  1. Well .... what makes you depressed? it's a hard question if you think for a minute, I mean, I wonder if there any reason for feeling this way, the life is wonderful, and you are the only responsible of how your life is going. you make your own decisions, the failures is kind of test, you need to be stronger for beat them, and the depressed isn't helpful, I advise you to take the defeat as a victory training.

  1. You're right Camilo and have you ever felt depressed? Well, in my personal case it happens sometimes when you try almost everything but you don't receive what you want. Or maybe some days you just wake up feeling like this.

  1. When you don't receive what you want it's possible that you aren't doing the right thing, for that reason it's good to stop for a moment and ask yourselves, What's wrong? What I need to change? and afterward you will be able to try again.:)

  1. Good advice ;)

  1. It's better to here:

    1 How long have you been having flu? (have)
    2 We've been cleaning the house all morning. (clean)
    3 I've lived abroad for a year, but now I'm going home. (live)
    4 Ouch! I've burned my finger on the oven!. (burn)
    5 Alan's been learning French since September. (learn)
    6 How long have you been going out with Jim? (you go out with)

  1. I agree with you when something goes wrong do not always have to be depressed, let's face it, we must sometimes be good losers.

  1. Hey guys, I tell you what makes me happy is when I can overcome difficulties and realize that one can overcome and that our dreams come true that we start slowly to be a triumphant.
    For this reason, I tell guys that never stop dreaming,dreams are what keep us alive.
    By: Rocio Ruiz

  1. Awww that's cute :)

  1. everyone wants to realize their dreams but sometimes, The happiness is also in the present.

  1. WHAT MAKES ME LAUGH? I THINK THAT IS WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING REALLY FUNNY, I REMEMBER THAT WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WAS VERY NAUGHTY AND SOMETIMES JUST BECAUSE I WANTED. I LIKED TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE GOT SCARED WHEN I THREW THEM SOMETHING SUDDENLY OR SOMETHING ABOVE THEIR HEADS. THEY SOMETIMES THOUGHT IT WAS AN ANIMAL.
    By: Rocio Ruiz

  1. Lol... such Rocio, when you was a child, I know one was wicked... no lies...
    Well what makes me laugth? of course is when someone says something really funny. :) But no jokes because most of those have bad jokes. I like more than to make stupid comments and notes.
    I also think that boys are funnier than girls,although girls are also funny but very few. :/

  1. well... what me scares?
    I think that is when I'm alone in my house.. The silence! Really scared me :(
    but only in confined spaces frightens me, NOT outside, outdoors.
    I'm also afraid thing paranormal, many people don't believe this. Not that I'm a believer, but say that there are out exit there... Maybe I don't have scared me very well, but if you've been looking at me and other things that ordinary people also feel :| but I'm calm as God always cares for me and I always feel like a protection :)

  1. Hello....What makes me happy?

    I think I'm happy when I can help people specially when they are my friends,my family or my classmates. I like to feel that they are important to me. I'm happy when I have good grades in college. I'm happy when I eat ice cream, when my friends ask me what I want to do and I say I want eat ice cream haha. I'm really happy eating, but I am also happy when I do exercise. I usually do exercise with my friends it's very fun.I think my true happiness is being with people I love because I don’t like being alone.

  1. Sometimes I doubt about the presence, when many things are ephemeral. it's frustrating when there's no doubt that the distance doesn't last when we imagine as the air behind the trees at night, I feel frustrated when I have to invent to keep living, when I have to hide something. Although people say, if you want something, it costs you, but the ghost wont let me and I don't have strength to fight.

  1. On the other hand, it´s also frustrating when people want to live but they can´t, when you look your dreams and you discover that there´s nothing, when you can´t help, even if you want, when life is unfair, and when you can´t find yourself, it's frustrating when the sweet voice of a child become hideous cries, when all seems but nothing is. :´)

  1. I get scared with what man can do.
    I feel afraid when we want to be blind
    when we put a bandage on our eyes
    when we think that the world is so small
    as our work.

    scares me when people die of hunger
    I get scared when this planet trembles
    I get scared when the mountains turn into water
    I feel afraid when it's hot
    when the sun burns my skin and my eyes.

