George Eastman House is a wonderful place to visit in Rochester because is a venue in which we can identify a little bit more the history in this beautiful city. I really would enjoy visiting this House and recognize its value for this society.

REPETION

In listening and speaking class we studied repetition. We listened to Winton Churchill's 1940 we shall never surrender speech. Here is my practice talk using repetition. People should discover the real value of love... people should be more helpful... people should live in peace... people should smile more often... people should forgive frequently... people should pray everyday... people should just love and sometimes to love a little bit more...

HOMELESSNESS

Homelessness is a terrible reality in Rochester city. Myriad people do not have the opportunity to attend school and then consequently they do not have the chance to be prepared for a high level education such as college or university. This critical problem does not enable people to access to jobs whereby they can get high incomes.

There is a very interesting quote from people who deal with this situation, “we are homeless but not hopeless.” This sentence makes me feel encouraged because homeless, despite their situation is hard, they have a hope to continue working for their future and keep going finding new strategies in order to propel a project of new opportunities and challenges.

POEM BY HASSAN AND CARLOS

you are the wings of a bird
and the wings of the breeze.
You are the light of the sun
and the wave of the sea.

You feel the power to fly
and the strength of being free.
However, you are not an angel from the sky
but you feel free.

When you see the sea
you are afraid
but don't worry
you are the fisher of the sea
and the mermaid of the ocean.

How do you feel?
you feel like a planet in the space
and a star in the universe.

You are the wings of a bird
and you always will be the wings of a bird.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY

In my opinion, Susan B. Anthony was a wonderful and very interesting woman who worked for dignity of people. It is very interesting how she campaigned for the abolition of slavery, how she wanted to rescue the women’s rights to their own property and earnings, and also, her work and efforts for women’s labor organizations.

I discovered something that, really, is very interesting in this woman. She wanted to open the possibility women can vote. Even though, she was arrested for voting in 1872. She has become a historical hero in the united states because she has give the dignity to women.

FOOD INFORMATION

The food information comes from different places or persons. First of all, some people know so much about food and they have a wide knowledge about the food ingredients, its benefits for the body and the mind. Also, they know the elements that are healthier to us. For instance, I can name my parents who are very good cook, and of course, other relatives.
Secondly, the food information comes from the packages which cover the products. In these packages we can read the features of the product, its scientific ingredients, and how we can prepare it or use it in the moment to cook.

This kind of information about my food affects what I eat because depending of the ingredients I chose if the food is tasty and healthy to me. For example, if I read in the ingredients a high onion content I will not eat that food, or somebody tells me that the food comes with spicy parts I can not eat it either. Therefore, it’s very important to me to know the information about the food I like to eat.
