writing prompt July 12

Write a letter to a friend in which you describe one of your life's ambitions. Include and explanation of the steps your will follow to realize your goal.
(separate into paragraphs that highlight the main ideas of your writing.)


1.it's relaxing
2.no stress
3.nobody tell you how to do the things
4.you are in the nature
5.stay with animals
6.it's healthy

Hy Rebecca

I wanted to tell you about my new ambition.It's horse riding.I like it so much because you don't depend on anyone when you know how to treat the animal and you are good at it.You also have variate things to do with the animial,like playing polo or jumping for example.

For me horse riding is very relaxing becouse you can turn off al your thoughts.You don't have to care about nothing,only about the horse and that you enjoy what are you doing.No stress can reach you when you on the horse,so nothing can make you furios or something.
It's very healthy too because you are in nature.Far away from all the contamination produced in the city.It's also a good sport for animal friends because horses are very thankful animals.It's very recomandanded because you are able to train several parts of your body and also helps retarded people.

It's a very enjoyful sport,and you are able to combinate many things,like nature and sports or fun and relax for example.

Romeo and Juliet Act V

Later,Paris went to the church too because he didn't know that his future wife was dead till the moment the Capulets told him.Romeo heard it too and was there before Paris.When Romeo heard that his wife was dead he bought some poison,to kill himself for being with Juliet.When both guys met they started to fight for Juliet.So Romeo was so upset that he killed his enemie.Right after killing Paris,he drunk the poison and put himself right next to Juliet.Friar Lawrence couldn't stop Romeo,the messege he had for him that Juliet wasn't dead didn't arrive.So Juliet,thinking before she drunk the poison,put a knife next to her,just to be sure.When Juliet woke up and saw Romeo and Paris dead she took the knife and killed herself.


Is there anything positive tbat came out of Romeo and Juliet's deaths?

The only positive thing about their deaths is that they are together,and won't be separeted anymore.



Reaction to Act V.

Usually, in dramas the protagonists are going to die,and it has a very sad ending but the protagonists are together and that is what they wanted to be during the whole acts.

1 from US

Scientists unveild the discovery of a mammoth baby,found in the permafrost of north-west Siberia.

The remains of the six-month-old female mammoth were discovered in a remarkable state of preservation on the Yamal peninsula of Russia in May. The specimen is believed to be the best of its kind to date.The animal is thought to have died 10,000 years ago and experts say the approximately four foot tall, 50kg Siberian specimen dates to the end of the last Ice Age, when the great beasts were vanishing off the face of the planet.Scientists hope the animal might yield DNA samples that could be used to clone and effectively resurrect the extinct members of the elephant family.The animal is remarkably well-preserved with it's trunk and eyes still intact. Some of the infant mammoth's fur is also still on the body. While the mammoth has not yielded the kind of DNA that could be used in cloning, scientists remain optimistic.

Writing Prompt

Think about an accomplishment that you are proud of. Write an autobiographical account in which you exaggerate the accomplishment, presenting it as a tall- tale.


Last year I won the champion-ship of Ibiza and Formentera.I didn't ride my own horse,so I'm prouder of my win because it was very difficult to jump with that horse.It was the biggest of all horeses who were in the competion.It was good that he was so tall,so I didn't feel that the jumps were so big.The only bad thing was that my horse is very heavy and so it's more difficult to jump without any points or mistakes.Nobody else had done this before me with that horse.The jumps were huge,also for my horse and smaller horses all refused to jump.So I was the fastes of all with my super heavy horse,and won the competition.

Christina Aguilera essay

Christina Aguilera is a famous music singer.Lots of people admire the star because she is one of the best singers in the business with a very strong voice and really good songs.I like her,becouse she's a celebrity who knows what she wants. She doesn't care about the roumors other people say about her.Christina also is very creative and likes changes in her music and her appearance.

A lot of people criticize Christina becouse she is very open with her sexuality,but other fans love the star for it.She knows what she wants in her life and in her career,for example she fluctuates from pop music to 80's style.She is very innovative and she not only changes her music very often,she also varis her style.Her abillity to stay up to date makes the star able to be popular and stay in the spotlight.Christia's always good for a surprise.

Because Christina is true to herself,that makes her an admirable celebrity.

Speak

Melinda is a young girl who has just changed to highschool.Her family doen't have a very close relationship,and that makes her feel bad.On the first day of school she was the first student in the bus.Her biggest fear was to be the person who will sit alone at the end of the day.Unhopefully it was so at the end of the day.From the first time she was a real outsider.None of her old friends spoke with her.They were andry with Melindo or they have changed so much that they haven't something incoming.Melinda didn't think about a change in the new school.She wanted to be the same as she ever was.In school there were many grups of people.Your fame on school depended on which group you joined.Melinda was treated like an outsider to.At the end of the day,she found one friend.It was a new girl from Ohio.So Heather,Melinda's new friend started to plan which groups they both could join.Melinda started to have problems too with the teachers.Only one was an exeption.Mr.Freeman was the art teacher and the nicest of all.He wasn't like the other teachers and no had any opinion of anybody.It didn't take much time an Melinda thought that no speaking is the best way for her.So she made it real.She only spoke with a few people.Heather,meanwhile has found a group and only used Melinda for works because she did really good at art.One reason of her behaviour is a very bad expirience in summer.A senior boy raped her an hit her.She also has been violed by him.This guy is making Melinda the life impossible in school.He also is the new boyfriend of her ex best friend Rachel.She also has joined an other group and is mad with Melinda because she called the police when that happened in summer.When the prom dance was near,Melinda tried to tell Rachel about that was happened.She felt sorry for Melinda but when she heard that it was her boyfriend she got more mad with Melinda.So at the prom dance,Rachel broke up with Andy,her boyfriend because he tried to hit her too and was too fast for Rachel in going on the relationship.Andy was very humilated and tried to hit Melinda an other time.So she hit him and won him.That was the time when she was a hero for all the girls at school,and wasn't an outsider anymore.




Do you like Melinda? Do you feel sorry for her? What, as her friend, do you think you can do to help her?

I like Melinda and in some way I feel sorry for her,but life is hard and nobody can be similar to other people.There are famous people and people who are less famous.The fame of everyone depence on themselfs,what you do for it,so I don't think that I could help her because everybody has to do what he thinks is best for him or her.


The movie shows better how the life is being an outsider.Many information that is in the book is not shown in the movie,so I think if you make a movie that has a book too,the film should have as much information which is in the book as possible.

Romeo andJuliet III and IV

Open ending

When Sydney saw that his son had a seizure and was in pain,he dind't know what to do.Kill him or not...he already had the pillow in his hands.Sydeny thought that his son was suffering and finally he killed him.The same way like Earl Detraux did.If Shawn hadn't had a seizure at this moment when his father was with him,he wouldn't have killed him.Sidney didn't know that his son wasn't suffering during his seizures,it was a great feeling for him of freedom for his son.

I love my son very much but sometimes it's very difficult to handle with his illness.A lot of things are different,when you have a healthy child.He is like a full time job for me.His father isn't able to deal with him,so he left us 10 years ago.It's a lot of suffering for all of us but he's our child and we love him like the other ones.
