The text of the larvae is expositive because the information that it provides is explicative and has the objective to inform and disseminate knowledge on a topic (sand dollar larvae cloning). It intends to report in the text predominantly referential function.

This text displays information about a topic of interest, which is directed at a broad audience, because it not requires prior knowledge on the subject of the exhibition.

The text explains the process of cloning of the sand dollar larvaes, which clone themselves only when they are expose to danger, this means that cloning will reduce their size and the predators will can’t to see them.

Furthermore, the text exposes the disadvantages of their cloning, because when the larvaes grow up they retain the size, which can be a disadvantage with another predator.

In sum, the text explains everything about the sand dollar larvaes scloning. Explains its effects, and shows us an expert opinion.

For example, Vaughn said that "you may reduce your vulnerability as a larvae, but when you reach the sea floor, potentially small size ends up hurting you. But if you don’t make it to the sea floor in the first place, it might be worth the tradeoff.”

The fruit master

On one hand, I always thought in Spanish when I was writing or talking in English. Since October when Lisette Lunar start teaching me, I started to improve my writing and grammar in English, her lessons helped me immensely to gradually stop thinking in Spanish before writing a text in English. On the other hand, she is very demanding with the date given to deliver the work sent by "modulo 7", which is used to establish the education from the distance. For many people it’s very difficult to keep up with the pace of the class, because not everybody have the same level of English, but I feel that the teacher knows what she does and tries to improve our english.

Fruitarians (Argumentative Text)

Fruitarianism is defined as a diet that is predominantly raw fruit, with the remainder of the diet being composed of raw vegetarian foods.
Fruitarianism is possible according to the idealistic dietary theory, but it can be very difficult to practice. The diet has many pitfalls that can cause serious problems for the “fruitarian wannabes”. Fruitarianism portrays fruit as the ideal natural food.
For Tomás B. the modern fruit is the product of generations; in some cases, thousands of years, of human-directed plant breeding. Modern fruit has been bred for a high sugar content.
Fernando García said that he was a fruitarian during most of the 1970's, when he lived in Mérida. “I no longer follow a fruitarian diet; instead I strongly recommend that others follow a more diverse; less extreme, and more balanced diets.”
Very few people have claimed succeed on the fruitarian diet, in the long term. It is said to be a "cleansing diet" and may be helpful as a therapeutic diet, in the short run.
On one hand, the diet of fruits in the short run can promote physical health, you appear to be immune to many illnesses, and injuries may heal quickly, your respiratory system may function better, your senses grow to an extraordinary degree, specifically the senses of taste and smell and it also may reduce the amount of water you need to drink as fruits have a high water content.
On the other hand, the diet is extremely difficult, hunger and cravings are frequent, same as backsliding, cheating and binge eating. In addition to that, the modern fruit is expensive, and it often lacks in freshness and/or quality as a result of shipping, refrigeration, fumigation, and other post-harvest processing. Strict fruitarians usually experience severe weight loss, with weight stabilizing at levels associated with anorexia nervosa or starvation.
Don't try fruitarianism out of fear of cooked food or protein. If you choose to try fruitarianism do so only if you have clear, positive reasons to motivate you. A fruitarian diet that includes protein foods and leafy greens will pose fewer risks/problems than a 100% fruit diet. At any case, I wish you good luck with all the diets you try.

Musical Fruits (Narrative text)

Today, we approach to the music field and look upon two groups, who bear names such as those of fruits.

The group 'The Cranberries' was born in 1989, five years before the quintet Alicante "Guaraná".
