Zika virus is affecting and spreading hundreds of people every day. governments and health care institutions seem and claim to be doing something to stop this desease, but until this day there is no a vaccine to prevent it yet, but there are a couple of precautions people can take into account to avoid suffering from this desease , such as sleeping under mosquito nets and use insect repelents but are this precautions enough? It is clear that even taking those precautions the virus continues affecting people and zika virus it is becoming a dangerous virus because now it is affecting newborns which tell us that the virus is out of our hands and that it doesn’t matter what people try to do to preventing, it will continue to spreading if real precautions are no taking in to account.

At the beginning cellphones looked like a god idea, actually technology itself looked like a good idea, but nowadays it seems to be something that it is taking control of our lives maybe the purpose at the beginning was to make our life easier and humans supposed to have the control of it but it has turned all the way around. Maybe at the beginning the purpose of social media was to get us close to our loved ones but it’s clearly doing the opposite, because we can be at a familiar reunion or hanging out with friends and we supposed to spend time with them but instead we are wasting time looking at our cellphones ignoring those who love us, we are losing touch with them, social media is leading us to feel disconnected and distracted by silly things. Maybe it’s time for us to think about what really matters and leave aside those thing that are taking us away from it.

I have heard lots of times that the world produces the double of food to feed the world’s entire population and it is ironic that there are still countries, cities, and families that struggle every day to get some food , and the reasons are clear there is a bad distribution of goods around the world. In some countries obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, so we have two situations going on here: some people are starving and some people are obese, well I think it is because of the same reason: poor nutrition. People that is starving don’t take enough and good nutrients, people that is obese have a malnutrition because they eat more than they need and take bad nutrients, good news is that there are organizations trying to stop world hunger and trying to control obesity, but again it doesn’t matter what others are trying to do, it is all about what we decide to do.

Inventions are a big part of the modern world because everything that ancient people create has been recreated and the result is that inventions are better now. If the inventions are good for humans or not it is questionable, because some inventions make our lives better and some other are leading us to live a sedentary and lazy life. Humans came up with inventions to make them a kind of a help, but that help is turning against us, because we are depending on inventions to live. Sometimes we tend to think that we are not able to live without them, but we can surely do it, just like people at the beginning did it. What I can tell from the picture is that inventions are a key for us to succeed in life; it is just a matter of using them in an appropriate and responsible way.

Comprehension

Fluency

Expression

Improve vocabulary

Reading and speaking are important parts of human communication, this parts are developed individually, and while we improve them we have also the opportunity to develop others areas such as writing and listening.
It is important to have a certain domain in these areas in order to have a functional communication, and as mentioned before what it is interesting about improving our reading or speaking skills is that the improvement of this areas lead us to the development of others for example the more we read the more vocabulary we get and our understanding gets also better, which is an advantage because we are able to reach a level of naturality when we speak, write or read .
As learners of a second language it is important for us to try to improve our skills so we can be more fluent, and able to express ourselves in an effective way.

During the process of making this portfolio various topics were taken into account, from social issues to reading and writing strategies. Even though it seems that the topics are no related, at the end of the portfolio everything had one same goal: to improve one’s reading and conversation skills.
