Unit V. Feng Shui


Summary about Unit V. 

In this unit, we talked about the theory of Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a theory that teaches us how to organize things in a logical way.

According to the book, feng shui is the ancient Chinese art or practice of arranging the environment in order to achieve harmony in that space.

During the class, we had the opportunity to discuss everything about this theory, each student had the opportunity to give his or her thoughts about Feng Shui theory.

Most of the students agreed with this theory because it helps us to be more organize and also helps us to have a life of success.

We also talked about the spoken discourse connectors.

  5. So 
  6. As a result

Unit 7 Workplace Privacy

     There is a great controversy regarding the monitoring of jobs.

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...
