Marriage

What do you think about marriage? A long time ago, marriage was considered more important than now, because people are engaged with each other, actually nobody has the time for a family.

Marriage is a union of two people who want to be together to share their lives for ever after that they think about children because it is an important thing to star a family.

Most women think that marriage is necessary for life, this is a dream for them but on the other hand, most men think that the marriage is a bad idea because for them is better to be single with out commitments.

Not all people are ready for marriage, when you get married you get a lot of responsibilities, life has radical change, If you did not enjoy your life before then nor now.

Finally, we recommend marriage because you need to be together and have a beautiful family, but you need to be ready for this decision so you never break away.

SHREK

Shrek is a comedy animation movie for children, it have topics about family, adventure, romance and fantasy, the movie was filmed in United states, but it is set in “Far far away” that is a kingdom where all fairy tales princess live, and the swamp where Shrek lives. Shrek (the movie) have two directors: Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, and the main actors and actresses who recorded the voices for the characters of the movie are: Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddy Murphy (Donkey) and Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona).

The story concerns Shrek’s life, he is a green ogre who likes to live alone in his swamp, if he just saw someone or something near his house he scare him or it, he takes mud showers, and wash his teeth’s with dirt. On the other side of the story is donkey (the typical children stories donkey) who is locked in a cage by his owner who wants to sale him to a circus, so donkey achieved to escape and run trough the forest where Shrek was waking, they meet but the difference between them is that Donkey wanted to follow Shrek, but Shrek doesn’t want to be with Donkey, the only thing Shrek wanted to do was recover his swamp, so Donkey and Shrek go to a king’s palace to do it. Just were it is expected all people was afraid about Shrek´s presence so the king give him a mission, that is bring princess Fiona from a far away tower guarded by a dragon, Shrek accepted the offer and Donkey accompany him, they arrive and found princess Fiona, but it was a problem because they have to move from one place to another near dead, and have a lot of adventures during the film, at the end of the story Shrek and Fiona fall in love and Donkey also find a girlfriend who is the dragon of the tower, that result to be a girl dragon.

Shrek the movie is an excellent film, it is one of the best comedies for children and is also a parody about society and fairy tales, they show another side of the fairy tale characters, like their true personalities and different situations, it have so much argument, is not only one story, there are a lot of funny stories in one single movie, and the characters are so different one from another, there are no similarity between any character.

I recommend this movie, just go to the video store and ask for the best animation film, it is definitively a classical.

Opinion Essay

Hallowen
Nowdays all around the world there are a lot of holidays, but one of the most important and most celebrated for children is hallowen. Why is this day so amusing for children?
To begin with children mascarade with the favourite heroes and go with their parents about the streets and malls, children go trick or treatingto receive many candies. All over the world hallowen is celebrated on October 31ºst .
On the other hand, adults drees up as princesses, thinker bell, nurse, adam and eve, sherk and princesses fionas, pirates, gatuelas etc,. For instance in Colombia people use rude costumes.
In addition hallowen song is very disagree because has subliminal messages for children from that they make bad things.
However, adults dont have hallowen ghosts as if chikdren were, they think only drinkings and dancing.
My opinion is that hallowen is the most important day for children and other people, because in this day all the people funny and crazy

“Mother´s Day”
Nowdays, all around the world there are a lot of holidays, but one of the most important and most celebrated is Mother´s day. Why do people choose one day to recognize the love they feel for their mother´s? Let´s see:
To begin with, Mother´s day is a day that people spend to honour their mothers. This day is celebrated in many places but in different days of the year because in every country this can change. For example, in Ireland and the United Kingdom Mother´s day is called Mothering Sunday, and it is celebrated three weeks before Easter Sunday. In the United States it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, this is the same say in Colombia.
But, it doesn´t matter the day of the celebration. All the people have this festive day in honour of the most beautiful woman in the world, their mother. For example, recently in china they celebrate Mother´s day in honour to Meng Mu the mother of Meng Zi. In many western countries people honour the virgin.
My opinion is that, this day is very important because mothers are the most wonderful that a human can have. Besides I think that this day should be celebrated everyday in honour to all mothers.
Finally, I think all the celebrations are done with love and have great meaning for people since they convenes the collective spirit of a community.