    I feel fear when the economy grows
    When we open our wounds
    when the jails are filled with innocent while the guilty are out

    when we just imagine
    when we say, " Yes, everything will be alright"
    when we put our future to chance
    when we lie to ourselves
    I feel afraid when tomorrow is uncertain.
    and when we think, we can arrive with simple desires.

  1. The man's heart needs to believe something, and we believe lies when we don't find truth to believe. Mariano José de Larra

  1. Hello, Guys.I like your comments and want share mine.
    What makes your happy? Well, To get up every morning I thank God for another day of life, and know than I will be to share whit all my family and friends around me. Most times I stay in good mood and will always have a smile for everyone. There are special days that make me happier as they are my birthday, my family birthday, christmas and vacation.
    What makes you to relax? I have little time to relax for my job, but I like to see a good movie (a horror movie), go out with my boyfriend to walk in malls, eat something fast and delicious, social gatherings and sleep.
    It´s annoying when...my brother leaves his things lying around the house (books, clothes, shoes), for more than telling you where to leave your things, he ignores. That makes me get annoyed.
    What scares you? Really, I scares suffer chronic and severe illness, I scares to have a traffic accident, I Scares than in my city there is a natural disaster and I scares the cockroaches, scorpions, snakes and spiders.
    What makes you stressed? In fact, I feel stressed the excesive amount of work that doesn´t even a minute to have a drink, I feel stressed my co-workers slow in their activities and I feel stressed vehicular traffic jams.
    What makes you depressed? I feel depressed when the families leaves behind children and the elderly with their illness in Hospital, to them must be placed in shelters, this is really unfair, and by the current rainy season and people affected nothing left.
    Finally, at every stage of life we all have our ups and dows that we must be overcome, not everything is easy, all done with much effort for very small the target, I think there are still many things to live and to see and possibly surprise us.

  1. Nice comment Patricia. I'm afraid of cockroaches too. They are disgusting.

    Camilo, did you write yourself the previous comment? It's amazing!. Thanks for your participation.

  1. I agree with Rocio. It's very fun when you laugh of people when we threw them something above their heads hahahaha, many people scream or mourn...When I was a child, I liked to hide things in the house for example "el molinillo del chocolate" hahaha when my granmother started making chocolate, she didn't know where it was, she was angry, and she asked me where was this and I told her I didn't know but I laughed a lot then she never believed me.
    By: Laura Fernanda.

  1. Helloooo...umm I agree with Tatiana. I don't like to be alone in my house specially at nights, because when I was a child my cousins scared me with "el coco" and in the dark haha. I think I don't like the dark but sometimes because I don't feel unsafe...I don't believe in paranormal things because I've never seen rare things.
    By: Laura Fernanda

  1. Like all issues related to the paranormal, I have books, I see programs in discovery channels, paranormal activity exists althought some don´t believe.

  1. Yes I did :$
    more that the ""paranormal things"", I get scared when the people stop feeling.

  1. hello guys ,i like your commentaries have nice opinions very varied.

  1. I tell them that if I'm stressed out, relax and stay calm, first deep breath, try to calm down by counting to ten, I think of something that makes me happy at that moment.

  1. is very annoying when my brother me clutter my stuff and he doesn`t leave them where found, I hate that others speak or Judging from the other people without knowing them. but is very annoying when my brother left her stuff anywhere. I agree with you patricia.=)

  1. Laura;that's ok, that we thought the same thing, really it is very funny to make jokes at other people but healthy.

  1. They're very good and obviously their views
    respected. :)
    Patricia I love your comment, I think we share almost equal or like. "To get up Every morning I thank God for another day of life" this is true,because without it we're nothing. I always do that and satisfying to know that someone else does too. ;)

  1. well... what makes me stressed?
    I think that's when things go wrong me.
    When I try so hard and every thing goes wrong it stresses me a lot or also when I don't understand something. I also get stressed when people annoy me and I'm very although maybe people do to annoy me.
    But I know I have to take it, easy because they become ill.

  1. Hi all. Rocio,I think a good technique to combact with stress, rehearse. I agree to the judgments without knowing the people and that appearances deceive.

