Bullying (also known as bullying, school bullying or bullying by the English term) is any form of psychological abuse, verbal or physical occurred among school children repeatedly over a given time. Statistically, the dominant type of violence is the emotional and occurs mostly in the classroom and the school yard. The protagonists of cases of bullying tend to be children in the process of entry into adolescence (12-13 years), being slightly higher percentage of girls in the profile of victims.

Opinion: I think it is bad to disturb others by their appearance making them feel bad because maybe then those who can bother them and they will feel what they felt applied to bullying

ELISA PEREZ

“The Bullying”
The meaning of Bullying is harassment. Normally the consequences are problems in the family of any factor.
A situation of bullying is serious and is compounded because many children and adolescents who suffer do not tell the problems in the school.
Many times teachers underestimate a bullying situation, if they do take action when the child has serious emotional damage.
Tackling bullying is everyone's responsibility. From home, school and society in general, each from his trench can help prevent this phenomenon.

The bullyng
The bullyng is when somebody is abused by the children only I the school.
This abuse could be like some abuses like those:
Punches: like somebody pulls the hair , kicks and others more.
If somebody happen in those situation could be get help with teachers , principals and the family.
Also could be when the bad boys discriminate to the others.
And saying foolishness and bad words.
I think that in Mexico in all the schools the boys and the girls suffer of bullyng.
In sometimes if in the school can´t solucionate a big problem of bullyng they have to suspend.

IZUMY MARQUEZ

Bullying is a characteristic shape and extreme school violence.

Have been reported up to 8 forms of bullying:

Social Block Groups bullying actions that seek to block the victim socially.

Harassment Bullying behaviors consisting of acts of harassment and bullying that manifest disregard, disrespect and disregard for the dignity of the child.

Handling bullying behaviors that seek to distort the child's social image and "poison" to others against him.

Constraints bullying behaviors that the victim intended to take actions against their will.
Through these harassing behaviors the child who intend to exercise dominion and a total submission of his will.

Bullying Bullying behaviors that seek to induce fear in the child. Their indicators are acts of intimidation, threats, physical harassment, intimidation, harassment at the exit of the school.

Groups threat to the integrity of bullying behaviors seeking deterred by threats to the physical integrity of the child or his family or through extortion.

CESAR LUNA

The Bullying
The bullying is a problem that it is in all the world, specialty in the school because in this place the boys or girl more timid are the victims.

NAOMI LOPEZ HERNANDEZ

Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push factor in migration. Bullying can exist between social groups, social classes, and even between countries (see jingoism). In fact, on an international scale, perceived or real imbalances of power between nations, in both economic systems and in treaty systems, are often cited as some of the primary causes of both World War I and World War II.
Mi opinion is that i think that the bullying is very bad because some kids are involucrated in those cases the kids can’t tolerate the insults of all the kids that are in the class or it could be that all the school are involucrated and the kids want to kill they because they don’t want to support the inslts of the kids.

NAOMI LOPEZ ESCARCEGA

Bullying is present almost everywhere, is not exclusive to any sector or society or about sex, although the profile of the offender himself is seen predominantly in males. There are no differences with regard to the victims.
This practice becomes common in middle and high levels of public and private sectors in Mexico, elsewhere in the world is adapting to technology resulting in cyber bullying, harassment through specifically on internet web pages, blogs or emails.
Sex: It is when there is a siege, induction or sexual abuse.
Social exclusion: When ignored, isolated and excludes the other.
Verbal insults and slurs in public to expose the weak.
Psychological: In this case there is a persecution, intimidation, tyranny, exhortation, manipulation and threats to the other.
Physical: There’s hitting, shoving or beating the beleaguered organization.
Parents if the see changes in behavior of children. You and you approach your child talk with him.
Interact more with your child’s friends and see what activities do. Once we have created a climate of trust and communication with your child, ask the reason for their behavior.
Opinion
I think that the bullying is bad because hurt the other people, and all are the same girls and boys, old and young. We have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, etc.
The people that think that are more than the others is incorrect, and that people in the future are going to have problems in her or his live.
The parents should talk with their soon to know what happened with their lives.
And the people that are victim should speak, to receive help and resolve the problem.
They should finish with the bullying because if they don’t do nothing they are going to continue doing the same things and get more power, and is going to became to a problem that never get solution.
Naomi López Escárcega 1° A

