest and died at work. But this dog goes every day to look to get the train, but his master never appeared, yet this dog followed his master waiting for nine years and a day dreaming about the arrival of his master dies in the place where it always expected. Where today there is a statue of this dog, in your honor.

This movie is very sad, I cried a lot with this film, but it is highly recommendable, so they recommend, it's nice to see how it proves the adage that a dog is man's best friend.

Other films that I find very good, are: "They are like children", “My sister's wedding", “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “Remember Me”, etc. I actually really like the movies, watching movies is one of my hobbies.

Every time I talk about movies with someone I remember a joke I once heard and those I love to share with you, it says: There was a time a “huasito” said: - See what it took to say "películas" to the "piliculas" and now called "flim" jajaja.

My experience learning English at the Faculty

My experience of having learned English at the Faculty was very rewarding.

When I went to school, in English class, we did activities of the books assigned for each course and the tests were most grammar and writing activities that listening. At school we conducted almost no activities related to listening to recordings, our teacher doesn´t speak English all the time and sometimes listening tests included, but were very few. That is why I never thought I would have this class of English in the university.

Firstly I thought this would be different, that this would be as the other subject, which we should write in the class everything said by the teacher, but this wasn´t so; here, in the university, is very different, because the first class that we had were very different, because in this class we make much activities, we developed several guides that help us at learn new words, at the most important is that we learn words related with the area of the health, with our carrer. I think that this is very important, because is help us at increased our vocabulary and with this, we can speak more fluently and speak of different topics, we may communicate with each other.

Another benefit that brings us learn more about this language and especially in these instances, since we are doing work for which we need information from trusted sources, and most of the information we require is in English, and learning more about words conjunction as the field of health, helps us better understand the papper that we have read in our careers.

I think that way of teaching and conducting classes, doing activities, exercising and listening to recording in English It is a great way to learn to understand better when you speak this language and to speak with others in this language.

For me this experience has been really good. When I finished school, I had a very poor English, here en the university I learn a lot more, specially learned to understand better when someone speaks English and listen to what my partners say English, but I recognize that this is very difficult for me, I think that I don´t have abilities in this subject and all the people I know in this area will agree with me. But despite this I loved to have had English classes in college, I think it would be great to implement it for every careers.

Myths about the Human Brain

Hi everybody!!!

I´m going to discuss the presentation of Dr. Maldonado on Tuesday last.
Dr. Maldonado spoke about the myths about the human brain and its functioning, the myths referred to by the doctor were

• “The human brain is very different from other brain of other animals”
• “Every brain function is localized in a specific place”
• “The brain works just like a computer”
• “The brain main function is to represent the world around us”
• “We use 10% of our brain capacity”

As we develop each myth, was denying the very dynamic and entertaining.
Finally, with very well-founded reasons the doctor denied all myths, for example in the first myth: "The human brain is very Different from Other brain of Other Animals", the doctor explained by the differences and similarities photos of the human brain with brains other animals like the whale, with which was very similar, however when comparing the human brain of a marsupial, they had many similarities, the doctor explained that the human brain is different from the brains of other animals the size and characteristics of the crust.
When referred to the third myth: "The brain works just like a computer" showed us with some differences like that is a lie, for example:

Computer ---------------------------Brain
- Linear operation ..........................Parallel operation
-Sequential.......................................Simultaneity
-Localized memory ........................Distributed memory

With these examples and some very entertaining activities It clarified many doubts I had about this topic, I think this activity was very successful and rewarding for our future and growth.
