What do I mean? Am I asking you if you are able to "make a summary of the activity"? WRONG!!!
When you are doing an activity, usually physical, for example trekking in the mountains, and you are using a device to keep a record of your activity ( a smart phone, or an app such as 'runtastic') and you pause it because you stop to have a break. Then when you keep on with your walking or whatever you will have to press the button 'resume activity' to switch on your device.
So most of my students have been great PROCASTINATORS this summer (you remember a previous post that talked about people who always leave whatever they have to do for a later time) and they really need to start getting ready for the coming school year.
PROCASTINATING would be impossible in the animal world. A cheetah can never stop hunting to live and stay strong...
...or a hummingbird drinking nectar from flowers or in water holes and they never stop flying!!

Talking about feeding, as we need so much energy these days, have you ever heard of the SUPERFOODS? Is it really true all what is said?
