CD EXERCICES 

I was so confident that my portafolio was completed that I erased ALL the photos of my phone. Lucky I wrote some in my notebook. :(

ALWAYS HEALTHY DRY FRUIT 

Dried fruit is fruit that has had almost all of the water content removed through drying methods.

The fruit shrinks during this process, leaving a small, energy-dense dried fruit.

Raisins are the most common type, followed by dates, prunes, figs and apricots.

Dried fruit is highly nutritious.

One piece of dried fruit contains about the same amount of nutrients as the fresh fruit, but condensed in a much smaller package.

By weight, dried fruit contains up to 3.5 times the fiber, vitamins and minerals of fresh fruit.

Dried fruit generally contains a lot of fiber and is a great source of antioxidants, especially polyphenols. Polyphenol antioxidants are associated with health benefits such as improved blood flow, better digestive health, decreased oxidative damage and reduced risk of many diseases. 

Several studies have shown that people who eat dried fruit tend to weigh less and ingest more nutrients, compared to individuals not eating dried fruit.

That's why dry fruit is the perfect snack option for people that doesn't have enough time for cooking or the perfect option if you want to eat in class.

Reflection

I tried to attach the Document but I couldn't, so I take them a photo,and I don't know why it didn't appeared when I published the blog. This exercise was very fun and I enjoyed a lot making the commercial in the class room. 

AUTOBIOGRAPHY


My name is Ivette Caudana and I was born in a small island near to Cancún in one day of may twenty one years ago.   My mom was a tourist from barcelona who fall in love with a sympathetic buisness man (who feel like a fisherman) from veracruz, they meet each other in Isla Mujeres and I was born a year after that. 
The first seven years of my life I grow up in that island, surrounded by trees, ocean, sand and love. I used to spend all my days swimming in the caribbean sea or climbing coconut trees in my garden. I loved to live barefoot and shirtless like "Mowgli" style. In that time there were not good elementary schools in Isla Mujeres, that's why my mom decided to give me a home education and I was completly happy with that. 
When i was seven my oldest brother died and my parents decide to divorce, then my mom and I went to Barcelona to be near the family. 
That year was whole an adventure, we passed from living in a lonely island to move into a big city. I didn't liked the city lifestyle and my mom either so we decide to move into a small town called arenys de mar near to barcelona. We spent two years there and that was the first time i went to a regular school. 
One day my mom decided to turn back to Cancun (I don't know why because she always regret about it) and I started studying in Monteverde school. 
When i finished high school I went to barcelona again and lived with my grandparents for a year. My mom wants me to stay there but I missed her so much and I decided to turn back. 
When I finished studying I buyed a combi and started traveling around Mexico with my dogs. I loved all the places I knew a I feel completely free. I spend a year traveling and selling art crafts, the perfect hippie uthopy.


I tuned back to cancun and stayed for a time, but a year ago I wanted to study veterinary and I went to Mexico City where I was accepted in the UNAM. That was the worst year in my life, I hated to live in a big city, besides my dad gets sick and I was long away from him, I couldn't afford it so I decided to turn back AGAIN! 
I decided to study Architecture and that was the best decision i could do, I love what I'm doing and I'm very happy with my life. 

REFLECTION
This exercise served me to practice my grammar so as to improve vocabulary, it was a challenge for me because I'm not very good in grammar or writing. 
This kind of exercises are the ones that I feel that help us more to improve. 

FCE SPEAKING RUBRIC


I didn't came the day that this exercise was made, so I asked to my classmates to help me. I printed the rubric from vanessa's notebook and Isis qualify me (that's why you can see the corrections)
With this exercise I could know how Is my english speaking and how to improve it.

1- TERM EXAM

REFLECTION
With this exercise i noticed that I need to improve my organization and do some memory exercises. The teacher told me more than once which where the exam pages that I had to put in my portfolio but I completely forgot it. I hope these are the good ones. 

                                CAFETERIA




The school cafeteria is extremely important because we spend most of our day in school and we often have to recure to it.  But the problem is that our school cafeteria (and most school cafeterias in the country) dosen't have healthy food, they just sell chips, candys and high-fat meal like molletes de chorizo and hamburguers. That is detrimental to students, because without good nutrition obesity problems will appear soon, besides that students will not have enough nutrients for a good intellectual performance and their scores will be low. Thats why I want to propose a new cafeteria menu with more healthy and vegetarian choices like falafels, vegetable crepes or cereal with fruit. This is a low cost proposal that could change the school life of all the students and teachers. Making changes in our cafeteria menu will not only benefit the students and teachers that usually eat there but also the people who manage it.  It's not about taste, it's about health.




REFLECTION

This kind of exercise not only help us to improve our writting, but also help us to think in new ways to improve our school.

GRAMMAR QUIZZES

Because some health issues I failed in coming to a lot of classes, that's why my grammar quizzes are so poor. Even so I've improved my english grammar little.
