I LOVE THIS SONG...

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worst
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know...
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know...

And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say

And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

PLACES I'D LIKE TO VISIT

My favourite cities, in which there are many places that I'd like to visit, are London and New York. First, I'd like to visit  the Tower Bridge and the London Eye in London and then the Statue of Liberty  and the skyscrapers of New York, that has a lot of them.

The Tower Bridge has become in one important symbol of London. It was built in April 1886 and was opened in June 1894. It is a big bridge in London that crosses the River Thames.It is called ''the Tower bridge'' because it is loceted near the tower of London. 

The London Eye, also called Milennium Wheel, is a wheel-lookout in London. It is located in the western end of the Jubilee Gardens, at the Bank of the River Thames, against the Big Ben. The big wheel has become in a very important symbol of London and UK. It was the biggest wheel of the world until the construction of the Star of Nanchang in China, which was built in 2006. 

The Statue of Liberty is a marvelous neoclassical sculpture located on Liberty Islands, New York, UK. It was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and was built by Gustave Eiffel. It represents many things, such as friendship and love between France and the United States. Also, it commemorates the alliance between France and the United Sates in the Revolutionary War. 

Finally, I,d like to see the skyscrapers of New York, because I have not seen hight skyscrapers. Today, the highest skyscraper of this city is the One World Trade Center, which has 541 metres.
The second highest skyscraper is the Empire State with 383 metres.
350 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10118

ALL OF ME... -JOHN LEGEND-

What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in and you kicking me out
Got my head spinning, no kidding
I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you oh

How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down
I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing
It's ringing, in my head for you

My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
Give me all of you

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you oh

 

OUR ENVIRONMENT

      There are a lot of problems in the world which we have to resolve. Firstly, I will mention the air pollution, which has been created by pollution products, like vehicles exhaust fumes that are pollutants. Also, it was created by chemical waste, junk and fossil fuels, which are causing irreparable damages. Other problem is the recycling, which causes a lot of pollution because people don't recycle. Furthermore, there are energy problems caused by factories or power stations. A big problem is the climate change, whose effects are that glaciers have schrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plants and animals have changed and trees are flowering sooner. Apart from this, other problem developed in undeveloped countries is poverty. It is in deprived regions where children and adults who live there are in desperate need.

      There are a lot of solutions to solve these problems:
It may useful that teachers in the school talk students about these problems and they give solutions to solve them. In addition, we should embrace green politics to preserve the environment. For reduce pollution, we have to recycle and don't throw rubbish. To combat poverty, there are charitable associations like ''Jesús abandonado'' or ''Cáritas'', where we can donate the clothes that we don't use. Also, to solve the air pollution, we have to use less the car and more the public transport or the bike, because cars pollute too musch the envrinment.

LOOKING AT FUTURE...

      After finish my degree in English Studies, I would like working as an English teacher, because I love children and teaching them, but the reality is the economic crisis in Spain is increasing and the possibilities of finding a job are decreasing, so if I can't find a work in Spain, I will go to England for teaching Spanish there. I'd like go to Ireland or London. Other option is if I don't have enough money to travel to England, I will set up my own English academy.

      In my case, I have an advantage because I have two brothers and I always teach them that they don't understand, so I'm in contact with children. This is a big benefit to having more experience for the future. Furthermore, the last summer, my mother had an association and the members of it and my mother made a summer school and I helped my mother with the activities for children. We played with them and we made handicrafts. Also, children watched cartoons and we went to the pools of the country and they swam there. It was very funny, because a little girl called Ángela always was with me. I had a good time last summer!!

THANKSGIVING DAY



      Thanksgiving Day is a national day celebrated in Canada (second Monday of October) and the United States (fourth Thursday of November). This day treat about giving thanks of the preceding year and the hasrvest. 
       
       Thanksgiving Day started in the year 1623. After the harvest crops were gathered in November 1623, Governor William Bradford told:
"All ye Pilgrims with your wives and little ones, do gather at the Meeting House, on the hill… there to listen to the pastor, and render Thanksgiving to the Almighty God for all His blessings."
       
       This is the origin of this day. In the last years, the EE.UU congress proclaimed the Thanksgiving Day and the 1st November it was officially declared like a national day. Also, in 1795, George Washington declared it like the national Thanksgiving Day. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln also proclaimed this national day.
Like this, the Thanksgiving Day, Americans give thanks to God for his blessings and good things during the year. 
 

THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION


    

      Currently, the educational system is declining more and more. Teachers have to give a good education and they have to make that students enjoy that they are studying and also, student should be interested about the subject or the lesson. We live in a world where we are ingenuous, because we believe that we are learning new things, but people only memorize things and then, these things are forgiven. The educational system should improve a lot of aspects if we want to be educated persons and have a good future.
     
       Chomsky tells that there are two types of education: the traditional, which is based on investigating, creating and finding important facts of the past.  Its purpose is obtaining something new and interesting. In adittion, the traditional education want to create persons that they learn with their own forms. The other kind is the indoctrination. It want to find more control of the education. This method makes that teenagers are conformists.
     
