work-shop.

after class I went to the work-shop. We were working in subject-verb agreement. This session was useful . I think that each student is trying to improve his/her abilities to learn English. Besides, teachers struggle every day to push to the students to reach their goals. In the work-shop of today ,the teacher said that there are a big resemblance between all Spanish students because we usually forget to use the subject pronouns in each sentence. I think every student wants to do his/her better effort. In this moment I had headache . I have a lot information in my head. I want to go to take a rest.
I will try again

Today, after college I went to Jamaica. I spent almost four hours traveled by train and bus ( I went and came back) .I was looking the attitude of several people. I saw that almost all people were unfriendly,especially in the train. There were a lot of people reading, playing video games and listening music. Everybody was busy and anybody gave attention to the others people. This behaivor is the same every day. The people are isolated from the other people. I know that each person has his/her own live and usually each person is busy all time. However ,everybody could be more friendly and give a smile to the other people. when one is a strange , a greet could made the day more enjoyable to everybody. I hope that I

A strange personality

Everybody has different personality and the behavior of each person will have a good or bad influence throughout his/her life. Also, each behavior will have a different effect on other peoples. Even though each person has individual personality, there are some personalities that affect the relationship with the people. For example , I don't like these peoples that are egotistical and picky. These kinds of people think that he/ she is better than others and nothing that you make is enough or right. This week I met someone with these characteristics. I think, this chauvinist man will be alone and unhappy for long time , unless he changes his thoughts . He will should learn that the life is more easy if everybody is sensible, sensitive, reasonable and thoughtful. Besides, He will realize that everybody needs tolerance to keep any relationship.

She is friendly and a faithful pet. She likes playing with the children and bustle around the house . Burbuja is a special pet and everybody enjoys her company.

ONE OF MY GOALS.

I am worried about my educational process. I know that I need to improve my english because it is the key for getting a better future. However, I can't spend a lot of time studying only grammar,comprehension, ect. I want to enhance my knowledge and understanding regarding physical therapy terminology and a lot of topics of physical therapy in english. One of my goals is to pass the physical therapy licensing exam.! It is difficult but not impossible ! . Even though I has been studying several books about this subject, I think that it isn't enough. I hope to pass the placement test and the TOEFL exam very soon. If I get it I might study some specific programs , and it help me to
familiarizing with my profession.

the skin

On of the topics of this week was body language. I think that it was very interesting to learn about different customs regarding the act of touching the human body in several counties. I want to talk of one things that is similar for everybody and without this structure the human body will not feel any sensation when is touched for someone.
" The Skin and its process of perception ". The skin covers the entire external surface of the human body. It has multilpes roles in the process of perception . Perception is the way in that the human body use your senses to feel a lot of sensations. It occurs through some structures called receptorses, which permit the that body feels a lot of sensations like cold, heat, pain, pleasure and pressure when someone or something touch the body.
There are several benefits that the human body receives through touching the skin. For example the massage is one techinique that has some benefits, like reduce pain and alleviate the muscular tension. Also , the massage increase the normal motor development of children during their first five years.
The skin is a structure that gives a lot of benefits for the body, then for me the act of touching the skin always will be rigth .
