modern buildings vs traditional buildings

More and more change <em>is occuring in</em> the character and appearance of the cities and towns. Some people think that we should build all new buildings in the traditional style to protect cultural identities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


The increasing numbers of modern buildings make cities and towns more different than before, just like their appearance and character. Some people consider that we should build all the buildings with traditional style in the future in order to protect our culture. However, in my opinion, I do not agree with the argument mentioned above.
Actually, oOn the one hand, as for the technique, not all the types of buildings can be suitable to be build built with traditional style. For example, you must understand the structure of some Chinese traditional buildings, just like the Forbidden City which use used wood as their the major materials. (Chinese Traditional buildings did not themselves use wood to building themselves - the builders/ architechts/designers did.  It would be best to rewrite this sentence to avoid the anthropomorphism). Therefore, we can not use those materials to build skyscraper(s) or some huge stadiums.
On the other hand, to protect cultural identities does we do not need to build buildings with traditional style totally. In my opinion, with the development of society, the culture must be needed need to develop too. Hence, we can combine the element of traditional buildings with modern technology. And there are so many examples to prove this viewpoint, just like the Jin Mao tower which is one of the highest buildings in Shanghai. I should say that the architect designed that building with an element of Chinese traditional building named pagoda, and he use modern materials and high technology to express the appearance of pagoda. Indeed, that was incredible beautiful.
In conclusion, we do not need to build all the buildings with old fashion, on the contrary, we can use new materials and high technology to deduce the traditional culture. I think that would be wonderful.

Receiving money witout to worked in the USA

In the US, when you are fired (laid off from your job) you can receive money from the state until you find a new job. You only have to go to a state unemployment agency. There, they'll give you a form, an application, that you need to fill out to require attain the benefit, or you may call them, and they'll send you an application at your address.

First, if you worked part-time job or are self-employed, you aren't eligible. Only if you worked on a full-time position, will you should qualify. The amount of money you'll get depends on the value calculated based on your quarterly earnings. The quarterly earnings mean is equivalent to the last three months salaries.

When you'll fill out the application, you have to affirm that you're able to work, and you're actively seeking employment.

Beautiful country.

Last month I was in Norway. I was visiting my mom's friends. A wonderful country, people are very cheerful and smiling, a beautiful nature (Does this mean the nature...i.e. plants and land...was beautiful? <em>, mirroring the beautiful landscape of Norway,</em> or that the "nature" of the people was beautiful?  If so, you should try saying <em>mirroring their beautiful personalities</em>) . Looking at the landscape of Norway, you are want to believe in something mystical and fabulous ... It seems that the legends of the Trolls <em>are </em>really true. <em>This is an </em>unusual feeling: a child-like curiosity and desire to adventure. I advise recommend that you visit this country!:)

P.S. The photos show both the spring and autumn in Norway.

First Entry. Me learning languages.

Hi! This is my first entry.

My name is Adriana.I'm learning english and korean, but my Korean is too basic to write an entry.

I'm excited right now because I'm going to travel to South Korea next week. I wish I could speak more Korean. I've been learning some useful phrases and also studying vocabulary.

By the way, I'm learning english because I would like to study in Canada or England and I because I like the language. I also want to travel around the world so speaking english is important for me because I want to travel through schoolarships or exchange programs and they always ask a high level in English.

Tales of people who doesn't worth it (I don't understand your intended meaning): The robber

I will point my gun against at the cashier. Then I am going to yell: “Put all the money in my bag. Right now! And won’t don't call the police or I’m going to shot you.” The cashier is going to be frightened and is going to obey my order. It is easy to rob a bank. The best of all part is that all that I need is a toy gun.

Today

Today was a funny day. My friends came to my house and we watched Teen Wolf. They are twins and they are very cool. My father gets sick and I guess his sickness is affecting me. I can't stop sneeze sneezing and i'm with I have a cold. My class starts on Monday, and this makes me feel worst worse. I have to read a book called: ''Capitães de areia'' for Monday and i don't I haven't started yet. i'm worry I'm worried about that, because my mom doesn't hasn't bought the book.

Teen Wolf and I are capitalized because they are a proper noun. 

No comma is neccessary after the conjunction "and" in the second sentence.