  1. I agree with my classmates who find the happiness in little things and moments because, this situations are just like energy that recharges the life.
    For example, I'm happy when I go to the country places to feel the sound of nature and walk between the waves of the air. It also relax me so much.
    Another source of happiness (hahaha) for me is spend time in talk meetings with friends or relatives and share opinios about different and interesting topics; learn about experiences and points of view of the other people.
    By: Eder Martinez

  1. I totally agree with Eder. It's better when you find happiness in little and simple things.

  1. I totally agree with Eder is very fun and beautiful spend time with the enviroment you can relax more easy.

  1. hello =) guys I tell them that till now not get frustated and hope I never to get frustated or that some dream be me frustrate, becouse I will get arrive feel me very bad and sad.

  1. I feel bored when a person speaks all the time about the same thing,when something isn`t interesting and you feel sleep, it`s very boring for me.=/

  1. what scares you? ok;I hardly ever feel fear,but I get arrive feel scared if I got arrived to die, for example drowned or burned totaly with life, is something that I never wish. =(

  1. Hello teacher and guys. I hope you are very well. I Send my opinions.
    what makes you happy?
    I am happy for many things. For example: because I have my family to my side to share the life and see us grow in all the aspects, overcoming us day to day.
    I am happy when I learn, discover and also when I teach something to the people, when I overcomes problems, when I am able to achieve goals. "There is not way to the happiness, the happiness is the way" (Wayne Dyer).
    what makes you laugh?
    The laugh is the expression of the happiness. I laugh at the mischiefs of the childrens, and the mischiefs of my dog, in the movies of Charles Chaplin or Mr Bean or the "reencauchados" TV program, and also I laugh of the ignorance of the falses political leaders. I laugh because also sometimes cry.
    What makes you to relax?
    The music is the best forms to relax. The classic music is my favorite for relax.
    Walk in the country, see the green of the mountains and listen the sound of the water or read writers as Khalil Gibran or Osho.But I don´t forget that after the tempest the calm comes.
    I avoid feel disappointed or frustrated because I think that the problems are ephemeral and they have solution in the time, all is question of time, everything changes, everything transforms; and feel disappointed doesn´t help anything, and must effort for be happy!
    Greetings.
    Eliécer Uribe.

  1. I like your comments, Eliecer. I agree with you to share moments of our lives with family, it´s gratifying to see growing in all aspects to those who most want and around us every day, help and advise to achieve goals. I like the phrase of Wayne Dyer is wise enough.

  1. *WHAT MAKE YOU STRESSED? I feel stressed when I need something very importan in that moment and I can`t to find, for most that the search, I don`t remember in that place to guard or put.
    *WHAT MAKE YOU EMBARRASED? I will tell you an anecdote mia aday when I was walking for the street just ,I wolked near of a place where sold fruit, I was concentrated, when sudenly, I sliped with some piece of shell or fruit.the woman that come in fron of me, she was stop looking me. first thing I did was to get up as if nothing had happened and kept walking,that was very embarrasing for me.
    *WHAT MAKES YOU DEPRESSED? for now, I don`t feel depressed, maybe when I remember my friends and precise that day is my birthday and they don`t call me, I feel that they forget me and you feel that you are only, that you haven`t friends of truth. I feel sad for this reason.

  1. What makes me happy it’s to achieve the goals I have proposed, I mean the accomplished duty; to be sure I can count on my family and closer friends.

    What makes me laugh like everybody it’s a good joke, a good comedy movie,
    preferably with the performance of Adam Samler or the curly guy who is always with him and of course Jim Carry; suddenly a compliment from a woman to me ... :p:p.

    What definitely relaxes me it’s when my mom, or my grand mom or pretty girl caresses my hair ... it feels so good. But I like pretty much to look at landscapes; and I’m totally agree with Eder about the natural things... in particular sat and watching as far as possible in a sunset with the orange-red sun from the beach,or from the savanna of Arauca, or from the top of a mountain. Walking on the beach as the water touches my feet is very relaxing as well. I really enjoy these things.

    It's really frustrating when there are things that run away from my hands and definitely I cannot do anything else I wanted. That rather than I try to do something right the results aren`t as I was expected.

    Certainly it’s annoying when someone promises something and fails; in addition it fuck me over when someone lies to me. I bother too much with myself when I want to say something and I prefer to stay quiet or don’t find out the better words to say.

    It's really boring when I have absolutely nothing to do and cannot find an activity that could be entertained.

    I get stressed when I am engaged in a problem, but I laugh every time I remember what a friend said once to me "if a problem has a solution... what for do you get stressed; and if the problem has no solution... what for do you get stressed; total... don’t get stressed". Another thing too stressful it’s driving around the town in heavy traffic and get stuck in traffic.

