Este momento, quiero solo que yo disfruto eso que estoy aprendiendo. // // Mi Madre escucha la musica de Il Divo, me gusta un poquito sus canciones que son en espanol. es "eschuchar" la palabra correcta por hablando sobre la musica? o que? // // por cuantos anos aprendias ingles? He estado aprendiendo desde la ultima Mayo pero trato mucho... mi novia es de Cuba y mi Abuelo fue de Espana, pero nunca lo se. Mis padres no saben espanol, es solo yo. //

 * // ﻿ ﻿Hi again Sean!!!!! //**

// Nice to meet you, don't worry I know that sometimes we have to do a lot of things, and we forget to do some of them ;) //

// Yes I want to be a doctor, when I graduate I'll get my degree as a doctor, after that, I'll like to do an especiality in pediatric. // // It's nice that you are focused in what you are learning now, Which semester are you? //

// Oh really!!! Umm I thought that you never had listened about Il DIVO, but it's good that you're hearing some of their songs in spanish, because you can learn new vocabulary and, why not, practice if you sing it :D. If you wanted, I can explain you some words in the songs that you couldn't understand :). Which is your favorite song of them? //

// Hi again Sean!!! //

I hope you've been Ok these days, we have to continue with the exchange, so the topic for this week is Which places do you like in your city? In my case I really like and enjoys Coyoacan I think it's a beautiful place and very calm, there is many café, and museums like Frida Kahlo's museum, Have you ever hear about her? If not, here is the official web page <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 100% 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; cursor: pointer; padding-right: 10px;">[|Frida Kahlo] so it's my favourite place to go with my friends to drink coffee or just to talk.

I send you a pic of Coyoacan:

Y tu, ¿Qué lugares te gustan más o no te gustan de tu país o donde vives?

Saludos Cuidate :D

**III. REVIEW.**

**Book: Oxygen a Novel** **Author: Carol Cassella**

The protagonist of **Oxygen** is Dr. Marie Heaton, a dedicated and careful anesthesiologist. She is an example of what a good physician should do always, because she introducing herself to her patients and reassuring them that they are in good hands, after that, she administers drugs that bring about a temporary loss of sensation, an absence of pain during the procedure. Marie loves her job as most of the physicians do it,and she refers to it like this: "its precision and focus, its balance of technical skill and judgment." she has been practicing for seven years and her excellent performance has caused the respect of her colleagues at First Lutheran Hospital in Seattle, Washington.

Marie's life has a sudden change when she administers anesthesia to an eight-year old girl named Jolene Jansen, because in an inexplicable way Jolene's heart rate plummets and her blood loses its oxygen supply. She tried to do her best effort to bring her back. This was a devastating tragedy for Dr. Heaton, and as any physician that has lost a patient, she began to wonder all the time what she could have done wrong, or if she could have done more to save Jolene's life.

I think the hardest thing for Marie it wasn't the malpractice suit, but the guilt she feels, because for a good physician save lives and help people is worth than professional recognition or reputation.

The book was excellent, because for me it is very important to remember that in Medicine, the main thing is the welfare of the patient and as our slogan says "ALIIS VIVERE" "To live for others"

 * Answer**. I think, could be, because nowadays the children are exposed to a lot of information given by the media, and these, most of the time don't have a regulation of which scenes can be presented or not, and also families are scared, so the children are scared on something that maybe they can't understand, but they only know that they should be scared.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">**Martha's question** <span style="color: #800000; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> When was the Torre Latino built?

**Ans:** The construction of the Latin-American Tower began in 1949 and was concluded 7 years later in 1956, when it was inaugurated on April 30th of the same year. During this period, several factors were considered for the building’s foundation which were new for the time, but were necessary as it’s located in a seismic zone; a rail system was installed which would protect the structure from any damage.

I think the article is very interesting, because shows different ways to improve our writing's ability, and I think that all the mentioned there are very useful, because teachers can try with some of them and see which are more useful for their students, most of them, incorporates the active participation of the students, and in that way is most probably they can adquire more knowledge about their mistakes, than in the traditional methods. I think these "new methods" are very useful in our class, because we participate of our formation, and not only give all the responsability of corrections to teacher
 * **TkT's article**.


 * **The world food crises.**
 * I think it isn't only a conspiracy, because the world food crisis exist and it's real, maybe there are some countries that don't have a real food crisis, and maybe those are that use this like a conspiracy to accept the genetically modified food; but I think the government have to do more things to fight vs. the poverty and not only try to fix this, taking an "easy way", accepting the genetically modified food. **


 * **Corn's domino effect.**
 * I think this is an important problem, not only for us but for all over the world, and maybe one of the best solutions is to promote the development of farming here in México, giving more resources to farmers so they can achieve a better harvest, and we not depend of the harvest that give us other countries, for example U.S, that in this case uses the majority of his corn's production in biofuel, and only give us an small percentage of this, and that is why we can not cover all our needs as the bigger consumer of corn. **

I agree with Mr. Derosa, because he said, that for us it's more comfortable talking or expressing in our home or at work using the technology, because you don't need to pay attention at 100% of what are telling you. However when we are outside we have to put all our senses in the other person and pay attention, because he or she deserves all our respect. I think this paragraph is quite right, because the students who have a high debt, are more interested in paying, than become true their dreams.
 * **Digital manners. (Keep your thumbs still when I'm talking to you)**
 * Paragraph 7**
 * **College Loans.**
 * Paragraph 8**

So this debt acts as a barrier to the good development of graduate student and perhaps, impairs their goals, but contrary to what is in the paragraph, I think he is forced to stop being a teenager with goals and dreams, for being an adult with debts to pay.

CHILDHOOD STORY** **.** ====

When I was 10 years, every year my group used to go camping at the forest, and we stayed there for 2 days, and we took a walk into the forest and when we returned we had dinner and we told horror stories. We played games and sang.

**X. BBC MOVIE SCIENCE PODCAST****.**
Martha's comment

In this programme called "6 Minutes English" the commentators were talking about science in movies, and they began the programme making a question that refers to a "classic" scene in the fiction films, where there was a big explosion in the space, and they asked what would your hear?, they refered another "classic" scene where a character throw out a cigarette into a gasoline's pool and there was a big explosion, and this doesn't happen in the real life. They interviewed a scientist called Sidney, who also is the author of the book called "Hollywood science" he said that in the films should be a balance between the real science and the fiction, and he talked about the film called "The day after tomorrow" which is about global warming, and he said that although the basic story showed there, is good, most of the effects showed there are very dramatic and they happen to fast. For me it was easy to follow the interview because the commentators explain Sidney's answers, so this help me to understand better what he said.
