Formal Writing #2 -Paz

Hay mucha violencia en el mundo. Ciencias gentes morir todos las días porque escuchan con ganas de vivir. Por ejemplo, el país de Colombia. Son guerrillas destruyendo comunidades rápidamente. Pero, despistar los crimines y la violencia su comita; hay esperanza. Nosotros podemos archivar paz y amor en la universa que empezamos hoy. Es imposible que no tener paz porque cuando no hay amor. Peinso que todas las personas en el mundo deben respetar otros personas. No saludable a tiene mucha violencia porque muchas gentes murieron todos los dias.
