How has your learning process in English III been with Lisette Lunar?

Over this semester I was able to learn several aspects of written English that I didn’t knew about before, such as some new vocabulary, writing techniques, the different types of paragraphs that can be used in texts, and to organize all the primal ideas to be express on a text before starting to write. Trough all I am very pleased to say that I feel an upgrade on my writing in English, which was a primal goal for me in this class. Do to the methods of teaching of my professor Lisette Lunar, I must say that it was a good experience to learn from her, because she is a talented professional and a very understanding person who can help you not only with your work in class but also with any doubts that you can have over the process. Now I feel more capable to express myself in English, and to write a more meaningful and coherent text in other tongue that’s not my native language.

It’s common to think that eating too much chocolate can rot teeth, produce acne and be a major cause of overweight, but thanks to the research work of some scientists these believes are been discredit. For example, it’s not true that eating chocolate can cause acne or make it worse, because this illness is produced by the concentration of several bacteria and germs on the skin’s surface. Nor is chocolate a threat to healthy teeth, because cocoa and chocolate have properties that work against sugar’s tendency of producing oral bacteria, that leads to dental decay.

In addition, chocolate may not be the healthiest snack in the market, but it does contain a number of nutrients and chemicals that make us good. Is high in potassium and magnesium, it has vitamins B1, D, E, and B2, plus it has flavonols that prevent arterial clogging; furthermore as for calories, the average chocolate bar has 250 calories, low enough to be consumed as an occasional treat. It also contains over 300 chemicals, some of them having a positive effect over our brain waves, endocrine secretions such as endorphins, and mood shifts, helping us to feel good, happy and satisfied.

Chocolate’s appeal doesn’t lay over only on its flavor, but also in all the benefits and unknown effects that produces in our minds and bodies. So it’s time to give chocolate a second chance, grab a piece and enjoy all the sensorial experience.