    I get depressed when something in myself failure, when I miss opportunities and obviously when something bad happens to my family, my closer friends or someone who has made my life better in some way or get disappointed each of them.

    I think there are three things in my life that cause I get nervous, worried and anxious, one is to present some kind of test or exam, another is a job interview and the last one would be to tell a girl to be my girlfriend. :):p

  1. Hi everybody,
    I hope you've had a good holyweek and you've done much oration, I want to share some personal feeling.

    What makes me happy?
    well, first my family, i think my family is the most impotant for me because there i put all my life, I really feel happy when they are well, when each persor of my nucleo family are living good moments in their jobs, their estudies, their relationships etc..

    I give regoice when my sister come back at home because i can see she and my two nephwes, I enjoy when the family is meeting.

    I continou tomorrow, it's late and need to sleep.

  1. hello guys,
    Carlos agree with you, I also love that I consciously or caress my hair, but carefully.

    William,agree with you too,is very pleased when the whole family meets, I think one feels very happy in this occasion, but it is even better because you are confident with them and with yourself.

  1. WHAT MAKES YOU ANXIOUS? maybe, I feel anxious when I go to travel a new place for me, any place unknown. you always feel nervous or also when i am participating in the english song festival and I won the firt place, most one hundred thousand ($100.000), I was very anxious for know who be the winner, its was really fantastic for me.

    HAVE YOU EVER FELT DISSAPOINTED? I think, that sometimes I feel dissapointed when a review in which I studied a lot, sometimes don´t know why you failed, and you feel that you had clear about this, maybe the nerves or get distracted and you don`t concentrate enough and for this reason you fail yourself .

  1. Hi everybody,

    I really like the Eliecer's comment because I think that the family is a great reason to be happy. If you have time to share with your family you should enjoyed to the maximum and so you feel pleased.

    I agree with Eliecer when he says that he relaxes walking in the country and listen the water sound. I feel relaxed when I enjoy the nature, the beauty of the trees, the birds singing and when I see any animal in its wild habitat. I relaxed listening to music too, but I really relaxed when listen the rock music, it's a freak behaviour but it's true.

    Oscar.

  1. What feel you happy?
    Since ...... there are many things that make me happy, because it seems to me that the life is to be happy and to enjoy these small things that do that every day is a different .pero especially I am happy when I am with my family or friends seeing a movie, rested or alone being with them without doing anything

    *WHAT MAKE YOU STRESSED?
    I feel stressed when I come to house by night, tired, and I go to bed to rest and sleep, and my neighbors come of to the side and put music to high volume, during the whole night ......... and like that I cannot remain slept ..... it is very frustrating
    by:lizeth

  1. Hello boys
    I agree totally with elieser since there is no major happiness that the family .... you prop the fraces of the tintireto seems to me to be very certain

  1. HELLO GUYS,
    Actually, i am nervous and anxious, because i have my last presentation about my graduation project. this is very impotant for me, because is the last note in my major. i would feel disappointed if i will not make a good presentation, because i feel that i worked a lot about that.
    Finish my major is a big attainment for me and my family.
    one of things that make me happy, is when i stay with my family, friends and important people for me, and when my dreams come true.

    MARJORIE RIOS...

  1. I am agree with of opinion the eliecer about the most important is the family, they are who you make very happy.

  1. Marjorie, don't worry about your final presentation. If you work a lot on it, you'll get a good grade. The important thing is that this day you feel sure about yourself and I know you will do a great job.

  1. I want to share I really enjoy the jokes,I get laught wiht a friend of mine because he is always tell me jokes or incredible story that he has ever lived.
    I like to watch a tv show called " tambien caeras",here make some street tricks where people live embarrasing situation.

  1. My feelings!

    I´m happy when in my life everything is ok!
    the first thing is to be fine with my family and be ok with my boyfriend and my friends :)!

    I like to walk and eat, I really like to eat a lot of Popsy´s ice cream and arepiz.

    I laugh at comedy movies, and jockes. I´m not so funny but if I´m with
    somebody funny I feel good. My life isn´t so funny, I´m always working or in my
    English course, it´s a routine, and in my little free time I go out or I sleep!

    On the other hand, I feel bored when I don't have money or when I don´t have time
    to do diferent things.

