As we said before, people should find a good career like English, because it is one of
the most important languages all over the world, and in the same manner it is going to
help professionals to be able to develop a good work.
It is important to mention that our town nowadays is growing up and developing a very
demanding commercial and science area, moreover our city is full of foreigners whom
invest their money buying personal items among others. Because of that professionals
must be able to offer them a good and competitive service, and the best way to do that
is learning English as a second language.
DESCRIPTION:
The process of acquire English as a second language can be divided in two parts:
First Language Acquisition that studies the infants’ acquisition of their native language,
whereas Second Language Acquisition deals with the acquisition of additional
languages in both children and adults.
In this case the students are going to be working with the Second Language
Acquisition which is divided into four basic skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading and
writing.
OBJECTIVES:
There are many reasons why English and Science’s students are very close related; of
course it is proved that English as a second language is like “an open door”, that can
help you, and in which if you are really prepared you can enter to become a successful
person. The objectives are:

Nails and Hair
Nails are extensions of the epidermis found on the fingers and toes. Nails feel harder
than skin because they contain large amounts of a special kind of keratin called hard
keratin. Because our nails are strong, we use nails became dirty very easily. It’s very
important to keep your nails clean. Bacteria and fungi can live under the nail and in the
nail bed, the place where the nails begin their growth. Fungi are larger than bacteria and
include yeasts and molds.
We often think about hair on our head and want it to look good. Actually, hair has
several functions. For example, the hair in your nose filter the air as you breath and trap
bacteria and viruses before they can get into your lungs. Also, hair helps to protect you
from getting hurt. A man who shaves all his hair off feels a hit on his head more than a
person who has a full head of hair. Finally, hair helps with sensation because sensory
receptors are nerve endings. As a result, when something brushes against or touches a
hair, you feel it.
Keratin in our hair makes it waterproof and strong. Like the epidermis, hair also
contains melanin. People with dark hair have more melanin in their hair than people with
blond hair.
Hair begins its growth in the dermis inside little pockets called follicles. It then grows
up through the dermis and epidermis until it reaches outside of the body.
