Use of Passive
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.
In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know, however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the following example shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone (e.g. You have made a mistake.).
Form of Passive
Subject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)
Example: A letter was written.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

Megalopolis (shenzhen)
The meaning of Megalopolis: an extensive metropolitan area or a long chain of continuous metropolitan areas.I was surprised by this reading in our text book.The reading was about the city of shenzhen near Hong Kong. For a moment I was thinking of my home town, Bonao, with its growing population and new enterprises that are being set recently. Maybe if we were more patriotic and our worthiest people invest here instead of abroad,Bonao would be another shenzhen.
How to make comparisons in English
There are some rules to help you make comparisons in English.
1 If the adjective (describing word) is one syllable, you can add -er.
For example, small – smaller; big – bigger; nice – nicer.
2 If the adjective has two syllables, but ends in -y, you can change the end to -ier.
For example, lucky – luckier; happy – happier.
3 With other English adjectives of two syllables and more, you can't change their endings. Instead, you should use more + adjective.
For example, handsome – more handsome; beautiful – more beautiful and so on.
4 When you compare two things, use 'than'.
"She's younger than me."
"This exercise is more difficult than the last one."
5 When you want to say something is similar, use 'as – as'.
For example, "She's as tall as her brother" or "It's as nice today as it was yesterday."
6 When you want to say one thing is less than another, you can either use 'less than' or 'not as – as'.
For example, "This program is less interesting than I thought" or "This program is not as interesting as I thought."
7 Remember that some adjectives are irregular and change form when you make comparisons.
For example, good – better; bad – worse; far – further.

Inmigration to the USA
Immigration to the United States has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States. The economic, social, and political aspects of immigration have caused controversy regarding ethnicity, economic benefits, jobs for non-immigrants, settlement patterns, impact on upward social mobility, crime, and voting behavior. As of 2006, the United States accepts more legal immigrants as permanent residents than all other countries in the world combined. Since the removal of ethnic quotas in immigration in 1965,the number of first- generation immigrants living in the United States has quadrupled, from 9.6 million in 1970 to about 38 million in 2007. 1,046,539 persons were naturalized as U.S. citizens in 2008. The leading emigrating countries to the United States were Mexico, India, the Philippines, and China. Nearly 14 million immigrants came to the United States from 2000 to 2010.
James Bond

Additionally, Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny.

A SONG THAT I WROTE AND I WANT TO SHARE
THE LYRICS
the time has come
to see you face to face
I don't know if i can look into your eyes
and tell you what i feel
I don't know what to say
if I were standing front of you
tearing down my convictions
would I offend you or kiss you
trembling, grumbling some words
only you understand
hesitating I'm getting close to your lips
and you re looking daggers at me
the time has come to see my pain back
my pain has your face
my pain has your body
your wonderful smile
my pain has your tender voice
your unique way of kissing
and also your way o lying
as you're getting close to me
I'm dying again
I'm in love again
(repeat all)

About my best friend Jesus
Everybody hear about Jesuchrist. He is son of God , the all powerful and the best friend that you can have. When He was heer in the world he did a lot of miracles : resurrection of dead, healing for the sick and feeding for a lot of people.
In the BIBLE He say us many wise abvices.They help us to reflect on our daily life.
The thing I like best from him is his mercy and his loyalty. He loves me though sometime i forget him.
He died for me and for you at the cross. for that reason there is no greater love than this.
My pets
I have two pretty birds as pets. They are white-and-Grey pigeons. Their home is a shady tree in the garden where they are free to fly from branch to branch. Yet they are safe from the cat as the whole tree is inside a wire enclosure. I have nailed a wooden box on the tree. This is their 'nest' where they sleep at night and where they find shelter whenever it rains.

But there is something I don't like from her, She likes to talk all the time on her cell phone, specially when We are sleeping late at night.

La Victoria is one of the most popular shopping store in our town. People love to go there because They have big choice of products, clothes, shoes and all you need to wear, so They have always been fashionable.
This shopping store is very popular because They are informative and appealing to young people.
Other thing I really like from La Victoria is the prices, are generally more affordable!!

Dear Rossy
Last summer, We spent our vacation in the south of our country . We were very excited . We spent two weeks in Azua. Of course, We got some delicious fruits and typical food of the south and goat with coconut there. We went to the river several times. My family and Me visited a christian church on the weekends. The church is called "Iglesia De Dios de la Profecia". We didn't have time to visit any other cities of the province. However , We went to my father's farm and we rode a horse. Everything was great. It's impossible to say what was the best thing about the trip!!
See you soon;

Unit:5 Get Passive Vs Be Passive
The get-passive
The verb get is sometimes used as an auxiliary in place of be in passive sentences. The verb string for a sentence like:
My bicycle got stolen is past + get + en + steal
Compare
My bicycle was stolen with past + be + en + steal
The get-passive is normally fairly informal and more likely to occur in casual conversation and informal sorts of writing than in formal writing. It is often used in agentless passives.
Like be, get also functions as a linking verb. You can distinguish sentences with get as linking verb from sentences with get-passives by considering the verb string.
Note that this sentence has an active counterpart:
The long hike tired Sam out.
Compare with get as linking verb:
Note that this sentence can also be paraphrased by another sentence with a linking verb:
Sam became tired.The get-passive
