WEEK 23: PERSUASION (Pilar Victoria Martínez)



These are some expressions I found to persuade someone:
  • Come on. 
  • Give it a try. 
  • Try them on. 
  • Believe me, you’ll have fun times. 
  • Don’t be a spoilsport. 
  • It will be fun, I’m sure. 
  • You’ll enjoy it. Go. 
  • You won’t regret it. 
  • This is once in your lifetime, don’t waste it. 
  • It’s your only chance, try it. 
  • You wouldn’t find them twice, come on! 
  • You’ll never feel sorry 
  • You won’t regret it. 
  • This is once in your lifetime, don’t waste it. 
  • It’s your only chance, try it. 
  • You wouldn’t find them twice, come on! 
  • You’ll never feel sorry 
  • You won’t regret it. 
  • This is once in your lifetime, don’t waste it. 
  • It’s your only chance, try it. 
  • You wouldn’t find them twice, come on!

  • How I can persuade you to …?
  • Could you/Couldn’t you be persuaded …?  




Regarding hypothesis, I have found this abstract on the net:
We propose a hypothesis to explain the association between daily fluctuations in ambient air pollution, especially airborne particles, and death rates that can be tested in an experimental model. The association between airborne particulates and mortality has been observed internationally across cities with differing sources of pollution, climates, and demographies and has involved chiefly individuals with advanced chronic illnesses and the elderly. As these individuals lose the capacity to maintain stable, optimal internal environments (i.e., as their homeostatic capacity declines), they become increasingly vulnerable to external stress. To model homeostatic capacity for predicting this vulnerability, a variety of regulated physiologic variables may be monitored prospectively. They include the maintenance of deep body temperature and heart rate, as well as the circadian oscillations around these set-points. Examples are provided of the disruptive changes shown by these variables in inbred mice as the animals approach death. We consider briefly the implications that the hypothesis may hold for several epidemiologic issues, including the degree of prematurity of the deaths, the unlikelihood of a threshold effect, and the role that coarse, noncombustive particles may play in the association.

This week, in order to improve my English, I started watching a new series called “The OA”.

WEEK 28: CONNECTING WORDS (Pilar Victoria Martínez)

Imagen
By browsing the net, I have found this text and underlined the formal expressions in it: T he inequity in the distribution of wealth in Australia is yet another indicator of Australia's lack of egalitarianism . In 1995, 20% of the Australian population owned 72.2% of Australia's wealth with the top 50% owning 92.1% (Raskall, 1998: 287). Such a significant skew in the distribution of wealth indicates that, at least in terms of economics, there is an established class system in Australia. McGregor (1988) argues that Australian society can be categorised into three levels: the Upper, Middle and Working classes. In addition, it has been shown that most Australians continue to remain in the class into which they were born (McGregor, 1988: 156) despite arguments about the ease of social mobility in Australian society (Fitzpatrick, 1994). The issue of class and its inherent inequity , however, is further compounded by factors such as race and gender within and across t...

WEEK 20: RAVE REVIEWS (Celia Mantilla Fernández)

Imagen
First of all, here is the link of the review I´m gonna comment on:  https://geeks.media/classic-review-the-picture-of-dorian-gray To begin with, the first part of the review should include a eye-catching title, but it does not include it. The first two paragraphs could be mix into onebut it is a good introduction. Then we have a paragraph with further information. And then four paragraphs after that where the writer gives a detail summary of what is being reviewed. Finally we have the final paragraph where the writer states a good conclusion which includes some recommendations. This week I´ve tried to improve my English by watching some films in English.

WEEK 27: COMPLAINING (Pilar Victoria Martínez)

Imagen
Some other phrasal verbs are: beat down, get up, give away, back into, set about, be away, count down, etc. By searching of the internet, I have found a complaint letter in which many expressions to complain appears: Dear Sir/Madam:  I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction  at the disgraceful treatment I received at the Walford Branco of Stimpson’s Electronics yesterday afternoon. Firstly, the product I was given  was not the model I had asked for . The new X-401 calculator was demonstrated to me by the sales assistant, and I agreed to buy it. However, on unpacking my purchase, I saw that I had been given the smaller X-201 model instead. Furthermore, this calculator was much cheaper than the model I requested and paid for. It did not have many of the features I needed and was much more basic than the one I was shown to begin with. To make matters worse,   I was deeply offended by the behaviour of the sales a...
