**Object Important (Unit 3)**

The object that is important in my family is a vanity table, belongs to my grandmother (dad's mom), my grandfather bought it. I don't know exactly how old it is; but hundred years, I can say yes. Only my grandmother is 94 years. It's important to me, because every time that I see it, I have good memories of my grandparents. It's part of my heritage.


 * Questions "The picture of Dorian Gray"**

*** Have you read this book?** Yes *** Dorian makes a wish by saying: "I wish that I could always be young. I wish that picture could grow old instead of me". Would you make the same wish as Dorian? Why?** It's a good question, I think that the idea of immortality is tempting but I think has complications and the people that I want, not would remain young forever like me. In my opinion, WE SHOULD AGE MORE SLOWLY, __I would wish a slower aging,__ or perhaps WE COULD get old very healthy, just like young.

**Short Story**

As she was looking at the photograph, she was certain she saw the eyes move.

So she approached to the photograph, at that moment the person in the photo smiled to her.

So every night, she visit the photo, and looked it for hours, but the picture didn't move again. She stayed enchanted, perhaps her life will can't be the same.
