Entry #1: Write a paragraph about yourself

 Hello everyone, let me introduce myself, Sergio Fonseca. I am an English student at the UIA, also I am a chemistry graduate, I studied it many years ago. 

Now I want to combine both studies and become a scientific translator.

I currently work in regulatory affairs and because of my job I have contact with the English language and I have to do several translations which is very useful for me to practice.






In my personal life, I love to travel, to discover new places, traditions, food and culture. I know that perfecting my English will help me during my travels. I once heard a phrase that struck me: "one language, one life" and I think it is totally true, since learning English is not just about words, it is actually about immersing yourself in different cultures and ways of seeing the world.

I have seen several cases in which a candidate may even have a specialization, but they do not have a second language, and they are not considered for further recruitment.    All of this helps us understand how, in the workplace, candid...

Blog Entry #2: -Write a descriptive paragraph about your Writing Habits

   Writing is an art, I say this because one must express ideas, words, phrases that are coherent and can be correctly interpreted.    Whether you write an email to coworkers, to your boss or to a regulatory entity or ministry, you must be very precise in your ideas, what you want to explain and of course the person or people who will be reading the messages.    When we are writing our ideas, I consider it important to follow the following steps: know who we are sending the message to, have an order explaining the ideas, what we require and finally the expected result.    Another important factor is the block that we can feel when writing. It happened to me several times when I was writing my master's thesis, and I think that the best thing is to give ourselves a break or even continue the next day since sometimes our brain can no longer process what we want to report and that is where one requires a break.    Finally, this process of ta...
