Spiritual Renewal

In class we were talking about, why do people fast?

First let define the word ''fast''. According to John Piper ''fasting is the act of going without food for a certain amount of time''.

According to Share Care (https://www.sharecare.com/health/fasting-weight-loss/why-do-people-fast) people fast for different reasons, some people fast as a part o their religion. Other do it to find that when they fast they are able to think more clearly, or become more disciplined. And other just for a medical procedure.

Changing a little bit the question, why do Christians fast?

Also according to Bible Study (http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/what-is-fasting-and-why-should-we-do-it.html) people do fasting to get away from the evil world. 

In my opinion, people do fasting because they feel good doing it and because they want to do it.

Unit 4, The tipping point

Adverb Clauses of Result: Adverb clauses of result with such...that and so...that present the result of a situation that is stated in the first clause. Let see this: If I say "It was so cold today", I have a simple sentence, but if I add "that we couldn't go out" I have an adverb clause of result. As simple as that! In simple words an adverb clause of result is a simple clause that point out the consequences that brings "the action" we are talking about. I have to say I use this grammar point when talking, but I never thought I was using "Adverb clauses of result". In addition, I did it wrong in the midterm, but at least now I know what the professor was talking about on it.
