A healthy lifestyle.

Hello classmates, today I’m going to talk about one topic that is very relevant in the modern society: How can we live a healthy life?

Nowadays one of the main problems in the society is that we don’t live a healthy life because of many factors like: Fast food, the people don’t play sports and we stay at home when we have free time. I believe that this is very worrying because the people are not giving the importance to live a healthy life and this situation has very disadvantages like the risk of suffering obesity and diseases related to the heart. It is very worrying to see a Mac Donals on every corner of Santiago and the people eat in these places knowing that what they are eating is not healthy food. The government should make projects to inculcate the people to have a healthy lifestyle.

I believe that it is possible to have a healthy lifestyle but it depends on the person. I am very lucky because thanks to god my parents inculcated me since I was a little girl to play sports and I think that it helps you very much to be in physical good condition. The parents are fundamental because they teach us what is really good for one and they warn us about the bad things. The food is crucial to have a healthy life and stop eating fast food too.

I have played volleyball since I was 8 years old, It’s the most beautiful and fun sport of the world. I believe that this sport is one of the prettiest things that have happened to me. It helped me to have more confidence, more empathy with my partners and the most important thing: to have a healthy lifestyle.

Well that was it,
Have a nice week classmates.

Childhood



Hello, today I will talk about one of the things that I most remember of my childhood.

I have been recalling what I remember best of my childhood holidays with my family. When we went to the beach I was always more interested in what I could find in rockpools than the sands or going in the sea. My mom used to say me: “Andrea, take care of yourself or you’ll get hurt”.

My Dad used to drive me and my family to beaches of interest in the area and I know we went to Bahía Inglesa, for example, but for me what I remembered the most and enjoyed the best about the beach holidays, were being able to find all sorts of strange animals in the sea. Once we found a starfish with my brother and played with it the whole evening until it died, it was really amazing for us. I have to be very honest but one of the beaches that I love with all my heart is Playa Blanca, I think that it is the most beautiful beach in the world.
One of other things that I remember is that as soon as we were returning to the house, my mom was preparing a hot chocolate for us. Also I remember that we built sand castles with my brothers, they were so beautiful that my father bought ice creams for all of us as a prime.
Well, that was it.
Have a nice week, Kisses.

Volleyball




Hello classmates, it’s been a long time. I hope that you have some very pretty vacations. Today I am going to talk about one of the things that I loved to do in my life. Well, since I was 8 years old I played volleyball every single day. It’s the most beautiful and fun sport of the world. I started to play in the school but then I played in some clubs to improve. I played in the club of the catholic university and the Stadium Italian.


Last summer I played an international championship in which different countries of the world came. It was a very good experience because it helped me to play much better. I didn’t enter to a club last year because I was studying all day to enter to a good university like the University of Chile. Sometimes I think that was a bad decision but I believed that it helped me to be able to study what I really wanted.


I believe that this sport is one of the prettiest things that have happened to me. It helped me to have more confidence, more empathy with my partners. At the beginning I was a very selfish person but when I started to play volleyball, my personality changed.
Well that was it, Have a nice weekend.
Kisses!

See you next semester.


Hello Guys,
I’m extremely sad because today I’m going to write my last post. This has been an excellent experience because it’s really nice to write in English, I enjoy it very much. I think that this experience helps a lot to learn more about this language that it’s very important because nowadays everyone in the world speaks English, It is considered like the universal Language.

I enjoy a lot to write about different topics because it’s very interesting to know the view of the people about topics that concern all the society. It was really interesting to write about the stereotypes in postmodern society. I’m very happy because I though that as soon I was going to enter to the university I was not going to be able to write in English.

I suggest that it is more interesting to speak about things that we are interested because in this way we speak more in English cause we are writing about topics that we loved. Also in this way we can motivate the students to write in English. Writing posts help me a lot because like this I don’t forget this language and the grammar of it. This way of learning it’s very effective. I think that the best way of learning a language is to writing it.

Well that was it,
I hope to see you the next semester.

My Real Job


Hello classmates,

Today I’m going to talk about one of the things that I love that is my career. To be sincere I didn’t want to study physical therapy, I wanted to study theatre but last year I rejected the idea. I chose physical therapy because it is related to one the things that I most like in the world which is sport. Since I was 10 years old I was related to sports, I played volleyball every single day. Last year I was thinking which career was related with my interests and one of the best’s options was physical therapy.

I imagine myself working with athletes because I love the environment of this area. We can notice that this area inculcates you values as: effort, loyalty and perseverance. I think that the life of an athlete it’s very complicated because in a country as Chile, the sport is not considered very important (With exception of the football). I would be glad to participate in the area of sports giving support and happiness with the rehabilitation. I dream myself having a clinic only for athletes; I think that I will be happy forever if one day I have it.

Like I say before I want to be related with the sport area of physical therapy. First I want to be an employee but then I want to have my own clinic. I will work all the time that it requires because I will be doing what I want since I was 18 years old.

Well that was it.
I hope you like it because it is very important to me this topic.

Education




Hello people!

I’m very happy today because as you know Chile won today. It was a very dramatic game; I think that Mark Gonzales should have played the whole game, he plays very well.

Today I’m going to talk about some ways that physical therapies can use to help individuals, families and the community. I believe that the major importance has not been given to the injuries that we can suffer in the future; we only care about the things that happen in the instant. I see my grandmother and she falls too much so I think that a solution to that problem can be to teach to do the movements with major efficiency. In that way we could anticipate injuries to the future that they could be catastrophic in case of the adult. I think that the government should adapt mechanisms to have fewer adults in the hospitals and also we can anticipate possible accidents. In some places we could apply these mechanisms: neighbour’s meeting, meetings of major adults and in programs related to the health of the government.

I think that the physical therapist should join to this activity in order to teach in the correctly way the movements that the major adults have to effect.

We as professionals of health have to be compromised with the community and help the others. The health system of this government does not make the best use of their resources so I think that they should use the money to inform and promote preventions of diseases.

I hope you like this post, I did it we all my love.

Society


Hello,

How are you? I hope you are fine. Well today I’m going to talk about the society.

Nowadays the society is very equal that means that the roles of the woman and the man are in balance. For example: It is very usual to see the women working all the week, providing the money to buy the things of the house. I think that situation has been very difficult to men because they were accustomed to provide the money to the family.

Actually, the world has been giving the opportunity to women to develop in the labour area, that is one of the main reasons that the stereotypes in the post modern society has been changing.

Today there is no difference between women and men because the women has achieve a very important role in the society that it is not only related to the housework, it is related to the economy and politics of the world.

Michelle Bachelet it’s a very representative example of the transition of the female role because she didn’t want to stay at home cooking to the family, she wanted bigger things and one of these was the power of her country.

I hope you like it very much!
Kisses.
