Extreme Sport

This extreme sport it’s about people in special bicycle jumping around making the best tricks while going down rapidly the hill. This is an extreme sport that makes you really feel the adrenaline all over your body. 

Even though, this one is very very dangerous because the person doesn’t have any protection, so, life is on the line putting the person body at risk. 

This is one of the best sports on earth but also one of the most expensive and that not all the persons are going to experience because you have to be very brave in order to ride one of the bikes. It is also important to know that not in all the countries this sport can be practiced.

Report on crime in Costa Rica

In Costa Rica, crime is something that increases every day. Insecurity is one of the reasons; most of people have been robbed, abused or killed. Laws aren’t strong enough for the ones who have committed one or several crimes like the ones mentioned before. Most of the cases, guilty persons only go to jail for a short time and this affects the quality of life of the victims and the society as well. 

For example, a young man killed a person who was 45 years old. This pitiful fact was in Guanacaste. The young wanted to rob the adult and this one didn’t let him. For this reason, the young person took a tube and he thumped it against the adult is head and after that, the young inserted him four stabs. The person died instantly. The young will be in jail for 3 years.

Now, relatives claimed that newspaper and other media take advantage of these situations and unfortunately, yellow press showed photos or different images that are uncomfortable for people to watch.

Finally, the president said that crime affects society on every aspect and it’s important to resolve all the necessities about this topic because is a real problem that has to be resolved as soon as possible.

Advertising

I think that some advertising takes advantage of the weakness of people. In this case, the advertisers want to express that if you drink ´´Heineken´´ you will be able to see or do these kind of things.

Moreover, they do not care about the negative consequences, like alcoholism, physical diseases, etc., they only think in how to make money. 

It’s sad to see this kind of advertising, the advertisers are very creative and they should take advantage of this magnificent ability. It’s important to create knowledge in people, for example the use of condoms, prevent of smoking, etc.; and they have the tools to do it.

How can you helps to improve your language skills?

It’s difficult to spend time practicing English. Sometimes I make the mistake of using English language skills only when I attend English classes. I know that it’s bad and if I really want to learn this language, I must practice it without caring to how much time I have to spend out of class. It’s my responsibility.

Nevertheless, teachers have the same degree of responsibility because they ought to give us tools and advices about how to learn a better English language. For this reason, they should give dynamic classes and to b more creative because experience learning is more efficient than passive learning. In some cases, people don’t want to learn English because they have had a bad experience caused by their teachers and it’s sad to see that.

On the other hand, the program course must be more active. For example, I think that the final test should include an oral test. This is an important part that can’t be omitted because the learning has to be comprehensive.

Finally, I think that a good English learning depends of the inner motivation that each one has. If you want to learn it to earn more money, it could be hard to learn because this pressure could deflect your goal.

Dear Ms. Castro,

I think that your conference was very interesting. I didn’t know about the new study strategies. I love this new idea: to practice before studying theory.  Actually, I will try to apply it.

Now, people learn in different way. They learn for themselves. This advance shows the human ability to have a developming brain.
