ORGANIZER
P114
Paraphrasing p.119
The problem is that we oſten look for human traits when we study animal behaviour.

But what may be clever for us needn’t be a viable attribute in other members of the

animal kingdom.

(we look for animals to have thoughts like us but we do not realize that they have another type of
intelligence resulting in certain things being understandable for them but not for us)

Human intelligence is strongly linked to the language we use to communicate with one

another,” says Bøckman. “As long as we can’t communicate with animals, it’s really hard

to decide how smart they are.”

(It is said that language is like an intelligence given to understand that the more difficult languages
we know will determine how intelligent we are, concluding that we are not yet at the intelligence
of animals)

There are now numerous studies that compare the cognitive capabilities of various

species through investigations of their brains’ neural circuitry. is has contributed

toward answering questions about whether some of our human qualities can also exist

in other species and help lay the groundwork for better comparisons

(there are currently studies in which they study the genetics of animals comparing them with us
and seeing, looking for characteristics or our genes of humans in animals in order to determine
who is more intelligent or see more qualities)

Koko the gorilla
Born July 4, 1971, Koko was born Hanabi-ko, Japanese for "fireworks child,”
at the San Francisco Zoo. Researcher Francine Patterson began working with
Koko in 1972, teaching her sign language.
She was later moved to Stanford, and soon thereafter Patterson and
collaborator Ronald Cohn founded The Gorilla Foundation. In 1979 Koko
moved along with the group to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Research and work
with Koko, and other gorillas, has revealed that great apes have language
skills similar to small children. Anne Russon, a researcher at York University,
said that teaching Koko and other animals sign language, as opposed to
solely attempting verbal communication, was a “great leap forward.”
In addition to language, Koko's behavior also revealed emotions similar to
those of humans. Amongst the many human-like traits that made Koko special
was she seemed to have a sense of humor, and even a bit of playful
mischievousness. Koko was renowned as one of the most intellectual apes in
history, beloved by millions of people around the world. Under Patterson's
tutelage, she learned more than 1,000 words in sign language and came to
understand over 2,000 words spoken to her in English.
"She taught me more than I taught her, for sure," Patterson, 71, told ABC News
in a telephone interview Thursday. "She had opportunities to show her brilliance
and that’s what we saw. We saw a person, really. She had all the attributes of a
person and then some." Cynthia Gorney, a contributing writer for National
Geographic, interviewed Koko in 1985. At first, Koko did not seem to warm to
Gorney, calling her a toilet via sign language. As Gorney recalls, Patterson
reprimanded her, saying, “Koko! That is not nice." But Koko warmed to her
interviewer quickly, and when Gorney asked Koko where gorillas go when they
die, she signed, “Comfortable hole bye."
Besides her National Geographic covers, Koko appeared in several
documentaries, and famously interacted with actor Robin Williams in a 2001
video, in which she played with Williams and tried on his glasses.The Gorilla
Foundation said it a statement that it “will continue to honor Koko’s legacy and
advance our mission” by studying sign language in great apes and pursuing
conservation projects in Africa and elsewhere

Where was koko born?

Koko was born in hanabi-ko,Japanese
When was koko born?
Koko was born july 4 1971.
What is the main idea of the article?
The main idea is telling the koko’s history showing who was him and what thing did.

P138
Bioethicist Daniel Callahan asked, when talking about the potential for doubled lifespans,
“ ‘What will we get as a society?’ I suspect it won’t be a better society.” On a separate
piece of paper, write a paragraph about whether you agree or disagree with his
statement. Support your answer with at least three pieces of information from Step 1
I agree that it will not be a better society. We have to analyze well how our life will change
if we double life expectancy, it will be more complicated. The aspect that will be most
affected is marriage. If we doubled life expectancy, we would get bored of living more
than 40 years with the same person. After all, marriages don't last forever, just thirty or
forty years and then you move on. So, a longer life will radically change the way we view
marriage. There will be a shift in emphasis from marriage as a lifelong union to marriage
as a long-term commitment. Multiple and brief marriages could become common.
Another aspect will be careers, which will necessarily be longer and the retirement age
will have to be pushed back. Competition for jobs would become fiercer as "middle-aged
freshmen" starting new careers compete with younger workers for a limited number of
entry-level positions. The worst thing is how corporations and universities can be
dominated by a few people if executives, managers and tenured professors refuse to
resign from their positions. Without a constant infusion of young talent and ideas, these
institutions could become stagnant.One of the most important aspects is the family
structure. The family structure will become somewhat unstable. Half siblings will be more
common. Eight or even ten generations could be alive simultaneously, such a large age
difference would radically change the way siblings or parents and their children interact
with each other.

