Recently, after the constant terrorist attacks all over the western civilizations, those governments have started a campaign in syria to attack the terrorists who are ther, and also destroying the country.
In my opinion, I think that it's comprehensible that they want to get their revenge, but it's wrong. Attacking a whole country just for a minory that resides there just creates pain and suffer to all the innocents who live there, and by that, creating more hate against the west.
I would try to pacify th eregion first and controlling the borders and the people who gets in.

Internet
Internet is one of the most revolucionaries inventions of the humankind, I think.
Its functions are to provide information and making the communication project much easier. But for me, the most cool thing of the Internet is that it makes everyone so close. Now that it's incredibly easy to speak with someone who's fore example living on the oposite side of the planet, you can feel like that people who's very far away from you, is also your closest friend.

Is humour necessary?
Humour Is a feeling that's been always with us since we were born, even if we didn't know about it.
Humour makes our lives better, in every way. When we feel bad, we still have the decision to laugh, it may not be apropiated for some situations, but in the long term I think that it's the best.
There are a lot of diferent humours, each one of us prefers another kind about other, but that's a thing that enriches our lives.
I think that without humour, life would be so boring, and may not make it so worthy.

Self evaluation
After seeing the oral presentation, it seemed pretty well for me. It's true that I tend to get nervous, that's a problem that i've been carrying since always. I'll try to improve my body language and be more confient and relaxed. But generally, was a good work.

Smalll loan of a million dollars
If someone gave a small loan of a million dollars, i would probably don't know how to spend it.
I would buy a lot of things, like a couple of super fast cars just because I could, then, maybe a house but i think that probably would be better to invest it in something that gave me even more money to spend it after i gained it.
Of course i would donate a part of that money to help people who needed it more than me, but would be cool if I had it.
Definitely, if i had that money, I could live for ever without moving a single finger.

In America, for example, beauty products, have become very popular and experienced a raise in its sales, like cosmetics, etc... One of the star products is the bottox, it has gained a lot of users and become a ingredient in the bottox parties (parties where people inject bottox)
Also, every day the esthetic surgery bussines is growing more and more around the world.
In conclusion, seems like beauty is one of the mandatory ingredients to have if you want to stand out among everyone else.
Hello Sonia, as you said I'm writting the presentation mail talking about my dreams.
The truth is, I never had a clear goal to achieve in my life, because since I was a kid, I never stoped thinking about all the possibilities that someone could achieve on his life. There have been a lot of ideas in my head since always. When I was a child, there were the classical ones, like being an astronaut or something like that, but recently, about 2 years ago, I became interested in visual arts.
I started drawing things I liked, and they were not so bad, but I've always felt like there was a hole on everything i've done, because it wasn't mine. So I guess that my dream would be like to create something by myself and then do an animated series or somehing so the people could enjoy it.
The past year I've been working with a friend who's studying an informatic cycle, he had to create like some kind of animated videos, and he asked me if I could send him some designs for his charaters, so I did. In the end, I don't know how it ended, because I sent to him my first design, but then he didn't need more, so my early carreer finished there. That helped me to grow the interest in drawing.
I think that's all, thanks for reading and good night :)
