WHAT

MAKES A RELATIONSHIP REALLY WORK? By

Marco Segura

 What

would happen if someone told you “love is not everything in a relationship? Maybe that person is right, you can’t expect love to solve everything in a relationship. On the other hand, love is very important but you have to do your best to make a relationship work. Being faithful is the most important thing. Trust in your partner because nothing is worse than being jealous without a reason. Having new experiences as a couple, taking different trips or doing different activities every week, a routine can kill relationships. Spend time talking about the problems, interest and life projects. Support your partner when they are having bad or good times, always be there. Learn how to avoid problems; however you also have to learn how to confront the problems together.

Physical Intimacy is important too. Being attracted to your special person. Talk about what you like and what you don’t like to do in bed. If you are doing something bad, think about it and change it. Generally women are more worried about the problems in contrast to men. So if you are a guy be alert to the problems. If you are a girl talk about what is making you uncomfortable and you will see a change. Cooperation is the secret to make a relationship work.

Relationships Nowadays it´s getting more difficult to have a long-lasting relationship, you always see grandparents who have been together even for 50 years and they are still loving each other and that´s when you start to ask: How did they really do it?! Well one of the most important things for a couple to stay together for a long time is faithfulness. If there is no faithfulness in a relationship it is not going to work. In some cases one person in the relationship starts cheating on the other and that’s when the problems start to arise. The thing is that when those kinds of problems start happening the trust in the relationship probably gets lost. There´s no doubt that a couple without confidence is like a baby without his bottle. On the other hand, there is one other thing essential in relationships and that is interests. Some people say that it´s very important to have the same interests in a relationship but to what extend is that good or not? Maybe it´s important to have some things in common but having exactly the same interests could become something really boring in the relationship. Sometimes it´s better to have different things with each other. It´s very interesting when you start to do or enjoy thing that maybe you never imagine that you would do. The important thing here is to give your partner the chance to show what is important and what her or she enjoy the most, so you can get to know each other better. The last thing but not the least important for a relationship to work is physical intimacy. There´s no doubt that if there´s no attraction maybe there´s no love. With those three things in mind when you are in a relationship there´s no way to things can get bad. However the thing that has more value in a relationship definitely is love. If there is no love between two persons nothing more is going to be more imp ortant. And remember to be Patient! (=

The Secret ď‚„ Do

you want to know how can you have success with your partner? Well, there are three steps that you have to follow if you want it. Hundreds of marriages have learned to share and they have brought happiness to their lives. How? They have an objective in common: these people have understood the importance of this, because they have seen that if their goals are the same (goals like to travel, objectives like beliefs in God) they are going to walk down the same road, building pillars for their future generations.

Also, it goes hand in hand with the understanding between each other, how?

Well, you just have to know the love language of your couple; you have to love how she or he wants to be loved. And third, the confidence is outstanding, because when you have the security for both sides of your relationship, this one is based on the biggest decision: love. Therefore, Love has to be the rock your relationship is built-up on.

Men

and Women

Marcela  I´d

Hernandez Naranjo

like to talk about the most important differences between men and women, because In general women live longer than men, and I think this is because usually women have better habits than men. For example, women go to the gym or do yoga, however, men prefer to go for a walk or don´t do anything at all. Women try to do diets almost six times in her life. Women prefer to eat more vegetables while men eat more meat; however, most men are happy with their weight. Usually men prefer to spend their free time watching TV, and talking about sports, In contrast women like taking about relationships. Generally women use more time in the kitchen doing housework, on the other hand men don´t tend to do housework.

Men smoke more than women, however women smoke because they say it helps to lose weight and both say that they smoke because it reduces stress. Men tend not to get married until age 30. In contrast women tend to get married at 28 years old. In conclusion I think the most important differences between men and women are about their personalities and different habits.

Media in our lives

 Fernanda Is

Corrales

the media very important in our lives? Many people think it is because they have a lot of ways to communicate with their family and friends. Then, with it you can be informed about what things happen around the country or even the world. That´s the main reason we use it. As you know there are so many ways to communicate, some examples are: Internet, television, radio and newspaper. However it can take up a lot of our time and it could be addictive. Recent studies say that we spend more time seeing television than talking with our family or friends. I think this is true, because nowadays, we don´t eat at the table, we just take our food and go to each other’s room to eat and see TV. But the most important media that affects us is Internet. It is more addictive than other kind of media; young people spend like five or more hours in this. On the other hand, it’s a good tool to share and communicate with people we love, if you don’t abuse of it. If you use it to do your responsibilities maybe you will not be an addict. However, the media doesn’t always say the truth; some of them manipulate the real information to please politicians or someone else. Therefore people think that what news say is always right. Besides it could be dangerous if you believe 100% in it, you can abducted or killed if you believe in what Internet says; that is the biggest media which shows these kind of things. Media is really helpful, but we need to be attentive.

The  Since

media Luis Jiménez Solano

the media started giving people so many tools and ways of communication, we’ve come to a point where we depend on them on a daily basis. We use them in almost every situation because it just simplifies our life. However, it has infinite possibilities and that’s why many people use it for wrong purposes. The reason most of all get caught by media was because is just the way people spend their free time. There are a lot of entertaining things to do, many channels on T.V, infinite websites, games, radio stations, newspapers and magazines depending on people’s choices. On the other hand, thieves sometimes use people’s favorite way to have fun, such as Facebook, to make fraud. It is also known that there are some webpages where you can hire criminals and get illegal stuff. Media is used for business as well, Internet is the most popular way to make connections, get people to know your business by having a fan page.

Publicists know it has become the place where anyone can see their ads. It also has brought a lot of work for people that need to stay home. One of the new developing markets are the community managers that make sure people know your business by posting events, offers and information. In general, people don’t have time for this, that’s why they hire someone else. Media gives us new information every time and any day but sometimes is false. Therefore, although it gives us a lot of benefits, we have to be careful with how we handle it in whatever we are doing. As almost anything in life, finding balance is the way we can properly enjoy our time using the media.

 Today´s

people want to travel around the word, but who doesn’t? this is a normal topic in today´s society; Although sometimes it is difficult, there is a new or modern form to make this dream come true: Swapping homes. There are many reasons to start this adventure, first: culture, second: language and third the experience.

What

makes someone a successful person?

By

Daniela Angulo Chacón

There are a lot of things that can help someone to be successful, but in my opinion these four factors are very helpful for a person that is trying to succeed: you have to believe in yourself, be respectful, be humble and you have to be patient. Believing in yourself is one of the main things that help you to be successful, followed by respect, you have to treat the people as you want them to treat you. Humility, another main factor that you have to apply, because if you aren´t humble no one is going to work or be around you.

Also being a patient person is going to help you in this journey, if you aren´t patient maybe you are a person that is going to give up at the first failure, you have to keep pushing because your dream is never too big to make it.

What

makes someone a succesful person?

 Success

is when a person achieves objectives or dreams that others think they are impossible, the word “successful” is an adjective to describe them. But the meaning might be different depending on the person.  There are some ways of thinking that those successful people have in common that anyone can try.  They have a dream but not only stay as a dream they remember it every day and make a plan of the aspects that can help to make it possible.

They try to study a lot and keep learning and when that dream comes true, they keep working to improve continue growing as successful people.  There are some characteristics they have too.

Successful people have ambition: want to be better so they have self discipline, they are focused in the goals and objectives they have, they work a lot because they are focus on the objectives and the last one they are compromise with the others, they help them a lot.  Everybody can be successful, only need to work and be focus.

Reasons Costa Rica has beat Uruguay and Italy  Costa

Rica has many reasons to beat these two great teams. The surprise was the main factor in the game against Uruguay. For Costa Rica the first game of the world Cup also motivated to seek victory. Uruguay’s first goal was not taken as a disadvantage, but Costa Rica took it as a motivation to continue in the game. Possibly there was an excess of confidence by the Uruguayan, because Costa Rica represented a weak team. In the second half of the game, a decided Costa Rica was seen playing better football, which led the team to victory. The media exploded with this result, but the team took it calmly. What would have happened if Costa Rica had underestimated its opponents?

Maybe right now it would have the same fate of Italy. In this game we did not have as big a surprise factor as in the first game, but the surprise was given in the result. We saw a Costa Rica driven with confidence win in the game and hopefully to qualify to second round. Costa Rica achieved the unexpected victory and achievement crowned as the first team to qualify from the group of death. The main reason for the victory of Costa Rica on these two teams was their union as a group and how they countered their opponent. England is the next opponent of our national team must face.

We have the chance to be world champions.

Hope is the last to die.

Good Movie

good movie is absorbing, because you lose the time and you don´t care, because you are enjoying the movie, when a movie is absorbing is because the movie catch you attention.  If a movie has special effects it is a good movie, because it is striking, if a movie is action it obviously needs special effects, also If it is a horror movie, because the public really enjoy this.  Good cast, because if the public sees a famous cast, the people trust that it will be a good movie, if the movie has a famous star they will be interested.  Also important is the fact that a movie needs an interesting and a good plot, a plot is usually built around a conflict, problem or struggle between opposing forces. A plot is the sequence in events in a story.  Also important, where is the movie set, if it is in England or Paris, some people worry about it, because the people like to see good scenery.  The most important about the movie is the opinion of the public, if they recommend it and what they think about the cast, and principally if the people like the plot and the ending.

