Bienvenidos, mi nombre es Nicolás Flores Zúñiga y este es mi Blog. El
presente Blog contiene los distintos textos que trabajamos en las clases de
Composición creativa y Lectura y composición a lo largo del semestre.En estos dos cursos se nos enseñó a desarrollar diferentes tipos de textos
tanto como en el idioma ingles y el idioma español, lo que nos sirvió para
mejorar nuestra escritura y poder escribir con mayor facilidad textos en
general. En el curso de Composición creativa se desarrollarondiferentes textos como por ejemplo textos
descriptivos en la cual describimos a un compañero y un retrato, un texto
narrativo sobre una anécdota nuestra y finalmente la presentación de nuevo
material llamado grafeno a través de un texto expositivo, utilizando los
métodos enseñados en el curso. En general trabajamos con diferentes tipos de textos que sirvieron para
mejorar nuestra habilidad para formular textos y la forma en que los
presentaremos frente a un público.
Welcome, my name is Nicolas Flores Zuñiga and this
is my blog. This blog contain all the paragraphs that we worked in “creative
composition and reading and composition” classes throughout the semester
These two courses were taught to develop
different types of texts as well as in the English language and the Spanish
language, which helped us to improve our writing and make easier to write texts
in general. In Reading and composition classes we wrote different type of paragraphs
like descriptive text of people, videos, pictures and places. Narrative texts
where we had to write about my favorite season, etc.
In general we wrote a lot of paragraph and
drafts that helped us to improve our writing.
Este curso me ayudo a mejorar bastante
mi escritura con respecto a la descripción ya que no tenía claro los pasos a
seguir para describir una persona, lugar u objeto. También me ayudo bastante el
texto expositivo del grafeno ya que aprendí a buscar información que refuerce
una tesis, como citar, y como es en sí un texto expositivo.
En general el curso de composición
creativa me ayudo a mejorar bastante mi escritura en el área del ingles ya que aprendí
los diferentes pasos a seguir en la escritura. El curso fue de gran ayuda para
mejorar mi forma de pensar y de ver la escritura como una herramienta muy
importante para la comunicación.
Reflection:
This course helped me to write in a better way
the different paragraphs that we had seen in classes. At the beginning was
difficult because I didn't know anything about the rules to write text, but
when I learned the writing process, the punctuation, and the independent and
dependant clauses that improved my writing very fast. This course helped me to
improve my punctuation in Spanish. This course was very helpful to me because
before I was afraid to write in English but now I love to write paragraphs in
English

Texto Grafeno:
“El material del futuro”
El grafeno es uno de
los últimos descubrimientos que ha revolucionado al mundo. Como ya se sabe, estamos en una
época en donde la tecnología y la ciencia forman parte de nuestro diario vivir.
Artefactos como celulares, televisores, rayos láser, etc. Hacen que nuestra
vida sea más fácil y rápida. Ahora con
la llegada del grafeno no solo hará más fácil nuestras vidas sino que mejorara
muchos de los artefactos eléctricos y científicos que tenemos hoy en día.
Descubierto el 2004 por los
físicos rusos Andre Geim y Konstantin Novoselov
y presentado como premio Nobel el 2010; el grafeno es un material bidimensional compuesto de
átomos de Carbono unidos entre sí formando una red hexagonal; extremadamente resistente y conductora de
la electricidad. Un material con
características inigualables que mejoran nuestro diario vivir y revolucionara
el mundo.
En
relación con el medio ambiente, Investigadores del Instituto de Materiales de
la Universidad de Deakin en Australia, han conseguido desarrollar grafeno
blanco, capaces de adsorber en su superficie compuestos contaminantes, tales
como aceites, solventes orgánicos o incluso colorantes. 1 “La eliminación eficaz de aceites,
disolventes orgánicos y tintes del agua es de significativa importancia mundial
para la protección del medio ambiente y de las fuentes del agua”, dijo el Dr. Wei Wei Lei, Becario postdoctoral de la
Universidad Deakin.
En
otras palabras el grafeno adsorberá mayor cantidad de contaminantes que los
procesos convencionales que se usan hoy en día tales como la combustión, el uso
de dispersantes químicos, etc. Y ayudara a la protección del medio ambiente,
como en este caso, el mar.
