PRACTICE 4.

1. When I had trouble with my essays, help came from an unexpected source.
Many times when I have to write an essay, I have some kind of troubles.
First, because many times my ideas just does not come out, and when that happens it is really hard for me to write something.
Second, because many times I am not really concentrate. And this happens when I got my mind in something else, and I just can't write anything.
Finally, it is really hard for me to write an essay because many times I just can't find the right works.
In addition, to write an essay it is not easy for me. But, I really want to write an essays, because I got in mind that writing an essays it is going to help me to improve my Inglish language.

2. The accident [or performance] lasted only a few moments, but I will never forget it.

Suddenly, we heard a sound like something was broke, and became from behind the truck. It was the tire, that came out from the truck. As soon as posible, I had to stop. Because I already was driving on three tires. After I did stop, I just put the hazard lights. Afterward help came, it was a family. They saw that my truck was on three tires, and they did offer me their help. Whe we were putting the tire back, we noticed that all the arm where the tire goes was broke, and it was difficult to put the tire back. Eventually, one member of the famyly just gave me a towing's number. Finally, I called the towing and I waited for twenty minutes, and then I took my truck to the mecanic.
In conclusion, I am glad that this accident was not too big. And this accident did not happend in a few moments, but it is somenthing that I will never forget.

THE TECHNOLOGY

Ms. Kristy's homework

For years the technology has been part of our lives, and it has been improving too. Day and night we depend of it, and we take it with us all the time. The technology is involve in different ways, different sizes, different colors, in other words is found in everywhere. I would like to mention a few ways that how the technology is involve.

I would to begin with the cell phones. The cell phones is a way that how technology works. Since the cell phones were invented, they have been an important factor to the society. Is the best way to communicate in all around the world. Also in many times the society use their cell phones like lanterns. - For example: when the power went off, or when is to dark inside the house, or for just to looking something in places where there is no light. Another reason is that society can use them to take pictures, and to save an important data. Even more they save time and money.

The second way where the technology is involve, is on the computers. The computers are an important factor for the society too. Thanks to this factor the things are more easy. With them, we can do a lot things. For one thing we use them like a notebook, and even more after to write anything we can save it. Also we use them to watch movies, to listen music, and we can save important data too. Another reason is that computers are easy to carry on. Moreover we use them to conect to the internet.

A third way where the technology is found, is in the video games. Since the video games exist, they have been an attraction to the society, even more for the shortest ages. Many people had found a lot fun in the video games. For others play video games, is a way to go out from the stress. There are many different video games. - For example: Action, sports, puzzles, adventure, just to mention a few video games. Even in the video games, the technology has been improving.

SOURCES ABOUT JUTICE

Ms. Kristy's homework

According to Wikipedia The Free Enciclopedia: ''Criminal justice is the sistem of practices and institutions of governments directed at upholding social control, deterring and mitigatin crime, and sanctioning those who violate laws with criminal penalties and rehabilitation efforts.
In the United States, criminal justice policy has been guided by the 1969 President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, which issued a ground-breaking report ''The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society''. This report made more than 200 recommendations as part of a comprehensive approach toward the prevention and fighting of crime.
Some of those recommendations found their way into the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. The commission advocated a ''systems'' approach to criminal justice, with improved coordination among law enforcement, courts, and correction agencies. The President's Commission defined the criminal justice sistem as the means for society to enforce the standards of conduct necessary to protect individuals and the community''.

BRAINSTORMING ABOUT JUSTICE

Ms. Kristy's homework.

Justice is a big word and means a lot for me. We can't live without justice, because justice is like a pilar, that protects us againts all the bad things. Justice never stop, day and night fights for the good reasons and for the good things. All the people that are involve, work so hard just to make it much better.

Justice is in everywhere, I can do bad things and then run away, but sooner or later justice will be there for me. I think that's why I love to watch accion movies, or those movies where the the law [justice] always plays a role. In those movies, the bad guys do a lot bad things and then run away but later on they got cought.

The same happens in the real life, I had heard in the radio, watched in the TV, readed on the newspapers, and told by others people about all the bad guys and all the bad things that are happening in this world. But I think, that sooner or later justice will be there for just to make the right think.

