WRITING PRACTICE As part of a class assignment you have to write about the following topic: We are becoming increasingly dependent on computers. They are used in business, hospitals, crime detection and even to fly planes. What things will they be used in the future? Is this dependence on computers a good thing or should we be more suspicious of their benefits? A few years ago computers were created to make easier the daily life of human beings, in fact the first computers were designed to do complex numerical calculations that would take hours, days and even week for a group of people, so that´s why this amazing machines were evolving until today and they still are doing it. Nowadays computers are in every aspect of our lives, the evolution of them is happening so fast that in the future they will probably displace humans from tasks so important and risky like operate planes, ships, trains, cars with almost cero intervention to eliminate accidents and deaths in every way where transportation is used. The field of medicine is a significant point where computers are aimed, reducing the mortality rate of certain procedures and the treatment of diseases extremely dangerous that today doesn´t have cure or their treatments are painful and long. Another thing where computers could be used is the improvement and increase of human capabilities, making us stronger, faster, more resistance to different environments modifying our DNA structure, maybe we could travel long distances through space and live in other planets, all this is a world of possibilities where the imagination is the limit. All the fields where computers are used and are going to be used are certainly an improvement for human kind, nevertheless all that could be a problem if we don´t create an insurance for us, because the most recent fear of scientists is that computers will develop sort of artificial intelligence and displace us from mundane tasks of our daily lives.

GENERAL WRITING PRACTICE You have had a bank account for a few years. Recently you received a letter from the bank stating that your account is 240 $ overdrawn and that you will be charged 70 $ which will be taken directly from your account. You Know that this information is incorrect. Write a letter to the bank. Explain what has happened and say what you would like them to do about it. Dear Sir, I am writing this letter because recently I received an email saying that I will be charged for an overdrawn in my account. This should be a mistake because this week I lost my wallet in the subway with all my documents, so that means the person who founded it made a purchase. After the incident I went to the police station to report the lost of all my documents, so they gave me certificate as proof to use it as an ID in case that I need it. Then I went to the bank to close all my accounts and credit cards, the lady that attended me said that in a few hours would be solved, so I took it for granted. However, this email shows me that it was not solved at all, please don´t charge me that money I’m getting through a couple of financial problems and I barely can maintain my debts. I would like to recover the overdrawn money, that´s why I am going to send you the certificate received by the police station and the bank as proof. Thank You. Jhon B.

I think I lost it when I was in the bathroom, I took off to wash my hands because I had eaten my lunch the someone called to my door and said it was an emergency, I opened the door and it was the company’s staff saying that there was a problem with the toilet system so I left there and came back to my seat. In that case I can give you the name of the lady who took me out the bathroom, her name was Lucy Miller, maybe she should have seen it after I left. So, if you find it please let me know, it’s very important to me. Thank You. Jhon B.

Ginger and Pickles Once upon a time there was a grocery store where you could buy nearly everything you need, its name was Ginger and Pickles. The shop was managed by two friends, Ginger was a cat and Pickles was a terrier. They had all kind customers but Pickles had to serve the mice because Ginger saw them like a dessert and its mouth made water. On the other way Ginger had to serve rabbits because they were afraid of Pickles every time they went to the store. Tabitha Twitchit was the owner of the other shop in town but she was tighter with his customer than our friends, she didn’t give any credit that’s why they preferred Ginger and Pickles. After a long day of work Ginger and Pickles sat in the back of the shop to eat their dinner, a policeman came to shop and called them, when they were at the counter he wrote a note and gave it to them, Pickles read it and got upset. The next day an envelope came beneath the front door where they were getting bills full of taxes, because Ginger and Pickles gave to their customers a lot of credit they didn’t have enough money to pay it, they had to close the grocery store. Nowadays Ginger is living in the warren and Pickles became a game-keeper, then someone else took care of local busyness of Groceries.

I read an article last week from a Spanish speaker that recommended reading children’s stories to improve both, reading and writing, so this is a little essay about that one I found. The Bogey-Beast This story starts describing the life of a humble woman who barely has enough food to subsist, making errands for her neighbors. One day she found a pot on the road, wondering how could that piece of ornament came to that desolate place, at that precise moment one thought cross her mind, she could maybe use it to put her flowers, but when her eyes looked inside she realized it was full of gold, nervous and anxious couldn't find what to do, after that she covered it and carried it over her shoulders. A few hours passed before she got tired so she laid on the ground to rest, when she woke up the precious gold had been turned into silver but she didn't disappointed at all, just looked the bright side of the situation. She put again her precious treasure on her shoulders and walked to her cottage, after a couple of hours she lost her beath and then laid on the ground to rest, when she woke up the silver turned into iron but as she showed at the first time it happened just looked the good side. At the moment she got to her house the priceless treasure turned into a haystack that she used to keep the front door open, everytime the situation seemed to get worse the woman just laughed and saw the good. PD: i think at the end the haystack turned into a beast, with long ears and a tail..
