A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the bodyâs response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

You need to take it out of the second drawer and put it in the top drawer. If it doesnât ïŹt (caber) in there,
then leave it on top of the desk and Iâll ïŹnd a place to put it later. Then you need to help me decide
what to wear to the party. I would like to put on that red shirt you gave me for Christmas last year, but
I canât ïŹnd it. Maybe you can help me look for it. If we donât ïŹnd it, then Iâll put on the white shirt with
the red tie that I got from your sister last year. Oh, and remind me to put on the watch that I bought in
Paris. Itâs so expensive that I donât wear it every day, but this is a special occasion. I think the party will
probably last around two hours. Then we can go out to dinner somewhere. I think it would be nice if we
went to that Italian restaurant you like so much, plus itâs not too expensive. And then we can go see a
movie, but nothing too dramatic! I want today to be a happy day. I donât want to be tense and I certainly
donât want you to cry!

working! Good thing (menos mal) it was already in the 30s in the morning. After my very short shower
I didnât have time to eat my normal breakfast, so I grabbed (coger) an apple that was on top of the
kitchen table and ran out the door. Then, when I got to the bus stop, I realized that I didnât have the
monthly sales report (informe) with me, so I had to run back to the apartment to get it. When I ïŹnally
got to the ofïŹce, everyone was waiting for me. To make things worse, there were so many people on
the bus that I didnât have room to go over (repasar) the report. Fortunately, there werenât any mistakes
(error) in it. But I was so worried about the presentation that I forgot to eat the apple. Of course I
couldnât eat it during the meeting, so I had to wait until 10 AM to eat it. The rest of the day went much
better, and the boss even (hasta) congratulated (felicitar) me for the report. He told me it was very clear

watch some TV while I have breakfast, and then take the subway (metro) to work. I usually get to the
ofïŹce at around nine. But yesterday, which was Tuesday, I had to be at the airport at 6 AM to pick up my

He apologized (disculparse) and told me the 3:30 ïŹight was the only one available (disponible) and that

1 The term âTornado Alleyâ (callejĂłn) refers to the area of land, mainly in the United States but also in
Canada, where most of the worldâs tornadoes take place. Although (aunque) tornadoes also occur in
other parts of the world, the unique topography of Tornado Alley makes it particularly susceptible to
these devastating storms. This is because tornadoes occur when masses of warm, moist (hĂșmedo)
air come into contact with masses of cold, dry air. These conditions are present in Tornado Alley when
cold air masses from the Rockies or Canada collide with hot and humid air from the Gulf of Mexico.
The result is most often a thunderstorm (tormenta), and the most violent thunderstorms can result in
tornadic activity, as the cold air sinks (hundirse) and the hot air rises (ascender) with rotating fury. In
an average (medio) year, up to (hasta) one thousand tornadoes can strike (golpear) the United States,
the vast majority of these somewhere in Tornado Alley. Canada is a distant second in the ranking, with
about a hundred tornadoes a year. Tornadoes can occur in other places around the world, like Australia,
South Africa and Europe, but no country on Earth can match (igualar) the unenviable (poco envidiable)
statistics of Tornado Alley, and no state sees more tornadoes each year than Texas.

1 Last week, I flew to Bilbao to visit our office there. I usually go there two or three times a year, always
on business. I always stay there a couple of days and then I fly back. Last week, I stayed at the Veracruz
Hotel, which is about ten minutes away from the office on foot. I like that because I donât want to rent
a car when Iâm in Bilbao. I also like that hotel because thereâs a very good churrerĂa between the hotel
and the office, and I always have breakfast there. The office is only about twenty minutes away from the
airport. Sometimes Carlos, from the Bilbao office, goes to pick me up, and sometimes I take a taxi. Last
week I flew there on Tuesday morning and went straight (directamente) to the office. I had lunch with a
few managers from the Bilbao office at a restaurant near the office at around 2pm, and then we went

didnât want to buy just (solo) one thing, so she went to the local market. There, she saw her good friend
Anna, who wanted to buy some meat for a barbecue. The two talked about their families for about ten
minutes and then Anna said she was in a hurry (tenĂa prisa), so they said goodbye to each other. Marta
found everything she was looking for, and even though (aunque) it was a bit expensive, she didnât want
to go back home empty handed (con las manos vacĂas), so she bought an enormous watermelon, a kilo

