My Dream Job


I don't know what I want to my future career. At this moment, I attend high school and I chose this course because it has good future prospects. When I finish school, I want to go to college but I haven't decided what I will study, yet.
However, I'll probably go to an engineering course because my brother is an engineer. This work involves making houses' projects.
Nevertheless, I would also like to be a police officer, because I love to be in action. =D
So, with my qualifications I can go to college and finish my course to start working and have a good job!
To be a good professional, I need to have many qualities: being smart, intelligent, devoted and to do an excellent work.

My Dream Job

Many teens are obsessed with their future and they are becoming more and more focused on their marks. Lots of them became a kind of "nerds" and they quit everything to it. Socializing, playing, going out with friends, enjoying their lives... LIVING... That's all that I want to avoid.
As all other teens, I have already thought about my future. Since young, I've wanted to help people in a way that nobody knows. How should I know? Nobody knows what I mean. Maybe, neither do I.

In spite of loving it, since my childhood, I have other dream job: to be a famous guy working on his laptop behind his desk and having his private room and a personal secretary. So, the second question is pointless. These two jobs are very different. One of them, the first, implies action and a constant study. The other one, other things. It's a quiet job. However, both of them can give me a good monthly wage, but I need to have very good marks to go to University. As I am only sixteen years old, I don't have many qualifications but soon I will have it.
Finally, to answer the seventh question, I can say I know that for the first job, I need to be strong, not be afraid and very patient and calm. For the other job, I don't need special qualities. I think that the way I am now, I'm ready to that job.
So, let's be ready to rumble.

Choosing a career

I still don't know what I want to do in the future, because there are so many choices and opportunities that it is hard to choose only one.
Nowadays I attend high school, but I want to go to college and graduate.
Most of the common jobs consist in: sitting on a chair, looking at a computer's screen and typing a lot.
Well, that is not the kind of job I want for me, I hate sedentarism!
I'll just let things happen and live every day with no worries.

From my point of view people are too much influenceable, because they give too much importance to ads and sometimes they are so obsessed with it that they'll do everything they can to get some product. Advertisements make teens want to look like their idols and act like them.
The richest brands are the ones which make are more expensive and attractive, this way teenagers will prefer these brands to the others.
Sometimes people like some ads so much, they even do the things they see at it, like drinking coffee every day at the same time.
Youngsters are so obsessed by advertisements, they also exclude their peers for the way they dress, for example, if some of them dresses old fashioned clothes.

English Composition Test

In this century, teens are more and more used to having everything. In my opinion, the major cause is the abuse of advertisements which persuade them to buy everything they like and they see.
Ads convince them that they need things they don't want at all. So, teens are becoming dependent on buying many times in a month, which give them lots of problems with money and many of them need to get a part-time job.
ads and other teens. The need of becoming a member of one group, let teens believe that the brands and the type of clothes they dress are the only thing that matters. That's why teens are becoming "emos" or "dreads". However, some of them like to dress that way because they feel good and think that other people appreciate it. OtAs time goes on, kids are becoming more and more influenced by the media,her reason is to impress girls, like "niggas" do but sometimes they ill-treat other youngsters and humiliate them.
So, as I had already said, the principal reason is the excess of ads because they are ubiquitous.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America and Europe, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Advertising




"Is the art of convincing people that they want certain thinks they not want at all; of making them dissatisfied with everything they have; of making them thoroughly unhappy”
Georgi Mikes, How to Scrape Skies

Advertising is a communication whose purpose is to inform potential customers about products and services and how to use and obtain them. Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including: television, radio, movies, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet, and billboards. Advertising is often placed by an advertising agency on behalf of a company.
Advertisements can also be seen on the seats of grocery carts, on the walls of an airport walkway, on the sides of buses, heard in telephone hold messages and in-store public address systems. Advertisements are usually placed anywhere an audience can easily and/or frequently access visuals and/or audio and print.

The History of Valentine's Day

The History of Valentine's Day



Which St. Valentine this early pope intended to honor remains a mystery: according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by that name. One was a priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni, and of a third St. Valentine almost nothing is known except that he met his end in Africa. Rather astonishingly, all three Valentines were said to have been martyred on Feb. 14.

Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. At this stage, the factual ends and the mythic begins. According to one legend, Claudius II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death. Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius, fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine." Probably the most plausible story surrounding St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros (passionate love) but on agape (Christian love): he was martyred for refusing to renounce his religion.
In 1969, the Catholic Church revised its liturgical calendar, removing the feast days of saints whose historical origins were questionable. St. Valentine was one of the casualties.






Valentine's Day Poem



Be My Valentine, My Love:



Be my Valentine, my love,

As I will be for you,

And we will love the whole day long,

And love our whole lives through.




For love has no parameters

And does not end with time,

But is the gift of paradise,

A pinch of the sublime.




So let us take this holiday

To resubmit our love

To those within that know no sin

And with the angels move.

Origin of the word Carnival




Where did the word “carnival” come from?Hundred and hundreds of years ago, the followers of the Catholic religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild costume festival right before the first day of Lent. Because Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called their festival, carnevale — which means “to put away the meat.” As time passed, carnivals in Italy became quite famous; and in fact the practice spread to France, Spain, and all the Catholic countries in Europe. Then as the French, Spanish, and Portuguese began to take control of the Americas and other parts of the world, they brought with them their tradition of celebrating carnival.

Carnival


Carnival is a festival season. It occurs immediately before Lent; the main events are usually during February or March. It typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus and public street party. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations.
Carnival is mostly associated with
Roman Catholic and, to a lesser extent, Eastern Orthodox Christians; Protestant areas usually do not have carnival celebrations or have modified traditions, like the Danish Carnival. The world's largest carnival celebration is held in Brazil but many countries worldwide have large, popular celebrations,
such as Carnival of Venice.
