Editor say about...

Marriage vows    People shouldn't be allowed...
  • to get married untik they have raken a marriage preparation course.
  • to get a divorce until they have been married for 10 years.
  • to marry before the age of 21.
 In these days couples who are engaged , most of them are young children under 21 , and possibly 50% of them already pregnant , so enter marriage for the commitment you have sealed with the sexual act , but the another 50 % are couples who have years of relationship and have taken " marital courses " where they are asked as a requirement for marriage by the church.  

Although , to obtain a divorce need not have been 5 , 10, 15 years or more , the law says you can annul a marriage as long as there is consummated the marriage , in the event that such an act has been performed the process can be performed divorce but with a period of time, paper , etc. .

In terms of age , according to statistics , marry after the age 21-25 years is appropriate , because in these ages are or have finished their studies and work possible , as well as in women of 23 years, her body and
is in perfect condition to get to have sex without complications , unlike the young under 21 .


Education   A law should be passed...
  • that prohibits students from quitting school before tha age of 18.
  • to make everyone learn at least two foreing languages.
  • to ban examinations for students under 16.
With fashion children grow , the opportunity to graduate early is unavoidable, as there are some young people who have not yet turned 18 years old and are in a school within walking distance to finish , and is imminent .
These days, it is not enough to only have English language as it is required to know as much as 80% in oral and written , are now being implemented various language courses such as French, Italian , Portuguese , Mandarin Chinese , Japanese , among others , but this is depending on the type of school , whether public or private.
The tests were implemented to have knowledge of information capture and recognition that they are providing students to determine their level of understanding , and is a necessary tool to verify and rectify the teaching mode that implements the master.Students from kindergarten to universities they have applied tests, but obviously there are complaints so you get information on how this level of knowledge and skill.


Driving   A law should be passed...
  • to prevent people over 70 from driving vehicle
  • to ban high fees for car insurance for young people.
  • to stop companies from making cars that go faster than the speed limit. 

 The people who are 70 years old don't have to drive because at that age tend to have various disabilities that make it difficult to see, hear and react faster than a young person or adult.
 The insurances companies really need to focus in the young people, because they obtained them
 drive licences and it would be an opportunnity for them and for the youngs. And the companies need to stop to making cars that go faster, even the people in this days choose the fastest car just for the type of car, model, company, etc. But, may be the law  point more to the speed that the car type that manufacture companies, since people are the step on the pedal, not the company that makes it.

2. Speaking and writing p.51

Letters to the Editor...*

1.- Do you thing the topic of the article is relevant? Well, my point of this article when I saw it, I couldn´t related with the text, because it’s talk about that the people like to used them phones in different places but, they disregard the true about how the other people using the internet can use them photos for different reasons. 

2.- Are you concerned about the issues it raises? Absually, this letter it makes me think about how and what places I can take a pictures, because I do it just for fun and remember that moment, but yes, it makes me feel worry about it but obviesly, I'm going to have more care about it. it's not fear it's just need wariness about my pictures.

3.- Have you ever seen anyone use a cam phone inappropriately? No, I have never seen anyone used it phone inappropiately.

4.- What should be done to prevent people from misusing cam phones? May be, the editor could writte about a case that has connection with this topic,  research about the person who was implicated, what did happend with she or he, etc, etc, etc. I think if the people read about tru cases, it could be a opportunity to remove tha band of the eyes and see the reality that what is happening in the world or around us.


Lesson B.

A letter to the editor...

Appreciated Edito of "CAM PHONE, GO HOMES!"

This article I really enjoy it and appreciat the reason that you write about this topic; when I read the article, I didn't understand but the text was to really clear about how the people enjoy taking photos with them phones in different places around the world, even in the streets, schools, public bathrooms, anywhere around. But, the true is that whit the internet in this days is in anywhere and can used it for upload pictures inmediatly to FB and anybody can see them pictures and used it for other reason.

I think the biggest problem of this is that the people don't respect the places that is forbidden to take pictures as the classroom also, because It could be exploit the picture and could misinterpret and produce a problem with the person or people that are in the picture.
Since the internet is in our hands, the young people start using it for upload different kind of think as a porn, people getting high and any other thinks. I think is to bad and pity see how the people damage their reputation with innocent game that in the end it become in personal problems.

I used my cam phone propperly but your article makes me think about it and I will have more care.*
