1. Would you like to do any of the jobs in exercise A? Why  or why not?
No, because I do not drive so fast and I like tigers but by far away. It could not be a fireman hate the heat.

2. What other jobs are dangerous? why?
Construction worker
Many accidents happen at construction sites. Workers often do their jobs under giant steel beams or on the uneven surfaces high above the ground. The most common cause of death among construction workers is falling. Explosions, electric shocks, loud noises, high and low temperature, solvents, smoke, asbestos and incorrect lighting can also be dangerous to construction workers.


No 9: Land mine remover
De-mining, or mine clearance, is the process of removing land or sea mines from an area. Since manual mine clearance is much more effective than any automated method, human workers are still used to do the dangerous work of deactivating the world’s land mines.



No 8: Fisherman
Working in the fishing industry is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. Fishermen have to work long hours every day, sometimes in darkness, without time for breaks. The heavy equipment used to catch fish is rife with potential for accidents. And though GPS technology helps to direct fishing boats, but in bad weather conditions and fatal accidents still happen.
 

3. Why are people attracted to dangerous jobs?
The experiences, the need and adrenaline.

Bullet- point list of advice for a coach to give to athlete:

1. Play for the love of the game and only the love of the game.
2. If all your friends are athletes, you are shallow.
3.A real athlete never misses a game or a practice for a dance, a concert or Senior Skip Day.
4. Humility is a virtue. False humility makes you a bore.
5.Your coach doesn’t have it in for you. Repeat, your coach doesn’t have it in for you.
6.A good captain will lead his team to a Super Bowl title. A great one will take a stand against hazing.
7. It’s never too late to change.
8.The size of your nose, biceps or breasts is inconsequential to anybody who truly cares about you.

    -My favorite art piece -

    For starters my artist favorite is Vincent van Gogh. Each of his works is beautiful. His works convey feelings so deep and beautiful. Vincent van Gogh is considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, although he remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life. Although he wasn't famous during his lifetime, today he is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of his time. Many of his paintings sell for millions of dollars today. There are over 800 surviving oil paintings as well as over a thousand water colors and sketches of his work. In 1889 van Gogh committed himself to a mental hospital. He could barely take care of himself. He still continued to paint and painted one of his most famous paintings Starry Night

    Many of his paintings during this time featured cypress trees and lots of swirling colors. You can see the painting Starry Night at the New York Museum of Modern Art.  "Starry Night" is simply aesthetically fulfilling, and, ironically, the contrasts are what makes it so. Many thinkers in the history of aesthetics associated beauty in visual arts and our seeing of it, with the contrasts - a painting full of contrasts will catch our eye, will drawn as in, and make us look at it closely, make us investigate it in more detail, because our brain sees that there is a lot happening there, that it's more complicated and needs more attention.Is my favorite painting makes me see the sky otherwise.

    Sculptures at my university
    The sculpture "Lorenzo Zambrano" is my favorite in my university. The sculpture "Canto a la Luz" of Jorge Elizondo will remind future generations of the support for education and dedication the engineer Lorenzo H. Zambrano gave the Tecnológico de Monterrey in the 15 years he was head of the Council. A work of the engineer Zambrano as leader of the institution, which he said, will last forever, as the sculpture "Song of light" by Jorge Elizondo, located opposite the Jardin de las Carreras and was inaugurad Campus Monterrey in his honor. The sculpture is very beautiful and is in a clearing in college. As part of the tribute, which was carried out under a persistent rain, a plaque was also unveiled in honor of engineer students Zambrano and they performed the song "Light" author Marcial Alejandro, which visibly shook the honoree.
