Ecuador Earthquake: A Call for Aid

Last week, a terrible earthquake struck Ecuador. Although I don't personally know many people there, this event has been truly devastating. I have visited Ecuador twice, and both experiences were very rewarding. I feel a strong desire to return and help, as it is a country where many people are suffering and dying. I constantly follow the news and feel deep pity for the people and the nation. On one hand, it's a great tragedy, but on the other hand, many buildings were not well-designed, contributing to the disaster's impact. In conclusion, it is imperative that we help the people of Ecuador.

Soap Operas

1. a) FALSE. “Each show will have several different storylines happening at once that continue over several shows.” b) FALSE. “And we should not forget Emmerdale, which is set on a farm in Yorkshire, in the north of England.”

2. a) The word “soap” comes from the early days of these programs. They were mainly for women, who watched them, probably while they were doing the washing. Because of this, the companies that made cleaning products advertised them when soap operas were being aired. That’s where the word comes from.

b) They magnify daily life, with lots of divorces, love affairs, and violent characters that kill other people; in a few words, a histrionic vision of real life.

3. Depict, At once, Continue, Happen.

Classified in English

Written on in English with a size of 2.3 KB

The main characters are three men: Peter Mason, Jackstraw, and Joss. They were working in a weather station in the Arctic when suddenly, they heard a huge noise. They left the weather station to know what had happened. They found out that the noise had been an accident of a plane. When they reached the plane, they fortunately found 10 survivors, but they also found several dead men, with one of them dead by a bullet, not the crash, so it was clear that there were some murderers among all of them.

The rest of the story runs on trying to guess who the murderers are. Peter Mason, Jackstraw, and Joss are men who are experienced in working in extreme conditions, but they have never managed a situation as described in the book. The leader of the three...

Written on in English with a size of 2.44 KB

Hey Eli!

What's up? I'm writing because I have a great idea, and I'd love for you to join! My parents are going on holiday to New York this summer. Why don't you come with us? I know you've never been abroad before, and it'll be boring for me to be alone with my family. You'll only have to pay for your plane fare because my parents have booked a hotel, and there's plenty of space!

We'll be staying on Fifth Avenue for three weeks. My parents are going to hire a car and go sightseeing all over. If we don't feel like going with them, we can spend the day on 14th Street and explore the shops. We'll have a fantastic time! I can't wait to hear what you decide. Write soon!

Love,

Alejandro

Johnny Depp: The Coolest Pirate in Hollywood

Classified in English

Written on in English with a size of 2.09 KB

Johnny Depp - Jack Sparrow, is back in his fifth movie. He was born on board a pirate ship during a typhoon. Johnny wanted Jack Sparrow to be very weird, in a funny way. Jack always looks drunk, but he is like a real hero and the world's coolest pirate. He has a lot of tattoos, for example, a sparrow on his right forearm. He has a perfect pirate accent and decided to imitate Keith Richards' (of the Rolling Stones) London accent. Johnny read a lot about pirates to prepare for the movie and discovered that they were rock stars of their time, so he decided to copy the look of his favorite rockstar, Keith Richards. In the pirate style, he is the one who chose to put all the little objects in Jack's dreadlocks. He also wanted to have gold teeth.
