DESCRIBE SOMEONE- MY SOUL SISTER(FREE)

It's time to talk about one of the most important person in my life, my soul sister. I met her three years ago but it seems like we know each other since kindergarten. But this doesn't really matter because since the beginning we have had a great relationship and, of course, is getting stronger and stronger.

She is younger than me so she is studying at high school but this isn't a problem because we chat everyday and we meet every weekend. She is perfect. She knows everything about me. When I have any problem she is always there, at any time. She gives me tips when I can't see things clearly and she support me all the time. We called us as 'Gemes' because we are like twins of different blood. Even sometimes we speak the same at the same time! It's incredible! I'm so lucky to have her in my life and I hope to spend with her as longer as possible.

With her I have learnt the value of friendship. 

THE CAMINO DE SANTIAGO(FREE)

The Camino de Santiago is a pilgrimage route to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain, where- according to the legend- the remains of St. James are buried. Pilgrims have been walking this path for hundreds years, and I decided to embark on the journey with my friend two years ago.

We started in Albacete where we bought all the equipment we'd need. and set off. The walk took over a month and it was amazing. Moreover, we made lot of new friends while we were doing the route.

In short, if you decide to do the walk you should take friends with yourself to make life easier and buy good walking boots. I ended uo with holes in mine- and got terrible blisters as well!

SMARTPHONES-EASSY (OBLIGATORY) Practica 10

Have you ever seen a group of teenagers sitting in a cafe and instead of talking each other they are using their mobile phones? Nowadays it is an habit that many people are carrying on with themselves and although these type of electric devices are a good way to find information and they help us to stay in contact with everybody, sometimes they can develop addition. Smartphones can be our friends but if we use their more than necessary they will become in our enemies. Because of that, I believe that smartphones have a lot of advantages but also disadvantages that we have to think about.

The most important advantages are: they have the ability to communicate with your friends and family by lots of apps such as Twitter, Skype, Facebook, Whatsapp,…; mobile phones are becoming like computers with the added benefit of portability- you can be connected whenever and wherever you want; you can even use their to listen to music, watch movies, play games and also set an alarm for your waking up… Moreover, smartphones are very important in case of emergency. For example, if you had an accident, your mobile pone would help you to contact with someone.

By contrast, there are many drawbacks about these type of devices: they can produce constant interruption- people are always receiving calls, messages and emails and it has become virtually imposible to avoid unneeded interruption; having all your personal information is very convenient but sometimes it is dangerous because there is the possibility that someone else access into your mobile, so it is important to seure you phone; the distration with smartphones could easily cause you to lose control and cause an accident- while it is possible top ut your mobile phone on hands free mode, it is better to wait until your destination and then, pick up it. Finally, another negative aspect is the affect real interaction. There is an addition that causes isolation and this is harmful for someone.

In short, smartphones have a lot of negative and positive aspects. It comes to know how to manage their as better as possible. If we start to think that we have to use smartphones with precaution and avoid be connected all day they can be very useful for us. It is only to be a bit responsable in what are you doing and that is all.

ENDANGERED ANIMALS(FREE)

In my opinion I do not have a strong position of this point but if I have to say something about this topic I could say that I disagree that zoos are a good way if saving endangered species.

Firstly we should ask ourselves this question: Zoos, amusement or prison? Going to a zoo is a very funny experience because you can see a huge breed animal  in only one place, from zebras or tigers to sharks, monkeys or elephants. Even there are certain species that they are endangered such as Bengal tigers. But I think that it is not the best protection option. Zoos does not protect them from extinction; they just conserve zoo animals until they die. And there are many zoos that have their animals in terrible conditions. Imagine the psychological aspect of the animal: staying all its life into four walls! I know that zoos cannot recreate exactly animal’s habitat but when I visit any zoos I always have this urge to unlock the cages of the animals.

From my point of view many animals in the zoos do not need to be in captivity. Worth it having these animals in cages just for entertainment? If we really want to save them we have to regard the idea of protecting their natural habitats.

In zoos there are animals from all over the world, and different places have different temperatures and can affect any animal’s conditions. Most common symptoms are pacing, circling, stress, loneliness and so on.

Captive breeding may allow future generations the chance to experience some of the world’s most endangered animals, but if people can only see these animals in artificial exhibits, like zoos, then what are we achieving?

PROBLEM/SOLUTION(OBLIGATORY) Practica 8

PROBLEM: GLOBAL WARMING

When we talk about the enviroment it is important not to forget that our actions have an impact not only on us, but also on the natural world and other animal’s species. In fact, certain species is now endangered because of our actions. Global warming is one of the worst problems in these days and many of the society do not matter with this: factories does not control the amount of gases they send out, many people do not recycle, ships throw their waste into sea and contaminate water, and people do not use public transport as much as it is necessary.Moreover, we are producing without thinking the effects in nature. Certain countries make threats to stop this problems but, are you seeing these threats? Me not. We need more to cut dow with this as soon as possible.

