Ya he terminado mi asignatura de inglés primera parte, classmates!
Uf, contenta no, contentísima.

Este ha sido mi ejercicio. Sin chuletas. Sin trampas. Actualizando toda mi competencia. Me he movido dentro del inglés como quien se mueve dentro de un jersey amplio, pero confortable. Y, sobre todo, he aprendido cómo estudiar un idioma. De modo que, además de volver al inglés (porque tampoco estoy para tirar cohetes) estudiaré francés y chino. Hala y olé.

EL EXAMEN QUE HE HECHO sobre el tema Is pushing limits in sport a good thing?

It totally depends on what limits you are referring about: whether you are thinking about external limits or about internal limits. Internal limits are your biological condition: your body as a genetic system, with your age and your particular state of health and the physical conditions derived of your habits of food and movement, whereas external limits are, firstly, practices in extrem sports (the difficult practices that other people have invented either for proving themselves or for exploring the world and their own bodies) or, secondly, improving “records” in playing sports or doing whatever exercises.

Internal limits should always be respected. This is an important point that professional people in the world of sports and professions around knows very well, because the risk of medical problems is high in case of not consider these limits. You can always think that, if you don´t get good results in this area, you can try another one: there are lots of sports in your way.

External limits should be realistic. You have to design your sport plan thinking not only in the marks of the others or in your own state of health, but also in your possibilities “here and now”: time, money, teachers… resources in general. Please, consider that pushing limits is natural for you in the same way as for a lion following its food… but not abuse of that persecutions!

In conclusion: please, as said Socrates, know yourself! Knowing your limits and possibilities is the main condition for creating the possibility of transgression of that limits (Don´t forgot the say of the Spanish author Ortega y Gasset: I am me and my circumstance). Respect yourself. And, at last but not the less, respect the others, and think that, more times that you would like, they will arrive higher and sooner that you… This is nice, this is OK!

DESPUÉS DEL EXAMEN: correcciones.
a) Mi chequeo con la traducción que me da Google.

Depende totalmente de a qué límites te refieres: si estás pensando en límites externos o en límites internos. Los límites internos son tu condición biológica: tu cuerpo como sistema genético, con tu edad y tu particular estado de salud y las condiciones físicas derivadas de tus hábitos de alimentación y movimiento, mientras que los límites externos son, en primer lugar, las prácticas en deportes extremos (los difíciles prácticas que otras personas han inventado ya sea para demostrar su valía o para explorar el mundo y sus propios cuerpos) o, en segundo lugar, mejorar (esta palabra sobraba) los “récords” en la práctica de deportes o en la realización de cualquier ejercicio.

Siempre se deben respetar los límites internos. Este es un punto importante que los profesionales del mundo del deporte y los profesiones que lo rodean conocen muy bien (esto de «profesionales que lo rodean» suena un poco forzado… aquí quería poner fisioterapeutas etc pero nada, que no daba con la ortografía correcta), porque el riesgo de sufrir problemas médicos es alto si no se consideran estos límites. Siempre puedes pensar que, si no consigues buenos resultados en este ámbito (aquí tenía que haber puesto «deporte en concreto»), puedes probar con otro: hay muchos deportes en tu camino.

Los límites externos deben ser realistas. Tienes que diseñar tu plan deportivo pensando no sólo en las notas de los demás o en tu propio estado de salud, sino también en tus posibilidades “aquí y ahora”: tiempo, dinero, profesores… recursos en general. Por favor, considera que superar los límites es natural para ti de la misma manera que para un león siguiendo su comida (aquí quería poner «persiguienda a su presa, pero no tenía esa palabra)… ¡pero no abusar de esas persecuciones!

En conclusión: por favor, como decía Sócrates, ¡conócete a ti mismo! Conocer tus límites y posibilidades es la condición principal para crear la posibilidad de transgresión de esos límites (No olvides el dicho del autor español Ortega y Gasset: yo soy yo y mi circunstancia). Respetarte (aquí puse infitinito en lugar de imperativo) a ti mismo. Y, por último, pero no menos (esta expresión no sé si está bien en inglés), respeta a los demás, y piensa que, cuantas veces quieras (aquí quería decir «más veces de las que tú hubieras querido), llegarán más arriba y antes que tú… ¡Esto está bien, esto está bien! (La yuxtaposición de nice y OK no sé cómo les sonará a ellos, si es un buen final.)

b)Mi chequeo con el corrector ortográfico de word 

It totally depends on what limits you are referring about TO: whether you are thinking about external limits or about internal limits. Internal limits are your biological condition: your body as a genetic system, with your age and your particular state of health and the physical conditions derived of your habits of food and movement, whereas external limits are, firstly, practices in extrem EXTREME, ME COMÍ LA E sports (the difficult practices that other people have invented either for proving themselves or for exploring the world and their own bodies) or, secondly, improving “records” in playing sports or doing whatever exercises.

Internal limits should always be respected. This is an important point that professional people in the world of sports and professions around knows NO ERA TERCERA PERSONA very well, because the risk of medical problems is high in case of not consider CONSIDERING, NO SÉ POR QUÉ these limits. You can always think that, if you don´t get good results in this area, you can try another one: there are lots of sports in your way.

