Dear Pablo,

Hello, how are you? I’ m writing you this letter because I want to tell you a thing that I discovered yesterday. I was in The Mall Marina Arauco with some friends and because we were hungry, we decided to visit the new candy shop of the mal. I bought only one chocolate and I calculated that the chocolate was ten percent more expensive than any other chocolate. Then, I saw in the paper a certification label that said was called “Fairtrade Mark”. When I was back home I investigated what was that and then I understand what was that: Fairtrade Mark is a certification label for products sourced from the producers in developing countries. Fairtrade has as purpose, benefit the poor  people and marginalized workers by selling products ten percent more expensive and using that money to help them, giving them loans, Works, better education etc. This was created in the Netherlands in the late 1980s, in 1988 in Mexico and 1992 in the UK.  For a product to display the Faithrade Mark it must meet international Fairtrade standards whic are set by international certification body Fairtrade Labelling Organisations. You should be thinking, why I am telling you this? Because I liked very much the purpose of this company and I want to make a big change in this world and help these company, telling you these and telling this to all the people posible,  so we can promote their products. I want you to tell this to your friends and family to do a big change

Your good friend,

Franco

Photo Description Invictus

In this photo you can see a lot of black kids with the captain of the rugby selection with a rugby ball. In that scene of the movie by order of the president Nelson Mandela, the rugby selection of South Africa went to teach rugby in the poor and black poblation. These black kids did not know anything about this sport because rugby was a white`s sport, that is to say that it was a sport only watched by the white people and the black people that used to the stadium was to support the other team. When the team arrived the black kids only say Hi and hugged Chester, the only black player on South Africa. The black kids had a very poor types of clothes, broken shirts and shorts that were given by the help centers. The place was a field of football in a very bad condition, wit poor grass. The rugby team reached them very well and if you look in their expressions we could see they were happy because learning a new sport

My Collar Bone Fracture

Dear Juan,

Hello, how are you? I am writing this letter to you because I want to tell you the story about how I fractured my collar bone.

Well, this was two years ago in a rugby match against the generation that actually is in second media. We were losing for a lot and in the second half the fly tackled me and I fell down in a very bad way on my shoulder. It hurt me a lot. The nurse took me immediately away from the field to the hospital for kids "Asomel". They explained to me what had happened: I had a collar bone fracture and I was not going to play any sport6 in 2 months. It was October, I was not going to play in the whole year. That made me feel sad because I love doing sports but well, that's the way life is. Well that was my story and now I want you to tell me about you when you receive this letter

Invictus

Invictus (2009)
MPAA Rating: PG 13
Reviewed by Franco Schiaffino on October 30th, 2014
Genre: Sports, Drama
With: Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Distributor: Warner Bros Pictures

Invictus is a great movie released on 2009 starred by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon and directed by the famous and great director Clint Eastwood. Basically is about the union of two races throughout rugby. "The times changes, we need to change as well" are some of the most shocking phrases of the captain François Pienaar "Matt Damon".

This director based this movie and was inspired by the real case of south Africa that was governed by a cruel and racist dictator that gave all the rights to the white people, that were the minority and removed all the rights to the black people that were the great majority. Obviously, it originated protester groups of black people that wanted to have the same rights than the whites. All that people that were part of these groups were condoned to jail. In these groups the lider was Nelson Mandela, who was condoned for 27 years.

And in this part is when the movie starts. Mandela's conviction was finishes. He postulated to president and won the elections. Both black and white people thought that the black revenge was starting, but no. Mandela wanted the union of these two races. And he knew perfectly how: by the rugby. The rugby was a white's sport. Only the white people would go to the stadium to support "The Wallabies" and the people that would go to the stadium, would go to support the other team. Mandela with a lot of ways, achieved the union of the two race and something else.

If I would have to evaluate in the grading scale of 1 to 11, I would put it 11. This is a movie very recommendable and in my opinion, necessary to watch. I think that because the story of the movie is so good, the actors too, the sound effects too and most important because when you finish watching it your view of the life and of the other people, changes a lot.

Global Warming Essay

In this essay  I will be referring to one of the biggest problems of today: Global Warming.In my opinion, this is the most significant problem of today in the world. This is not affecting us today, but in a couple of years, believe me it will.

