I searched Juan Ordoñez’s blog:

This activity was the one I got my eye on:

QUOTES:

"I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it."
Jonathan Winters

"Music can change the world because it can change people."
Bono

I like the quote of Winters because I think that you don't have to wait for something to happen, you must do everything you have to do to make that happen, to gell all what you want. And the quote about Bono is really good because is you write a song and lyrics about what you think of something that you think that everybody else don't see you can make them see it or understand it just by hearing the music.


My personal opinion and the main ideas in the paragraph:

I find those quotes to be quite inspiring. In this specific paragraph there are two main ideas contained, the first one is that you must move and go get what you want so that you can ultimately obtain it, the first step into completing anything is to say I’m going to get it, have it or do it, and the rest, given that you have a will and a way, will come by itself. The second main idea is how music can change the world, this is true and it can be seen in the inspiring video “we are the world” where you can see how artist gathered, similar to how they did before, to record a song to help the Haiti survivors, making the world a more humble place.

My Opinion About English Eight

English level eight was a fun and tough experience. I learned a lot about redaction, and I expanded my vocabulary to a new level. This will be useful once I hit the work environment.
Certainly searching for the web sites and trying to complete the activities was a hard task form time to time, but ultimately I obtained a satisfying sensation of success and learning.
I learned English since young; and using it to publish, investigating, reading and more importantly redacting was a new way to look and apply it. This experience was worth it and I recommend everyone to constantly try to improve their redaction for it is an essential skill in life.

Final Essay

Light at the end of the tunnel in Venezuela.

Things are looking grim in Venezuela. Our country is going through some rough times where basically everything has something to do with politics. People are starting to forget what is important and what isn’t, its nerve wrecking to see how much, people are willing to sacrifice for politics. And with politics alone, a country cannot prosper.

This article shows just how bad the situation is turning out to be. The head line says “BCV will be able to multiply money to cover government’s expenses”. After reading the article I realized just how terrible and how unethical this measure will be. The fact that the government takes measures like this; shows just how irresponsible the people ruling this country are.

“But why is a bad measure?” the main reason is inflation. The consequence for injecting these funds will be an increase up to 30% in inflation next year. So why would anyone take a measure that would harm the country’s economy in such a bad way? The reason is aberrant, this is an election year and up to 80% of any governments popularity depends on public investment, so we are trading the Venezuelans life quality for a competitive advantage in the upcoming elections. Ethically and economically speaking, this is just wrong.

Inflation is devastating to any country’s economy. It affects pretty much every aspect of our lives, but what gets affected worse are our savings. Without savings there can be no investments which sooner or later generate work for the people. So inflation must be controlled as greatly as possible so that a country can reach it`s economical independence.

But not everything is as bad as it sounds, although things are looking very dark, there is hope. For the most important part of any country are its people. As long as we keep believing that this country can prosper and we don´t fall victims to the ideology that wants to be implanted on us, hope is all but lost. This process is just a phase, and once this phase is over Venezuela will need free minded people to bring back this country to its former glory. Are you one of them?
