Writing Task #5

Do you think boys are easier to care of than girls or vice versa?

Today the world is very dangerous, it is not safe for anybody.
I think that people should care the most of their children, regardless of sex.
People have to care or warn their children about drugs, sex, money, bad people. However, answering the question, I think that taking care of girls is harder than boys. That is because girls always are the weaker sex and women are more likely to be harmed in any way,
Girls are the most beautiful in the world, but personally, If I were to have childrens I would prefer to have only boys. Obviously taking care of them also.

Writing Task #4

What are the benefits/ disadvantages of a smoking ban??

In Costa Rica many people die every year from lung cancer, breathing problems, and others diseases.
I don't know how much this new law can help to prevent or stop people from smoking and prevent these disease.
If this law was created for that reason I think that will not work, because the people have the capacity to decide what to do with their body.
I think that this law can work with the people who smoke anywhere and don't care about the people around. There is a problem, because every single person has the right to be on a clean space and smoke free enviroment.
But I don't think that the smoking ban will help people to quit smoking.

Effects of Stress

Today stress is very common in people's life.

The stress can provoke by work, economic problems, health problems, studies or family.

The effects of stress can range from the simplest ti the most complicated effect.

For example some people lose the hair, have acne in the face or suffer haedache. These are little problems. But on the other side we have the real problems like depression, sikness, divorces, etc.

People should worry about the situations that stress brings, maybe you lose your family, friends, even your work and the most important, maybe you lose your peace or the person that you really are.

You have to take it easy and try to enjoy your life at the most. Remember that stress can be an enemy and destroy your life in a second.

Writing Task #2

Is English important for an individual in your country???

Costa Rica is a country of tourists, every year we are visited by thousands of tourists from different countries. So, for that reason it is very important to know different languages, at least know English very well that's because it is the universal language and with that, maybe you can communicate anywhere and with anyone in the world where you are.

To get a very good job in Costa Rica, most of the time one of the must important requeirements is to speak English at least 90% and if you have another language it is better.

In Costa Rica English is a kind of obligation to know, it does not metter if you are professional or not, you have to know English as much as possible.

Writing Task #1

Advertisers know that consumers often make emotional decisions about buying a product.

When advertisers create ads, they think about many factors to catch people´s attention. It´s not only the product, it´s all the feelings and emotions that you may get if you bye the product.
The ads most of the time sell feelings like happiness and love, and play with the people´s mind. We know that those feelings they are not in things or products but the ads sometimes are very strong in that way and change our mind.
For example, Coca.-Cola at Christmas make very attractive ads showing images or picturas with familys sharing coca-cola and makes us think that with coca-cola we could have a better Christmas, and that is not true.
Or what aboute the pills to lose weight?? they are total lie, but the people believe in that without knowing that you have to do a lot of exercise and eat healthy.
For me Advertisers are very smart, and know very well what the people are looking for, whether to satisfy a necessity or satisfy an emotion or feeling.
