+++global warming and footprint+++


Every day, the global warming is increased for the bad habits that we have because today we take a bath and water is hot. Every day, we use the car or the public transportation. We use constantly the electricity, some people use air conditioning to cool the house, or unlike, to heat the house, and each thing that I say has a big impact in the environment, but the problem most important are the gases because that causes the greenhouse effect, and this condition contributes with the global warming.


So in this moment, we can do something like walk and don´t use the car or the transportation, take a bath with cold water, or put solar panels, and use natural electricity. We can turn off the lights when you are not using them. So think about it, it is important do some today.

+++marriege+++


I consider that in this moment I don’t want to get married because I am very young, I don´t know if I am going to get married, but I think that yes, maybe in 10 years because this idea doesn´t bother me. From what I heard and so many divorces, I know that life is very difficult with another person, but I believe that I need to try. And now in this course, I know that there are prenuptial agreements between the couple, and with this you keep things, like the house, the car, the clothes, and this is very interesting because you can write some obligations in the marriage, and this sounds crazy, but I think that this is a good idea, and this gives more confidence.

Voluntary Simplicity Project

+++simple life+++


This movement depend of the person, depend of your personality, and how the people grow, because this is a way that they have chosen to live. If the people chose this kind of life living debt free, living close to nature, working from home, living green and without chemicals, cookin from scratch, and some people say that they living close to God, the order is very important. Many people can say this life is horrilbe, but a think that in life all is custom, but everybody has a different concept of how they want to live and what will make them happy. For me, the important things are our faith, our family and friends.

+++storytelling+++


For me, this began many years ago since the human started to speak because I think that people started to tell some stories, and then the children asked to tell them more stories, and the adult invented them to entertain the children. I think that this was more common in the past because now it is very difficult to find some storytellers. Actually, we can say that the storytellers are the parents when at night they tell stories for their children can sleep, but normally the parents only read a book, and do not invent the story. So I invite all to make up stories for children.

Tourism

+++Tourism+++


Tourism means going to other places or countries, but the place that the people are going to choose depends on your interest about culture, religion, sports, shopping and fun. In this country, or better I have to say in Latin American, the people go to another place to fun, and normally they go to practice activities like: scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, walking in the mountain, sky trek, canopy, but those are only little examples, and I can say that are the most popular because I studied tourism for 3 years, and the people look for this kind of fun.
But it is true that many people go to any place to relax because their lives are very difficult, or only because the doctor says that they need to rest. So I invite people to go to other places to have a moment of relaxing and peace together with the family

+++The language+++



The language is very important to live because if we don´t have a language maybe it was impossible to have communication, but fortunately we have this possibility. Some people can say that are many languages, and this is true, but each country has a second language, and is English. For this reason, it is important to know English because every person knows a little about this language.


Also, we need to know that we can have the knowledge of English, but every person has a different dialect, and maybe you don´t understand. This is one disadvantage. But, the important is to look for new words, to try to understand the other person. And the most beautiful in knowing other languages is the pride and happiness that you feel. I imagine that this is great.

+++Sports+++


For me, these sports are very difficult, and if you want to participate in this one, you need to do a lot of exercise every day. In other words, you need to be a professional athlete because those tests are strong for example the ultra marathons. In this race, the people run between 80 to 161 kilometers, but the most incredible is the terrain. I think that those people are crazy because normally they run in the dessert, for several days, and they sleep in a tent and I imagine that this is very uncomfortable. Really there are people that love the sports, the adventure, the danger, but if they are happy it is the important thing.


Now, I am a person that likes to practice the sports very much because when I was a girl, my parents made me get in a club in Colombia. The name that club is "Sobre ruedas" and in this place, I trained every day to win in the race of the skate, until I came to Costa Rica. So our body needs the exercise. I hope that you practice any sport.

+++Identity theft+++


This is a very common fraud where the criminal people lie about who they are, and their purpose is to get the money, or other things that are valuable. Normally, the people think that this problem is not frequent, but it sounds amazing. This week, my boyfriend got a call. A woman said that he won a travel for two people to Flamingo, and the woman asked him for the number of ID, also if he has credit cards and personal questions. In this moment, my boyfriend felt that all these questions were very uncomfortable, and he said he didn´t like to say this information for the phone, and immediately the woman ended the call. So I think that the radio, and the TV should prevent the people about this fraud because every day the the victims increase.



