Diary Entry

04/11/14

  Dear diary,
                    I disagree about the use of steroid in athletes, because they abuse it. It's not fair, because there are athletes with a lot of training that don't use steroids. The steroids make athletes better, like the cyclist Lance Armstrong he wone many tour the france consecutively, but a few years ago it was discovered, he used steroids. I think that all athletes have to compete in a natural way. If I have the chance to win it all using steroids, I would prefer to not do it. I prefer to win something with my own merits and the other thing is that all of these subtances are dangerous. I heard that the steroids shrink your penis, and if younuse this subtance every day, It could be dangerouse. Watch the movies of Arnold Schwarzenegger and pay atention to his body, and comper it to how it is now. In conclusion I disagree with steroids and any subtance, to win things you have to make an effort.

Drinking

  Many adolescents hide things and one of those things is alcohol. At that age it's very common they drink, for curiousity, they want to feel older, etc.

Why do they drink?

  They are curious, they believe that it will make them feel good, they may look at alcohol as a way to reduce stress, they want to feel older. I think that an other reason why they drink is that they see their parents, old brothers, famous people drinking.

  They don't know what they are doing , the alcohol damages the brain and they do things that they will regret.

  However this is something that has happened in all the world for many years.

  At the age of 15-16 the liver is not developed and the liver is damaged. To sell alcohol to under aged people is illegal so you will ask to your self, where do they take the alcohol from? Well, they take the alcohol from their own houses.

  "According to a 2006 Australian study, people who drink are four times more likely than non-drinkers to suffer physical injuries such as falls. And binge drinkers are at an even greater risk of injury" (Steven Dowshen).

  There are different types of drinks, and the most common among adolescents is the beer. It brings negative consequences, like overweight, high blood pressure, etc. Just one regular beer contains 150 calories, each adolescent drinks five or four beers a night.

  Alcohol could bring problems to school "binge drinkers have a harder time in school and they're more likely to drop out" (Steven Dowshen) and disrupts sleep putterns, can make it harder to stay awake and concentrate during the day.

  In conclusion this hase a solution and you have to get help as soon as possible, talk to someone close to you and go to a doctor.

Obesity

Obesity is a big problem in the world and is increasing. The food is getting worse, food that is cheap like pizza, hamburgers, etc. I think that the reason why the people buy this food is because they are poor. In the USA the biggest problems of obesity is in poor cities. 

This problem started to develop in the 20th century, when the fast food started. One hamburger of Mcdonalds has all the calories you need for one day. Today mothers didn't like to cook so they buy fast food (pizza, hamburgers, nuggets, etc) to their children.

In my opinion, the solution is teaching the people as in Chile with the campaing "Elige Vivir Sano", the ex first lady of chile create this campaign to reduce the obecity in chile, they teach to the children what food is healthy, all countries should do the same thing to reduce the obecity.

 RATIONALE

Word count: 159


     I wrote a Blog entry about the advantages of a TCK. It was written with a serious and clear tone and hoping to address uncultured people who think being a TCK is a bad way to live. In my blog entry I tried to use a semi formal language in 1st person to give my opinion.

  I tried as well to use a simple level of vocabulary with word choices like "foreign countries", "Globalized", "religions", etc. Using these elements I feel I reached my purpose of changing the mind of the people who think that being a TCK is a bad way to live and it has negative consequences.

  This task addresses the core topic of social relationship and specially addresses the topic of celebration, social and religious events. I chose a Blog entry to do this because I felt that in this way I could give my opinion and all the good aspects of a TCK that who know.

diary entry

    I have lived in many countries, because my dad works in an oil company. The first place I lived was Mexico, I don't remember because I was 3 years old. Then Brazil, Venezuela, Panama, again mexico and where I am living now, Dubai. It's a good place,good cars, big towers, nice beaches, water parks and very hot ones. I have friends of many places, England, Sweden, Scotland, Lebanon, etc. Every time when the ramadan starts my family and I travel to a country, for example on ramadan you can't eat or drink in the streets and Its very hot in that time. The things I don't like to live in a foreign country is that every time I change of country I miss my friends and I am far from my chilean family ( cousins, grandfather, uncle, etc), but when I will leave the school I will return to Chile to tom to the university. Now I want to return to my country.

Freedom
    
      Hello, it’s an honor to be with all these fighters. Today I am going to speak about us and our future.
     
      First of all, I want to talk about my actions, I want to apologize if someone thinks that I did wrong escaping from jail, but I know that I had to, If I didn’t do that, maybe you would still using the headphone and weights. I started dancing with the ballerinas to show on what we transformed into. We don’t have freedom! I am not going to do what they want us to do, I will go to do what I want to do. I am a free person. And you?
   
      I think that I deserve to be the emperor. Why? Because I will make you free. I am not going to be like the “general”. I am not going to use the headphones or weights, you will be like you want to be, because if you are all equals, the country will not progress, we are losing intelligent minds and good athletes. I am an intelligent person and I can change the country for good.

  
      I hope you understand my actions and I am going to be a good emperor. Lets to a free and better country together!

Mr.
CNN News editor
Atlanta, GA
USA

Dear sir or madam,
                     We all know the mystery of the airplane that was lost in Malaysia. I think that this is a tragic that no one deserves, as everyone deserves to know the truth. I think that this is the worst thing a family can experience, because the family that lost a son, brother, father, etc. They don’t know if they are going to find the body or what riley happened with the airplane.           
                On a report that you did a few days ago the reporter Nic Robertson said that the responsible of the "criminal act" was the pilot or someone else aboard, what He is saying it’s not the truth, no one knows who was the responsible. You are doing bias, you are saying things that are not the truth and you want that the people believe thing that you want. You said the “investigators”, who are the investigators, with what evidence the “investigators” blame people.
               I recommend you to say the things how riley are, if not you are going to have problems. You are blaming passengers who what riley are the victims. I think that it’s disrespect for his families. So please don’t do more bias!

Sincerely

Gerald Fox
