 PREGUNTAS

1. Not everything is true (5 points)

1.1. Choose a vitamin or health supplement advertised in magazines,

television, newspapers, etc.

Vitamin B1

1.2. Research about it on the Internet or in drugstores: list the ingredients,

benefits, etc.

What is it?
Thiamine is a vitamin, also called vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 is found in
many foods like yeast, cereal grains, beans, walnuts and meat. It is
often used in combination with other B vitamins and is found in many
vitamin B complex products. The vitamin B complex usually includes
vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin /
niacinamide), Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine),
vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) and folic acid. However, some products
do not contain all of these ingredients and some may include others,
such as biotin, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), choline bitartrate and
inositol.
People take thiamine for diseases caused by a low level of thiamine
(thiamine deficiency syndromes), including beriberi and inflammation of
the nerves that are outside the brain (peripheral neuritis). This disease
is associated with pregnancy or with a vitamin deficiency disease called
pellagra.
Thiamine is also used for digestive problems, including lack of appetite,
ulcerative colitis and chronic diarrhea.
Thiamine is also used for AIDS and to strengthen the immune system,
for diabetic pain, heart disease, alcoholism, aging, for a type of brain
damage called cerebellar syndrome, for mouth ulcers, vision problems
Such as cataracts and glaucoma, for motion sickness and to improve
sports performance. It is also used for the prevention of cervical cancer
and to prevent the progression of kidney disease in patients with type 2
diabetes.
Some people use thiamine to maintain a positive mental attitude; To
increase learning capacity; To increase energy; To fight against stress;
And to prevent memory loss, including Alzheimer's disease.
Health care providers give thiamine injections for a memory disorder
called Wernicke's encephalopathy syndrome, for other thiamine
deficiency syndromes in critically ill patients, for alcohol withdrawal and
for coma.
How effective is it?
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database classifies efficacy, based
on scientific evidence, according to the following scale: Effective,
Probably Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Probably
Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence for Make a
determination.
The effectiveness rating for this product is as follows:
Effective for...
Metabolic disorders. Intake of thiamine helps to correct the
metabolic disorders associated with genetic diseases, including
Leigh's disease, urine disease with maple syrup scent, among
others.
Lack of thiamine. Thiamine intake helps prevent and treat
magnesium deficiency.
Cerebral disorder due to lack of thiamine (Wernicke-Korsakoff
syndrome). Thiamine helps to decrease the risk and symptoms of a
brain disorder called Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) that is
related to low levels of thiamine (thiamine deficiency) and is often
seen in alcoholics. It is believed that between 30% and 80% of
alcoholics are thiamine deficient. Taking thiamine injections seems
to help decrease the risk of developing WKS and decreasing WKS
symptoms during alcohol withdrawal.
Possibly effective for...
Waterfalls. Intake of thiamine as part of a diet that is associated with
a decreased risk of developing cataracts.
Prevention of kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
Preliminary research shows that taking high doses of thiamine (100
mg three times a day) for three months significantly decreases the
amount of albumin in the urine in the People with type 2 diabetes.
Albumin in the urine is an indicator of kidney damage.
Painful menstruation (Dysmenorrhea). Preliminary research
suggests that 90-day thiamine intake stops the pain associated with
menstruation in women aged 12-21 years.
 Possibly ineffective for...
Mosquito repellent. Some research shows that consumption of B
vitamins, including thiamine, does not help repel mosquitoes.
Insufficient evidence to make a determination to...
Athletic performance. Some research suggests that ingestion of
thiamine together with pantethine and pantethine acid (vitamin B5)
does not improve muscle strength or endurance in athletes.
Prevention of cervical cancer. Some research suggests that
increased consumption of riboflavin in diet and supplements, along
with folic acid, riboflavin and vitamin B12, may decrease risk

1.3. Write an advertisement promoting this vitamin or health supplement,

mentioning the advantages of taking it and the instructions on how to use
it. Write the warning, too. Use pictures; be persuasive.