SECOND DRAFT TEACHER’S CORRECTION
CORRECTED DRAFT
 REFLECTION:
These last few months of class have been more complicated and at the same
time I learned more things, which will help me a lot over time and thus
improve in the English language, last month in advanced 10 was somewhat
complicated since it was an introduction to what it would be write and write
paragraphs which is a very good thing since it helps oneself to raise their
skills in this subject of writing, at first it was somewhat complicated but over
time I adapted to the rhythm in question of the notes I kept in good notes
even though it wasn't always like that, but I was able to pass the month and
continue with the next.
This month advanced 11 has been more complicated than the previous one
since I learned new vocabulary and I learned to write essays more
thoroughly, which is something that I am not used to doing but I was able to
adapt to that, maybe this month has been more complicated than the
previous one but no It has been impossible to stay at the level, maybe I don't
have the best grades but I give my all to get good grades, the grammar and
vocabulary are new, maybe I have seen it before but this month I was able to
learn more about this vocabulary and grammar as well Thanks to your help,
Teacher Garay, I was able to understand more and write the paragraphs
better than I used to. I will follow your corrections in each piece of writing
and I will continue to make an effort. This month has been complicated but
very interesting, thanks to you, Teacher Garay,I hope to be able to move on
to next month.
Next month in Advanced 12 my expectations are perhaps very complicated,
that is to say these 2 months have been complicated every time the time
passed the other month is the last month of the race and at the same time I
know that it is the most complicated perhaps because after All this time I
have reached the end of the course and the truth is that I feel somewhat sad
because it has been like a daily routine for me, going to class and being able
to learn new things every day, be it vocabulary, grammar, writing, etc. The
 other month the last one is the most complicated but I know that I can get
through it with effort and determination since I never give up I always keep
going despite everything, the next month will be very good to define and be
able to improve everything I learned in these 3 years, without a doubt English
has opened many opportunities for me and at the same time makes me very
happy.
These 3 years that I have studied English at the icpna have been 3 very good
years and at the same time maybe bad for certain things, but the good thing
is that when I finish the course I will have a career which is very beneficial to
have as a young person and at the same time It opens many opportunities to
different jobs or things that arise in life without a doubt, studying English was
one of the best decisions I have made and if they asked me if I wanted to
continue in this I would say yes, and I thank each teacher in each cycle and
month for having taught me without a doubt I learned a lot and I know that I
will improve my English language and I will be a master in this.

UNIT PROJECT
In this unit, you have read a science fiction story about people living longer
lives. Even today, there are areas of the world as well as specific groups of
people who are already living lives that are significantly longer than average.
Areas where these people live are called “blue zones.” There are a number of
 reasons why people in these longevity hotspots seem to live longer than
most people
UNIT PROJECT
IKARIA, GREECE
1. How long do the people live?
- In Ikaria it was found that residents are several times more likely to reach
the age of 90+ compared to normal.
2. Where do they live, and what is their environment like?
- The longest-lived Ikarians tended to be poor people living in the island’s
highlands. They exercised mindlessly by just gardening, walking to their
neighbor’s house, or doing their own yard work.
3. What is their diet?
- Ikarians eat a variation of the Mediterranean diet, with lots of fruits and
vegetables, whole grains, beans, potatoes, and olive oil.
4. What is their lifestyle?
- They usually maintain a home vegetable garden, look out over the bright
blue Aegean Sea, walk in nature, pick and eat fresh fruits, vegetables and
nuts, drink wine with their friends and family, sleep well and taking a siesta
and eat according to the Ikarian Diet.
5. What do they do that is different from what most people do?
- They have a good physical condition, due to daily exercise of manual work
and rural life. The daily walks, which includes mountain. Also, they have
midday rest, even if it’s a short nap. They don’t use a lot of medicine, sexual
activity is common there, even in older people.
6. How do experts explain their longevity?
 - One explanation why they live so long is they eat a plant-based diet. Or it
could be the absence of sugar and white flour.
7. What can we learn from these people?
- We can learn to be grateful for the many things in the present rather than
be
in perpetual pursuit of the next thing in the future. We must spend time with
our family and friends, live our own life in the way we want and enjoy it.
