STRESS (CAUSE-EFFECT)

Have you ever felt stress and you don't know why? Many of us have felt stress in our job, family, or in the school. We are going to see that enviromental ploblems, our personal stuff, and our work are the main causes that produce stress.

The first cause of stress are enviromental stressors. Usually, when we go to work, the traffic is used to affecting us because we think about arriving late at school or at our job, instead of listening to music for relaxing. Also the noise is another cause that affects us. When we listen a lot of it, we get nervous and also we get angry for it.

Our personal stuff also can stress us. In our family we are exposed to too many problems, but the most common are troubles with the parents, or marital problems. Like when you are going to get divorce you are worry because of that. The lack of money also can be another. W e get worried when we can not pay the house bills or when we can not buy something that we want.

The last cause is trouble with our work. The excess of work is the main cause of stress because we feel the responsability to take out the work that we have. Also when our boss arrives and he scolds for any apparent reason we get frustratied, and we spend the rest of the day upset.

Enviromental problems, personal stuff, and our work are the main causes of stress. If we don't take the things with calm and are not relax, we will fall in the stress and our health is going to be affected.

*PROBLEM-SOLUTION ESSAY* Marijuana legalization: A good or bad solution.

Do you think that marijuana should be legalized? Do you think that it is the best solution? Marijuana dealing is a problem that we have been facing for many years. Even thogh there are a lot of kinds of drugs, marijuana is one of the most common. This serious problem has one important solution: the legalization.

Marijuana is a big problem that unfortunately creates many bad habits and that could also make the people kill each other. But the problem here is not the consumption of drugs, the real problem is what the drug dealers are able to do in order to export or import some drugs. For this reason, there is corruption, there are murders, anti-narcotics, and also illegal plantations.

There is a solution which is very controvercial: the legalization. It sounds very crazy, but it seems very effective. Indeed, some of the greatest worl wide organizations have proposed it and some others have already applied it. If this solution is applied, marijuana will be consumed more, but there will not be more illegal traffic of marijuana, no more illegal plantations, no more drug dealers, no more what is called "narco-guerrilla", and nomore political corruption.

The debate over the legalization of marijuana has been one of the most controvercial issues ever to occur in the United States. Marijuana has been used as a medicine; it has medical purposes. In addition, the goverment could earn money from taxes on its sale, so, there would be more money for our country and less money for drug dealers; also it would reduce crime rites. In fact, people who are pro-marijuana argue that it is considerably less harmful than tabacco and alcohol.

In short, marijuana is a problem that some people pay attention to; however, its legalization could be a good idea because with this solution many problems could be solved; nevertheless, there will be more consumption of it. To conclude, many people say that legalization of marijuana will never happen, but I feel it is inevitable.

AMERICAN DREAM OR AMERICAN NIGHTMARE (Problem-Solution)

Is the American dream really a dream, or is it a nightmare? Many Mexicans think that if they work in the USA they will have more opportunities to be better, for this reason they try to cross the frontier between Mexico and the USA many times without permission. The principal problem is that some people die trying to obtain this dream. This problem requires serious action from the government.

The principal causes are the employment, the salary and personal improvement. Many people do not have a job and they try to obtain it wherever. Also in Mexico the salary is lower than in the USA and dollars have greater value than pesos. The majority of the people who decide to go to the USA think that they will be better and will have more valuable things.

There are many effects that the people that try to cross the frontier suffer. One important is the following, it is very difficult to cross the frontier and immigration is so cruel with the people who try to cross and sometimes these people die. Families try to cross, sometimes they travel with their children and they risk their lives for all the dangers that exist when crossing. The majority of the people who can cross have a hard work and frequently they do not have rights in theirs jobs, for this reason they suffer discrimination.

There are many solutions that the government could do to eradicate this problem however one of the principal solutions which could avoid that the people change their hometown is that the government creates more employments and with better salaries. Other solution could be that people have more access to study, for this the government could build more schools, universities, and so on; principally in rural areas, so that people can have a better education and will have a better job with better salaries without the need of traveling to the USA.

In conclusion, the problem may be solved with actions of the Mexican government like creating employment and better education; the USA government can help too. It should not be ignored because it is a serious problem for Mexico.

BASKETBALL VS FOOTBALL SOCCER (Comparative)

Do you prefer playing with feet or hands? Football soccer and basketball games are very interesting, good for the body, and health, but they are also so different. I am going to show you some differences between soccer and basketball games.

