Beth Israel Hospital, Some Patients Are Saying ‘Om,’ Not ‘Ah’

There is a foundation run by Donna Karan and they use methods combining Eastern and Western healing methods at Beth Israel Medical Center. They say that yoga, meditation and aromatherapy can enhance regimens of chemotherapy and radiation, and also they remark alternative treatments.
Fifteen yoga teachers are teaching at Beth Israel’s ninth-floor cancer to work with nonterminal patients, and nurses train in relaxation techniques with those people.
Their salaries, are being paid by Ms. Karan’s Urban Zen Foundation, and that fundation was created after her husband Stephan Weiss, 62, died of lung cancer in 2001.
the Urban Zen regime can reduce classic symptoms of cancer and its treatment, like pain, nausea and anxiety.

PerSonA PoeM

Yarella
positive, honest, Happy, talkative and friedly
who loves Rodrigo, her family, her dogs, books, music
who is afraid of darkness, loneliness and death
who wants to see this world in peace, nature reserves and balance natural
resident of a small part in the world

... Garrido =)

Acrostic poem...=)

Essay means"to try" and "to attempt".

Since first essays were writing

Students use them to improve their writing skills

After some years they become more interesting

Yet essays are very important in formal education

THE SECOND ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

"TV and our children, where is the limit?" , That is going to be my second topic.

I think that the enviroment and distractions such as tv transforms the mint of our children and it creates some changes in their behavior everyday.

MY FIRST ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

Hi!! Miss Sandra told us we had to write an essay, she gave us some themes. I want to choose "Should men be alowed to have more than one wife?"
I think that it is an excellent topic "The polygamy" I think that it is ussual for people with an specific culture and religious. It is not ussual but it exists in some parts of the world. It would be interesting search information about that topic.

Have a good day... Bye
=))

Which interview you consider to be the best and why? What did you learn from interviewing interesting people?

Good morning every one...
Well, I read some of my classmates's interview, and they are very good all of them, so congratulations for the excellent work.
I think that one of the best interview is the one of Andres Esteban Gûenante Garrido because he did a complete questionnaire, and wrote about many aspects of his mom's life.
I think that the questions were very interesting and I could realized that questions were well formulated... I enjoyed it very much.
What did I learn from interviewing intereessting people?
I learned about her life and the difficult things that she lived in the past. the most important in an interview is that you know a little bit more about the person, the professional... about her personal life.

I think there are three interesting things about writing an Argumentative Essay:

1. It has to have compositions such as advantages and disadvantages.
2. The argumentative essays have to express opinions and solutions to problems.
3. The argumentave essays have to have a purpose and a defined problem.
