My experience with the blog

I had never had a blog or written things about me on any website, I think it has been a good experience, because it has helped me to think about the things I like and to know myself better, although it has been difficult for me because sometimes I do not know what to write or how to start and also I am very undecided, so I do not always have something favorite, because I like many things and it is hard for me to decide what I am going to write about. I think it is a good tool to express what I think and what I like and also know my classmates and know what they like or what they think about my blogs. Commenting the post has also been a good thing, as I read the posts of my classmates and I realize that with some we have tastes or experiences in common and I like to read what they tell me, although I have not had much time to get into the blog and answer the comments they make me. I liked it, it has been a good experience to write blogs and I think it is a good tool to evaluate stud...

Grape leaves

The grape leaves are an arab food that are made mainly of rice, meat and grape leaves, this preparation takes time and requires a lot of technique for it remain well armed, first the rice is mixed with the meat (it can be with ground meat or mince) and then put an open grape leaf ready to be filled with the mixture of meat and rice, the grape leaves have to be fresh and tender (young leaves), these when they are stuffed have to be closed in a particular way so they do not open when they are cooked.  I have never prepared grape leaves 100%, but I have helped my mother when she makes them. My mom makes many types of Arab food, but grape leaves are my favorite, especially the ones she makes, because the ones I bought in Arab restaurants are not very good. I am a vegetarian four months ago, so I can not eat the traditional grape leaves anymore, but I can do it if they are prepared with soy meat, although I have not eat them yet, I think they would be very similar and I would no...

INIA

A website that has helped me a lot to do jobs and tasks is the Instituto de Investigación Agropecuaria (INIA) which is a non-profit, private law corporation linked to the Ministry of Agriculture of Chile. The objective of this website is to generate and transfer knowledge and strategic technologies on a global scale to produce innovation and improve the competitiveness of the agri-food sector. This website is very good and useful, because it is free and has a lot of information that facilitates the search of data for the realization of work, this is special for students and professionals related to the field of agronomy. Today we have an increasingly globalized world, which makes it essential that research institutions should be connected to a network of national and international links to not be left behind the scientific and technological progress that characterizes the current era and for this cooperation and international linkage that INIA has made has been a fundamental acti...

My Favorite Writer

I don’t have any favorite writer, but I do have favorite topics I rather read like cientist topics, such as, articles, books, papers and magazines, some of the writers that I most like is Darwin and his book the Origin of Species which I will explain later. Charles Robert Darwin was a naturalist and biologist known for his theory of evolution and the process of natural selection.   He was born on February 12, 1809, in the tiny merchant town of Shrewsbury, England. In 1831 he embarked on a five-year survey voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle; his studies of specimens led him to formulate his theories. In 1859, he published his landmark book, the Origin of Species. Unlike most of today's scientists, Charles Darwin's fame is based on books. Darwin reported his observations, explained his ideas, and amplified his thinking in ways well beyond the contemporary expectations of science. Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the co...

The Story Behind the Photograph

I always wanted to visit machu picchu and in February of the current year it became a reality. For the summer holidays we made a trip with my cousin and a friend to Perú and Bolivia for a month, one of the destinations was to go up to Machu picchu, this was the most exhausting experience I had because we had to walk three hours under the rain and then climb 1700 steps to reach the entrance of machu picchu and finally 100 steps to reach the top of the mountain, after that we climbed a higher mountain than Machu picchu called Wayna picchu which has a height of 2667 meters above sea level. Despite all the physical effort that involved the climbing, it was a unique and wonderful experience where we could see all the beauty of the natural landscape and the history that there is in that place, it is a wonderful experience and I fully recommend going to Machu Picchu.

My Favorite TV Series

I don’t have a favorite series because I like several, that's why it's so difficult to decide for one. But the ones I liked the most are breaking bad, black mirror, merlí, among others. Breaking bad is about a chemistry teacher who has cancer and starts making methamphetamine to be able to leave his family with money, it is very interesting. Black mirror is a different series from the rest, because each chapter is different from the other, they don’t have continuity between them, each chapter is like a short film and the similarity the chapters have among them is that they all have a relationship with technology and the future . It really leaves you a lot to reflect on. Merlí is about a philosophy teacher who has a different way of teaching and in each class leaves a life teaching for his students, it is a very emotional series, full of feelings. Did you see any of this series? 

My Favorite Technological Device

My favorite technological device is my cellphone, because with it I can do many things, like chat with my friends, do homework, read texts, take pictures, listen to music, watch movies and series on netflix, among other things. I have a lot of social netwok apps, for example, facebook, instagram and whatsapp. Instagram is one of the app that I like most, because I can post pictures and look pictures and videos that my friends publish, also I like to look at memes because they are very funny. WhatsApp is a very useful application to communicate quickly and effectively with people, you can make groups of several people to be able to agree to perform activities and this makes it more practical and effective.  I think the cellphone has been a very useful tool to be able to communicate quickly and talk to people who are far away from you.  Thanks for reading.
