It was really interesting to be in this class. It wasn't like any other course I had taken beforethere at URBE. We participated more in this class and the activities were more interisting than the others I had done in other courses. We wrote about tv commercial about finding a job and the cover letter which I think they are very important and ilustrative.

Most of the people agree with them. However, not everybody thinks the same. For example, privates are more organized than public. Nevertheless, its organization depends on the budget they have. Of course, not all private schools have a large budget. Besides, in these schools the conduct is usually better. On the contrary, public schools have been characterized for student’s behavior that nowadays affects in <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">Venezuela</st1:country-region></st1:place>. Although, some teachers generally are forced by the administration of the school to pass their students. In addition, some people think private schools give more knowledge to the students than others. Although, even considering that they offer more knowledge, not everybody can afford this kind of schools. As has been said, private schools have some advantages and disadvantages, so this factors should be considered when deciding your children’s future.<o:p></o:p></span></p><br /> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">I think this transition expressions are extremely important to develop our writing skill.

For each case there are different<br />needs from the costumer and a different network to implement.<br />Nevertheless for knowing which technique is the most appropriate, a<br />conjunction of procedures needs to be done. First, it is necessary<br />to evaluate the necessities of the costumer which are vital to make<br />any decision because they give parameters to know how to design the<br />network. For example, the number of users gives the idea of how big<br />must be the network. Next the costumers must establish some limits<br />depending of what they want. After that, the process of designing is<br />done using what it is mentioned before. In this part the designer<br />collets all the information and makes the designing. Once the<br />designing is done for applying it, an inform has to be done<br />specifying all that it is going to be use in the network, including<br />the meters of cable if it is not wireless, the types of switches,<br />routers and their costs. After the costumer approves the implement<br />of the network, a final step has to be done. The design has to be<br />corrected and checked by an expert who will simulate it using<br />different techniques and seeing if it is going to work. All networks<br />are different and have different purposes, but following these steps<br />will guarantee its efficiency.<br /><br /><br /></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">After we have learnt how to organize a paragraph it is clearer and easier<br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">to do one.

So I think this unit was very interesting and special.

Many people believe is<br />difficult to find a job and specially a good one. The ones who<br />consider it more difficult are recently graduates, here in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Venezuela</st1:place></st1:country-region>.<br />But, this depends on how hard you look for it. For example, if someone<br />tries really hard, that person would probably find a good job<br />according to its capabilities.<br /><br />What usually happens here in this country is that most of the<br />businesses look for people with more than 5-year experience, leaving<br />recently graduates without any job. However, this doesn't happen<br />everywhere. There are some international companies that seek young<br />people to be trained according to the needs of the company. Of course,<br />this is especially good for the ones who have little experience in<br />order to acquire some of it.<br /><br />As can be noticed, people must be constant so a job could be found.<br />Even though it is difficult to find a job, someone who does not try<br />hard enough will not be able to find anything good for anybody.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";" lang="EN-US">I think this was one of the most interesting units.
