More people now have children later in life. What are some of the reasons for this phenomenon?

There are some reasons to postpone a baby arrival. First of all, when someone decide to raise a kid,
it is necessary to take into account that his or her needs have to be satisfied. In fact, some couples
do not decide to increase the family earlier in order to bring newborns a better life. In fact, older
couples perceive higher incomes which enable them to pay for a better educational or health
service. Secondly, some people do not decide to have babies until they are mature enough. To
conclude, the main two reasons to postpone the arrival of a newborn is bringing a better life and
being mature.
In your country, is it important to have a meal together with your family. What are some of the
eating customs?

In Peru, one of the most widespread and important family traditions is eating together in a particular
day of the week. Since ancient times, peruvian families schedule a specific day to have a meal
together. This celebration is accompanied by traditional coast and Andean music. Obviously,
different typical dishes of every peruvian region are served. When the meal is over, it is mandatory
to have a small football match between different family members to kill the time before leaving.
Finally, everyone has to prepare a brief but emotional note and give to one member of the family.

Describe something healthy that you enjoy doing. What is it? Why do you enjoy it?

I am the type of person that loves being healthy. For me, the best way to obtain that is doing
kickboxing. Kickboxing is a combat sport and martial art that uses the fists and legs to hit. I love this
sport because I was able to improve my physical condition and my fighting skills. Additionally, it
makes me feel stronger and I have noticed a change in my cardiovascular condition. When I decide
to enter in a kickboxing gym, I did not imagine my life would change drastically.

Do you think video games and action films promote violence that could be dangerous to teenagers?
Why or why not?

In my humble opinion, audiovisual material with violent content could be dangerous to teenagers.
Firstly, youngsters tend to replicate what they see and heard on media. For example, advertising,
which only lasts seconds, create a desire on kids to wear or play with something. This effect is
magnified with videogames and actions films that have a long duration. Secondly, some games and
shows exhibit explicit violence that could make children develop a mental illness because of a
possible trauma that is acquired by seeing this kind of material. As it is shown in this paragraph,
video games and actions films might have a detrimental effect on teenagers.

Some people give praise to famous scientist and mathematicians. Others think more highly of literary
authors and artist. Which group of professionals do you regard more highly and why?

In my humble opinion, I think that both groups need to be recognized equally. On one hand,
scientists have a strong impact in the development of the humanity. In fact, if science had not
existed, all these equations and theories would not have taken part in the creations of items and
objects that are used daily. On the other hand, art is so much important as it is what make us
humans. For example, authors express their emotions and feelings in a way that makes us empathize
with them. In their work we can recognize our souls. To conclude, I think both groups deserve praise.

Men and women can never share the same responsibilities at home. Do you agree or disagree? Use
specific reasons and details to support your answer.

I do not agree with that statement. In my humble opinion, both genders must share the same
responsibilities at home. Firstly, men and women are equal so there is no reason to allocate some
responsibilities only for women or men because of their gender. Personally, I consider that
responsibilities must be decided by consensus. Secondly, as the house chores are very demanding it
is necessary to have most people involve in that activity regardless of their sex. To conclude, men
and women should take care of the home equally.

1. In my humble opinion, I do not agree that advantages outweigh disadvantages of moving

business to the countryside. Although, this situation will increase the prosperity of the area,
the relocation of business has some problems. First, a proliferation of traffic, noise and
pollution could occur as more people are going to transport to rural areas. Secondly, it is
possible that business could disturb the quite life of the habitants as business workers have
a fast paced lifestyle than rural habitants. To conclude, for the reasons exposed above, I
considerer that there are more disadvantages relocation of business in rural areas.
2. In my humble opinion, the use of animals is permissible to satisfy basic needs. First, it is a
requirement to eat balance food to survive. Although, vegetables are a great source of
nutrients there is a lack of some vitamins that are only obtained in animals such as cows and
fishes. Secondly, the test of medicine and vaccine to faces illnesses is dangerous. In that
context, to prevent humans to be harmed is a requirement to exploit animals. To conclude,
for the reasons exposed above, humans must use animals for survival needs.
