GRAFFITI 14/12/18 12:16 pm As I said the other day, there are many types of art. Graffiti is also one of them. Graffiti is a type of art that is focus on the street art section. Graffiti artist draw in street walls and others abstract and non-abstract paintings Many people are against them for many reasons. One of the reasons is that they draw in public spaces. In that aspect, I think that if an artist want to draw in a public wall, he should ask for it instead of painting it without permission. Another reasons is that some people say their drawings are awful. I don't think in the same way this time; graffiti is a different type of art that maybe don't have many fans, however, there are many drawings that are amazing. In the village next to mine, there are many graffitis in some walls that are really amazing and when I go there by car, I always like to see them. So, I think people should stop judging what other people likes to.  12:21 pm

STYLE 13/12/18 1 . Study this paragraph and underline any examples of poor style. Informal: How to make people work harder is a topic that lots of people have  written about in the last few years. There are lots of different theories etc and I think some of them are ok. When we think about this we should remember the old Chinese proverb, that you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. So how do we increase production? It’s quite a complex subject but I’ll just talk about a couple of ideas. Formal: How to make people harder is a topic which many people have written about in the last 2 years. There are many different theories that some people believe that are fine. So, we should think about how to increase production; it is a difficult subject to talk about but we could analyze some ideas.  We cannot introduce the Chinese quote due to is too informal.  2 . (3 practice) In following sentences, underline examples of bad style and...

UNITY AND COHERENCE 13/12/18 1 . Read the following paragraph and complete the table. La Ferrera (1997) has researched the life cycle of new business . She found that they have an average life of only 4.7 years . This is due to two main reasons; one economic and one social . The former appears to be a lack of capital, the latter a failure to carry out sufficient market research. La Ferrera considers that together these account for approximately 70 per cent of business failures. 2 . In the following paragraph, insert suitable reference words from the box below in the gaps (more words than gaps). he / he / his / his / his / it / them / they / this a- He  b- his c- His d- It e- His f- He g- They h- This

Inventor: Wallace Carothers Company: DuPont Corporation (USA) Carothers' position: Director of research centre Carothers' background: Chemistry student, specializing in polymers (molecules composed of long chains of atoms) Properties: Strong but fine synthetic fibre Patented: 1935 Mass produced: 1939 Applications: Stockings, toothbrushes, parachutes, fishing lines, surgical thread The nylon was invented by Wallace Carothers.

It was patented in 1935 and produced massively in 1939. This material is used...

FIRST AID AND MEDICAL HELP SHOULD BE FREE 13/12/18 9:50 am In some countries, medical services are not allowed to the ones that do not live in their country but first aid. In my opinion, no medial help should be forbidden to a person that really needs it, no matter what nationality they have, all of us have the same rights in all they countries without looking at the law, obviously. Now, talking about our country, there are many surgeries that if you want to heal from a sickness, you will have to pay. I find this disgusting, all the surgeries should be free for everyone that really needs them; obviously, esthetic surgeries are not necessary and I think they should be being paid for it. 10:00 am

ARE ELECTRIC VEHICLES A SOLUTION TO GLOBAL POLLUTION? 12/12/18 10:42 pm Global Pollution is known as one of the biggest problems that this worlds has. There are many things that provoke it; such as cars, factories, etc. However, the fact that I am going to talk about today is if electric vehicles are a solution to this problem. Of course that cars are a big problem to global pollution, but the fact is that there are many years left until we all can use electric vehicles due to the expensive prize of them. Another thing we can do is to use public transport due to many of them are made for not hurt he environment. So, electric vehicles should be a solution to reduce global pollution; however, they should be cheaper. 10:52 pm

Are music and cinema art? 11/12/18 12:52 pm There are many types of art in this world. Obviously, when we say the word 'art' the first thing that comes to our mind is a paint. However, there are many types of art. Today, I am going to talk about music and cinema. Music is obviously a type of art. The way that some singers sing and write lyrics is something that not everybody is able to do. The same happens with cinema; not everyone knows how to direct a film and how to put all the types of scenarios to create an unreal worlds that actually seems very real. I think this is amazing and is consider art. So, we should give some attention to all the types of art because they deserve to be known as it. 1:00 pm

SHOULD PARENTS BE SOFT ON THEIR CHILDREN? 10/12/18 11:07 am Nowadays' parents are known to be softer than in the past with their children. I think this is a fact that is involved of the social situation; I mean, in the past, parents were more rude with their children due to some factors that nowadays do not exists. However, I think that parents should be a less softer due to raising their children in a spoilt way. Some children nowadays do whatever they want; in the past, most children didn't spoke improperly to everyone that said anything against him.  Nowadays children are more spoilt and most parents let them have it all. I think that many things of the traditional raising should be use by actual parents due to improve their children's behavior. Today's society is full of things that could influence badly on children and teach bad habits on them, so we should raise them in a healthy way so they can be happier and not behave in a spoilt way. 11:17 am