yet (sin embargo) every year, thatâs exactly what I do. Well, this year is the year that I finally listened to
myself! Last week I bought Christmas presents for everyone in my family. I took advantage (aprovechar)
of the summer sales (rebajas) to buy winter coats for my two children. Theyâre growing so fast that last
winterâs coats will probably be too small for them this winter. Plus, by buying winter clothes in summer
I saved a bundle! I also bought them some toys, though Iâll be very lucky if they donât find them before
Christmas! My husband is going to get some shoes, which I also bought on sale, and some very nice
sunglasses. And no, heâs not getting a tie this Christmas, though he likes anything I give him. My sister
is the hardest person to shop for. She likes really expensive designer clothes. What she doesnât spend
on food and rent (alquiler) she spends on ridiculously expensive dress jackets and shoes. Normally I
wouldnât encourage (motivar, alentar) her expensive habits, but this year I was able to find a nice dress
that I know sheâll love. And the best part is that, of course, it was on sale, which is good because that
is the only way I would buy her the kind of clothes that she likes to wear. So this year, I think, and hope,

America. Since Scott lives in a beach (playa) town with lots of tourists, he tries to practice English at
work with all of the foreign customers who go into the store. He knows he has a lot to learn, but his
pronunciation is improving (mejorando) and the customers appreciate (agradecen) having someone who
can answer their questions. Usually they ask him what the different words on the package (envase)

her. âDonât start yawning again!â Mary smiled and said, âIâm sorry. Donât worry, Iâm not tired.â Kevin

1 Yesterday was deïŹnitely not a normal day. I had to take a cold shower because the heater wasnât
working! Good thing (menos mal) it was already in the 30s in the morning. After my very short shower
I didnât have time to eat my normal breakfast, so I grabbed (coger) an apple that was on top of the
kitchen table and ran out the door. Then, when I got to the bus stop, I realized that I didnât have the
monthly sales report (informe) with me, so I had to run back to the apartment to get it. When I ïŹnally
got to the ofïŹce, everyone was waiting for me. To make things worse, there were so many people on
the bus that I didnât have room to go over (repasar) the report. Fortunately, there werenât any mistakes
(error) in it. But I was so worried about the presentation that I forgot to eat the apple. Of course I
couldnât eat it during the meeting, so I had to wait until 10 AM to eat it. The rest of the day went much
better, and the boss even (hasta) congratulated (felicitar) me for the report. He told me it was very clear
and concise, and much better than the report from the previous month. He told me that if my work
continued to improve (mejorar), that he would promote me to section supervisor.

1 Yesterday I had to get up at 5 in the morning! Normally on weekdays (entre semana) I get up at seven,
watch some TV while I have breakfast, and then take the subway (metro) to work. I usually get to the
ofïŹce at around nine. But yesterday, which was Tuesday, I had to be at the airport at 6 AM to pick up my
brother-in-law, who was ïŹying in from Tenerife. I wasnât too happy to have to go to the airport so early.
He apologized (disculparse) and told me the 3:30 ïŹight was the only one available (disponible) and that
he had to be in Madrid for an important meeting. I almost told him to take a taxi, but I didnât want to
upset my sister. Today Iâm back on my normal schedule (horario), but Iâm very tired. Maybe I can leave
the ofïŹce a little early. I donât think weâll be too busy (ocupado) today or during the rest of the week.
Next week will be different, though. The boss told us yesterday that we will be getting an important new
client on Monday that will mean (signiïŹcar) lots of work for everyone for at least (al menos) two weeks,
and then after that I have a week of vacation. Maybe (quizĂĄs) Iâll go to Tenerife and return my brother-

1 The term âTornado Alleyâ (callejĂłn) refers to the area of land, mainly in the United States but also in
Canada, where most of the worldâs tornadoes take place. Although (aunque) tornadoes also occur in
other parts of the world, the unique topography of Tornado Alley makes it particularly susceptible to
these devastating storms. This is because tornadoes occur when masses of warm, moist (hĂșmedo)
air come into contact with masses of cold, dry air. These conditions are present in Tornado Alley when
cold air masses from the Rockies or Canada collide with hot and humid air from the Gulf of Mexico.
The result is most often a thunderstorm (tormenta), and the most violent thunderstorms can result in
tornadic activity, as the cold air sinks (hundirse) and the hot air rises (ascender) with rotating fury. In
an average (medio) year, up to (hasta) one thousand tornadoes can strike (golpear) the United States,
the vast majority of these somewhere in Tornado Alley. Canada is a distant second in the ranking, with
about a hundred tornadoes a year. Tornadoes can occur in other places around the world, like Australia,
South Africa and Europe, but no country on Earth can match (igualar) the unenviable (poco envidiable)
statistics of Tornado Alley, and no state sees more tornadoes each year than Texas.

