Final Essay

After starting with my opinion about the course, is necessary tell the importance of this language in our live. Actually English in the most important language in the world, because the majority of the countries speak. Since school, I learn English, but obviously the level is not the same.

Now, in the University I am learning more things and topics than in the school and high school. Speaking part now is better, because the preparation is very different. In class, we did several activities to improving the pronunciation and grammatical structures. 

During this course I have learned important grammatical things, for example, passive voice, conditionals, reporter speech and tag questions. These and other ones were the most important topics that we saw.

In conclusion, this course brought me great benefits and knowledge that i´m going to use in the future and that I will apply in English 4.

Eating Habits!!!

Around the world, the persons have different food habits, because it depends of the culture, manners and traditions of the country. For example, in Mexico they eat high levels of protein, fiber and vitamins, and in the USA people eat pizza, cheeseburgers and son much food that has calories. For thus reason in USA a lot of people are overweight.

If people want to be successful in their loves, work and physical appearance it is important to have good eating habits. Many of our habits were created during our childhood; therefore the participation and knowledge of the parents are essential in this process. The radical changes are not a good idea.

If you are a fit person, you learn these habits; start the day with breakfast, that is the most important meal of the day and if you don´t eat it, your energy won´t be the same and you will need more food during the day. Another one, is drinking water; not soda, not ice tea. Eight glasses of water a day keeps your body functioning and help you in the routine exercises.

However, another good eating habit is eating small portions but five times a day. Small meals often reduce cortisol levels and if you eat big meals, you will eat a lot of calories and the efficiency of our body is less. One of the most important habits is when you know the food, because the knowledge of food allows people to be an educated person.


Finally, to be a successful and fit person it is important that the people know themselves, their body. After that, you can start to care about your body learning the correct habits, adopting the habits and practicing those ones. It is simple, you just look after what you eat and train at least three days per week and it is so important to inculcate this lifestyle in your children.



Passive Voice...

When you talk about Passive Voice, you think first in Active Voice. But the two ones are completely different. Passive Voice is a type of sentence in which the subject receives the action of the verb. The most common form of the Passive Voice is in which the agent is not identified.

Use the passive to talk about actions, events and process or put longer expressions later in the sentence. The Passive Voice is formed by used the appropriate form of the verb to be and a past participle.

Examples:

Sue changed the flat tire. (Active)
The flat tire was changed by Sue. (Passive)

We are going to watch a movie tonight. (Active)
A movie is going to be watched by us tonight. (Passive)