BIRTHDAYS 9/12/18 11:25 am Today I am going to talk about birthdays due to it is mine today. Birthdays are a famous celebration that all of us have and like to spend with our family and friends. You are given presents and wishes during all day. Also, is a day that no matter how sad you are, your family and friends are going to make it happier for you. Today, I am 18; maybe it is not the best year for me but I know that today is going to be amazing thank you to my friends and my family. I usually have meal with my mother's family and then eat the cake. Today I am not going to meet my friends due to my mother and I are going to go to the shopping centre. I know it is going to be an amazing day thank you to my family and friends. 11:35 am

THERE IS JUSTICE FOR ALL? 8/12/18 10:47 am Around the world there are many laws that could be fair and unfair for many people, depending on the developing level of the country. Normally, the most developed countries, have more fair laws; I mean, they are more adapted to the society that live there and their costumes and likes. However, there are any not so developed countries that have lack of justice; racial justice, woman justice, judicial justice, etc. Due to that, there is no justice for all around the world. Even in the most developed countries, there are many awful laws that should be deleted, and others that are very essential that should be added. So, at least, a country should have respect for immigrants,  respect for women, respect for others' sexuality and a fair government to make justice for I have said before. 10:57 am

TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION 7/12/18 7:24 pm Nowadays, technology has improved significantly. In some schools, some years ago, started to use electronic devices like electronic blackboards, individual computers, etc for the use of the students. It can have many pros but also many cons. It is okay that teachers wants to show children how to convine technology with learning; however, it could cause an addition problem in some cases. If you show to your pupils that doing everything online it is okay, in the future they will not know how to study or do some research without technology and this is very sad. So, I think that education and technology are part of a good team, but teachers should know how to use it correctly to not influence students badly. 7:34 pm

ANIMALS FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES AND CRUEL EXPERIMENTS 6/12/18 11:45 am Animals are loved by many people, but there are also hated by other people. Some people think that all the things that are not human should be experimented and put for research. I agree that animals and nature in general is very interesting but they are living organisms and they do not deserve to be experimented while suffering. I have read many articles which said that many animals are put on machines experiments to know things like where they are really from, etc. I find this disgusting and I think society should complain about this type of scientists that make animals suffer. There are many people that have study animals' science and could know many things about them without experimenting with them so I think we should leave animals living in peace.  11:55 am

THE MOST SUITABLE AGE TO HAVE A RIGHT TO VOTE 5/12/18 11:10 pm Right now, we are on the voting process of some communities and some people talk about the right age of voting. Young people that start to vote when they have their 18s, may have their ideas clear but they also may not. I mean, some young people can vote being influenced by their family or just because they read many things and social media that make them think that voting for a ruling party in particular is the best option. Due to this situation, I think that most young people do not vote while knowing what they are doing. If you ask them of what are the ideas of the team that they have voted, they do not know how to answer you correctly. However, it also happens with adult people. To sum up, I think that there is no a most suitable age to vote. Obviously, a young person has a less control of how the world is working than an adult, but there is many young people that know more than many adult people abou...

EXPLICIT MOVIES 4/12/17 12:36 pm Yesterday I talk about children listening to songs with explicit lyrics, today I am going to talk about children watching any type of movie. I think that this time, it is more complicated due to being more careful with it. In this case, I think that children should not watch this type of films. With this type of movies I am referring to horror movies or adult content movies. If a 6 years old child watch a horror film, it could cause sleeping problems or maybe that he or she feels afraid of things that do not really exists. The adult mind is more capable of knowing that monster do not exists, but not a children mind. The same happens with adult content movies, if a child starts watching this type of movies too early, his or her mind could be frustrating with things that are unnecessary at that age. 12:47 pm

ARE MODERN LYRICS TOO EXPLICIT FOR A YOUNG AUDIENCE? 3/12/18 6:23 pm There are many singers that launch many explicit lyrics songs.  However, I think that over the years, there are also many singers that have launch many songs of this type, so, is not new. Everyone listen to music to disconnect from the world and depends of the age that you have, you are going to feel more identified with many types of song's lyrics; I mean, a child is not going to listen to the same songs as you use to listen. However, society has change a lot and children want to grow up faster than they are supposed to. I have seen many videos involved by children about the lyrics of a song that talk about sex or drugs, even if the child doesn't understand what it is saying. I think that in this case, parents should look after their children if they are too young and they are listening to that type of things. However, if they are teenagers, I do not think it is a bad thing to deal with.  ...