EVELYN IDIAQUEZ

Bullying is a serious problem of physical abuse, psychological and sexual, this phenomenon mainly occurs in the secondary school level, because calculations have been made and is where most takes place this bullying phenomenon called bullying.
It is very sad to know that bullying becoming more advanced, but we hopefully and someday we and luck and that young people understand that this is not a game if not a little care, but apparently they take it as a simple game and fun, just take this with young people with character can also be shy or higher grade that take advantage over new entrants or lesser degrees.
To give lectures or speak on this subject in secondary level schools should be very careful because it is a sensitive issue, however, is correct and helpful, and learning for young people who give this kind of talks to orient and help stop bullying can finally progress and a little more respect, and friendship among all youth.
So we must not let us keep in mind that young people need to eradicate this problem and to be careful and if you suffer from this call for help or consult a trusted adult or who else you have.

LUCERO GABRIEL

School bullying is a type of bullying that occurs in connection with education, either inside or outside of school. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or emotional and is usually repeated over a period of time.
In schools, bullying occurs in all areas. It can occur in nearly any part in or around the school building, though it more often occurs in PE, recess, hallways, bathrooms, on school buses and waiting for buses, classes that require group work and/or after school activities. Bullying in school sometimes consists of a group of students taking advantage of or isolating one student in particular and gaining the loyalty of bystanders who want to avoid becoming the next victim. These bullies taunt and tease their target before physically bullying the target. Targets of bullying in school are often pupils who are considered strange or different by their peers to begin with, making the situation harder for them to deal with.
One student or a group can bully another student or a group of students. Bystanders may participate or watch, sometimes out of fear of becoming the next victim. However, there is some research suggesting that a significant proportion of "normal" school children may not evaluate school-based violence (student-on-student victimization) as negatively or as being unacceptable as much as adults generally do, and may even derive enjoyment from it, and they may thus not see a reason to prevent it if it brings them joy on some level.
Bullying can also be perpetrated by teachers and the school system itself: There is an inherent power differential in the system that can easily predispose to subtle or covert abuse (relational aggression or passive aggression), humiliation, or exclusion — even while maintaining overt commitments to anti-bullying policies.

Types
Physical bullying
Physical bullying is any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim. This is one of the most easily identifiable forms of bullying.
Emotional bullying
Emotional bullying is any form of bullying that causes damage to a victim’s psyche and/or emotional well-being.

Verbal bullying
Verbal bullying is any slanderous statements or accusations that cause the victim undue emotional distress.
Cyber-bullying
Cyber-bullying is any bullying done through the use of technology. This form of bullying can easily go undetected because of lack of parental/authoritative supervision. Because bullies can pose as someone else, it is the most anonymous form of bullying
Sexual bullying
Sexual bullying is "any bullying behaviour, whether physical or non-physical, that is based on a person’s sexuality or gender. It is when sexuality or gender is used as a weapon by boys or girls towards other boys or girls — although it is more commonly directed at girls. It can be carried out to a person’s face, behind their back or through the use of technology."

COMMENT
I think the bullying is very bad and horrible and we must do something to stop as giving talks to both students and parents or something like this because is very important so that students have better academic development and a better childhood with good friends, a good rating and a better future.

ESTIBALIZ FUNES

Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior, which may manifest as abusive treatment, the use of force or coercion to affect others, particularly when habitual and involving an imbalance of power. It may involve verbal harassment, physical assault or coercion and may be directed persistently towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The "imbalance of power" may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target."
Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal, and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The UK currently has no legal definition of bullying, while some U.S. states have laws against it.
Bullying ranges from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex bullying in which the bully may have one or more 'lieutenants' who may seem to be willing to assist the primary bully in his bullying activities. Bullying in school and the workplace is also referred to as peer abuse. Robert W. Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context of rankism.
Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods.

