Protecting Our Children from the Dangers of Smoking

The President expressed his appreciation for Senator Ted Kennedy above all today. Lamenting that the senator could not be there for the signing of Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, he called it “change that’s been decades in the making.” By all accounts, it is the strongest measure protecting children [...]

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! by Manuel Chorro

Hi Helen, I know I have got many compositions lined up but I feel like doing this one to tell you and the rest of the class about my last competition, “Grupo Levante -09″ ,  which took place in Ciudad Real on Wednesday and Thursday  last week (I hope you don’t mind).  Six universities participated [...]

“Old-fashioned Things” by Vicente Hidalgo

When I think about my childhood or about my adolescence, I remember that there were many different things and many habits that have vanished from my life. It doesn’t mean that it was better or worse than now. Nostalgia for the old times grows in my heart and I can’t forget the time when I went [...]

Edinburgh by Rosario Ferré

SCOTLAND: EDINBURGH

          Scotland is basically known for three things:
