children`s independence

children`s independence
people should live independently from their parents at 20 years old, because they can get more benefits.You could get a good part-time job or if you are very good in whatever activities you do, you could work in a good company. In both cases you can get you own money, that is why they shold be independent peolple. A lot of peolple think that teenagers have to learn how to get by in the actual world, because not everything is easy to get. It`s obvious that leaving in your own apartment or house maybe with a roommate have advantages about a teaching of the life.In many respects, parents aren't going to stay with you or pay your bills always, so that you can start you real life very young and have more opportunities than elderly peolple which is why you are going to know the real troubles that the life will present you.[Hiromi Kudo Ramirez]*

General comments for Reader's Digest Nº2

After we check all the Reader's Digest Nº 2 summaries, we think that they have to improve their grammar and in some cases be more creative at the moment of write their summary and not just copy the title and the topic sentence...but in general we think they were good works.

Money isn´t everything

Money isn´t everything

People believe that money is the best, however many rich people are unhappy, therefor, money is not everything in our lives. People should not forget that feelings and friendship are more important, obviously we need money, that´s why we have to create a balance between money and feelings.

For example, I could have money and everything I want, but it would be very sad if I don´t have anyone to share my money with.

Actually people work hard to get money because they think that money is the most important and necesary, however they´re wrong because there are things most important such as love, health and our family.

So in the world there are too many poor people, but no all of them are suffering people, those who understand that the love they have in their family and friends.

Furthermore, when you have money everybody wanna be your friend, but when you don´t have it sometimes people don´t give you importance and in some cases some people have several money, however they don´t have culture.

Nowdays;we know that money has become so important in our lives, that many people try to get it by murdering, stealing or any kind of bad things in our society that´s why sometimes we are so interested in getting money that in some cases we don´t care about what we do for getting it.

An unknown person stole our things on the park

I remember that the incident was at night. It was about 7.00p.m. My friends and I didn't enter to the classroom bacause we had to do our project, so we went walking to the kennedy park. Upon arrive to the place, each one had to interview to 3 tourists at least. Somje of my friends had already done it. When I could talked with a tourist he aggred to have a conversation about illness. Then I was looking for other tourists but some of them did not want to talk with us, so we were tired walking from one place to another so we decided to sit for a few minutes , but next to us there was a young man and my two friends and I wanted to have a photo of us, so we asked him to take us some photos with my friend's camera, but this person stayed there and moments later I saw a group of tourists that was coming in direction to us. Inmediately we went and asked them if they could help us having a short conversation and they accepted, but we only take the camera and left our backpacks on the seat and we went somewhere else with the tourists, meanwhile my friend was filming us I began talking and when we finished the conversation, the tourists left us. When we came back to the seat to picked up our backpacks we didn't find them. I was so worried because my book, dictionary, Mp3, wallet and my sueter were on it. My friwend told me that the guy was already gone. It was obvious that he had stolen our things, we went fast to the police station to tell them what happened to us.

This article describes mostly the behavior of people in front of aging. The main character is called Reeve Lindbergh, and she tells her experiences of growing older and how people feel scared thinking that they're aging and very soon they're going to be elderly, even when you are young. Also she recalls that people usually want to be younger and take back people who have already died.

In conclusion, every year is different and there are so many things that are waiting for you, so that you have to enjoy every moment of your life.

What's your America IQ?

Remember those old World war II movies with american GIs peppering suspicious-looking soldiers with questions like, Who played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1942? And if they didn't answer Dolph Camilli, the GIs knew they were really Nazi scum dressed as Americans? Remember? The point: Real Americans, wherever we're from, know that what makes us unique isn't found in history books.

Money isn't everything

People think that with money they can do and buy everything but it's not the true. They think that with money they can buy happinees, for example when a husband says to his wife <<>> but the only thing he gives is money and he doesn't spend time with her or his children. They think that with money they can buy someone's help , for example when a person commits a crime and someone sees him, he will give thw person some money they can educate a little child, for example: if the parents give money, cellphones, mp3 players to their children, this is not enought because children not only needs money, they need time and love from their parents, for these reasons I really believe that money can't buy everything.