I think that bullying is bad because it makes you feel bad for the victim, even verbal bullying affects self-esteem of the victim. It is also bad because it makes me the aggressor makes the other children are against the victim, children with social outcasts bullying.
For me, bullying should not be done because all children are equal and should not be excluded just for being different; I have seen that those who suffer most bulling be a children’s or another religion or another type of skin color what I've noticed those doing the bullying not only are men the women also made, the more in secondary schools likely is that the bullying takes place.

GIL CONTRERAS

The bullying are very dangerous because the boys popular discriminate to a other boys by your face, your likes, the way they think, their dress, your personality, because they say they are stupid and say they are gays and other qualities.
And the girls popular discriminate to a other girls by your hair, their dress, your likes, the way they think, because they have no boyfriend, their dress, your personality, because they are no pretty, because they say lesbians, because they say they are stupid and other qualities.
And the boys and girls popular make problems with your partners and ultimately they are going to a psychologist to support them with that problem.
And the popular and no popular make friends and make the armory.

The protagonists of cases of bullying tend to be children in the process of entry into adolescence (12-13 years), being slightly higher percentage of girls in the profile of victims.
Bullying is a form of torture, methodical and systematic, in which the aggressor add to the victim, often with the silence, indifference or complicity of other colleagues
Such school violence is characterized therefore by a reiteration designed to achieve the intimidation of the victim, involving an abuse of power as is exercised by a stronger aggressor (whether real or perceived this strength subjectively) than that . The subject is abused, so exposed physically and emotionally abusive to the subject, generating leads to a number of psychological sequelae (although these are not part of the diagnosis), it is common for the embattled living terrified by the idea of attending school and who is very nervous, sad and lonely in their daily lives. In some cases, the severity of the situation could have thoughts about suicide or even to materialize, actual consequences of harassment against people regardless of age.
Objectives and evolution of harassment escolar
the target practice of bullying is to intimidate, belittle, reduce, subdue, flatten, intimidate and consuming, emotionally and intellectually, to the victim, in order to obtain a favorable outcome for those who harass or meet a pressing need to dominate, subdue, attack, and destroy others who may have the bully as a predominant pattern of social relationships with others.

My opinion is:
All children should get along, and if anyone ever bothers him, right then you should see the teacher and not to provoke anger at another child, meaning that everyone get along as friends and colleagues both girls and boys, but as we are all partners must always be united and solve problems with the help of our Partner our teachers to speak properly without any discussion and not cause problems because we are partners we'll be together for some years and we must get along with everyone. Although there are children who molest other for fun, but what happens here is education that gives a parent a child.

LESLY ARIAS

What is Bullying?
School Bullying and harassment is a growing problem in classrooms. It consists of a deliberate psychological or physical abuse received by a child or children by one or more children or youth. Bullying is cruel and try to subdue and frighten the victims. In Spain, 1.6% of children and young people are consistently Bullying and 5.7% live it sporadically. A survey by the Institute of Youth (INJUVE) raises the percentage of victims of physical or psychological usual 3% of the students.

Types of bullying or bullying
■ Physical: Paste Kicking, punching, biting, shoving, hitting them with objects, etc.. It occurs more frequently in primary than in secondary.

■ Psychological: undermine the individual's self esteem and foster their sense of fear.
■ Social intended to isolate the young from the pack and colleagues

personal opinion: the bullyng is a bad process that leads to this violence because the violence seen repuite offender or suffers from low self-esteem, it wants to take his anger with individuals generally weaker than the same, this is because to stop because in our country this phenomenon is very present among young elementary and secondary schools to eradicate this phenomenon is recommended that steps be taken in schools as palticas and penalties for those who commit this type of situation

Other features of the passive victims include: low self-esteem, lack of friends, depression, although some of these traits might be the result of the harassment. Victim provocative behavior usually has a annoying and irritating to others. Sometimes peers cause them to react inappropriately, so after suffering harassment may come to seem justified.

How does it develop?
1 The harasser can begin to fix potential targets of harassment while the band members are positioning themselves against possible attacks.
2 º Soon the harasser happens to perform small acts of intimidation that are not effectively faced by the victim, while spectators either support or are unconcerned about the first assault.

In the aggressors: For the perpetrators, harassing behaviors can become chronic and becoming an illegitimate way to achieve its objectives, with the consequent risk of referral to criminal behavior, including domestic violence and gender.

