Section 3, Task 3

 

It was 25th of August, 3 days before the birthday of my best friend. All of us were planning what to do to celebrate his birthday. Then someone proposed a surprise party.
We thought that it was the best thing, because everyone likes good surprises and because it would be great.
Planning the party wasn't easy. We had to tell everyone, and we had to be very careful, otherwise my friend could hear about this. Also, we had to buy all materials. Food, materials, decorations, etc.
When the party came, I went to my house with my friend, while the others were preparing last details of the party. The sent me a message "PP" that meant everything was ready. I went with my friend, and when he entered and heard the "SURPRISE!!!!" he couldn't even believe it! He was so happy and amazed about the party that he almost fainted! And that is how it was made the best surprise party to a friend.

Task 5, Section 1

Dear Josh,

Thanks for informing me about your recent idea of being a TV presenter. I think it is a very good idea.

It will be very important to become a TV presenter to be very funny, positive and active. People want a good presenter but if you don't have that characteristics, you will fail.

You will find some difficulties, for example, the journalists. They will always try to let you down. You have to be emotionally strong. I think that if you use this advice, you will be very successful as a TV presenter, and maybe I will see you in TV shows many times.

I hope you can be a good presenter.

Section 2, Task 2

The new leisure centre that you opened last week isn't accepted here in the area. Everyone thought that this could be a great idea but now everyone hates it.

The first problem of it, is that it's appearance is boring. The main thing that can make people to go to that leisure centre is the appearance. If you see this leisure centre from the outside your will know that it will be boring. Another thing is that when you enter, there is nothing to do! There's only 1 ride that is aceptable, Because the others are for 5 year-old kids. I think that the reason why this is boring is because it has only three rides! There is a solution, make new rides with a good design. If you make these new things people will be attracted and all of them will go.

 

Sincerely,

Juan C. Manriquez

Task 3, Section 1 (Fixed Version)

Task 5, Section 2

Sport Evets - Unaceptable Things

 One of the things that makes people go mad when watching sports is the bad application of the rules, this doesn't happen usually, but when it does, affect everyones mood.

Last day I was watching a Rugby match and I noticed that the player that made the last Try was touching the border line, I fist tought that the second referee will notice about it but after a while of waiting nothing happened.
I think the organizers need to have more ways to know if the player is respecting the rules or not, here are some suggestions to make the match more fair for every team:

• Cameras that record many angles of the field, like border lines, ingoal, etc.
• Referees with a better capacitation to judge the matchs better
• More extrict rules that penalizes the players that don't respect the rules

I hope you take these ideas and apply them because we all want to see a match that is fair to both of the teams.

Sincerely,
Juan C. Manriquez

Common Mistakes

Now I will show you a list of my common mistakes.

1) This, These

"These" is used for plural, and "This" is used for singular.
Example:
I could use 'these' in "These exercises are easy" and 'this' in " This exercise is easy"

Exercises (This-These)

 

2) Whit, With

This one is the mistake I use commit the most,

We use "With" to link two words, and "whit" when we are talking about a pinch, dash, shred, ounce, trace.
Example: Yesterday I went to the beach with my family"

3) Don't, Doesn't
Incorect way: He don´t...     I doesn't...
We use "Don't" when we talk about "I", "You", "We", "They".
Example: I/You/We/They Don't need this.
We use "Doesn't" when we talk about "He", "She", "It".
Example: He/She/It Doesn't need this.
Exercises.

  Eat Healthy and Save your Life!
Some Tips To Have A Healthy Life:

Guidelines of Healthy Eating:
Most school people, think that is a moral thing eat healthy, but is a fact that "The Departments of Healthy and Comunity Services and Education" do guidelines to eat equally and healthy.

The guidelines are based on the nutrition piramid, that usually told us not to eat the bad things that people eat. To do what the pyramid says, you have to eat at diferents times of the day, and the most important is your breakfast, and also the snack, were a lot of the people eat junk food.

The snack, is a usual lunch at people, especially for the children, that became fat and obese. But is not only his fault, but the parents, who gives the children the food, ignoring that in the future, this can be danger for their children. Vegetables and fruit, especially the last, is a good snack, that people can eat, cause this things have a lot of key nutrients like fibre, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, iron, B vitamins and magnesium. Also the doctors, recommend eat this things at least one time at the day.

But fruit and vegetables aren't the only type of food that is recommended. Also it is recommended to eat:

1. Grain Products: That have iron, B vitamins, and magnesium - Recommended to eat at least one time-

2. Milk and Alternatives: That include vitamin A, D, protein, zine, magnesium, riboflavin, and vitamin B12. But drink it 1 or 2 times each day

3. Meat and Alternatives: That content a lot of protein, and also iron, vitamin A, vitamin B and zine. It can taste good, but eat it just what you need, or mix it with a salad.

These things are the most recommended, but ear it with a limit, cause all things in excess are bad. Mix things and have a balanced diet, make sure that you still ear all this things at least one time in the week.

Try to promote this in your children's schools, for example, with offer fruits cups in the school canteen, cafeteria and vending machines, sold dried fruits in kiosks. Finally is your decide , take the initiative, and save your life, and the life of the others of diseases. But be careful, before you buy food, take a look to the nutrition labels, and prevent allergies...

Take the right choose, eat healthy.

Healthy Food Lifestyle (200 words)

Today I'm going to talk about a very mentioned topic this days, Healthy Lifestyle. This is talked very oftenly this days because of the increase of the childhood obesity, there are many programns that promote the consume of healthy food and to have a sport life, an option to apply this ideas is to teach the childs from very young to choose alternative foods like vegetables and fruits. There are many options at the schools, for example nuts, fresh fruits, portions of fruits (without sugar), etc. Have an active sports life is also important in a healthy lifestyle, because isn't very useful if you are thin and you don't have strenght, an active life is very useful, because it gaves you a healthy hearth and improves your physical condition. But the Healthy Lifestyle is not based only on eat vegetables and fruits like many people think, also it's about eating proteins (meat), calories (bread, cereals, weath, etc), dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc), and sometimes fats (butter, candies, chocolate, etc), is very important to have an equilibrium between all the mentioned types of food, proteins, vitamins and dairy products more than fats, because this three are the most useful products for your body.
