The More I Learn, the More I Want to Know


               Since as long ago as I can remember I have always been fascinated by the natural world. That childish fascination has not left me but deepened over the years. This interest has led me to my love of biology, ecology, animal behavior and evolution.

Following my graduation from High School I studied Biological Sciences for two years at the Catholic University of Chile in Santiago. From March 1997 to November 1998 I was obliged to take a break from my studies at university as my father was moving from the city to a more remote rural area. While helping my father I was able to work closely with birds of prey among others and I was successful in breeding the endangered chinchillas. During my time away from university I continued to deepen my knowledge of my subject and studied evolutionary thinking and the biological basis of behaviour. I also worked for a brief time as a translator which made me think that perhaps my English was good enough o complete my studies in an English speaking country.

Since coming to Oxford and studying at OLT I have improved my written English a great deal. I am a member of The Natural History Museum (London) and recently attended a course called 'The History of Evolution'. The course was organised by Birkbeck College and took place at the Natural History museum in London each Wednesday. The course has been fascinating and has served to confirm my suspicion that the more I learn of this subject the more I want to know.

I am hopeful that my previous studies in Santiago, my maturity and my experience in this field will allow me to enter the second year of an undergraduate programme in the UK. After completing my undergraduate it is my wish to continue studying at postgraduate level and ultimately conduct my own research in this area.

The north Ryde District has grown into a district of intensive occupation anchored by a vibrant and growing university.

Blessed with a fortunate location and room to breathe, Macquarie can be pound of that careful planning that retains and enrich the university most attractive features. A pleasing balance between building and planting is evident across the campus. This emphasis on the importance of landscape has created images of Macquarie as a place that members of the university are most likely to pleasurably recollect.

On of the highlights of the landscape, is the Mars Creek zone, it composes landscape creak sides and valley floor, a glass amphitheatre, and artificial lake… surrounded by rocks and pebbles, native plants and eucalypts.

Today, a railway station is under construction. in there years time, Macquarie will be the only university in Australia with a railway station on site. Macquarie is poised to be the most readily accessible in Sydney region by rail and motorway, yet retaining its beautiful site.

YOGYAKARTA

 

Yogyakarta is one the nicest places I have ever visited. it is city in south of java island. It is a popular holiday resort for people who like cultural and historical sites.

Yogyakarta is a small city but there are lost of different things to see. There are many temples in the province, such as Prambanan, Kalasan and Sambi Sari. There are also two palaces that we must not miss, Hamengkubuwono and Pakualam Palace. Yogyakarta is a tropical city. There are lost of palm trees and other tropical fruit trees. There are also beautiful beaches, such us Parangtritis, Krakal, Kukup Glagah. It is not difficult to get around the city at the day because taxis and buses are easily found. Unfortunately, there is no bus in evening. The only way to see the nightlife of the city is by taxi, but it rare at night. I like Yogyakarta because it’s a beautiful and peaceful city. I would like to visit it again one day.

The Truman Show

The movie I reviewed was called, The Truman Show. The Truman Show is a drama directed by Peter Weir. On a scale from one through ten, I would rate this movie a ten. Most definitely the best drama I have ever seen.

The Truman Show stars Jim Carry as he plays Truman Burbank in this drama about his life and how it is all-fake, except him. The setting takes place in a 1990’s little town called Seaheaven. Truman lives a fairly normal life, he’s married to a nurse named Marlyn and Truman is businessman. Everyday is just like a broken record. It’s the same thing everyday, until he catches on to this act after thirty-five years. Her then starts wanting to go to Fugi to find a long lost dad who actually comes back in the heart of the movie, to keep Truman in his town of acting.
The theme I think is really quite simple. The director in this film is trying to point out very clearly at the ending, that you can’t fake a mans life forever. Man has enough freewill to go anywhere anytime he or she will, and I think that is what the director is trying to get across.
My personal evaluation to this movie is HIGH. On a scale of one to ten I give this movie a ten. I enjoyed this movie very much. It was well planned out, well acted, and last of all well emphasized that Truman was himself, and everyone saw that. There are some comedy parts in this movie, like when he talks to himself in the bathroom pretending to be an astronaut. That’s HILARIOUS!!!!!!! I don’t know if driving in a circle with a car is funny or not, but the way this was presented it was VERY funny. Three words!!! ENJOYABLE, FUNNY, AND MEMORABLE.

In conclusion, this movie was great. If you didn’t see it GO!!! I thought this movie pointed out what it was trying to get across very well. This movie gets a ten on my scale.
