AN ESSAY

MODERN LIFESTYLE CAN SERIOUSLY ENDANGER OUR HEALTH

   Staying healthy is becoming harder and harder. Now a days, most jobs do not require much effort as they spend 8 or 15 hours sitting in front of a computer. Furthermore, fast food is unhealthy because it is based on fasts, meats, fried, etc.

   In the first place, jobs that are developed in businesses do not need physical activitie because the workers do not have much time to do exercise, always they think in their work, office, earn money and have a good social life. Apart from this they eat fast food. So, they do not have a healthy diet, they do not eat vegetables or fruits.

   In spite of that, we have a sedentary life, especially children they spend a lot of time watching television or playing computer games, instead of do some sports. In addition, people prefer eating a hamburguer or drinking coke, which is not healthy than a salad or water.

   To sum up, we must became aware of our health, we should eat more healthy and do more exercise.

A REPORT

OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to discuss about the money we have received from the government to the neighbourhood should be spend it in a square or on a school and to make a recommendation.

The neighbourhood

The place where we live has paved streets, good ilumination and it is a safe place, but we have not a place where children, youth, adults and old people can go out for take some fresh air and relax. We need a square with playgrounds, benches and a lot of trees and flowers.

The school

In our neighborhood we have only one school and it is too small. Children and teens can not stay in this school, they are too much.

Recommendation 

I recommend spending the money on square because this would have a benefical for the health of all, we need some fresh air.

STORY

MEETING SOMEONE NEW WHO BECAME A SPECIAL FRIEND.

   I will always remember that day as one of the happiest days of my life. It had happened, in the first days of english classes in Franklin Institute. I was very nervous because I did not know anyone.

   Few days ago, I did not talk with anybody, I tried to make some friends. I did not feel very comfortable with that group, and I was not sure to find somebody who share my same thoughts. Then, came that special person, of the first time when we started talking, we became best friends.

   In a break, I saw a girl and I had noticed that she seemed to be a very quiet and shy. I thought it was quite similar to my, but when I talked to her, I felt like I was talking to a friend who knew for years. I was very happy to met my best friend Maribel. Since that day, we have spent much time together. She is like my sister. That one meeting made it a day I will ever forget.

DREAMS OF FAME

   Many people dream of being famous because thay have lots of benefits, for example, everyone knows you and wants to be with you. Furthermore, famous people have free access in a chic places.

   Although being famous is wonderful, it has its disadvantages, for example, famous people do not have privacy because the press always is following and trying to interview them and take pictures. What is more, sometimes there are people who invent false stories about celebrities. However, they can have everything they want.

   Nevertheless, be a famous and successful person has its advantages. They appear in the best TV shows and have a lot of fans. In addition to this, being famous and little known better because they have a more peaceful life and they can go out without promblems.

Hi Caroline!

Of course! I really like it! I think that is a great and interesting summer camp in Australia! So I want to go, but I need to know the date of this camp, please tell me.

I’d like to study Natural Sciences, because in this subject we study about animals, their habitat, feeding, etc. I want to know more things about that, so I decided to choses this subject, furthermore I think this is going to be very useful.

Well, now I want to know how much it costs, because I have to save money although my mum and dad will help me a little. Finally, I prefer The Barrier Reef, I think that it is more interesting and exciting than the Australian desert.

Let me know soon

Love,

Carolina.

restaurant- La Cabaña

LA CABAÑA

     La Cabaña is an old traditional restaurant in Puerto Madero (Buenos Aires) and it’s open for lunch and dinner every day. I like so much this restaurant.

  

     The food is very well cooked. There are a lot of tasty dishes to choose from, “Edward VII” mignan steak with noisette potatoes, grilled sirloin strip steak with stuffed potatoes and the typical grill condiments are Criolla and Chimichurri sauces. Don’t miss the chance to try a glass of wine it’s a nice company with your food. For dessert, have toffee pie with dried fruit and chocolate or home-made flan – it’s delicious!

     A meal for two people costs about  $220. The service is excellent, with very helpful and friendly waiters. The restaurant is open from midday till one in the morning.

     La Cabaña is a great restaurant for any occasion, but it is very busy, so don’t forget to book a table first. 

a story

It was a trip I’ll never forget!

     It was a trip I’ll never forget. We were feeling very excited as we went to the first competition in skate. With ten noisy teenagers, seven little children and six happy mothers, it was very crowded. The teenagers had sung all the way. Our trip lasted four long hours, until at we finally arrived at Tucuman.

     We were tired, but we were happy because we had been training very hard for three months. We wanted to win.

     Before arriving we had a little problem with the bus in which we travel, the windows couldn’t open and it was very hot, furthermore the air conditioning didn´t work. When we arrived to the hotel the bus’ door didn´t open. After forty minutes finally opened the door, but it was late, as skate competition had already begun and some girls couldn’t competition, one of those girls was me. I was very annoyed and depressed. All in all, it was a very memorable trip. 

MY HOBBY

SKATING

     I first got interested in skating one summer, when I was 7 years old, because my parents gave me rollers. I was starting in the club “SALTA PATIN” with my brother Pablo and my best friend Fabiola. I wanted to try but first it was very difficult and I broke my hand.

     I found I really liked it. My first skates were with strips. Then, my mother gave me skate with boots and a year later I received an enormous box and inside was my new skates.

     When I was 10 years old, I went to my first competition in Tucuman, and then I travelled from different places for example, Santiago del Estero, Cordoba and Catamarca, I love it. In 2007, I had to stop skating because I didn’t have time. I didn´t want to stop as I liked to participating in year-end shows. I enjoyed doing glitzy costumes. So, this year I started again.

     I’d recommend it as a hobby because for me the speeds, turns and jumps are very exciting.

e-mail

Hi Anne,

   Thanks for your email. It’s very exciting to hear you’re coming to Argentina. Personally, I think the best time to come is in summer, because in Argentina has got beaches and a lot of places that you and your friends can visit.

   If you want to meet young people I suggest going to “Alto NOA Shopping” in that place concur lots of people, because it has got a cinema, a supermarket, a casino, etc. Also we can organize a party in my house one weekend.

   In the summer the weather is too hot, but sometime it rains, so you should bring light clothes, swimsuit, flip-flop and sunscreen, the sun is very hot.

   Thanks also for your invitation to join the group, I’d love to do so if I’m free. I’ll be waiting for you to have a good holiday.

Kisses,

Carolina. 

animals

 “KOALA”

     Koalas live in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. They stay in the forest and live in trees. The koala has grey and white hair, round ears, a big nose and small eyes. The koala isn’t tall, their body measure 60 (sixty) centimeters to 85 (eighty five) centimeters, and weighs 4 (four) to 15 (fifteen) kilos.

     Koalas eat Eucalyptus, but the leaves of these trees don’t have energy, so koalas can sleep for twenty hours a day. They have a sedentary life.

     The koala was hunted almost to extinction in the early 20^th century, because as people wanted its fur. Millions of fur was selling in Europe and the United State. In these days koalas are decreasing. The biggest threat to their existence is habit destruction due to agriculture and urbanization.

     Koalas may live from thirteen to eighteen years. At around six years of age, the koala’s chewing teeth begin to wear down and their chewing efficiency decreases, so the animal will die of starvation or nutritional failure.

     The International Union for Conservation of Nature has been protecting these animals.
