THE WRONG THIEF (FCE)

Alex and I were walking for to the shopping center the previous (last) Monday when a shop assistant (store clerk) accused him of have stolen in (having stolen from/stealing from) his shop. Then, the police came. All the people was were staring at us because of the fuss.

It was said that when the police took him to the police station, he (here, "he" refers to "the police" becuase "the police" is the subject.  From the story, is seems like it was your friend who accused you, in which case, you would have to say "my friend accused me...)" accused me of the shoplifting and at the beginning, I was a little worried because neither of us had done anything. But, later, I thought he wouldn’t be wasn't capable of doing something like that.

Finally, when the police checked the camera recording (security camera), they watched (saw) that the thief was another person who wore the same jacket, and that Alex and he (I?) denied having said what those people told me said.

No matter what people said about Alex, I knew he was a true friend.

Los Tianguis

The tianguis are markets reaching to take avenues complete (that take up the entire avenue?). These are filled with traders in from the city and the surroundings area, and even come from other municipalities and other provinces. Many people come to buy something specific or just to see look around. In them you can find many things, such as clothes, fruits, vegetables, fish, and other things that you cannot/can't imagine. They also sell appliances, and many types of used electrical appliances of many new types and used. Near where I live, every Sunday, it becomes the largest car lot in the city, called "La Paz". This becomes in the largest car lot in the city. Traders settle here very early (5:00 am) to reach (find) a good place to sell. The amount of people who flock here is such that you end up stuck (crammed) side by side among many people and not be so it is not easy to find a place to park the car.

Life in the future

How will life be like in the future?

This question has a difficult answer ("is difficult to answer" sounds better). I imagine that life in the future will be easier than now.
People won’t have to drive to work. They will go faster than now without vehicles.
Also, people will wear intelligent clothes. These clothes will change to cold or warm when the weather changes the weather.
Children won’t go to school. They will take classes from their homes using the internet.
Houses will be more modern and comfortable.
Food and drink will be very different because crops won’t be like now. In fact, food will be less healthy than now.

Writting poems it's is a great exercise to learn another language

Today in class I was very boring bored. Learning about the history of modern Asia has been complicated, because we have to learn a lot of new information about traditions and ways to understand the life (way of life),also civil wars, and differents interpretations that historians give about the acts  (events) that happened in China, Japan or India.

Today's class was especially confuse (confusing) because a classmate gave to us an exposure (?), which was had a lot of information. Many people was getting falling asleep. While, When I stared to write something in my notebook. suddenly, I was writting in English sad poems (sad poems in English).

Actually, I love to write poems or something and things like that, and I think that it's a great exercise if you want to learn and practice another language. I think it's because of if you want to write a poem you will have to use many vocabulary (many different words) ,and you will have to try to say something like a metaphor, in a way that it becomes understandable in English. That is to say, if you want to say something in a poetic way, you will have to give your best to understand how the logic of the another language's words.

I can't not simply say simply choose any word of in the dictionary to and traslate it to what I want to say from Spanish to English. No always it's not always the same to say:
falling leaves, leaves falling down, leaves drop, leaves come down , leaves fall out, leaves plunge, leaves tumble down

I have to figure out what this these phrases could be mean and ask me if it is what I'm really want to say.

Nuclear energy

Last weekend I read an article about nuclear energy and their “advantages” on power supply. Some European countries such as France, Spain and Hungary have nuclear power plants and support the benefits on the use of this kind of technology.

Alternatively, countries like Germany and Italy have been starting moving have started to move to other clean energy.
The Supporters says nuclear energy provides around 68% of the power needed in Europe, and it can do it safely for many years and is safe, whereas detractors says the radioactive material waste needs thousands of years to stop generating radioactive activity, and accidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl show us the potential destruction for human beings .

One of my professors (He is an nuclear engineer) considers himself to be not pro-nuclear, that is, mean he is not a supporter, but (is) also not a detractor.  I could probably take the same position, because I know how nuclear energy could be dangerous but in the same way ("at the same time" sounds better), I understand that for many countries nuclear energy is the most effective technology to provide a vital need such as electricity.
Finally my conclusion was, the problem is not the technology itself, but that we are the problem depending on the its use that we give to them

(correction please) Crime is rising and the streets are getting more dangerous.

I partly agree because I think that we are (being) manipulated by television. Unfortunately, there are many crimes in our cities, but we know about it because we see it on television. I think that the different channels of television show us the things that they want. Sometimes they don’t show us important things or they lie to us. I also think, that the impact of the recent economic crisis has influenced in  (contributed to) this works better the rise of crimes. For example, people that don’t have money to pay for their houses (?, do you mean rent?) or to buy food, may start to commit crimes such as robbery or mugging. Obviously, I think that the problem is with the government and the law. It If there weren’t corrupt politicians, I think the world would be (more) peaceful and with fewer crimes.

(Correction please) In our lifetime, newspaper will become a thing of the past

Yes, I completely agree with this. The internet has been become more and more popular for in recent years, providing people with a huge source of information. As a result of this, print media, such as newspapers, have experienced a dramatic decline in the number of readers. Some people, however, still believe that they can exist for a long time; others disagree, arguing that newspapers have lost their competitive advantage to sustain their prolonged existence. Personally, I am inclined to agree with the latter view. First of all, to obtain information, using the internet is quicker and more convenient than reading newspapers. Another point is that, from the an economic aspect, buying newspapers appears to be a waste of money when the internet becomes available for everyone. Last, when taking the environment into consideration, people must conceive that the more newspapers are published, the more trees are cut down. This is simply the contributor contributes to the deforestation, which is happening all over the world today. In conclusion, we know about the increasing innovations in media technology and in our modern life.
