WHAT DO YOU THINK?

To the question the miss she gave us.
Is it OK to copy someone else's work and say that you did it?
a) As long as you get a good grade for the homework.
b) Agree, but then write the true anyway.
c) No, because it is dishonest and robs credit from the other person.

I choose the alternative C) No, because it is dishonest and robs credit from the other person.

What do I think about plagiarism



I think that plagiarism is something very common in our world and we can see it everywhere at anytime. But even though, this is unethical because the stealing of knowledge is as serious or even more, than stealing material objects. I believe that the miss published this article because a lot of people wrote in his essays ideas of other people without writing the sources and in order to help us to realize that what we are doing is wrong, she published this on her blog.
Thanks miss :D

Second Argumentative Essay

Video games: leisure, or abuse? is it really causing teens to be violent at school home public places etc.

I believe that this is a very interesting topic since I play videogames and a lot of people play videogames but just as almost all the things on this earth everything needs to be used with responsability and this is not the exception since if you abuse of them (videogames) its very probably that they can cause several problems.

What I think of the interviews

The interviews seemed to be a really fun and interesting way to learn amazing anecdots and experiences about people which is around us such as cousins, brothers, sisters, teachers and many more people just by taking a little time to have a nice conversation.
The interview that liked me the most was mine, since I could have an impression of the big effort she does everyday and I could see another side of her.
I learn that older people always deservers our respect since they have been in this Earth during more time than us and they have seen or lived more things and they have a major knowledge about life.

Topic for Argumentative Essay


I will choose the topic

Interviewer: Haha, yes mom, I´ll improve my grades, at least I´ll try. Well thanks for the intervew I hope that my theacher like it.

Mireya: Anytime you want Pablo, it´s been a pleasure.
