Hello everyone!

If I can visit a country will Japan because I´m interested in the culture ancestral Japanese, such as histories the Gods and Demons like Onis or clothes japanese how kimono or places such as Mountain Fuji that it have breathtaking views. Also I enjoy the Anime like Dr. Stone that is part the Japanese culture too.

                  

I know a few the japanese histories such as the princess Kaguya and some of the terror like Teke Teke.

I would like visit a Japanese temple for good fortune or visit the Museum Ghibli because I watch the movie my Neighbour Tororo that is a movie of  Hayao Miyazaki, see Anime and go to the expo anime and eat tradicional Japanese food, Such as ramen or something.

However, I think that I will don´t like live there because in Chile I have my home.

Besides I will don´t like study or work and Japan because I don´t know speak in Japanese language.

In my write English I need learn more vocabulary because I forget it when no ocupate the new vocabulary frequently.

LEVEL 4 SEMESTER 2 - 2022

Tell us about an expert/person in your field that you admire

Hello everybody!

Today I am going to talk about the Felix Hoffman who was a German pharmacist who in 1897 was able to synthesize in a pure form acetylsalicylic acid, which became the active substance in Aspirin.

Felix Hoffman was born on January 21, 1868 in Ludwigsburg and died on February 8, 1946 in Switzerland.

In 1891 he graduated from the University of Munich. Two years later he received his doctorate. On the recommendation of the eventual Nobel Prize winner Professor Adolf von Baeyer he joined "Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedr. Bayer & Co." in 1894 to work as a chemist, in the chemical laboratory.

The reason I admire him is because one of the motivations for synthesizing the drug was to relieve his father's arthritis.

The contribution of obtaining acetylsalicylic acid in a pure form was relevant to form the medicine that is part of our lives and the most consumed in the world, which is aspirin.

How Can Your Major Make the World a Better Place

Everyone has been sick sometime during his life and when it happens it is always important to have a medicine at home to treat the disease, that is why chemistry and pharmacy affects mainly in the world in the area of health because it is oriented towards the study, development and application of drugs, and also a knowledge of their beneficial effects as well as toxic effects to human and animal health.

The career has several areas of work, the pharmaceutical chemist can work in pharmacies, clinics, pharmaceutical laboratories, university teaching and also in the development of cosmetics, among others.

Personally, I would like to work in a pharmacy, dispensing medicines.

Chemistry and pharmacy contribute to improve the health of people and animals, elaborating, dispensing or administering medicines every day and one of the most important things of the career is to be able to teach other people how to use medicines correctly.

A Meal Or Food You Really Like

Hello again!

My favorite food is fish, like salmon. although I personally like all the food that comes from the sea.

To start cooking the salmon you just need to put a little olive oil and a generous amount of butter in a frying pan, then you put the salmon on the skin side over medium high heat, add salt and pepper and turn it over. Finally you add a little lemon juice and it´s done! you can use rice or noodles to accompany the salmon.

The salmon for me is easy to cook because if you leave it a little raw you can still eat it after all in the sushi you can eat the salmon raw.

I like salmon very much for its taste and for its softness unlike when I cook meat a little tough and dry.

Salmon is one of the fish that contains a lot of omega 3 which is very good for the heart and health and I was told when I was a child that it is also good for the intelligence.

My Favourite Piece Of Technology

 Hello everyone!

My favourite piece of technology is a Smarthone Huawei because the smartphones have a lot uses and its size is adequate for keep in my bag.

For example, with the smarthone you can play fun games, you can study, found important or curious information in the web, or listen your favourite music in any places. Also you can contact your family using whatsapp when you are far away.

In my life when I´m stressed I found a place for sit down and use the smartphone for read or play something funny or cute, and finally i relax.

I recommend the use of smarthphone with care because if you see the screen for a long time with a strong light of the smartphone you may begin have problems with your vision.

Well, see you the next blog!
