Reflexive pronouns are those pronouns that are used when the action of the verb falls on the subject of the sentence
itself. In addition, they are also often used when you want to emphasize that the subject has carried out the action
and not another person.

Héctor Garibay:
The Bolivian taxi driver who won the Mexico City marathon with record time

Garibay won an event that in recent years has been dominated by Kenyan athletes, setting an all-time record for that
competition: two hours, eight minutes.
When he crossed the finish line of the Mexico City marathon, Bolivian Héctor Garibay jumped for joy. It was not for
less. He had just set a new record for the event: three minutes faster than the one he had set in 2018. The new mark
is 2:08:22.
Garibay is one of the few to win an event that has been dominated by Kenyan athletes since 2018 - with the exception
of 2021, in which Mexican Darío Castro won - and is expected to be one of the surprises at the Paris Olympics. which
will be held in 2024.
But Garibay’s rise to being one of the best long-distance athletes in the world has not been easy.
Born in Oruro, the man worked as a taxi driver to finance his career due to what he called “lack of support” from
sponsors.
Much of his funding has come from the Oruro government (which he thanked during his victory in Mexico for
providing the plane tickets) and from his participation in events such as the marathon he just won, which awards
about US$30,500 to the winner. .
“I came to Mexico for the victory because I knew that due to the height, it was going to be difficult for the other
participants,” said the marathoner after finishing the competition in Mexico City.
Despite having set a record time in Mexico, Garibay’s fastest time was achieved in February in Seville.
His time of 2:07:44 earned him a place at both the 2023 World Athletics Championships and the Paris Olympics in
2024.
This, in turn, gave him national recognition and earned him the support of the Bolivian government with two
scholarships from the Bolivian Olympic Committee.
And although the time in Mexico is greater than that recorded in Seville, we must remember that the Mexico City
Marathon takes place at 2,240 meters above sea level.
“For me, it’s a little easier because I come from a higher height, so my goal was always to fight for the first places,”
Garibay said after the race in Mexico.

5. How to write an essay?

THE ESSAY
An essay is a coherent prose piece of writing, generally not long, that accurately states the personal and subjective
interpretation of any topic, without delving into it, just giving a point of view.

The essay is a way of communicating ideas about a question, concept, concern, interpretation, reflection or analysis,
which must be supported with valid arguments.

Characteristics of an essay

• Its short length, the development of the essays is of variable length, its length is rooted exclusively in the
decisions of the author, the institution or the complexity of the topic discussed.

• It is subjective and personal, although it is based on the rigor of the veracity of the information.

• Essays must be about specific topics, in most cases an essay is a proposal, something new that seeks to
contribute fresh thoughts to a topic.

• Essays are characterized by being a type of text in which one seeks to interpret, decipher and/or analyze
topics from different points of view.

• The development of our arguments doesn’t adhere to a pre-established structure, unless the essay is a
request from an organization or something of that nature.

• Some of the didactic genres to which the essay is usually related are, for example: The speech, the dissertation,
the press articles, the miscellany and the epistle.

• The style of the essays is free, being able to develop them as the author sees fit, in any case, the nature must
be understandable and rooted in good spelling and grammar.

• Any topic is valid for writing an essay. It is often written for academic purposes or to add knowledge in a
specific area of knowledge.

• Essays are usually judged according to three criteria: (1) Relevant and well-researched content / (2) An
appropriate and well-organized argument. (3) The correct use of language.

• The essay is a modern genre; Your language must be direct, but without losing elegance. In other words, the
content of the essay requires precise information and rejects superficial detail.

PARTS OF AN ESSAY
The essay is free writing, however, it must have the following classic structure:

• Introduction

The introduction seeks to draw the reader’s attention; it is the part in which a presentation is made about the
topic, dealing with topics such as background or aspects that encouraged the development of the essay. A
relationship must always be created between this background and what will be the general theme of the text.

• Development

The development becomes the body of the essay, it is the space in which the ideas and foundations of the
written work are indicated. It is essential that the structure of development be organized, following a previously
stipulated sequence, so that the information expressed is precisely understood.

• Conclusions

The conclusions section specifically points out the analyzes and final results of the work. The conclusions
indicate how the written work was developed, the ideas and general thoughts that arise from it. It should be
noted that questions can also be indicated that leave an opening for new work on similar topics.

• Bibliography

The last section present in the structure of the essays is the bibliography, at this point all the sources, quotes
or authors on which the work was based at a certain point are indicated.

STEPS TO WRITE AN ESSAY

• Select a topic (That attracts both the reader and the essayist)

There is nothing worse than writing about a topic that is boring, of little relevance, or that you are not passionate
about at all; Choosing a topic that interests you ensures that the essay is written with motivation and not out of
obligation. Make a list of the main, secondary or complementary ideas, even related topics.

• Investigate (Deep Study Reading)

For a research, essay or writing to be reliable, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth reading of all the existing
sources associated with the same topic. It is not necessary the quantity but the quality present in the content
of the source; remember to include highlighted ideas in a draft.

58 58
 ÁREA: LENGUA EXTRANJERA

• Start a draft (Includes all notes)

The draft allows the essayist to include all incoherent or irrelevant thoughts, even making spelling mistakes;
That is, the draft is the place where you can rewrite and/or make mistakes over and over again. The normal
thing is that several successive drafts are required, it is not surprising that it is necessary to make major
corrections, modifications of the order, deletions or extensions.

• Write your point of view (your own words)

Once most of the research has been addressed, in the draft you can write small paragraphs with your own ideas,
thoughts, conclusions, doubts, opinions, questions, events, even criticisms of other authors’ investigations.
Having two or three clear reasons structures the basis of a good essay.

The ideas derived from different research sources can be very important to know/write about a topic; However,
in an essay the essayist’s own thoughts are more relevant to illustrate, contrast, compare or criticize the ideas
of other authors.

• Start the analysis (Optional: Synthetic scheme)

Read the ideas expressed in the draft, if necessary, make a synthetic outline ordering the main and
complementary points of the topic: 1. Theme – 2. Subtopic – 3. Detail – 4. Sub-detail. With this analysis, the
thoughts that must be expressed in the final writing of the essay are arranged.

• Create the structure of the essay

It is still in the draft, but this time the structure of the essay begins with the analysis and ideas already obtained
in the previous point.

• Review the draft (Penultimate step)

Read, reread, and reread the ideas expressed in the draft. Make the necessary corrections, eliminate what is
unnecessary, organize the structure, start writing on another draft as if it were the final writing. Read again and
make any final touches, revisions or modifications.

• Final essay writing

Finally, the final writing of the document begins. Transfer the draft to the final essay. As a final recommendation:
Make sure that each paragraph supports your argument, and that all your ideas are clearly stated; Check very
carefully that there are no grammatical errors or bad spelling.
