A Horror Movie

Hi! I'm going to talk you about a horror movie that I saw 2 years ago. I like watching horror movies with friends, but I get scared very fast.
The horror movie opens when a couple that lives in a house far away the civilisation, discover a blood message on the mirror it says "you're next", after they get murdered. Then the members of a family go to a house near there, where they have a family reunion. When they arrive everithing is normal, but a few time later, when they are having the dinner, suddenly an arrow brakes a window and kill a boy. Then they realise that someone is out the house observing them, like a lion observe his prey. The family closes all the doors and the windows of the house, and then they call the police. There are 2 or 3 people with animal masks. Although what the family do, the people with maks can go into the house, and one for one the family starts being murdered. The film is more a thriller movie than a horror movie, but I think that both of this styles go often togheter. The movie ends when the murders kill everybody, and next they go out the house. After this the policemans come, and one of them die with a trap that the family put to defend theirselves.

Multiple Intelligences

In general I agree with the result, but I think that logical-mathematical might be higher, because I like very much the logical problems and mathematics. I want to study a biological career, and I think that the mathematics will be essential. I like very much music, but I don't think that is my most developed intelligence.

My Hero

Who's my hero?

My hero was a big person, and I'm not saying that for his size. My hero was a happy and strong-willed person. He is my grandfather, I called him Avi Pacs. He was a very positive person, and he didn't like losing. He was very playful. He liked a lot driving his car, and he enjoys too reading the newspaper. He was very sociable and he had lots of friends.

He is my hero because 4 years ago the doctors detected him cancer in the lungs. He fought against this disease for 4 years and he was brave. When the doctors told him that maybe in a not too far future he won't walk more like he did, he decided to walk for 2 hours. He had a perseverant spirit, I think that we all must learn of his attitude. I won't lie you, in the last year he sometimes lost his smile and his hope, but we, the family, were there to give support to him. He was a fighter. He fought with lot of power against his disease and unfortunatly he lost, and the disease won a few months ago, but he put it to it very difficult.

What animal is inside me?

In the English class we did a test about what animal are you, acording with your personality, your appearance and your ambitions. The result of the test was:

You are a Horse!

On the results there were a couple of horse's adjectives and facts that were supposed to correspond with me. I agree with most of them: average to large size, because I am taller than most of the others, steady, plucky and stubborn, because when I have an idea in my head it's difficult to change it. I can say that I'm observant too, and a bit know-it-all, because I know many things, but I'm conscious that there are thousands of others that I have to learn, and other thousands that I'll can't never learn.

The horses have free-spirited personalities and they hate to be ignored. I recognize that I'm like this, but they are sensitive to criticism too, and I usually ignore it. It's true that maybe someone criticism affects me, but harldy ever.

The horses are friendly, sensible and ticklish, and they insist at taking charge of their lives. All correspond to me totally. Just when they make a special friendship are willing to give up the reins. Then the horses become supportive and broad-shouldered mates

The horses enjoy doing exercise, and me too. The are ready to do every type of sport and exercise. I am too; I like all the sports, and moving my body it's one of my favourite hobbies.

For all of that I consider that the test got right. It described very well my personality and my ambitions although I disagree with something.

Enjoying my job

I think that enjoying your job is a very important thing because you pass 1/3 of your life working on a job, and if you don't like it you are losing time. The most people thinks that geting a job and working on it is something boring and tiring and they do it only to win some money and can pay all the maintenance that they have. But I believe that it's something that the people must do it with pasion and interest, because if you do a boring job, you won't be happy for the reason that I said at the begining.

I know that maybe this sounds impossible, but with a little effort you can do what you propose. Then you'll say, "I'm bad as basketball and I want to be a profesional basketball player", if you are not good at this, make an extra effort, and maybe you won't be the greatest basketball player of the world, and maybe you'll not be good bouncing the ball, but you might be the greatest defense of your team. Another example; you want to be a writter, but you make lots of ortographics and lexic mistakes, what can you do? Reading, reading, amd more reading. The solutions of the problems usually are in the simplest thing.

In conclusion, enjoy your job is one of the most important things in the world, in my opinion. And to make that possible, what you only have to do is work hard, and run risks. If you fall once, get up twice.
