Problems with video games addiction
José Alfredo Aráuz Pineda
Video games are something that almost all teenagers like to play. Video games were invented in the 80’s. The first company of video games was Nintendo. This brand has been famous for many years. There are other brands that are also famous like Sony and Microsoft. The most famous video games are XBOX 360, Play Station 2, Play Station 3, Wii, and Game Cube. Do you have one of these video games? Are you a fan? If your answer is “yes”, you should be worried about it because once that you become an addict of video games you have some problems, like in your school or with your behavior. There are several solutions to this problem that you can put on practice: helping and staying with your parents, reading something, and being with your siblings and friends.
The first thing that you can put on practice is helping your parents in many things. If your father has a company, you can help him, so you are not wasting your time in things that are not necessary for your future. I tell you that because I used to be a person who wasted too much time playing video games, but one day I thought that it was better if I helped my father in his farm. Another thing that people can do is to be with their families. Maybe, you can talk with your father or your mother about your bad and good moments, so in that way you will do something that you will enjoy, and you won’t have to be playing video games if you want good moments. The problem is that the majority of teenagers think that working and staying with their parents is boring, so they don’t want to do it. They think that it is not necessary to help their parents because they think that their parents can do everything in every place.
Another thing that people can do is to read a book or dedicate their time to do things on which they can learn. They can read a book because books have some important information on which people can learn fast. Also, they can read the newspaper, or they may read a magazine. If people do these things they will not waste their time. They will be doing something that is very important especially for teenagers which is that they should dedicate part of their time in different readings. I’m learning English at AMLI, and one of my different assignments is to read a different book in almost every session. I have an XBOX 360, and I used to play video games when I was in high school. Today, I use the majority of my time in reading. I can say that it is something that is not boring. Teenagers can read in their free time instead of wasting their time playing video games. The problem is that the majority of the people think that books don’t have anything funny, and they also think that reading a book is wasting their time because they are not doing anything.
Another thing that I can suggest, is to be part of your time with your siblings or friends. People should play with their friends or siblings in many things. Maybe, they can go to the park with their friends, or they can go to parties with them. In that way, they will share moments with their friends, and they will be satisfied because they will notice that their friends are important things in their life. Also, people can share moments with their siblings. Maybe you can talk with them, or you may play different games with them. For example, I have a brother, and he is only six years old. When I come back home on weekends, I always play with him. In addition, I usually go to mass with my siblings because in that way I can share my moments at home with
them. You should be part of your time with your friends and siblings, and believe me that you are going to enjoy it. The problem is that the majority of the people especially teenagers don’t enjoy being part of their time with their siblings and friends because once that they become addicts, they don’t want to be with their friends and siblings because they think that they have everything with video games.
In conclusion, teenagers should pay special attention to this problem. When a teenager or the people become an addict of video games, they have some troubles in their life. the majority of the time, they cannot think in another thing because they are always thinking in video games, and also they always think in buy more and more video games in order to have funny moments. In my opinion, parents should give some advices to their children. Sometimes parents like when their children are happy. Video games are not the correct way to be happy, so parents shouldn’t give a video game for their children like a gift. You have many ways to have funny and special moments. For video games’ addict, I can tell them that video games are not all in this world, and they had better not continue playing video games.

Similarities and Differences between Real Madrid F.C. and Manchester United
José Alfredo Aráuz Pineda
There are two different football clubs that are famous around the world. They have been famous for many years. People who are fans of these two different teams know that they are rivals. I’m a strong fan of one of these two teams, and I know it’s important its history. Are you a strong fan of one of these two teams? Do you know what the most important things that these teams have are? If you don’t know what they are, you should begin to investigate about it. History and the most important things that a big football team has is something that every fan in this world should know. Real Madrid and Manchester United have some differences and similarities: history, championships, and players.
The first one is the history. As you can see, Real Madrid is a team from Spain, but Manchester United is a team from England. The history between these teams is different. The history of Real Madrid is more interesting than the history of Manchester United. Real Madrid has 106 years since it began in 1902. This team has had important players who are important people as members of FIFA and UEFA. These organizations are the most important in the world because they organize the different championships and games of different teams around the world. Real Madrid was the first football team in Spain. This team has had many stadiums in Spain in many places. They are always looking for the best thing because it is the richest team around the whole world. Manchester United also has a big and interesting history like Real Madrid. Manchester is one of the most important teams around the world. This team has had important players. It was the third team in England. This team has built many stadiums in England because once they had a big problem with a stadium. There was taking place an important game but suddenly the stadium fell down. Many people died, and that is why they have been looking for a place where this tragedy is not going to happen again. Manchester is one of the richest team around the world, but it is not the richest because this place is taken by Real Madrid FC.
Second, they have similarities and differences in the different championships. In Europe, there is a championship which is called UEFA champions league. This is the most important championship in Europe. Real Madrid has won this championship nine times. It is the team that has won more UEFA champions league. Manchester has won this championship too, but they have won it only twice. They were in 1998 and 2008. In fact, it is the champion this year. These teams are from different places, so they have different championships. Real Madrid is the team that has won more championships in Spain. However, Manchester has won many championships in England, but it is not the team that has won more. There is a world club championship which takes place in China. Both Real Madrid and Manchester have won this championship. Real Madrid has won it 5 times and Manchester only once, but they are going to participate in this championship next November.
