       Hello,my name is Guilherme Alves,I'am fifteen years old,I study at marista,well,I'am studying there since I was ten years old,and I can't handle anymore,I would like to study at another school,I think it would be great meeting new people and making new friends.My favorite subject at school is english,because I use take good grades and the teacher like me.

       I am a very funny person,for some reason my friends laugh a lot when they're talking to me.I have a rock band,I like to play drums and guitar,but I play bass very well,we used to play at a lot of parties,but recently our singer had moved to planaltina,and we stop playing.

       When I was a child,I started to take bass classes,I was taking lessons until last year,But I had to stop because I wasn't good at school.Well,I like to play volley too,That's the only sport I like to play.I like capoeira too,but capoeira is not an sport is a kind of combat mixed with dance.

       Well,that's my life,and I wouldn't like it to be diferent.

       Dear magazine editor,my name is Guilherme,and I am 15 years old.I have read your article about the diferent people around the world,and I was very impressed about how their lives are so difficult.Sometimes I think my life is not fair and it's very difficult,but now i really see how my life is  good,and how many people are having difficulty to feed their  families.Like people in Africa,they don't have many things or a lot of money,but in general,the families have a lot of kids to take care,and they are very proud of their possessions.

       Tokio is a great place to live,but the only problem,is that Tokio very small,and don't have much space for people save their consumer goods.The fact that really impressed me,is that Japan is a very developed country,but people have a lot of problems too.In india people don't have a good life,they don't have advanced technology,and people work a lot of hours a week for  very little money,and it's like a slave labor,because the multinacional companies esploit a lot indians,.But what really scared me was the fact that a lot of people in China are very poor,the families are so big,and they earn their living by raising fish in large ponds in front of their houses.

       I got very impressed about how are people life in diferent countries,because we don't see how are dificult the live of some families in China,in Africa,in India and in Japan.People like to say that their lives are dificult,but they don't know what difficulty means.All these people should take a break to think about how their lives are good,and how their problems are nothing compared of what these families in  poor countries suffer.

       Nowadays people are worried about having money,and are not giving attention to themselves,and not thinking about being better as a humans.Lower classes are most affected by this materialism,because they want to have a better life,and grow on the society.They are so interested on having a better life,that they are forgetting that they need to be better as humans too.

        People thinks hat they would be much happier if they had more money and more stuff,but to have more money,we need to work hard,and sometimes,people become very stressed because they work a lot,and don't have time to take a rest or time to their family and friends,and in the end,their money will not make them happier,because they won't have time to spend their money with the people they like  most.

        Our society sells the illusion that having a lot of money and a lot of stuff brings happiness;some times it really brings, but people need to separate their time between family and work. Money only brings happiness if you know how to spend it.