+++Advertising+++


The advertising can be pictures in magazines, in the newspapers, on internet, or it can be videos about the products that the companies want to sell. The videos normally are presented on TV. The companies have to pay for the advertising, and this is very expensive. When a company is going to do advertising, they need to have different aspects, like the sound effects, get the attention of the people, humor, and logically information about the product. An example is the company Dos Pinos. They have money enough, and show on TV the majority of their products, such as milk, ice creams, juice, etc...


I think that the advertising is very effective because many people can see the product, and usually pay attention, and then the consumer goes to buy the product or service.

Health!!!




For me, one thing very important in each person is health, and one only learns this when he is ill. Only in this moment, they take good care. I say this because it happened to me. I was a person who didn´t like to eat for keeping me thin. And after, I had to go to the hospital. Last week, I understood the real importance of health. And now I am with this, until I can learn that the health is not only the physical part, also the mental health, and this can be obtained having a good social life because every person needs the other. You need to talk, hug, kiss, and laugh. Then, the moral is to know the importance of what they eat, not because the others say it only because your body needs it.

FOOD!!


You decide which you prefer body!!!

If a person feels nervous, stressed, miserable, irritable, you can eat better because it is true when the people eat something, this food can change their mood. Many people think in this like something stupid, but these people are wrong. Personally, when I feel tired, I quickly go for a candy because this gives me energy, and then I feel less tired. When I feel sadness, I eat chocolate. This doesn’t remove me the pain, but I like the chocolate, so this helps me to forget a bit the problem. I try to eat everything because this is delicious, and I am cheerful when I eat.

Video Games




For me, the video games are only for the people over 12 years because the children don`t have the maturity, and it is probable that they think in doing the same of the video game, for this, in the present there are many cases of children fighting with other children. Others cases are when the kid kills his own parents because now the video games are very violent. I think the children can play video games for children, where the parents know the game, and have a control with the time. This is very important because the children play hours and hours, and this is very dangerous. The video games are addicted. And they left the study to play the video game. So we must be careful with what the kids play.

Etiquette


For me, this topic is very important in life because it means the education that the family gives, when we are children. But the book has many rules that I don´t know, for example:


I eat while walking down the street because I normally eat ice cream on the streets, and I see the other people eating, too. I talk on a cell phone while in a restaurant with friends. For me, this is very common. I always answer the cell phone, and I didn´t know that it was very rude. And I think most people don´t know many rules because this is very busy!

Innocent or guilty??







I don´t know about this topic. For me it is very difficult to speak about people innocent or guilty, but I made an investigation about a story, and I am going to tell you:

Alton Logan was convicted for killing a security guard at a McDonald's in 1982. The police arrested him because three eyewitnesses identified him. His mother and brother testified he was at home sleeping when the murder occurred. But this didn´t help. He was in jail for 26 years, and he was innocent.

The money




For me, the money is very important because use we need it to pay everything like clothes, transportation, university, and the most important is the food (logically, unless we can live), but most people think the money is the only important in life. They believe that the money can buy everything, and this is false because I can say I am happy and I don´t have much money, only the necessary to live. Also I know a lot people that have to much money, but they aren´t happy, simply because they have everything they want in their lives, so they don´t need anything else, and their lives are boring. So, we need to be happy with what we have.

My community


The community is very important for all people because on this depends the kind of life that we have. The community isn´t the place where we live, it is every person with we have a contact every day, and is the place where our children will grow up; so it is important to choose the best. My community is perfect, my family and I have a lot quietness because there are no homeles, the children are happy, almost all the neighbors are very nice, and we try to help and vice versa. Simply, my community is beautiful.

My ideal job




In the world there are many kinds of job, but we have to choose the best, because on this depends our lives. For me the most important is being interested about the job, with this, the time will pass very quickly. I don´t worry about the workplace, simply because you are happy in this place. So we need to study very much to reach our ideal jobs. Another theme of considerable important is the salary because on this we depend economically, and everything is a complement because it defines our free time, the stress, and the society that we have a contact with.
