Does crime often worry you?
BEING CAREFUL
I spent four days in Perú. Many locals told me to be extra careful with my personal things because there were lots of thieves there. Of course, every time I went out of the hotel, I tried to carry with me just what I needed. I mean, it was always almost the same. My phone, my wallet and the keys of the hotel. I didn't use a bag because if someone wanted to steal from you, that would be an easier way to do that. The person just takes your bag and that's all. So, I decided to keep my stuff in my pockets.
However, one day my sister and I attended a very famous parade and someone had tried to steal my wallet.There were so many people there, so at first, I didn't realize that someone was taking my wallet from my pocket.. Fortunately, a kind woman who was standing beside me, warned me about the thief. I started to scream and people stared at me because well, for them, I was screaming for no reason. When I could finally react, I told them that someone had stolen my wallet and I asked them if they could catch him.
I remember that I didn't even have money in my wallet but there, I had all my credit cards.
In the end, people alerted the police. They sent him to prison and they gave my wallet back to me. It wasn't a nice experience but it could have been worse.
AN ASTUTE WOMAN
On saturday, I was bored so I decided to turn the tv on. As soon as I turned it on, I saw a reporter that was telling the audience that a 79-year-old woman had been sent to prison for drug dealing.
I was about to look for a film but I decided to continue watching the news because I thought it was quite interesting the fact that an old woman could did that.
The reporter had intervied the woman and she said she had been doing that for about ten years. She also said that it was very easy for her to do that because she lived alone and her grandson helped her. She told the reporter that at first, she was afraid to be a dealer but when she started to become rich, she didn't worry about that anymore.
Anyway, I was confused about the situation. For one hand, what she did was wrong so she deserved to be in prison, but for the other hand, she was way too old. she could die there, and that would be very sad. But, who knows? Maybe she will be free in a couple of weeks.0 votedNovember 15, 20170Writing part 1. Essay. Healthy food

As the economy is growing fast nowadays, people have better standards of living and can afford luxuries such as the appreciation of Art. surplus money to spend on spiritual enjoyment. Therefore, a growing number of investments on art were made by the government. Since art industry is not requisite to the whole society seemingly, art is abstract and may not commonly be seen as a key contributor and driver of the economy, backlash on the investment in the art industry has been receiving a lot of attention. They argue that about sufficient art investment become an eye-catching topic gradually, some people insist that public services and facilities are more worthy of investments. to be invested.
However, I beg to differ. I feel that good investment in art will lead individual aesthetics and even morality to higher level, which will make our society more harmonious. Besides, The art market is also capable of attracting will attract a lot of related experts and investors, and will be well stimulate the economy to grow faster. In the long term, the art industry can be one important engine to the country's economic development as this market has combined effect.As for the drawback on the art investments, it could have possibly stemmed from the worries of improper investments on art that will result in considerable financial deficit and the 'engine' will convert to 'burden' finally. Hence, the people think that endorse that it is better to invest on other fields such as public service and facilities.

In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centers or malls to do their shopping.
Is this a positive or a negative development?
------------------------------------------
It is true that nowadays people do most of their shopping in the large malls and as a result, local strips are disappearing. In my view, this is a desirable development for several reasons.I would rewrite it as: Indeed, the trend of shopping is moving towards a preference for larger shopping centers. I think that it is a positive development for the following reasons.
Firstly, the reasons why customers in the recent years prefer large shopping malls instead of the small local shops are countless. I believe that the most obvious attraction of a large shopping mall is the convenience of finding all their needs under one roof and the time and money that the customer may save as a result. Furthermore, most shopping centers not only do offer hundreds of different brands, but they also act as social hubs in many areas. For instance, services like movie theatres, restaurants, and even gyms are available in shopping centers that encourage families to spend the weekends in malls. Bigger shops also From a financial perspective, huge shops often offer exclusive discounts and membership cards, allowing customers to save money by being a regular customer of these places.
Secondly, In my opinion, there are two main factors that make shopping from local shops an unsatisfying experience. Firstly, more often than not, local shops are located in crowded streets that makes finding a parking spot almost impossible for the customers. Moreover, Secondly, the price of goods offered in local shops is relatively higher than those that of those are offered in shopping malls. Local stores often have fewer competitors in the area, whereas in a large shopping centers have several stores that may price differently for sell similar products. Hence, and consequently, people can find the best deals available for a product they need.
In conclusion, for the convenience, savings and experience that the customer can get, it is understandable that people are choosing to shop at larger malls instead. from my perspective, the current trend toward shopping from mega malls instead of small local markets should be seen as a progress for the above-mentioned reasons.Good points, although I would also think about how this is affecting the smaller stores. If all of these small stores close down, people will have to drive out a few miles just to get to a mall, as compared to having a small grocer just 5 minutes away. Also, does this also mean that these mega companies will dominate the industry and these smaller self run stores will disappear and these people's livelihood will be taken away? Is it necessarily a good thing for the market to be dominated by big players only?

I have been practicing reading out loud all summer reading out loud and I think I am coming closer to sounding native. Let me know what you think of know how you like the pronunciation, intonation, melody, etc.(Note: The sentence is structured right but in speech, there is no melody. Melody is used more in music or songs. Also, on your speech, the assessment is not too much about a person's preference but an objective assessment of how well you are speaking)
The chapter does not contain any major spoilers and is pretty much self-explanatory. Detective Bosch comes early into his office and finds an email from the murder victim's brother. It changes his perspective of the case, but he can't reach him on the phone. He also follows up on a lead that from a mysterious caller who used a fake name , 10 years after the murder. Someone anonymous called in, who turns out to be a caller with a fake name. (Note: this sentence is grammatically correct, except the use of "who" on a person instead of "which". However, this sentence does not make sense because "anonymous" means without a name which contradicts "a caller with a fake name". I have joined up the previous sentence to include this point)Nevertheless, Bosch narrows down the caller's real name because the call originated from a tractor dealership where only a few persons that day had contact with the customer whose name was misused as fake ID. Despite of his tight schedule to solve the case, On a tight schedule, Bosch also has to squeeze in a recertification training.
