Trinity task correction #2 (not finished)

10/10/13

Today has actually been a pretty good day, I found a $5000 bill, and a $2000 bill inside a pocket of a jacket, it was amazing, I was looking for my keys but I found money instead! all I wanted to do was to save it, but as I was going out, I decided that it could help me if I needed it.

Trinity task correction #1

A couple of years ago, many people would say that Anyone graduated from allsop school should need to make the last four years again in another school to be able to learn something, but now, thanks to its new headtecher, Mr. Michael Wilson, things are starting to turn out right

He has changed the hole school's rules, and has gotten just the results he wanted, now, all students have to wear a grey and red jacket or jumper, ties, and grey pants, also black shoes, they all have to wait for thei teacher in lines in front of their classrooms until ther teacher tells them to get in, they send back home students if they are wearing the wrong type of shoes,or if they wear their hair too long or short, or if they are caught using cellphones in class

In my opinion allsop has improved a lot, but, being so strict, can be a double-sharpened weapon

GOT IT AT LAST!

A trip to Istambul

First of all, Istambul is a charming city, only, if you know how to interact with it, as you may know, there is not much thing in Istambul that occidental people may know of, but once you are inside the city, you'll discover a lot of things, specially the mosques, on wich, you cant enter with shoes, and women have to enter with a sourte of bandannaon the head, either way,  what I liked the most, it was "The grand Bazaar" the one that kept my attention, it is the biggest market. One of the traditions in the Bazaar is the haggle, if you don't haggle the price, they get offended! 

How to plan the perfect party

One very important thing in a party is that the music is not only good, but loud, the basses in a song are not heard by anyone who hasn't a trained hearing, but, when loud, it can be felt in the air, sometimes up to the point of getting you hungry , this is a prove that volume is almost as important as the music itself, as the music, the environment on witch the part is made is also very important, all of the light effects are welcome, even more if they are along with the music.

One important thing why some parties fail is because they have too many environmental light, or the music is weight too low, I personally prefer parties that have loud and good music, another thing that helps a lot in the whole matter of parties, is a DJ, because even when some of them (most of them) aren't cheap, they really come along with the people much more than a CD, and it stops being necessary to ask people to bring they own music, which also looks bad.

another one bites the dust

A couple of days ago, I was watching the athleticism Olympics of Russia, and I saw in the 500 plain meters race something that I think is more than unacceptable, because just when Krusten Frjuglagen, a competitor from Proganistan was just going to win the race by passing by Fritz Undermagen from germany, he was hit by his competitor!

Although all of the public present in the stadium saw it, the referee didn't, because he was watching how Yelena Isinbayeba (another russian athlete) stretched, Istrongly believe that this referee should be boiled in his own blood.

section 1, task 5

Dear Jwuljeefoo, 

Is it true you want to become a TV presenter?  I've heard it is pretty difficult isn't it?

I think you would find it really hard all of the acting and reporting thing, because you don't only need to be a very good reporter, but also not to panic in front of a camera,

Either way, I think you'll do it fine because you have a radio interlocutor like voice, and you aren't so bad looking, also you are very funny, so you can add some flavour to the program.

Hope you have good luck.

alcohol concecuences

punta arenas, 06/06/2013

drunk minor crashes and injures 3 people


This was the headline of a newspaper in Punta Arenas, all because the irresponsibility of a young man, that thought that he could just go to a party and get back home by his own, I am sure his friends don't think it was a good decision now.

In the newspaper it says explicitly, "2 of the occupants were ejected through the wind-shield resulting with severe injuries, a third passenger, that was with her seatbelt on, resulted with minimum trauma"
I believe that what I have been saying on my last post was absolutely right, drinking and driving? bad idea, he was 17 years old, as far as I know, the two things that he did were illegal, drinking, and driving, that's when people notices why in Chile we have to forbid what in other countries is perfectly right, driving under 18 years old, with an 18 year old companion, a "responsible"companion, but people has another culture there in the USA, Canada, and other lots of European countries, they have another culture, very different that the one we have here "oh, look at him, he doesn't drink he is a *****" so he drinks, he drives, he crashes, and he and his friends almost die, I think he had a real tough night after that, because, just for a satart, he crashed the car.  

Alcohol use

Do you know what a "drinking coma" is? Do you know how many people die because of it? it s your right yo be informed 

For the first question a "drinking coma" or a "drunk coma" is when you drink too much, or when you just drink more than your liver can handle, the liver transforms alcohol into sugar instantly before it enters the blood, when it does not and a single drop of alcohol gets into your blood system you enter to the coma state, when I say "coma" you could maybe think "well, it is probably just the name, it can't be so serious" but it is, a person can be up to three days in a hospital trying to wake up, and some ones don't wake up. How to prevent it? easy be aware of your teen's decisions, but most important, talk to him/her a solid parent-son relationship is very important, because if you have one you may just don't need it, most of the teenagers start drinking with friends, why? to relax, why do they need to relax, why are they stressed? because they feel no one listens to them, besides other problems that they could have at school of course, at home people need communication, if you don't have it, let me tell you to what are you exposing, about 14% of car crashes have as fatalities young drivers of 15 to 20 years old, of that same cipher, around about 30% of them were drunk, helping to make drinking the major cause of death among people under 21 years old. We are talking about a lot of people, a lot of people that could be saved from: an undesired pregnancy, fights, and several ways of dying, there are no "bad companies" everybody has a different way to express him/herself, and it is OK, but it has to be controlled. There are people that are just too shy, and need to forget about the weights of embarrassment, but as I say, if it gets out of control it needs to be suspended immediately, anyway, there are other forms of expression apart from drinking, because as it is the easiest one, it is also the most risky and the one that leaves less experience and less acculturating one, there are always other forms of expression, like music, art, writing, or even sports can help your son or daughter growing, and to keep them away from alcohol and drugs.
