Lesson B Extended Listening

C.

2 - Online chatting is about using a machine, not interacting with people.

          I disagree.

Reasons:

1. The first part of this statement is correct, but the second part is wrong.
2. In my opinion chatting is a kind of interactive communication with people using a machine called computer connected by Internet, or not, to another computer. So, the communication between then it makes sense only if there are people operating them. Up to now computers can't communicate by itself lonely. It is necessary a program or system to talk each other. For example, they can exchange files and data. Moreover, they need people to operate them. 

4. Real friends are more important then cyber friends.

I agree.

Reasons:

First, a person to be my friend has to inspire confidence, and I can watch this value only personaly, in real time;

Second, usually cyber friends are not a known people, they are strange. They are only contact you do via Internet. Eventually, you can do make friend relationship, but to become a real friend in the sense of this word, it is necessary a time of relationship to be a real friend.

My school experiences

First, it is necessary to identify what means high school in Brazil. After some research using Google, I found out that High School correspond to the degree I made to prepare to enter to university and I made in the period when I was 15 and to 18 years old. So, in this period I prepared myself to enter to university in the course of Electrical Engineering.

I remember that the first year was very difficult. As I told before, I was 15 years old. At that time, I passed in a contest to the first year of a degree that correspont to high school here, in USA. In this year my father got sick and I had many difficulties because he can't continue to work. So my mother had to assume all expenses of my family, and had to help her sharing all responsibilities. It was very hard for my mother and specially for me. It is a bad experience caused by familiar conditions. Even so, he caused a terrible experience that hampered my studies and caused many sacrifices to me.

At the same time, I had also my best experience: I needed a very good grade,  in physics, to pass to second year of that degree. I needed, in fact, something about 9.0 of a maximum grade 10.0. Physics was very difficult because I`ve never studied it. I remember I had to study hardly, and also I hat to work because my father got sick seriously. So, my time was shared with studing physics end my job. I didn't have much time to rest. After to study hard and work, I made the final test and I got the grade 10.0 and I felt relieved and happy. Finally, I can say I really learned how to study. That was a very good experience for  my life.
