1. TRANSLATION,
PREFIXES, SUFFIXES
AND ROOTS
Presented by: Anyela Stefany Vilca Flores

2. HOW TRANSLATION WORKS TO UNDERSTAND
ACADEMIC MEDICAL TEXTS?
The translation of academic texts in medicine requires a
deep understanding of both the specific medical language
and the scientific and clinical contexts involved in medicine.
We have steps to achieve a good understanding, a way to
carry out a complete translation in the context that is
required is:
1. define word by word and then give it a medical context
2. By having the complete translation, the rules that English
presents are handled to reach an appropriate term.
3. Once the topic is contextualized, compression and reading
will be clearer in the medical context.
It is important to know the words in their terminology in
order to have a better understanding of the topic.

3. The prefixes and suffixes are morphological
elements that are added to a root to form new
words or modify the meaning of an existing
word, therefore the prefix is ​​a morpheme that
is placed before a base word that is also called
a root and the suffix is a morpheme added to
the end of a root word to form a new word.
Prefixes and suffixes help to understand the
formation of a new word that just by knowing
the meaning of these morphemes we can
easily understand it.

5. COMMENT OF THE CLASS EXPRESSING WHY YOU STUDY
MEDICINE AND HOW YOU THINK ENGLISH CAN HELP YOU IN
YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER.
I study medicine because I find
deep satisfaction in helping
others and contributing to
people's well-being. Medicine is a
science that involves the wisdom
of the person who studies it. The
satisfaction of helping your
patient is impressive, nothing
surpasses that achievement.
The english is of utmost importance
in medicine since the latest research
is published in American journals, and
understanding English or knowing
how to speak and understand it helps
open the possibility of having more
knowledge about said topic since the
articles are always published in
English at the same time. just like
medical books