The first difference is related to the parts of the body that are involved in the game. In basketball you can touch the ball with the hands. Players need to bounce and pass the ball away from them. On the contrary, in soccer, only the goal keeper can touch the ball with the hands, in the majority of the games, the players play with the hands inside of the court, it is fault.

Other difference is the number of players that play in each game. The basketball game only has 5 players that include pillars, wings, and frontiers. In that, the players can change the position and everybody can score points. On the other hand, a soccer game has 11 players that include one goalkeeper, defenses, midfielders, and strikers. Each one has a position in the court and is difficult that the goalkeeper or defenses score points.

Finally, the form of scoring points is different too. Basketball’s players can have three different forms to score points called baskets. The firs and more common is when a player throws inside of the small area, it counts two points. The second form is when the players throw outside of the small area, and they can get three points the other is when they can have a free throw, and it counts only one point. Unlike basketball, in a soccer game, all the throws have the same point, but it only counts one point and this is called goal.

MY LAST LOVE DISILLUSIONMENT (Narrative)

I had never been more stupid in my life. Some months ago I met a handsome man who was nice with me. Now he is a bad story in my life because he lied to me.

I met Miguel in the University before the last vacation. At the end of the last semester, I needed coming to the University and surrendering some worksheets. That day I was giving my documents, and an attractive man arrived. He arrived showing much confidence, as if we were friends, but I did not know who he was.

I was confuses and I asked myself “who is he?” In that moment I needed to surrender my documents and to get into the teacher’s office. After that, I got in, and I tried not to think about him but it was impossible. Later, I went out of the office and he was there, he was playing jokes with my friend.

When I arrived with them, we began talking about our grades. When we were talking, my friend needed to go to the bathroom, and he asked me about my cell phone number and gave me his number too, to have his cell phone number was great, but I had to go to my house and it was our farewell.

Some days after our farewell, he called me, and he told me that I was a beautiful and wonderful girl and that he wanted to have a date with me. I accepted to have a data because I really wanted to see him. The date’s day arrived but he never came, so I decided to wait for his call.

My vacation finished, but he never called me. When I arrived to the University I saw him but he was talking with another girl, and he told her the same words that he had said to me. In that moment I felt really bad, but I caught on that he was a liar. Now I do not believe in men.

PROBLEM-SOLUTION ESSAY: People with AIDS

Help us to prevent AIDS: we need to educate with responsible love. It is because AIDS has existed since many years ago. Although many scientists have tried to discover the treatment against this terrible disease, they have not found some patent treatments yet. This issue is very important, because there are people with AIDS that are discriminated by other people. The problem of people with AIDS in the world can be solved by educating people and creating conscience.


There are many causes to explain why people got AIDS and there are also some serious effects. The firs cause can be because they did not recieve enough information about specific illnesses like AIDS from their parents, maybe because they got shyness to talk about sex with their sons and daughters. The second cause can be because people knew about it, but they decided to have sex without a condom, in other words, they did not have conscience. The effects of this illness are that many people have been discriminated, as a result, they can not get a job and the worst is that many people have died.


The problem of people with AIDS can be reduced by the government. The government should place more schools everywhere to educate people, this way would be more factible, because people would have the enough knowledge about different illnesses like AIDS. They would learn that there are different contraceptives to prevent this terrible illness.


There is another solution that can be done about this serious problem. Famous people should take advantage of their fame by doing concerts that have a positive message for the people about AIDS, and the money collected could be donated to hospitals to help people with this disease for example: buying the special treatments that they need; as a result, the life of this people would be easier.


To sum up, there are more solutions that we can do to solve the problem of people with AIDS in the world. However, the most important are the actions that the government and famous people can take. We can work together against this terrible illness. If we carried at those solutions, we would have a more relaxing world with healthy people.

COMPARATIVE ESSAY: Why is special the sound of MCR?

The riffs (guitar chords) of the songs of My Chemical Romance are explosive and dynamic, and the only two persons in charge of it are Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Together, they make these amazing sounds with their guitars. However, they are so different in many ways. Let me tell you some differences between them.

One of the differences is their own style to play the guitar. The way that Ray Toro plays his guitar is serious, strong, and sometimes crazy. In contrast, Frank Iero plays the guitar even crazier than his colleague, Frank has much energy, he always falls down while he is playing.

