I met Luigy in fourth grade of elementary school. We were never very close because we were in different classrooms. But it changed this year. We're not close friend, but talking with him is always nice, we have plenty of energy. Nevertheless, I consider myself an introverted person, while he is extroverted.

Maybe we get along because we have a lot of things in common. For example, we both like to be with groups of people. However, we have a few very close friends. I have never liked the routines nor do the same things every day without emotion and neither have he, we both like a lot of variety in our lives.

Fortunately, we don't have so many differences. The only difference happens when we are talking. I tend to speak first and think later. Sometimes it is a problem because many times I hurt people's feelings. I'm used saying the things exactly as they are in my head. On the other hand, Luigy thinks very carefully about what he says. He's very careful with his words.

In conclusion, we may not be the most similar people, and our personalities don't coincide but we get along very well and it's always nice to have a talk with him.

My partner was Franchesco, we were both absent. He is also my partner at school, we sit next to each other ,that is why I can infer a bit about his personalityand what are our similarities and differences. He is not a responsible student and he is a bit shy. That key point gives me an idea about his personality. He is so different from me I am an extrovert person.However , I think that he is kind of introvert person.

About our similarities, he has plenty of energy, so do I. When I ask him to do something in group, , like go out with friends , he accepts. Another similarity is that he likes a lot of variety in his life, he does not like the common things, he wants to try another things , out of routine. We only coincide in two sentences.


About our differences. I tend to speak first and think later, however he is very careful about what he says. He is a more thoughtful person. Besides, another mates think that he is very calm, also I think that.In contrast, when I am worried or something like that, I feel overwhelmed and I start shouting at my friends. Another difference is that I like to talk with my friends a lot. On the other hand, he talks only when the topic is truly important 

In conclusion we are very different , but that is not an obstacle to reamin being friends. We can also learn from each other is good characteristics to help us to be better persons and citizens.

Wee, I have an ICPNA classmate named Alan. He is 12 years old. He is studying at school. He is very naughty, restless, cheerful, but also he studies a lot and for me he is a good boy because he has many qualities. I am older that him for 7 years. I'm studying at university. However, we both have similar personalities, for instance:

First, he likes to be with groups of people just like I do, because I can feel more comfortable and where I go and I don't like to be alone. We both like a lot of variety in our life because we think that if everything is the same every day if would be very boring.

Second, there is also one difference between our personalities. I enjoy being in public places that are full of activity so that I can meet and talk with different types of people. In contrast of him who doesn't enjoy being in public places that are full of activity because he feels stressed with so many people and noises.

So, we are friends after all. We both have similar personalities, but no equal.  He likes some things just like me, but on the other hand. We have few differences.

Essay-Judith Vila


The principal cause for the people concerned about their body image is the influence that the people have in the TV or the magazines. This kind of media promote kinds of body image, specially for the women, for example the models of the television. They are slim and tall principally; for this reason the young people think they look beautiful if they have the same body image.
Maybe there are positive effects, for example many people take care her heigth and personal image. This is positive because of once form they take care their health and try don't consume fast food or this kind of food.
On the other hand I think there are more negative effects specially for younger people. This represents the most part of the population, who try to look like the people who work in the arts industry ( models, actors, singers, etc). But hardly ever are the youngest people who aren't conform with their body image. For this reason young people develop eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia.
In my opinión this problem has many and very bad consequences, the young people triying to look better come to have serious problems.

BODY IMAGE AND ITS EFFECTS

Nowadays personal appearance has become an indispensable factor for many people, this given by the fact that that peoples  surroundings influence the decisions they make.
            We live in a world of many changes, so this creates many opportunities to get different and more creative jobs, as a result people need to think about their presentation when applying for jobs or  when meeting new people.
The positive effects of this behavior are that people take care of themselves and think about their healthy life, also diseases decrease and improve their style of life.
            the negative effects would be that people could become very superficial, worrying only about theie external appearance, also incurring  unnecessary expenses.
I think the effects are more negative than positive, because people only let themselves be carried by the superficial and they should not limit themselves.

At present, in our society, concern about physical appearance has grown. Many people feel dissatisfied with their body image that is caused by giving much importance to beauty, youth and health. It's believed that women are more concerned about this but there are also males. As the media has influenced a lot, especially the TV that shows "ideal people" who have the beauty, the perfect physique, take for example the case of TV show, where there are so many models of beauty. Many young people have thought that to be attractive, only the physical appearance matters, are caused by the stereotypes and comments of others.

The positive effects are that some of the fat people take precautions about their bad diet and improve it. And in the case of the weak people try to feed more and improve their health.
The negative effects are that if they do not like their body or some part of them they feel failed, embarrassed, they think that they will not like nobody and expect the rejection of the others as a result of their physical. Also this can cause the obsession to look perfect, eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

In my opinion, I think there are some effects to rescue, since they themselves improve their attitude as doing exercises, take care of their nutrition and have good health, but it isn't good to take it to the extreme or make it an obsession. But above all, it's accepting oneself and loving oneself as it's.

People are concerned because the society tell us how you need to look be "perfect". A positive effect could  be that they try to have a healthy body and healthy life. A negative effect is that It could cause and addiction to have a great muscle or have a body like the models or actors. In my opinion they are bad because in the trying to have a good body you could have an addiction, and it could cause damage in your  health.