    It´s annoying when I have to wait to someone, when I´m with selfish people, or when
    people talk to me and I´m stressed.

  1. oppss!!! Sorry, the last comment is by Gabriela

  1. "I like the Eliecer´s comment, be with the family is the best, and use music to relax, too!

    I agree with Carlos, Adam Sandler´s movies are really funny!"
    By: Gabriela

  1. When Rocio says she gets stressed because doesn´t remember where put somethings, I think she has bad memory and needs to go a Doctor urgently or she can ask a advance from Patricia...

  1. well... after reading all your comments and since most of you commented about Don Eliecer ("although he doesn't like being named like that but I do it with respect") for the family ...yes you're totally right, the family is definitely the most important, family is first ... but in my case I often forget them, sometimes I just think about my particular interests.
    I truly regret this!!! :( :(

    I recommend a good funny movie that shows this; it's "Click, losing control" ,Adam Sandler plays in it.

  1. Today was one of best class I have had because the activity was very fun I think the oscar's group did better work,but anything did better that our stars reporters ELIECER and ROCIO, definitely they were the best.

  1. yeah man...you are totally right!!!!

  1. I'm glad you like the activity :) I had fun too.

    So, William I think I sgould ask Patricia a piece of advice because I sometimes can't remember where I put my stuff and then I get stressed. Specially, I used to forget my students' homeworks hehehe.

  1. I agree with Eliecer in what makes him relaxed, I mean, read books or receive the messages from Osho and Wayne Dyer because they give you peace and knowledge for cope with the life.
    By: Eder

  1. Well, I think that everybody likes Eliecer's comment about family and it reasserts that for most people family is the first priority in life.

  1. Hello Guys

    For all, thank you for your comments!
    You are boys and girls very intelligent and committed in the effort by the life.
    This exercise was very good and allowed know our way of think.
    For MARJORIE: You worked a lot in your project then you know, I wish you good luck, you will make an excellent presentation!

    Greetings

    ELIECER

  1. Iagree with rocio when she says that she doesn´t remember Where it puts the things because, It is in the habit of happening to me ....it´s so stressed... because I alwais remember Where I put the things When I do not need them.

  1. Hi guys...
    I think I happy when everything in my life is OK and when my family and my friends are good. Make laugh the jokes and the follies of my friends.

    When I get stressed I go to a SPA to relax or go out with my family or my friends, I was annoyed when someone I love not trust mme because I am totally honest.I´m an active person and I get bored when I have nothing to do.


    Marta Liliana

  1. marjorie
    don´t worry about your final presentation, I know you are a smart person and that everything is going to be ok. Trust yourself. I wish you SUCCESS.

    Marta Liliana

  1. I agree with the teacher, I do not like selfish people, I prefer to be with honest people and share my feelings.


    Marta Liliana

  1. Hello everybody,

    There are many things that make me happy, the best thing is my family because they are the most valuable people in my life when I have free time I've tried to share it with them. I have several nephews and nieces and I enjoy their antics. Currently I’m in love, my girlfriend is a wonderful woman, she makes me happy all the time, and we have shared special moments together. I really like to go out with my friends, we talk a lot about our things, we usually go out to eat fast food, sometimes we go out to drink some beers or cocktails.

    One year ago I was preparing the presentation of my graduation project and I felt extremely nervous but in the end everything went well. When I have to go to an important event I get anxious, for example I get really anxious the night before to go to the metallica concert, the day that I got my new motorcycle, the day that my sister got married and in my first day at work.

    Oscar

  1. Hello guys, well I'm going to share my feelings !!

    It's frustating when I'm talk with some people and this person don't understand what I want to say, when I don't find something I need, when I have many homeworks, I haven't done yet and I don't have time.

    I'm happy when I spend time with my friends, my friends are very funny and we always are laughing, when I take good grades in my school and in my english class, when I help somebody, when is my birthday too.

    By: Deyna Anaya

  1. Hello guys...
    What makes me laugh?...I think I have many reasons to laugh like a good joke, a good TV show,play with my mother or with my cousins but the most important reason is because laughing makes me feel good and I see the world in a positive way, and laugh decreases the stress and I don't want to have wrinkles hahaha...for this reason I laugh a lot haha...Laura Fernanda...

  1. Dear Students,

    Thank you for your time to participate. I appreciate all your comments. In this way we finish with this activity.
