Session 10 (week 13) >> How Green Are You?

To be environmentally friendly you just have to try having a lifestyle that is better for the environment. Basically, try to think in the planet and people who inhabit it. People learn about environmentally friendly practices in some schools, looking government campaigns on internet and at home. But the last, it depends of the each family and them customs.  

In my case, my family and I have incorporated recycling into our home. I think it´s not enough, but we have starting for something. We try to conserving water, driving less and walking more, consuming less energy, don’t smoke and we separate waste according its type. 

Also, I prefer walk and use public transportation instead drive in the week. This way, I help to pollute less. 

Until now, I didn’t joint or supported any eco-organizations. But I really like Greenpeace and when I finish the university and work, I want to support it.

Everyone has a responsibility to reduce their individual carbon footprint, and there are lots of ways to do so. I do it trying to eat less meat, don’t wasting food, recycling, only using the lights I need at night and buying energy -saving products.

In our society, we missed the idea of caring our planet and we just think in get more things. Santiago is completely consumer. People don’t care about anything or anyone, just think in themselves. But this is a really great mistake. One day, we are going to lost everything, because the only thing important in the life is the planet. We need to survive just the water, air and the sun. 

Session 9 (week 12) >> MY FUTURE JOB

I would like to have a job like dentist, specializing in oral rehabilitation or surgery 

for helping people with oral issues because they had an accident. 

That is the reason because I am studying odontology, and then I should specialize me at the university too. 

I imagine it in an emergency room of a hospital sometimes and other days just in my own dental practice.  

I think it will be a little stressful but at the same time very comforting. 

Maybe if I pretend work in a hospital, this will not happen in Santiago, because it is very difficult when you pull out of college and have no experience.

I want to work in other sides, but before to work in another country I would like to work in my own country a couple of years. I think that if you want to help people, you have to beginning in your own country. 

After it, I want to travel a lot.  Meet different countries and I will like to go a poor country to work as a volunteer, but for does it; I need to save money first!!! 

I know it is going to happen, because I am going to do my best effort! I just have to wait for it! 

Practice

*Unit 4 "Facing problem"

* Unit 5 "Financial Matters"

Write a short post saying the scores you got at each Quiz and answer the following questions:

1. What do you think about compulsive spenders?

We think that compulsive spenders are sick people and they are increasing the last few years. This issue is because the easy access to buy even people don´t has money. And the capitalism and consumerism promote it, because people think that is happier when they have more things.

People focus more on consumerism and waste rather than investments, there are no saving for the future and their family.

2. What's the most common problem a Dentists face along their career?

The most common problem is the expensive cost of the dental materials. So when you are begging your career after to finish the university, you don’t have enough money to pay them.

Also the dentists have to have the abilities to know how to treat the different patients with their personalities and costumes.

People consult dentist to find out improve the cosmetics appearance of their teeth and they are not interesting to improve caries problems and dental health. 

Session 8 (week 11) >> SUMMER PLANS

This summer I´ll go to “Torres Del Paine” a national park. It`s located in Chile´s Region XII.

My boyfriend bought the plane tickets for us about 1 month ago, and we left Santiago at the end of January. And we returned the third week of February. So we are ready with this part.

We decided go to Torres Del Paine because too many people have told us that It´s an extremely amazing experience and we love trekking and the nature.

We plan to travel 20 days approximately. The airplane arrived to Punta Arenas and we are going to stay just one day over there to get ready and rest. Immediately the next day we are going to beginning our trek to glaciers. It`s going to during about 1 week. After it, I want to go to Argentina.

To do this trip, after finishing the university year period I´m going to work very hard during Christmas period, new year´s eve and some days in January. Because It`s a very expensive travel and I need to buy suitable clothes.

During the trip, we will be only us. But we have some friends who go on the same date. So I suppose we are going to share some time together.

To conclude it, I expecting to have too much fun and take too many pictures about the trip. I am pretty sure I am going to have a really good time with my boyfriend J
