Seven stories

When I read the title "seven stories of mistery and horror" I saw the first story. I thought many things frightful but when I started to read I was disappointed because the stories  were good but I hoped that it had more fear. I liked the first story "The pit and the pendulum" because it was ral and it moved toward the body and I thought it was going to be cut into two parts.
The other stories I didn't like the end as "the facts in the case of Mr Valdemar" because when the scientist ended the hypnotism Mr Valdemar was alive although the end os "the masque of the read death" was interesting because the prince ded and ear beath was the ruler after.

the social problem Audiopal

During the  last three decades Colombia has been submitted to many international tests assesing the quality of education, including those known as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS and LIECE in all these test the result have been negative.The situation is more serious when you consider that there is no significant improvement from 1996 when we first introduced in TIMSS and 2012 last made PISA assesments.

Why are so low results in all these test and our owm internal assessments-now known as SABER, ICFES historically called evidence?The answer is simple; they are very low because theses test asess aspects that Colombia isn't working yet in the vast majority of educational institutions.

as PISA test assess critical reading, problem solving and how young people use scientific concepts in their daily lives.In Colombia rather than develp essential communication skills for the such as read, write or develop coherent oral discourses, we continue the emphasis on things so impertinent for children as grammar and spelling.It is absurd that the Colombian education continues dedicated to supply information which most students easily found on the net. It is incomprehensible that we use so long to teach algorithms that today can do in seconds with the help of a calculator. It is unfortunate that we continue dedicated to remenbering the chemical symbols that best serve to fill solving crossword puzzles and tests chemistry teachers.
