Covering Letter

Dear Mr Castle

I am writing in response to the post you advertised in the Guardian newspaper for a junior research assistant at the Centre for Policy Studies. Please find enclosed my CV and references, which details my recent work experience.

The job attracted me because I am seeking a new challenge in this field. I know that you do a lot of good work in advising the government about what policies will work and what won't. I've just done my degree in politics and I really want to carry on working in this area and get better at this kind of research.

Just to be sure I have the right profile I have:

• A Masters degree in Politics and Economics
• Experience of doing independent research
• A flat in London

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information. Thank you for considering this application and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Paula Farrow

Two different films

In this review I am going to put in contrast two films which I have encountered personally strongly different. The first film which I am going to analize is so great, with an awesome history and very carismatic and deep characters. The second film is an autentic horror for my eyes and a waste of time. This films are "The Schlinder list" and "2012".

The Schlinder list tells the history of a bussines german man, Oskar Schlinder, in the context of the second world war, all based in true historic facts. He was in the nazi party and he viewed the war situation as a bussines opportunity. However, he was horrified with the jewish holocaust, so he managed to take jewish people as employes of his fabric to safe them from the concentration camps. It's a really beauty and emotive film and Lian Neeson (Oskar Schlinder) really did a great interpretation. 

But in the other hand, we have the fiction film "2012" which is based on the possible "world's end" that was announced in the year 2012. Despite of the special effects, this film doesn't have nothing more left! It has bad interpretations, simple developing.

So, as you can have read, I would strongly encourage not to miss "The Schlinder List" and of course not to waste your time and money in "2012".

Skumdog Millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire is a drama film which was directed by Danny Boyle. The story shows the hard life of the poor people in India. The main characters are two brothers – Jamal and Sulim, and a girl Latika. The two boys don’t have a father and their mother is killed when they are about 4-5. Then an unfamiliar man finds them, begins to take care of them and a couple of other orphans, among whom is Latika. They are soon compelled to do things, they don’t want to and find a way to run away. But the story doesn’t end here, the 3 children begin to earn their living differently, only 3 of them get to know bad people and start to do illegal things. The most interesting thing about the film is that the story is presented through the TV show” Who wants to be a millionaire? “. Jamal answers all the questions thanks to his wide experience, which amazes everyone.

This incredible film shows us how different and hard some lives can be. It acquaints us with the culture if a distant country – India. We start to be more concerned about the situation in such countries.

The music and atmosphere in the film make us relive the story of the film. The actions develop fast and that is what makes it so intense.

“Slumdog Millionaire” is a movie worth considering, I strongly recommend it to everyone. With thid film you can discuss with your friends and family for a long time.

Students should think in a positive way

It is often that students should think in a positive way. They should be trained to think positively, this will help them to reduce stress, and thy will improve their productivity. In this essay i will talk about the level of stress that students have and hw to reduce it, also to improve their productivity.

To begin with, students should think in a positive way to reduce the high lvel of stress that they have. Also, this way they will promote happiness and will therefore improve students general well-being. In addition, students get stressed out because they feel they can not achive everything, because they do not have enough time. Eventhough some students will need more advice to combate the stress because these are not enough.

On the other hand, training students to thik positively will help them to increase their productivity. When students belive they can not achieve something, they will give up without even trying. Also it will help students to be more organized , and if they have the things more organized they will be happy.

To conclude, i can say that both arguments are usefull but the best is that you have to be positive because this will help you yo reduce stress, because it will improve your general well-being.

How young people feel about aging

INRODUCTION: 
The principal aim of this report is to provide a description of how young people feel about aging. Also to see the attitudes they have respect the aging.

CURRENT SITUATION:
People have two types of views and feelings about aging. Some young people are afraid of getting old, and they have to achieve many responsibilities. There are also young people who do not want to grow old because they do not want their life to pass quickly, and not be able to achieve their goals. The other point of view that the young people have is that they admire the elders since they have a long life and know much more than the young people. They also think that they are perfect people, since they can give you good advice or help you in what you need. That is why the young people respect them a lot. 