In the audience: For its part, the spectators are at risk of numb to the daily aggression and not to react to situations of injustice in their environment. Dealing with bullying and abuse among students Boys and girls should know that they are entitled to their physical and psychological integrity and that nobody can abuse them physically or psychologically, or sexually. They must know that attitudes and behaviors do not have to allow in their relations with peers and adults.

They prepare for awkward behavior and peer pressure. Breaking the code of silence Their relationships to be egalitarian rather than arrogance and dominance-submission. Should be made aware that they must report and disclose situations of physical, psychological and they happen to observe or know of some of his companions / as. both parents or family and the school.

No position on the side of the bully and the victim to tell their parents or loved ones, even offering to go with him if you are unsure.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DO AND MAKE

When 'do' or 'make' are used as main verbs it can be confusing to ESL learners. The verb 'make' goes with some words and the verb 'do' with other words.
Do
We use the verb 'do' when someone performs an action, activity or task.
do a crossword
do the ironing
do the laundry
do the washing
do the washing up
'Do' is often used when referring to work of any kind.
do your work
do homework
do housework
do your job
!Note - these activities do not usually produce a physical object.
'Do' for General Ideas
Use the verb 'do' when speaking about things in general. In other words, to describe an action without saying exactly what the action is. This form is often used with the words 'something, nothing, anything, everything, etc.'
I'm not doing anything today.
He does everything for his mother.
She's doing nothing.
Important Expressions with 'Do'
There are a number of standard expressions that take the verb 'do'. The best solution is to try to learn them.
do badly
do business
do the dishes
do a favour
do good
do harm
do time - (to go to prison)
do well
do your best
do your hair
do your nails
do your worst
Make
We use the verb 'make' for constructing, building or creating
make a dress
make food
make a cup of tea / coffee
'Make' is often used when referring to preparing food of any kind.
make a meal - breakfast / lunch / dinner
!Note - these activities usually create something that you can touch.
Important Expressions with 'Make'
There are a number of standard expressions that take the verb 'make'. The best solution is to try to learn them.
make amends
make arrangements
make believe - (to pretend)
make a choice
make a comment
make a decision
make a difference
make an effort
make an enquiry
make an excuse
make a fool of yourself
make a fortune
make friends
make a fuss
make a journey
make love
make a mess
make a mistake
make money
make a move
make a noise
make a phone call
make a plan
make a point
make a profit
make a promise
make a remark
make a sound
make a speech
make a suggestion
make time
make a visit
make your bed - (to prepare the bed for sleeping in)


One explanation is that to make means to create something:
make a cake / make a mess
and to do is to accomplish something / execute a task
do your homework / do the dishes
However the exceptions to this are numerous, e.g.,
make an appointment / make the bed /make a phone call - these don't involve creating anything. You can say 'I did a curry for supper' or 'I made a curry for supper'.
If you are a learner of English the best way to learn this is simply to learn these as 'chunks', 'do' or 'make' + phrase, rather than try to analyse the meaning of 'do' and 'make' in each case.
DO
Do your homework / do the dishes / do the washing / do the dusting / do the ironing
MAKE
Make breakfast / make a mess / make an appointment / make tea

pirates of the caribbean the curse of the black pearl





This outstanding film tells the story of Captain Jack Sparrow, a cunning and ironic pirate and Will Turner, a skilled blacksmith, who try to rescue the beautiful Elizabeth Swann, who is the daughter of a governor and the love of Will, who has been kidnapped by the feared Captain Barbossa. While Will make it impossible for Elizabeth, Jack wants to recover all costs Barbossa's ship, The Black Pearl. What I do not know is that Barbossa and his crew will not be easy prey because they carry an ancient curse that leaves them not to live or die
KEVIN AND LOBATO


When it is revealed that the only thing thayt can braek the curse is Elizabeth`s blood, Jack and Will are faced with a race against time battle against the undead to save the Governor`s daughter.
Karen Itzel R. M.
Leslie Andrea E.R.
Dulce Estefanis T.M.


