FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY


Modern lifestyle can seriously endanger our health 

   Nowadays many people have different lifestyle and it depends on their beliefs and influences that they often receiv. Forinstance, we know that eating fast food all the time is dangerous, which is something that everyone eats without thinking in the consequences. Moreover, other people are active and eat healthy food, and they do sports every day in order to stay fit and keep healthy.

   However, factories and industries, and things related to this, are polluting the environment with waste and toxic fumes, what cause more difficulties for a healthy life. Furthermore, people do not become aware of their bad habits and continue to have a slothful life.

    Taking everything into account, we know that we could do a lot of things to avioda sedentary life and to make a better world for every one.

A REPORT


OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to discuss about how we should spend the money, that we have received from the government, whether spend it on build a police station or paviting and illuminate our neighbourhood, and to make a recommendation.

The neighbourhood

The place that we live had an amazing square which contains playgrounds. However, our streets are not paved, and we need it because the bus posses every day for the streets and is destroying it. In addition, we need more illumination on the streets to protect ourselves from the thieves, and to feel more comfortable.

The police station

Our neighbourhood does not have any kind of security, so we may spend the money in build a police station, just in front of the square, to reduce the corruption.

Recomendation

I recommend spending the money on building a police station because it will benefit the security of every neighbour, and to feel more secure.

a story


   I will always remember that day as one of the worst day of my life. I was cleaning my house, when I received an invitation for an important meeting between foreing people from all over the world, to give a take about the economy in Argentina.

   That meeting was at night,so I had to prepare my things, but I couldn't find my notes because I lost them, so I had to do them again and it was a waste of time. After that, when I was already to go, my car didn't start, so I lost more time and have to take a taxi.

   Finally, I arrived late to the meeting and when I wanted to start with my talk, the light went off and we had to cancel the meeting. That was the reason why that one meeting made it a day I will never forget.

homework

                  Dream of fame

    Many people dreams of being famous because of the benefits that famous people have all the time, for instance, they are well known and always they have free access to everywhere. What is more, famous people appear in the best TV programs.

    Although to be famous is wonderful, there are some disadvantages, such as, famous people have no privacy because they can’t do their everyday things without being annoyed by the press, or some people invent false stories about them, so they have to live with the criticism of everyone. Despite this, they have everything that they want.


    On the other hand being successful but no well known is better, because the life is more quiet and private. In addition you can do thing without being interrupted by journalists and you can enjoy everything that you have.

letter

Dear Alan Reid,

 Recently, I have seen your advertisement in the newspaper and I am writing to apply for a summer job as a sport supervisor in your camp.

I am interested in doing this job because I want to improve my English, and I love working with children. In addition, I have studied different kinds of sport so I have the knowledge of each rule.

I would like to know if you could tell me what salary you are offering for this job. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am in my 20 years old student from National University. As a person I am responsible and hard-working. Nowadays, in my free time, I am working as a waitress in an international restaurant, so I have contact with foreign people, and it helps me to learn more English.

 Yours sincerely,

E-mail

E-mail

Of course! I really like it because of the nature, and I think that it is very healthy to my body, so I want to go, but first tell me what the dates of this summer camp are.

I’d like to study Natural Sciences because is important to me to take care of the animals, the plants, the water, etc, and I want to learn more things about them, so I decided to chose this subject.

Now I want to know how much it costs, because I have to save money, so please tell me soon, and finally, I prefer The Great Barrier Reef because, in my opinion, it is more interesting and beautiful than the Australian desert.

        Let me know soon

                             Love,


                                      Mary

                        “DOÑA SALTA” 

          I tried “Doña Salta” for the first time two month ago, and in my opinion, it is the best traditional restaurant I have visited. 

          The surrounding was really attractive and rustic. It has everything you need to be comfortable. The serve was spectacular because the waiters were very attentive and polite in every way.

          As I was eating with a party of four, we could enjoy different dishes which were well prepared, and they contain only fresh ingredients of the highest quality, and the garrison was exquisite, so I think that it is worth the cost of each dish, because they were tasty and not enough expensive, so the cost of each meal came to about $30 per person.

