In this exercise, we have to design leaflets to promote tourism in our country, I chose El Cielo Biosphere Reserve...so, here is my work!

El Cielo Biosphere Reserve, or Mexico's El Cielo Biosphere Park, is a place of great mystery and boundless surprises, it's a 356,442 acre reserve that spans four distinct ecological systems and ranges in elevation in the state of Tamaulipas.

The reserve is known for its spectacular cloud forest that serves as a rainwater catchment for the low tropical forest and commercial agricultural region to the east and southeast. El Cielo offers diverse habitat for animals and plants and provides rustic accommodations for ecotourists.

Phone and power lines don’t reach here, but the government has provided residents with high-tech solar panels that perch outside the mud-and-wattle, tin-roofed houses. Orange-flowering vines crown giant avocado trees in the downtown section of the village, which is actually an exceptional place to observe birds, along with burros and goats, amid the banana and guava trees and rock fences.

In Alta Cima, the Hotel El Pino offers cabins (11 rooms) with baths, for about 200 pesos ($14) per night, with coffee and fresh pan dulce delivered to your door every morning. A bare light bulb (solar powered) shines down on comfortable beds with plenty of blankets.

Finally, in this great plant life, wildlife in the area include the feared Mexican jaquar. Safety should be taken when venturing into the forest alone. El Cielo includes four distinct eco-systems: tropical jungle, mountain forest, pine-oak forest and dwarf oak and heath forest.

Hi again to everybody...in this exercise, we worked in groups in the classroom to select a person or an event from our country which could be honored with a national holiday...so, here is our work!

WORKOUT'S DAY

Reasons:

• Nowadays is very important the motivation to start workout because there are too many people who suffer obesity, anat-thyroid, cardiovascular, depression even pulmonary health problems.


• Celebrate this day could increase the number of people who want workout but need more motivation.


• The workout is for everybody, I mean...adults and kids, because currently the average of obesity doesn't respect ages or genres.


• This day could be celebrated in all the countries of the world.

Well, in this exercise...following the student's book instruction, all the classmates suggested ideas to write down a nice story about Thanksgiving Day using pictures and key words. So...here is the result...

In 1602, 101 emigrants came to the New World running away from religious persecution. They attacked Native Americans out of fear but when winter arrived hunting was made difficult and survivors to that harsh season could see those Native Americans were not as bad as they thought because they shared food and turkeys with them and since then American's have made this a National Celebration, which is a known as "Thanksgiving Day".

This is an exercise in which a pair of students worked as a psychiatrist and a patient...talking about a dream...so, here is our example...

Psychiatrist: Hello Ms. Mariel...how are you?
Patient: Well, I've had bad nights, because my dreams scare me!
Psychiatrist: Ok...tell me, what have you been dreaming?
Patient: Recently, I've been dreaming about waterfalls, once I saw two, I don't know...maybe more waterfalls. The dream starts when I'm in a river and I'm going along with the crowd, after a few minutes I could see the edge of the waterfalls closer and I cannot escape! It was horrible!
Psychiatrist: ohhh...I understand, go on...
Patient: In that moment, I was so nervous and I tried to swim against the river current but it was useless...when I was in the edge, I fell over until my dream became wack.
Psychiatrist: Did you wake up in that moment?
Patient: No, I continued sleeping but I couldn't remember the next dream.
Psychiatrist: Well, I guess that you're under too many stress or sadness and it makes that you lose the control, so...you should start to order your ideas and concentrate in your life because this kind of dream indicates problems as fear of failure or even depression. I'll prescribe you sleeping and antidepressant pills.
Patient: Thank you doctor!
Psychiatrist: Don't worry, you'll be in an excellent condition in two or three weeks!
Patient: ...¬¬

Here is my first homework, Sleeping Habits...

I ain't a part of snoring, leg movements or pauses in breathing, I take care of my hygiene sleep habits because sleep is as important as food and air and I like to workout everyday, so...I try to sleep around 8 hours everyday. I like go to bed at the same time and get up at the same time every day.

I don't like the stimulants, you know...coca-cola, coffee, redbull, and all that kind of caffeine products. I avoid the classic digital clock in my room, you know this one that has an intense red color in the numbers! because I red in a magazine that it could make you lose the sleep in the midnight. Usually I don't use a pillow because always that I use it, I wake up with muscular problems in my neck...why? really, I don't know but I'm fine with a soft bed!
