Searching the WEB

Researching topics in the web is becoming more and more common, but we have to know which websites are reliable (is the information accurate?). Moreover, about 60% of the the information is in English, so we also have to be able to interpret the information, WITHOUT USING AN ONLINE TRANSLATOR, because words can have different meanings depending on the context in which they are used.

Today we are going to read an article about health, and do a couple of exercises.

If you study Nutrition go to this LINK, there two pages in the article.

If you study Physical Therapy go to this LINK read:

• How Can a Physical Therapist Help?
• What Kind of Physical Therapist Do I Need?
  

1. First read the whole article and write one paragraph describing in your own words the content of the article in a word file.
2. Then select 15 to 20 words or expressions from the article, copy them in the file and look up and write its meaning or translation.
3. Write your opinion and comments of the article, minimum 10 lines.
