What would you do?

"If I were God I wouldn`t give fish to the poor children, I would teach them to fish"

○•◘Euthanasia◘•○

I disagree with the people who think that Euthanasia could be used... The only one who is able to decide on our life is God because He gave us life. Also, although there are many awful cases in which the euthanasia is necessary, there should be laws that regulate its use.

Letter for information!

Orange Entertainment.
Bogota

11 November 2007

Dear Martha Parra.

In this moment I’m searching a place where I can do an English course in order to improve my English level. My sister recommended me this place because she had studied there before, so I would like some more information.

Firstly, I need to know how much the English course, so that I see if I can afford it. Secondly, can you tell me the schedule? It is because if I decide to take this course, I will have to organize my free time.

Finally, I would also like you to send me this informationas soon as possible to my email because I need to make a decision right now.

Yours faithfully,

Luis Gabriel Angel Rodriguez.

A holyday for the forgetness!

Trans. 91 N 129-26
Bogota City
Colombia


La Fontana Hotel.
Bogota.

02 November 2007

Dear Sir Thomas Smith.

My family and I recently were in your hotel in order to rest and enjoy our holyday, but we never thought everything that was going to happen. I’m writing this letter because I want to inform you about some irregularities that we have.

First, when we arrived at the hotel, we left our luggage with the doorman and he took it to the room, but the luggage hadn’t arrived when we wanted to change our clothes. After that, we hadn’t eaten anything because the pizza that I ordered to room service never arrived, so we had to go to the restaurant. Finally the pool hadn’t been cleaned when my father wanted to get into, so he couldn’t swim.

I hope that you can find a solution to these problems so that we will be able to come back, because I think that this kind of situations shouldn’t happen again in your hotel.
Yours faithfully,

Luis Gabriel Angel Rodriguez.

○◘•ºFor our animalsº•◘○

I totally disagree with bullfighting because is very bad how these people kill these poor animals, and they don’t care, they are happy doing it, although they consider it like an art or sport. I think that they are wrong about their actions, because the bulls are alive like them.

Wind of change - Scorpions

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
