DO WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO DO(FREE)

From 6 to 15 years old I have been practising swimming and dancing. I really loved them because with swimming I could relax when I was nervous or depressed with something or somebody. I think that swimming is a perfect way to loose yourself and needs to be in someone’s lifestyle because it has lots of benefits for your body especially if you have bone problems and because of that I started to swim. I liked all swimming styles but favourite was backstroke.

Moreover, while I was swimming I was dancing too. I went to an academy and I used to dance all kind of music: disco dance, flamenco dance, hip-hop, zumba,..., and I believe it has been the best option I have made in life because I LOVE dancing. For me dancing goes beyond being simply movements at the beat of music. It helped me a lot, when life went down and I didn’t know how to cope. And though I finished up since 3 years I usually dancing with my friends when we go clubbing.

For the other hand, I have never tried any dangerous sports. I am a very fearful person and the most I’ve done is sea diving  and that is all so I prefer watching them on TV and not to take risks.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HIT THE JACKPOT?(FREE)

I think that winning the lottery is like a dream, because you have to be very lucky but if one day lucky came to me and I won the jackpot and do not know exactly what I would do.

I could imagine myself, at the first time, bursting into tears with all my family and celebrating it with champagne and a big dinner. I would not like to go public. 

Next day, I suppose I would start to meditate about what to do with the prize. At first, I would sell my flat and build a house in the countryside near my grandparents because they were as a parents for me when I was a little girl and I would like to stay with them as much near as possible. After that, I would travel around the world. I know everybody say that but it is the truth! Imagine: Paris, Rome, New York, Bora Bora and so on.

And then, I would distribute the money in three parts: I would save 50%, spend 30% and 20% it would go to charities in the third world, who need money much more than I.

But apart from all of this, apart from all this luxury life, from my viewpoint winning the lottery is not the answer to all my problems. It could resolve more of them especially in terms economics. Lottery carries along money, new clothes, journeys, cars and so on. But what lottery can not have is health and love. And this it is more important to have in your life than winning a lottery ticket.

LIVING IN THE CITY VS LIVING IN THE COUNTRY(OBLIGATORY) Practica 4

Living in the countryside is very different than living in the city.

There are some reasons that people prefer to live in the countryside such as peace and quite, less trouble, privacy, beautiful scenery, fresh smelling air, no nosy neighbours,... However, living in the city has also positive aspects like for example job opportunities, access to services, education, communication,...

For those people who prefer city than country believe that it has a lot of advantages. Firstly, there are a lot of working places in the city so it will be easier to find a job there than in the countryside. Secondly, you can buy whatever you need in a big city. In opposite, people who live in the country don't have wide choice of shops or services. Another positive aspect of city life is that transport is very accesible. Public transport, by way of subways, taxis, trains and so on, make someone's life more comfortable. Moreover, there a lot of activites to do in the city. There are theaters, cinemas, museums, zoos, restaurants and sporting events.

For the other hand, village has clean air and the enviroment is very beautiful. It has not lot of vehicles, so roads are less dangerous than roads in cities. Besides, in rural areas you are left alone to do whatever you want so there is a great libertarian streak. And in terms of free time and entertainment, the activities you can do in the country consist of boating, riding, cycling,..

To sum up, living in different atmosphere could affect in your life. So, what do you prefer? Big metropolis or big yard? Culture or nature?

PARIS(FREE)

If I had to spend my holidays in somewhere I would defenilty choose Paris. I know it is a tipical destination for many people but I think it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It is called ‘the city of the lights’ and I am sure that people who really love this city decide to go back year after year, to revisit favourite sites, museums, streets, restaurant and so on.

If you want to go there, the best way is to catch a plane and when you are in the city you will find some great places of interest to keep you entertained. You have to visit the city from different perspectives. I mean, you have to visit it by boat, bus, train or on foot and you can discover the iconic and historic sights and landmarks that makes Paris so famous.

Apart from that, in terms of iconic monuments the most famous are for example the Arc of Triomphe.Not only is this one of the most photographed buildings in Paris, but it is one of the most significant in terms of Paris’ social history. Another one is Notre Dame Cathedral and if you climb the two towers you will see a breathtaking scenery of central Paris. And the most famous building is of course The Eiffel Tower, the symbol of Paris which everybody knows.

To end, If you want to go to Paris you have to make a stop at Disneyland. It will be you best decisión ever. I suggest spending one or two days to visit it. I think it is a perfect way to stay with your friends or family and you will become a child again.

It has become clear that the best place in the world is Paris so you must go there al least one in your life.

OPINION PARAGRAPH- Dogs can't be in parks.(OBLIGATORY) Practica 3

Recently there are more and more people that would like to ban the entry of dogs in parks because they think they are a nuisance for them. From my point of view I totally disagree with this. Like any person, dogs must have the oportunity of running, jumping and playing with other dogs in a own atmosphere for them. But it is true that if you want to take your dog in any park you should have a control over your pet. I mean, you have to pick up after your dog or be careful that it does not bother anyone. There are not much cities with places in which a dog can stay in there, so parks is possibly the best option for them. And of course, it could be a terrific oportunity for children, because they can play with them while they are learning to respect and to share. Because, after all, dogs are human’s best friend.

GIANT'S CAUSEWAY-Description (FREE)

The Giant’s Causeway is one of the most popular destination in the UK. It is located in Northerm Ireland and it was created 60 million years ago when a field of lava cooled and formed lots of blocks. 

This is the scientific description of the landscape but there is a legend of this formation. According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet.

As we can see, most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are some with five or four sides.

 The lanscape makes someone feel peaceful and lively and it is a perfect destination for seeing the sunrise.

Childhood(FREE)

Who does not remember this stage? Everybody have different opinion of their childhood; some of them have bad memories and others simply wish to go back and stay there forever. From my point of view I think it is an awsome and a very important part in someone’s life.

I passed the first four years at my grandparent’s house because my parents worked really early, so that my grandmother became in a mother for me. For the other hand, my grandfather was a fantastic support.

When I was a little girl I used to think that animals could talk, I believed that each star in the sky were people who did not like to live in the Earth and I wished to be a Disney princess.

Recently I read that the type of emotional support that a child receives during the first three and a half years has an effect on education, social life and romantic relationships even 20 or 30 years later.

What do you think of this? Do you think that our childhood could have had an impact on us?

In my opinion I agree with this. I love waching videos of me when I was young and remember those moments. No homework. No stress. No exams. No problems in life. So I am going to carry my childhood forever, because if you carry it with you, you never become older.
