          SONNET 130

         My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
     And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
     As any she belied with false compare.

The poem has plenty of metaphors and similes of the mistress with the nature

       Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow’st.
     So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
     So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

     MY OWN POEM

Shall I compare you to a dawn 

everytime you come and embrace me as the warm sun;

Shall I compare you to a daydream.

as it comes and go away, evil like a sin.

Shall I compare you  a devil who envolves me with its raging fire;

and an angel as charming pure as divine.

You, sly fox who stole my heart with a smile;

I can´t now imagine walking alone through the path of life.

Let me look into your honey eyes and pull you close;

Tell your lips how i´ll never let them go.

You know, you are my Romeo, my soulmate, so much more;

I´ll cherish your love and happiness to the tomb.

       COMPARISON POINT BY POINT 

              Studying abroad and studying in your own country both have bemefits for a student.

Living in another country  can be an exciting experience because everything seems new and different the challenge of living in another environment, with unknow persons, gives you courage and self-confidence , in contrast on your home country everything is familiar, you live nearer to your friends and family, it is also cheaper. 

              If you want to learn another language, living abroad is a great way to do that because you can read magazines or newspapers, watch television programmes, or make friends with people who are native speakers. However if you study on your mother country you don´t have to worry about being taught in a foreign language

              Another reason to live abroad is to learn more about another culture, on the other hand, living in your mother country, you can understand the culture and the expectations of teachers.

               So, if you are thinking anout where to study, consider all of these benefits and make a decision that is right for you

     PARAGRAPH 



   What to do when you grow up on the "online education"? Is it easy to be aware of everything?  It seems nowadays everyone has a website for studying where they are sent homework and stuff, but many students have difficulties searching for information.



            A typical problem is the student that doesn´t know where to look for a document, the one that soesn´t know how to use word to fulfill it (as well as other apps like power point) 


Besides there are also students that cannot afford a computer to look for it.






      SOLUTIONS



   In order to solve these problems it is recommended to give a deep explanation of the concrete website, for example where to find the documents that are published there .


Another solution, is to let people use mobile phones or send the documents to stationeries so everyone can print them without having to use a PC.
