CONTRAST&COMPARATIVE ESSAY "Oh brave new world, where mothers do not ask their children how their day was, Facebook and Twitter aswered for them"– Timothy Correa. A social networking site is an online service that provides social relations among people who share interests, activities, etc. and that allows you to communicate with each other by making the thoughts public by via e-mail, instant messaging, voice or videoconferencing to selected members. Social networks sites have attracted millions of users, and the most popular are Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook and Twitter are social networking sites. Facebook is generally used by people who likes to be connected with old friends or by people who likes to find new ones. On the other hand Twitter is not considered a meeting of friends because it only connects people to the latest information about what people find interesting. Facebook can be used for chatting, for image sharing or video sharing or any other activities. Twitter is to navigate and add updates about you and some people prefer to use Twitter only for communication. Both social networking are rising day by day because they have become very popular and they allow you to run many features like email, instant messaging and also, they are ways to socialize with fast responses. Besides they are ways of advertising. However, some people think that Facebook is less immediate than Twitter unless the person is connected. Not all people find Twitter easy to use because the structure of Twitter can be kind of difficult. Unlike Facebook structure that can be easy to understand. Facebook is more entertaining than Twitter because Facebook has a lot of games, tests, applications, etc. For that reason, Facebook is more popular than Twitter. Besides Facebook has developed better privacy system than twitter because Facebook has new options that the users can choose the information that they want to show. Nevertheless, people around the world only want to be more sociable no matter which social networking sites use.

Social networking sites have grown throughout the time. Facebook and Twitter are the most used around the world. For me, Facebook and Twitter are very similar because both are highly reputable social networking sites. I think there are not one better than the other because I think it depends of the opinion the user which one he likes to use. For instance, I prefer Facebook because for me it is easier to use.

NARRATIVE ESSAY “Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Do not bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself” -William Faulkner. When I was a little girl around five to eleven, I used to be very shy. I was always insecure, and I was afraid of everything. Also, I used to be unsociable, and sometimes I preferred to be alone. I was extremely serious but despite that, I had valuable friends. Likewise, I used to become nervous when I had to pass in front of whatever group of people to speak or to show something. Until I was in secondary school, something changed my life because I met the art of dance, and it made me more confident and secure about myself.

Learning something new can be a satisfactory experience. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was be for the first time in a dance class. I was shy and I was afraid about being in front of the people. I can remember the first day I got into a dance academy near my house because she said that I needed to do something but I did not want. Suddenly, I started to cry but my mother did not care for it. When I arrived to the Academy, I felt amazing. I saw a lot of people dancing and I wanted stay in that place. Then, the teacher called me and she introduced me with all the students. At first, I continued being shy, but after around one month, I became confident with myself, sociable, easygoing and secure. This change helped me to be stronger physically and emotionally and besides, it raised my self-esteem. I improved in the school and I got more new friends. Also, I began to participate more in social activities, and nerves disappeared. However I feel so grateful with this change in my life because it supported me to be a better person.

Over the years, dance has changed my life in the best way since I was around 11 years. So far, I continue dancing because I feel good doing that. I think that it is important to practice for having a healthy life and also, for improving your self-esteem. I love dance because it changed me. I learned something different that I could never imagine and it is the best thing that could occur me.
