Amazing centenarians

  We call "centenarians" a group of individuals who have lived more than a hundred years. This is a real example of what nature can do.
To live for more than 100 years is a gift from God that not eveybody has, that's the reason why the people who have lived for more than 100 years are just chosen few.

  Here you have a list of the oldest centenarians registered in the world:

The oldest people ever

Ineternet addiction: beyond a simple hobbie

Internet addiction is real disease that is affecting the entire society, either young or old people. Nowadays there is a high percentage of people that are spending hours and hours in front of a computer, and this percentage has been increasing every year in staggering amounts, creating a big conflict for the human life.

What is really causing concern, is the huge amount of young people aproaching to this desease (specially teenegers). The internet addiction is one of the main causes of problems that young people may show to cope with the world and to interact with other people, creating a psicological disorder which does not help the teenagger to mature correctly.

The problem begins when those individuals start to neglect their duties at school and home, spending the time on the common social networks like Facebook, Twitter or MySpace, and also on any chat room. Among the other problems it may cause are: detachment from the reality and problems to associate with other people.

The Oldest old.

Look at this picture......

This is Jeanne Calment considered the oldest supercentenarian

of the modern time, she lived 122 years. She was from France and according to The Free Encyclopedia she outlived both her son daughter and her grandson. Even though she was French The United State has the record of supercentenarians.

CENTENARIAN

for me old people are blessed  because  nowdays many  of the  people don't  reach that age.I think that we have to respect them because they have to be  considerated as our parents.I'M be aware of that they have seen some generation and have more experiences about how to live the life and they advice young people about how to be the best in life.

MY BEST  FRIEND GRANDMOTHER

UNIT 2

I think old people are a good example for our society,because they have a long life,and they know everything. I respect and accept their advices,even though,i disaggre with them!

Centenarian

Talking about old people my grandmother's brother his names is Oclides Mella and he is one of the oldest in my family because he is 90 years old and one think that surprised me it was when he told me that he is able to remember everything he did when he was 15 years old. He was talking about his life and how difficult was his childhood.Nowadays he is rich and have 3 houses and 5 sons.

Internet addiction is excessive computer use that interferes with daily life.It may take part of your life away and you can be like the only person you think you are in the world. people are not allow to use the internet too much time because they may have problem in their future, for example this guy.

the centenarians

HELLO!

I think older people should be treated with respect, attention, and affection, those people are like children who can not defend by themselves. I feel so much affection for them since each one of them I see my parents at a time and so I wanted they were treated like that when they reach that stage. Is a shame to see modern society how to marginalize the elderly and most in our country. I think the best for these people is to be with their family. it is very sad to see in them that look of sadness, loneliness and lack of love, like saying loudly I feel lonely. To tell you the truth for me they are very tender.

Hello everyone in this English class, You know me, I am Oscar Nùñez, BH-4193, and I want to share two pictures from my grandmother. It`s Really Nice to have the opportunity to do it, because I really love her... She is a really Sweet person, She Likes to smile, She is 81 years old and almost every one of her sons and daughters are trying always keep in touch most time possible with her. She is a very funny woman, I think my grandma knows how to enjoy the life. She is on movement all the time. Thanks for take the time to read this simple opinion about my beautiful grandma.

(Edited) In Other moment i am going to write something else.

CENTENARIAN

The Oldest person I know

I'm going to talk about my grandmother who is the oldest person I know. My grandmother's name is Rafaela. She is 90 years old. She lives in Santiago. She is one of the wonderful people I know. She is really nice, friendly, and talkative. My grandmother's favorite foods are beans, rice, and white meat. Her favorite activity is to share time with her family and friends. According to my grandmother, the secret to reach her age is to work hard, keep moving, be happy, and always do what is right. Finally, I feel sad when I see all the pills that my grandmother has to drink every day but I'm glad she is alive.

HOLA

A centenarian is a person who is or lives beyond the age of 100 years. Because current average life expectancies across the world are less than 100, the term is invariably associated with longevity. Much rarer, a supercentenarian is a person who has lived to the age of 110 or more, something only achieved by about one in a thousand centenarians. Even rarer is a person who has lived to 115 years old; only 1 in 50,000 centenarians make it to this age.BY WIKIPEDIA!!!