         All of us recommend this restaurant because it has the best traditional food, and it is located in a strategic location, therefore it is easy to reach.

                                                   My best trip

       It was a trip I’ll never forget. Last summer, I and my classmate won a free trip to “Walt Disney World”, in a sport competition, it was exited for us. We were about twenty noisy students in an aircraft, and only three nervous teachers, who were trying to be patient with us.

      The place was wonderful, because the activities were enjoyable, and all the time we were doing things, such as, swam in the swimming pool, or played in the amusement park, but the most interesting thing that we found was the Harry Potter’s castle, it was like the original version.

      Anyway, when we had visited a theatre, one of my classmate lost his free pass, so he couldn’t enter, to solve the problem, one of the teachers tried to speak with the place’s manager, but it was impossible, so we had to return to the hotel, lost that play, and waited another activities to do. All in all, it was a very memorable trip.

Leisure and pleasure


                 Clubbing- it’s enjoyable

   I first got interested in clubbing last year after my birthday. I was talking to my friends, when they decided to encouraged me to go with them, so I accept and I went to Roka’s disco for the first time.

   I found I really like it and I started to go different clubs in different places, but  my parents were not agree as they thought that something bad could happen to me, so I had to convince them to let me out at night.

   It is leisure for me because of the fact that I met new people, forgot all the stress; I relax and dance all night. Sometimes in the disco, I meet some old friends who can’t see all the time, so I spend time to them.

    I’d recommend it as a hobby due to the fact that it’s too relaxing, very funny to everyone, and it’s a good place to make friends.

email


  
Dear Anne:

                     Thanks for your e-mail. It’s a very good new to know that you are coming to Argentina. In my opinion, the best time to come is in the summer, because there are too many activities to do.

                    As you want to meet young people, you should spend some days in a sport club or in a collage. You could stay in a youth hostel, it’s a good idea.

                    In the summer the weather is too hot for me, but I think that is not enough hot for you, so I suggest bring clothe like shorts, t-shirt, etc., for the day time and could be one or two light jacket if change the weather.

                     Thanks for your invitation to join the group, but I don’t know if I can, due to the fact that I’m studying hard this days. Write me when you are coming!

                           All the best!!

                                           MARY

animal


                     Gorillas in danger


     The gorillas are omnivorous mammals that live in the forest of Africa Central.
It animal is the most similar to the human, after two species of chimpanzees, because they have the same blood type and each gorilla has its own fingerprint to identify it.

     This kind of animal eats fruits like banana, mango etc. Leave, buds of the ground and some insects.
Physically, the gorilla is too long with big hands and large fingers, its fur is usually black, but there are some of them with white fur. Male gorillas weigh about 140-200 km and their height is from 1.65 to 1.75 meters.
     
     The gorilla is in danger for three important reasons:
  • ·         Their main problem is the poaching
  • ·         The hunters kill them because gorilla’s skin and meat are too expensive
  • ·         The hunter destroy their natural habitat


     Finally, to protect these extraordinary animals were created different types of nature reserves, such as, National Park “Ntokou- Ppikounda” and people are trying to create some laws that prohibit hunting of gorilla.

    DESCCRIBING A FAMOUS PERSON
             Tom Cruice
The good-looking actor Thomas Cruice started to be famous
when he acted in movies such as “Impossible Mission” or “Top Gun”.
Tom is considered like one of the sex symbol of the cinema.
Thomas is tall and he is got well- developed muscles and
he  also has beautiful blue eyes with long eyelashes and a generous mouth.
Tom Cruice is generous with his family and friends when they need him
and be a movie star is not the most important for him.
In his free time, Tom likes spend time with his family
and he makes exercises too.
Finally, I like him because is an incredible actor who
acted in saccessful films, furthermore, I think that he will
 continue to surprise us with his exellent work.

                                                                                                                                              By Ortega, Maribel
