Homework

Classwork:

 

1 – the past year made me understand a lot of things however one of the things I learned the most was to be more close to family. This made me get to know my family a lot better and do the thing that I will always remember.

2 – after this coronavirus is over one of the first things I wanna do is go to college am a freshman and I still don’t know how the school looks like and am very excited about getting to know new people in college.

3 – one of the songs I like the most and is my favorite song right now is god plans by drake. Just the title means so much to me because am a person who believes that everything has its own times and the only god knows when things can happen this is very influential to me because I’m that I can be planning things so much ahead because the only god knows if he gonna let the happens or no.

Final draft unit 1

When am with my family or friends a word that you hear a lot in our conversation is BOBO. This word has become so important to me because throughout time it has been a way of saying multiple things in one single word. Over time I have not changed my perspective about this word each day I like it even more. For example ay un bobote this means there is a big problem. This word so important to me and my community because we used this world to express how we feel about something that is big but with the word we can express it more calmly. From the most lower-class community to the highest-class community the word BOBO has become a lot more familiar. Is very common for us to say ay puse un huevo que BOBO.(I put an egg)  BOBO is a way to explain that I did a mistake without having to say what it is, I can just be like ay un BOBO. For example with all this quarantine thing we can be at a party and if the police arrive that’s a BOBO. This is a perfect example because it tells how we in trouble and we gonna sleep at the prison but you can just be like ay que BOBO. Sometimes it just feels cools to say the word BOBO especially when you don’t know what it means but when you have an explanation by someone who knows the word BOBO there is when the community starts growing.

BOBO is when you make a mistake or something bad is about to happened. This has been an iconic word for the Dominican Republic because even if they see the police they would say ay un BOBO.

Sometimes people who are not part of this discourse community try to do the same but it just doesn’t work because we are so used to saying it that it comes out naturally. However, when the word is in people mouth that don’t even know how to speak Spanish is good cuz they try saying it and is a new word for there vocabulary. This world is not in the dictionary which means that not a lot of people can say this world. However, when you hear this word on a group of people you can tell they Dominican without even having to say where they from. Even though some people be ignorant of this word. Just because they believe that if the word BOBO is not on the dictionary they are just talking nonsense.

A few months back I was in the Dominican Republic with friends families and more people out in the streets. Everyone was happy like any other day in the Dominican community. Until a Dominican artist pops out with a son called Los BOBO son Mio. This was a very interesting song that got everyone’s attention no matter if you were young are old. I got so into this word that I came back to the united state and everything I would say is BOBO. This got to a point that I was saying it so much at my working place and home that people that didn’t know about it started saying BOBO. When I got back I remember saying to my grandma mama ay un BOBO and she already knew something was wrong because this word means a problem. I got used to saying this so so so much that my family instead of calling my name now they call me BOBO better. Some people don’t like when I say this word however some people take it as something dramatic or a way to overreact to something. In my opinion, at this point, every single Latino person should know this word because is very common to know and since the word originally came from a song is a lot easier for a person to learn it. People in general who do not knows the word shouldn’t say is a bad word if you don’t know it as a human been you should always be open to learned new things that would help you to always have your vocabulary full.

If I could publish my article it would be at the New York Times since is one of the biggest company but since I don’t like reading and  a lot of people besides me also hates reading. Therefore I would also do a mini-documentary with graphics or people talking that would give you a better understanding. Is very important to get people’s attention so if I can find a better way that I can convey to my audience what they wanna know is very important to me as a writer. The word BOBO each day has become more popular my question is why should we stop using it if the word is clean. And it doesn’t mean anything wrong. This word will forever be a word that was added to our Vocabulary and would never leave our minds.  We don’t use this word to curse someone out or say something bad like some people might understand.

Unit 2 final draft

The global warming problem is a thing that we need to take it to an end as soon as possible. People in general had always try to find a way in which we can make global warming better. It has been getting better but not until the point we can say we have a safe pollution. Is not a law that we need to save the environment right now however we need to take care of our world because if we don’t take care of it as human that we are leaving in this planet no one else will. Like I say many people such as scientists and more had been trying to find ways of helping with the environment. There is a lot of technology out in the world that we might not know about that are some how helping to save the planet. For example  many’s company like Nissan such as Tesla are building this new vehicles that are hybrid which means that they don’t used any kind of fuel but electricity. This is a major impact because we can see how company like this are thinking about how they can save the planet. This could be a major impact however this can bring positive and negative impacts that would help us as a society.

Electrical vehicles could be better than what you might think, over time vehicle car has been getting better and better. Climate change is something we have been working on.. Over the past few year company’s has been trying to have those old generations and the new generation to try these vehicles because soon or later if we wanna have a free and clean air we gonna have to be using electric vehicles only.

Every single person in this world has a question that they have always been curious to know the answer to it. For example, my person question is electrical car really helping the environment? Throughout the time I been doing my research about it, and I’m still not convince of the answer I have got so far. According to studies it says that electrical cars are each day closer of been used by every single person who drives a vehicle Am not convince about this because there are a lot of places around the word that people may not even know how an electrical vehicle would look like. Vehicles manufactory should take that as consideration when they think about building all the cars electrical. I have always wondered how those places around they are would in which don’t have electricity 24/7 how are they supposed to charge the vehicle when they run out of batteries. As personal experience am from a native Caribbean country in which the light be going off for an entire day and there is no way of having electricity while there is no light around the place. My Opinion electrical cars are not helping with the environment because they material they used to build the batteries and how big the batterie need to be to run a car. The material is plastic that is none recycle.

This will make it easier for the audience to understand ,They May Not Use Gasoline, but They Sure Burn Through Water One way to reduce the world’s dependence on oil is to produce more cars that get them power from the electrical grid rather than the gas pump. In the United States, replacing a large percentage of the roughly 235 million cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicle with all-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (which have a supplemental gasoline engine) would make a big dent in gasoline consumption, currently about 380 million gallons a day. But such a shift would have an impact on another of the world’s precious liquids water. It takes a lot of water to produce electricity, both to mine and to process coal and other fuels and to cool power plants. Production of gasoline uses water, too, but in an analysis in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, Carey W. King and Michael E. Webber of the University of Texas found that adding more plug-in vehicles would result in a significant increase in water use because of the additional electricitythat would have to be generated. For every mile driven by a gas-powered vehicle that is displaced by one driven by an electric vehicle, the researchers report,  about three times as much water is consumed (that is, lost to evaporation) and about 17 times as much is withdrawn (used and returned to its source). The researchers say the impact on water use does not mean a shift to electric vehicles is a bad idea. But they say the impact would be severe enough, particularly in areas like the Southwest, that it should be considered in policy discussions about widespread use of electric vehicles.

Electrical vehicles could be better then what you might think, over the time vehicle car has been getting better and better. Climate change is something we been working on. However this creation of this car is a plus for climate change because they are totally electrical which mean that they don’t used fuel which is that affect our air. Over the past few year company’s has been trying to have those old generation and new generation to try this vehicles because soon or later if we wanna have a free and clean air we gonna have to be using electricity vehicles only.