Movies Luis 

Jiménez

Defining what makes a good movie is hard because it depends on what people like the most. It also depends on the period of time because old movies used to be slower and some in black and white. Nowadays movies tend to be quicker, all happens really fast and every year it has better visuals effects. Some of the reasons people like a movie isn´t how much the producers spend on the movie or the publicity but some other bunch of factors. Some of the better movies or sagas started from the bottom, with not so much money and then with the money they got, did a better one. But there are definitely some things people are looking for in almost any movie. The cast is something really relevant because people trust the most known or favorite actors. But sometimes actors that aren’t so famous do a great work, but in general movies with the famous movie stars are better. Where the movie is set is something that attracts some people or another, there are some space fans or middle-earth fans or just people who like them to be realistic. This is connected with the genre of the movie and this defines just with it the perception someone is going to have of that movie. In general men tend to dislike romantic movies and women tend to dislike fantasy or violent movies.

The base for a good storyline, which is also a very important factor, is commonly from books because it is hard to make a movie from the star because just the production is hard work. One of the things that make a memorable movie is the soundtrack, If it has a sticky song, a good orchestra or a nice sound effects it adds more points. In conclusion, every year there are new movies every month, some of them are not worth seeing it and others the complete opposite. In the end, there are some few movies that stay in our hearts and define a time we were living and make us remember and that´s what really matters.

What

makes a good movie?

  If

By Marco Salas

you want to see a good movie maybe this would help you to choose one. Listen to the critics; they get paid to do reviews on movies.

The storyline is one of the most important parts of a good movie. The people who star in the movie make a big difference between a good movie and a bad movie. If the storyline is good but the actors don’t make you feel what the movie is trying to show, it loses the illusion. As well if the actor is good but the storyline is bad maybe you would be seeing a great actor killing aliens with a cow. The environment of the movie is important too. The costumes of the film should be combined with the environment. If the movie make you feel, what you are seeing is real, it is a good movie.

The soundtrack could make a hero or a villain of somebody. So the music is important too.

The special effects have to look real and credible so the people get immersed in the movie. A good movie is a great combination of the factors discussed above.

Taking

Good Pictures

A

good photo is when something or someone is right there just to remind you of the moments of happiness. In a personal way a good photo could be one that you took in a moment that you felt happy or that you saw something special that you want to remember for the rest of your life.  For a professional picture it has to have specific things that help to take that good photos, the main factors are the light, weather and seasons.

When someone is a photographer he or she has to pay attention to things ordinary people may take for granted, or worse, not even notice and you have to care about whatever you’re shooting, with the color and light you can make the people feel that they are there, where the picture was taken.  Another thing if you are photographing a person, focus on the eyes to capture all kinds of looks or expressions, and tell that person to control the movements of his body in a relaxed manner, if it is a structure try not to put the building in the center of the picture, try capture a whole different scenario with a nice view with the building on the side.  Good photographs place you in a particular moment in time, they tell a story, or they speak to your emotions.

What

makes a good teacher?

Everything

in this life is about balance, even in the education field.

This area is so important because it is about people forming other people and those who teach must have so much influence in their students: understanding teachers have to be qualified to discern the environment in their class and see the needs of the scholars. Knowledgeable professors must ensure to be people who know what they are talking about with a lot of depth. At the end all has to be routed at Inspiring, a teacher without passion should look for something else.

The

Job Interview

 Searching

for a job sometimes could be difficult, due to all the candidates. However, the key factor to get the job is having an excellent interview.  For that reason people in general have to take into account some aspects like personal presentation, confidence and oral skills because they say many things about a person  The first impression is always important, you have to try to dress up correctly, for example if is in an office or an important company you should wear a suit, but this can change depending of the type of work you’re applying for.  Then another aspect is the confidence you show, the way you move and the eye contact is very important you have to trust yourself and show who you are.  The way you talk is also vital, because this will show the way you express your ideas and it is easy for you or not. The person, who conducts the interview, will take into account these aspects to make a decision.  To guarantee a successful interview you should follow these suggestions to be the best applicant for the job.

The

Interview

 When

you get a job interview, you have to think from the beginning in your personal presentation, the curriculum and practice what you are going to say in the interview and the most important is to arrive early.  First, the personal presentation has to reflect seriousness, confidence and security, you have to dress properly and for extra points have a fresh breath.  Then, in the curriculum you shouldn´t lie, because if the interviewer is aware he will rule out the possibility of hiring you. You can search for help, tips to correctly write a resume, many people are not hired because of that.  Also, practice what you are going to say in the interview It is going to help you not to be so nervous and not to make mistakes in the interview and It´s important to have a good vocabulary too.  If you take all these points into account and also arrive early, you will have a positive result in the interview.

The

Ideal Job

 When

I was fifteen, my parents gave me a professional camera . I didn't know how to use it, so I signed up for classes with a photographer. As I grew up, it was getting more interesting for me. it was always easier to use technology; a friend told me that I should study something related to technology because I was really good at it. I made some research and I liked very much engineering. Mean while, I keep taking pictures and creating art with my camera.

My ideal job would be working half time as an Information Systems engineer and half time as a photographer. I like both very much!
