CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH


          It is clear that many of the accidents on the roads are caused by the use of cell phones. So, adequate and  efficient regulation laws are necessary. In places where regulating cell phones use have been achieved, traffic accidents have fallen notoriously. However, there are still countries where regulations are needed, so people should ask authorities for them to be improved. Apart from that,  people must regulate their behaviour when they are driving and bear in mind that they may put their own life in danger.

Inmigration in Argentina


          During the past few years inmigrants from nearby countries have come to Argentina. People from Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Paraguay and other countries from South America have arrived Argentina with the hope to find a job, to study or to find a settlement. All of these people share similar socio- economic characteristics, as a result there is not problem in adjustment in Argentinian society, except for some cases of racial discrimination. Most of the inmigrants have found location in Buenos Aires, the capital city thinking about more opportunities to work or to study at Buenos Aires University. As regards employment possibilities in Argentina, it is not so easy to find a profitable job, even though, inmigrants think that here there may be more chances that in their own country.

Paragraph one

Educational alternatives in Argentina

          In my country there are several oportunities for people who procure higher educational degrees. For those who are interested in the educational sector there are many teaching training colleges, placed at states or private school. For those who look for science and technology fulfilment, there are many courses at universities or institutes related to these areas. For those who would like to specialize in medicine fields, there are also many courses at the Buenos Aires University. Finally, those people who are fond of art and design have a lot of opportunities to learn or to improve their talents. To sum up, regarding higher education, universities and institutes offer many chances for people who are looking for high degrees in further education.


Paragraph two

Educational alternatives in Argentina

          In my country, Argentina, many are the graduated students who decide to continue a career and become a professional. Despite of the fact that many courses and places are offered, students find it difficult to determine what and where to study. For those who are interested in the educational sector there are many teaching training colleges, placed at state or private schools. For those who look for science and technology fulfilment, there are many courses at universities or institutes related to these areas. For those who would like to specialize in medicine fields, there are also many courses at the Buenos Aires University. Finally, those people who are fond of art and design have a lot of opportunities to learn or to improve their talents. On the whole, Argentinian educational institutions provide a large number of courses and degrees, so it is up to the student´s choice dcide what and where to study.


Metacognitive analysis


* As regards overol meaning both topic sentences refer to variety of educational opportunities that are given in Argentina.

*I think the topic sentence from first paragraph is more specific and summarize the idea of the educational alternatives. The key words and ideas of the second paragraph are wrote in two sentences. From my perspective,  the paragraph is too short to write the introduction in two sentences, it may be repetitive. As regards conclusion sentences both are very similar.

*I think both topic sentences reflect the content of the paragraph, though the first one is more specific and appropriate because along the paragraph the idea of students doubts about types of courses and places are not specified.

*I have  found some synonyms such as, career-courses-degrees

*In both topic sentences and conclusion sentences ideas are repeated in order to restate the idea of the paragraph
