New technology in students academic
Thursday April 28
Has technology affected students and their sports performance?

Now a days, the techonology has been an equipment for sports, because it has been growing day by day making a chance in the training, helping the students to make better their physical and movement performance. Not also in sports has been a help, also in academic grades.

Technology these days is everywhere, there's no place were you are disconnected from it, now that the school is using this as a tool to teach better to their students, some of them aren't benefited by these changes, the tools are harder to use and the use of the brain memory isn't practiced at all, making the students addictive to this tool because of the need to an easier way to solve their problems. They are using a tool were with only a few clicks you got the correct answer. By doing this students forget the structure of the assigment, if you ask them to do it without the tool, they won't be able enough to do it or get the correct answer.  But in a certain way, now the technology is something that you must know how to use, if you wanna do something big or to get somewhere you wanna go to, to make everything easier and to not fail in something that you can do right, only clicking a couple of buttons and without stressing yourself because you don't get the correct answer. This is also happening in sports where now, for example in rugny, you get like a robot that moves in all directions and you have to tackle him, or in the t-shirt you have a chip that knows how much you run, your heart conditions and a lot of things more. The main use of technology is to make your life easier and that is passing to sports, now you can know more about what you do in the game or, how you can get better results by training with technology tools.

Finally, the technology is being a big part of our life, helpins¿g us to upgrade our things and not to affect us by using those tools, only to get off from problems that could be fixed by some clicks and in a minor time.

Section B

Today I was on my way home, listening to music on Spotify and a song of Jim Morrison was on my list, and in the photo appeared a phrase of him that said ¨Whoever controls the media, controls the mind¨, and I remembered that you used to say that phrase every time you were on the internet.

Somehow, this phrase has a lot to think of because technology now adays is basically everything. A lot of people got persuaded with the information that is on the website, and not everything you see is true. The power that a website can have is impressive, the people can be famous for only uploading a video. A lot of things can change on the website and the fake information is everywhere, it can make you think a whole different way than the real information. For example, you create Spotify and upload a playlist, by the name of the genre but you are wrong about the genre, now the people that listens to that playlist would think that that is the genre, but they will be wrong. You can play with their mind and make them think a different thing because they saw it on the internet and they think that they can trusty in every thing they see.

By telling you this I hope they make a change and don't believe or make other people believe everything they see on social media.

Speech

Dear fellows,

I summon today all of you, because the past days we have suffered hunger and over hard work, from our leader Napoleon. Tell me if I am wrong by saying this by part of all of us but we have to make a change on our farm and topple Napoleon.

Since we start our farm, bad things were happening every day, new rules were appearing and we are suffering a lot since then. First, when we suffer a insufficiency of food they want us to eat eggs of the chicken, but they refuse to do it and they hide from the pigs, by the night they threw all the eggs and broke them, a few day by then, the pigs told us they have captured the chickens and already kill them, by saying this, they create a new law, basically basing on the perfidy to all of us by refusing an order from the pigs. Second, they have us on a every day hard work, so we can rebuild the farm which was destroy with dinamite by the humans as we notice, Boxer was the one who put more effort in this assignment and never give up from doing it, which this give him consequences of health, with an insufficient of oxygen and a over work in his muscles, they tell him that they would sent him to a doctor so he can recover from the injury and health, but they finally lie to him and sent him to a slaughterhouse.

All animals fell down in their tricks, by brainwashing and make us feel like they were doing something good to us but they take advantage of our weakness and take our rations of food, they sleep in beds, basically acting worse than the humans. We didn't follow the old majors law, all the laws were change by Napoleon, making them good for the pigs but bad for us, changing all the concept of the Major, taking advantage of their power, by realizing this maybe if we were still with the farmer, we would be a lot better, boxer and the chickens will still be alive, our food would be better and we wouldn't have to work everyday.

By saying this, we have to take over the power and live a normal life and not under the laws that only qualified for the pigs, and that shouldn't disqualified us, we all have the same feelings and we all have a bit of freedom to be us and to do what we like. 

Letter Correction

Dear Hassan,

I'm writing this letter to you because i'm feeling sad and guilty about the revenge I did when we were young, since that day have never seen each other again and I always think about it, because we were really good friends. It was a moment of anger and jealously, which take me to an action really stupid, but I though it would be better so I could make something to feel happy about it, but it didn't do anything, it only make it worst and not only affect me, ask Baba, who was impressed about the decision your father made, that was leaving the house in such a surprising way, that hit so hard to my father, by the relationship your father and Baba when they were young.

