I like to read books.

I agree more with the phrase “never judge a book by its cover”, because I do not think that people appearance often reflect who they really are. In fact, I think is a factor of misinterpretation of the people in a society with so much variety in the people nowadays.

The phrase "what you see is what you get" causes a particular problem, the discrimination of the people who do not enter in the spectrum of what is consider good or nice. When other people look bad to us, is nothing more than ours appreciation, and we should not judge them for it.

The inside of the people is more important than the appearance, and thinking that the exterior reflect the interior of the person only affects our vision of him, and prevent us to know that person better, losing a chance to know a friend in any other circumstance.

When we know a person in profundity, we get to understand them, and then we can judge them and get a real appreciation of them, doing this before know them, is not judge them, is just a prejudice, and that only serves to make mistake about the people who is around us.

In conclusion, No, we should never judge a book by its cover, the book can be actually really good if we give it an opportunity and read it, the cover is not a real reason to read it or not. The same thing goes with people. 

This is a series of books that the cover do not seem so good, but are the best books in history. 

Afraid of Technology.

Are people afraid of technology? Some people consider technology a bad thing, for the problems that generate, but are also made a lot of progress and solve difficulties that the people had in their lives.

In the good side, the use of technology made our lives more comfortably and easy, we can do almost anything we want if we have the technology to do that, and there are a lot of advances in medicine, agriculture, transport, communications, etc. Life is much more easy and nice.

In the other hand, the amount of pollution is alarming, the technology is making a lot of garbage, smoke and industrial waste and the societies just throw it away, in the ocean or in the country side, and even the poor areas. This carries a large set of problems, like sickness, destruction of the natural life, or the environment.  

In a Social matter, the technology creates more barriers in the different classes, because the rich people have access to all the technology and their benefits, but the poor people to only a limited part, and even a part that is bad for them, like the wasted or the garbage. These, with the disconnection of people from reality using the social media, are problems that are urgent to solve. 

Technology is a good thing, but is not used in a wise way. We can use it to save lives and make it more easier, but also is making new problems in the environment, in the distribution and in the connection with reality. We have to resolve these problems, but not demonize the use of technology because of them. 

Pollution is a problem that people are becoming increasingly aware of.

Pollution is a problem that people are becoming increasingly aware of. The sickness and poor quality life that this problem produce is affecting more people with the time, and this is what aware the people most,because is getting personally affects for this in the daily life.

The pollution is produced mostly for the industries in the limits of the large cities, that throw the contamination in different ways, like smoke, garbage and industrial waste in the rivers, ocean, desolated areas, the country side, or even in the same city, but in the most poor areas. This affects mostly at poor people, or little producers, like fisherman, farmers, or people living nearby the industry. 

With people getting sick in the place they live only for the pollution that causes the industry nearby, the communities are starting to get preoccupied of the matter, investigating and searching for answers, being medical or legally to the problem that affected them. The fight of the communities against the industry is a great source of conflict in this time, with a large part of the population supporting the people, but with few resources for actually made a change in the system, and a lot of people are dying of the sickness that this produce.

As opposed to what most people believe, the cars are not the first producer of pollution in the world, is the industry system. 

Living in a remote Area!

Living in a remote area can make a person´s life rather challenging. The transport system is horrible, when the bus pass the town only two times in the day. There is no aqueduct system and the people just have drinking water of the wells, and in the summer, of the river. Is very difficult that the farm people in the country side have good education if the children still lives with them, and in the majority of the cases, they become farmers like the rest of the family.

The electric system is now very new, and affects the people that lives nearby, because of the cancer they get and others symptoms, and even with the electricity now, the telephone signal is not good, and often, doesn't work. The most challenging part of living in a remote area is the health system, because if someone does not have a vehicle and a sympton of sickness is shown, or a injury happens, or any case, then living far away of every place of health care is in detrimental of the health of the people.

Key concepts in ELT: Evaluation

This work, apart being short and well organized, and has a list of references that validate the author’s arguments and researches; it doesn’t do very good things to a normal reader or a beginner student.

This is because is unpleasant and it drives the attention of the reader. It uses difficult words and concepts and the students have to read it more than once to understand it, even when is short. It doesn’t use quotes in the right form so the references are useless.

However, the subject of the text is interesting but first you have to have some knowledge about this, and this is a good theme to write an essay.  At the final paragraph the author tell us that the subject of the investigation is still in its infancy, but that we have to investigate more and more for the relevance of the matter.

WE HAVE TO ERASE THE FLUOR IN OUR WATER!

We want to Study the levels of Fluor in the drinking water and how this affect in the behavior of the masses in elections periods.  This investigation will be done for the recent events that happen in the last elections and the change of the water in populated areas, were the people stop voting and stopped to go out of the houses with no reason at all. A study in the water says that the Fluor in the water has been increased in the election times, and the Fluor affects the capacity of the person in making decisions and in their criteria.

This interests us because we love democracy and we cannot support this random behavior in our water, and primarily in our life style and our choices, because this affects our lives.
