Decriminalization of abortion in Argentina

Hi! Today I’m going to write about something that happened last week in Argentina, this country took the first step towards decriminalizing abortion. On June 14, the lower house of Congress approved a bill that would legalize abortion in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. The bill was approved by 129 votes to 123 and it will now go to the Senate. Argentine President Mauricio Macri said he will sign it if approved, even though he is personally opposed to the proposal. Mariela Belski, Executive Director of Amnesty International Argentina said:   “New legislation could end a vicious circle where women have no option but to risk their lives, their health, and their freedom if they are sent to prison. Classifying the legal termination of a pregnancy as a crime has no basis in international law,” Currently, Argentina only accepts abortion if there is a risk to the life or health of the woman, or in cases of rape, but the bill completely decriminalizes abortion up to 14 weeks of...

An interesting animal!

Hi! Today I am going to write about an animal that I find interesting, it’s the dolphin. Dolphins are found almost every ocean in the world and in some important rivers. They prefer temperate zones and avoid very cold waters. Their habitat varies according to the species of the dolphin, there are more than 30! And it also varies according the access to food. I think that the dolphins are very interesting; they are one of the most intelligent animals. The dolphins communicate with each other through different sounds, it is even said that they call each other by names, I think that is fascinating! The dolphins are marine mammals and they stay with their mothers for 3 or even 8 years, that is a long time. Another interesting fact about dolphins is that when they are asleep, one part of their brain remains alert and awake to keeps them safe from predators and to breathe while they are asleep. The dolphins usually have around 250 conical and sharp teeth, but the number of te...

A photograph that I like

Hi! Today I am going to write about a photograph that I like. I have a lot of photographs that I like, but I chose this photo because it was taken in a really fun and happy moment. It was last summer, when I traveled to the South of Chile with my boyfriend.   This photograph was taken by me, it is a selfie. It was the first day we arrived in Puerto Montt. We were exhausted because we had spent about 13 hours in a bus and we didn’t sleep well, but we was very happy to be there, we had waited a long time for this trip. I know we don’t look very good in this photograph and it doesn’t really show where we are, but I like it because it reminds me the good vacation we had in the South of Chile, we knew many beautiful and amazing places and we ate a lot of delicious kuchenes.

My Dream Job

Hello! Today I'm going to write about my dream job.  In my life I have imagined myself working on many things. Since I was little I liked to observe the sky, I was always interested in stars, planets and everything related to the universe, that's why I used to imagine myself as an astronaut when I was a child, and when I grew up, as an astronomer. But after a few years, I also became very interested in mathematics. In my first year of university I decided to study engineering, but soon I noticed that this wasn’t the job I wanted. I wanted to study something that could help people and something entertaining for me, that's why I started studying dentistry, a part of this work seems to me artistic and I like that a lot, this is my dream job. It is a generally indoor job; the work is in a health center or in a private practice attending patients. This work doesn’t involve traveling, but there are many interesting conferences in different parts of the world t...

Friends

A friend is a person we can trust, a person who knows us, someone with whom we can do stupid things or talk about what we feel or what we think and we always feel comfortable together. I have friends that I see almost every day; they are my friends from university. We lunch and study together, we spend our free time in university together and sometimes we go to parties. We help and support each other and that is very important for me. They make going to university more fun. I have friends I haven’t seen in a long time, but they are still my friends, because we know we can trust each other and if someone needs me, I‘ll be there. That is friendship for me, we can see each other every day or once a month, but we know we are still friends, that don’t change. My best friend was my classmate at school. I haven’t seen her in a month, we are both very busy and we can’t see each other as much as at school. But we lived many experiences together. When we meet, we always go to t...

My favorite technology

My favorite technology is my laptop, because it makes my life easier and because we can do many things with it. I like it because I can use it wherever I want. I usually use my laptop to study, read books or papers at my desk and when I have some free time, I use my laptop to watch movies or series in Netflix in my bed or on my couch. Also, I like it because I can sort my files in folders and I can easily find them and read them when I want, I can save sheets of paper because it is not necessary to print the files. I think it is a necessary technology, because it helps us to save time, for example, when we want to do an investigation, we can find the information that we need on the internet with our  laptops . We don’t need go to the library and it is not necessary for us to carry big and heavy books, because we can have it in the  laptop . I’m not very good with technology, I just do basic things in my  laptop , but it is so useful and...

A great concert experience

Imagen
In November of the last year, I went to the Bruno Mars concert with my sister; it was in the Estadio Nacional. Bruno Mars is a singer, composer and a really good dancer from the United States. Some of his more famous songs are “Just the way you are”, “The Lazy song” and “24k Magic” from his last album. The concert started at 21:00 hours, but my sister and I went to the stadium about 17:00. A lot of people were waiting the concert many hours before the start and some people ran to be closer to the stage when the doors were opened. The people were very excited waiting the concert, we all expected a great show and it was. It was a hot day and a long waiting, but the concert was amazing, Bruno Mars sings even better in live and he and his dancers did an incredible show. Me and my sister sing and dance all the songs. When the concert ended, we was very happy, it was an amazing and really fun night.
