A SUBJECT I'VE ENJOYED STUDYING THIS SEMESTER

I have six subjects this semester and just two of them I really enjoy it, oral and written communication and English III. But, in this time, I will write about the first one.

This subject was implemented with the objective that students acquire tools that allow them to develop their communicative skills in the field of Food Engineering, mainly in the planning, organization, production and dissemination of scientific and professional knowledge under different types of texts (Oral, written and multimodal), with the purpose of communicating a specific message to different types of audiences and in different contexts.

The subject consists of two parts, the first was pure theory about textual language (papers, texts of popularization, etc.) and I did not enjoy it at any time, I do not consider that I have poor reading comprehension, at least not a very bad one, so I did not think I needed to do that.

However, when we went to the second part of the course I enjoyed every part of it. It is about oral communication and was given by the teacher of theater. We learn oral communication techniques (modulation, voice imposition, gesture, etc.) in simulated activities of: job interview, oral presentations, etc.

I am not a very assertive person when it comes to communicating with others, so it helped me to be able to understand a little more how I can relate to others without dying in the attempt

A CAREER-RELATED WEBSITE THAT I ENJOY VISITING

A website related to my career would be that of APSAL (Asociación Profesionales de Salud y Alimentos). APASAL Is an institution created to stimulate the exchange of knowledge among all the professionals of the food chain with their health peers in the areas of common interest.

It is formed by professionals from all areas involved in the process of healthy eating: Technologists, Chemists, Biochemists, Engineers, Agronomists, Physicians and others capable of contributing to the knowledge of food. They have very interesting post about almost everything about food, like energy drinks, stevia, light products, healthy treats and others.

They have an institutional section where we can read about the organization of APSAL, goals and vision, different commissions and committees of it, and other stuffs like that. Others sections are about APSAL awards, the logo, events and faqs.

I visit this website once a week because I really like the information that they publish. Probably posting this type of information is something that anyone can do, but the fact that it does a professional gives it more credibility, at times.

FAVOURITE BOOK

I have read many books in my time as reader, so choose just one book is difficult. But there is one book that i read every year at least two times. "The Knight in Rusty Armor" is a novel by the American writer Robert Fisher writen in 1987. This a book that you can read many times in your life and everytime that you read it you learn something different.


The Knight, an egocentric man, who fails to understand and value in depth what he has, is carelessly neglected with the things and people around him, like his family: Juliet, his wife, and Christopher, his son. In this way it is gradually enclosed within its armor, until it ceases to glow and oxidizes; When he realizes, he can no longer take it away. Prisoner of himself, he embarks on a journey through three different castles through the "path of truth", partially guided by Merlin, the great and wise teacher of King Arthur. In this journey he realizes many things that he had never noticed, he reflects, and so he gradually becomes a better person.

"When you learn to accept instead of expect, you'll have fewer disappointment"

 "Human beings were given two feet so that they would not have to stay in one place, but if they would stand still more often to accept and appreciate instead of running around to grab, they would truly understand ambition from the heart"