SOLUTION: GLOBAL WARMING

If we want to finish with this problem, factories should control a bit more what gases are sending in the air; people should be concious that a great way to help the enviroment is to recycle; ship industry needs better waste-control standars and we have to leave parked our own cars and start to use public transport.

Finally, we have to realize that other generations have to arrive here, but if we continue to pollute the planet it will be very difficult for them to live in terrible conditions, wouldn’t it?

TERRORISM- EASSY(OBLIGATORY) Practica 7

We are in the twenty-first century and it seems like we are in a constant and upset time in which using guns and bombs are the best solution to resolve all the problems. It is not only because of Paris’s attempt. Terrorism is a great problem in our global community. It is probably the worst type of crime that ever exits because it only does not kill people, it destroys livehoods, economies and civilized world.

 The question is : what does terrorism want? Money? Power? Publicity? Whatever the answer, the is no reason to develop these attacks in worldwide. For example, India faces the problems of poverty, polution and so on. But the major problem there is terrorism. It is a hazard for mankind.

 Terrorist have no feelings. Terrorist recognize no rules. Although there are many different groups depending on what their objetives are, they all have one thing in common: kill and detroy whatever they can. They believe in the power of bumbs and guns over dialogue. Moreover, all terrorist acts are well-planned and take days even months to make their happen. Most of terrorists are young people but the brain behind them is usually an old man that recruit and washbrain them.

 To sum up, terrorism has become a global threat and needs to be controlled as soon as posible. According to Maulana Sahab, terrorism will persist in one form or another until the ideology of violence is countered with another ideology based on peace. And this is true. We have to start thinking that if we sell weapons to these people we will do attempts whenever they want. The world has to unite in order to stop this. Without terrorism, the Earth would become in a place to live in. No more violence.

FAMILY(FREE)

For me, the person who I most admired is definitely my mother. She has been a great support since I was born. I would define her as a superwoman because she can do many things at the same time. I mean, she is able to work hard every day while she is doing the housework, paying my studies, carrying my sister to her academic and so on.

I think everybody have a hero in their lives, someone who very much admired and you would love to follow his footsteps. Well, my mother is this person for me. She has always been there for me, always trying to provide the best for me even in hard times. She has been and is still my confident, my doctor when I am illness, my psychology when a have any problem, my chef when I do not want to cook, my wise when I cannot see things clearly, when things turn upside down and I do not know what I have to do,and of course, my friend. She does not judge me when I do things badly and I know that she will never defraud me.

Moreover, I bear a striking resemblance to her. Everybody say we are as like as two peas, physical and psychologically. We have upturned nose, slender waist, curly hair and we are small too. Besides, we are painfully shy, cheerful, clumsy, generous and sometimes a bit strict.

Anyway, If I have to choose any person of my family to explain why I admire I will choose my little sweetest mum, who made who am I today and I am so proud of that. Although sometimes we argue about stupid things I love her.

INTRODUCTION

Most people want to live as long as possible in the twenty-first century.But if we wish to live longer one of things we have to do is practising sports, and the majority of the society prefer to stand on the sofa all day. It is called 'physical inactivity' and nowadays is getting more and more popular between people.

GROWING UP(FREE)

In today’s society trying alcohol or cigarettes is a normal part of growing up in modern teenagers. They believe that having a good time with friends is just drinking and smoking and the majority of them are underage.

Deciding whether to drink or smoke is a personal decision that each one have to make but sometimes teenagers suffer pressure from others and although this person did not want to try it they finally accept and start to drink or smoke. But what really matter is that this can develop in a adiction. These people do not know the negative causes of this and when they go out they are only thinking about buying alcohol and cigarettes and going on a drinking binge.

Personally I do not disagree with not to drink or smoke but I believe that nowadays teenagers do not know how to have a good time with friends without smoking and drinking. I mean, most of them lose control because when they drink, they drink more heavily than adults.

Teenagers sometimes drink because they think alcohol makes it easier to meet other people, relaxes their social inhibitions and helps them have more fun. But for a few, drinking in adolescence can lead to immediate harm and more chronic problems ore ven adiction. For some teenagers, alcohol use can be a sign of social mental health problems.

Finally, in order to drink or smoke safetly could be: eat well before you leave home because a full stomach slows the absorption of alcohol, don’t get into a car with a driver who has been drinking, don’t leave drinks unattended and don’t accept a drink from a stranger and decide on a drink limit and stick to it.
