Languages. Unit 10.


From my point of view it is important to preserve our maternal language and  teach it to our children. Each country has its official language and we must feel proud of its origin because it compromises our culture. Considering whenever it is of great benefit to learn more than one language to be able to communicate and to understand other people.
One of the dominant languages is English because it opens field in the world of  businesses. Most of the entertainment is in English like films, video games, television, music and even Internet. Also we can add the one that the future generations only want to speak in English and it does not interest to them to conserve their maternal language. It is why we must make an effort  to preserve the different languages before these are lost and with them our identity.

My favorite restaurant. Unit 9.


My favorite restaurant is Fogo Brazil. It is located in "La Sabana", a block from the agency of Nissan. In this place I can enjoyed authentic Brazilian food, good wine and delicious desserts. There is a great variety in the menu as far as appetizers and main dishes. Its specialty is roasted meat, the one that serves all to you that you want. Without counting cocktails like caipiriña that can be accompanied with bread and cheese or the divine variety of appetizers or rich imported cheeses. This place is my favorite because its exquisite food, good attention and the pleasant thing of its familiar atmosphere.

Presentation 2.

The video games. Unit 6

 Today video games are very controversial. Some people think is good for the children´s abilities and anothers not. Which children don´t have a video game today?.
The parents worry about the violence  provided by some of this video games. They think they are bad because some of them players use weapons , such as guns, to shoot other characters  in the game, . Players can simulate or re-create real situations too, and act as the planner or leader to meet the needs of the game characters. Also players take the role of a character, or create their own character.
In fact many parents agree  with the video games and the knowledge provided  from this. There are some good things, the quick movements of  video games can help children develop good hand-eye coordination, some of them help children learn to think and solve problems. Create different challenges, fast-movement and full of adventure, such as solving puzzles winning races, searching for treasures, and fighting battles against monsters.
 Do you think video games are addictive?.  According to a study made in E.E.U.U the violence of the game video it is not the primary to the social violence. Nevertheless the mortal panic on violent games of video is double harmful.
From my point of view it is technology, and in these times that we lived it is practically impossible to us to give the back him or worse to even try than our children games do not accede in popular the video. It is only question of embolucrar themselves with our children in his activities, and limiting the time to him used in the games so that it does not interrupt in doing others of the daily life not creating addiction.

Etiquette. Unit 5










Etiquette-protocol is of great importance, because it gives us rules of formal education like professional future. From my point of view the practice of the protocol is extremely important since we must respect others because we live in community. And that is the difference between the good and bad customs or habits.
If you practice the following you have good habits:
When you enter a service business and the people at the counter smile, make eye contact and reach out to shake your hand.
Etiquette dictates that the hands should meet near the thumbs of each other's hands with palms touching, and the shake must be firm but not crushing.
Don't ever speak of bodily functions, such as using the bathroom or telling rude jokes. Even in casual conversation, this indicates immaturity and often makes bad impressions.
Using the terms 'Thank you', 'Please', and 'You're welcome' indicates good manners. People lacking in manners avoid these terms.
Hold open a door for anyone, male or female, following you closely. This is good manners and will never change.
If you need to use the phone, excuse yourself outside or to a quiet room/hallway.
This I feel is of great importance and few people practice it:
Always respect all elders, and listen to them and learn. They have been around more, and can teach you plenty.
Good manners demonstrate high standards of conduct, propriety and esteem; it tells the world you value yourself and acknowledge that you share the world with others.