Another difference between these guitar players is their nationality. Even though both grew up in New Jersey, Ray is from Puerto Rico, but he moved with his family to U.S. when he was a baby. While Frank is American, he was born in Texas, but when he was in high school, he moved to New Jersey, and he is still living there.

Their physical appearance is also an important difference between them. Ray is tall, strong, and one aspect that makes him unique is his big afro hair. Unlike Ray, Frank is shorter and thinner than Ray, actually he is the shortest in the band, he has many tattoos in all his small body and his hair style changes many times, he can have long hair, short hair, or a crazy hair style.

Ray Toro and Frank Iero both are so different, but I think that the mixture of different styles makes the special sound of My Chemical Romance.

When I saw My Chemical Romance in a live performance

Have you ever felt an enormous excitement when seeing your favorite band in a live performance? So if you haven’t let me tell you my experience when I saw My Chemical Romance for the first time and I can say that day was the most wonderful experience in my life. I have been a fan of MCR since three years ago and I knew about the concert by internet, so I was so excited and happy. After, I told my friend who is a fan too and then we began to ask for permission to our parents. They let us go. I have to say that since the beginning until the end of that trip was amazing.


A day before the concert, my friend and I arrived to Mexico City, and we decided to stay in my friend’s family house. They were so nice with me and I was very comfortable with them. In the afternoon we went to Coyoacan, it was a beautiful place and we spent our time there. At night, my friend and I were singing some songs of MCR and preparing all of our stuff that we were going to take to the concert.


The next day it would be the concert in “Palacio de los Deportes”, so my friend and I were so excited, we couldn’t believe it that it would be the first time that we would see our favorite band. After that, when the concert started and the light turned off, I had a strange feeling that I had never felt before, I just started to scream, cry, sing at the same time. I got completely crazy. They played many songs, and I sang every single word with them.


At the end of the concert, we were in the car of my friend’s uncle, and we saw a limousine, I told them that maybe My Chemical Romance was in that limo, but they said no, because they thought that the members of MCR were in vans, so we let them go. The next day we returned to Aguascalientes, and I knew that MCR was in that limo.


I had been waiting for that moment for a long time, and it was the amazing experience that has happened to me. Because for the first time I saw My Chemical Romance in a live show.

NARRATIVE ESSAY: My first visit to the Zoo

Have you ever felt happiness and worry in one day? I lived one of the strangest moments of my life when I went to a summer course with other people. The teachers in this course carried us to visit the Guadalajara's zoo and that day was very strange. A day full of fun became into a worry, because our bus was damaged.

That day at 8 a.m. we went to the zoo by bus, there we sang funny songs and one of the theachers taught us how to do different figures in a piece of paper. After 4 hours, we arrived to the zoo and we went to some games to have fun. We had fun in a rollercoaster among other rides, but then we were tired, so we decided to rest.

We rested in a train that carried us around the zoo to watch different animals. We could see a giraffe that was walking together with a herd of its kind. Also, there were a lot of beautiful monkies and hippopotamus. Moreover, we went to see an amazing dolphin show, in which the dolphins did excellent pirouettes, I liked it so much, because I had never seen a dolphin show in my whole life. After that, we ate a delicious sandwiches and sodas. Later, some of my partners went to different places around the zoo.

Consequently, they got lost, so we had to look for them. When they appeared, the teacher scolded them, and finally, we had to abandon the place. We were sad, but anyway we were making noise. Suddenly, the bus was advancing slowly and then it stopped, the teacher let us know that the bus was damaged, my partners and I were worried about staying there all the night, but we only were there around 3 hours. After that, the chauffeur could fix the bus and we continued our way, while another teacher told us a horror story.

We are thankful to the chauffeur, because he fix the bus and we could arrive to our homes. I learned that I should be patient in some situations ofmy life and that not all the things will be ok. We have to think in a positive way to have success in life.

INTOLERANCE IN ALL THE WORLD problem-solution essay

Did you know intolerance is an international problem? Talking about things that people can not satand, it could be religion, differences between cultures or customs, or only different ways of thinking. There are some things that really bug us, but the problem is in the way people respond to these things. Intolerance is the principal cause of wars in all the world. There are two effective ways to solve the intolerance problem: education and agreement.



