Youseff's mother asked him:

Ideas to improve your informal email

In Language we had to read about informal emails. And then, we made a chart summarising the text. Here I show you ours. I worked with Camila.

We also wrote an email. Here you have the one I did with Camila.

From: Sophie
To: Tom
Subject: Creating a blog.

Hi Tom,
Very well! And you? Well, I´m studying a lot. I´m very tired.

Yes! Of course I remember. I think the you want teenagers to read it, you should write about books, films, sports, soap operas and put on teenagers shoes. You can also write tips and pieces of advice at the time of studying.

Currently I´m workingt on an online newspaper, I do the design part. Sure!! I´ll help you with the design of the work. We can arrange a date and we talk through skype so I show you my ideas.

About the printer, I advice you to buy it in Garbarino. Things there are cheap and they´re good quality.

Good luck,
Sophie.

Tips to write an article

In the Language class we worked with the writing theory and practice of articles. We made two charts with tips to kown how to write it. Here you have them. I did them with Camila

We also wrote an article about learning foreign languages. I share you mine.

Now a days, is very common and necessary to learn a foreign language. Studying a new language brings many advantages in life.

There are many advantages when you know a different language. You can have the opportunity of working or studying abroad, you can communicate  with people from other countries, such as going to the super market while you are travelling in another country.

Other advantages that can help you if you study, travel, work or live in another country is that you are abel to do everything you want in your daily life without any difficulty. You can understand the country's cultures, traditions and signs. This makes your life, travel, etc easier and enjoyable. 

Althought is not easy, to learn a second language is very helpful. Would you try it?

We searched on the internet an article we thought it was interesting. We read it and we wrote a summary. Here you have my article and the summary I did.

This is an article from the online newspaper called Herald. 

The article is about a blind dog, who lived in Alaska,  and got lost in Febraury 6th when the temprature dipped to 40 degrees below 0. It also says what his owner expected to find or do if someone find it.

Luckily after two weeks the dog was found alive. So, the owner rewarded the man who did it and he is now happy at home with his dog.

The article also mentions another case of a blind dog lost and it's happy ending.

Estudiamos a nuestro eje, el sistema ósteo

En la clase de biología fuimos al laboratorio y en grupo hicimos una disección a un fémur de vaca cortado a lo largo. Fotografiamos desde distintos ángulos las fotos y luego con el programa de edición de fotos, Skitch, reconocimos las distintas partes del hueso y las señalamos. Conmigo trabajaron Delfina Uquizu, Valenina Muguelar, Martina Safronchik y Camila Kos. Les comparto el trabajo realizado.

Homeostasis guardiana del equilibrio

En la clase de Biología trabajamos con los conceptos de homeostasis y modelo general de la regulación. Para esto, hicimos un texto explicativo de estos conceptos y su relación. Comparto mi trabajo.

El modelo general de la regulación funciona de la siguiente manera: los estímulos son captados por los receptores del organismo. Estos receptores “transportan” dichos estímulos mediante vías de conducción sensitivas como los nervios del sistema nervioso periférico.  Cuando llegan a los moduladores, estos interpretan la información sensitiva y elaboran una respuesta. La respuesta es transmitida a través de las vías de conducción motora en la cual interviene el sistema nervioso periférico hacia los efectores, los cuales efectúan las órdenes elaboradas por los moduladores. Es así como se producen las respuestas adaptativas, que son aquellas las que permiten conservar la homeostasis.

Homeostasis es el equilibrio. Los sistemas nervioso y endocrino funcionan como un sistema integrador que regula  y controla funciones para estar en homeostasis. El sistema nervioso es el encargado de regular y controlar las funciones cognitivas conscientes o inconscientes y las funciones motrices.

El modelo general de la regulación depende del sistema nervioso. Es a través de este sistema que los estímulos son transmitidos, procesados y la respuesta a los mismos es devuelta para mantener el equilibrio del organismo.

An essay on "The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde"

In the class of L/L writing we worked with Literary essay. After reading the theory and examples, we wrote our Literary essay on "The strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde". I worked with Camila Kos.

An essay on “The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde”

The novel “The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde” written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is about an honorable doctor called Henry Jekyll, who is interested in the double personality of human being. Finally, he creates a potion to reach his aim, but the results he gets are not the expected ones. In this essay the topics to be analyzed will be the main themes, which they are The Duality of Human Nature, The Importance of Reputation and The Innocent and The Guilty.

Throughout the novel the theme Duality of Human Nature is developed. This theme emphasizes the two personalities a human being has, the good and the bad one. As Jekyll creates a potion to separate them, his goal is to create two personalities. But he transforms the good in bad and that is how, the bad part becomes dominant. Hyde is an amoral creature. Yet, if he was an animal he would not live in an urban place or act as a human. “…It was on the moral side, and in my own person, that I learned to recognize the thorough and primitive duality of man”.

The second main theme that is analyzed is The Importance of Reputation. During Victorian era, reputation was very important. But, to have reputation you must avoid gossiping, with others. To gossip was not for people from the upper classes; the ones who did it were not well seen. Utterson and Enfield have a reputation so, they avoid gossiping when they talk about the story of the door. “I am ashamed of my long tongue. Let us make a bargain never to refer to this again”.

The last theme to analyze is The Innocent and The guilty. This novel has many violent scenes. In most of them the culprit is Hyde and the victim, an innocent person. Sir Carew and the little girl are both victims of Hyde. But in the end of the story, Hyde’s victims are both Jekyll and Hyde when he finally commits suicide. Neither of the victims are innocent, both of them do wrong things. “And next moment, with ape-like fury, he was trampling his victim under foot, and hailing down a storm of blows, under which the bones were audibly shattered and the body jumped upon the roadway”.

In “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”, the author focuses on these three themes. As a conclusion, we may say that the themes analyzed in this essay are developed all along the novel, and they are very important to it. Without them, the novel would not create a strange and mysterious feeling in the reader. These themes are not common in novels, they are original and that is what makes this novel very special, sophisticated and traditional.
