my favorite subject in this semester!!!


Hi folks, in this post I wrote about my favorite subject, I have 7 so I have a choice. Although all of them demand me time, one of the subject that makes my life easier (sin ser chupa media jajajja) is English, apart from the fact that I like very much to learn the language I like the dynamic that exists and that the teacher has the idea that learning English must be to communicate, more than doing it perfectly.

In this level (English 3) we reinforce what we have learned in English 1 and 2, orally and in writing, I have English twice a week and what we do is: on Thursday we connect via zoom to communicate orally with the teacher telling something about us, or have a casual conversation, always in English. On Fridays we have to upload a post on a specific topic with some requirements such as word limit, and items to write, this to reinforce our written English.

All of this, helps me to finish my career with a good knowledge of the language, because one of the areas that have my attention is research, which has as a requirement the good use of it.

A great scientist!

I had a little trouble choosing a topic for this post. But it's impossible to forget one of the first scientists I heard at school, and her great impact on the scientific world, and she's a woman.
Marie Curie was born in Warsaw (Poland) on November 7, 1867. Her mother died when she was 10 years old and she had a difficult childhood.

She was unable to enter university just because she was a woman, which made her desire to do so even stronger. At the age of 24 she moved to France to study and three years later she graduated in Physics from the University of Paris and was number one in her class.
In 1898 she and her husband Pierre announced the discovery of new elements: radium and polonium, both more radioactive than uranium.

In 1903 both received the Nobel Prize in Physics, being the first woman to win one, and in 1911 she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. She died in 1934 because of the radiation to which she was exposed.

I like her because although she and her husband made the same discovery, at the time she didn’t have the same recognition as him, until he died. And it is incredible to think that what happened more than 100 years ago is still happening. Women's work has always been looking at less, but definitely that is being eradicated and I love being part of this process.