In the voice of Deborah White, the polar ice caps of fresh water will melt in the ocean and will be mixed with salt-water and this polar ice caps will lose their fresh water and the responsible of yhis will be the global warming. This is a process that we have to stop now, the clean and fresh water in this moment is a problem because in the moment that we will need that water, we are going to have to suffer the concecuences.

Using the ideas of the Union Of Concerned Scientists, some of the solutions for the Global Warming and their concecuences can be stop using fossil fuel power plants and use renewable energy such as wint energy or hydroelectric energy. "Another way is reducing desforestation and forest degradation and by making our food production practices more sustainable".I believe that if we follow these simple steps we can end with this problem.

I know that you will say that these steps are too expensive and it are changes that are more necessary and cheaper well, I will say to you that it doesn't, exist a change more necessary and cheaper, well I will say to you that it doesn't exist a change more necessary, in my opinion, of course. As I said, Global warming is something that in some years can finish with the humanity. Now, you will say that it exists something more necessary that save your life?

In conclusion, Global Warming is a problem that with their effects: the melting of fresh wates polar ice caps in the ocean of salt water can end withe humanity or at least change it, but is not too late, we can solve it, using renewable energy and stoping the deforestation. The change is in your hands

1) Other Effects Of The Global Warming

 The most pressing problems include:

     Rising sea levels, which lead to flooding and displacement and death of possibly millions of people.

·         Per the Inconvenient Truth website, "Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide."

·         Fresh-water polar ice caps melting into salt-water oceans alter the ocean gulf-stream patterns that regulate temperatures. This process leads to major temperature-pattern changes around Earth.

·         The changing landscapes and higher temperatures in polar regions will endanger countless animal and plant species, and irretreivably alter the balance of the ecosystem.

·         Ice caps and glaciers serve as sunlight reflectors, bouncing high-temperature sun rays back into space and away from Earth. When these natural structures have diminished greatly or vanished, Earth will be further warmed as the darker oceans absorb much of the sun ray heat.

2)The Solutions

Boosting energy efficiency: The energy used to power, heat, and cool our homes, businesses, and industries is the single largest contributor to global warming. Energy efficiency technologies allow us to use less energy to get the same—or higher—level of production, service, and comfort. This approach has vast potential to save both energy and money, and can be deployed quickly.

• Phasing out fossil fuel electricity: Dramatically reducing our use of fossil fuels—especially carbon-intensive coal—is essential to tackle climate change. There are many ways to begin this process. Key action steps include: not building any new coal-burning power plants, initiating a phased shutdown of coal plants starting with the oldest and dirtiest, and capturing and storing carbon emissions from power plants. While it may sound like science fiction, the technology exists to store carbon emissions underground. The technology has not been deployed on a large scale or proven to be safe and permanent, but it has been demonstrated in other contexts such as oil and natural gas recovery. Demonstration projects to test the viability and costs of this technology for power plant emissions are worth pursuing.
• Managing forests and agriculture: Taken together, tropical deforestation and emissions from agriculture represent nearly 30 percent of the world's heat-trapping emissions. We can fight global warming by reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and by making our food production practices more sustainable.

• Developing and deploying new low-carbon and zero-carbon technologies: Research into and development of the next generation of low-carbon technologies will be critical to deep mid-century reductions in global emissions. Current research on battery technology, new materials for solar cells, harnessing energy from novel sources like bacteria and algae, and other innovative areas could provide important breakthroughs.

3)Global Warming Impacts

Global warming is already having significant and costly effects on our climate, our health, and our environment.

Global warming has serious worldwide implications, though the type and magnitude of local effects varies considerably by region. This page highlights the consequences of global warming on a broad level.

Unless we take immediate action to reduce global warming emissions, these impacts will continue to intensify, grow ever more costly and damaging, and increasingly affect the entire planet — including you, your community, and your family.

Accelerating Sea Level Rise and Increased Coastal Flooding

Average global sea level has increased eight inches since 1880, but is rising much faster on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of Mexico. Global warming is nowaccelerating the rate of sea level rise, increasing flooding risks to low-lying communities and high-risk coastal properties whose development has been encouraged by today's flood insurance system.
