Lesson 3 – Essay
Practice
A. Do you remember the Essay on Cooking Skills that we mentioned in previous videos? Look at this sample answer and answer the questions by choosing the right answer. (More than one answer is possible.)
Nowadays, knowing how to cook is a really important skill, not only will it help you when you are hungry and you want to eat, but it will also help in a few more ways.
Being a good cook is not doing – preparing good plates, it is also making them healthy, and that is something that our generation is not good at. We are so used to eating fast food that whenever we try to cook, we end up doing similar food as the one we normally eat.
But knowing how to cook doesn’t only apply to cooking at home, but it can also be used in a job, like being a chef. The only problem with this, is that unless you have natural talent at cooking, there aren’t many places where you can learn how to cook, and the cooking schools that exist, are normally always full and really expensive.
In conclusion, I think that we should learn how to cook at school, because it is a basic skill that will not only help us have healthier lives, but it will also help us be prepared for certain jobs that require knowing how to cook.
When it comes to watching films there are two big options you choose from watching at home or watching it in a cinema.
On one hand, you may like watchng movies at home because you can lay down in your sofa and relax with a soft blancket covering you from the cold, but on the other hand you could prefer watching a movie in the theaters, because of the larger screen, the quality of the image and you can also enjoy the smoothness of the speakers.
In my exeperience going to the cinema is a far better option, but there is a problem, transport. The biggest problem of the cinema is getting to it. For example, I live in a city where there is no cinema and the closest one is four hours away. This problem does not exist when it comes to watching movies at home, because you are at home!
But if I had to choose I would always pick the theaters, they allow you to enjoy a wider view of the movie and some times in 3D or even 4D. Either way the important thing is wwatching a movie.
Good job, remember to make it more impersonal. Try not to address the reader.
How about adding a question to catch the readers´attention in the first paragraph?
Lesson 3
Watching a film at the cinema or at home
The convenience is similar, if it is about the film. But about the comfort, there is a difference concerning the sound system, screen, space of the place. Watch a film at the cinema permits to benefit of atmosphere understated elegance, elegant setting, muted ambience.
At home, there are others conveniences: the time choice to watch the film, the choice of persons who can watch a film with you.
Experience
In this time, moreover watch a film at the cinema is always enjoyable. Because the movie theater is very comfortable, the soft lights illumine the space. But the price of the ticket is more expensive.
Watch a film at home, nowadays appear handier.
Your idea
I prefer watch a film at home for much reasons: the snugness of the room make it a perfect place to watch a film, without noises, nor strange persons around you.
I like this topic as well. Good ideas, especially the description of a cinema at the beginning.
In English when we describe an action if we are generally speaking, we use the ING. (Gerund)
For example,
Watching a film at home is more convenient. Watching a film at the cinema could be more expensive.
I ask you the same question that we mentioned in the previous essay- HOw would you write an introductory paragraph?
Siempre es útil escribir un pequeño párrafo introductorio para presentar el tema.
Essay 3
1-Environnement
The progress of environment no can be possible without a great effort of all the humanity. The safeguarding of forests is one of the priorities to save the environment. To limit the global warming, it is reasonable to reduce greenhouse gas emission. It is the right thing to limit the pollution and save the environment.
2- Communications enable home office – less pollution
Moreover, these days the information and communications are available to make easier the work’s relations, student’s studies, secret’s mission of state. It is possible to work remotely with a broadband connection. More people don’t use their cars, the public transport reduces number of frequency traffic, and the offices aren’t using more electricity. These possibilities allow a decrease of levels of pollution.
3-Conclusion: technology and progress is a priority when it is environmentally friendly
For all these reasons, I firmly recommend following more efforts to develop that technology: “technology to the rescue of environment”. This technology is able to afford reducing the problem of pollution, but the effect of measures and steps that the governments do to save our planet is more important.
There is a very strong and direct link between:
Technology and medium of communications: TV, Radio, Internet
Environment’s Office
Agriculture’s Department, etc…
I like the idea of “Technology to the Rescue of the Environment”
I also like the fact that you mention the effort of all human beings!
Vamos bien, Bahia!

The health is more important in the life than another thing. But to preserve it, we need to respect some rules.
Firstly, eat with healthy, how?
-observe our nutrition;
-eat only three meals in day, breakfast, lunch and dinner;
-eat a healthy diet, with lots of fruits and vegetables;
-no cook vegetables so much;
-no eat much red meat, opt for the white meat.
Secondly, do sports, minimum on three times in a week. Exercise is good for the health.
Thirdly, drink water between one o two liters in a day.
Jobs
I need to tell about the teenagers or the young person jobs. Now many of them need work to have more money, to pay their studies, to buy lovely things, to enjoy themselves. For that, they opt for one job in the fast food, in the restaurant, in the library.
For them, the work avoids doing something wrong.
Own idea
For me, health and job constitute two things more important in the life. If we have a good health and one job it is the right way to continue. It is the good start in the life. The relation between these two components is the base of the life.
GOod job!