2. A travel blog (10 points)

2.1. Brainstorm a list of personal travel experiences with your friends (5)

2.1.1. Nothing better than going to the museum on those rainy days! When
the day is sunny the last thing you want to do is go to a museum, so
 the best time is to go when it rains, it is an activity that will take you
several hours and keep you entertained, even to go with kids.
2.1.2. Going to the mall is a great idea, you always have to bring some gift
to return from the holidays, why not take advantage of rainy days? In
addition there are usually activities for the whole family, while you
have coffee, your children can play in a playground.
2.1.3. Ufff this is my favorite, there is nothing better than going to the
movies on a rainy day and if that accompanies you with a dinner may
be the perfect plan.
2.1.4. If you were not careful and did not take any books, this plan can be
accompanied by a visit to the bookstore and a coffee shop, the
equation would be: a good coffee + a good book + rain = perfect plan
to spend the afternoon.
2.1.5. Whether on a family holiday, with a couple or with a friend, the board
game is a good option to spend an afternoon, a good game of TEG,
Basket, Race of mind, Monopoly or whatever your preference will
make you spend a while Very nice, and if you do not have any board
games, you can install one on your tablet.
Even a Questioned game, using only their phones, can mean several
hours of fun.

2.2. Select your favorite personal anecdote.

I remember that I was 6 years old and my house was very small because
my parents had just bought it, I remember well that day when one of my
uncles came to my house with a gift for me, which I liked a lot, it was my
first car Of collection that I had of gray color, is a mustang GT500, that
gift I still keep it because to me I like the cars a lot and thanks to that gift
I now have a large collection of cars on a shelf in my room, I remember
that day my Uncle came to my house to say goodbye because the next
month he went to the United States, and now I only have contact with him
through the chat and I hope he will soon return.

2.3. Write draft describing what happened

When at some point I have regressed in time, I could not help feeling a
certain air of nostalgia, remembering the people who are no longer here,
although I have to recognize that one of the happiest stages of my life
has been my Childhood, because there were no responsibilities, no
worries, no burdens, no rush, and time seemed to go slower than now.
 The stage of my childhood was very endearing, warm, surrounded by the
affection and protection of my family, and the game reigned in my infantile
world, I remember that I loved to make reality the stories that told me the
majors or those that I read, From there to the princesses to give them life
in me, disguising me in long nightgowns that my mother left me, and I
saw myself reflected as a princess, in this way, made my favorite stories
come true.

2.4. Put your anecdotes together into a travel blog

Hello. I was in Jaen four years ago and I would not know where to start.
It was twenty days well used, from Chepn to Jaen in the north, going
down in 4x4 to the capital and four days in a Bagua located on the east
coast of the isthmus.
Everything is amazing its people, the landscape monuments, the night
march we go a place to never leave. A journey that I will never forget in
life because I do not think I can do it ever again. Another place I would
like to visit Jaen would be.
We went to the adventure without knowing very well where we were going
to sleep every night but we usually ended up in guest house that there
are everywhere. In Bagua in hotel directly. We were left with the desire
to cross the border with the jungle in a lightning trip depart See the
temples but everyone told us to take the idea of the head and change it
for the four days in the jungle (to freak out, we cannot get an idea of the
march that was there).

3. What do if..? (5 points)

3.1. Think of an earthquake and its consequences

Earthquakes, seismic movements or earthquakes are called sudden and

sudden movements of the soil, of extremely variable intensity, ranging
from the slight shaking that only registers the most sensitive devices, and
the strong ones that devastate the cities.
We have the impression that we tread solid ground, but it is not so. The
Lithosphere is subject to movements, which occur very frequently, called
earthquakes.
The earthquakes that occur each year are estimated in hundreds of
thousands of them; the observers register more than thirty thousand
annually. Fortunately, most occur in ocean bottoms.
 The study of earthquakes is the subject of a special science, seismology
dealing with the physical description of an earthquake (propagation,
duration, speed, effects, etc.) the relationship between it and the nature
of the land where produces.
It distributes earthquakes geographically and deals with those that
occurred in the past. As an earthquake is not a simple and isolated fact,
the seismologist to study it needs to know the physical nature of a seismic
movement, the various vibrations of the earth layers and elements of an
earthquake, ie the location where it occurs, time , Duration, direction,
character, intensity, number of shakes, effects and causes.

