Summary

In his article "On Beyond 100" published in the National Geographic Magazine, Stephen S. Hall gives us clues about the importance our genes might have on the road to longevity, and to disease-free old age.

The article talks about how, for example, in a small village in Calabria, Italy, a geneticist and a geriatrician investigate the secret of the longevity of many of its inhabitants. They have discovered that although they have been consumers of a diet with very few calories, possibly there is a genetic component linked to their longevity, which casts doubt on the belief <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">comes to demystify the fact </s>that the secret <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">of</s> to a long life is only in food.

Stephen Hall explains how the scientific community is already focusing on genetic research <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">thanks to medical advances. Above all</s>, specifically in small isolated populations where the main component is good health in old age. For example, in Ecuador, there is a population in which <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">where </s>there are more cases of a genetic mutation that causes growth problems and that adults look like children, is the so-called Laron syndrome. However, it is proving that this mutation could protect them from diseases as important as cancer or diabetes.

Why is important to know ESA techniques as a tool to teach

To plan a motivated, organized and productive class, it is important for teachers to know and internalize <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">interiorize</s> the ESA methodology. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">although</s> However, if teachers haven't had any contact with students it is also a good chance to know and put into practice those techniques and keep in mind what students need<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">s</s>, their culture and also to have awareness <s>on</s> of planning activities because some kinds of signals or sounds may not be the same for foreign students and may confuse <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">get</s> them <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">confused</s> to achieve topics previously planned (not sure what you are trying to say here). Being aware of what students are required to learn<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">,</s> at the same time will help to understand their goals, weaknesses, knowledge, and interest will increase teacher's understanding to prepare suitable material/activities for them. On the other hand, when students are showing the other side <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">part</s> of the coin, it denotes that teachers mostly are not using accurate (appropriate ?)activities.

Using the correct methodology also increases students'<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">s</s> interest, motivation, and understanding even though when some don't have the same language exposure. It is not easy to acquire the language in a natural way, and this is where teachers play an important role to be more creative and to support student needs using better techniques for their understanding of the language.

What do you eat?

I think paying attention to your diet <s>taking care of food</s> is always good, but if you are close to 60, it is essential to watch your diet <s>take care of your food much</s> more closely. You need to eat more protein and less carbohydrates and fat and if possible for you, do not eat any sugar.

Walk at least an hour every day and if you can swim, great! Because it is one of the best sports for your circulation, your muscles, your lungs, your heart and, above all, your mood.

What do you prefer, live years with quality of life or live many years with less quality of life?

Best regards

Grammar

Hi, everyone

Which of these sentences is right?

(an American federal official speaking) "We've had people come in WHO don't have any legal documents, and that's bad." or "We've had people WHO don't have any legal documents come in, and that's bad"

It would be better to say something like"

But it really depends on the situation, level of formality etc.

Thank you

Celebity'ş role

The role of the celebrities in global aid organizations is sometimes questioned among people and there is no concensus on it. Some people support the idea of including celebrities <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">putting the famous one’s </s>in<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">to</s> the aid campaigns, whereas others are opposed to that. This essay will try to take a look into that debate and give the opinions of the writer in the conclusion.

According to the supporters of the celebrities in aid campaigns, the most important thing is to use the celebrities’<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s </s>power to influence <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ing </s>society<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> </s>and capture <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">take</s> their attention. While the celebrity has many followers, he/she can manage to motivate people to take action <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">into</s> on the problems and collect a huge amount of money in a very short time.

The opponents of <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ser to </s>the celebrities claim that the famous people may use such campaigns for their own interest- and advertisements. According to them, the celebrities’<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s</s> (or celebrity's followers if you meant to talk about one celebrity) followers are not really interested in the problems and after the end of the aid campaign, they may forget these problems and return to their imaginary world.

I think the celebrt<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ie’s</s> (celebrities' for plural possessive, or celebrity's for singular possessive) role might be <s>extravaganzzed</s> (exaggerated?)and I don’t support to put them into the aid organizations. In the 1980’s, there were LiveAid organizations. They were really very big and well-organized campaigns and aimed to helped African people who were suffering from hunger. During the campaign, society’s attention and awareness were very high <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">on the top</s> but after it ended, the Africans were left alone<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">, </s>again. But the celebrities who took part in that campaign became more popular and famous.

Part 2 - Toxic relationships

From my point of view, if trust issues are not the number one reason for toxic relationships, they have to be one of the leading causes. Trust is essential in a marriage or romantic relationship since it serves as a foundation to build a feeling of safety and security. A healthy relationship cannot grow without trust. Sometimes, previous life experiences can severely affect our ability to trust <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">in </s>other people. Trust issues in a relationship can instigate fear, judgment can become clouded and doubts and suspicions may grow. People with lack of trust begin to constantly accuse their partner of being dishonest. They are always stalking their partner’s social media activities. They get really upset whenever their partner chooses to go out without them. They want to be close to their boyfriend or girlfriend all the time because they feel it is the only way to really keep an eye on them. If you ask me, at this point, the relationship is far from being a bed of roses, but rather a nightmare.
