3. The advantages of GM foods are greater than the disadvantages. Agree or disagree and explain why.
Genetically modified food has been the subject of lots of debates for months. Us consumers here about it every single day whether it’s on the news or the newspapers. Everything is about food. But one particular issue we all wonder about is if the disadvantages of GM foods are less superior to the advantages. In this essay we will figure out if there are more advantages.
First of all the GM (genetically modified) food are safe. They are highly tested, follow the guidelines and must be approved by Canada Health to be on the market. All the tests are related to chemistry, molecular biology, toxicology and many more. It is also checked for potential long term health trends. Furthermore it could prevent undernourishment in others countries who truly need a supply of food because the “world population has topped 6 billion people and is predicted to double in the next 50 year(1)”. This matter could be a big problem and, without the technology of GM foods, how could we provide enough food for the whole world. Using this technology allows more productivity. As well the GM crops are able to be tolerant to harsh locations. So that it could be a lot easier for farmers to produce GM foods in many places. Moreover GM foods offer nutritional substance. For example with the “golden rice” that contains vitamin A that prevents millions of Asian kids to going blind.
Besides, there are others good aspects of GM foods. The crops we use to create GM foods are strong enough to be resistant to herbicide and pesticide. In addition to that, it could avoid severe damages on the environment because if a plant becomes more and more resistant to chemicals it will decrease the utility of it. On that same aspect, GM plants have also a positive impact on the environment. “Plants such as poplar trees have been genetically engineered to clean up heavy metal pollution from contaminated soil(2).” These GM plants can have a helpful affect on the groundwater pollution.
To sum up, of course there will always be a lot of controversy regarding GM foods. But GM foods could answer to the problem of starvation and malnutrition. It also has a constructive impact on the environment. The food is extremely supervised on the testing. The world can’t ignore all that technology could bring and all the benefits of it.

Course 3 : Reading comprehension course 2 – structure
1. Interest Level: This course a lot more practical than they others courses. This course on reading comprehension really gave me good advices. And it made me understand some things and made me realize that there’s many ways to structure a good text. I really liked that course.
2. Difficulty: It wasn't difficult at all. The course was simple and the course was well structured.
3. What I Learned (3):
- By using transitional words and phrases, which signal a move from one idea to the next, are transitional words that keep these events linked together in chronological order. Any logical paragraph would sound awkward without transitional words to guide the reader. The chronological order in a text is essential because especially with procedures. If you don't use a chronological order, you won't get the results you desire.
- People remember most what they learn first and last in a given session. I learned about a special technique when you build an argument: the "snow-ball effect". It's about organizing ideas by order of importance. It's to start with what's least important and head on with what's most important. Like a snowball it's getting more and more important. In order to convince your point of view on the reader (even if it's controversial) you have to finish with the most important point so that it would bring a bigger impact on the reader.
- And there's another structure that is often used: the compare and contrast technique. They compare and contrast aspects that must be comparable or parallel. When an aspect is discussed, that same aspect of another subject (whether it is similar to or different from that subject) must be discussed. This connection of the aspects is vital for the compare and contrast technique for a fair contrast. And it must have a point.
4. My score: I got 17 out of 25.
5. Course Rating: I give a 9/10 for this course only because it was very helpful. I understood many others ways to structure a text.
Course 4 : Vocabulary & Spelling 2: Roots, Prefixes, and Suffixes
1. Interest Level: I was fascinated by all the stuff I learned. It helped you increasing your understanding and figure out difficult words. Even with the most complicated words the course gave you tools to discover and reveal it's the meaning.
2. Difficulty: It wasn't difficult to follow and to comprehend. And still the exercises were quite supportive to help you understand the whole purpose of the course.
3. What I Learned (3):
- Sometimes you can recognize the sound of a word and still not understand what it means. So you have to look at the word's structure. Check if the word or a part of the word sound or look familiar. You can connect a part of a word to some other word you already know. You may hear words that are not in your vocabulary but identify them as being related to words you do know. Like for example the roots of words will give you clues about other words that share the roots or "family" of the word you know.
- An association with the meanings suggested by some prefixes can help you add to your reading, speaking, and listening vocabularies. And it would be a lot easier to distinguish complicated words by already knowing several prefixes.
- Adding a suffix often changes the function of the word in a sentence without necessarily changing the word's meaning. The suffix it's like a uniform that a word wears for a particular job in the sentence, just like you wear different outfits for different activities. But you have to be aware and make sure you know what the changed word means.
4. My score: 33/50 Some words were rough to figure out. But with practice I will be better.
5. Course Rating: 9.5/10 With the giving practices in the course I was able to increase my vocabulary and understand unfamiliar words. And it gives you constructive guidelines to truly help you grow your language like this one "You may already know a given root that can guide you in determining the meaning of an unfamiliar word. If you don't know the root by itself, you may recognize it from a word you know. By association, then, you link the known meaning to that of an unfamiliar word". I truthfully appreciated that course.

