IES Joan Alcover
Avda. Alemanya 14
Palma de Mallorca
September 2012

Dear Barbara,
My name is Anderson Zaruma Montero, I'm fourteen years old and this will be my fourth year studying at Joan Alcover high school. I'm not from here I was just born in Equador. Even though I was born in Equador I was only for three years. Since I travelled to Spain I have lived in Palma de Mallorca with my mum and my three younger brothers. One is studying in this school and is called Cristian, the other is in a primary school and is called Joan and finally the other is at the nursery and is called Alex.The reason I'm not with my dad is because unfortunately he died last year but gradually I get over my dad's deadth.
Well talking about something else I'll tell you more about me as I like reading very much , listening to music and playing volleyball. My favourite subject is Biology and my hobby is playing hockey. I play hockey in Plaza de Patines, I have played hockey since I was eleven.
As you said in the letter that you wrote before this is my final year of secondary school. This school year I suppose will be more difficult than last year. I would like to meet new people as last year I met a good friend. He's David and this year I'm also in class with him. But I'm also in class with more people who I met in Primary and Secondary.
I'm sure this year I'll meet new people and I'll have a good time as well as some bad times.
I hope you like this letter and all the best for this school-year.

This book is general consensuses of how Scoot Liell viewed Thomas Paine’s writing of Common Sense and the Turning point to Independence and how they effected the colony’s.

    The book, Honor and the American Dream: Culture and Identity in a Chicano Community, and the film, Salt of the Earth, both relay to their audience, the pursuit of happiness within the Chicano community in which they live. These works aim to show how Mexican-American immigrants fight to keep both their honor and value systems alive in the United States of America, a country which is foreign to their traditions. The Mexican-Americans encountered in these works fight for their culture of honor in order to define themselves in their new homeland, a homeland which honors the American dream of successful capitalism.…

    John Donne, a poet once famously said "no man is an island entire of itself", and nowhere does his statement ring true more than when discussing friendship. Since we 're toddlers up until we take our last breaths, friendship is an essential part of life. Our friends shape who we are, who we become, how we make sense of the world around us, and how we relate to others. Friendship is an important part of growing up, and the friends we have in school can have a dramatic impact on our development socially, emotionally, and indeed even academically. However, while friends can be a wonderful resource for students, navigating through friendships and peer relationships can also be detrimental in many ways. With our culture 's obsession on fitting in, friendships can become a source of peer pressure and teasing, and can impede personal development during the formative years when one is in school. In her book, Queen Bees and Wannabes, Wiseman discusses these very issues, such as friendship, its importance and benefits, and more importantly, dealing with bullies and mean girls. Not only is this book helpful to teenage girls, but it is specifically geared towards parents and provides them with a plethora of helpful strategies on how to deal with their daughters and enhance their social lives.…

    I like this book because it is full of action and it’s a mysterious kind of book. When I first started reading this book I always liked thinking who would have been plotting this idea and it was kind of hard trying to find out who was helping them as in the book, there is only a name saying Guest not any other name and the person would only reply when it was night where Guest was sending it to.…

    I chose “The One Minute Manage” because it looked like a short read and it appeared that it was going to generalize hundreds of different type of management theories into a few pages. This is a short, well written book explaining the fundamentals of management: make sure your staff member knows what they are to do, praise them if they do it, reprimand them if they don 't, and to have a training plan to make sure they develop into better, more productive employees. The story is of a young man seeking the answer to the question, “what is the one minute manager?” Also, the interviewer wants to know why is this region of the company such a great success. This man first interviews the company’s District manager. The District manager tells the visitor to check with certain department managers for more details about this technique. The "one minute" part of the title concerns the brief nature of aims, praises and reprimands.…

    Much like “tambola”, there are only a few happy winners from the hundreds that compete in Pakistan’s social lottery, and that is aptly brought forward in Daniyal Mueenuddin’s “In Other Rooms, Other Wonders.” Very unlike the Pakistan we have accustomed ourselves with, goaded by gloriously buttered food and hard-hitting Pathans, the book shows us how life is in Mueenuddin’s country for both the supremely rich and harshly poor. After attending Dartmouth and Yale, Mueenuddin completed this book on settling down in his farmland just outside Khanpur. His contribution towards the book is immense, which can be seen in the crude out-pour of emotions encased within its pages. Daniyal Mueenudin might very well be on his way in being seen as Pakistan’s most read writer, and indeed acting as a reference and an inspiration for upcoming writers in his brethren.…

    My Wonderful College Life

    • 347 Words

    College life is WAY different from secondary school life! The environment, especially at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus, is cool and amazing. The people here from all over the world with their different sense of fashion and style has made this campus special to me. But like most of the people during their first week, i was alone. The whole week of orientation was enlightening but i am still without a new friend. When the second week arrived, our lectures started and i met some classmates. They are friendly. The Taylor's University Freshies N Newbies Club (FnN) did help to break the ice. The gathering we had was very fun and laughter was in the air most of the time. When the third week arrived, i went away to Spain for 17 days and when i came back it is Hari Raya holidays. Well, i hope i can catch up with what i have missed in class and i really hope i will have some very good and close friends here and have a fruitful 2.5 years throughout this Diploma course. College life has been complicating for me so far but I'm going to enjoy or at least TRY to enjoy each and every moment of my college life.…

    The third sex and the human rights as the name suggests throws light on the plight of the third sex. In this book, Rajesh Talwar talks about not only the socio economic plight of the third sex but also discusses various problems faced by this community while struggling for their political and human rights at the international level. Many of us would be perplexed about the usage of terms like eunuchs/ transgender/ transsexuals/transvestites and in many instances, intentionally or unintentionally, tend to use these terms interchangeably.…

    Third year life is a challenging stage for me. It all started in the first day of school where I feel so uneasy. I felt like I am a new student of a certain school. It’s like my classmates were also new to me because some of them really changed. I felt like I don’t belong with them at all. I felt like I am in first year again. I thought my teacher is so horrible that when I am in front of her, I tremble. But, I was wrong, she is not so horrible like I thought, but she was really cute especially when she smiles or laugh.…
