ANY BROKEN-DOWN OR WORN-OUT ITEMS ?

COMMENT 20

Nowadays English is one of the most important language in the world . For this reason it is important that children learn to speak it and understand it since they are young . There are some bilingual schools and some pros and cons of studying there . 

On the one hand if you study in a bilingual school , you will learn faster the language . In the future you will have more chances to find a good job and work in the field you like . Moreover , you will have more chances to travel a lot too . 

On the other hand in a school class there are children with different levels , so this causes that there is an academic difference and some students have difficulties to learn in this kind of schools.
Moreover , almost all bilingual schools are so expensive and sometimes students don´t have enough money to pay them .

In conclusion I think that learning English and other languages is so important to get a good job in the future .

WHAT REALYY MATTERS IN LIFE .

COMMENT 19

Hundreds of thousands of elderly people are lonely in life and cut off from society in this country , specially people over the age of 75 . 

A lot of people say that they stay without speaking to a friend , neighbour or family member for a long time . They can feel isolated for several reasons like getting older , leaving the workplace or deaths of friends . This can cause them depression or health problems .

But not only old people can feel this , also the young people . They can feel isolated because they don´t have friends , they change school or places several times ... Loneliness can affect anyone , of any age . There are ways for older people to feel themselves useful like smiling or inviting friends for a tea .

In my opinion , we should pay more attention to old people , so they don´t feel lonely .

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

COMMENT 18

Nowadays , I think that in Spain people don´t use many alternative therapies , but some people use them to treat mild illnesses .

On the one hand , alternative therapies are good because you can use them to treat a mild illness instead of using traditional medicines . In fact , apitherapy is a remedy that has been used in many other countries for centuries which consists of using the power of bee sting to treat serious illnesses. 

On the other hand , not all the therapies are good . Sometimes they don´t give you a good result in your health . They can become dangerous too . If you are allergic to any of the things that are used in this type of therapies , you will die .

In my opinion alternative therapies can be good but you need to be sure before carrying them out because they can become dangerous too .

DESCRIBING A LOCAL DISH

WRO10

I live in Andalucía , Spain and we have lots of delicious local food , but the most popular dish is the Spanish potato omelette , which you can find in all Spanish restaurants .

The potato is originally from South America and then was known by the Spanish people . The potato omelette is a simple dish to cook , which consists of potatoes and alive oil virgin extra . To cook this dish you only need eggs , salt , olive oil , potatoes and if you want , you can add onion .
The only thing you have to do is fry the potatoes in oil and mix them with the eggs and the onion .

You can eat it cold or hot , with or without onion and very or little cooked . People like eating it in bread too . If you want to eat it , you will find it in the supermarket , but if  I could , I would make it myself because the taste and the texture is different when you make it yourself .
You can eat potato omelette in other countries , but unless they are made in Spain , they will not be so delicious , so if you want to try the authentic potato omelette , come to Spain !! .

AN OPINION ESSAY

WRO09

Nowadays when students finish their studies at school they go to university , but could they do three months ´ work experience ?

On the one hand , it could be a good idea because almost all students don´t know what their works will be like about they have already study . Moreover this experience can favor students giving them more knowledge and therefore be more prepared .

On the other hand , although that can be a good idea , students would lose three months of their careers years , so will be more long .

In conclusion I agree with this because I think that students would be more prepared to the work experience .

BE WATER , MY FRIEND !!

COMMENT 15

Water is essential in our life and we need it to survive , but not only us , the animals and the plants need it too . For that reason is important that we take care of our environment to reduce the plastic bottles and plastic in general .

It is probably difficult to get rid of plastic bottles because we all use them all the time , but if you want you will do it . More and more people drink in water bottles and then they throw them away , so this is for what we are contributing to create trash on the street and in the environment .

On the other hand , plastic can be dangerous to humans and animals because plastic fibres found in tap water around the world and tests show that billions of people are drinking water contaminated by plastic particles . And if animals eat plastic they will die .

I think if people don´t care about that , we could not have any possibility to change the world , and save it !! .

GOOD HANDWRITING MAY BE THE CLUE TO SUCCESS !!!

COMMENT 14

Technologies are very present in our life because a lot of people have them and use them to work , but is handwriting better than keyboard ? .

In United States students take notes with a keyboard and they think that it is better for them because it is easier and faster to learn to write .

On the other hand writing with a pen is still important for students because they can develop their skills and with piece of paper you can write anywhere . When you write by hand you can make mistakes that sometimes are more difficult to happend than when you write with a keyboard , when you only need to press a key .

In my opinion it´s okay that you can write with keyboard but we should´t forget the pen.

SCREEN OVERUSE , POSSIBLE CAUSE OF DIGITAL EYE STRAIN

Comment  13

Every day lots of people use technologies like mobiles phones or computers because almost all of us have them , but computers can damage our eyes , because they have blue light that can affect it .
Moreover when you spend a lot of time watching a screen , your eyes blink less than normal and looking at a computer for a long time can also give you health problems . 
On the other hand , computers are used usually for work or having a good time and I think that sometimes it´s difficult to have a break .

NO MEAT ON MONDAYS!!!", CLAIM ACTIVIST IN FRANCE

Comment 12

In France more and more people want to change the way of eating . They want to be flexitarian , cutting their animal intake for health , animal welfare and reducing the impact on the planet . 

Flexitarianism is like being vegetarian , but flexible , so they don´t eat either meat or fish but sometimes they eat some steak when they feel the urge .

For that a lot of French butchers ask for police protection because they could lose their jobs. Moreover the shops have been sprinkled with fake blood and covered with graffiti.

In my opinion , it could be a good idea to protect the environment but on the other hand the butchers and fishmongers could lose their jobs .
