Learned at the activities



Dear organizer,

In ULACIT many extracurricular activities that help to get rich knowledge in students. These activities can have knowledge in other fields such as health, technology, psychology and many other areas. This puts us in touch with current world issues. This university is one of the few nationwide that tries to give the student a global training. We note that in undertaking these activities the students of other college can interact and there better communication. I congratulate the persons who carry out such workshops, and thanks to the efforts and dedication of them we have this type of learning. Finally, I ask students to collaborate with attendance and good behavior in the activities, and will reward the efforts of people who are behind all this.

Sincerely
Rafael Alvarado S.

Slang in the United States


Slang is casual spoken language which differs from dialectical speech and jargon as well as formal speech. Some linguists think of slang as the sprinkles of color in a language, since slang is often unique, unusual, and sometimes startling. As a general rule, slang is not used in formal spoken language, or in writing, unless the speaker is attempting to achieve a deliberate effect. Some slang terms, however, make the jump from slang to accepted common usage, as was the case with “OK”. Generally, slang diffuses through a group of people, and it may spread out across an entire region or class. People who are not in that group may pick up the slang as well, causing the usage to spread, or the slang may remain isolated to a smaller subgroup. College students, for example, often develop complex slang terms, with slang from different regions diffusing on a college campus. Finally, this is example of famous slang in the movies: Hasta la vista, baby. (Terminator) , Beam me up, Scotty. (Star Trek)

Egypt



People say that one of the places we should know before death is Egypt with the incredible sphinxes Cairo pyramids, Temples, ancient tombs, ancient monuments to the pharaohs with their treasures were hidden for centuries, this route can be done with an exciting camel ride, of course you cannot miss the amazing River Nile, across the desert from Cairo where there is possibility of taking a cruise of one or several days. Egypt is a place with an ancient culture and its people know that is why they built a few years ago one of the largest museums, which displays amazing works of art and the bazaar where you can buy crafts and unique handmade things. The best months to travel to Egypt it is between October and May, when the sky is clear you can see the view, between April and November to anger the dive sites are the best. I hope someday to exploit this great country, because this is my dream destination.

My favorite restaurant


My favorite restaurant is Rostipollos. This is an excellent place to enjoy with family and enjoy the delights of chicken. It is a place that has a large menu for those who like chicken. It has a wide variety of dishes made from chicken, and of course this without forgetting is traditional chicken firewood. It is an ideal place to take the family as quiet. In this restaurant you can taste delicious and cheap, for all tastes and budgets. But to me what I really love their food than is the design of the place. It has a very special decoration, which gives a very personal touch. Finally, a good restaurant should be the ideal place to enjoy good food, cheap and enjoyable.

Impact of video games


For several years, video games occupy much of their free time our children and their demand is increasing. Surprising that six years a child can master a console, but in most households with children under 14 years is a console and are becoming more attractive and accessible. Video games have evolved greatly, especially in its visual quality, but also their teaching skills. Currently, many schools use games to teach certain subjects and teach values. However, the nervousness before the game often is motivated by ignorance of its benefits and/or damages. This kind of entertainment can lead to social isolation, which parents must pay attention and see that our children do not lose when the north plays, and to propose other activities. Finally, video games are not harmful, but is excess is the danger. As parents we guide our children including the type of entertainment they have.

Etiquette


There is nothing better than to ask “please” and “thank you”. People today forget something as basic as that. People to live must have rules of etiquette. It’s important to have respect and to be courteous with others. There is a well known, “no matter what you do not like you do”. If put into practice this, always done the right before the people. Finally, when you eat with others and much more when they are strangers, be careful and keep the rules of etiquette, because there is nothing more disgusting than watching bad table manners. Thank you...
