Travel on Disney World

Disney World, or officialy known as Walt Disney World Resort, ubicated in approximately 34 km southwest of Orlando, Florida, United States. Disney World (DW) is a famous recreational complex recognized by its theme parks and multiple hotels. DW has four theme parks (in which are better known Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot), two water parks (Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach), and 23 themed resort hotels (Disney´s Grand Floridian, Disney´s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney´s Beach Club). In the mid-year vacations of 2002, I´m goed to Disney World with my family. Are one of things that I more remember of my childhood.

The week of 24th to 30th June I and my family are going to Orlando, Florida, USA, to pass the mid-year vacations, in Disney World. We´re lodged in Quality Inn, all days come an bus that transport us to parks, The first two days We are rested for the large air trip, and visited Orlando and her malls, restaurants, and atractions. Later the third day we goes to DW to Magic Kingdom, and participate in many atractions like splash mountain, big thunder mountain, Buzz Lightyear´s adventure, Peter Pan´s flight, and others. After we goed to Animal Kingdom and visited the Tree of Life, Expedition Everest, Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends, and others. And last goed to MGM, officialy known as Disney's Hollywood Studios.

I´m remember that three experiences I like more, are the food, the atractions, look the Fifa World Cup final. Normally the breakfast we realized in hotel, the lunch in the park, and the dinner again in hotel. I like so much the food in the hotel because is buffet, and in the park depending of theme of place. The atractions was amazings, I would say that are the best that I´m looking, my height was ideal for entry to most games. And finally we had the good fortune of live the Fifa World Cup 2002 play offs, and the incredible final between Brazil and Germany, win the South America team 2-0, both goals were for Ronaldo "El Fenómeno", this fact made in my an pleasure for the Futbol and for Brazil.

Yes to the Mobile Phone, but with responsibility

The mobile phone, more known like cell phone, is an electronic device that has important use for humans. Nowadays the uses of cell phone is accessible to the youth, so the schools have to choose whether banning or allowing the use of mobile phones in the class. There are three reason that I believe justify the use of cell phones in school by students: in case of an emergency, as a school tool, and for entertainment. In an academic year, many situations can happen where the student needs calling like a problem at school with a change of schedule, etc. The emergencies exist, then they need cell phones. But student should only use them in case of an emergency. Nowadays, cell phones have a many applications like internet connection, dictionary, calculator, camera, etc. These applications can be useful in a class, so now the cell can be a school tool. Teachers can seize the mobile phone if students do not use it correctly. The fact that the student goes to school to study does not mean that he can not have fun. Students can have fun in school, that is the reason why there are recess times, and these are moments where the phones can be used. In conclusion, the student can use the mobile phone in school because of an emergency, as a school tool, and for fun, but only with the responsibility that this does not affect the school performance.

The restaurants of fast food are big business these times. Two restaurants that are actually more transcendental are McDonald´s and Burger King, colloquially known as Mac and Burger, both have similarities like food and service, but also have differences like quality and popularity. In food, both haves dedicated to fast food, but specialty in hamburgers; the hamburger icon or original of Mac is the "Big Mac" and in case of Burger is the "Whooper", both are delicious. The service of McDonald's and Burger King is equal; the customer goes to the box, orders, buys, and in less than 5 minutes later the clerks give him the food. Both services are good, but Mac gives more experienced service. Referring to the issue of quality, Mac has more quality than Burger because they think more in the customer. Mac´s facilities are bigger and cleanner, but the food of Burger is more tasty.

MLS vs Premier League

The Major League of Soccer (MLS) and the Premier League (PL) are the futbol soccer tournaments of USA and England respectively. My topic is if these tournaments represent the culture of their respective countries? First I will describe both tournaments; The  MLS was founded on December 16th, 1993, in compliance with Alan Rothenberg of USSF (United State Soccer Federation) to make a league of first division, a memorial change for FIFA World Cup 1994. In the case of the PL, it was founded in May 27th 1992 with the name of Football League. This tournament had problems where they could not pay to clubs and resulted in an economic crisis, then the FA (The Football Association) created) the Premier League.
Second I will compare both leagues. The MLS has 18 teams which are divided in 2 confederations, east and west. The season begins in March and ends in November; each team plays 34 games per season, and the 10 best team qualify to the post-season to decide the champion. The Premier has 20 teams, and each club plays twice with the rest, once in its stadium and once at their opponents playing a total of 38 games. The season begins in August and ends in May of the next year; the best qualified is the champion. As trascendental players of both tournaments we have for the MLS David Beckham, Thierry Henry, and Marco Pappa, and for the PL Wayne Rooney, Didier Drogba, and Cesc Fabregas.

Regarding cultures, both leagues are ordered like the British and American cultures are. The schedules are strict, the public in stadiums do not get altered and destroy things. But one diference is that British are more extricts with rules; take for example the case of Wayne Rooney who used vulgar language in a game, and the Premier League gave him a punishment of 3 games where he could not play. The MLS isn´t extrict in this. Another diference is that for American sport the MLS is not that important, on the other hand the Premier League is a league with more public in England. In conclusion the Premier League represents more the British culture than the MLS represents the American culture because Soccer is more important in England than in the United States.
