studying on campus, his reply was that he
dreamed on working with a huge corporation,
which he will be in charge of processing,
inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and
modeling data; he felt that he could one day be
able to manage and create his own team. He
graduated from Irwin High School in 2000, and
he is set to graduate from the University of New
York with a master's degree in data analysis in
2017. Some of his closest friends suggested
that he should've gone with another major,

Sofia is a senior at the University of California. Her
plan is being a teacher. When asked why she chose
this major, her reply was that as a child she always
loved to teach new things to people and enjoy
helping people learning new material. Growing up,
she was often asked during class sessions to explain
difficult material and her classmates understood very
quickly after she had explained it to them. That was
when she noticed and knew right away what she
wanted to do when she grew up. When asked what
grade level she wanted to teach in, she replied that
she wanted to teach younger kids because they are
better listeners and they would be scared of her and
listen to everything; unlike older kids that may be a
bit smarter however stubborn at times. She
graduated from the University of California in 2009.
We asked what she does in her free time,
her reply was that she enjoys to read books
^and spend time doing word puzzles. _________

THINK BEFORE YOU BUY

Advertisements are part of our lives. Perhaps,
they are one of the most important factors that
influence our shopping habits. We are
surrounded by advertising everywhere, on
television, radio and internet influencing every
purchase we make.
Advertisements persuade us to buy things, and
to achieve it, advertising media use different
methods and strategies to present a product or
service as something necessary for the
consumer. The problem here is that most of the
time those products are unnecessary in our
lives.
The ways in which advertising convey their
messages have a profound effect on many
aspects of our lives, such as: culture, family and
interpersonal relations, business, stereotypes,
wealth, individuality, and the way you feel.
When you are looking at an advertisement, you
have the choice to decide whether you need it
or not, just ask yourself this question “Do I really
need it?”
A. What is an advertisement?
B. How do advertisements persuade us?
ARE YOU A SHOPAHOLIC?
Like other forms of addiction, shopping
addiction is a disease; it is similar to other
addictive behaviors and has some of the same
characteristics as alcoholism, gambling, etc.
It can occur when a person feels depressed,
angry, and/or lonely. This shopping addiction
may result in interpersonal, family and financial
problems in one's life.
The person who suffers this addiction is called
a shopaholic. Becoming a shopaholic is a
problem not just for women but also for men.
The motivations and effects of compulsive
buying are the same for men and women. What
differs is the types of things they buy, while
women spend vast sums of money buying
clothes, shoes, jewelry and make-up. Men buy
sport equipment, electronics and car related
items.
This addiction can be treated with behavioral
therapy and individual counseling. The
shopaholic must learn how to develop impulse
control. If it stems from depression or other
clinical mental health problems and medication
may help. Shopping addicts can also benefit
from recovery programs like Shopaholics
Anonymous or Debtors Anonymous, that offer
a positive source of support during recovery.

Are you a shopaholic? Why?

C. What do you think about advertising? Do you agree with the text?

The Nevado del Ruiz Volcano
and the Tragedy of Armero
The Colombian volcano Nevado del Ruiz is an active
stratovolcano that erupted in 1985 in Armero.
Minor earthquakes and steam explosions from
Nevado del Ruiz were seen and felt during 1985. But
these signals didn't alarm the local citizens. The
volcano erupted violently on November 13th, 1985.
However, the citizens of Armero remained calm since
messages from the Mayor over the radio claimed that
there was nothing to be alarmed. At 9:08 p.m. molten
rock began to erupt from the summit crater for the first
time.
Few days before the disaster, a Colombian geology
student, José Luis Restrepo, had come to Armero on
a field trip. After playing billiard, he was returning to his
hotel at about 10:50 p.m., when the lava arrived. His
recollection of events were recorded by Dr. Barry
Voight.
" We didn't hear any kind of alarm, even when the
ash was falling and we were in the hotel, we turned
on the radio... The mayor was talking and he said
not to worry, that it was a rain of ash, that they had
not reported anything from the Nevado, and to stay
calm in our houses. There was a local radio station
and we were listening to it, when suddenly it went
off the air... about fifteen seconds later, the electric
power went out and that's when we started hearing
the noise in the air, like something toppling, falling,
and we didn't hear anything else, no alarm ... The
priest from Armero had supposedly spoken on a
loudspeaker [around 6:00 p.m.] and had said the
same thing: that there was no need to leave
Armero... When we went out, the cars were
swaying and running people down . . . there was
total darkness, the only light sources were
provided by cars... we were running and were
about to reach the corner when a river of water
came down the streets.. . we turned around
screaming, towards the hotel, because the waters
were already dragging beds along, overturning
cars, sweeping people away. . . Suddenly, I heard
bangs, and looking towards the rear of the hotel I
saw something like foam, coming down out of the
darkness ... It was a wall of mud approaching the
hotel, it crashed against the rear of the hotel and
the walls started crushing.... And then the ceiling
cracked and the entire building was destroyed and
broken into pieces. ”

ENHANCING VOCABULARY
Read the following document by a historian sea-dreamer and complete the
© assignment.
Some countries' emergency response centers are very efficient. They know exactly when to
quarantine an area to prevent spreading diseases. Most major cities deal with what can be considered
annual natural disasters such as tornados, hurricanes, and blizzards. Places that if there were no
emergency response centers, millions of families would be stranded every year, especially during a
snow storm. Instead, families go about their daily life immune to the wretched weather outside.

What is amazing is the negative effect a natural disaster can have on the wildlife. I wildfire fueled by
many windy days decimated the marsupial population in an area of Australia. However the critical part
is when politicians try to explain the lack of preparation as when Hurricane Catrina hit New Orleans in
the U.S.A, an Impertinent local governmental spokesmen, came with their ambiguous misinformation
and hypocritical resignations of higher ups protecting the highest of them all, there were thousands of
stranded people in a football stadium for days breathing decaying bodies’ toxins that surrounded the
stadium for a few kilometers around.

Some disasters are manmade, In Brazil, there is a problem with the deforestation of the rainforest,
and in some parts of the world human beings are responsible for the effects that excess ultraviolet
rays have on bare skin.

I am not an advocate of anything, nor in the business of inference information, I just write things to
think about as an antibody for ignorance.

Writing exercise. Within a group setting, write a 600 words essay evaluating
the emergency response center in your area. Make sure to use the following
list of vocabulary words.

quarantine, hypocritical, immune, impertinent, inference, antibody, kilometer,

marsupial, rainforest, toxin, ultraviolet, advocate, ambiguous, wretched, decimated
