- Cuento del muchacho Here´s my first notebook entry. Sorry it´s so dark, but I just read El Alquimista and this incorporates some of the vocab and themes I learned in that book. Mientras atravesando el desierto, el muchacho llegó a una lugar pedregoso con cadáveres esparcidos entre las dunas. Fueron apilados como un montón de ropa sucia. La escena fue aterrado. Había una gran batalla en que muchos se perdieron sus vidas • pensó el muchacho. Balanceado en el único árbol en el fondo de la duna fue un hombre, ahorcado. El viento huele a la guerra y el muerto. El muchacho subió su caballo, tomó las riendas y empezó a cabalgar. Él quería dejar esto maldito lugar en el pasado. Fue como una de los cuentos de las hadas como su hermano había contado cuando él era niño. Su hermano era morboso en aquellos días. El muchacho cabalgó con su halcón por el hombro. Y cuando él tiene hambre, él cazaría y traer el alimento para los dos. El muchacho no tiene nada do lujo, tan solo una alforja, un caballo, y unos jarritos para la comida. Tiene que viajar para sobrevivir. Todos las cosas en su vida habían sidas quebrantados antes de que él salió. Fue un momento trágico para él, perdir todo, y todo perdido. Despues de unos minutos, el halcón regresó con una naja. Ya había comido el rabo y fue sangriento, pero al muchacho me le importa. Tiene un hambre profundo y fuerte. Despues de cabalgando hasta que atardeciera, el muchacho empezó a apesadumbrar. Echó de menos su familia y amigos. Y ahora, fue un vagabundo, siempre destinado a errar. El bienestar, el suyo, fue herido y muriendo. Su mente fue corrompida por los malos pensamientos, y empezó a llenar con la rabia. Él reanudó a comer su naja sangrienta, y llorar. Gritó para su mamá, pero nadie vino.June 15, 201410
Should the governmet pay for the elderly.?
The elderly are an important part of the society. They have spent their whole lives trying to make our lives better. Their effort is present in every aspect of the present. No long time ago, they were adults, working as hard as we do right now, contributing to the economic development and moreover, being an active part in their families.
Despite this, when they get old, most of them end up living in a home with other old people which has nurses taking care of them. Generally, this occurs because everybody in the family is working, studying or living far away, so they have to move there to avoid being alone in their homes. Sadly, since not all of these "nursing homes" are supported by the government, the families have to spend a lot of money to get these services. If they are not able to afford end of life care, sometimes they must stay at home alone which could lead them to depression, or worse, harm.
For these reason, the government should create a system to assist the families that do not have the money to pay for nursing homes. Research should be done to better understad the fiscal situation of the family, and set the correct amount of money such that they receive help if necessary.
Furthermore, these kind of centers should be controlled by the government. The government should guarantee the food, care, medicines, nurses and everything necesssary to give them the best quality of life quality possible. As it is well know, most countries do no pay any attention to this issue, it can be ignored for other kinds of problems. Because of this widespread ignorance and avoidance, the families should make a plan, strategy or campaign to formally ask to the government to assist them.
As a conclution, it is important to keep in mind that sooner or later we are going be the elderly, so we should do our best to guaranteed that all of us spend the last years of our lives in a comfortable, peaceful and agreeable place.0 votedJune 12, 20140My holiday...
My holiday:
Every holiday is different for me. I like to have different activities. For example, yesterday´s weather was good, and I stopped to think, "Today is very nice. It´s the start of the summer, why don't I prepare a garden in my balcony? Yes, of course... so, first of all, I need to buy the materials to prepare a garden (plants, dirt and flower pots). So I went shopping after arriving home(could reword for clarity)... After 4 hours finally I finish my activities. My girlfriend arrived and was surprised by my garden. Who would have thought!
This is my example... one beautiful garden loved by a beautiful women(I was not sure what you meant here so I made a guess;) )... Regards,Overall, Good Job! I generally knew what you were saying. Just watch for those hard-to-spell words like "beautiful", and some other grammar issues.
0 votedJune 8, 20140- A mí me gusta usar las programas como Anki, cuales usan repetición del espacio. La idea es que para recordar efectivamente y también en el futuro lejano, hay que recordar en momentos críticos despues de la primera vez que se aprenda la palabra o información o cualquier sea que se quiere recordar. Es una programa muy util, pues yo la uso con frecuencia. La manera de encontrar palabras que se necesita aprender es sencillamente leer libros. También los libros proporcionan el contexto del vocabulario, y las imágenes en la mente crean vínculos para recordar facilmente. Si tú aprendes español, Yo recomiendo El alquimista, que es facil entender y también lleno de palabras extrañas. Espero que este te ayuda! Buena suerte!0 votedJune 7, 20140

Dear Counselor:
I am writting this letter as a complaint about the situation that is happening with my roomate. I have been sharing my room with a student from xxxx since one last month. At first, everything was allright alright, but from during the last three weeks it changed.
When he started to be as my roomate, I thougt thought it was going to be fine, but suddenly he turned into such a mean person(sounds unnatural...consider this instead...the situation deteriorated). He is always making a mess in the room, listening music out very loudly and even one time he even smoked inside the room. I really made my best effort to fix the situation and find a way to share the room in a paceful peaceful way, but he is not cooperating. By this time Right now the situation is out of control and everyday that passes by it is jus just getting gets worse, so I decided to write this letter in order to solve it.
Moreover, since I told him to make some "convenience rules house rules" for the benefits of both, and he is just doing just the opposite. I think he does not want to study here, and it seems to be that he has been pushed for by his parents to study at this College, and maybe he is not to blame fot for this.
For these reasons, I would like to ask to you for an a different roommate arrangement. that would work this situation out. If it is at all possible, I would like to be moved to another room. I do not have problems with share sharing it with another person but if you are able to find me a single room it that would be perfect.
Thankful for your attention and waiting for your answer,

Twenty yeas years ago, the typical family was widelarge. Families had many children and they had a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins, but children often din't did not know their granparents because people died very young.
However, today the family structure is changing. shape.
People usually live longer, thus so children will know their great-gandpaents, even their great-geat-grandparents.
Very few children don't have brothers o or sisters and it is commont common to be an only child. for For that reason, future generations will not have cousins.
Today, parents are older than they were several years ago because many women go to univesity and after they have to find a job so they have their children after 35.(Doesn´t flow very well, maybe reword)Because it is commonplace for many women to attend university, they are having children later in life. Women in the job market spend more time focused on their careers, and less time at home with children. Because of this, the average age of parents has increased over time.
More couples divorce and children spend some time with their mother and after with their father separately. Also, parents get re-maried, so many children have a stepmother or stepfather and half-bothers or half-sisters.
On the other hand, many families have lost their home for due to the crisis, so they have had to move to grandparents' home. This familial upheaval causes stress in and children are very strefull for that problem. Also many parents have lost their job jobs so their children don't do not(avoid contractions in writing) have enought enough food to survive and they have to eat from ONG.
Also it is posible possible that, the first time in my country, young people will have a lower standar standard of living than their parents have.
In conclusion, I think that family families are changing very fast, but not every changes change are is not good.0 votedJune 7, 20140