Captain Jack Sparrow’s idyllic pirate life capsized after his former first mate, the wily Captain Barbossa mutinied and commandeered Jack’s ship, the Black Pearl. Barbossa marooned Jack on a deserted island, but Jack escaped. Some years later, Jack arrives in Port Royal to steal a ship. His plan is sidetracked when he saves the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth from drowning. Because he’s a pirate, he’s promptly jailed and condemned to hang. Barbossa attacks Port Royal, searching for the last gold coin needed to end an ancient Aztec curse. Barbossa kidnaps Elizabeth, who has come into possession of the coin. He mistakenly believes she’s the child of long-gone shipmate, Bootstrap Bill. Will Turner, the town blacksmith and a master swordsman, loves Elizabeth, and he enlists Jack’s help to rescue her. Jack agrees, but neglects to mention the curse that has doomed Barbossa and the other pirates to an immortal life as ‘living dead.’ (Jack escaped the curse.) After busting Jack out of jail, the two hijack a British naval ship, collect a motley crew, and chase the Black Pearl to Isla de la Muerta, the pirates’ island hideout. Along the way, Jack tells an incredulous Will that Will’s father is actually the pirate known as Bootstrap Bill Turner. Meanwhile, Commodore Norrington, who also loves Elizabeth, is in hot pursuit of Jack and Will.


PIRATES OF CARIBBEAN: the curse of the Black Pearl
The movie are very funny, because the principal pirate " Jack Sparrow" are very inteligent, funny, very cunningand any cualyties.
The movie is about a pirate who has a boat named Black Pearl, wich , lost a battle .
This movie tells us the adventures of pirates in those days. But using current technology, and used a series of special effects that history is becoming increasingly interesting, very funny but also axciting.-
The performance of Johnny Deep (Jack Sparrow) is particulary very fun, because I belive without he, the movie wouldn`t have the fun and enjoyment with wich account.

EL DIA DE SAN PATRICIO (ST PATRICK'S DAY).

La historia del Día de San Patricio

El Día de San Patricio es una fiesta religiosa y es el aniversario de San Patricio. Esa fiesta ha sido celebrada por ciento de años en Irlanda como una fiesta religiosa. La ciudad de Boston fue la primera en celebrar públicamente el Día de San Patricio en los Estados Unidos en 1737. En 1762, la ciudad de New York tuvo su primera parada de San Patricio y ahora Irlanda usa la fiesta como una oportunidad de aumentar el turismo y de celebrar a Irlanda en el resto del mundo. El festival de San Patricio en Dublín, Irlanda es una celebración de múltiples paradas, conciertos, dramas y espectáculos al aire libre y de fuegos artificiales.
San Patricio, cuyo nombre era Maewyn, se cree que nació en la isla de Gales en el año 385 después de Cristo. Después que fue vendido como un esclavo y escapo, Patricio fue nombrado el segundo obispo de Irlanda, donde sirvió por 30 años. El murió el 17 de marzo del año 461 después de Cristo. San Patricio es el santo patrono apóstol nacional de Irlanda y se cree que contribuyó a la cristianización de Irlanda.
La hoja de trébol es un icono tradicional del Día de San Patricio. Esta creencia data que San Patricio usaba el trébol para explicar el misterio de la trinidad. Se dice que el usaba el trébol en sus sermones para explicar como el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo podían ser elementos separados y existir en la misma entidad. Hoy en día las hojas de trébol se llevan en la ropa el Día de San Patricio.
Otra figura legendaria es un duende. Es una especie de nomo irlandés, representado como un pequeño anciano. De acuerdo con la leyenda irlandesa esos seres viven de forma solitaria y se pasan el tiempo haciendo zapatos. Se dice de estos duende que esconden tesoros de oro y si se les atrapa deben revelar el secreto de su tesoro. Pero no debe perderlos de vista porque si ellos escapan también se escapan las esperanzas de obtener el tesoro. Estos duendes están asociados tradicionalmente con Día de San Patricio en Irlanda. Estos duendes son una invención norteamericana y se les ha reconocido como símbolos del Día de San Patricio.
No olvide de usar el color verde el Día de San Patricio y de celebrar con seguridad con los fuegos artificiales Phantom.
El Día de San Patricio se celebra el 17 de marzo.