The third one is the different players. Real and Manchester have important players. Manchester prefers to hire players who are from Africa and countries from Europe like Sweden, Scotland, Croatia, Wales, of course England and so on. However, Real Madrid prefers to hire players who are from America (especially from Brazil and Argentina). Also, countries from Europe like France, Netherlands, Germany, England, and of course Spain. Real Madrid always has had the most famous players around the world. It is the richest team around the world, so they can hire the player that they want. Nowadays, Manchester has the most famous player around the world who is Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid wants to hire this player, but Manchester doesn’t want to sell him. Manchester’s executives think that with Cristiano they will win many championships.
In conclusion, Real and Manchester are famous teams around the whole world. Of course, they have some similarities and differences which every fan should know. In my opinion if you are a big fan, you should begin to investigate what the different history and things they have. I’m a strong fan of Real Madrid and my dream is that one day, I will travel to Spain in order to see a soccer match between Real Madrid and another important soccer team. I can imagine this is the dream all the fans of the world. I can say that everything is possible and I have for sure that one day I will achieve this goal. If it is possible, I would like to see a soccer match between Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Similarities and differences between Soccer and American Football
There are two kinds of sports that I love to play. They are very famous around the world, but they are famous in different countries. They are soccer and American football. Soccer is an aggressive game, and American Football is too. Also, if players want to win, they have to play with strength. Are you a strong fan of one of these sports? Do you know what the biggest differences and similarities between them are? If you don’t know what they are, you should begin to investigate about them because it is a foremost thing that the biggest fans should know. Soccer and American Football have differences, but also have some similarities.
First of all, there are some similarities between these kinds of sports. One of them is that players in both sports have to be in excellent physical condition. They also have to warm up before a game. In American football if you want to make a touch down, the plays have to be so fast, so players have to be in excellent shape. On the other hand, in a soccer game if you want to make a goal, you also have to run fast. There are many people playing, so you have to make fast plays like in American Football. Also, if you want to make an individual goal, you have to be a player that not only has to run fast. You also have to have intelligence to make a great goal. As you know, Soccer and American Football are so famous around the world. Soccer is famous in Europe and American Football is famous in The United States, but why are they famous in those places? As you can see, Soccer is famous in Europe because it is the continent where the most famous championships around the world such as the UEFA CUP, THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, BARCKLAYS LEAGUE PREMIERE, THE BUNDES LIGUE, THE SERIE A, THE LEAGUE OF THE STARS, and THE FRANCE LEAGUE take place. In contrast, the most famous American Football Championship around the world is the NFL which takes place in The United States. The last similarity between these two sports is that players earn a lot of money. A Soccer player can earn as much as an American Football player because in the stadiums where these games take place assist many people and that is why the players earn a lot.
Also, there are some differences between these two sports. The first one and the biggest difference are the kinds of rules that they have. In Soccer you can’t touch the ball with your hand. However, in American Football you have to play with the ball in your hand because it is the way that you are going to play with your team to make a touch down. In a Soccer game, when you make a goal, it is only a point. When you make a touch down in an American Football game, it is seven points. Also, you have another opportunity to increase your team score. Another big difference between them is the kind of uniforms that they wear in their games. American Football players have to wear big T-Shirts because they have to use some protection inside of them .This game is aggressive, so they have to protect their body. On the other hand, in a Soccer game you only have to wear a little T-Shirt with a short. Soccer players wear this kind of uniform because it is so comfortable for them .They can run so fast, and it is one of the most important things that they have to do if they want to win the game. The last difference is that they have different sponsors. In American Football, there are a few sponsors. The most famous are NIKE, ADIDAS and UMBRO. Also, the teams almost always have only one sponsor. On the other hand, Soccer teams have many sponsors which are the most famous around the world. They are B-WIN, SIEMENS, PIRELLI, NIKE, ADIDAS, UMBRO, CARLSBERGER, PUMA and so on. Of course the Soccer teams not only have one sponsor. I can give you an example that is Real Madrid. This is the most famous Soccer team around the world, and this team has too many sponsors which are B-WIN, NIKE, ADIDAS, SIEMENS, COCA COLA, UMBRO, and HEINEKEN. This is only an example, so I think that you can imagine the amount of Soccer sponsors that are around the whole world.
In conclusion, Soccer and American Football are two different sports that are famous around the world. The have some differences and some similarities. If you are a strong fan of one of these sports, you should know what their own histories are and how your favorite team has been one of the most famous around the world for many years. In my opinion, the people who pay more attention at these kinds of sports are teenagers because one day they want to become one player who is going to be famous and important around the world. I prefer to play Soccer because it is more interesting. Players have to be very intelligent to make a goal that is not too easy. Also, I live in Nicaragua, and the sport that teenagers play the most is soccer. If we want to play American Football, we need to have all the things that are necessaries which are the protection, the field and so on. Since we don’t have these things, we don’t play American Football. If you want to play a wonderful game, Soccer is your best choice believe me.
