The Best Movie of the Year: AVATAR

  • A LEADING CONSUMER MAGAZINE IS PLANNING TO RUN A FEATURE ENTITLED "THE BEST OF THE YEAR". READERS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SEND IN THEIR REVIEWS OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: A TV COMMERCIAL, A RESTAURANT, A BOOK, A FILM. WRITE A REVIEW OF ONE OF THESE SAYING WHY YOU THINK IT DESERVES THE TITLE "THE BEST OF THE YEAR" (between 220-260 words)
We went to the cinema with the idea of watching a movie that left a message. What we did not expect was that all throughout the movie we would be sitting on the edge of our seats. "Avatar", an American film, provided this to us.
"Avatar", a science fiction movie, is about an individual who was induced into a "dream" in order to be in another world, Pandora, and study its culture and species. Going further into the movie, what makes such a unique piece of work are the visual and special effects.
The director did a good portrayal of this unreal world. Even though it was created as new fauna and flora setting, it had a similarity with our own world. Not only is there an outstanding use of animation among this world, but also among the characters presented as new creatures.
This film is utterly involving. Trust us, watch it and then leave a comment in our blog about this fantastic and vivid movie.
We ensure that the audience will forget about their problems just for a while. So, sit back and relax! This is definitely the best movie of the year since it has elements that will make you feel desperate, satisfied and interested in this new science fiction environment.

How to develop skills important for student´s future lives

Attending school is a rave way for students to learn from others, such as a teacher or even a student. This means that school can help students when developing skills important for their future lives by having off-site team-building days or by introducing home-making and parenting classes.

Firstly, the fact that students can develop their skills for the future by a team-building activity is a reasonable and challenging way of attracting students to face their difficulties. The activities are based on interactive games that each group must play against the other squads. Each member of the group will have an opinion of the topic in the game. In some cases, these thoughts may differ from others, so everyone must listen the distinct viewpoints expressed in the team. 

Moreover, including parents in the development of the skills is not always recommended. If something is wrongly done, for example a cake, parents will shout and there will be chaos. Although, if a partner teaches a friend how to make a cake, these two kids might have fun and probably some anecdotes would be found later. 

All in all, not only is school an important means to gain knowledge but also to extrapolate everything that has been learnt in the near future. The most valuable way for students to develop their skills is by spending time with their friends. Therefore, correcting each other and learning from others are two useful simple methods when applying skills in a different place.

An essay on facilities

It is my belief that facilities should receive money from local authorities because these spaces were made to have certain visitors and, throughout the years, these places need to be improved and this could be done with the help from local authorities. Improvements might attract people to go regularly and visit the facility as innovation has been carried out.

To start with, facilities such as public gardens must receive money from the government. Green spaces are very useful places to spend time. People could run, do any type of exercise, ride a bicycle or just meet with their friends and have a snack with them. In addition, sharing a common place with people who want to clear up their minds and have some peace creates a suitable and enjoyable atmosphere to be in.

Moreover, another facility are museums. Museums may not attract so many people, they are not popular for everybody. Nevertheless, this space needs help from local authorities because it requires maintenance for the expositions, so special assistance so as to keep everything in order and in an attractive way. Besides, these tasks are regularly done in museums because it is essential.

Taking everything into consideration, I think that public gardens are more important to receive money from local authorities because as it is an outdoor space, free indeed, it is fundamental to keep it clean and in good conditions, considering that there is not a supervisor who could manage everything. Games could be provided with the money received to make children visit this place more often.

ETHICS: values, acceptance and fairness

Ethics is the ability to decide whether something is good or is bad. It is a moral philosophy that seeks to answer questions of human morality, by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime, among others.

Firstly, ethics is important to survive. It involves basic needs such as shelter, food, clothes that are essential for stay alive in terrible situations. Besides, being fair, honest and ethical are fundamental to satisfy human basic needs.

Moreover, being ethical means being able to use all the resources, thinking quickly and having attitude so as to help the others which are not in good conditions to do so. Trying to assist and help them through difficult situations means that ethical decisions are possible. For example, is the case of Jorge Lanata, an Argentinian politic journalist who needed a kidney transplant and fortunately someone donated his kidney in exchange of the kidney of Lanata´s wife, whose kidney was not compatible with her husband´s, but it was with this boy.

On the contrary, forgetting about the others who are in the same difficult situation and thinking only about yourself, ethical decisions are not going to be possible to survive. There is no fairness, no friendship. Neither values are presented among the others.

In addition, being desperate makes people not think, not knowing what to do, or even how to react. For instance, it completely changes someone´s mind when you finally realise there are more people suffering. A clear example was seen in the year 1972, when an aeroplane crashed in "La Cordillera de los Andes" in Chile, in which Uruguayan rugbiers were travelling.

As a conclusion, ethical decisions are possible or not depending on the people and on how they are accustomed to react in such circumstances, whether their basic needs are met or not.
