Discussion about in vitro fertilisation

Manri: have you heard about this new technique that allows couples to choose the sex, eye colour, hair colour, etc. Its called in vitro ferrilisation, I am totally against it, but how about you?

Acho: I am pro in vitro fertilisation because couples get the chance to choose how they want their children to look, also it allows people who struggle having babies to do it.

Manri: That's a good point, but i am talking about the people who can perfectly have babies but take the unethical decision of using this process to choose how they want their child to look like, that is wrong, yo can not decide what you get, this ain't build-a-baby dot com

Acho: that is a well stated point of view, but with this process couples can ensure that their child won't have mentally or physical complications wich will maybe won't let him have a fully active life of limitations in its future

Manri: Oh sorry I have to go, this conversation was very interesting 

Acho: ok.. Bye

letter corrected

dear Ali:
I need to tell you a significant fact that happened in the day of the kite tournament. everything starts in the tournament. I helped Amir. He was a finalist, the final was difficult for Amir, he had to cut a blue kite. Finally he cut it and won. I said to Amir that I will go for the blue kite to win the trophy of honor. I knew where the kite would fall. so I catched the kite but Assef, wali and kamal want the kite, so I ran away. They followed me until they stalked me. They want the kite, but I didin't give it. I said it was for Amir beause he won. Assef told me that Amir dosen't vonsider me as a friend, but I didint't belive that. also said to me that I am only a hazara, a person that may don't leave, but I never gave the kite to Assef. the thing that happened next is very delicate, I don't know how a person can do that. Wali and kamal extended my arms and assef standed behind me. i didn't do anything because I can't. He raped me. I need your help. I don't know if this will happen again, so I need to talk to you in person about this. I need yur recomendation. I am traumatized.
Regards
Hassan

Fairtrade letter

                                   March 18th
Dear jhon
How are you? Im fine, I want to tell you a thing that I learnt today in the market. I was shopping, when I saw a chocolate with the fairtrade mark. It was 10 percent more expensive than a comparable chocolate. I investigated what fairtrade is and I found that it is an organization that helps poor people. This organization consists in that fairtrade helps the farmers or a poor producer to internationalize its products. Fairtrade keeps a 10% of the value of the product of the product and the producer with the 90%. With that 10% this organization use it to help other people, and etc. It's like a circle. 
This process is helping a lot of families in all the world. The poverty is downgrading. I also found a video of fairtrade and I saw how this program is helping a lot of people. It was of a family that produces sugar in Africa. Before this program they didn't have nothing, but after they have schools, good food and I can say, a better life. I cannot explain to you the hapiness of that people in the video, if you have time watch it. Also a good thing is that the small producers in a year after, can convert in a big industry. Can you imagine that? It's amazing. The poverty will end in a few years if this program progress more. So I will compromise to buy all the products that I need with the fairtrade mark, and I recomend you to do it too. We can do a competition. The person who hase more fairtrade marks wins
Regards 
Martin Achondo

taks 3

He is not like me because he got dark skin and provides od an african family. he might fit in my society because he is  football player.
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2014/05/sagna-signs-man-city/

task 4
In my school the students said that all the chinesse classmates are equals. I don´t think that it is true because all the people are different. The chinesse students feel very discriminated from  the other classmates. I think my school have to change that aspect soon as posible. Every time this happen in my school, I defends the chinesse classmates, because I´m against the rascism.

task 5
I interview Carlos Salas
-what do you thing about rascism? -I think that rascism is a very stupid thing that we have to stop. Only people with a not developed brain can discriminate people. We are all equals and there is no justification to boder someone about his skin colour or his religion, so we have to stop the rascism the soon as posible. I think to stop this racism we have to do campaignes because the people with dark skin feel drisciminate part from the society. 

task 6 
The movie "The Blind Side"
A rich women find a black men in the street and she offer to sleep in her house. Finally she adopted him and the friends of the women and the people at the school discriminate him. But in the end of the movie everybody realize that the black boy have a talent so everybody accept him
