List three suggestions that the students Council feels can help new students feel welcomed and safe.
  • If the student doesn’t speak English they can help them find a person that could help them.
  • Sown to the new students how is the school.
  • Be friends with them.
Explain how each suggestion will help the new students.
  • In some class the new students don’t speak English and if they have a person that helps them, they can pass their class.
  • Explain how the school works.
  • So they can’t be alone, afraid in the school.

As a student council, I would give new suggestions to the administration on how we can help the new students feel safe and welcomed in the school. If the student doesn’t speak English they can help them find a person that could help him or her. I would show to the new students how the school works and be friends with them.

If the student doesn’t speak English the school can help him or her find a person that could speak the same language. In some classes, the new students don’t understand English and if they have a person that helps them, they can pass their classes. For example I have a friend who doesn’t understand English and she doesn’t pass all her classes. Her problem is that she is afraid to speak to people and she doesn’t tell to the teacher that she needs help. Now she has a person that helps her with her classes and she passes all her classes.

We can explain to the new students how the school works. We have to tell them where they can go to take the metro card, if they are sick we can tell them where they have to go. Also if they have a problem in their homes or outside the school they can go to the counselor. For example when I came to this school the first time, I was late. I came 13 days after the school started. I was lost and nobody helped me to get my schedule, and my metro card. It is very important that we show our new students how the school works.

We should be friends with them so they won’t feel alone and afraid in the school. Sometimes they have problems in their homes or outside the homes, they have problems with gangs or other things. We can speak with them and try to help them to fix their problems. We can make them fell better.


To conclude, I think that it is very important to do this suggestion. This way we can help them a lot in their life.

    Essay

    These people are on the window trying to extinguish
    Fire. I think they are trying to see if there are people in the house in order to save their lives. I think that before taking this picture the house was perfectly and it was not burning. After this the fireman talk to the police about what happen in the incident.
    When a house is burning always the fireman go to the place that they need to extinguish the fire. For example in this picture The fireman are trying to extinguish the fire by the windown. Also I think that before this picture was taking the hause was prefectly and it was not burnig. Also sometimes some firemen die becuase they save the lives of the people.

    There are a variety of activities you can do during the day. In these pictures, the students are spending their free times. There are some different ways to spend free time. I prefer to spend the free time in different ways .

    In picture one the students are in the library using the computer. They are studying and learning with their teacher. In picture 2, students are walking outside and they are talking. Also I think that they are going to the mall to buy clothes.

    There are many different ways that you can spend your free time. For example If you are bored, you can go outside to have fun with your friends. Also You can go to a movie theater to watch movies. Sometimes If you have a lot of money you can go to the mall to buy whatever you want. Another way to spend free time is read books to learn more. One can go to the library to learn new things and to have peace.

    I prefer to spend my free time listening to music or sometimes go outside with my friends or my family. Also when I am bored, I like to dance or use my computer to watch movies or check my emails and read my messages. Also when I go to buy clothes, I like to buy a lot of clothes or jewelry. It is very fun to go outside with my friends . This always makes me happy.

    The No-Guitar Blues" by Gory Soto

    How does Fausto get the guitar? His mother given to him.
    Do you think fausto was right to give the money to the church? Why or why not? I think that Fausto was right giving the money to the church because he did bad when he lie to the owners of the dog.
    How do you think Fausto is feeling when he offers to was the dishes forever.? explain.
    I think that he was very excited and happy because he was going to get the guitar of his dreams.

    There are many television shows that are inspiration for the teenagers and adults. Some teenager want to became famous or they wish to be like someone. For example I want to be a lawyer but I also want to be a Wrestler because I always watch wrestling every Monday. Friday, Tuesday. In the WWE my favorites wretlers are Jeff Hardy, Rey Misterio, Matt Hardy, CM Punk, Mickie James, Candice Michael, Maria. Also in there I have two loves, HBK( Shawn michaels) and John Cena. I like so much this program. It is very intersting but also is dangerous. If you get hurt by someone you can go to the hospital like a 1 year, 6 months.


    Wrestling is called a Olympic sport. They fight with physical techniques which embody the style of wrestling are clinching, holding, locking, leverage. Also some techniques lead serious injury in teh wretleres. But also its basic principles are closely related to those of military hand to hand combat or self defense systems. There are many styles of wrestling that are know all over the world and have long stories.

    I think that teenagers watch wrestling because they want to be famous and the like the program. Also some teenagers watch and they have their favorites wretleres and they want become a wrestler like their favorite wrestler.

    Some people think that children and teenagers don't have see that this program because is very violent. Especially parents they don't want that their children learn to be violent. They don't want that their children do what they see in the street or in the school. For example some kids learn that techniques and in some cases a lot kids suffer injuries by other kids.

    In my case I want be lawyer but also I want to be a wretlers. I like to watch this program. I think that if we use correctly nobody would hurt the sport.
