Hi Graham, last week i talked to that new machine (!) to tell you my feedback about the 2nd term. have you received it? i've been to podomatic and i haven't seen anything! so...probably i'm doing something wrong. anyway, i'm going to write about science and can we trust it?
Science must be trusted. It has been science that has saved thousands of people. Its progress, fights, failures and successes are indeed the proof that today Humanity lives in better conditions than ever. Take for instance the Middle Ages. At that time, not dying from plague or leprosy was a miracle. If we analyse the XXth century with a scientic look, the discoveries were absolutely extraordinary. Between two World Wars, antibiotics and anaesthesia took their paths without any fear. Nowadays, diseases such as meningitis, tuberculosis, mumps, measles, polio or tetanus have been eradicated in some countries with the simple gesture of a vaccine. Contagious, infectious or even fatal virus or bacterias have disappeared with the help of drugs. Nevertheless, the moment plants, animals and human beings exist and, by some reason, their way of life is threatened with exctintion or overpopulating, Nature has its amazing capacity of them face another cycle of virus, infections and diseases to balance the ecosystem. In a rush, scientists dedicate their all lives running into their laboratories to find out another cure for these new calamities. Cancer, malaria or Aids are new words in all dictionaries, encyclopedias and medical books. The expulsion of hundreds of thousands of people from one country to another, the lack of hygienic conditions in many countries, the human errors done against their own habitats represents, without a shadow of a doubt, several catastrophes of enormous proportions. and the only way to save Earth and its inhabitants is to trust Science that doesn't give hypocrite lectures of moral standards. Science never gives up. It tries to find out the cure of a bite of an insect whose name noone has never heard before. maria antónia

Hi Graham,
how are you? hope you're OK.
i wasn't at British Council last Thursday. I was really tired. I'll do the homework about "Get fit, live longer" and i'll send it by this blogue.
i think that i won't be in your classes on the 29th May nor on the 5th of June. i have to check with the teachers of the post-graduation.
anyway, if i can, i'll be there.if not, can you send me the homework (if there's another one) by this blogue?
Thanks and see you soon, maria antónia