3.2. Make a list of suggestions related to the possible problems you might face
in this situation.

What is the problem? It can be many things. Our instinct tells us when
there is a problem, even if we can translate it into words or not. Maybe
we feel uncomfortable in a certain place, but you do not know exactly
why. A problem may simply be the feeling that something is wrong and
that it must be corrected. We might feel some sense of affliction or
injustice.
Put simply, a problem is the difference between what is and what could
or should be. "No child should go to bed hungry, but this happens to a
quarter of all children in the country" is a clear and strong statement about
a problem. Another example may be, "Communication in our office is not
very clear." In this example, the explanation of what "could or should be"
is simply alluded to.
As these problems illustrate, some are more serious than others; The
problem of child hunger in children is a much more severe problem than
the fact that the new youth center lacks physical exercise equipment,
although both are problems that can and should be addressed.
Generally, problems affecting groups of people - children, adolescent
mothers, the mentally ill, the poor - can at least be addressed and in many
cases diminished using the process outlined in this chapter.
Although the organization may have decided to address a seemingly
insurmountable problem, the process that will be used to solve it is not
complex. This, however, takes time, both to formulate it and to analyze it
completely. Most people underestimate the work they need to do and the
time they need to spend on it. However, this is the cornerstone, the
foundation with which to propose effective solutions. This is not the time
to take shortcuts.
Three basic concepts form the core of this chapter: clarifying, deciding
and analyzing. Let's look at each one in due time.
 Solving problems is one of the most challenging aspects of working
effectively with a group. It is also one of the most rewarding. By working
together, groups can overcome obstacles that individuals have found
insurmountable. As Margaret Mead reminds us, "There is no doubt that
a small group of thoughtful and committed citizens can change the world,
in fact, it is the only thing that has succeeded."

3.3. List some ideas on how to prevent serious injuries/accidents

Large numbers of people become overwhelmed by panic in the face of

an earthquake, unable to do anything. If they can not calm down, they
can lose their lives. This is why it is important to prevent earthquakes,
planning actions and tasks, to avoid the crisis at the crucial moment and
decision.
As we all know, earthquakes are unpredictable natural phenomena, so
knowing clearly what to do before, during and after is important for your
own safety and for the family.
Before the earthquake
Choose a safe and secure place inside the house. It should be placed
under a solid table or lean against an interior wall away from the window.
The drill of earthquake shaking is important, because this way you know
in advance how you will respond to this natural disaster. Practice, such
as clutching the table leg, choosing the positions and places that each
family member or company will take, will avoid confusions or injuries
during the earthquake.
Learning how to use the fire extinguisher and having some knowledge
of first aid, could be useful in the face of earthquakes. Preparing a small
medicine cabinet, some bottles of water, lamps and batteries, and placing
all these objects near the entrance will avoid risks and help to evacuate
the house quickly.
If you live in a zone of constant tremors, it would be advisable to secure
the furniture to the wall and place locks on its doors, so that they do not
open during the earthquake.
During the earthquake
The most important thing in the quake is to keep calm and reassure the
whole family. Then, place under tables, desks or at sites designated as
safe away from windows.
As earthquakes are often announced shortly it is imperative to keep in
mind that the gas faucets must be closed and the electrical appliances
disconnected as quickly as possible.
 After the earthquake
Specialists advise that when the jolt is over, it is important to keep the
position chosen. Check that you have no injuries and help other people
who have had injuries. Then exit the building or house carefully as there
may be debris or other aftershocks of the earthquake. Another tip is to
use the stairs to get out of the enclosure.
In addition, do not use the gas until the experts have verified that they
work correctly and safely, the same can apply to the electricity supply.
A detail to keep in mind, and that many specialists forget to mention, is
that when the earthquake is over, it is important not to saturate the
telephone lines, so that the health services can attend to the
emergencies.
Researchers around the world are studying how to prevent earthquakes
and anticipate the disasters it causes. As earthquake detection systems
improve, it is up to us to respond to these emergencies and reduce the
damage they cause.
3.4. Write a brochure with advice on what to do during an earthquake.
