Quien lo iba a Pensar, Finalmente las Clases de Inglés Resultaron Divertidas









Particularly, I think I could finish so great my experience with English at university (but still must take the exam), why do I say this? Well, I think that the classes were very dynamic and motivating, in fact, I have a little percentage of absents, and that does not usually happen to me in English, I always felt it was rather a waste of time sitting be somewhere doing things that were really boring. However, with the teacher Beatriz, this was a very pleasant experience. I must be honest, and when I was in the class for the first time, I thought, "ok, this teacher will kill us ", however, and to my surprise, the teacher became the best English teacher I had in my university experience with English. Regarding some negative and good aspects, I am of those who prefer to work alone, I do not like teamwork or less be doing dynamic binding with a partner in class, but hey, that's my problem, and this time, always classes were fun, and sincere way, I think I learned a lot. Thinking about my strengths and weaknesses, I think I have a good command of the language at scientific level, reading a lot in English has made me acquire technical skills in the area I chose, as in the case of neuroscience, however, still have to learn a lot of vocabulary, and of course, understand the grammatical laws, because they always been my torture. Well, finally I can only say, thanks teacher for his cool curse, no doubt it is been a great experience. Cheers !

How anxiety scrambles your brain and makes it hard to learn






"How anxiety scrambles your brain and makes it hard to learn"

The Guardian, Neuroscience- Saturday 21 November

Link: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/nov/21/how-anxiety-scrambles-your-brain-and-makes-it-hard-to-learn

This article makes a very general review of anxiety, specifically those students who suffer from anxiety and have difficulty carrying out their daily work and affected their academic performance. While the article mentions some brain areas that are involved in the expression of anxiety in our body, such as the amygdale and the prefrontal cortex, a thorough review of these aspects is not done because it is not the objective of this article. A list of 10 tips that can help eager students, so that is not so difficult to do their work studies and can continue to have a normal life


I chose this article for two reasons primarily. First, I am an anxious person by nature, for many years I had to fight anxiety and treat thousands of tricks to reduce my anxiety in situations that do not help me. Being an anxious person has a number of circumstances in which we do not feel comfortable, and we would be in our room without anyone bothering us, however, as they say: "The world is outside," so it is necessary to face anxiety and not give up. Second, the neurosciences are my passion, and I know I'll have a career in this area, it is why i like this article, and I think from a scientific perspective, all the tips mentioned can be used at any given time. 

Well, i hope that if any of you should also struggle with anxiety every, maybe you cn take these tips and feel it better. 

Cheers !!
