In fact, doctors (MDs) say that freezing temperatures can cause harm to people’s health. “Is better to limit your outdoor activities since exposure for long periods of time can cause froze bite and hypothermia”, Said Dr. John Marshall president of the ER at Maimonides Medical Center in New York. “Both conditions can be serious, and even potentially lethal if not treated”.

Falsos Cognados

En mi experiencia con los falsos cognados creo que la mayoría se me han presentado cuando he necesitado ayuda o estoy buscando algo. Creo que son en esos momentos en los que estamos pensando en nuestra lengua materna por la necesidad y pues se comete el error sin querer queriendo.

Una de las veces que use un falso cognado y deje a la persona que me escuchaba con la boca abierta fue… la ves que hubo un incendio en un edificio cerca a mi apartamento. Yo estaba mirando desde la calle, como muchos otros, y al hablar con la persona de al lado le dije “That fire looks bad, I hope the bombers are on their way”.  También… la ves que fui a Duane Read y le pregunte a la ayudante “excuse me, do you carry preservatives?”
