STEP A

Choose only one topic from the followings:

1. Imagine you bought a ballot ticket and you write a letter to a friend telling him/her what you want to do with the money (hypothetical situation in the present). 2. Write a short text for a local magazine about activities you used to do when you were a child. 3. You were asked to write about an anecdote that just happened to a friend.

This is an anecdote of a friend. A friend of mine called Sixta, his brother gave him a car as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve, when he left his Sixta office, a street urchin was walking around the new car, admiring the child. Is this your wife drive? He asked. Sixta nodded. My brother gave it to me for Christmas. The boy was astounded. You mean your brother gave you and it did not cost anything? Certainly Sixta knew what the child was going to say, you would like to have a brother like that, but what the boy actually said Sixta shook from head to toe. Me like the child continued to be a brother like that. Sixta looked at child with astonishment, then impulsively he added: Would you like a ride in my car? Oh, yeah, that would love me. After a short ride, the boy turned and with sparkling eyes said Lady... Don`t you mind us to spend in front of my house? Sixta smiled. I thought I knew the boy wanted. I wanted to teach their neighbors could get home in a great car, but again, Sixta was wrong. Can you stop where those two steps? Asked the child. He ran up and heard little Sixta while returning, but it did not come quickly. He carried his disabled brother. I sat on the bottom step, then he pointed to the car. See? There is Sixta, as I told you, up there. His brother gave him Christmas and it did not cost a cent, and someday I'm going to give one just the same... then you will see for yourself all the pretty things the Christmas windows, of which I have been trying to tell. Sixta , got out and took the sick boy to the front seat. The older brother, with beaming eyes, got behind him and the three began memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Sixta understood what Jesus meant when he said "There is more blessed to give"

STEP B Make a list of words you may use according to the topic you chose in step A and write the main idea, supporting ideas and the conclusion of your text. List of words and connectors Jesus, smiled, child brother, Christmas Eve, car, ride, he gave car, Christmas, sick, memorable.

The Situation

I think this anecdote leaves a lot to say, admiration because the child has been Sixta his brother gave her a Christmas gift car, ye to have his brother with his disability told him that when he would give was big as a car brother had done to Sixta, is a rather complex situation because you see that young man will follow the example of being a good brother no matter what to give. Jesus says in the Bible must be given no matter what we get? To argue this anecdote is pleasant to know that a child may have such a thinking mind that seeing the action of the Sixta brother also thinks that in the future you can do with your brother and carried him home Sixta for his brother account that will perform the same action with him when he gets older... I wish we all had that attitude and love for what I can only call it that love for others no matter what we give?

General Arguments

Conclusions

I can conclude this anecdote with the certainty that pure heart when we are able to imagine and to dream because we can give more than we think, no matter no fence to give something back... to say that what was done by this wonderful child leaves a school that only children think with pure heart and watch examples of great people
