Opinion

Personally i had never worked with a blog before. I really founded extremely interesting. I think is a very innovate way of teaching, I congratulate our Professor because she used this fun tool. I liked it a lot, I hope to have the opportunity to teach english through it some day. there are many advantages in using blogs, because you can prepare fun activities for the students to do, activities that will motivate the writing development more than in a classroom. The only thing that may be a disadvantage is that internet sometimes does not work as teacher want, but that can be solved easyly.

As I said before, I congratulate miss Sandra Pichinao for been so cool and innovate, I think everything was all right with these lab sessions.

The importance of writing in EFL

Writing is very important in EFL because is a form of output. Through writing, teacher potenciate the good development of the output process, because the students can organize his thoughts and knowledge in a paper.It also helps children in the building of fluency, through the writing practice. Finally, it is a way of developing accuracy(in grammar, vocabulary, etc.)through this the student evidently rehearse the new words and grammatical structures acquired.

Use tour imagination!

It was monday morning, Susan woke up very early and very sad. She knew she was going to attend a school in which surely she was going to feel uncomfortable. Susan is a very good student that is why she won a shoolarship to study in one of the best schools of the state, but this did not make her happier. She knows she is the only hope for his family to overcome finacial problems, but that school is attended by only rich people and she is so humble and poor.

The first days were owful, the whole group looked a her as if looking a pauper, in breaks, all people turned their backs on her talking and whispering about her way of talk and dress. She felt so badly that she even thought not to come back to school.

A professor was very interested in Susan´s good qualifications, so she talked to her and soon she became her main supporter. She learned that her many possitive qualities would take her as far as she wanted no matter how many people were against her.

Susan became the best student of school, admired, loved, and now self confidant enough to to face her fears.

Her family was so proud of her as she received her college degree. All problems are ended now, she is one of the best doctors in one of the best hospital of United States. Happines has arrived to stay.

New York Times article

Study links age of blood in transfusions to infections
By REUTERS
Published: October 29, 2008

I found this article very interesting because something related with medice is occuring in our country, exactly in the North part.

The article is about blood storage and the consecuences of using it after to be stored more than 29 days. These consecuences might be: blood stream infections, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, heart valve infections, and other kinds of diseases.

The interesting thing is that after being too much time stored, red blood cells experience changes like the release of biochemical substances called cytokines, that make patients become more vulnerable to infections, according to what researchers said.

Dispite of being exposed to this small risk, patients have to aware that benefits are many more.

Through the reading of this article I could learn these new words:

Taint: To affect with or as if with a disease.

Render: To surrender or relinquish.
