Reflection

Developing my electronic portfolio was a great experience and improve my skill in creating a blog and being able to add files online. Working with others was a great advantage because they were able to help me and give feedback. I think that I would want to keep this portfolio so I can keep it as a template for future possible portfolios.

El Ambiente( Formal Writing #3)

Hay muchas problemas en la ambiente. Fuente 1 digo que la mayors problemas son las contaminaciónes de la agua y del los desechos. Tambien hemos producido mucha basura y humop de los coches. La gente botan la basura en el piso y no en la bota de basura. Como tenemos coches, grandes factorías, los aerosols y otras cosa que hacen daño a la ambiente, no es una suprisa que hemos destruido la tierra. Fuente 2 dijo que debemos proteger la biologia de la tierra. Tambien dijo que transporte de coasas en barco es peligroso. Se puede mirar en el pasado que barcos se pueden chocar y pueden contaminar el ambiente Los dos fuentes cuentan de la misma tema. La tema es que hay una mayor problema ambiental, no solo en la comunidad, pero en todo la tierra. Tenemos que recuperar la tierra.

Paz

El Día Internacional de Paz es el 21 de septiembre. Se celebran en Colombia puero no son muchas calles que hablan de paz. Algunos no saben el día internacional a la paz en Colombia. El conflicto tiene mucha violencia, que unos profesores dicen que es como los conflictos de Sudan o Iraq(Fuente 2). En Colombia se parace imposible por que la problema es la estructura social. Con muchas lágrimas y miedos las personas están cansados de estó. La tema no es la paz para algunas personas. “Si no hubiera terrorismo y fuerzas armadas existiría la paz”(Fuente 1).
