Strategies for pre/while/after

Reading

Pre:
1) Read the titles, this will give you an idea of what are you reading, this excercise will take no longer than 1 minute.
2) Read the questions of the lecture, this excercise will help on puting more atention to critic parts of the text.





While:
1) Rereading the will help you understanding hard words, understand better the topic and the developement of the thesis statement.
2) Reading rate, some people read fast, they belive that readind as fast as posible is good, but at the end, they forgot most of the text, thats why is important to read with an appropiate reading rate.

After:

1) Summarizing the key ideas, after reading you should try to remember the key ideas of the text, it shouldn't be hard if you have been reading with carefull.2) Try to retell the story or the hole text using your own words.

Internacional English

Most of the people argue that english is no more attached to those contries who speake it like its first language, they say, english is internacionalized, so much that new words are being used, like sushi.

Some of the conuntries that somehow helped shaping the english langauage where:

- Germany (Anglo-Norman)

- Netherlands

And some countries that use it primarly, and in the process enriched it: Anguila, australia, Jamaica, Mahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Belize, Cayman Isles, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guyana, Soth Georgia and Sandwich Isles, Saint Helena, Singapores, U.S, New Zealand, Jersey, Guam.

Other countries which not use it as its primary language has influenced the english, like Mexico referring to food, or Japan when they speak about anime or techology, not only countries, also new developements in science has bring new terms.

The International English has taken a great impact on me, I find it useful because I can adapte better a easier, I understand words that are being used in every part to the world, Its more easy to communicate with a person than before thanks to that fact.

Developement of Thesis Statement

Topic:

What are the two sides of dead penalty, is it a cruel murderer or a just punishment? Can it be a deterrent of crime?

Thesis Statement:

Dead penalty its an example to dangerous criminals who wants to break the law, punish criminals with notorius crimes and makes a safer place to non dangerous criminals in jail. Its more cheaper than keepin a person for a lifetime, so resources can be focus in more criminals. Dead penalty is relly a deterrent of crime.

Argumentative Essay

Globalization

Underdeveloped countries are not able to compete against richest countries in a globalized world, because those countries lose their competitive advantage in social, economic, and political aspects as a labor exploitation and opportunity to hang about in an open market.

Firstly, undeveloped countries will loose economic advantages because when these countries abolish the tariffs, imported assets will be more competitive than national. In addition to that, restrictions will be abolish too and competitiveness will be more fierce and hard, not only in imported assets but in exported assets. This is why poor countries are more vulnerable against rich countries and this explains why they are going to be even poorer.

Also underprivileged countries tend, in a globalized world to abuse people, more known as labor exploitation, especially in children with a low income and countries with a weak currency. Even if this is a wrong use of an economical exercise this aspect has a bigger impact in the society. One example is Sierra Leone, where poverty has reached more than 70 percent of poorness and big percentages in labor exploitation a huge contrast against rich countries as Sweden, due to direct and indirect influence of globalization.

In conclusion, a globalized world divides the world because richer countries are prepared to face it while undeveloped countries are not. Moreover, prosperous countries are more likely to abuse and take advantages, which most of the times are unjust and damages the countries.
