Blog 8: A subject I enjoy studying this semester

 Hi everyone, I hope all of you have a great long weekend.

Today I’m gonna talk about a subject I enjoy this semester and that it’s “architecture and earthquake”. In this class we talk about the properties of an earthquake, the effects it causes and the different types of systems that we can employ in a structure to resist earthquakes.

This subject is really interesting because in Chile it’s important to make buildings to resist earthquakes because we have the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. These tectonic plates in the moment they interact, by the process of subduction, with each other produce earthquakes.  Another theme that I enjoyed in this class was to learn about “The San Ramón fault” because it passes near where I live. This fault crosses through the districts Vitacura, Las Condes, La Reina, Peñalolén, La Florida and Puente Alto. The fault is a vertical ground displacement and generally it is activated when there is an earthquake. 



I really like this subject because I feel wiser and more prepared for the future in my career and I like it too because the teacher of that class is a very good teacher. He can explain the theme in many ways if you don't understand the theme and he is for your disposition if you have any issues with the class or at home.


See you next weekend ! :D

    The fault of San Ramón is very worrying, I found out about it from my professor of methods and practices of urbanism this semester.

Blog 4 English IV: My pets

Imagen
  Hello everyone!  Today I'm going to talk about my pets and my boyfriend’s pet. In all my life I have had 4 dogs and now I just have one, regrettably. First of all I had a German Shepherd called ‘Igor’ . He was with me from when I was 3 years old to 16 years old when he died because he was too old and he was in pain because he developed different health problems because of his age and we decided to euthanize him. It was a difficult time for all of us but it was the right thing to do for him.  Five years before Igor died we got a new dog, it was a poodle, and my brothers and I called him ‘Pipo’ and he was my favorite pet of all I had because we were so close to each other. I spent a beautiful time with him until one day my neighbor’s dog killed him. It was the worst time for me because I thought that I was going to be with him till he goes old but it didn't happen. Pipo Two years before Pipo died we got two German Shepherds, we called one ‘Dinka’ and the other one we call...

Blog 7 English IV: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
  Hi, lovely to see you again!  Today I’m going to talk about the changes I would like to make to my study programme. I’m studying architecture in the university of Chile and actually my career has 5 years and a half to finish it. The first change I would like to make is upgrading the buildings of the faculty because the rooms are so cold in winter and so hot in summer and that is really uncomfortable. The reason for this situation before is for the high ceiling and the composition of the walls, but the trouble to fix these buildings is that they are heritage buildings… so it is complicated. The best solution for now is to put an air conditioner in the classrooms.  The second change I would like to make to the study programme is to put an obligatory class of physical education in all of the semester because with that way all the students can be healthy and the physical education help to release stress and this is really good especially in this career. The third change I w...

Blog 2 English IV: The best Holidays ever

Imagen
  Hi guys!  Today i’m gonna talk about the best holidays I’ve ever had in all my life. This holiday was in February 2020. My triplets siblings, some friends and I went to Coquimbo-La Serena, celebrating the end of the exhausting semester of university (especially me because my semester lasted a lot). We went on a bus to the city and we stayed at the house of a friend.  Wetland - “El Culebrón”   The main idea was to stay there for 2 weeks but at the end we stayed 3 weeks because we had some great moments, like visiting the “Culebrón” wetland. It has a lot of ducks, dragonflies, and different types of birds… I took a lot of pictures of that moment but my sister has all the pictures in an HDD and she is not with me now… so I can't post my own pictures, sorry. Also, we went to a pub-restaurant called “El muelle” and they served 1 Kg. of french fries with different toppings and that was amazing and delicious. I highly recommend that place if you can go. The pub-restaurant...
