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.