ONLINE DATING 2/12/17 5:45 pm Meeting people online is known as something insecure and strange. Society still have in their minds that couples should meet each other by destiny and without searching it. However, technology has improved and there are many ways of meeting people online. If you can meet people as a friends, as I talked about it in some writing journals later, you could also meet people for dating. The bad thing about this is that maybe you found people that try to trick you or lie about their personal identity. In person is more difficult to lie about you but it also could happen. So, I believe that some people can meet their future couple online but maybe not all people are able to find someone.  5:55 pm

Anorexia 1/12/18 10:03 am Nowadays, there is a debate about anorexia. Should we fight against it? Anorexia is usually a girl's problem.; however, there are many boys that also have it. It is a sickness that consists on an alimentation problem; when a person has a very slow weight and she or he keep thinking that they are still overweight or they are afraid of weighting more and more. There are many symptoms that you can have if you suffer this type of sickness. For example: a very slim body, stop eating, do too much exercise, eat a lot and then puke it, lack of emotions, depression, insomnia, etc. So, society should promote some campaign against this problem to help all the people that have it. 10:13 am

CAN EVERYONE BENEFIT FROM HIGHER EDUCATION? 30/11/18 Nowadays, higher education is putting many countries in pressure due to do not wanting students to pay all the fine of university degrees. They are trying to decide if the access for the people that want to enter to university education should be restricted or open, giving costs involved. Higher education would be in danger of losing students due to the cost, citizens would have to pay more taxes and we should look at keeping university education open to clever students from poor backgrounds. First of all, if students had had to pay all the cost of the matriculation, they couldn't have dealt with all the money spent there; so they may withdraw their courses, and the universities will lose a lot of students. That is why, many people cannot afford a higher education due to their low salaries; however, they had the same right to get a degree that a richer person. For this reason, if universities want to still having a lot ...

ENERGETIC PRODUCTS 25/11/18 12:32 pm There are many people that is obsessed with the perfect body shape and also with sport. Some athletes drink some energetic drinks while doing sport to feel with more energy and that staff. My father, for example, when he has a very long race he drink natural drinks that helps him to recover the salts that the body needs to keep going. However, not all people drink natural energetic products; many of them are artificial and bad for health. There are also many pills and food that people eat to be stronger. I do not agree with that type of keeping in shape, I think it is not natural. If a person wants to keep fit, the best thing he or she could do is eating healthy and doing sport, without these types of artificial products. 12:42 pm

SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES 24/11/18 8:22 pm In our society there are many types of people. The type of people that I am going to talk about are the ones that like smoking. I respect that some people could like it but I think that in public spaces like inside a bar or maybe next to you in a pub, is a bit annoying. There are open public spaces that are adapted to the ones that like smoking so people that smoke should use them. Another thing that I do not like about some people that smoke is that they throw the fag-end to the floor or to the sand of the  beach. If you do that, you are contaminating the places that the rest of people also use and go. So, I think that if people continue to smoke throwing the fag-ends in public spaces without respecting the other people, should be denied. 8:32 pm

Should university degrees be free for everybody? 23/11/18 Brainstorming → government helps; people that do not have much money; everyone would have studies;  I. University degrees should be free for everybody due to unfair government helps, improve the future of students and secure everyone's studies.    II. Government helps.        A: Give much money to the ones that do not need it and less to the ones that really need it.            1. Fake family incomes.         B: This economical helps would be an open door to the ones that really want to study.            1. Free year if you pass every subject.   III. Improve the students' future.        A: If university degrees were free, maybe more people would be more interested in studying and get a profesional career.   IV. Secure everyone's stud...

ALCOHOL SHOULD BE CONTROLLED 23/11/18 10:08 am Alcohol is something that is in every party. The bad thing is that teenagers of 13/14 years also drink it in parties when they should not do it. I think that if a young teenager starts to smoke or drink this type of drinks, is going to have health problems in the future because this is not good. The fact is that not in all places where you can buy alcoholic drinks or cigarattes ask you for your age, maybe because they just want to earn money and they do not care about the health of young teenagers. Another thing is drunk adult people in bars. I think that if the responsable of the bar sees that one client is overpassing the situation with the alcohol, he should not give him more. Maybe he will lost a bit of money but he is going to put in danger the rest of his clients because only for one of them. In conclusion, I think that everybody could drink everything they want but just with a bit of autocontrol, execept of young teenag...

REAL EXPERIENCE OF FILMS AND TV SERIES 22/11/18 10 :32 am There are many action, thriller or horror tv series or films that people love that have created some entertaiment atractions to all their fans. For example, there is a game called Escape Room. The Escape Room is based on horror, action or thriller themes dedicated to our entertaiment. For example, here in Murcia, there is a company of Escape Rooms that gives you some films or tv series themes to participate on. It is a bit expensive but if you go with many friends is cheaper. For example, there is a film called Saw. An Escape Room based on Saw may have different rooms where you will have to solve different games and crucigrams to enter to the next room. In Madrid, in front of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, there is an Escape Room of 'Money heist' or in spanish, 'La casa de papel'. I saw it last week when I was in Madrid and I think it would be interesting to enter with your friends. ...