When a mother take cares of all her children, I think justice does the same think, it take cares of its all people. This is what justice means for me too. I can say that justice is an act of courage and it is made it for the good people. For those persons who still believe in it, for those persons who really wants a a better world and a better future.

In conclusion, I can say that I'm one of those persons that still believe in justice, because I still believe in a better life and a better world. And I still believe too, in those persons who work so hard for just to make the justice much better. Justice is a very good reason reason and very important for me, because without it, this world would be more dangerous than it is now.

One day my family and I, were in the living room watching TV. Suddenly my mom started to talk about an injustice. She was referencing to one of her friend. My mom said that the police made an injustice about one son of her friend. We were intrigued and ask her - how come?

She said that one night the son of her friend was hanging out with his friends. That night, they were driving one of his friend's car by all the Detroit's streets. They were driving so fast and with a louder music. Suddenly this guy ask to his friends - why they were acting like crazy people. At the moment no one of them answered him.
Later on one of them just told him - you are with us and you have to support all that we are doing or something bad can happen to you.

He couldn't do anything and he felt pressure by his friends. He didn't unterstand why his friends were talking to him like that. After a few minutes later, he noticed that they were on drugs.
He had a bad feelings and he felt that the worst thing could happend to him. And he wasn't wrong, after of many hours doing that, the police got the report that some gansters were making problems by all the streets. The police started looking for them, and later on they were caught. There was five people in the car, and the police notice that four of them were on drugs. Then the police started to inspention all the car and for their surprise, they were carring drugs.

The guy just got in shock, and he didn't understand why his friends didn't tell him anything. The police took them to jail, they were interroget. The judge found them guilty, this guy fought for his rights argumenting that he was innocent and that he didn't know about the drugs. But the judge didn't believe him. He never found his innoccent, so he went to jail and he pass five years in there. He was a U.S resident and he lost all the rights of this country. After the five years in jail, he was sent to Mexico.

HOMEWORK CHAPTER 3

MS KRISTY'S HOMEWORK - practice 5.

Narrowed topic: My brother Alberto
Controlling idea: is smart and a successful person.
Topic sentence: He never give up in one of his goal.

Alberto is my second brother. I really admire him because he is very smart, and a successful person. Since he stared to go school, and when he discovered what really wanted he never stop it. Now, he has a career and I'm very proud of him. Every day I saw him doing his homework, many times until the midnight. There were days that he didn't eat anything, even more many times he didn't sleep very well. I remember that when my mom saw him, she just got very worried. One day she told him - if you don't eat anything you're going to get sick, and he just said - don't worried mom is for a good reason. Now she's very proud of him, and the rest of the family too. He always worked in what he is now - a mechany ingeneer.

Narrowed topic: A time when I wasn't in control.
Controlling idea: Many times I can't control my anger.
Topic sentence: I do a fool things everytime that I get angry.

Many times is too difficult to get along with my anger. For example - three weeks ago like every morning at 6:00 am before I get to start to work, I have to go first to the stool deparment and just to get what I going to need. That day there were a few workers after me, and it took me a few minutes to get my tools. After that,when I started to work one of my work partner came to me and told me - I need this material, can you bring it to me? Yes, just give me a few minutes I said. Then a few minutes later my supervisor came to me and told me with an angry voice - what is happening you don't look the clock, is thirty minutes later and you are just getting started. Where were you, your partner is waiting for material - I know he just told me I said, and then I had a big argument with him. I got very angry and I did something fool - I just ran away from my job, I don't know what I was thinking. The next day I was more relaxed, and I showed up in my jod. I thought that they were to going to fire me, but that didn't happeng, they just gave me a warning. That day I wasn't in control.

Narrowed topic: An act of courage.
Controlling idea: Courage is the meaning of persevere.
Topic idea: To follow our goals, we need the courage to get them.

One of my goal is to go to the college and get a degree. But of course I need of this word - courage. I can say that I want to do this or I want to get that, but If I don't have the courage to do it, all my words go away and see my goals just disappear. I want to be a successful person and get a career just like my brother Alberto. I know that is not going to be easy. I know too that I have to work very hard, just like him. With an act of courage, I can make this dream come true. I heard people say - when you want something there are many obstacles to get trought. But only the wisdon people say - any obstacle is impossible, with an act of courage you can trought it.

