All people enjoy stories. Stories have existed since the man started to talk. There are big classifications for stories like romantic stories, horror stories, science-fiction stories, etc. also, there are different ways to tell a story, for example from a grand father to his grand son (orally), from a movie (visually), and form a newspaper or magazine. Novels are one of the most famous stories and there are two ways in which the people can enjoy them; from books or TV. There are some differences between the novels (book’s stories) and soup operas (TV’s stories), the most important are schedule and place, audience, and success.

Soup operas were made for telling stories but they limit your imagination. Soup operas are very strict because they are transmitted by the TV and programmed for certain time. The schedule of soup operas is usually from Monday to Friday and they last one hour, so if you want to have fun watching a soup opera you need to be conscious that you have to sit down in your couch and spend one hour in front of your TV during from the whole week and for months. Some people could think that soup operas are for people of all ages because they are transmitted during the evening but that is not the reality because most of the content’s soup operas have explicit images that children should watch; for this reason are soup operas that are specially made for children. That is true that the soup operas are very popular in our culture because a lot of people prefer spend the whole day in front of the TV, and also because the stories are dramatic stories and the people could feel identify with some of the characters.

Written novels are the best way to tell stories for excellence. Written novels are very flexible because they do not have schedule, you decide when you want to read it and in which place you want to do it, so you could be in the bus waiting to arrive to your destiny while you have fun just carrying a book, and you can read a written novels during a week. Written novels can be read for people from all ages because they are a lot of genders and for all moods and likes for example romantic, drama, horror or science fiction. Written novels were very popular some years ago but the technology and the invention of the radio and the television displaced them to the obscurity.

Nowadays soup operas are the principal mains and the most popular way to tell a story. One of the most major reasons is that people prefer to sit down and see the life pass in front of the TV. Sometimes we do not realize that the written novels are better for us because they let our imagination flies. Some soup operas or other kind of stories like movies were inspired in written novels. With written novels you can decide the type of story you want to read and get fun and also the time and place where you will do it.

Even Catholics are using contraceptives

The use of contraceptives is healthy. Contraceptives are defined as methods that are used to prevent pregnancy. There are different kinds of contraceptives in the market and they are use for females and male. Oral contraceptives help to control childbirth of thousand of babies, but this kind of contraceptives do not take care of sexual transmitted infection as condoms do. Every person with an active sexual life who wants to prevent a pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease should use contraceptives.

The first reason to promote the use of contraceptives is that they prevent an unwanted pregnancy. In case of teenagers, contraceptives prevent they become young parents and avoid they become responsible to a human being even when they can not be responsible to themselves. Also they avoid complication during pregnancy because their bodies are not completely developed. Some people could take the decision to abort and it could have risk, because the woman could have some complication even death. In case of couples, they can control the childbirth and decide about it when they consider that is the best moment to have children.

A second reason to use contraceptives is that they prevent STD. There are a lot of contraceptives, but just a few of them protect people from infections.

The amazing trip to Chicago started before I took the plane. I had to earn every shining small coin that arrived to my pocket to finance this adventure in a new country. During five eternal weeks I was a foreigner in this windy city. I stayed with a very kind and united family, the family of my mom’s sister, but at the same time was a strange family for my brother and me. This incredible this trip was loaded with unimaginable experience and striking sightseeing, like Lake Michigan, Navy Pier, and Sky deck.

The first place that I wanted to know was the Michigan Lake. I asked my aunt if we could visit this emblematic place of Chicago, and I did not have to ask it twice. My aunt, cousins, brother, and I traveled during twenty minutes by the driveway. When we arrived to the city, we passed next to the lake and the first impression was immensity dressing blue. We had to walk during twenty minutes to arrive to the artificial beach. When I was looking at the lake I removed my dirty sneakers and I walked above the silky and white sand. I stand for a couple of minutes at the shire of the lake because I was looking at that clean and blue water. Finally, I decided to get in the lake but when my finger toe touched the water I regretted immediately, the water was not cool, it was freezing.

The second place that was one of the most amazing during the trip was Navy Pier. This place was very crowded and you could see people every where. This place was like a combination of a dock and an amusement park. We walked along all Navy Pier and we could enjoy the big lake, refreshing lemonade and a windy and cool evening. We bought tickets for the Ferris wheel. This ride was relaxing and you had two beautiful views, on the right side was the city of Chicago and on the left was the lake. When the ride finished we walked to choose a good place to observe the fire works. At 9: 30, a ship stopped in the middle of the lake just in front of my eyes, and the show started. During twenty minutes I was astonished, the explosion sounded next to my ears and the smell of the sulphur was the perfect complement. This show was full of different colors and shapes.

The third place and the most extraordinary place that I loved in Chicago was the Sky deck, this is the highest building in Chicago and it has 103 floors. This building is one of the most visited places in Chicago. The last floor, a touristic place, shows a 180° view, in other words, you can appreciate the city from north to south and from east to west. The most stunning of this building was a balcony made of glass. When I reached this balcony I got frozen, I have to say that I was not scared I was in shock , I felt I was flying above this gorgeous city.

This trip was one of the most important experiences that would be conserved on my mind and heart for the rest of my life, not only because I could visit amazing sightseeing but also I met my family. I saw a lot of places built by men and nature places that I never imagined. This city is an excellent place to spend holidays.

22 years living

22 years could be a long period of time but it is not for a live. My name is Cecilia de los Milagros Lopez Martinez and thanks to Francisco Lopez and Ma. Eugenia I started to breathe in September 12th of 1989. I was born in the city of the quarry, Zacatecas city but I have spent my childhood, teenage and part of my young adult in a small town called Ojocaliente were the tunas and grapes are abundant.

I had a nice childhood. I always remember my grandmother’s yard and the local aquatic park. The yard was always full of laughs and kids. Those kids were my cousins and together, we used to spend our Sunday afternoons in that yard. We always were playing games and making competences of boys vs. girls, and also asking to our aunts and uncles for our pocket money. The days in the aquatic park were full of sun and heat. I used to go with my family and after swimming in all the pools we used to eat ham sandwiches.

My young adult was dived into two cities. These cities are Zacatecas and Aguascalientes, and they are at the same distance of my hometown. When I finished high school, I decided study gastronomy in Zacatecas city. Even though I learned a lot of interesting things related with food, met two of my best friends, and had a good time in Zacatecas city, I realized that it was not my style of living and finally, I decided to move to Aguascalientes city to study ELT. I have always thought that the fate puts you in the correct place and that is the reason because of I am where I am.

The time flies and in 24 hours the future becomes present. My plans for the future are die in peace, and I only would die in peace if I felt fulfilled. I am the kind of person who works hard for getting what I really want and the first step to feel me fulfilled is finish my career. Then, I would like to start working, I would like to save money to support myself and save money for the things I want. Also, I would like to start a master degree to be a well prepared professional person and do good deeds for my community.

I have lived 22 years. There are a lot of things that can happen in 22 years. I have done a lot of things and I need and want to do more. My life has given me good moments, persons, and experiences to remember, but also it has given to me bad things, and with out these bad things life would not be life, because bad things make us stronger and they prepared us for the next events. I thank God because He has given me 22 years of life and I ask Him for more years.
