Internet addicion

 the majority of young people are addicted to the internet. I think this is a serious disease that affect the young population, the parents should avoid that the children and young pass all the time in the computer.

I have an example that happened to me. I have been using the internet for two years but, now i spend more time with my books that are most important for me. when i was using the internet with frecuency my grades in the university were very bad.

the internet has advantage that help the people, for example communicating whith friends and family, provides the ability of emails, information at various levels of study, message boards where peolpe can discuss ideas on any topic etc.

you can use the internet but you need to have knowledge as you can use it.

The Oldest Old

The aging people in many times they feel bad and depressive because they have to wait that somebody might do something for them. They can not do many things by themselves for that reason they have to depend on someone.

It is suppose that being an aged person could be a beautiful part of life but aging people need financial supporting what it is becoming hard to get due the world economical situation.

Independently, the most of people want to live for a great amount of years... In order to an aged and healthy person (over 90 or 100 years) it has been discovered 4 keys: activism, engagement or commitment to something very interesting, mobility and strength adapt to loss.

We have to appreciate every moment with ours aged family because that season of life never come back. Love your older family and relatives and help them whatever you could... One day you will be in the same situation...

Will the Fresh Water Disappear in the Coming Future?

     All of us know that whenever we talk about fresh water, we talk about life. But, if at a given time in the future, the fresh water runs out from rivers, lakes, and other fountains, are people going to die because of this situation?  

     Well, people might say ”yes! Of course”. Nowadays, thare are many announcements on some kind of Communication Medias telling people not to waste water. But, I disagree with the theory that in a not too distant future, there will be a lack of fresh water and people from all over the world will die.

     Nevertheless, I agree that there might be a lack of water, but people wont perish because of this cause. I’m very clear that the fresh water is necessary for human beings and nature, but we are living in high-tech moments where we have access to many modern procedures. That why I decided to show how the salt water can be turned into fesh water. What means that in the future, people will have access to fresh and drinkable water.

Unit: The Bold and the Bashful

Hello guys!!

    Since we had to write about shyness in the last quiz, a very short story came to my mind that day. In the story, you will see something that can help anyone fight shyness or the strong feeling on embarrassments. Please! read the story and do not ignore it.  Laughing at yourself might be the best way to combat  shyness and fear. 

Here It is!

Earth, Swallow Me Up!

They say that one time someone confused a boy's chubby red cheeks for two tomatoes. And when that person tried to pick the tomatoes he burnt his hand. And that was the least he could expect, because Alfie was the most easily embarrassed person you could imagine; and he greatly feared ridicule.

Even the slightest annoyance would turn his face as red as a chilli. And so it was, that one day something truly ridiculous happened to Alfie, something which almost made him explode with embarrassment.

He was with his friend Jamie, practicing for a play Jamie was going to be in: The Three Little Pigs. After a while spent rehearsing the play, Alfie remembered that he'd invited Dora to his house that afternoon. Dora was the sweetest, prettiest, cleverest girl in his class. Alfie ran straight to the playground, found Dora, and said to her,

"What do you reckon? Should we go to my place? I can give you a sausage sandwich..."

And just as he finished saying this, he realised that he had forgotten to remove the mask and costume of the little pig! Dora was speechless. Everyone in the playground started laughing, and poor Alfie, unable to react, just thought, "Earth, swallow me up!"

Suddenly, Alfie disappeared into the ground, and found himself in an incredible place. Everyone in that place had wanted the Earth to swallow them up! And it was no surprise at all, because the faces of the people there were all covered with expressions of utter embarrassment. Alfie met an athlete who had run a race in the wrong direction, and had thought he had won it by a huge distance. He met a bald young lady whose wig had blown off during a storm, and he met a bride who had stepped on the train of her wedding dress, and ended up rolling about like a meatball.

Soon, Alfie found out that the only way to escape from that place was through laughter. But not just any kind of laughter; you could only escape by learning to laugh at yourself. It wasn't easy, some folk had spent years there, under the Earth,refusing to find anything amusing about their own embarrassment.

But Alfie managed to overcome this, and learned how to find the humour in those moments of shame and embarrassment. He also learned to use them in a way that made others laugh, and bring them a little joy. When he remembered himself in the little pig mask, talking about sausage sandwiches with Dora, he couldn't stop laughing at the whole situation.

As soon as he realised all this, Alfie was instantly returned to the playground, in front of Dora, just where he had left her. But this time, far from getting embarrassed and tongue-tied, he smiled at her, took off his little piggy mask, wiggled his little piggy bottom, and said,

"Come on, cheer up! Today I have great ham in store!"

Dora and the others laughed, and from that day on, Alfie became one of the funniest kids at school, able to make himself and others laugh at whatever happened to them.

The Water We Drink.

We as human being, the plants and the animals need water to survive. If we don`t drink enough good clean water, we will get sick or even die. But our water isn`t always clean enough. Sometimes it has germs and chemicals in it. In our counrty as we were talking about in the class the quality of water supply and sanitation services are poor. We pay a service that most of the times we don`t receive. A long time ago our country is going through something that we call ``Lack of water``. Everyday in the news and even in our neighborhood we listen to people making complaints about that problem that is affecting our Dominican Republic.