En cuanto a la
tecnología, muchos artefactos electrónicos de hoy en día son frágiles y al
caerse sufren algún daño en su entorno o interior. La flexibilidad y
resistencia del grafeno llegan a cambiar dichos artefactos, por unos más
duraderos, transparentes y flexibles. Por ejemplo el teléfono móvil podría ser
una especie de lámina de plástico transparente, flexible y despegable, de forma
que podamos, llevarla en el bolsillo. 1
“Los primeros prototipos de papel electrónico estarán disponibles en 2015,
inaugurando toda una revolución en el campo de la electrónica.” Konstantin Novoselov, 2004.
Por lo que
respecta a los Investigadores del Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusets creen
que el grafeno permite el flujo real del agua, evita por
completo que se filtre la sal y tiene una permeabilidad mucho mayoren comparación a la ósmosis inversa. Y
todo ello mucho más rápido que con las técnicas actuales.
“Los
nanoporos de grafeno pueden filtrar la sal del agua a una velocidad de 2 a 3
veces mayorque la mejor tecnología de desalinización
comercial que existe en la actualidad”dice Jeffrey C. Grossman, del MIT
(Instituto Tecnológico de Massachuset), es decir, el agua marina podrá ser
convertida en agua potable y podrá ser usada diariamente.
En cuanto a la energía solar, los científicos
de la Universidad de Manchester usaron placas de grafeno con capas de otros
materiales para crear superficies energizadas por el sol. Las superficies
creadas son delgadas y flexibles, capaces de absorber luz solar y generar
electricidad a un ritmo similar al de los paneles solares existentes. El
material podría utilizarse como pintura para recubrir edificios, y generar energía
para ser utilizada por los mismos. Además el material tendría otras funciones,
como la posibilidad de cambiar de color. 1"Lo que hemos
estado haciendo es poner diferentes capas de materiales, una sobre la otra, y
lo que obtienes es un nuevo tipo de material con un grupo único de
propiedades", explicó uno de los descubridores del grafeno yganador
del Nobel, Kostya Novoselov.
Referente al mundo del deporte de alta competición, el tenista
Novak Djokovic el pasado 7 de Noviembre de 2012 en la Copa Masters exhibió su
raqueta de tenis Head G (fabricada con grafeno). Esta raqueta tiene un mejor
reparto de peso y ayuda a que el tenista logre mayor potencia de golpeo al
mismo tiempo que éste emplea un menor esfuerzo en cada golpe. Investigadora
de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid dice1“El grafeno es ultraligero y
ultrarresistente y la combinación de ambas cualidades lo hacen el material
ideal para multitud de deportes de alto rendimiento”
En conclusión el
grafeno es un material que llegara a revolucionar el mundo
en diferentes tipos de aspectos tales como en la contaminación, en el
uso de energía limpia y pura como la energía solar, la mejora de los artefactos
tecnológicos, el mundo del deporte, la purificación
del agua marina para el consumo, y una infinidad de otras nuevas funciones que
llegara a mejor nuestro diario vivir.
En reflexión el
grafeno es un material muy interesante por sus cualidades y sus futuras
funciones en los distintos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana y por eso es un
material de gran interés para científicos. Provoca una gran curiosidad y
ansiedad saber todo con respecto al grafeno, el descubrimiento que ha llegado a
revolucionar el mundo y que quizás pronto este en nuestros hogares.
Christmas is coming and everybody is preparing for the
celebration. The two little penguins of the Pingui family are seeing a picture
of the Christmas tree and thinking in the beautiful things of Christmas. Pingui
mom is cooking some delicious cookies for her family and her little children
are helping her painting the cookies with yellow; is a fun day and everybody
are happy. Cookies are ready and little children want to eat it but mom doesn't
let them to eat them; Dad arrives with a small present and the two little
penguins jump and shout to his dad to open the present but dad doesn’t want to
open because is for Christmas night. Pingui Dad wants to eat a cookie but Pingui
mom doesn’t let him eat it so Pingui dad takes away his
children to buy a Christmas tree. In the store is a variety of Christmas
trees, they buy a medium one and return home. Mom waits to Pingui dad to
decorate the Christmas tree. When they arrive penguin mother run to the penguin
dad to decorate the tree and when she run to him she trips over with a rope, so
penguin dad put angry and star to shout to penguin mom and the star to fight;
the two little penguins see them and they star to cry, so their parents stop
fight and they kiss each other. The hours pass and all the members of the family
are preparing for Christmas night; Christmas trees is ready and everybody is in
family singing and loving each others. Pingui family open their presents and
sing together…It is a beautiful night for everyone.
