WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FROM HOME AND YOU GET SICK?

Living abroad more often than not means living in a completely new and unknown place as well. Normally this is fine, you get to meet a load of fun new people, live with exciting new friends or try out the experience of living alone. You are never really tempted to stay in and laze about on the internet as there is too much to do and see. It is exciting. But there are times where this does become a problem, at least for me, this is when I am sick.

In Mexico, travellers’ sickness happens to everyone at one point or another. (An interesting fact: In Mexico travellers’ sickness is affectionately known as Montezuma’s revenge. Supposedly it is the revenge that the last Aztec emperor who was at power during the time of the Spanish conquest exacts on European visitors) I am lucky in that I lasted 2 and half months before I succumbed.

It hasn’t been all bad, many of my friends and colleagues have been helping me taking me to the doctor and the pharmacy, helping me to get medicines and explain all the weirdSpanish medical words that I don’t understand, however none of this makes up for the fact that I am sick and my mum is 1000s of miles away and unable to look after me. It is quite sad and pathetic, I know. I am meant to be a strong independent woman who can live wherever she wants and adapt to anything. But when I get sick I regress to the childlike state of wanting my mum to bring me cut up apples, take my temperature and generally look after me. All while telling me that everything will be alright and I will get better soon. It is wonderful to realise that I have many friends who care and worry about me, but none of them can even come close to taking the place of my mum when I am sick.

Test on tenses

Fill in the correct form of the PRESENT TENSE (simple and progressive)

Dear Editor, I am writing this letter because it seems to me that far too many changes are taking place in my country these days, and, as a result, we are losing our identity. I live in a small town, but even this town is changing before my eyes. For example, town authorities are building a burger place where my favourite restaurant used to be. Our culture belongs to everybody, and I don’t understand why the town leaders don’t do more to preserve it. They simply don’t care. In fact, I am thinking of starting an action group. I am appearing on a TV show on Friday evening to make people aware of how important this issue is. It’s time for us to start doing something before it gets too late.

      Water

      1.How much water is there on, in, and above the Earth?

      1.386 billion cubic kilometers (km³)

      All Earth’s water, liquid fresh water, and water in lakes and rivers

      All water on Earth in a sphere, placed over a "dry" globe

      The Earth is a watery place. But just how much water exists on, in, and above our planet? About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water. Water also exists in the air as water vapor, in rivers and lakes, in icecaps and glaciers, in the ground as soil moisture and in aquifers, and even in you and your dog.

      Water is never sitting still. Thanks to the water cycle, our planet’s water supply is constantly moving from one place to another and from one form to another. Things would get pretty stale without the water cycle!

      1.Where does water come from?

      Water on Earth likely came from two main sources: volcanoes releasing it as steam long ago, and icy comets crashing into Earth, bringing water with them.

      2.Why do cold water bottles and soft-drink bottles sweat?

      When a cold bottle is in warm air, moisture from the air cools down, forming tiny water droplets on the bottle’s surface. This is the same process as condensation.

      3.When does water boil?

      Water boils at 100°C(212°F) at sea level. Higher up (like on a mountain), it boils at a lower temperature because of less air pressure.

      4.Why is water blue?

      Water looks blue because it absorbs red light and reflects blue light. This effect is more noticeable in large amounts of water, like oceans or lakes.

      5.When is water the most dense?

      Water is densest at 4°C(39°F).

      Water Facts
      Water could be the key to finding life.
      Almost all Earth’s water is in the oceans.
      Most freshwater is in ice.
      The amount of salt in salt water varies.
      A lot can live in one drop of water.
      Some water may have come from comets.
      Our bodies are mostly water, like 80%.
      Water is made up of two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. Its chemical formula is H2O.Each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to a single oxygen atom.
      The existence of water is essential for life on Earth. Water has three different states, liquid, solid and gas.
      The word water usually refers to water in its liquid state. The solid state of water is known as ice while the gas state of water is known as steam or water vapor.
      Water covers around 70% of the Earth’s surface. The three largest oceans on Earth are the Pacific Ocean (largest), the Atlantic Ocean (second largest) and the Indian Ocean (third largest). More ocean facts. Found in the Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in the world’s oceans. Ocean tides are caused by the rotation of the Earth and the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun acting on ocean water. Water from a sea or ocean is known as seawater. On average, every kilogram (2.2lb) of seawater contains around 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salt. The freezing point of water lowers as the amount of salt dissolved in at increases. With average levels of salt, seawater freezes at -2 °C (28.4 °F).The longest river in the world is the Nile River, it reaches 6650 kilometers in length (4132 miles).The second longest river in the world is the Amazon River, it reaches 6400 kilometers (4000 miles) in length. The longest river in the USA is the Missouri River. At around 2,340 miles (3,770 km) in length it is slightly longer than the Mississippi River (2,320 miles). The two combine to form the longest river system in North America. Water makes a good solvent with many sugar, salts and acids easily dissolving in it. On the other hand oils and fats don’t mix well with water. The water cycle involves water evaporating (turning into a gas), rising to the sky, cooling and condensing into tiny drops of water or ice crystals that we see as clouds, falling back to Earth as rain, snow or hail before evaporating again and continuing the cycle. Learn more about the water cycle. Water in the form of ice is found at the polar ice caps of the planet Mars, some scientists have also suggested the possibility of liquid water on the red planet.

      Pure water has no smell and no taste, it also has a pH level around 7.While most people know that water boils at 100 °C (212 °F), this is at the normal conditions of sea level. The boiling point of water actually changes relative to the barometric pressure. For example, water boils at just 68 °C (154 °F) on the top of Mount Everest while water deep in the ocean near geothermal vents can remain in liquid form at temperatures much higher than 100 °C (212 °F).Water expands as it cools from 4 °C to 0 °C (above 4 °C it does the opposite). In freezing conditions, water has been known to burst water pipes as it freezes to ice. Water can move up narrow tubes against the force of gravity in what is known as capillary action.

      Most people around the world have access to clean drinking water but it is a major problem in poorer areas of the world. Water pollution and low quality water can lead to dangerous bacteria, disease and viruses .
      Drinking water is needed for humans to avoid dehydration, the amount you need each day depends on the temperature, how much activity you are involved in and other factors. An important use for water is in agricultural irrigation, this is when water is artificially added to soil in order to assist the growth of crops. Water is used frequently by firefighters to extinguish fires. Helicopters sometimes drop large amount of water on wildfires and bushfires to stop fires spreading and limit the damage they can cause.

      The water industry helps deliver water to homes in various cities and countries around the world. This can involve services such as purification, sewage treatment, filtering, distillation and plumbing. Electricity can be created from hydropower, a process that uses water to drive water turbines connected to generators. There are many hydroelectric power stations around the world. Water also plays a role in cooking. Steaming and boiling food are well known cooking methods. You may have noticed this last time you made pasta or noodles. Water is also used for fun. Water sports are a very popular recreational activity and include things like swimming, surfing and waterskiing. Ice and snow is also used in ice skating, ice hockey, skiing and snowboarding.
