My lucky letter


Dear Fannie,
Hi! How are you? I hope you`re fine. Well, I’m writing this letter `cause I wanna tell you about the prices that I won on my holidays, I think I’m a very lucky person, `cause I won different things one by month such as, two tickets to a concert. One of them was a DAVID GUETTA`S concert in the Sporting Club of ViƱa del Mar, this was a very extraordinary experience. I have never been in an Electronic Dance show and I felt so good for that. On the last month, I won another price but, this was an opportunity to know another big DJ as Bob Sinclar this time. In addition, I was at the VIP sector with famous people that was awesome.
 I really think that I have plenty of luck. Because when I returned to Santiago, I went out with my daddy to the shopping center for buying new shoes and we find them on sale, with a 50%off. After that, my boyfriend’s uncle, invited us to go to the concert of Prince Royce, we don’t like his music so much. However, we think that was an amazing idea because the show was very entertainment. On the last Saturday I participated on twitter for a bag with solar panels and I was the winner!!! 
Well, this is my successful history. I hope you’re so fine and regard for your dog, Tinker
Lovely yours,
Matias.

JUNO


The Film:

"Juno" is an American film that focuses on the life of a young girl of 16 years old, who at her young age maintains an active sex life with her best friend Bleeker, Juno becomes pregnant by his best friend and faces one of the main problems of young people in the world who are parents at an early age.

In this film act Ellen Page as Juno, Michael Cera as Bleeker, Jason Bateman as Mark and Jennifer Garner as Vanessa and others, these last-mentioned are important characters in the story because when Juno realizes her pregnancy, she makes the decision to give her child up for adoption to someone, they really want and can take care of him, but to Juno won’t be easy to live this experience, because many things happen on the way to make you reflect and mature a bit childish and immature character.

This film has a very simple characterization because they are typical people who are involved in a very common problem so the recordings are made in an area as simple as possible, but its highly structured script and the performances of their authors
that make this movie as fun and successful.

The soundtrack of this film is centered on the music of Kimya Dawson and his two bands Antsy Pants and The Moldy Peaches, which was suggested by the actress Ellen Page.

With a favorable review and a couple of prize inside, I recommend this film that is specifically directed to families and to reflect an issue that concerns us all as acceptance, respect and affection for children.



Education:

In the movie "Juno" in education we can highlight many situations, since in this context can be seen that the protagonist has a strong character, which makes her a very rebellious girl yet carefree, living with his father and stepmother, we emphasize that Juno does not have a family or a mother teaching as a reference despite the concern of his father, also in the aspect of school life, Juno must suffer the stares of her classmates of those who watch derogatory and discriminatory manner, that is why you see a lack of education with young people in school. 




On the other hand we can see in the film that not only the protagonist has an active sex life but also the other characters in the story, which is because it shows a lack of information on the subject to deal with students and how to cope with the correctly with parents.

 The problem of education in the film shows family conflicts, social and student, so that education is an important issue because the lack of the general problems and conflicts in the lives of individuals and those around us by This is why education and understanding are key factors in the development of the life of a young man who gradually develops his consciousness.

small combo. He maintains a high average in his subjects at
school and still manages to play football and run on the track
team. Although he is very popular with other young people, he
doesn't let his social life interfere with his weekend job at the
drugstore.

Topic sentences: John Bookmeyer is a versatile, well-rounded boy  
Because this is a description of the person.

  2.   The first thing I noticed about the school was the litter
in the schoolyard. Trash and paper were scattered everywhere. The
building, which could have been very attractive despite its age,
was dingy and dirty beyond belief. A window -pane was broken out
of the main door, and the door itself led into a dark, for
bidding hall. As I walked down the hall, I noticed the messy
bulletin board and, in several places, writing on the wall. No
one greeted me when I entered the outer office, although a
receptionist was sitting there noisily chewing a huge wad of gum
and putting on fingernail polish. All in all. I couldn't help
feeling that the school was poorly cared for.

Topic senteces: the school was poorly cared for.
Because this is the principal idea.

  3.   Through the fog the arc lights high above the stadium
looked like small moons from the field below. The lights were
reflected all over the marshy field in pools of water, an
accumulation of twenty four hours of steady drizzle. Despite
lengthy warm-up drills, the players now felt the cold and
dampness beginning to penetrate. They were either huddled
together or dancing up and down to keep warm-- that is, all
except our first-string quarterback and our all-state offensive
end, both of whom were out of the game with injuries. They sat
glumly on the bench wrapped in soggy woolen blankets, Conditions
could hardly have been worse for this crucial game.

Topic sentence: the cold and dampness beginning to penetrate.