External limits should be realistic. You have to design your sport plan thinking not only in the marks of the others or in your own state of health, but also in your possibilities “here and now”: time, money, teachers… resources in general. Please, consider that pushing limits is natural for you in the same way as for a lion following its food… but not abuse of that persecutions!

In conclusion, please, as said Socrates SOCRATES SAID PARECE QUE EL ORDEN IMPORTA AQUÍ, know yourself! Knowing your limits and possibilities is the main condition for creating the possibility of transgression of that limits TRANSGRESSING THOSE LIMITS, NO SABÍA LA PALABRA Y SE ME OLVIDÓ EL PLURAL (Don´t forgot FORGET SE ME OLVIDÓ EL TIEMPO DEL VERBO the say SAYING NO CONOCÍA ESTA PALABRA of the Spanish author Ortega y Gasset: I am me and my circumstance). Respect yourself. And, at last but not the less, respect the others, and think that, more times that THAN  DESPISTE you would like, they will arrive higher and sooner than you… This is nice, this is OK! (Muchos errores en el último apartado, porque ya iba corriendo: no me daba tiempo.)

c)Le he pedido en el chat a Copilot que me lo corrija 🙂 

Certainly! Let’s review the text and identify any language issues:

1. “Internal limits are your biological condition: your body as a genetic system,with your age and your particular state of health and the physical conditions derived of your habits of food and movement”
   • There should be a space after the colon: “…genetic system, with your age…”
   • The word “and” should be capitalized: “…your age and your particular state…”
2. “…practices in extreme sports (the difficult practices that other people have invented either for proving themselves or for exploring the world and their own bodies) or, secondly, ‘records’ in playing sports or doing whatever exercises.”
   • The phrase “or, secondly,” can be simplified to “secondly.”
   • The single quotation marks around “records” should be double quotation marks for consistency.
3. “…pushing limits is natural for you in the same way as for a lion following its food… but not abuse of that persecutions!”
   • The ellipsis should have spaces between the dots: “…following its food… but not…”
   • The word “persecutions” seems out of context. Perhaps it should be “pursuits.” Muy importante esto que me acaba de decir la IA; que yo nunca jamás hubiera descubierto sola. Por tanto, esta consulta hay que hacerla también. 
4. “In conclusion: please, as Socrates said, know yourself!”
   • Remove the colon after “conclusion.”
5. “Don’t forget the saying of the Spanish author Ortega y Gasset: I am me and my circumstance.”
   • Add a comma after “Ortega y Gasset”: “…Spanish author Ortega y Gasset, I am me…”

Overall, your message conveys valuable insights about pushing limits in sports. Remember to address the minor language issues, and you’re good to go! ????????¹²³

I’ve highlighted the areas for improvement in your text. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

d) He cambiado el final

These are their limits, not yours!
Me gusta muchísimo más, pero en el momento y con las prisas no se me ocurrió.

e) Los apuntes (aunque me los tengo que organizar mejor y estudiármelos más)

FINALMENTE, Texto corregido por las IAs y yo

Is pushing limits in sport a good thing?

It totally depends on what limits you are referring to: whether you are thinking about external limits or about internal limits. Internal limits are your biological condition: your body as a genetic system, with your age and your particular state of health and the physical conditions derived of your habits of food and movement, whereas external limits are, firstly, practices in extreme sports (the difficult practices that other people have invented either for proving themselves or for exploring the world and their own bodies), secondly, “records” in playing sports or doing whatever exercises.

Internal limits should always be respected. This is an important point that professional people in the world of sports and professions around ( physiotherapists, orthopedists etc.) knows very well, because the risk of medical problems is high in case of not considering these limits. You can always think that, if you don’t get good results in this sport, you can try another one: there are lots of sports in your way.
External limits should be realistic. You have to design your sport plan thinking not only in the marks of the others or in your own state of health, but also in your possibilities “here and now”: time, money, teachers… resources in general. Please, consider that pushing limits is natural for you in the same way as for a lion pursuits its prey… but not abuse of that persecutions!

In conclusion, please, as Socrates said, know yourself! Knowing your limits and possibilities is the main condition for creating the possibility of transgressing those limits (Don’t forget the saying of the Spanish author Ortega y Gasset, I am me and my circumstance). Respect yourself. And, at last but not the least, respect the others, and think that, more times than you would like, they will arrive higher and sooner than you… These are their limits, not yours!

Todo facilita el aprendizaje.
Y sobre todo, por supuesto, la guía del excelente profesor que he tenido y su presencia en todo mi proceso de aprendizaje. Me niego a ser alumna: soy discípula (de los buenos, que no todos lo son…). Y es el profesor el que me ha encaminado a los recursos adecuados, el que ha subrayado los errores más habituales, el que me ha despertado con un correo o me ha animado a no desfallecer…  En suma, el profesor ha sido ese otro al que importamos, que tiene que estar presente en todo proceso educativo para que se produzcan los aprendizajes (Vygotsky), y sin el cual la probabilidad de perdernos es altísima.

¡Gracias a todos ellos!
