Free post: Basketball.


hello! Today I am going to write about the basketball, It is a very interesting sport and this play is a of my predilect sports.
Basketball is a team sport in which two teams of five players try to score points by throwing or shooting a ball through the top of a basketball hoop while following a set of rules and complications.
Exist a lot of rules to play Basketball as for example "walk with the ball", "hit the oponent" , "time for realizing a attack", "time for pass the middle court", etc.
The play has two type of punctuation: 1) two point, in the case that the shot is inside of the three point line and 2)three point, in the case that the shot is outside of the three point line.
This sport is played in four parts of 12 minutes (NBA), at the final of second part, the teams change of side in the court.
besides exist two type of fouls 1) direct fouls (contact with the oponent) and 2) tecnical fouls (to claim for example).
I think the Basketball is a favulous sport, because the play is fast, is a play of intelligence, is dinamic, and is excellent for realizing excercise and maintain a good physical condition.
I played basketball in my school, and I formed part of the team of the school. My position in the play was of shipowner, but the trainings were very exhausting.
In This time, My team was the best team in the municipality for this We win the championship for three years consecutives.
At the present, I study in the "Universidad de Chile" and I have not free time for practice basketball but I watch in TV all matchs of the NBA.

Final Essay: Chile.


Chile is a very interesting country, and It´s located in South America, in the final of world. Chile has a geography very involved, foe example Chile has mountain, valley, desert, and place with a lot of vegetation.
Chile is of birthday in this year because is the celebration of 200 years as "independent republic", but this topic is very controversial. This years for the Chileans was very dificult and complicated, apart from of the celebrations, this year started with the earthquake and last with the situations of the minings.

The year 2010 for Chile Will be remembered as a year with "mountains and valley" as the geography. This year started with a new president (Sebastián Piñera).
Later, in February 27th happened a historical event, in the Chilean coast happened a earthquake of 8,8 MW, in the locality of Curanipe y Constitución, and later other disaster, a tidal wave that destroyed a lot of contructions in this places. The eyes of the world was in Chile. But the earthquake and tidal wave not should to destroy Chile, The coauntry should to rebuild, in part, the life in this localities.
In August happened other relevant event starring group of 33 minings. They were trapped in a mine in the north of Chile, in the Copiapó city. Again the eyes of all world was in Chile. Later of 70 días in this place, The 33 minings was recovered of the mine.
finally, the celebrations for the 200 years as "independic republic", this topic is very controversial, because the independence was firmed in 1818 year. The real celebrations is the bicentenary of the "First cabinet National meeting".
Now other controversial event, happened in the lection for the new president of the ANFP, because the Football Clubs elect to a persons that isn´t of the preference of the people.

This year Will be remembered by Chileans as a complicated year, but at same time Chileans have demonstrated strength, unit, nobility, generosity and the capacity to overcome different problems as for example the change of govern, the earthquake, the tidal wave. But Chile is a excelent country, very beautiful, in its geography.
I think that the more important in Chile is the people, with your power to overcome the problems, for this I love Chile!.

The Human Brain.


Hello, today I going to talk about the human brain, Its is the center of the human nervous system and In my opinion the brain is the most important organ in the human body.
In the anatomy, the brain is enclosed in the cranium in the human, and Its is divided in 4 lobe, They are frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal.
The human brain contain aroun of 50–100 billion neurons, and 10 billion are cortical pyramidal cells, and the most importan is that the human brain contain as 1000 trillion synaptic connections.
The brain is very interesting because its is a mistery, But in the last years it has increased the knowledge brings over of this organ. In the past one believed that the functions of the brain were located only in a zone of this organ and that the human being only was using 10 % of the capacity of our brain for these functions. Today We know that the human functions not are fixed in a determinate area, because We use all the cortex to execute functions.
In the last time, the knowledge it has increased thanks to the estudy of some illnes, as for example Parkinson, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease schizophrenia and depression.
Now exist a los of information about the brain, but still We have great for knowing and to discover on some cerebral functions and of other components of the nervous central system.
In my profession is very important know about the brain, becuase the pathology can has relationship with the alteration of some area of the brain.