ENGLISH PROJECT, USEFUL INFORMATION IN SPANISH

Un juego de rol (traducción usual en castellano del inglés role-playing game, literalmente ‘juego de interpretación de papeles’) es un juego en el que, tal como indica su nombre, dos o más jugadores desempeñan un determinado rol, papel o personalidad. Cuando una persona hace el papel de X significa que está interpretando un papel que normalmente no hace.


ORIGENES
A finales de los años 60 se desarrolló en Estados Unidos un nuevo concepto de juego. Concretamente, se atribuye al profesor de sociología del Boston College William A. Gamson, creador en 1966 del SimSoc (Simulated Society), juego utilizado en universidades y otros grupos para enseñar diversos aspectos de la sociología, ciencia política y habilidades de comunicación. En este juego no había ni fichas, ni tablero, ni siquiera unas reglas estrictas; únicamente se basaba en la interpretación, en el diálogo, la imaginación y en el sentido de empresa y de aventura. Este concepto fue tomando forma hasta que en 1974 se publicó Dungeons & Dragons, que estaba basado en la mecánica de los juegos de estrategia (wargames), introduciendo elementos de fantasía heroica. Sus autores, sin embargo, tuvieron que publicarlo por cuenta propia porque ninguna editorial confiaba en que se vendiera con suficiente éxito. A esta nueva modalidad de juego se la llamó «juego de rol», de la palabra francesa rôle, que significa ‘papel’ en el sentido del personaje que interpreta un actor.


BENEFICIOS A LA EDUCACION
  • El juego, en general, es fundamental en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje: a la hora de aprender, la calidad con que una persona aprende algo se basa en la utilidad práctica que le encuentre a dicho conocimiento. El juego permite acceder al conocimiento de forma significativa, pues convierte en relevantes, informaciones que serían absurdas de otra manera.
  • Otro gran aporte de estos juegos en beneficio del desarrollo educativo, es la promoción de la lectura como medio lúdico y recreativo, lo que a la larga favorece la creación de hábitos que ayudan a superar muchas de las dificultades que surgen en los estudios como consecuencia de una deficiente lectura comprensiva, por falta de motivación.
  • Otro aspecto que ayuda a desarrollar los juegos de rol es la adquisición de una gran riqueza expresiva. Con estos juegos se desarrolla una gran riqueza de vocabulario, otro de los grandes déficit que suele ser origen del fracaso escolar.
  • Los juegos de rol también estimulan el potencial creativo e imaginativo de la persona, además de hacer trabajar el razonamiento y la logica durante el transcurso de las aventuras al enfrentar nuevos panoramas, retos y confrontaciones e intentar solucionarlos.
TEMATICAS PARA JUEGOS DE ROL


