As it has been shown in cartoons and in several scientific researches the irresponsible use of cell phones while driving puts not only the driver's life at risk, but somebody else's. Many times, these imprudent drivers had only faced a light punishment, even in occasions were fatal accidents had occurred. This is why it is necessary the creation and implementation of a bill to regulate the use of cell phones on the road. In this way, the existence of such a firm law will impose specific punishments to negligent drivers; and as a consequence, many driving accidents would be avoided.

Entry #8 - Immigration
European Immigration after World War II
After World War II, the social conditions in the countries involved in the war were devastation, so many people decided to migrate to other countries. Argentina, as many countries of America, received an innumerable number of immigrants from countries such as Italy and Spain. These people were looking for a new beginning and a personal growth which could not be achieved in their native country as a consequence of the war. With themselves, the immigrants brought their customs and new ways of working and doing things. In this way, the countries which received immigrants began to grow and develop economic and socially. Clearly, immigrants managed to start over in a new country and , at the same time, they produce the improvement and development of social and economic conditions of those countries.

Entry #7
My paragraph
In my country, any person who is interested in tourism and sightseeing has a variety of cities to visit on holidays. For those who are interested in skiing or snowboarding on the mountains should visit the south of Argentina or the city of Mendoza. For those who want a warmer and less extreme holiday, their best option is to spend some weeks at the beach sunbathing. For the person who wants to be in direct contact with nature, should visit the city of Córdoba or Misiones, where he can see the waterfalls. This summary of cities to visit in Argentina shows that this country has a wide diversity of places to go on holiday.
Partner's Topic and Concluding Sentences
In my country there are many amazing places where tourists can do their favourite sport or just spend the time. For those who are interested in skiing or snowboarding on the mountains should visit the south of Argentina or the city of Mendoza. For those who want a warmer and less extreme holiday, their best option is to spend some weeks at the beach sunbathing. For the person who wants to be in direct contact with nature, should visit the city of Córdoba or Misiones, where he can see the waterfalls. This brief summary of the cities in Argentina is a useful tool for tourist to choose where they want to go to spend the time and to do whatever they like most.
Metacognitive Analysis
I believe that both paragraphs convey the same meaning and idea. However, the first topic sentence has a broader topic, while the second one is more specific. All the same, both topic sentences bear the same topic: what tourist can do in Argentina while they are on holiday. As regards the concluding sentences, I think that both are appropiete, however, the first one is more redundant, so I believe that the second concluding sentence is more suitable.
