The Geoblog

Hi, this is a sad day because this will be the last blog :( In this special opportunity, I would like to talk about my experience writing in this platform called Blogger. I think it was a great idea to write post in our blogs and read the blogs of our classmates. This allows me to learn and practice a little more about write in English. I really liked the post about a journey and the post about a photograph. First, because I love the travels and know other cultures and landscapes, I've always have seen documentaries and blogs of travels with the goal to know other far countries. I liked visiting all the blogs of my classmates, when I had to make comments, I took the time to read all the posts, because I think that each shared a part of themselves, with their yearnings, dreams and experiences. The blog helped me to share a part of my life and mainly to practice writing in English, wich otherwise wouldn´t have been able to practice. I appreciate the experience of shar...

Puma concolor

Hello classmates: In this day, I want to do a post about one of my favourite animal the Puma concolor. In general I like felines except the domestic cats haha, all have characteristics that make them special, like lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars and leopards. The puma is a carnivorous mammal that lives in practically all of America and obviously in Chile. Belongs to the family Felidae, subfamily Felinae and genus Puma. It is currently classified in the UICN with the LC category, which is a minor concern. This animal is characterized by hunting for ambush, their diet is mainly based on deer although they also hunt camelids or other smaller species, is a solitary and territorial animal. One of the differences with the big cats is that it can’t emit roars, it´s sound is sharp more like domestic cats. His height can be 80 cm, his lenght of 2,75 mt and his weight of 75 kg. Also the puma can reach jumps of 5,4 mt in height and reach speeds of 72 km/h (amazing). I really like this...

A dream job

Goodnight geobloggers! In this day, I will tell you about my dream job. My first job was at 16,  I wanted to earn my own money but as a minor, nobody wanted to give me a job. Until I found a job selling products like Natura or something like that haha in my free time. It was easy at first but then no longer so I quit this job after three weeks. Later, I worked washing dishes in a restaurant as a replacement. When I was 18, I worked as promoter of the Bailey's drinks and last year as promoter of Maggi. In spite of that, I have always wanted to work in my free time in a bookstore because I like books a lot. However my dream job would be as researcher of the chilean fauna, especially mammals. I've always liked biology and ecology in part because of that I study Geography. I like to study the distribution and conservation of some species that are in danger of extincion. For this work I think is necessary to have studies of ecology or something related like biogeography and ...

A piece of art

Hello Geobloggers The topic of today is art, the true is that I'm not a big fan of art but I enjoy to see it. So I had to decide for a piece of art that I like and I chose "La persistencia de la memoria" by Salvador Dalí. Dalí (1904-1989) was a famous spanish painter, is considered one of the greatest exponents of surrealism, he was also a sculptor, engraver and writer, among others. Maybe his most famous painting was "La persistencia de la memoria" made in 1931, currently this painting is in Nueva York on the MoMA Museum. I don't remember when I saw this painting for the first time, I suposed it was in some art class at school, about ten years ago. In art classes we used to see famous paintings and sculptures and then try to make them ourselves. In this painting one observes an empty and arid landscape with some watches, which have the particularity of being melted. Personally I like this painting because represents according to me the pass...