Aunque muy amenudo se mete a los juegos de rol en el género de la fantasía épico-medieval con seres fantásticos muy estereotipados, (como elfos, magos y dragones), esto probablemente se deba a que el juego más famoso se basaba en las novelas de ese género (notablemente en las de Tolkien y Moorcock). La ambientación del rol en realidad tiene una infinidad de temáticas, limitadas sólo por la imaginación.
Históricos. Como su término indica, están basados en hechos reales, pero al ser la naturaleza de un juego de rol la de que los jugadores interactúen en la historia, estos juegos dan la posibilidad de intervenir en el desarrollo de dichos hechos, con la posibilidad de cambiar los acontecimientos que todos conocemos, o simplemente se utiliza el contexto histórico para ambientar lo que será la aventura en sí. Es requisito que los hechos sucedan en nuestro planeta en un tiempo pasado. Esta categoría es muy interesante para fines educativos.
Algunos juegos de esta categoría son: ¡Piratas!, Far West, Comandos de guerra etc. Se entiende que en un juego histórico hay que limitarse a los hechos, a lo meramente factible y comprobable, y a la coherencia espacio-temporal. Por ello hay que tener cuidado con las «aportaciones libres» y fantásticas de los autores para no caer en lo irreal, que podría echar por tierra el objetivo puramente histórico. Por contra, al estar basados en la realidad, exige por parte de quien crear la aventura una gran cultura general, no sólo histórica sino también científica, cultural etc., pues se da el caso de que si los jugadores tienen un conocimiento mayor que el director de juego en alguno de los aspectos de la historia, aquellos podrían echar por tierra sus planes y quedar éste en ridículo. Los manuales que acompañan al juego suelen intentar dar la información mínima imprescindible para cubrir este punto, además de servir como material didáctico, pero hay que tener cuidado con las aportaciones «libres» de los autores.
Históricos con parte fantástica. Son los que, estando situados en un tiempo pasado o presente, y en nuestro mundo conocido, añaden detalles de fantasía (o de realidad no comprobada). Dentro de esta categoría estarían juegos como Oráculo, Pendragón, Aquelarre, Ars Magica, La Llamada de Cthulhu, la tercera edición de RuneQuest etc. Dentro de esta categoría destaca la subcategoría:
Terror. Este género literario pretende divertir a través de la creación del misterio, la intriga y el miedo. Para que esto sea posible, es necesario poner a los personajes en una situación creíble y coherente, por lo que se suele situar la acción en el mundo «real», en el pasado o en el presente, aunque también los hay en el futuro, pero eso entra en el ámbito de la ciencia ficción. Los juegos de terror suelen basarse en supersticiones culturales (demonios, ritos satánicos, espíritus, vampiros, etc) o pueden ser de base científica, como los basados en la obra de H.P. Lovecraft. Aunque habitualmente los protagonistas son personas «normales» (detectives, científicos, militares etc.), a raíz de juegos como Vampiro: la mascarada, los jugadores pudieron tomar el papel de las criaturas que son el origen de dicho terror: vampiros, hombres lobo, espíritus... La idea, que tuvo un gran éxito, se explota todavía en la actualidad en medios distintos a los de los juegos, como se hace por ejemplo en las novelas de la saga Crepúsculo.
Ucronía (realidad alternativa). Muchos juegos (como en el género literario que lleva tal título) plantean un mundo similar al nuestro, para poder salirse de las limitaciones que supondría ceñirse a la realidad (históricos), pero aprovechan detalles culturales ya conocidos que ayudan a su asimilación. La ucronía consiste en la reconstrucción ficticia de nuestro mundo real, pero a partir de cómo podría haber sido en vez de como es en su estado ya conocido. Dentro de esta categoría entrarían juegos como Castillo de Falkenstein o Space: 1889.
Fantasía épico-medieval (también llamada fantasía heroica). Basada en las gestas medievales europeas, donde un héroe viajaba, combatía y resolvía problemas intelectuales y morales, y de las leyendas y cuentos tradicionales, sobre todo de origen germánico. Esta idea fue evolucionando hasta que en el siglo XX diversos autores, entre ellos J.R.R. Tolkien, crearon un mundo ficticio nuevo, basado en la cultura del norte de Europa, pero abierto a la aparición de nuevas criaturas, especies, razas y culturas basadas en las leyendas, pero idealizadas y estereotipadas para cumplir funciones políticas y dramáticas. Muchos juegos de rol de esta categoría están basados en obras literarias, como El Señor de los Anillos, pero otros inspiraron una línea editorial paralela, que sirviera de apoyo promocional, como es el caso de todas las colecciones de novelas basadas en el juego de rol clásico Dungeons & Dragons (Crónicas de la Dragonlance, Reinos Olvidados, Falcongris etc). En la misma línea está Warhammer Fantasy Battle, cuyo principal fuente de ingresos se basa en la venta de miniaturas de metal y plástico.
Espada y brujería. Es un subgénero de la fantasía heroica, aunque cronológicamente nació casi simultáneamente o incluso un poco antes (Robert Ervin Howard, fundador de la espada y brujería, publicó los relatos de Kull a partir de 1929 y los de Conan a partir de 1932, mientras que el principal fundaor de la fantasía heróica, Tolkien, empezó a publicar sobre la Tierra Media a partir de 1937, con El hobbit. Ejemplos de juegos de rol de espada y brujería son los que han sido creados para el universo de Robert E. Howard (la Era Hiboria) o el juego Stormbringer, ambientado en los Reinos Jóvenes, del autor británico Michael Moorcock. Al universo de ficción de éste último se le ha atribuido el género de dark fantasy («fantasía oscura») por escenificar un mundo duro, sombrío y pesimista.
Ficción completa o futura. Son todos aquellos juegos de rol que no están basados en una situación no definida en el tiempo y/o en el espacio, o en estimaciones temporales arbitrarias hacia el futuro:
Ciencia ficción futurista. A raíz de la aparición de los primeros juegos de rol de fantasía, se adaptaron las reglas para poder ser utilizadas en ambientes futuristas, cambiando las espadas de metal por pistolas láser, la magia por la psíquica, los castillos por naves espaciales, los dragones por robots gigantes o criaturas venidas del espacio exterior y los viajes cruzando ríos y montañas por los saltos interplanetarios a la velocidad de la luz. En el fondo las historias son muy similares a las medievales, con los mismos objetivos (salvar, escapar, derrotar, etc.), quedando la parte científica en segundo plano. Así aparecieron juegos como Paranoia , Star Strek , Mechwarrior, Traveller  etc. A raiz de la llegada de internet, y de obras como Neuromante, de William Gibson, el futuro tomó otro cariz más oscuro y decadente, y el espectro creativo se abrió con juegos como Cyberpunk 2020  Otras vertientes basadas en la ciencia ficción son los superhéroes, mutantes y mezclas entre fantasía medieval y ciencia ficción, como ocurre en los juegos Sol Oscuro, Shadowrun o Fading Suns, en los que la ciencia ficción es meramente un decorado.
Space Opera (o fantasía épico-espacial). Puede decirse que es un subgénero del anterior pero en el que el elemento de ciencia ficción es uno más de la ambientación, aunque pueda en ocasiones representar su principal trasfondo. Por ejemplo, el universo ficticio de Star Wars (con dos juegos de rol publicados hasta la fecha el de 1987 y el de 2000) está ambientado en un pasado casi mitológico, y no en el futuro como suele suceder con la ciencia ficción. Asimismo, dentro del género del Space Opera existe el juego de rol de mismo título, Space Opera, publicado por primera vez en 1980 en Estados Unidos.

