1.11 My opinion about creativity and schools

Creativity and Education are two thinks that need to be together, you can have knowledge, but if you don't have the creativity to show it with a new perspective or new way you can't stand out, thus not being better than a person who does it. In my humble opinion, school are doing a great job (depending on the school) with childs, the problem is that they don't give creativity that much importance, aligning their knowledge and perspective. For example, in Arts class, teachers usually say what they are gonna do instead of leaving the kid improvise and find his own style and creativity. The simple concept of having an own style or personality with knowledge can make child future and our own future better. Imagine in 2070 a young person with a educated creativity finding a solution to pollution, cancer, or mental disorders. Why do art eras happened? Because artists had their own creativity, creating work of art that brought new art eras like Michelangelo with renaissance. I...

1.10 Analysis of a TED talk

What is the topic of the TED talk? Main Idea? When does the speaker introduce the idea? How? The topic of the TED talk is the education, being the main idea the education restricting childs creativity. The speaker introduce the topic at the beginning saying that creativy is as important as education, therefore, being at the same level of importance What are the means of transport used by the speaker to convince us that his opinion is right? Provide examples. He use humour in order to convince the crowd with satire. He also gives personal experiences with a friend of him who is dancer and millionare thanks to her creativity, but for me the most important concept is the use of humour to persuade crowd. What is the speaker conclusion? How does he conclude? He makes a brief summary, restating his opinion. 

1.9 Opinion paragraph: internet for refugees

Internet is a part of our lifes nowadays, and can be useful for refugees, but also it can be such a problem. On one hand, with internet they can comunicate with their family, being more peaceful, and for an instance not thinking about them. There are other uses that refugees can give to internet, like looking for a job in order to have a wage and stability. Due to their minimum knowledge about the language of the country they are staying on, they could have a translator to communicate with people. On the other hand, we have little problems that can affect refugees situation, like knowing their private information or only spending time on the Internet instead doing anything worth like working or being in contact with other refugees. (I couldn't think about more problems, but this is my whole opinion because I don't know that mcuh about the topic

1.8 Descriptive Paragraph: How to stop procastinating

Procastinating, is a problem that a big amount of people have. It consists in postponing your homeworks, works, etc; to other moment, because you may think that is fast and you can do it in other moment. The fact is that days passes and on the last day you have to do it all, not doing it because there are much work to do, due to procastinating. Regardless, there were procastinating people that could surpass it, having a better organization. In addition, some people say that this could be a mental issue or a phychological disorder. The answer to this conmcepts people say about procastinating is all lies, I've been a procastinating person myself, the reason wasn't a mental issue, it was because I'm a very lazy person, and I always do it all at last moment. Finally, procastinating can be surpassed by the own person, but it could be hard, so you need to be focus in your objetives.