OLDEST OLD

I think that one of the principal factors to be a centenarian is the 'genetic factor', because as we had notice according to several studies and research.
 It doesn't matter if during your youth you get a good nutrition,practice sport,sleep 8 hours every day or eat healthy,all these factors are not determinant.
 I have notice that in Dominican Republic as in several countries they are elderly that belongs to a low social class and other belongs to a upper class, so it means that it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor,Black or white, Man or woman. Every person is genetic encoded to have a long healthy life or not.
 It also help the way you face the problems,the attitude,good mood,these are very important factors too.

HI

hey friends,tonight we dont have class

HEY

hey professor,tonight is there class?

Yuen Woo Ping

I think that Yuen Woo Ping is an exellent chorographer and director too, because I had seen some of his movies and I ever wonder how actors can do that.
I haven t read the article about yuens´life in ours book but now I know that exis a wire flaigth that actors use to fly and do an exellent jump in the movie . The movie The Matrix is an example to to this. Yuen has a good carreer as a chorographer.

Internet Addiction

It is very harmful because it brings the vagrancy in the life of each individual who decides to be in a computer for a long time, moreover, it can be considered as a social evil, because it leads them to omit their real lives, relatives, friends or any activity what is their responsability or duty to do.

In my opinion, Internet Addiction isolates people, it damages family´s relationship; such as the case of my brother who never leaves his bedroom. I think that people become selfish and they can not control their own lives.

Source: Rossy Frias. Opinion

In my opinion it is very dangerous because It steals the time of people, even more, can destroy their real lives, and exposes them to see things that damage their minds and heart. I watched an amazing movie about a marriage, one of the causes of its near destruction was that the husband spent more time on the computer, looking for pornography than with his wife. He was addicted to pornography, so much so, he nearly lost his marriage.

ADDICTIONS

There are different types of addictions: sex, alcohol,smoke,casino gambling, drugs, internet, etc. It no matter if you are sexholic or alcoholic each case is equally important, because all of them destroy you. You do not have friends, lose your family, you are away from the real world.

You have to be inteligent and no succumbs to these diseases. For this reason I am going to recommend you:

-Never do something for being cool.

-Try to stanblish limits.

-Stay away of this addictions.
-Never start doing something because you are depressive.

Stay away from those addictions and be happy and free.

internet addiction

internet addiction has many negative effects on people, the most immediately from my point of view, is definitely social, because people moves away from family and friends for being a the computer, relationships begin to cool, leave to attend meetings with friends, and can even feel irritable when they are away from the computer, thus causing a negative effect on social relations.

Opinion about the item "ADDICTIONS"

Hello, Professor Atilano, I am Ivonne. I want to tell you that this item is very interesting, in the book North Star there are themes about this item, I found a definition about it and it says that "a person who spends hours and hours a day in only one thing is a addict person".

I know persons that spends hours and hours in front of a computer and they only left it, if they need to go to the bathroom. In that way may brother, like so much to play in the computer and he all the time is hurting it.

I know that I am addicted to walk, to eat icecream, to see the stores, and change the color of my hair, but I am betting to see my hair natural, cause I am in economy.

There are many people that get some sores and illness, because they are so busy thinking and doing things that they like so much, and they forget about their body, and they do not worry about their health and it can result in a terrible sickness.

The end.

INTERNET ADDICTION

Internet addiction is a bad habit. When a person is addicted to Internet he or she wastes lots of time in front of his or her computer. There are many things to do on the web such as download music, movie, and programs, listen to music, chat with your friends and family, send messages, do homework, etc. For these reasons, become an addicted to Internet is really easy. People who are addicted to Internet cannot stop using their computers because they think that they lose focus if they stop for a while. Therefore when a person is addicted to Internet he or she does not care too much about his or her health. Although this addiction is really bad, many parents prefer to haver their children connected to Internet at their houses than have their children playing on the street.

Ten years ago, I was addicted to Internet. I connected to Internet in the morning and disconnected at night. It was a waste of time. I strove hard to quit this bad habit. I started to reduce the hours I spend online by sharing time with real friends in real life. Also, I decided not to create any new account in any new webpage. After that, I don't have any motivation to be online all day. If I could go back to the time when I was addicted to Internet I would do something more fruitful and productive in life.
