What do you think?

Choose one alternative:

Is it OK to copy someone else's work and say that you did it?

a) As long as you get a good grade for the homework.
b) Agree, but then write the true anyway.
c) No, because it is dishonest and robs credit from the other person.

I chose alternative C, because the person worked hard doing an essay for example. If you want to see someone's else work you can took an Idea from it and then Paraphrase words and ideas.And if you think that an idea is good and you liked to use it you must put the name of the author of the ideas.

TV and our Children where is the Limit?

Today our society is really involved with television. It's more common that both parents work, and do not have control of what their kids are doing at home. TV has replaced the family dinner, or conversation . It's an important part of modern children.But what kind of programs are we showing to them? We need to put a limit for it. Our kids need to watch programs that give them values about life.

The Interview that caught my attention was the one that Daniela Roco wrote. I think it was very interesting, organized and had an Introduction of his interviewee.Then the questions went from general to specific.Something that I really like is to work with kids. They give a magic energy each day, just with a simple smile or word that they say they can make your world perception change . I learnt that in order to be a TEACHER we need to "Be consequent, perseverant, responsible, and the most important thing is to have the vocation for this profession" as Mr. Roco said. I really liked her Interview.

About my Interview I have learnt that ¨"surfing" is not only to ride a wave; it is much more than that. It's a close connection with nature and the ocean. You need a healthy mind and body in order to practice this sport. Surfing is not only a sport it is also a "way of life"

Argumentative Essay Topic

Recycling should be compulsory in Chile

"I have chosen this topic because I found it to be very interesting and controversial. We all know that Chile tried to put this initiative into practice, but it only lasted a few years.
I hope that with my essay some people can wake up and realize the huge damage that they are causing to our world"
