Lucy Gomez


Lucy Gomez is the most creative person I know. She started piano lessons when she was only 6 years old. At school, she was always creating interesting projects in her art class. When she was only 12 years old, she won a citywide poetry contest. Her parents were very proud of her. Now Lucy works as a sitcom writer for a popular TV show. She works with a group of writers, and together they have to think of fresh ideas. They also have to come up with funny dialog for the actors on their show because the actors have to play believable characters that will make the audience laugh. It is not an easy job, buy Lucy does it well. She starts work late in the morning and often works until 7 or 8 at night. Lucy is very curious. She likes to travel and meet new people who have opinions that are different from hers. She often carries a notebook with her and writes down what she sees and hears. Lucy tells me that these new experiences are a good source of ideas for her work. I always enjoy talking to her and am happy to know someone as bright and creative as Lucy.

Embarrasing moment

One day I was taking a walk on the beach and stopped to look at the waves. Suddenly, Ithought I saw something struggling in the water. It looked like a man who was having trouble swimming. At that moment I reached for my glasses, and then remembered I'd left them at home. I couldn't see the object clearly. Just then a big wave came, and the man was gone. At that moment I ran as fast as I could to get the lifeguard. After that we arrived back at the spot where I had seen the man. When the lifeguard looked through his binoculars He saidhe didn't see a thing. I was pretty embarrased. The next day I bought a newspaper. There was an article about dolphins swimming near the shore. As soon as I read the article I realized that i had seen a dolphin in the water - not a man!. After that I never went anywhere without my glasses again.

Halloween !


Halloween ...

The true meaning of halloween are traced back to the Celts. Around 2000 years ago, the Celts celebrated a holiday the last day of October. They thought that in October 31, undeads, spirits, and demons came to the earth to visit the homes in which they lived.

This was scary for the Celts and they used to went out of their homes and staid together out of their homes all over a field. They made a kind of torch to scare all the evil spirits roaning around in the night.

The celts lived in the lands that now are Ireland, the tradition of halloween came to America in the 1840's when the potato famine attacked Ireland and Brittish Island, those Irish inhabitants came with their traditions and habits.

Scholar desertion

The scholar desertion is a big and difficult problem that have to be stopped. In Mexico it is a problem that don't distinguish between social classes. And its causes are complex.

The school dropout is a phenomenon that occurs when a person during school years abandon his/her studies definitely for spending his time doing another activity. The Young people who drop out of school are unlikely to have the minimum skills necessary to take part in today's increasingly complex working society.

The migration is another big problem for contributing this growing trend, it is because too many families whose depends totally by the wage of only one person, they need to move from one location to another in order to search for a stable work.

Ironically other cause are the school as well, and it is because of the close and strict discipline of the teachers, by grading with failing notes to their pupils, and not preparing adequately their materials for giving a class, causing boredom.

As we can see, the school dropout is a very complex and important problem since one way or another stops the development of the society.

Supporting statements

As a rule, most teenagers in my country use to smoke during the highschool. It is a growing trend that may be stopped. There are many places in which smoking should be avoided and also there are many cases of cancer. And as all of you may know smoking is cause of cancer.
,
In general, people from the city don't have enough time for staying with their families. They usually have to work all week long and on weekends they usually prefer to rest or to sleep as much as possible.

If young couples in my country want to get married, they have to talk with their families, and ask for permission to give that big step in their lives, they have to ask for their parents consent.

Not inspired :/

Im not that inspired at this moment, i'm a little bit sad, because my computer broke down. I had it for 5 years and i really had special care with it,because was a gift from my grandparents, and one of them died a few months after they gave me the computer.

I remember with so much happiness those moments in which I tried to teach my grandfather how to use the computer. He always said " Chango viejo ya no aprende a echar maromas" and I would never forget that phrase, he always had a special care about me.

Because when I was a kid, i got sick of my sight and I used to have restrictions about not to play in the sun, to use sunglasses, not to strain my eyes trying to read when i wasn't able to. But despite the fact of having to do those instructions, during schoolweek i couldn't wait for the moment of going to my grandparent's house.

When it was friday i was really excited by thinking that it was only matter of time of being there with my dearly beloved grandfhater. Almost all my relatives ,who knew my grandfather, say that I am like him (phisically).

Wherever you are my grandfather, I hope to be your biggest reason to be proud of. I love you and I will never forget you, You will always be part of my conscience.