This revenge, did not finish the way I expected, I just want to do something that could fix the way I was feeling because of the way that Baba treated me. By that moment I really didn't care about the decision your father make, I thought it would be better, so Baba could pay more attention to me and recognize what I'm trying to do to make him proud and make him feel good of what he did and taught me. Since those days, I started my education here in America, and I got a good grade in the college, but by the past of years I start feeling bad about of me, so I didn't care about being a doctor because of Baba dream, I take seriously the role of been a science-fiction writer, it was what I want and it's the only thing that makes me happy, instead of being a doctor, something that I wouldn't be happy at all. This is what I want to be and I'm gonna take it seriously, Baba accepted to what I want and support me with this, so I start writing to make it official. By the pass of the days, I meet the daughter of our general here in America and at the moment I know her, it call my attention and since that day I went to met her and I saw her reading a book, I told her, I was a Science-Fiction writer and that someday I'll bring her a book of myself so she could see how I was writing, so I, came back one day, to gave her the book I promise her the other day, she take a look at it and seems that she like how it looks by the smile on her face but in that moment, the general appears, he take a look at the book and he throw it away and put his hand in my shoulder and told me it wasn't good what I was doing, that I should go back with Baba.

By the pass of the days, I saw the daughter of the general coming to my way and in her hands, I could see that she was holding my book, when she got right next to me, she told me that she love the book and I was a great writer, since that day we star dating, and she help me with my science-fiction novels. This past week, Baba start feeling sick and more decrepit but always with his powerful attitude that he can do everything, but we always help him in what it's harder for him, but we hope he gets better, so we can see each other again. Finally, my dear friend, I hope you get this letter soon, hope to see you soon and talk about all the things that happen since the last time I saw you, maybe one of this day I go these day I will go to visit my special friend and revive the old times.

Greetings 

Amir.

Rationale Correction

The main focus of this letter is about the regret of Amir because of the revenge he made to Amir, trying to solve that problem and to not ruin their friendship, also telling him about what was going on in his head when he did that type of revenge to Hassan and that he felt guilty and stupid about it. In the next paragraphs, I wrote about the life of Amir in America, what he was doing and when he met his love, or in another word, his current wife. 

The letter is based in the "mission" to reunite the friendship between Amir and Hassan, but it could be easily read or understood by any reader. This letter as we can see, is obviously to Hassan, his old friend that separate from his life when the father of Hassan decided to leave the house.

This mainly letter is based in different chapter of the book but always focused in Amir and his life, basically, telling his life in America and the regret of the act to Hassan, trying to fix it and to get in touch with his old friend.

Clone Humans

First of all I will start my experiment in a private place were I can work quietly and peaceful, making this clone as same as some special people which are normal but with specials actittude. I think making the first human clone will be more important because it can make me feel sure of what I am doing and what am going to do in years, but I'll keep this project in secret because this clone would not benefit the world in some amazing way, it will only make trouble to the humans that this clone could replace them in their own job and leave them without nothing.

 He is different because he come from a different country and religion, that is not common in our country. By my side, it will be a really interesting thing, because we will learn more from other countries that arent common.

4.- A common incident that I see is that some kids in school discriminate an other kid who have psicological problems and is really different than the other kids, so their classmates think that is funny how he is and they bother him because of the way he is. This shouldn't happen actually, because if you know that he is special, you have to help him and make him part of your group and let him know that he have someone to talk and that he is not alone in the school.

5.- Miss Vera: I think that racism is something that should not exist, it is something that never had to have been created and who has amassed such a scale to reach a point where discrimination and racism, was and still is one of the greatest forms of make fun of someone because of their race , way of life, their religion or as physically. What should cause or do, is to reduce or despotenciar racism to a point where equality is a majority and that racism is demonstrated in different countries throughout the world

6.- 42 Movie : This movie is based about an afro-american baseball player who get to the major league, he was the only afro-american in that league. As he get to the team their teammates bother him because he was black, then this racism get bigger, and start to receive hate from the other coachs and the people who go to watch the game. During the film, this player doesn't act but the stress and hate make him explote of anger and decide to get out of baseball, but then, he receive the support of some teammates and specially the coach, because he was the best player in the team and basically, in the league. This was a real story and because of this, the number 42 is never been use by any player and only in a special day, all the baseball players use the number 42 in their shirts.

Movie review

INVICTUS (2009)
MPAA Rating
Genre: Sport Drama.
With: Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman.
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Distributer: Warnes Bros Picture
Movie Reviewed by Martin Townsend

'Times change, we need to change as well' Francis Pienaar. The movie Invictus released in 2009, directed by Clint Eastwood an amazing actor, that had work in greatest movie, not only is a great actor, aslo Morgan Freeman, that has been linked to the one Nelson Mandela, the ex president of South Africa. Matt Damon recognized actor make in this movie the role of Francis Pienaar, the captain of South Africa. This movie shows us what Mandela and the team of South Africa had to live during that Rugby World Cup and what consist the support of Mandela.

