This year we have a new subject called Thinking Skills, were we study Critical Thinking, which is used to analyze arguments (set of reasons which are used to persuade someone and support a conclusion). For arguments to work, we need evidence to support our point of view. All the same, it is important that we always judge the credibility of the evidence. For this, we need to go back to the source form where we took the evidence and use credibility criteria. For example, “neutrality”, which consists of a source which doesn’t take sides and doesn’t manipulate evidence. We can also find the”vested information”, which is the source that gains something from taking a particular side, therefore they may change or not the information. The “bias” consists on favouring a particular side, which reduces the credibility. Then, we can find the ”expertise”, which is evidence highly credible due to the knowledge of a source, who can be doctors, scientists, etc. However, as knowledge changes throu...

Although we all live in the same country, there are certain things that differentiate us. These differences are not only the culture or how developed our country is, but the type of climate of our region. All along this summary, diverse climates are going to be explained. EQUATORIAL CLIMATE: As the name indicates, it is located in the Equator, five degrees north and five degrees south. Temperatures are high and constant, with an annual range of 2ºC, because the sun is always at a high angle in the sky. There isn't a dry season, although some months can be drier. Moreover, it is wet during the whole year, with an average rainfall of 200/25000 mm. Winds, in this climate, are light and variable. The most interesting characteristic of this climate is its daily pattern. This means that when the sun rises, the heat starts evaporating all the moisture from the rain from the previous day. By midday temperatures reach 33ºC, so air goes up and starts forming clouds with the moisture ...