To be intolerant is to be a person who does not like when someone is different, and wants everybody to act in the same way. Intolerance has been the principal problem in all the world since ancient history. All wars have been originated for problems such as religion, politics, race, etc. These problems are examples of intolerance. There are a lot of people that use violence when they get angry for something that they cannot tolerate. They need to know how to take control of their intolerance.

First, to face the intolerance, we need to begin with kids; in school is necesary to teach tolerance. The educational system needs to focus on inculcating tolerance. Since we were children our parents taught us to accept the differences between other people, but it is also necesary appears out of school. It is important that new generations learn to be tolerant. On the other hand, it is difficult that all educational system in all the world get an agreement for tolerance. In some countries schools promote the intolerance.

Second, to get down the intolerance it is important that governors know how to get agreements. An agreement is when people try to solve their differences in an accord, where both get equal benefits. Sometimes there are governors, presidents, or kings that do not know how to get an agreement. An example of this is Fidel Castro, he is a dictator and someone must teach him what tolerance is. Nevertheless it is to dificult that governors try these but for young people that will be our gobernors, they need to have in mind that tolerance is the most important to get the perfect society.

To sum up, I think there is a piece of tolerance inside of us, the important thing is to try to find this little piece. Everyday we face with a lot of problems coused by intolerance, even inside home and home is where we need to begin to practice tolerance. When we are driving and someone does something wrong, or when someone un your job thinks different, try to count to ten, breath, and think in what times when someone was intolerant with you. Don't forget that intolerance is an important social problem, do not make it bigger.

*COMPARISON ESSAY* Differences between High School and College

Do you want to study in High School or in College? These two options are very dissimilar, althogh in both you can learn a lot. These differences include homework, tests, and attendance polices.

The first difference is homework. In High School most teachers will assign you to turn in your homework late if you give them an excuse such as "I forgot it at home" or "It is in my locker". In contrast, in College if you give your professor one of these excuses, they will say "Too bad" and you do not have another opportunuty.

Another difference are the tests. There are also a lot of tests in High School; usually, there is a test every week or two. Althogh in College there are more tests, the work is not hard. Most of the time you will read aloud in class or go over every point of the homework so, there is no question of what you have to do.

The last difference are the attendance polices. In High School the teachers are always on you about attentance; that is, if you miss to many days, you can fail, so if you are not in class, they want to know why; in addition, they probably call your parents and let them know that you were not in class. On the contrary, in College the teachers do not care whether or not you are in class; it means that if you are not there, you are going to get a failing grade, so you have to be responsible to succeed. It is up to you.

To conclude, the main differences between High School and College are the assignments, exams, and absences. The High School´s teachers teach the students the responsibility by making them to do their homework and monitoring their attendance and College students are expected to have it. So, in my personal opinion I prefer High School because I need more attention.

The most recommended food to lower weight is fruits and vegetables. But you need to have professional advice and nutritional education.
Exercise is another way to have good health and good shape. With exercise you help your body to lose weight but, you need to be constant. A good routine of exercise will help you to be average weight.

All the bands have differences but the most important thing is that they use music to express feelings because this is their objective.

MY FIRST DAY IN THE UNIVERSITY (NARRATIVE ESSAY)

Do you remember your first day in the university? Well, I remember my first day I was waiting all the summer to enter at the university. I felt excited and at the same time I was very nervous because it was my first day in the university and I didn't know any person. My first day in the university was good.

I didn't know how to arrive to my classroom. I was lost and I had to ask one person about the building where I was going to take classes. This person was very nice and told me the right direction. I walked to the building, and when I arrived I saw some people and I felt strange.

I approached to one girl and I asked for the classroom and we discovered that we where in the same group and I felt less nervous. I introduced myself and She also did it, her name was Yuriko. We came in the classroom and the time to start classes began.

When we began our classes, all our classmates were quiet, nobody talked. the teacher arrived early. she started the class and after that we introduced ourselves. Then I saw my others classmates and I looked at two girls they were Greta and Eli.

I approached with them and I talked with Greta and Eli . I introduced myself, then they did the same and we began to know more about each other, like where we were from or what we did. After that, we spent the rest of the day together until we had to go home.

I am always going to remember that day because I had the opportunity to meet more people and the most important I met the best friends that I have ever had. Finally, I think that it is natural that on the first day we feel nervous, but the things always have a happy ending, that's why I say that my first day in the university was very good.
