Me llamo Andres gonzalez, tengo diecinueve años. Nací en Bogota, pero vivo en Medellin. Soy estudiante de primer curso de Periodismo.

De lunes a viernes me levanto a las siete y media, desayuno y camino hasta la universidad. Entro en clase a las nueve y salgo a la una.

Al medio día como la comida en mi casa y veo la televisión. Por la tarde, estudio hasta las siete y después quedo con mis amigos.

A nosotros nos gusta mucho el cine, el teatro y la música. Los viernes por la noche cenamos pizza y bailamos en la discoteca.

Todos los sábados visito a mi familia en Medellin.

El domingo por la tarde regreso a a mi casa y, si hace sol, salgo con mi perro a dar un paseo. ¡Me encantan los animales!

In today's episode I will be telling you about the 6 most common mistakes that I heard students make during my years as an IELTS examiner. These mistakes are important, because if you want to score band 7, then you have to be able to 'frequently produce error-free sentences'. Every one of these mistakes will take you further away from achieving your dream score. So listen now, learn what the mistakes are, and gain some practical advice on how to avoid making them in your English lessons, in your daily conversations, and in your own Speaking test.

The 6 most common mistakes in the IELTS Speaking test

Each fast food meal we eat in a week could increase our risk of developing depression by as much as 4%, according to a new study.

Researchers from Iran also found that eating more than two fast food meals per week could increase the risk by almost a quarter.

They wanted to look at the effect of eating fast food on both obesity and depression.

Previous studies have found that eating a lot of heavily processed foods could lead to depression.

The research team thought that eating a lot of fast food was likely to cause obesity and that this could lead to depression.

However, they found obesity was not as much of an important factor as they thought it would be, and perhaps it was fast food consumption — and not obesity — that increased the risk of depression.

The researchers looked at data from more than 31,000 people in the US, taken between 2008 and 2018.

The participants were asked how many fast food meals they ate in a typical week, and they answered a survey that asked them about symptoms of depression.

During the study period, 11% of women and 7% of men showed signs of depression, although those with higher levels of education were less likely to be depressed.

Those who ate more than two fast food meals a week had a 24% higher risk of depression compared to those who ate fewer than two fast food meals per week.

However, the researchers say they can't prove that the cause of the participants' depression was eating fast food.
