Interactive Oral Activity

Caption:

"Do you think you will win? You are wrong! These games are not for you... video games are boys stuff"










My opinion about videos games is that they are fine. Kids can play them, but the need to have an schedule to do use it, because kids do not know how bad can a video game  make to yourself. You have to be conscious about how much you play video games, because they are vicious and the you will just can`t stop playing them, and they also make you to don`t have friends and be always in your house.

In our class, we learned that video games can make you have bad behavior and have bad reactions when it`s time to stop using it.  


1st Support Information:


"Video games are bad for children because they damage their eyes and nerves. There is a lot of violence in these games that affect children's attitudes, behavior and relationships. Kids tend to turn into screen addicts that are detached from the family and the whole world around them when they play too many video games."

2nd Support Information:

"Playing video games can impact on the academic skills of a child. Not only this but also their social skills, thought span, and most importantly, their view on the real world. Video games should be banned for children meaning kids below the age 16 to prevent these tragedies from happening."

Three more important things that I`ll say in front of mi classmates:

1.- How can video games can affect a kid in his social way.

2.- How can you make a child not to be needing video games

3.- How can video games affect a kid in his attittude.

Letter of Complaint

Dear Director,

I`m  sending you this letter, because I`m very worried about the cartoons that you show in your TV channel.
This cartoons show a lot of violence that are not made to little boys to watch it. 

My little brother has change his attitude in a way that I never though he can be. He is so agressive, he is answering in a bad way to mi mom and dad, hiting and kicking me and my others brothers and breaking all his toys.

I think that the better way of making this stop, is by programing the programs that have violence to an hour that can be watched by bigger boys, like at 9 or 10 pm. because that programs are not bad, they are totally entertainment, but they are just not for little kids like 8 or 9 years old.

Thanking you from now, and waiting you to listen to my suggestions, so you don`t loose public to yout channel,

Opinion Piece, Tattoos

From my point of view, the people that uses tattoos cannot be judge before knowing them, because you never know what is behind that tattoo. You`ll never know if that tattoo was made because of a religion, a custom of the family, etc. I, by myself, don`t like tattoos, not because I think that person is a criminal or something like that, just because I don`t like the way that they look. Now I`ll show you the negative side of having tattoos.

First, we have the people that think bad about a person, like if they were a criminal, because he/she have a tattoo, but what about if he/she did that tattoo because his/her mother died and he/she loved her so much? I think that before talking bad about a person, you should know what had happen to that person, and after that, think if the tattoo is because a good purpose or not.

Second, we have the people that thinks that people with tattoos have more difficulties for having job if they show their tattoos to the interviewing man. They say the interviewer will think that you can be a criminal, or that you will not take you job seriuosly, so they will always preffer a man who does not have a tattoo, or at least, that do not have one in sight.

And at last, having a huge tattoo in your arm, or your back, can may people think that you are a violent person, that you only know to solve your problems with violence, and people thinks that you are less smarter than them.

In conclusion, having tattoos in sight, can make you a lot of problems with the people that really don`t think about why do you have the tattoo, but in the point of view of the people that accepts the other people have differents ways of thinking, you will have no problem.