PRACTICE 6.

For example the tacos, this recipe is a traditional food and it is like a fast food, because it doesn't take long time to make them. Another recipe that it is well known and traditional too is the mole, this delicious food is the favorite of many mexicans. Besides the tacos and the mole we can count too with the delicious chimichangas, and what about the guacamole, that it is always on the table. But lets not forget about this delicious recipe too,the pozole; that it is a favorite food too, but what about the tamales, a tratidional mexican food too and they are in many mexicans events. Well, I just had mentioned some recipes, but there are many more that all mexican and all people can enjoy.

Secondly, I would like to talk about its culture, for example the traditional mexican mariachi, that it has a simbol that enrich more the mexican culture. Besides the mariachi, there is the mexican craftsmanship, where day and night that crafstman work so hard, and they make different types of shapes in different volumens and different colors. With their talent and their job makes the mexican culture even more interesting. But, what about its tequila, that is part too of the mexican culture, in Mexico there are many cities where make the tequila, and it is distribute in many countries of the world.

The third reason that I want to talk is about ist tourism. In Mexico, there are many beautiful places where all tourists can visit it and where they can enjoy.

QUESTION 4. ALCOHOL.

Why alcohol should be outlawed on TV? In college newspapers? I think, alcohol should be no allowed in every where. Because is a very damage sustancie, that it can cause rapid poisoning, frequently leads to longterm addiction, and always threatens self control. Is the reason of many tragedies. For example, car accidents, family abuses, and is the reason that many wokers are absent or late, and tend to loss their jobs, and many times their families. But the worst thing is that many minors are involve. Specially the students, where many of them usually have the lowest grade or even though, they drop the school. Alcohol can cause too, infertility in women and impotence in men. Actually alcohol, plays a major role in many relationships where many of them are destroy. Alcohol causes many negative effects, and should be not allowed anymore.

NIGH WATCH

Night Watch is a good story, but really sad. If I were the son of the old man in this story, my first reaction it would be angry. Why angry? because I did not have the opportunity to watch my father in his last moment of life. I will also angry, because at the moment that I was told that somebody else took care of him in his last hours, and it wasn't me. In that moment I would be angry for everything. For myself, for life, for the airplane companies.
My second reaction it would be grateful, because at the moment that I was told, that it was a Marine that it took care of my father, I would looking for him just to give them all my gratitudes, even more when he didn't tell my father that it he wasn't me. That would be my unique consolation, just to think that it my father die thinking that it was me, who took care of him in his lat moment.

SPEND TIME WITH A FAMOUS PERSON

If I could spend time with a famous person, it would be Shakira. Why? because is a nice person, she loves to help people, when I say people I refer children, youths, adults, women. Because she has been a successful person, in her life, her career and everything that she does. I would like spend tme with her because I've been a fan of her, since I was a child. Also because I like her music, everytime she dances, I like her hip movement and because she is beautiful.

MY MISTAKES FROM THE BLOGG

SPENT : I used this word in my topic about my favorite place, because I thought that I was using the correct word. In this word I just wanted to explain about the time, for example pass time in something that you like it. But SPENT is the simple past and the past participle of SPEND.

SPEND : Is the simple present and is more formal, and implies spending for some definite in usually or worthy objects.

TO THE EDITOR

Sensationalist reporting is harmful to all people involved an has no place in our society.
Our lives were so quiet, we felt free, our lives were so normal, we could walk on the streets without any prejudice. Until you came into our lives and made them a desaster. Many times I just wonder, why this is happening to us?. Since you published the incident where my son was involved everything has changed with him and in my life. Why you have to follow him all the time? Why you don't leave him alone ounce and for all? He is a prisioner on his own house, he is just not able to leave in front the house, he cannot work, he doesn't know about a normal life, he hasn't a real life, because of you. I just wonder, what kind of people are you?
I already told you, my son is innocent, he is not a murderer. You have taken all privacy and all peace from us. I don't want you to ruin my son's life, like you did with Princess Diana or somebody's else life. As a result of the media's tolerance for irresponsible reporting, my family and I are a few more victims of sensationalism at ist worst. On behalf of all victims of sensationalism, we demand a formal apology.
