Topic : History

It is very crazy to know that our everyday lives becomes history.

Each day that ends becomes our past and each picture is a look into
that past. It is important that pictures are taken often and stories
are written so that we do not forget what has been done. Something
that happens in the year 2020 will become the past even if it is what
we live in. It will be written in history books and studied by students
in the years to come.

 Topic : Picnic

Going on a picnic on a sunny Saturday or Sunday afternoon is a great

way to spend the weekend. Pack a picnic blanket, a basket filled with
delicious foods, and somethings to drink. A great food to put into any
basket is cheese and crackers. This simple combination is wonderful
to eat and easy to pack. When laying your blanket make sure you pick
the right spot. I enjoy finding cool shade under large trees so that
you can sit comfortably with the people you care about.

The Environment
In our modern world, there are many factors that place the wellbeing of the
planet in jeopardy. While some people have the opinion that environmental
problems are just a natural occurrence, others believe that human beings have a
huge impact on the environment. Regardless of your viewpoint, take into
consideration the following factors that place our environment as well as the
planet Earth in danger.

Global warming or climate change is a major contributing factor to environmental

damage. Because of global warming, we have seen an increase in melting ice caps, a
rise in sea levels, and the formation of new weather patterns. These weather
patterns have caused stronger storms, droughts, and flooding in places that they
formerly did not occur.

Air pollution is primarily caused as a result of excessive and unregulated emissions

of carbon dioxide into the air. Pollutants mostly emerge from the burning of fossil
fuels in addition to chemicals, toxic substances, and improper waste disposal. Air
pollutants are absorbed into the atmosphere, and they can cause smog, a
combination of smoke and fog, in valleys as well as produce acidic precipitation in
areas far away from the pollution source.

In many areas, people and local governments do not sustainably use their natural
resources. Mining for natural gases, deforestation, and even improper use of
water resources can have

tremendous effects on the environment. While these strategies often attempt to

boost local economies, their effects can lead to oil spills, interrupted animal
habitats, and droughts.

Ultimately, the effects of the modern world on the environment can lead to many
problems. Human beings need to consider the repercussions of their actions,
trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials while establishing environmentally
sustainable habits. If measures are not taken to protect the environment, we can
potentially witness the extinction of more endangered species, worldwide
pollution, and a completely uninhabitable planet.

dioxide emissions, this also contributes to being a source of water pollution, through the

About a year ago, Ivan, a childhood friend was in trouble. I remember that he needed
money to pay off a debt. That’s when I decided to help him and lent him money. He is a
great accountant, very responsible, and on that occasion, he had forgotten his wallet at
his house.

He no longer had enough time to go back and pick up his wallet. I always get along with
my friend or family as I avoid conflict because I don’t like to be fighting with someone.
I have never underestimated anyone because I respect opinions and people. Some years
ago, I had fallen in love with Taylor Swift, one of the best singers I know. When I have
problems with somebody sometimes, I try to fix the situation. I can’t stand the amount
of work I have on a daily basis. I think I need some vacations.