RECOMMENDATIONS:
The following recommendations are to improve the way young people feel about aging:

1- Young people have to be encouraged by the elders or adults to be able to achive their goals.
2- They also have to teach them to be responsible and take care of their things.
3- Young people have to learn to enjoy their life and so they will not feel that life passes quickly.

If you follow these recommendations this situation will improve.

¿Los gérmenes evolucionaron?

En la materia de Biología estuvimos trabajando con la evolución, entonces tuvimos que buscar una publicidad en la que hiciera referencia a la evolución, en este caso yo elegí la publicidad de Lifebuoy, que es de un jabón y según lo que dice la publicidad elimina a todos los gérmenes. 

En la publicidad de Lifebuoy podemos escuchar que dice que "Pero un jabón esta ayudando a que estén mas protegidos, el jabón contra bacterias..." Esto es erróneo ya que algunos gérmenes sobrevivirán a este jabón porque el componente químico no les afecta, sin embargo puede ser que algunos de ellos no sobrevivan. Los gérmenes que sobrevivan es porque tienen un alelo especifico que haga que sobrevivan al los químicos que tiene el jabón. Estos logran vivir y forman una población de gérmenes que porten este alelo especifico. Entonces todas las poblaciones que tengas este alelo especifico va a sobrevivir al jabón. En este ejemplo podemos ver la evolución por selección natural, ya que se produce un cambio de frecuencia de alelos de una población. Otra cosa para mencionar que un germen no evoluciona, lo que evoluciona es la población. 

The Cuban Missile Crisis and Missiles of Korea to United States

In the subject of History we have been talking about the Cuban Missiles Crisis in 1959. Nowadays, this continue happening but in others countries. In this essay I will talk about the missiles that threw Korea to the United States in 2017.

In 1959 Fidel Castro started a new pro-Communist state in what it regarded as its own ‘sphere of influence’. Castro appropriated American-owned businesses in Cuba. In 1960, Cuba received arms from the Soviet Union and the American spies knew that. Castro thought that United States wanted to invade the island, so in 1961, president Kennedy supplied arms, equipment and transport for anti-Castro exiles. They were met by 20000 Cuban troops armed with modern weapons. Castro’s troops killed them. In 1962 Cuba has the best army in Latin America, with many Soviet missiles, plus patrol boats, tanks, radar vans, missile erectors, jet bombers, jet fighters and 5000 Soviet technicians to help to maintain the weapons. The Americans watched all this like a big threat. Kennedy’s own intelligence department didn’t believe the USSR would send nuclear weapons to Cuba. In September, Kennedy though that Cuba was becoming an offensive military base. In 1962, U-2 spy plane flew over Cuba taken detailed photographs. Experts though were nuclear missiles sites. In October Kennedy decided a blockade of Cuba.

On February 12, 2017, South Korea reported that North Korea launched missiles as a challenge. Donald Trump recently assumed, I believe that North Korea declared its final stage in the development of nuclear weapons, capable of reaching the United States. Trump also lashed out at China for supporting North Korea, as the United States economy was affected. For decades, joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States generated discomfort in North Korea. North Korea has launched a ballistic missile as a challenge to the US government, according to intelligence services the missile could travel more than 2000km. The day after the launch, United Nations unanimously condemned the launch, denouncing the breach of 6 of its resolutions and warned about its readiness to adopt these significant against North Korea. Currently between both nations are publicly threatened. The United States is frightened by North Korea's nuclear weapons and believes that it should be curtailed or punished. North Korea states that its nuclear development is based purely and exclusively on the defense of its nation and not as part of an invasion project. The world is looking forward to how this tension between the two nations will evolve as it could trigger a nuclear war.

To conclude I can say that, both missiles brought many problems for both countries, one because they wanted to avenge the other country and the other because they was worried about attacking. As happened with Korea and the United States. Both have a leader. Also in both cases we are talking about of nuclear missiles and a possibility to finish in a war between both countries or more. In relation to the case of 2017 United States requests intervention to the UN (united nations), but in the case of 1959 does not ask intervention to anybody. Another difference is the distance between the countries involved. In 1959 united states feared logically by the proximity to Cuba and nowadays, the conflict is a thousands of kilometers ago. In my opinion the problem is the fear of United States to a possible attack. And I think that the new president of United Stated is very proud and he feels very powerful.