Tricky Lottery Games

Have you ever thought about winning the lottery? How many times would you try for getting the highest prize? Millions of people around the world by tickets for the lottery . Most of them don't win anything. However, they continue playing because deep down in their hearts they have the hope of winning. Is it really worth it? Those who have won huge amounts of money tell us that yes. But, honestly, I think people shouldn't spend their money on those tricky games. Why do we have to wait for a stroke of luck?
Money is very important; we need money for almost everything. Imagine that you want to buy something special for rewarding yourself; instead of going out for dinner or movies, you are going to stay at home because you want to save money. Why not save the money we spend on lottery tickets? Maybe it's not a fortune, but you could use it in a better way. We have to star with little things!
Also there's a group of people taht sometimes don't realize that their wish od having a lot of money become stronger day to day. In some cases, they even ask for a loan just for playing. What if your winning wish gets stronger? You could become a lottery adidict and your home economics would be affected. That would be the worst end.
Some said: "The love of money is the root of all evil". Do you believe it? Nowadays, people don't cre abut the family, the friendship and even the love. We are worried about material things, and we have forgotten that money doesn't mean happiness. Having money is not bad, however, we should find the best way of earn it.

MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING

I think money is everything because you can get eveything you want . for example my father works hard because he has to pay the bills , he has to buy things that I need .
There are people ,more women, who are interested in money . For example I have a friend who has only a boyfriend because he has a lot of money .In my opinion money doesn't buy feelings but you can get other things , for example : a new house , a beautiful car , a modern cell phone , etc.
I don't work but I want to work because I want to have everything, but now I know the only responsability that I have is study . Then I will work so I can buy a new cell phone , travel around the world and have a amazing house .

ANYBODY CAN GET RICH IF THEY WORK HARD ENOUGH

TIPOIC SENTENCE:
I THINK ,IF YOU WORK HARD AND SAVE MONEY FOR YOUR GOALS THEN YOU BECOME IN A SUCCESSFUL PERSON.

YOU SHOULD GET YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER BECOUSE YOU LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK ALL THE TIME.
FOR EXAMPLE:
MY FRIEND JHON ,WHO IS MANAGER ,HAS ALOT OF CREDIT CARDS AND HE LIVES PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK.

YOU SHOULDN´T SPEND YOUR MONEY FOR USELESS THINGS BECOUSE YOU WILL NEED THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHINGS VERY IMPORTANTS FOR EXAMPLE : CLOTHES , FOOD ,ETC
FOR EXAMPLE:
MY BEST FRIEND CRISTIAN, WHO SPEND HIS MONEY IN KARAOKE BARS EVERY SATURDAY THEN ON SUNDAY HE TOLD ME : ERICK LEND TO ME 80 SOLES FOR MY FOOD PLEASE...

BEFORE THAT , SOME PEOPLE BECOME MILLIONARIES ,THEY WORKED HARD AND STUDIED HARD BECOUSE THEY THOUGHT TO BE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FUTURE THEN THEY STARTED TO SAVE MONEY AND THEY PUT THEIR MONEY IN THE STOCK MARKET FOR EXAMPLE:

I KNOW TWO BROTHERS,THEY FROM CUZCO. THEY STARTED TO SELL TOMATOES IN THE STREET THEN THEY BOUGHT A NEW CAR , THEN, THEY CONTINUED TO WORK HARD BECOUSE THEY THINK TO HAVE THEIR COMPANY OF TAXIS . NOW THEY HAVE THEIR OWN COMPANY , THEY HAVE A BIG HO IN LARCO AND THEY HELP POOR PEOPLE.

Blues pioneers made music from hard times.
The lyrics of this kind of music show the lives and regrets of workers of the Deep South.
The Blues is related with sorrow.
Jack Johnson is a musician who thinks that the Blues is a feeling and Robert Johnson is the most mythic bluesman of all.
The Blues is a revolutionary art!

The article is about people that became famous and started with a kind of music call BLUES.

In the article we can see that Gail Monney traveled to the Delta to find "the bluesmen" and the interview that he made.

Now in the interview he told us about the lyrics that they putted , because they tell us their slavery in the field.

Near to finish the article we can see that he(Gail Moon) write about one of the blues pionners

Pinetop Perkins.

Well in conclusion like said the writter if we turn on our radios , we could listen the blues music.

In my opinion we have to try sometimes to listen it because is beatter than music in this time.

This is an article about the mississippi river people that they became famous people and how with generate of blues (is a kind of music of course) reader's digest said something about cotton, sugar and rice and why because that make their a famous people. Some of these singers say that they don't make a song, they put whatever they feel in their songs. I think that make a great singer because if we see in these days our generation listen reggaeton, rock, pop, etc and few of these music talk about the real life but blues, salsa, etc they tal about the real life they see the reality and they don't think nothing about the love, any kind for dancing; a couple of songs talk abou it but the majority look the reality.
Reader's digest talk about how they live in these days even so they're poor people they do their best to sourvive.

My first day at school!