The message that this movie gives, is the way how South Africa live, the separation of color was awful, and how instead of those problems, the team everything to win the Rugby World Cup. The other important thing is that Mandela takes the chance to use the Rugby World Cup, played in South Africa, as an opportunity to take the support from white minority and to reduce the racial tension that could take them into a civil war.

Mandela, give's his biggest support to the Springboooks, and he doesn't care about the chance's that his team have, he was happy because of what his country do in that sport that nobody could ever think that the Springbooks will go that far.

Every resuly in the match's that they had were real. In my opinion this movie is a total success because not everyone, know's what happen and how that World Cup help South Africa to take up and put in a good position after all they suffer with the descrimination of color.

This movie in particular is a good way to see the vague thing because all the bad things can change to a good thing like tha way Mandela forgive the people who put them into jail, and after all he support them and give them the best to his nation. And other superation part that the movie show's is how an unexpected team can get to surprise a whole nation and lover's of rugby that see those match's that South Africa have to win.

Finally, the movie is great, the special effect's and the role that the actor's have to do is something really hard, to recreate a match and exactly all the things that the real team do. Every singel part of the movie is exciting and the lesson that this movie give are really important and show the real problems in the other countries.

ESSAY

Global warming 

Im going to talk about one of the biggest and unstoppable problems on earth, global warming that affects all the world together, making changes in the climate and in the nature, that every day, month and year will keep growing up and affecting not only us, the humanist, also the animals and our planet where we live in and create our life, showing us the bad consequence that we will have to live in the future and it will complicate our lives and our nature.

First, the problem of global warming is that scientist do not know how to stop global warming that is affecting us seriously and it doesn't have a reversible change because of the damage we make and it depend on us to change this, even a minimum change will help us to make a big difference in the future. Another problem is the several greenhouse gases responsible for warming, and our personal things, like our cars and our technology devices that help us everyday to live our life's. CO2 is one of the responsible for warming. Thankfully, CO2 is not as dangerous as methane and chlorofluorocarbon, which has been move, so the damage to ozone be lower that's nowhere 

Finally another bad consequence, is that all this damage will affect the tempeture, make them higher for all the world, and that will affect us with our food on winter and summer. Also, the climate change can give dead to those place with high tempeture.

In opposition to all this, global warming consequence is not at all prove by scientist, they think human activities are not the main consequence of global warming, and the tempeture change will not be that big as they say, and again this is not made by human error.

In conclusion, we have to start living more ecological, because in a few years, all those gases and industries will affect seriously to earth.

Dear Madam Reginato

I am writing to protest in favor of the new skate park in Sausalito. Considering, the problems that could happen in the street.

I would like to point out that this is a city of sports, ain't skateboarding a sport?. So, knowing that Vina have a lot of skateboarders, the requierment of this park could be a perfect way to get the Chilean skaters out of the country to live their impossible dreams.

The fact is that the skate park will get known and will take advantage of the view that have the lake Sausalito, the new stadium of Everton Club, the club Granadilla and the new football fields that are in process. This things will make Sausalito a touristic place for the family, especially in summer, because of the activity's in the lake and the practice of kayak. If you consider, one thing could make a big change in a place that is forgotten by the citizens. This skate park will make a big change in the way to see the sport activity that the municipality do, this will call all the attention of the young kids and will make a bigger practice of this sport.

It is for these reasons to awareness this project and start thinking the good things that could happen with this change.

I look forward to your response.

Your sincerely,

Martin Townsend.

Exercise 2 Pg 23

It was a normal and sunny day in the beach. Bambera was really bad because of his fish funeral. He thought that nothing will change hus day, when suddenly.

He saw something far away on the beach, something bright and little. He thought it was a simple paper or a work of a baby with shining stars. He walked to that, he couldn't believe it. It was a €500 bill. His day get grest in just a second, he imagined all the things he could do with that money, but suddenly remembered the last time he used that much of money, he got a lot of problems and his family saw him as a bad influence to the family and the peoplewho are around him. He thought for almost an hour what would he do with that money. He went to the city to see what could he spend his money on.

He was really nervous because in the moment he had to pay, the casheer would think how he got that much money, including that he look awful in this dirty clothes, so he went to the thrift store to buy some cheap and new clothes. He wasted almost €50 in clothes, now he had to think, what would he buy with those €450 bill.

In the end, he decided to buy a new fish and save the money to pay the rent and personal use things.

The New Traditional School

Over the past years, the Allsop academy make a lot of changes, making them one of the best school's in the UK. The new headmaster change the rule's to make the school a betterf place to learn, if the student come with long hair or short hair, or using phone in class or they wear the wrong shoes, they send them home. Now, they cannot go to fast food to lunch and i they dont do their homework, they have to stay on after school. There are no problems now in the school like before, because of the new rules. In my opinion, I think the changes help the student's to be prepare in the future, to make them a better person, with a good acttitude and a good grade to be succesful when they grow and have a good future making the things that they love.
