I have some scars in my soul
I have some marks I can’t ignore
I have my heart but not my blood
I know my name but not my life
I have been sleeping for a while
I cannot feel I want to cry
But when I look at you, baby
I got my feelings back
I feel that I can die
(Chorus x2)
When you look at me,
You set me free, you make me feel,
I can’t resist your eyes your lips,
So kiss me please, and fall in love with me
I want you to be my muse
And reach the stars together
I know that you can be confused
Don’t be afraid because I love you.

Compare contrast essay, Original MP3 players Vs Chinese MP3 players
Original MP3 players Vs Chinese MP3 players
Have you ever wanted to buy an MP3 player? Probably you have been in the situation that you want an MP3 player and you find different kinds of these devices. Suddenly, you see a Chinese device and it seems to be more attractive and cheaper than the other MP3 players. Nowadays you can find that Chinese devices have similar characteristics to famous trademarks like Sony, Apple, Creative, etc. So we are going to compare Chinese MP3 players to famous trademarks MP3 players. To make it clearer we will call these devices original ones.
The first aspect to compare is their physical components. Original MP3 players usually have a big screen with a wide angle of vision and it can be seen by 2 or 3 people. Their battery works from 14 to 52 hours in continuous music playing. In addition, one of the best things about these devices is their storage capacity because they can store from 1 Gigabyte to 160 Gigabytes, which means more than 40,000 songs. On the other hand, a Chinese MP3 player does not have great physical components. Its screen has not a wide angle of vision, and then it can only be seen by one person. Its battery is not the strong point because it only works for 6 hours as maximum. The worst thing about these devices is its storage not only because it only can save up to 16 Gigabytes but also because its memory is fragile and its data easily erase with temperature and voltage changes.
Talking about compatibility there are some differences between these devices. Original MP3 players can play only the most popular formats like MP3, avi-mpeg4, and jpg files. As you can see original devices only admit few file formats but they also come with a software that convert any format in order to be playable by the device. So they are very different to Chinese players because they can play many formats like MP3, MP4, GIF, JPG, MP4, WMA, WAV, etc. But it can be hard to play a different format file because these players do not come with software.
The last aspect to compare between these kinds of MP3 players is their connectivity. Original MP3 players can connect by USB 2.0 which allows fast data transfers. They also have wireless connection which is very useful when you forget the wire and you want to transfer data to other computers and devices. In addition, these devices work in all operative systems which are Windows, Linux, and Mac Os. On the other hand, Chinese MP3 players usually works with USB 1.0 which is makes that the file transfer be slow. In addition, only some of these devices have wireless connection and the data transfer takes double time than the original MP3 players. Finally the strong point about Chinese MP3 players is that they work with all operative systems.
As you can see there are important differences between these two devices as the duration of the battery that is better in an original player, but the compatibility is not. But I think it depends on the needs of the buyer, to choose the best MP3 player. Although Chinese MP3 players are cheaper than original ones, I prefer originals because I have tested both and original ones are easier for me and have longer life duration.

1973 movie review
The Pain Of Silence
1973, the movie directed by Antonino Isordia about 3 real people, is a movie that reflects the lives of these people. Three different lives, but the pain is common between them. As Isordia says, “This is a film that invites people to not get wrong, to care their life”.
"What did I do wrong?"… Rodolfo is the first interviewed person who tells about his life experience with “porros”, he had a hard life and his dream to become a marine biologist just fades. Maria Fernanda, other person you can watch in this documental, is a deranged girl who wants to escape from her life by commit suicide. Finally, Alejandro is an insane character who is hard to understand why he wants to kill his family. The movie is strong, but you need to pay full attention because you may lose some important scenes. Most of the movie is filmed in black and white colors, so it adds drama to the movie, but it can tire you. The good thing about this movie is that there are 3 documentaries; I like that because of the different situations. I got bored with the first one because it is related with politic, but the other two situations were easier to understand for me. Once the movie was finishing, I got surprised to watch the end, because I tough I have already seen the end of the stories. So there was additional information, and I did not saw it coming.
I think this movie is totally different from other documentaries stories I have watched, so it is original, and hard to forget. Taking away some strong scenes, this movie is just great.

Music Sharing (Argumentative Essay)
Have you ever shared music on internet? Many people say it is illegal, because it is piracy. Other people say it is a common activity. The truth is that is has many advantages like sharing music with your friends, get music you can’t find in your country, and listening to a song before you buy it. So it is very useful and it is important to mention that it is not an illegal activity.
To share music on internet is useful because you can share music with your friends around the world. Sometimes you listen to a song on TV or in a movie and you like it, but when you search it in the music store you can’t find it. Then you can ask your friends around the world if someone has that song. Finally he sends you the song by internet. So you can share music with your friends and get music that in other way it would be impossible to get.
Sometimes when you listen to a song you like, you want to buy the full album. However, you can doubt about getting it because you have not listened to the rest of the songs. So you can ask your cyber friends if they have the album. Then someone can send you the full album to check if you like it before you buy it. So, if you did not like the rest of the songs, you could decide to buy only the song you liked. Then, if you do not want to waste your money, you can ask your friends to share music.
On the other hand, some people say it is illegal because it is piracy. But according to the law in article no. 151, it is not a violation of copyright if you don’t earn money with this activity. So when you share music on internet with your friends you do not look for money. Then we can realize that the real piracy is at some stores on the streets where the people earn money selling illegal CD copies. In addition, if we see the activity in a technical way, all the CDs are copies and pirated. The real art of music is in a live concert.
Sharing music on internet is a very useful activity because you can find almost any song you want to listen to. In addition you can listen to a CD before you buy it. Then it is very important to mention that it is not an illegal activity, as long as you share music with your friends in a private way. Despite of these facts, people still say it is not good for music companies, because you don’t allow them to get more incomes. On the other hand according to “elcliche.com”, Tommy Mottola, one of the presidents of Sony music Mexico, has more than 50,000 million of dollars. So do you think they need more money?

