Grammar Common Mistakes

1.- Comma use.
Def: The comma is use to separate elements, and sentences. This is a common mistake because if someone gets it wrong, it can change the whole sentence meaning.
Ex. Im gonna eat pasta, fruits, meat and vegetables.
Ex2. Martin, who is british, has to go to the party.
Rule: http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htm

Ex. These people are really noisy.
Ex2. This man needs to drive through there.
Rule(8): http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/adjadv.asp

3.- Use of "a" and "an".
Def: "a" is used when the next word starts with a consonant. And we use "an" when the next word starts with a vowel.
Ex. Look! A cat
Ex2. That is an apple.
Rule: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-%22A%22-and-%22An%22-Correctly

4.- Don"t and doesn"t.
Def:  Doesn"t is used with the third person singular, like he she it. Don"t is used for other subjects.
Ex. It doesn"t matter anymore.
Ex2. His glasses don"t help him too much.
Rule: http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000203.htm

5.- Was and were.

Section 3, Task 5


Miami trip

Miami is quite an interesting place to visit, full of nice people and crazy food.
At the moment you"ll get there, you"re going to feel the warm air, just like if you were at the beach.

Then, there is a place in the middle of the city that is full of shops and restaurants that are delicious. There is one of them, that serves the best cheese burgers in the world.
Right next to it, there"s a shop full of cool souvenirs. Things are cheap in that one, I recomend it.
The beach is fabulous. It"s always full, but you can have so much fun.

Those are the best vacations I can imagine. I totally recomend you to go there. The nice people, the best food, cool landmarks. I hopei can go again sometime. 

Section 2, Task 5

Report:

Chess Penalty.

I was seeing achess match and I was very surprised that a player broke a rule and he just kept playing like nothing happened. He moved two pieces in one turn while the other player was distracted. That should totally be penalized. This is not acceptable because a player is just able to move one piece per turn. I think that there should be judge watching the match so no one could do anything that the judge doesn"t see. Even though the player should also apologize beacause he cheated, apart from being penalized by that illegal move. I hope you understand and keep this opinion in mind.

Section 2, Task2

The leisure center

First of all, I will talk about the leisure center. People are not happy with it. It"s just too dirty. Even though it has only a week. You should put more trash cans.

The second problem is that is just too small, considering the things it has. I know it"s not easy to fix that problem, but with some time, you could make it bigger. Or at least more comfortable by taking things out.

Finally, how it looks. It looks bad. Maybe with some trees, plants. Getting some green stuff, so it looks better. It gives a ecologic sense and point of view.

I hope you keep this ideas in mind.

Section 3, Task 3

That Surprise Party.

My friend Fabrizio was going to be fourteen in two days. So i decided to plan a surprise party for him. I talked to his friends about this party and they all agree to help me. We all paid five bucks to get party stuff , like hats, baloons and each one went with their own present. We already had talked with Fabrizio"s parents about this party. They let us use their house, so when Fabrizio came from the mall with his parents that day, we could"ve surprise him.
 Everything was ready. When he came in the house we all jumped and yell at him. He freaked out a little bit, but then smile and thanked us for being such good friends.

Proposal

Preventing Youth Tobacco Use

We will make a change of tobacco being used in schools. We are going to do the job that professionals dont do, helping all kids that are involved with that problems.

Our prevention programme"s iniciative is to make people more aware about this issue. We will first talk with the autorities to start planning everything. As they agree, we will start making posters and flyers to make people understand our proyect. Finally we will try making conferences with the school psychologists.

Family is also involved a little bit in this proyect. We also want to make the parents know about this issue, so they can also help the teens with the problems they are dealing with.

The main problem is that a lot of kids already started using tobacco. So we got to help them quit or at least try to. The other big problem is that some kids want to start at their age, so the purpose is to divert them form that.

The main goals of this big proyect are to create awareness. Get the teens that are already using drugs to make want to quit and help them when they get to that. And also divert the ones that are trying to start

The hard things are going to convince the headmaster of the school to let us do this. Also to make so many posters ans flyers to advice the school.

