UNIT 7. DID THE CHINESE DISCOVER AMERICA?
My opinion about the discovery of America
To talk about this topic (Did the chinese discover America?) is not easy because many people say one thing about and other say anotger one and also because the discovery of America has for times been credited to Christopher Columbus, but I read in a histoy book that reserachers have discoverd ancicient scrips that suggest Chinese explorers may have discovered America belong before Europeans arrived here.
Also it says that they have found pictograms etched into the rocks around the country that appear to belong of an ancient Chinese script. They say could have been inscribed there alongside the carvings of Native Americans by Chinese explors thousands of years ago.
My opinion about this topic is that before talking about it we have to study careful the books which have information of who discovered it. But sometimes I think that because of the things that Chinese wrote (the ancient scrip) maybe it is true that Chinese discovered America before Columbus.

THE NAME GAME
UNIT 6 THE UPS AND DOWNS OF YO-YOS
MY EXPERIENCE ABOUT YO-YOS
When I was a child there were many kind of games but one of the most played one was yo-yo. Children play it in different ways. I usually play yo-yo with my friend Anersy. We spend a lot of time playing and competing, I remember a day that she won twenty times and I just twice. From that time I was frustrated. After that I practiced during all the free time I had. Two weeks later I won four times more than she. Then I was happy because I was the winner. Now I think that I was wrong because in life is not only win sometimes we must learn to lose, too.
Nowadays I compare life with YO-YOS. Why? because I think life is like UPS and DOWNS of yo-yos. This is because sometimes you are up but sometimes you are down in life. And you have to learn to live up and down and accept the things life offer you.
Many people are like I was for that time because when they are down they feel like It is all over but we have to be careful about it because every time you fall, you should try to get up. Life is wonderful but this wonder depends of us and how we organize it or what we do in our lives. I suggest you live like YO-YOS that they ups and downs but continue being a game and you as a person must accept ups(good things happen to you) and downs(bad things happen to you) and stay alive.

Did the Chinese Discover America?
According to Menzies's theory, the Chinese arrived on American shores 71 years before Mr. Columbus. He claims that because at that time China was a naval superpower with a strong armada.
Moreover, Gavin Menzies says in his work that China made seven major expeditions with ships which were lengthier than Christopher's ships.
Menzies also says that the Chinese did not colonized America because the emperor in that age lost power to his son, and the new one shut the door to explorations.
To me, that theory does not apply to the reality because is widely believe that the Spanish people were the ones who came to the New world before than any one else. Also, there are clear documents that support the actual work of spanish colonists. But the questions are, why the new Chinese emperor stopped the the expeditions? Do you believe that a country with a strong fleet will back away its success? To me, it doesn't make sense because all of us know that any country will stop its achievement or its influence in a foreign land.
The Ups and Downs of yo-yos
The matter of the fact is that no one knows where the toy came from. Otherwise, some people claim that the yo yo came from China about 3,000 years ago. Others believe it originated from Greece around 500 B.C., while others say that it came from France, and some others assume that the plaything came from Philippines.
Moreover, yo yo has appeared worldwide, it has appeared in India, France, England, Philippines, United States, Dominican Republic, and others. It also has been used for remarkable people. For example, in 1791 Mme. Vigée-Lebrun pictures the future King Louis xvll playing with a Yo yo. Another important person who used a Yo yo was Napoleon in the battle of waterloo in 1815,and George lv of England played with one yo-yo.
So, don't disparage the toy without taking a brief look to its history because it can surprise you.
Unit 4: Mastering the Law of Gravity
Likewise, Yuen came from an important Beijing opera family. He was born in 1945 and was the eldest child in his house. By the moment he was 20, he started work as an actor and stuntman in Hong Kong movies. In 1979, he opened his own production and action choreography film in Hong Kong, and in 1992, won the Hong Kong Film Award for action choreography in "Once Upon a Time in China ll". But it wasn't until The Matrix movie in 1999 that Yuen got wide fame as a choreographer. He also worked in Matrix Reloaded and The matrix Revolutions, as well. In addition, Yuen is known for his good sense of humor when he was acting. Thus, he used brushes, umbrellas, and plates as impromptu weapons in his scenes of fighting.
Finally, I recommen you to see yuen's movies and to his style of acting. Likewise, I invite you to look for his personal information because he is an interesting actor, and because you can learn things from his experiences.