Reflection: This paragraph was difficult to write it because I had to see a video and write everything that happened in it, and it was difficult to write the minimal details or the history with all the details of every scene. I learned to write a description of a video and to see every detail very carefully.
Summer is
the nicest season of the year. I love summer because there is so much free time
to do the entire thing that I want. When I walk by the beach I enjoy listening
the sound of the waves and feeling the pleasant sea breeze; also I can feel the
sun burning my skin and smell the scent of the sea. I enjoy walking along the
beach and feel all those things, and when I travel to the south of Chile is
very different than North, because I can see the beautiful, green nature and
smell the different scent from the trees and flowers; the sound changes birdsong and is more
comfortable for the ears. I like walking so I see a new world within the
forest, wild animals, beautiful flowers, big trees, etc. It’s wonderful, and I
love it. My favorite season, I really love summer.
Text 2:
Summer,
time of fun and relaxation. I really enjoy summer time because I can do all the
things that I like. One of my favorite activities is to go to the beach and
swim with my brother or my friends in the big waves, and other activities that
I can do in the beach are to play soccer or volleyball and drink ice cream. I
love playing those sport and drinking ice creams. I really enjoy Christmas time
because I travel to Calama or Temuco with my family and us past the Christmas
night with the whole family; everybody are happy and it is a wonderful night.
It is the only month that I can see them all together. We like to travel to
other cities so in February we start with the trip. It is very interesting to
travel a lot because I see different lifestyles and cultures. In the south of
Chile I work picking strawberries or harvesting wheat, I love working in those
work because it is an activity that I can’t do in the big city. Summer is time
to do all the things that you can’t do in other season. I really enjoy summer
time.
Text 3:
When I
think in summer I always remember a Christmas night where we were in Calama
with the whole family. We were 27 members of the family together and everybody was
happy. I remember that night because my
father was Santa Claus so he brought a lot of presents; presents that everybody
bought. The midnight came and was time to open all the presents so my father
took a chair and sat in it and started to call all the members that had a
present. Was a very fun moment because all my uncles had to sit in the knees of
my father like little kids and had to smile to the photo. Everybody was
laughing. Was a wonderful night. Another
special day was a “New Year night “when I went out to the streets to distribute
coffee with my friends to the indigents. We started distributing coffee in “El
Morro” up to “Baquedano” and when we were there we saw a very big group of
those “brothers” celebrating the New Year together, so we came near to them to
celebrate with them. We ate, laughed, played and told stories; was a great
night. When we were going, one of the indigent that we accompanied got up and
approached to me; he told me that I was a very good man and that I deserved
good things, and when he finished to told this, he took his jacket and he gave
it to me. Was a new jacket. I thought a lot of things but I felt it was better
to received it. When I arrived to my home I thought in this entire situation
that happened and I felt very good. I understood that sometimes people that
with don’t expect and with little actions can surprise you and make you feel
happy.
Reflection: These were the last 3 paragraphs that I wrote and now was very simple to write it because I know everything of punctuation, grammar and vocabulary, and the writing process and these rules have helped me to write a presentable paragraph.
The family is composed by six people; parents, grandparents, and two children.
They live in a big, detached, two storey house that is painted on the outside in grey colour and the left wall has a ceramic rock shape. In front of the house we can find small stairs that take you to the front door, which is decorated with flowers and some trees and it is surrounded by grass and it has a big garage on the right side.
On the first floor we have a beautiful entrance and next to it we found a small bathroom and the sitting room to welcome guests, next to it, we find a big dining room where the family enjoy having breakfast, lunch and dinner.In front of the dining room we have the washing room. Next to the washing room and the dining room we can find the kitchen and the big living room. On the second floor we have a corridor that connects to six rooms, on the right side we have two bedrooms, those are; the marital room, where the grand parents sleep,and the big marital room that is connected with a big bathroom where the parents sleep, and between them is the resting room. If we walk on the same corridor in the middle we can see a small bathroom and on the left we can find two more bedrooms; girl’s bedroom, and boy’s bedroom.
Sitting room: Marisel
On the first floor of the house there is a small living room with creamy, beige colouredwalls which connects with the dining room. Next to the white ceiling, there are two small windows, each of them half covered by a tiny, dark brown curtain. In the middle of the wall, there are two paintings that are above a white sofa decorated with four cushions.At both sides of the sofa there are two round and tiny tables with a white lamp on each one.On the right sideof the table you can see a picture frame on the top section and on the section below some books on it.

