Mr. Asturias:
I hope you and your activities are going great. I’m writing to ask your support in a proposal I have. Since everybody at school is talking about the new expansion in the students club range, I’m writing to propose a new club for our school. I want to propose a fight club. I'm not talking about a literal fight club, but rather a debate club. I think that there are many topics that the students will want to discus with others students or with some teachers. The students will have the opportunity to express themselves and maybe they can make some changes in the school.

Many fights in the school start because there are two students who disagree with something. The students start with verbal aggression and then the physical aggression. This club can avoid many fights at the school because in this club you can discuss any topic or situation. The violence in the school will decrease and in return you will have ordered and well-structured discussions. There are many students that have a lot of ideas and their own opinions of something but they need to kwon how to express in the best way without having to resort to violence with other student who disagree. This club will not only decrease the violence but also will teach to the students how to do a good debate. The students will know how to prepare their arguments and counter arguments of the topic under discussion. I think that this is important for the students because they will be professionals and they need to know how to express and argument their opinions, and how to counter argument the opinions of others without been disrespectful with the other person or persons. This club can teach to the students some education about how to discus with other persons and how to get to an agreement or solution with another person without violence and resentment. Also the students will know how to accept when they are wrong and they will accept a best idea or opinion. Your school will have compressible and educated students.

I hope you consider my request. After all, I think a fight club is going to be beneficial for everybody in our school. We have a long way and we still can develop it. For this reason, I hope you write me back telling me your answer and giving back all the things we need to register the club in our school. Hoping this will not cause you any trouble.

Sincerely,
Carlos Danilo De Leon C.

Guatemala September 6th 2011

Dear Luis:

Hello Luis, how are you doing? I hope that you are fine. It has been long time since we last talked. You never finished telling me what happened with the problem with your girlfriend. Could you solve it? We need to get together to catch up. The reason why I’m writing you is because your sister told my sister that you have serious problems with the IB program because your best friend was diagnosed cancer. I know that it is a hard situation that also affects your IB scores but you don´t need to drop out from everything. I can give you some tips to handle this situation and to start your first year of the IB program.

You need to understand that the cancer of your friend is something that is out of your hands. I understand that you are in depression; this depression affects your classes. The cancer can be controlled, so you need to be positive and cheerful because your friend needs it. You need to give support to your friend and I think that your friend needs you with a good mood in this days to handle the cancer. Your mood can have an influence in your friend, accordingly if you have a positive or negative mood.


In your first year of the IB program my first advice is that you need to select the subjects in superior level that you find easier because the subjects in superior level are more difficult than the ones in the other level. You can choose subjects in standard level that you don’t like or you are not very good. One important thing is that you need to realize that you will spend a lot of time studying and enormous amounts of hours working. Don´t freak out of this, you only need to organize yourself, and you need to do a schedule. With your schedule you will finish all your projects and works in time and you will have time to study for the exams. The key of this is to be organized because the projects and laboratories are not actually very difficult, you only need to have the time and dedication to do them. The benefit of doing this is that you will feel comfortable delivering everything on time without any concern or pressure. But the most important is that your will prepared to the university because you will develop the ability to organize yourself to do the works in the university and also in your life.

I hope that this advice can help you in your IB program; if you take this advice I guarantee you that the IB will be easier. And I hope that your friend continues to be better. I am sure that you will know how to support him.

Sincerely yours,

Danilo De Leon Coosemans

Coban

By: Carlos Danilo De Leon Coosemans

Travelling can make you change your thinking and do not think you have to go far to do so.

Traveling is an amazing experience that the persons can do because we can meet beautiful places and cultures that we don´t know. I think that the best age of travelling is when we are young because we can learn from different persons and different places. And we are used to living with our traditions and people, but it is good to travel out. All we know is that the outside is different and we can learn a lot of things of these different places, but we don´t need to go so far away to meet beautiful places and different kinds of persons. That’s my case when I traveled to Coban during my vacations.

I live in Guatemala and I traveled to Coban; it´s a little trip but it had effects in me. Initially I really did not want to go because I had some birthday parties of my friends. I was upset because my parents forced me to go and I was thinking that it would be a boring trip. But when I was in Coban, I saw the landscapes that Coban has and changed my mind. I had visited Coban as a child but I did not remember anything, I noted that Guatemala has beautiful places to visit and I didn’t really know it.

One of the good effects that travelling to Coban caused on me was that I met a different persons, and what I mean is that the persons were from different cultures and had different ways to have fun. I met a family that has a big collection of “bonsai”; they use these bonsais like a hobby and always to have a family time to share. This family always cares about the environmental issues and they separate their trash in three different kinds organic waste, plastics and glass. They take advantages of organic waste using it as fertilizer, so they don´t waste their money on fertilizer. The other thing that travelling to Coban caused a good effect in me was the beautiful places that Coban has and not all the people know about them. We visited the most common touristic places on Coban; Semuc Champey and Las Grutas de Lanquin. Semuc Champey is an incredibly beautiful natural limestone bridge resting on top of a river, with little waterfalls and pools of crystal clear water that are excellent for swimming. And Las Grutas de Lanquin is a large cave with excellent formations and a river that flows under it. I thought the beautiful landscapes happened only in other countries and that Guatemala had beautiful scenery, but by visiting these two places changed my mind and I learned that Guatemala also has good things.

Traveling can teach you so many things and you can meet others kinds of persons, cultures and beautiful sceneries, and we can learn about them. It´s your choice to know more about the world around you; do not shut yourself in a social group with a closed mind. You can visit beautiful places without going out of your country, and you can learn many things of your country if you travel it.
