Social network

In today's life is very difficult to do not have access to social networks. I almost can not imagine how the world would be, even though just for a week, if we have not our notebooks and smartphones.

The fact is that there are in social networks a bunch of necessities like jobs, studies, entertainment, communications, etc.. In terms of history, the internet is very young but the numbers of users have been growing increasingly.

I used to think that this evolution is very important to the humankind, eleven that now we can participate in many fields like politics or education in virtual environments. That provides more integrations among people around the world and makes the processes quicker, more dynamic and even fun for the youngers.

Of course, there are some reasons that make some people think differently from me. I understand them, by the reason that in many circumstances it can separate people, making them live just the virtual world and almost forget the exist a real one or even because there are crimes online, which makes many people afraid of using it.

To conclude, in my opinion, it is crucial to know how to divide the time to do not have problems with these important tools. We have to be aware of many good possibilities that it can bring for us and, at the same time, use it consciously.

Defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses

Improving our speaking and writing has to do with how much we know about the language we speak. There is a good reason to study grammar deeper. The present essay intends to do a brief explanation of two interesting and very useful grammar topics: defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses. First of all, we may distinguish when we use these two types of clauses: defining relative clauses are used when some information is important to specify what is being talked about. On the other hand, non-defining relative clauses are used when this information is not relevant or is only additional. An interesting characteristic is that this last one always uses commas. Relative clauses are sometimes referred to as adjective clauses. They are constructed by using relative pronouns such as "that", "which", "who", "whom", "whose" etc. in order to refer to people or things in a sentence. It is important to remember that we do not u...

Short essay - Literature I - 2018.1

Among the interesting short stories we have read so far in this first literature course, many characters caught my attention. In this piece of writing, I will share my opinions about my favorite and least favorite characters from two different authors: Alice Munro and Raymond Carver. Their titles are respectively "Boys and Girls" (1968) and "They're not your husband" (1971). As mentioned in the first paragraph, my favorite character is from Alice Munro's short story "Boys and Girls". I had presented about gender in it one class, and that is one reason, but not the principal motivation for me to approve this character more than the others. The unnamed girl seems to acquire similar attitudes and thoughts as the sexist men around her in the farm do so. Despite that, in the end, she still being polite, respectful when she accepts the condition that her father, here representing men's power, imposes to being "only" a girl. As long as we...
