WELCOME TO ENGLISH IV!

Hello old and new classmates!
I hope you enjoy as much as I do this course, because besides learning the language, we are able to learn how to use the contemporary electronic comunication devices and gadgets.

Gun control and crime: Does the legal possession of a firearm deter crime or simple cause more violence?

Human beings have developed arms to defend themselves since the Stone Age. For instance, when cavemen and prehistoric humans felt threatened from an animal or another human used rocks and wood sticks to attack those threats. In short, they used skills and weapons to attack and defend themselves.
Humans have developed a lot of intelligence since then. In my view, we are more civilized, but some leaders have used the rules humans developed for their own benefit. This is not right. In particular, when countries can´t provide security to it´s nationals.
If we are intelligent enough to create a firearm. Then, we are intelligent and responsible enough to use it adequately. I agree that every citizen of the world should have a firearm at home, learn how to use it and defend family and home from other human or animal threats. In conclusion, if the governors can´t help us defend ourselves. Who will?

ENGLISH LANGUAGE MUST BE MANDATORY ON MEXICAN UNIVERSITIES.

The world has changed a lot the past decade. The term "Globalization" is a word we use and hear every single day. Moreover, is used by everyone in the world. It is known that the english language is used in a lot of the companies in the world. Therefore, future employees of these companies must learn the language. I think that english as second language must be mandatory, and a third language must be voluntary. Students must have the basic tools during primary, and high school. By contrast, during University must be specialized on profesional themes and vocabulary. If we want to improve our Country, we must support laws that make english language mandatory for all Universities.

Well, forget about making a better Country. Let's think about ourselves. We need the tools to progress in our education and be candidates for jobs well paid. Moreover, with progress in our lives. If we are not happy with the job we are doing, then we will not be happy in our lives. We must have the proper education and preparation for the world out there, and we need the english language mandatory in all Universities.

5 sentences.

1.- I love my kids who are the light of my life.
2.- My parents like movies that are not terror.
3.- I like to travel to Cancun which is the best beach in the Caribbean.
4.- I like to think about beautiful things which keep myself away from stress.
5.- The kids are playing in the garden wich has a nice green grass.

SKIMMING

This method was hard, and difficult. Well, some articles are hard to understand and the author´s type of writing is trully the most important thing on following the idea by skimming.
I think that journal articles, or quick notes are better to understand using the "fast-reading" techniques. Long articles or stories must be harder to follow and to completely understand the meaning of the text.
I did not cheated at all. I just chose the right articles to achieve the purpose of this weeks e-tivity. The articles I chose were simple and according to my theory, the right ones to practice skimming.
I felt comfortable doing the excersise and "quick-reading" the articles. But I must say, it was hard as well. I hope I am doing a good job in this course and look forward to complete it.

SCANNING

At first, the instructions were kind of confusing on the discussion board. It is completely important that you are given the things (words) you want to look for in the scanning... if not will be completely dificult to focus your view in something if you are reading quickly the article.
Then when I focused my mind in certain percentages and questions from the instructions, I catched it perfectly. I started answering the questions and noting the percentage meanings. Now I know that I can use SCANNING when I need certain information and do not need to read an entire document. I know also, that I will not use SCANNING if I read a novel or a science fiction book, because I will not understand anything in the book. Remember to use scanning only when you need to know certain information, not when you want to get the complete idea of a novel or a book.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to my blog.

Here we will be able to share some information to make internet friendship more personal.

I am 31 years old and I will become a lawyer by the end of the year. If you have any legal problems, please contact me and I will help you. Right now I am not working, but I would love to work on a transnational law firm, like KPMG. My main area of interest is "criminal law". People have told me that is very difficult, because you have to deal with very bad people, also our legal system is very corrupt.

My personal goal is to help other lawyers and the people involved in a law suit to stop the corruption of the system. I know that if we start little by little, we will soon take bigger steps and change completely the bad image we have as "Corrupt Mexicans" and become a leader country in the World.