       The technology in the education also is important, because it has introduced an enormous change in society. Chomsky tells technology is neutral, due to the Internet is useful if we know that we are finding. We have to find the important thing and we should have a previous idea before find something. Chomsky relates the progress is worse today than past times.
   
       The cost or investment of the technology also is relevant. The government should invest more in education, due to it is very important and increases the society capital. The assestment is relevant. Teachers evaluate students for his marks and it is not correct, because doing and exam only decides if the student has studied and memorized, but not his capacity. Exams would be useful if students learnt. 

      Education should be how Chomsky tells, so it would be more useful, because students would investigate, find and the most important: learn. We need fewer people formed teoretically and more teachers with clear ideas that make children have interest about they are studying, due to the life consists in learning and enjoying that we learn.

IS ADVERTISING DISHONEST?



 

       Many people believe that adverts are true, but not. This is false, because experts on advertising use many marketing strategies and techniques to increase the television audiences and have more sales.

To have a huge influence, they put songs in this adverts with catchy jingles for people remember this. Furthermore, adverts contain powerful images with special effects and powerful slogans to make an impact in people that see it. In addition, TV adverts have a misleading appearance due to they have striking images to cause surprise. 

     

      Some of marketing strategies to promote a product are, for instance, that top footballers promote the product. Like this, people will see that a famous have this product and people will buy it. In many adverts, Cristiano Ronaldo has advertised a product. This type of strategies make the adverts have a visual and attractive impact in people, because a wonderful boy attract the attention of people.

Hand cream adverts are promoted by pretty and young girls. In many adverts, they are without clothes to be more sensual. Now, there are adverts of bras in which appear pretty girls with underwear to have more success.

    

       To summarize, say that advertisements don’t are real, because they don’t tell the truth. They tell the truth in a part of the advert, but not in all it. All the adverts are perfect studied to be truly successful. Ad mans have their own strategies having the right ingredients to sell the product and make an impact in the society.

PEER RESPONSE
TO: LORETO BEVIAR GALLEGO
BY: NAYELI HERNÁNDEZ PASCUAL

Hello Loreto,
Your introduction is very good, because it achieves all the requisites to be a good introduction: it is formed by seven sentences, so it is correct because an introduction have always five to ten sentances. I think you hace introduced the topic clearly due to it attract the readers. Then, you have written sentences of information about the topic. In my opinon, you should have written more sentences to explain the topic, because it's too short. Finally, you have written  a good thesis statement.
The conclusion also is good because you have summarized that you have written in the introduction.







SPORTS



      One sport that I enjoy watching in TV is football, because I love this. I don’t see a football match yet, because I have to go to Madrid and it’s too expensive. Moreover, I enjoy practising this sport. When I was young, I played football with my cousins and my brother in the street and it was so funny. Also, I like playing table football with my friends in the bar. 
Last winter, I went to Pirineos and I practised ski in the snow. I loved this experience, because I had never practised this sport. If I could, I would practice again.
Furthermore, when I had ten years, I practised ice skating with my friend. I really liked this. I love all sports associated with the snow.
       
 
       All sports have a main advantage: they helping you to be in shape and improve your physique, agility and your strength. The sport increases the muscles and boosts the bones. In addition, it reduces the stress and many diseases, like the cholesterol.
However, one drawback of extreme sports is they are dangerous. Also, there are a lot of disadvantages of sport in general. If you don’t practise the sport suitably, you’ll suffer damages and muscle contractions. Moreover, you can be sport addicted.
      
       To sum up, sport is very good for all people, because it improves our physical body and our mind. It reduces the anxiety and stress. We have to do exercise one day a week.
Remember, sport is the only thing that you do for yourself and not for others.

IF I WERE RICH...



       If I won the lottery, I would do a lot of things. First, if my family had tight money, I would give them some money. Second, I would donate money to charities in the third world and in my country, because it is a social responsibility and a moral action. Also, If I were rich, I wouldn’t waste money on unnecessary things. I would share it with the most needy and I’d save money for the future of my sons. It’s really that I would give me some cravings, like a new car, a cruise, a new house... But it’s normal when you win the lottery.

       Winning the lottery has many advantages: when you win a lot of money, you can buy new and expensive things and you’ll always have necessary things, like food and clothes. If you win the lottery, you’ll have a good status and an instant success. You’ll never have tight money. Also, you will travel around the world and visit places that people with a normal salary can’t visit.

      Winning the lottery has many advantages, but also, it has more disadvantages. There are more possibilities that robbers steal you, because they know that you have much money. If I won the lottery, I would have many friends only interested in my money and people would envious of my fame and fortune. If I won the lottery, I would unable to trust anybody. Police will suspicious of me because I would have suddenly a lot of money.

      In conclusion, winning the lottery doesn’t resolve our problems because money in less important than other things like healthy, family or friends. All the childrens think that having a lot of money and being millionaire is the best, but it’s not true, because money doesn’t make happiness.
