Unit 4

The tipping point.


In this unit we learned that a tipping point is an instant of change in someone’s life, actions or events that mark a present or a past. Are those small portions that are put together to make that something significant happened. A tipping point can be a discharge, get a real good occupation, get  something that you hadn’t before, the birth of your first child, etc.

Grammar
Adverb clauses of result
"So...that" vs "such...that". Both are used to explain the result or to explain an opinion about someone or something, but they have differences in their use in the sentence.

" So...that"
We can use "so" with "adjective+ that" to explain the result.
Example:
Deyanira is so busy that she never call me.

"Such...that"
We can use "such" with "adjective+noun+ that" to explain the result.
Example:
Madelines is such a nice person that all her friends love her.

Unit 7 Workplace Privacy

     There is a great controversy regarding the monitoring of jobs. Employers regularly feel the need to monitor their employees, because they are paying a time that must be used for the tasks for which they are paying. Sometimes workers are intentionally delayed, and they can also use the company's resources for personal tasks. This motivates owners and / or bosses to use certain forms of surveillance, which can range from security cameras to blocking certain content on the network to maximize productivity. On the other hand, there is the fact that surveillance can have an opposite effect on employees. The sensation produced by knowing that every action you take will be monitored, can create great tension, even anxiety in people. The boundaries between surveillance and stalking are very narrow and can be enclosed from time to time. For this reason there are certain statutes dedicated to supervising and guaranteeing privacy in workplaces, such as The Electronic Communic...

Unit 6 Spiritual Renuval

     In the time we live, people have hundreds of goals that lead them to enroll in hundreds of activities. To fulfill a goal such as buying a car, a house, a new telephone, filling people with satisfaction, the accumulation of material goods has become the way in which society measures success. But there is a very important aspect that has been left aside, and it is the spirit. This is like a container that is filling as we live. It is like filling a container with figures of different shapes, even if it is completed to the top it will always have empty spaces, but if water is poured, it will fill it completely. The spirit is the same, you have to fill it with things that do not leave empty spaces.      When we reach that point where we feel empty inside, a spiritual renuval is necessary. There are many ways to refill the spirit and each person must find their own way. Some read the bible, others go to places in search of peace and fleeing from the b...