Position Statement
I'm a neutral in this affair.
There is a shocking high level of unemployment in Chile. The mine company Barrick Gold will sooner or later bring more jobs to the citizens. However that doesn't mean that everyone can be in this company. Only qualified and people with the right skills can be accepted has employees for the company. And this project will eventually take property out of people that were working the land for centuries. There’s a lot of other issues that should be
The entire world is based on the economy whether we like it or not. Even if we refuse the project, but in time another company would probably do the same. It's a never ending story. There will always be companies that will search and fight for natural resources such as mining. Mining was and still is the primary strength of the economy of Chile. So it’s hard to figure out whether we approve or not the project regarding the importance of the mine.
Sure it will take a long time to extract the gold out of the mountain (estimated period of time of 20 years), but after that what will happen? The majority of the Chilean is living thanks to the water supplied by the glacier. But what if the water gets so contaminated that it would be impossible to use it? These are big issues that shouldn’t be unheard.

Mid-term Writing Test
Introduction
Having a good sex life is one thing that everyone wishes to achieve with a partner. Everybody wants to be satisfied sexually. But sometimes when people aren't with someone some of them usually satisfied themselves with pornography. Is it normal to watch pornography? With my english classmates we decided to do a survey on pornography. Our method is based on questions that will help us find out if our hypothesis is right or wrong. We wanted to know if college boys think that pornography is normal and that girls think that pornography is harmful.
Method
First of all our methods were quite simple. We asked easy question such as “yes or no” questions. These questions we’re very useful to help us discover our hypothesis. We also asked people their point of view on what is pornography according to them. Moreover we invited them to tell us their opinion on if it was normal that people watch pornography and they had to explain why they we’re thinking that way. We wanted as well know if college students were open-minded or close-minded talking about pornography with others people like parents, friends and partners. This issue really gave us a good idea of our hypothesis because it reveals if they’re comfortable with this particular subject. Another amusing question we posed was if they caught someone watching pornography how they would react. Therefore these were all interesting questions we had to ask to help us get our answer to our hypothesis.
Results
With all our questions related to our supposition we were able to respond to our hypothesis. It was incorrect because we noticed that girls think that it’s typical too to watch pornography. However when we asked the girls if it’s normal the only thing they didn’t understand is why people are watching pornography. But girls say that there’s nothing wrong with watching pornography. Besides most of the female students we’re open-minded talking porno with people (partners, friends) and even some of them we’re indifferent discussing this topic with their parents. Nearly everyone – including boys – would be ease to watch pornography with their love partners. In addition, before we could guess our final answer, one particularly helpful question was if they would judge someone that watches pornography and the majority of both sex said they wouldn’t.
Conclusion
Finally most of the college students thought that watching pornography it’s ordinary. It is something usual that everyone – at least once in their life – would experiment. Nonetheless if it becomes an obsession and frequently consumed well now it is a problem.
