MI english experience

This semester, in the english course, I started to write in english, I never had wrote in english, and was a very good experience for me, because this help me to practice more the writing in this idiom. In the start, to do a blog was very difficult for me, but with the time I can write more quickly. Also I achieve extend my vocabulary in english and of this way can understand other things in english in the moment of read.
In general. I think that the experience of write in a own blog was very good for me and for all the course, because with this we are accustomed to work of other way, and now, maybe we are able of understand more thinks that before, we extended our vocabulary and the written english is more familiar for us.
Also from writting I had to learn to search information in different web pages in english, which before of the course cost me very much.
As soon as the advantages, this are the previously mentioned, and I think that the disadvantages can be that never we recieved the corrections of the blogs written, which is very important for can improve in the next blogs and dont to err in the same.
My suggestions for the next course are, sometimes, make groups of work that can investigate more about a topic of interest to students, and write about it, of this way, the blogs would serve also for theirs career and would learn a most technique language.

My ideal job

Since I was very young, I dreamt work in the health area, I wanted to be the best doctor and can heal to every children in the world.
Now, that I study physical therapy, a career relationed with the health, my dream continues, but today this are more realists.
My dream in five or six year is to work in my own clinic, with a team of physical therapists, they especialized in differents area of the physical therapy, in order to our clinic can offer a complete service for patients. Also will be very interesting that our clinic could be associated to a traditional clinic, because, of this way, these clinics or hospitals won't collapse and the patients derivated to physical therapy can receive a better and more especialized attention.
In this place, I would like to work with all kind of patients, but especially with childrens in the area of rehab.
Also I would love to work in a public hospital, cause I think people there has more difficulties to get access to a good health. In public hospitals, I would like to work in respiratory area cause in Winter, childrens have a lot of diseases caused by colds and viruses, making hospitals collapse with breathless childs which can't pay for a better service.
I hope I could work in both places. It means, these places must be near eachother and has differents work turns. This way, I could help people and make money for myself.

Is it a men's world really?

In antiquity, the society was very different that now!, in this period, the man was the only with a important role in the society. The men worked outside of home, in different professions, while the woman, she stayed in home and performed all task here, for example, cook, clean, wash, iron and care to children. Generally, only men received salary by his work, and the most of the homes were mantained for they. For this reason, the woman was not considered very important in society in any aspects.
However, little by little, the woman has been obtaining most importance in the society, because now she no only is worried of task in her home, the woman has fought very much for her rights and with this, she has achieved be most valued.

Now, both men and women have very similar roles, the woman have most opportunities for study and she can developed some professional career. The woman can work in different places and the works that before was considered only for men, today the woman also can performed them.
Also, the society slowly has over with the discrimination to woman and with this each day there is less social differences and the world is for both men and women equally.

Foods

Of all foods, there are very few that I don't like. For me, the most of the foods are very tasty...

My favourite dish is the Lasagna! but I eat in few occasions. Also I like the sweet foods, as the ice cream of raspberry and chocolate, the pastry, the cookies, the chocolate, etc. This are my guilty pleasure. I would eat only that jaja, but lamentably, this foods aren't good for the health, therefore I try don't eat so much sweets.
Also I like the fruits very much, I eat many peaches, apples, orange, watermelon, grapes, depending on your harvest time, but my favourite fruit is the strawberry, and in this case, the fruits are foods very healthy, for its high vitamin content, and are fundamental in a diet.

For other part, there are others very important foods in the diet, for example, the proteins (as the meat, eggs, etc), the milk, the vegetables and carbohydrates. All foods named previously should be part of a healthy diet in different proportions. Thus be a normal growth development in children and a healthy life in any age.

In contrast to previous, also there are types of foods called "junk food", that, despite being very savory, and very consumed for the people, this are very bad for health, causing many diseases in society as obesity and hypertension.