I'll never forget the time when I went to school by the first time...I had never felt so scared before! That was because my pranksters cousins told me that there were monster hidden in the school. I was so afraid that I couldn't sleep the day before. When the day finally arrived and my mom took me there I couldn't stand it any longer and I run as far as I could (one block) before my mom caught me and said: "If you don't want to get in trouble and get a punishment, you'd better get in class right now".

I told to my mom what my cousins told and she told me not to be silly, then my teacher took my into the classroom where all the students (who previously saw me doing that show outside) were looking at me like if I were some kind of freak. I had never felt so scared and embarrased in the same day before. When I came back to home my parents yelled to my cousins for making that kind of joke but they said that they didn't think I was to believe them...However it seems pretty funny now every time I remembered.

I wanted to write about the time when I went to France with my friends and I lost my camera.We were really happy because we had studied French before we travelled, so my friends and I wanted to practice the language.We spent a month in Paris, it was amazing!The first weeks, we went to visit some places with other persons, because we didn’t know how to take the subway.One day, we decided to visit the rest of the city by ourselves.When we decided it, we had already learned how to take the subway.The next day, we took it to go to the Eiffel Tower and something really bad happened…My camera was stolen!When I wanted to take a photo, I had discovered that I didn’t have my camera.My friends thought that I left it at home, so we returned but it wasn’t there.I learned that I have to be more responsible and cautious.

Bettewen life and death

When I used to suffer for a sickness of my left eye , my parents decided to take me at the hospital INO, so Iwent there and the doctors said "We'll make a operation for you and it's going to be in November 15th 2002". And in that day I didn't have to eat so if I ate something before the operation, I could die. In that I was prepared to the operation I didn't have breakfast in my home but in the hospital I met some friends and before the doctors made the operation, I had eaten some candies. Then I went with the nurse to the hall where the doctor operated me and she was looking my clothes, she found some candies and she asked if I 've eaten it and I said yes...Unfortunately, by the time the nurse found the candies, she had gone to cancel the operation because the doctor couldn't operate me if I ate something. The next week was great, because the operation was perfect. I understand that the rules aren't a game because we must respect it.

SUMMARY

The photographer, Gail Mooney traveled to the south of Delta (Mississippi) to take some pictures to bluesman and women who immigrated many years ago for his Photographic exhibition. These blues people introduced many music rhythms, such as, jazz, country, hip-hop and blues.

It seems to me that Gail Mooney wanted to show us something more than the culture of this people, through the photography and know more than their music.

BROKEN WINDOW...!*

I was nine years old and I had never played any sport because I was very shy and I didn’t have a lot of friends so I was all the day in my house and playing with my dolls.
Some days when my mom had to go to work and she couldn’t stay at home with me, my neighbor that is my mother’s best friend she was always taking care of me when my mom couldn’t.

One day my neighbor took a trip with all her family and had to leave her house so she asked my mom if she could take care of her house and my mother accepted.

After that some girls of my neighborhood asked me if I wanted to play volleyball but I had never played volleyball so first I refused and didn’t want to play because I didn’t cause problems with the others, but the girls continued asking me if I could play. I hadn’t had friends and I though that it was a good idea to make friends and to learn to play volleyball, so I decided to play.
Later when they started playing I didn’t know what to do, I threw the ball but the ball broke my neighbor’s window’s house.
In that moment I felt very embarrassed and I didn’t know what to tell to my mother and how to give to my neighbor my sincere apology.

After I had gone to my house I told my mother what was the problem so she got angry but then she understood me.

A few days after my neighbor returned to her house and my mother told her that she tried to clean the window but accidentally she broke the window and gave her apology I was very surprised because I caused the problem but my mom said that she did because she understood my situation and didn’t want to make me feel bad.

Also she said that she was going to pay her.

In this incident I learned that I have to be more careful because then I would have to accept the consequences.

Embarrased school trip

When I was at school, my teachers decided to make a trip to the swamps of a village. The idea of visiting this place didn’t spark much enthusiasm in me as I live near it, but I still went because my friends had insisted we go.

The day arrived. The streets were cloudy and wet as it had rained the night before. When I get to school, I had the feeling that today was not going to be a good day but I shrugged the feeling off and continued being myself.

When we arrived, the guide told us that some places were restricted as it was very risky to be in those places. The tour began and was very boring. I began to play with my friends even though the ground was wet. After a while, my best friend and I slipped and fell. My clothes were dirty and my prediction was right, this was not a good trip at all.

Finally, the trip ended. I was very embarrassed throughout the ride back to school. Arriving at school, i called my mom to pick me up and my mother, upon seeing me, said to me, "you're the black sheep of the family and I was severely punished for my prank.
