Etiology

1. Daily Routine: Past vs Present

Last year, my daily routine was very different from my routine now. Last year, I woke up early every day and went to school from Monday to Friday. After school, I studied for two hours and sometimes I played football with my friends. At the weekend, I visited my grandparents or watched films at home.

Now, my routine has changed a lot. I work in the mornings and I study in the afternoon. I usually go to the gym three times a week. In my free time, I relax or go out with friends.

In conclusion, although I am busier now than before, I feel more independent and organized.

Understanding Food Contamination

Food contaminants are substances which may be present in foods as a result of how they have been handled through the different stages of production or as a result of environmental contamination.

What are Foodborne Illnesses?

Foodborne illnesses result from eating spoiled food or food that has been contaminated. When a foodborne illness involves an infection, it is called a foodborne infection.

Common Foodborne Infections

• Salmonellosis

  Salmonellosis is a foodborne illness caused by eating food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. These bacteria are often found in contaminated water, in poorly preserved foods made with egg, and in meat. Symptoms include headache, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is particularly serious

Syllable Weight and Lexical Stress Prediction

Syllable weight is important in the prediction of English lexical stress because the syllable that will always be stressed will be heavy. A heavy syllable contains either a long vowel, a diphthong, or a short vowel followed by two consonants, where the first consonant belongs to the same syllable as the vowel.

Secondary Stress Rules

If the primary stress is on the third syllable or later, there will be a secondary stress two syllables before it. Examples include:

• ,Super'sede
• ,curi'osity
• ,eco'nomic
• ,continu'ation
