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.

Conventional Medicine in ADHD

ADHD is an illnes that makes you a lor of bad things, like less concentration, impulsivity and stressed out. This illness have not a cure, only treatments that can aliviate this illness.

The conventional medicine in ADHD it`s th most effective, thje use of conventional medicine on ADHD has very good results, like make the person make the person that have this illness to be more concentrate, be less impulsive, feel calmer and learn and practise new skills.

The conventional medicine it`s better than the alternative not because the conventional is more effective, it`s too because the conventional medicine it`s much easier to find it, it`s much less expensive and there is much more medications, treatments and doctor that use it.

There is another type of medicine that is called the CAM (conventional and alternative medicine toghether). But in my opinion, the best one is the conventional, because of the thins I just told you.    
WHAT IS IMPERIALISM?
Imperialism is when one country tries to enforce its will on another country, being economically, socially, or militarily.
 Is a proces of the powerfull groupsto extend their power.
Example: Great Britain and France with Africa.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA?
France colonized Algeria and a part of South Africa.
Great Britain took possession of a part of South Africa  and different countries of Africa.
The africans sufered a lot because the great countries took possession of their countries. 

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT IMPERIALISM? IS FAIR OR UNFAIR 

I think it's unfair, because countries with more economicals and military powers must not take that type of advantage with the other countries that have not the same posiblities that be like them, and have to suffer because of their fault because the want to be the most powerfull country in the world 
ESSAY CONVENTIONAL VS ALTERNATIVE

I will talk to you about the alternative and conventional medicine. The conventional is the medicine that the doctor prescribes you and you find in the drugstores. And the alternative is the medicine that you don´t find in the drugstore a lot, generally these are things that you may find in your house.

The conventional medicine is the medicine that I prefer, it is very studied by the professionals, but is more expensive than the alternative medicine.
On the other hand, we have the alternative medicine  when you consume for example honey and not a studied medicine for the throat, there is a lot of alternative medicine in the world and is sold a lot.

All doctors, or most of them prefer to consume conventional medicine.

Finally, I think the alternative medicine is worse than conventional, because it's not proved at all, and the conventional is much secure than the alternative.Therefore, it is a battle of medicine and doctors who are investigating what medicine is the  best.

How to kick a soccer free kick

The best way of kicking a soccer free kick, from the right side of the field, at the end of the crescent of the are and the steps back, it`s like this:

First, I would wear my studs,  otherwise if you wear a common pair of shoes, the ball wouldn`t go to the right corner of thje goal.

Second, you need to put the ball three steps back from the right end of the crescent of the area.

After, you put the ball, you must take three steps back from the ball.

Then, you have to take two steps to the right.

When you are done with that, you should take a deep breath, for you to be relaxed before kicking the ball.

Finally, you have to concentrate, looking where you want to put the ball, rub with a moderate speed to the ball, and hit it in the bottom left of it.

As conclusion, we weill have the ball in the corner right of the goal, exactly where we wanted it.

Glossary:

Stud: It`s an specials shoes, made for play soccer, that have different features.

Area: It`s specific area, where the goalie can catch the ball with the hands.

Crescent: It`s like a new crescent of the moon, that it`s in the end of the area, at the middle.