1 Last week, I flew to Bilbao to visit our office there. I usually go there two or three times a year, always
on business. I always stay there a couple of days and then I fly back. Last week, I stayed at the Veracruz
Hotel, which is about ten minutes away from the office on foot. I like that because I donât want to rent
a car when Iâm in Bilbao. I also like that hotel because thereâs a very good churrerĂa between the hotel
and the office, and I always have breakfast there. The office is only about twenty minutes away from the
airport. Sometimes Carlos, from the Bilbao office, goes to pick me up, and sometimes I take a taxi. Last
week I flew there on Tuesday morning and went straight (directamente) to the office. I had lunch with a
few managers from the Bilbao office at a restaurant near the office at around 2pm, and then we went
back to the office to finish some work on a new project. I came back on Friday. My plan was to go to

1 Yesterday Marta went to the store to buy some fruit. She wanted to get some cherries, a watermelon
and maybe some kiwis, which she loves to eat when sheâs thirsty, especially after exercising. She went
to the supermarket first, but there were a lot of people waiting in line. She decided to go inside anyway
to look at the prices. The watermelon was cheap, but the cherries were incredibly expensive, and she
didnât want to buy just (solo) one thing, so she went to the local market. There, she saw her good friend
Anna, who wanted to buy some meat for a barbecue. The two talked about their families for about ten
minutes and then Anna said she was in a hurry (tenĂa prisa), so they said goodbye to each other. Marta
found everything she was looking for, and even though (aunque) it was a bit expensive, she didnât want
to go back home empty handed (con las manos vacĂas), so she bought an enormous watermelon, a kilo
of kiwis and a basket of cherries. She thought about taking a taxi back to her house because of all the
heavy bags she was carrying, but then she decided to walk. I need the exercise, she thought.

1 Every year I tell myself that Iâm not going to wait until the last minute to buy Christmas presents, and
yet (sin embargo) every year, thatâs exactly what I do. Well, this year is the year that I finally listened to
myself! Last week I bought Christmas presents for everyone in my family. I took advantage (aprovechar)
of the summer sales (rebajas) to buy winter coats for my two children. Theyâre growing so fast that last
winterâs coats will probably be too small for them this winter. Plus, by buying winter clothes in summer
I saved a bundle! I also bought them some toys, though Iâll be very lucky if they donât find them before
Christmas! My husband is going to get some shoes, which I also bought on sale, and some very nice
sunglasses. And no, heâs not getting a tie this Christmas, though he likes anything I give him. My sister
is the hardest person to shop for. She likes really expensive designer clothes. What she doesnât spend
on food and rent (alquiler) she spends on ridiculously expensive dress jackets and shoes. Normally I
wouldnât encourage (motivar, alentar) her expensive habits, but this year I was able to find a nice dress
that I know sheâll love. And the best part is that, of course, it was on sale, which is good because that
is the only way I would buy her the kind of clothes that she likes to wear. So this year, I think, and hope,
that everyone will be happy with their presents.

1 Scott works at the supermarket. His schedule (horario) rotates every week, so one week he goes into
work in the morning and opens up the store, and the next week heâll go in in the afternoon and close
up the store at night. He doesnât particularly like his work. He finds it boring most of the time, doing
the same thing every day. He likes his boss, but heâs not really friends with any of his co-workers
(compañeros de trabajo). He likes helping customers, and he knows some of them personally, but some
customers treat him badly, which upsets him. During his coffee and lunch breaks he usually puts on his
headphones and listens to English lessons. Heâs convinced that if he learns to speak English well, he
can get a better job working in the office of his best friendâs dad, which does a lot of business in North
America. Since Scott lives in a beach (playa) town with lots of tourists, he tries to practice English at
work with all of the foreign customers who go into the store. He knows he has a lot to learn, but his
pronunciation is improving (mejorando) and the customers appreciate (agradecen) having someone who
can answer their questions. Usually they ask him what the different words on the package (envase)
labels (etiqueta) mean (significar), but sometimes they talk to him about the town and about the weather.
Of course, Scottâs boss wants Scott to keep working at the supermarket because heâs the only person