Rock Music (exam)
What kind of music do you prefer? I love rock music because of many characteristics. I think rock music can provide a strong effect in people. Although rock music has a lot of subgenres, it has its own essence. Instruments, rhythm and lyrics are important characteristics of rock music.
Rock music has different instruments which are guitar, drums and bass. I think guitar is the most important instrument in rock music. I fell very excited when I listen to a guitar in a rock song, especially if it has distortion. I think it gives a thunderous sound to rock music. Drums are also important because give the tempo to rock music. All the others instruments need to follow the drums, so when this play a powerful solo, the other instruments need to wait the final cymbal crash to continue. In addition bass is very important in a rock song because it gives density to the music. When I am listening to a rock song, I can feel the bass resounding in my body, and it makes me jump.
Another important aspect of rock music is its rhythm. The basic rhythm of rock music has four beats in the drums, over one hundred beats per minute. For this reason rock music is fast, and it stimulates me to move my body. Although rock music is mainly comprised of four beats, some important rock bands dare to play with five, seven or nine beats in their songs. Then it makes rock music to be original. Usually the kick drum is played two or three times in a loop, so it gives strength to the music, and it is possible to dance.
The last important characteristic that makes this genre be special is the lyrics of its songs. The lyrics are very important because they talk about strong feelings, so they can talk about something very annoying, or something you love with all your heart. When I listen to a rock song with good lyrics it fills me with energy, and makes me be more intense. In addition, rock music sometimes allows swear words, for this reason there is no limit to express your feelings.
Rock music is something I love because of its characteristics. It encourages me to express my feelings, to move my body and to be an intense person. I think it is the best music genre in the world. For this reason it has a lot of subgenres, and it can vary a little bit in some aspects, but all those genres have the same essence. Although rock music can be only listened to, it affects all your senses.

My Evolution in Electronic Literacy (Final)
Do you imagine a world without electronic literacy? I consider electronic literacy has been very important in my life. Since I started using electronic devices like computers, I optimized my time at doing homework, and at learning a second language. But I was not born knowing about electronic literacy, it was a long process for me to get involved in that. In addition I am always updating my knowledge about electronic tools.
I still remember the first computer I had; I was very excited and I used it to listen to music and to do homework. Of course I did not have internet; however, it was very fun for me to spend time working on my old computer. Months later, a cybercafé opened near my house, so I got interested in surfing the web. I started chatting with people from different countries, searching some information on Google, and downloading media (images, music, and videos), but it was very expensive to spend time there. I think it was because I did not have a lot of money.
Nowadays I have internet, and it has been very useful in my major. I have used many resources like Word processors, spreadsheets, and slide show designers when I present a topic or just to do homework. In addition I use blogs and forums to do some research about new topics and some aspects of the English language that I do not understand. Also I use internet to download a lot of media, so my computer is always connected to internet because it takes too much time downloading media. It does not means I be always in my computer, I just turn off the monitor and I go out. For these reasons I think electronic literacy is very important nowadays for my education.
I hope to learn more about electronic tools because technology evolves day by day. I imagine in my future applying new technologies and software to teach the English language. I think it will help me to add come fun to my teaching. It would be very funny teaching by webcam, projecting some videos and playing games based on special software. Also I would like to collect some useful electronic books to keep them in a virtual library. Although I do not have a large collection of electronic material now, I know I will have it in a future.
There are many characteristics of electronic literacy that make it important. Internet, word processors, and slideshows, are some important tools that I have used to improve my development in my career. Personally I see it like a world of possibilities, so I really like electronic literacy, because it has been very important in my life, and I am sure it will be important in the future.

Statistics
I Think that Computers, internet, and cell phones, are becoming more popular tan other technologies, because of many reasons. The most important is that these technologies are useful in business and the others not so much. It is important to mention the contrast about the cell phone and a phone line. I think cell phone is being more popular every day because it allows mobility in a conversation in all cities. Also many people see it like a toy with many options like, to take pictures, or play games, and the funny thing is that young people uses more their cell phones for these reasons instead to talk to other people. On the other hand a normal phone line is not as useful because you cannot take it to other place. In addition both services are not very different about costs.
Other important thing to mention is that a computer is a world of possibilities. And it is a million times better in combination with the internet. With this combination you can talk with other people, watch videos and tv channels from other countries and cable channels. So I think that is the reason why this pair is replacing other technologies.
Internet around the world has many differences, but it is hard to consider all the aspects why are so much difference. I think in Mexico many people uses internet for business, however young people only uses internet for some aspects: watch videos, download music and visit social webs.
Other aspect to consider is that Mexico is not a country with advanced technologies. In addition meanwhile most of people in Mexico with internet have a velocity of 1Mb, in Korea the velocity of internet is almost 45 Mb. I think that it is easy to understand that kind of countries are very competitive in business terms. Different from Mexico, that many people have jobs that not require even having a computer.