LANGUAGE TUTORING



Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.

Every language in the world comprises four basic principles. It does not matter what sort of language it is, where it is from and how it is structured – they are all made up of reading, writing, speaking and listening. These four principles are intrinsically linked but also very different. They must all be mastered to become fluent in a language but they all have their own unique traits. People can be good at one and poor at another.

But at the same time, there is little chance of learning a language well if the person learning does not master all four. They are linked and knowledge of each discipline in one language aids understanding and proficiency in another.

Reading


Reading may well be the first discipline that a new student of a language comes into contact with. Seeing the words of a language on paper will often be the first place people see the language, at least knowingly. It is here, in this discipline, that learners will begin to see how the language is out together and how the sentences are formed and words come together to make sense.Reading is all about und
erstanding the written word and therefore it is only natural that once you have been reading for a while you will want to progress to writing.

Writing


Writing is where the language learner starts to actually create language themselves. It may be writing a letter or a shirt anecdote from their teacher but when the student puts pen to paper they begin to use the language for themselves as well as understand it as they do in reading. Writing has the big advantage that when something has been written down, it can be revised and worked at until correct, thus helping the learner to eradicate their mistakes – something which cannot be done when the learner starts speaking.

Speaking


Speaking is the most used aspect of language for most people. Unfortunately, it is also pretty tricky to master. A person who speaks a foreign language has no time to correct themselves – once the words have been spoken, they are out there, right or wrong. Speaking to other people who are fluent in the language is the only way to get better and practice in this field really does make perfect. But in all truth, the only way to perfect speaking skills to hold conversations and to do that one must be able to listen as well.

Listening


Listening is probably the hardest discipline to master for new speakers of a language. It is an interpreting discipline like reading but unlike reading, there is no time to re read the words and look them up. It is a verbal discipline like speaking, but you are not in control and must understand what is being said. But until you can listen to, and follow, a conversation in the language you are learning, you will never be truly fluent.
There is no middle ground with languages. A person who can understand the spoken word should be able to understand the written word. And likewise, if someone can write the language, they should be able to speak it as well. The four all go hand in hand and are inextricable linked. A fluent speaker can perform all four disciplines – some may be harder than others – but to converse with native speakers, they must all be mastered eventually.