Though there is a small table with four chairs between the two rooms. On the table are some orange flowers.
Coming now to the kitchen, we can observe that in its big area stands a kitchen countertop that has a red plate with some decorative balls on it, which are white and black.
Facing the kitchen frontally, we can divide it in two sides. On the left side is the metallic shining fridge that consists of two sections. Next to it are another two cupboards with a timer, some condiments and other working toolson it.
On the right side are some more cupboards. The dishwasher is nearly in the middle of them, facing a window. We can also see some spices and bottles next to the dishwasher.
At the back of the kitchen we can find the silver-looking cocker next to some cupboards, build of an oven and a gas-cooktop. Above it is a small microwave in the top shelves. At the left are two containers, made of glass. In the left, back corner we can perceive a door. Behind it is probably a larder, where you can store the alimony.
The whole kitchen is populated with many storing shelves on the top.
Entirely the kitchen transmits an organized and clean impression. The brown wood used for all the pieces of furniture harmonizes perfectly with the silver, metallic appliances and the marble boards. It is also very well illuminated by the small, round lights which are attached into the ceiling and the three armed lamp above the little table.

The big living room is located next to the kitchen, and between them there is a small wooden table with four chairs and a vase on it.This part of the house is all covered by a white carpet and has light green walls. Entering to this area, we can notice at its left part a brown wooden fireplace located between two big windows, which is surrounded by some china vases. On the fireplace there is a small plate with certain decorative balls, and above this there is a medium size plasma TV. Next to all of this, we can see a white armchair with a little cushion on it. Behind the armchair, there is a lit lamp and at its right there are two beautiful black decorations.
Now, if we turn to the right we will see a small tree next to a little wooden table with a portrait, a lamp and some books on it. Continuing, we will found two big brown couches with some striped cushions on them. They are separated by a piece of furniture with a lamp, a plant and some candles on the top of it. In the wall behind one of them are two pictures of flowers and a square mirror with golden edges. In the center of the living room there is a coffee table with two big, black, nut shaped decorations.
In general, this room has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, ideal for doing relaxing activities like reading, watching TV, etc. or for having a nice evening talking and sharing with your family and friends.

This part of the house is united with the marital room. It isn’t a very big space but it has its comforts and it can be used as a playroom. The color of the room is the same as the marital room, a brownish almost yellow color with a white ceiling. Starting with the left part of the room we can see a big chest of drawers that occupy all that corner. It is filled with squares of a variety of colours and those, at the same time, are filled by all kinds of toys of different types and colours as well. At the top of that piece of furniture there are three pictures of animals that give life to the place. Focusing on the central part, we can see that again there are three rectangular pictures of animals just in the middle of the wall, and down those pieces of art there is a trash can. Now, finishing with the right part of the room, we can see a beautiful oval lamp that lights the space and just next to that lamp, two red comfortable armchairs that are perfect for resting.

In front of the marital bed there is the brown make up table with flowers, books, vessel and a stylish lamp on it. We have two things next to this furniture: in the left side we have a brown leather personal sofa with a cushion, and in the right side we have the white frame entrance , that hasn’t a door. The brown chest of drawers has a crimson lamp, a brown bowl and two family pictures on it. Near to this drawer we have the hall with the closet that has plenty of room. We can say that this room has a lot of room, because there are many things in it and they are not one next to another, there is enough space between the furnitures, and it’s very well organized.
Reflection: Writing this text I learned to work in group because I saw diferents points of view of grammar and vocabulary. Also I learned to look the small details of a picture. It was a very easy work because I had a excelent group and everybody helped to everybody and that made very easy everything.
I like the nigth because I don't like the sun...One day I herad that the best things happen at nigth and I think that is rigth. When I think of the morning, I think about classess, chores, noises and a lot of things that I don't like so much and is diferent when the night comes to my mind... Peace, without noise, starts, wind and a lot of good things take me to a special place in my mind for a little moment for myself. I can do everything I want, like going outside with my friends to enjoy in their house, stay with my girldfriend and watch movies, play computer games with my brothers and a lot of activities that make me feel happy, but the best thing that I can do is staying in my room just thinking, without noise, all in peace. A lot of fun activities come to my mind when I think about the night. just try to improvise and get fun.
Reflection: This was my first paragraph and was very difficult to write it because I didn't know anything about the writing process or the topic sentence so everything was disordered. This paragraph helped me to know how to write correctly and in very clear way.
