PREGUNTAS DEL NÚCLEO COMÚN

En la prueba del núcleo común en el nuevo examen del Icfes los estudiantes se verán enfrentados a los conocimientos básicos que se deben poseer de la lengua. Definitivamente no se busca evaluar a perfectos hablantes de estas lenguas, pero sí a alguien que entienda el sentido de lo que está leyendo.

Serán 35 preguntas para resolver en una sola hora durante la tarde del sábado.
En la profundización, cuando se abra esta posibilidad, habrá que resolver situaciones más complejas que tienen que ver con el manejo que se le da a los conocimientos básicos dependiendo de la situación en la que se producen.

Exercise will not keep you from getting disease, nor prevent or cure infections, but it does seem to help some medical problems. Many doctors agree that people with a low resistance develop infections more easily. Therefore, if you stay fit and healthy it will help you increase your resistance to infections. Research shows that people who exercise regularly have less risk of getting certain types of cancer than people who do not. Exercise is not recommended for a person with an infection. If you have a cold or the flu, then rest-it is the best remedy.
