The impact of tourism on the environment in Costa Rica


Our country is one of the best places for tourists to come and enjoy the natural beauty. A tropical country is what makes us very special, with many beaches, volcanoes and forests.
In 2010 was a good year for the tourism in Costa Rica, it increased in 5% in comparison to 2009, it means that it is the most important activity for the economy of Costa Rica.
Tourism has many impacts, but what I like is that it helps Costa Rica to organize a women´s FIFA World Cup for 2014

Language Skills


I think that a way to improve our language skills in English is speaking. When people speak more and more, they get more fluency and confidence in themselves. Reading is also important for a good pronunciation and to have good language skills.
Some people who know English don´t like to speak for many reasons. One reason could be that they have fear to make mistakes. Another reason could be the environment they are in. When a person who knows English is with people who don´t speak this language is going to be difficult to improve their skills.

Extreme Sports


Motorcycle Freestyle is the most exiting extreme sport. It´s something different that not everybody can do, riders are considered crazy because they do the tricks 10 meters on the air with a motorcycle of 80 kilos of weight. When I was in my town I tried to do it with some friend but it´s really difficult and I think that I´m not so crazy to do it.

Crime in Costa Rica


Every year in Costa Rica crime increases, in the news we can see how many violent deeds happen and always are more than ten. It’s alarming and nobody does anything. What is going to happen if we continue this way?
The government thinks that having more police officers is the option to solve this problem it is good but is not the solution because there are in the streets much corruption and a lot of officers are part of business.
Costa Rica needs to chance some laws; they have to be strong with out compassion against criminals.
Example:
The men who kill to Joyse David Pineda Montero Tuesday night in Los Laureles, in Rincón Grande de Pavas, attacked him while he was playing soccer.
In the failed assault three men participated in a black and blue car and one of the men was who shot David Pineda.
People who were present stopped one of the suspects from escaping from the crime scene and when we came “they had beaten him”, said Hannia Cubillo police officer.
Friends of Pineda took him in a car to the firefighter station in Pavas.
In conclusion I think that Costa Rica is more secure than other countries but we are in the wrong way and the government is not doing anything drastic to stop it. The criminals have to be stopped and put in jail.

Gollo annouced is interesting and funny.

It is about two men that bought a t.v, one of them bought it in Gollo store and the other in other store. The man who didn`t go to Gollo had to pay much money than the man who went there. When the boy realized of the situation He got crazy.

But I see a good message that is good for the people, sometimes we spend a lot of money, because we don´t look for good prices. We should do it and we´ll save money.

Apology Letter


To: Ms Castro

I wrote this letter to apologize for my absence in the Sello Verde you gave to the students last week. I heard that it was so profitable for the people who listen to your message, but sometimes you have to do things that you can´t stop doing it, I work in my own bussiness and in the Sello Verde´s day I had to be in my job instead of my father who was in Puerto Limón.

I´m going to find all the information about the speech. It sounds so interesting.