Even all of our hard work, the only outcome we will get out of this will be the self satisfaction of knowing that we have helped people in trouble and maybe change some lives.

News report

Link http://www.healthcanal.com/public-health-safety/40033-most-north-carolina-high-school-students-not-asked-about-smoking-by-health-care-providers.html

Nearly two thirds of the North Carolina middle school and high school students answer a survey and said that no health care professional have gave them some advice about drugs or at least ask them if they smoke. It is known that their doctors, physicians and parents dont talk about drugs and alcohol with their children. So they should start doing that right now. Many teens that are now trying to quit drugs is because some professional have talk with them and tell them about the consecuences of drugs using. There is one third of the teens in North Carolina that know about drugs consecuences. But there are two thirds of this teens that dont even know what they are dealing with, so eve if you are not a preofessional you may talk with your children about this so they can quit or at least be conscient about what they are doing. Most of the parents dont know what their kids do in their free time. It is half their fault of the teens being in drugs
 The Fact is that actually all the professionals need to improve their work. Talking to more children, going at schools, giving conferences and any other way to help them.

Second Work R.Maculet

This work was pretty decent and I liked it. It didnt had so many letters, which made it simple. The pictures were a bit misplaced but  did make sense with the poster. One grammar mistake which was brutal, but in general it was good. It has a good presentation, good colors, nice pictures and organized.

First Work R.Isla

This work from Roberto Isla was pretty good in general. It had some grammar mistakes,it was a little bit disrupted and the labels were a little bit out of context. But looking at the bright side, it was very startling and it does call the viewer atention. Some good combined colors and big letters make it shine in front of the others.

Tobacco Quitting and Policy

Tobacco Quitting and Policy

If you dont know so much about tobacco, it could turn out dangerous.

Too many kids and teenagers already started using tobacco, so they got to quit. Or at least try. Teachers can help, providing assistance to the students by giving some information about the theme and linked them with programs about quitting tobacco. If you are a tobacco user, this could help you. Also you could even see some representatives in the school thanks to the program. Teachers and assistants from this program agency, often give rewards to students who apply techniques to quit tobacco.

This program is improved by teachers who are prepared to deliver the curriculum properly. Also this teachers make activities to help the kids and teens.

The mayority of tobacco companies try to get to the schools to sell their product. So the schools are or should be off limits to tobacco companies. The problem is that the tobacco companies dont stop trying to get inside the schools, so they make "gifts", like book covers, anti-youth smoking books and money to achieve the program intended. Some poor schools say that they can only offer this tobacco prevention programs by accepting the money and gifts that the companies provide. Yet, most schools dont even try to get funds for this cause, so they accept the help from the companies. That is always a bad deal for the kids and teens.

The schools must regularly evaluate and take stadistics about how much this programhas helped and how many kids and teens have left drugs. This is always useful because it helps to see which areas needs some reinforcement and to persuade others schools to start adopting this program.

The policy about tobacco in schools obviously says that it is ilegal, unless it is used as a medicine. Even that, the companies still try to get into the schools, as promoting them legally. The policy is not that strict, it should really improve and at least try to help the teens to get off drugs and tobacco.

Summing it all up, instead of stopping kids starting, we should help the ones that have already started. Apart from the help the programs give, the teachers also help by helping the kids and being like a tutor for them in this process. The policy also is too soft about the issue, so it should be more strict about teens and tobacco.

Diary Entry of a Roman Constructor

Britain,

  Today, I woke up earlier because my daughter was yelling, then I got ready to go to work. While I was going to the roads, I stopped at the bath house to be a little cleaner. After, I went to the roads with some friends. We needed to use quite a lot of rocks, and dig some ditches also. We built like 1/4 kilometer today! At lunch, I stop at the superfort of the soldiers and ate with them. Then I went to work again. The rocks were almost over, so we needed to go search some at the closest river, I finally went home and slept almost instantaneously of how tired I was.
