Home remedies

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is one of the most effective natural remedies in treating a cold because it increases the production of white blood cells, and it can also help to prevent the multiplication of viruses while reducing mucus and inflammation in the nasal passageways.

You can take vitamin C in a pill form, but other foods that are surprisingly packed full of vitamin C include oranges, cauliflower, lemons, broccoli, strawberries, cabbage, peaches, kiwi, tomatoes, and parsley.

Chicken soup

Chicken soup is packed full of nutrients and vitamins that are essential when treating a common cold. Scientific studies have shown that it can actually thin mucus secretions, and the carbohydrates from the broth and noodles can help maintain your child’s energy level as well.

In the picture 3, there are two little girls. Both of them are sleeping with  their eyes closed. One girl is resting her head in the shoulder of the other girl. They are wearing shirts. I  think they looks very relax and comfortable.

In the picture 5, there are a young woman and a man, both of them are sitting together next to each other in a table. The man is smiling and looking at the girl, and the woman is also is looking to him with her elbow over the table. There is also a newspaper on the board and it has written a crosswords and some answer on it. I think they are trying to spend the time or are waiting for someone.

In picture 6 there is a woman walking a big road in the sunshine. She is wearing shorts, a jacket and sneakers. She is outside and it looks warm and sunny. I think she is happy and enjoying the moment.

Semi-formal E-mail asking

Dear Mr. Brown,

I read your advertisement for learning to sail and I am very interested in joining to the class. However, I would like to ask you a few questions about it.[A1] 

First of all, when exactly it is? Also, how much does it the class cost? Secondly, your ad mentions teaching in small groups and I would like to know the number of people in each group. Besides I need information about the types of accommodation and other activities. In addition of this, will I need to bring any special clothes or equipment with me?

Finally, mi little sister would like to join in too, but she is only 8. Is she too young to take part pf it?[A2] 

Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

David Enriquez.[A3]

Caves

I'm in a dark cave, so, I can't see anything! I have a small lantern and all I can see is a wall of rocks, the floor is full of stones too and with a bit of water. I only hear my respiration and the echoes of my movements, I also hear the water's flow, the sounds of drops falling to the floor and some mouse-like chirps. I'm a bit scared but also I feel a sort of excited, I have never been in a place like this.

Global Warming

Causes

·         Scientists are more than 90% certain that it is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. Electricity causes pollution in many ways, some worse than others.  In most cases, fossil fuels are burned to create electricity.

Effects

• Ice is melting worldwide, especially at the Earth’s poles. This includes mountain glaciers, ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland, and Arctic sea ice.
• Sea level rise became faster over the last century.
• Precipitation (rain and snowfall) has increased across the globe, on average.
• Decline of certain species as the Adélie penguins on Antarctica.  Some butterflies, foxes, and alpine plants have moved farther north or to higher, cooler areas. Spruce bark beetles have boomed in Alaska thanks to 20 years of warm summers. The insects have chewed up 4 million acres of spruce trees.

Effects could happen later, if warming continues

• Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23.
• Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger.
• Species that depend on one another may become out of sync.
• Floods and droughts will become more common.
• Less fresh water will be available.
• Some diseases will spread, such as malaria carried by mosquitoes.
• Ecosystems will change—some species will move farther north or become more successful; others won’t be able to move and could become extinct.
