 Abortion

An abortion is the premature termination of a pregnancy, before the fetus can survive outside the womb. Abortion can occur spontaneously (natural abortion) or induced.

                                                           Opinion in favor

                                                    

Abortion is a method of great help for those women who have been raped and who do not have enough money to support a child because the woman has the right to decide about her maternity and her body.
It is also a way to prevent the consequences of underage pregnancies, which have effects on the physical and mental health of girls and adolescents.

Opinion against



Abortion should be prohibited because the embryo or fetus is a human life and has the right to be born.
In addition, induced abortion can have effects on the mental health of the woman, such as depression, anxiety or psychological trauma.
Most women know about birth control and should use it if they are sexually active to avoid getting pregnant if they don't want to.



Dead penalty



The death penalty, capital punishment or execution consists of causing the death of a person convicted by the State, as punishment for committing a crime established in the legislation.

Opinion in favor


The death penalty is an effective method for those people who have committed inhumane crimes such as killing children, rape and massacres, because these people will not change their way of thinking and if they leave prison or escape they will continue to do harm.
They also generate economic expense.


                                                            Opinion against


The death penalty is a method that should NOT be used because we all have the right to life, we have the right to change our way of thinking and acting.
In addition, many times these people have a mental illness without medication and were fully aware of what they were doing

She could have postponed the trip but she preferred to go have fun with her friends and now she must talk to the teacher to help her because she shouldn't miss the course. Normally I would have postponed the trip because I would not have been happy on the trip and that is why as a friend I recommended it to Sofia but she had been very excited about that trip, now she does not stop crying and regrets what she did.

 EMBEDDED QUESTIONS

Hello guys, today I bring you a very interesting topic and that many do not know but they use it a lot and they are embedded questions.



An embedded question is a type of question which is included within another question or sentence. It is different from other types of questions, as there must not be any auxiliary verb between the question word and the subject.

Sentences that include embedded question usually begins with common introductory phrases like:

  • ·       Could you tell me
  • ·       I’d like to know
  • ·       I’m not sure
  • ·       Do you know
  • ·       I wonder
  • ·       Would you mind
  • ·       Let’s ask


Examples:

1. Direct Question: What work did he do best?

Embedded Question: I’d like to know what work he did best.

2. Direct Question: What is her name?

Embedded Question: I wonder what her name is.

I leave a link for you to practice