UNIT 5 SMART CARS, INTELLIGENT HIGHWAYS
Smart cars
Every day in our generation people try to invent many differents and modern things. One of those things is SMART CARS. I think they will be amazing. First of all because they will be confortable and important specially to people who work, study, or have too many things to do during the day from a place to other.
Unfortunately Smart Cars couldn't be use in Dominican Republic these days. This is because in our country we have many problems which don't permit us to use Smart Cars. A thing of these problems is the streets which aren't prepare for that. In order to use Smart Cars we need better streets, sidewalks, electricity, and others important things that Smart Cars need and we don't have it.
Also Smart Cars will be expensive. I think only rich people could buy them. Nowadays in our country we don't have a good economic situation but I hope It changes. If these changes happened we will be able to buy a Smart Car.
My peronal opinion is that Smart Cars will be one of the most good invention. This invention would be able to drive alone and while we are going to different places we can do others things such as do a job from work,make a phone call, eat because some times we don't have the time enough to do it, and others personal things like these. I would like to have a Smart Car. They would be amazing.

UNIT 4 MASTERING THE LAW OF GRAVITY
I am a person who don't like to whatch tv. First of all this is because I do not have enough time to do it and I do not like it either. Whenever I whatch a movie, I feel I am wasting my time. This is of my point of view because many people like whatch tv a lot and they relax their lives whatching movies, news, soap opera, and so on.
Even though I don't like movie. I have a favorite one. It names Perico Ripiao. It's a Dominican movie and It's a really funny. This movie has 3 main actors who are in hail. Their names are Manuel, Muricio, and Francisco. These actors are very funny person and creative, too. The firts day that I saw it Iwas crying because of the laugh. I remember I couldn't stop laughing. I laugh too much.
Perico Ripiao's movie had been seen around all the movie theather from Dominican Republic. There are others good Dominican's movies but never like Perico Ripiao. If you haven't seen this movie I suggest you to try to do it because It's really funny movie I'm sure of that.

URBAN LEGENDS .
An urban legend is a tale of comtemporary folklore that purports to be true and is often designed to elicit an emotional response from the audience . These stories allegued to be true and just plausible enough to be believed , about some horrific ,ironic or exasperating series of events that supposedly happened to a real person.
From my childhood I have heard of witches they are old deformed women ,perverse and night dwellers ,they do fly on brooms in this form they can fly closer to houses with loud screaming sounds.People say that the witches will suck the blood of the children either from the navel or the big toe .

When you are watching some of these movies you can’t turn around. For me one of the best is Jackie Chan, in fact, he is famous worldwide. And second place but not less important is Jet Li.
Jackie is a star. I had seen all his movies many times. Rush Hour and Changhai Noon are two of my favorites. I like him because he is so authentic and when he has a project or he is working in some action film he not uses stunts. He does the dangerous scene himself.
· The spy
· Chinese zodiac
· Who am i?
· Police story
· Skiptrace
· Rumble in the Bronx
· The forbidden kingdom and many others.
By the way, the best part of his movies for me you can find it at the end of the film. When he makes it bad he laughs himself. Therefore, I really like him.
Thoroughly, the master was Bruce Lee, but not my favorite.
Let me conclude with this, his last movie was Dragon Blade a historical action film.
JOHANNY: Thanks for having me! Well i am a chef and owner. I am the person who put the things in orden and cook great food.
INTERVIEWER: Why had you chosen that name?
INTERVIEWER: Fascinating! Thanks for talking to us.

Once you must have heard an urban legend. Because that is part of the life, there are stories so difficult to believe. In fact, true or false the Urban Legends exist.
Through my short existence, i had heard a lot of eerie histories, some gruesome stories and others not at all. One of those legends was about a man who saw a woman walking on the street and decided to carry on, but with the girl. All the lane, he had been talking with her, but she hadn't been answering him. Soon he notices something strange with her, then the lady disappeared. Immediately, the man blacked out, some hour ago when he came to he was at his home and good. So Can you imagine that scene? How could goes he at home? or Who...?
In addiction, i don't know how that could had happened or whether he have told trustworthy... The recipients could have thought that this legend was invented. Couldn't you?

Smart Cars, Intelligent Highways
We human beings have made an unarguably progress on mode of transport, especially on the land one. We have passed from horses and carriages to mechanical and electrical vehicles. And all of this makes me wonder: What will happen in the far future? Will cars fly? Won't cars need a driver?
When thinking about groundbreaking cars features, these are the first ones that come to my mind:
- Hovering: I think cars will hover around 20cm off the road. To make this possible, the car might be made of a hard and non-heavy material.
- No driver: Currently there are some companies, such as Google, that are testing their taxies with no drivers. These taxies will be always connected to the cloud, getting information about the traffic and the streets, and the weather. Of course, GPS will be included.
- Electric motors: There are already vehicles that work with electric motors, like high-speed rails and e-bikes. There will be as many electric stations as gas stations are currently.
- No buttons: Cars will carry a computer with voice command device that will allow people to give orders like lock and unlock the door, turn or off the radio, etcetera. The car computer will interact with its owner.
