In my personal opinion i think that this is so important, i use to use plastic a lot of plastic containers, because it is cheaper and easier to use.

Truly we have to make conscience and realize the real situation about that.

Someone that has taken a risk

During week # 2 I presented about Bill Gates, because we were talking about someone who take a big risk to be successful.

It was difficult for me to choose someone who take a risk, I decided to talk about Gates because he is very successful and it was for the risk that he took on 1976 to leave the university and start into their new company right now Microsoft







A Big Inspiring Family Gets an Even Bigger Surprise



During the 2 and 3 week we were talking about families who adopt children, their benefits and cons of this.


This is the first essay, and talks about food. I tried to talk about raw food because is a topic that nobody talks and I think is interested to develop

The benefits of eat raw meat, vegetables and fruits

As we know a high percent of people around the world don’t use to eat raw foods. It´s about for the aspect that it has, because the people related it with a bad flavor but this is just a myth.
According to a study realized on USA raw foot brings thousands of benefits that are believed to be destroyed when it is heated over 115 degrees Fahrenheit. But what happen if you keep your foods below 115 degrees?

There are some nutrients and enzymes that keep benefits, if you don’t cook this enzymes provide an energy boost for all the body when you it them. Beside if you start to eat sometimes raw foods your energy will increase due to high enzyme and nutrient content and you will feel better.
When you eat raw foods you are consuming a higher content of fiver. The fiber contribute to improve digestion and help to eliminate processes in your body. Additionally base on a search the human body produces approximately 22 different digestives enzymes. These enzymes are capable of digesting carbohydrates protein and some fats. Raw vegetables and also some fruits as carrot cabbage are rich of these enzymes.

Evidently eating fruits and vegetables provides an important source of vitamins for the human body, especially vitamins A and C. This Vitamins boost your immunity and may reduce risk of cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. Based on a article of BBC, people have to eat seven fruits per day to have a good immunity and get less diseases. But based on surveys realized on USA, the average is five fruits. Therefore eat sometimes raw vegetables and fruits could bring thousands of benefits for you.

Keep eating a balanced portion of raw foot (meat vegetables and some fruits) could help you to have a better life.

We still practicing about "the conditionals" because nobody remember this topic. we practiced some exercises that the teacher brought us.

This are the rules to use the conditionals

  • The Zero Conditional:
    (if + present simple, ... present simple)
    If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.

    (if + present simple, ... will + infinitive)
    If it rains tomorrow, we'll go to the cinema.
  • The Second Conditional:
    (if + past simple, ... would + infinitive)
    If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
  • The Third Conditional
    (if + past perfect, ... would + have + past participle)
    If I had gone to bed early, I would have caught the train

We practice about "Past Routines"








Brainwashing Society


Is media brainwashing us to boy things and turning us into consumer market? Advertisers and Television producers spend their days looking the best ways to manipulate your mind and tell to your unconsciousness a message to boy their products or to fallow their TV show. All these kinds of persuasive ads are turning society into a massive consuming society and sinking people to the extremist consumption


Sometimes we spend our time watching TV and indirectly we are manipulated by all this ads turning us consumerist collectors of things that we would have never bought. Base on a study in a group of consumerist just the 39% hast mote income than the rest, they used or go to movie theater, visit malls, boy technological devices and clothes. It mean that all this techniques used by media have influenced the society


On the other hand, at first we have to define the word brainwashing that is a forcible indoctrination to induce people to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitude to accept contrasting regimented ideas to maintain an economically stable society, companies must sell their products to us society. Advertisers and Television producers also have to perform their job to live, for example the ads that show the best things if a country in order to attract foreign country


Concluding, the media are becoming our consumer society, and this is due to the excellent publicity made by advertisers. Media is a double-edged sword.
