Teo and the stars (corrected)

Once upon a time there was a boy called Teo. He lived in a bad town where many people were thiefs and buglars. His life was very monotonous because he had to work in a lonely hotel to help his poor family. When the night came he always watched the stars. He dreamed about going to the university to be an astromer, but he doesn't have enough money to do that.
One day he was in a square and suddenly he watched a man with a telescope. He asked him if he was an astromer, and he was one. His name was Tom, and he made a deal with Teo. He said: "Clean my telescope and I'll teach you astronomy". Teo was so happy. He went to Tom's house to watch the stars and learn about them every night. He was so excited with all the leassons.
On a Friday night a beautiful girl appeared in the front of Tom's house. Her name was Polly. They walked a lot about the space, the stars, constellations and planets. Both fell in love that day, so Polly in a crazy idea asked to Teo if he could go to Mars with her. Teo said YEAH! and they kissed in a space rocket, on the way to the red planet

Movie reviews


"Shrek forever after" is the name of the last film of the green ogre. It was done in 2010 with better computer animated technology than the others movies. As the latest Shrek's movies. famous actors do the voices of these digital characters. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas and Julie Andrews are the best known.
Shrek is not feeling like before, so he makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to get back to feeling like a real ogre. When he prints the deal everything in Far Far Away changes, nothing would as we know.
I really recommend this movie. You are going to have lots of laughts meanwhile you see the film

Movie review: Juno



Juno is the name of an american comedy-drama film that shows the life of a teenager who gets pregnant at sixteen years old. Over the course of the film she faces “this problem” with a strange tranquility and irony that makes the movie in a good experience of 96 minutes.
The main actors of this film are Ellen Page (Juno), Michael Cera (Blekeer), Jennifer Garner (Vanessa) and Jason Bateman (Mark). The last two characters are married. They can’t be parents because Vanessa is infertile. Juno didn’t know what to do with her baby, when someday she find an adoption advice of Vanessa and Mark in a newspaper, so she calls to this marriage. They met in Vanessa’s house and made the adoption deal. For Juno was important to know with what family would take care of her baby, because she didn’t want to raise the child, maybe for her childish behavior.
The soundtrack was made by different alternative groups that made a good accompaniment scene
I recommend this film because show a complicated situation for teenagers but with good sense of humor.

Education in Juno
The film Juno shows differents situations that we can find educational problems. In the beginning of the movie Juno demonstrate a stronger behavior, rebel, who don’t take maturely her life. She lives with her sister, father and step-mother. They don’t are very communicate with her, so the parents image that she have is very poor.
Juno isn’t a common girl, she likes atypical things. For this reason her school classmates are very unfriendly with her. She only have good communication with very few people.
Another problem is the early sexual life and the consequences that it brings if you don’t use protection. She don’t have consciousness of a solid parent figure,  maybe for this reason she’s afraid of be mother. She knows that she’s young and immature to raise a baby
In summary we could say that the problems that we see in this film are basically the result of lakes of communication in a lot of situations that leads serious consequences for the main character of this movie, but at the end she shows a quiet mature behavior that could change her life in a better way

2.   The first thing I noticed about the school was the litter
in the schoolyard. Trash and paper were scattered everywhere. The
building, which could have been very attractive despite its age,
was dingy and dirty beyond belief. A window -pane was broken out
of the main door, and the door itself led into a dark, for
bidding hall. As I walked down the hall, I noticed the messy
bulletin board and, in several places, writing on the wall. No
one greeted me when I entered the outer office, although a
receptionist was sitting there noisily chewing a huge wad of gum
and putting on fingernail polish. All in all. I couldn't help
feeling that the school was poorly cared for.

3.   Through the fog the arc lights high above the stadium
looked like small moons from the field below. The lights were
reflected all over the marshy field in pools of water, an

lengthy warm-up drills, the players now felt the cold and
dampness beginning to penetrate. They were either huddled
together or dancing up and down to keep warm-- that is, all
except our first-string quarterback and our all-state offensive
end, both of whom were out of the game with injuries. They sat
glumly on the bench wrapped in soggy woolen blankets, conditions
could hardly have been worse for this crucial game.


Topic sentence: Conditions could hardly have been worse for this crucial game
Because this sentence summarize the text. Is the general idea, wittin the text
