I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT...

NEW YORK: The city that never sleeps

I have always wanted to visit New York because I think that the city is beautiful and interesting. There are many buildings that I would like to visit, such as Empire State Building, and interesting places such as Central Park, Times Square and the Statue of Liberty. These places are amazing. As there are many cultures that make up the city, New York offers tastes from all around the world, satisfying any craving at any time of day. I would like to go shopping, as there are many shops everywhere, it will be difficult to choose where to start. And at the night, the city must be amazing! Party, party and more party! hahaha... I have family there, they have lived there since many years ago, and they tell me that New York is amazing, so I am secure that I will be there soon I hope so. 

GALÁPAGOS ISLANDS

There is a amazing place that I would like to visit. That place is Galápagos Islands that are situated in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 600 miles (1000km) west of the Ecuadorian mainland. I would go there with my family, I have never been there, but I guess that being there must be exciting, because is a full place of exotic animals and abundant vegetation. Galápagos Islands are a province of Ecuador, whose capital is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, in San Cristóbal island.There are nineteen islands and the surrounding marine reserve have been called ''living museum and showcase of evolution''. Ongoing seismic and volcanic activity reflects the processes that formed the islands. These processes, together with the extreme isolation of the islands, led to the development of unsual animal life, such as the land iguana, the famous giant tortoise and the many types of finch. Take a photo with a giant tortoise must be exciting! I wish the giant tortoises could speak, they have seen many interesting things throughout their live. The convergence of three major oceanic currents brings an incredible mix of life to Galápagos.

Did you know that the islands inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection following his visit in 1835? Me, as ecuadorian, this is a privilige! Now that you know all this, would you like to visit Galápagos Islands? 

Opinion Paragraphs

NO TO ABUSE ANIMAL

The animals are not toys or objetcs. Do not abuse them, they feel the same way you feel about being abused. 

Nowadays, many people, sadly, enjoy hitting animals, this people do not have feelings. Many animals are abandoned and abused every day by inrresponsable people. Maybe because their owners got bored of them, or because they enjoy doing this. It is increasingly common to see different animals on the streets like turtles, lizards, rabbits, cats and other malnourished exotic animals. In particular, the abuse animal is the most despicable that a human can do to an animal. We invaded their home, we are destroying their world, to sum up, we are guilty, and if they defend themselves we think that they are guilty, we are not. For this reason, all animals must be loved, respected and looked after. I love the animals and I defend their rights as animals. Do not you?

Description: Marianela

     When I met her I thought that she was a normal person. I was wrong. She is the craziest girl of the world! but not literally... poor. I met her in the school three years ago. She is Marianela, my best friend! She is so funny and I always laugh when I am with her. I call her Nely. Nely is taller than I am so I always ask her how is the weather there. She never answer me, but she hit me, and I don not know why, I just wanted to know. She is so weird. We chat everyday and now that I think about it... We do not talk anything serious because all the time is about jokes and funny photos. I love being with her! She is like my little sister and I love her so much! 

Giant's causeway

   

     This amazing place is called Giant's causeway. This picture makes me feel relaxed because I see this picture and I image the sound of wides, I ear the wind... This picture is a relaxing place. Giant's causeway is a beautiful place where the sea breaks violently on the basalt columns.

Guernica, Picasso.

    

     This painting makes me feel inconformable, sadness, nostalgia, even pain,.. because it has many histories because of Spanish Civil War. At my left-hand there is a woman with a child in her hands, probably her son. She is suffering. She makes me feel the same, pain. I can feel the shoutings, cryins, sadness, even loneliness of those children who because of the war are orphans. The middle of the painting makes me feel confusion because all is mixed and it has strange forms and it is difficult to see what is there. In general, Guernica has a grand symbolic content and strange forms which I think that thanks to them you can understand what happened in Spain in that time.