DIETS 21/11/18 11:12 pm Having a perfect body is one of the things that today's society force you to have. We see on the TV every day a lot of perfect bodies of models and actors that make us feel bad with ourselves. Due to that, people are capable of doing crazy things like stop eating to lose weight or maybe start a diet. However, there are other people that want to start a diet with other reasons; for example, people with overweight as a sickness try to lose weight with that type of diet and maybe with some sports exercises. I think that a diet is something that you have to look at consciously because if you do not do it, you will have health problems in the future. There are people that search for diets on the internet to lose weight but they do not know that if they want to do a diet they should go to the dietist; every person has a different body and maybe a diet that you could find online does not have the food that your body needs to be healthy.   11:22 pm ...

“INTERNET FRIENDS” 20/11/18 10:36 pm Thank you to music, video games, and social media, you are able to meet amazing people with your same hobbies and mutual thinks you love. Since I first knew about my favorite band (2012), I have found on Twitter and Instagram girls that also liked them so we started talking and we are still friends. The amazing and sad at the same time thing about this is that you see them at their concerts. It is amazing due to you are spending time with them but it is sad because you can only see them once a year or once between two years and I really hate that. For example, last weekend I was in Madrid to go to the concert of my favorite band and I met my internet friend; I haven't seen her since 2016 and we were really happy to see each other. We spent an amazing time at the concert, in my opinion, this is the best experience I have had. There I have also met other girls that live around Spain that are amazing, we have been only 4 days together...

VIDEOGAMES 19/11/18 8:24 pm Videogames are a very famous way of entertainment. Through the years, many types of videogame machines, better videogames graphics, etc have appear. I remember that the first videogame machine that I had was a gameboy and after it a nintendo. I loved it and I still have the nintendo by the way. Therefore, videogames have became very famous in the teenagers society and due to that, they are more and more expensive. However, I think videogames should be a way of entertainment that cannot influence kids behaviour. With that I refer to videogames addiction and violence videogames. In my opinion, kids should have a paternal control of videogames and electronic devices to have a healthy childhood. In addition, I think parets should not let their kids to play videogames that are not for their age. For example, many kids have changed their behaviour due to these videogames. 8:34 pm

LEGAL ABORTION 18/11/18 4:08 pm In many countries, abortion is not legal. I think that this is a very controversial topic that is putting the people that are for abortion versus the ones that are against it. I think this should be a thing legal in every country due to many things; for example, when a young girl is rapped and she is pregnant, obviously she wants to abort. This is a really good reason because who wants to have a baby that comes from a rape? It could be amazing but there are many people that thinks that this girls should have the baby no matter the circunstancies. One thing is that you are older than a young girl and you do not have precaution, in that case it is more understandable that some people think that a woman should have a baby. However, I think that if a woman is going to have a baby without wanting it, the baby is not going to be loved and is not going to grow in a pleasant atmosphere so this is really unfair. Due to this, abortion should be legal i...

FREE EDUCATION 17/11/18 11:50 am The educational system is something that has to be one of the principal things in all the countries. The government gives to students some economical helps to the ones that needs it to help them study at bachiller, university, etc. However, in some countries people cannot study due to the expensive price of education. I think that education should be free in all the countries because there are people that really wants to study and they cannot due to they cannot afford it. Last week my mother said to me that the government decided to quit ERASMUS students helps; I do not no if this is true but, if it is, it would be very unfair. If this is true, when my third year in university arrives, I would not be able to do this travel to improve my English. Obviously, there are more people that would not afford it too. It is normal that some schools and universities do not cost the same as public ones due to you are paying for some necessities and qua...

A place that I would visit 16/11/18 11:42 am The Great Salt Lake is the largest salt lake in the USA. It is located in Utah. I would go there due to I love natural landscapes. I have seen many photos of it on the internet and I think it would give me astonishing views. I also love to photograph every place that I visit and I think I would take amazing pictures at that place. In addition, you have the Salt Lake City there, where you are able to visit amazing buildings like the Salt Lake Temple, the Natural History Museum of Utah, Cathedral of the Madeleine, etc. I would also love to visit there the Liberty Park and the Sugarhouse Park. I also love doing hiking when I go to that type of natural places and this place is perfect for it due to all the hiking ruts that it has.  11:52 am

My bedroom 15/11/18 10:25 pm My bedroom is a place where I feel relax. I spend all day here when I am at home, to be honest. I study, draw, listen to music, watch films and TV series, etc in my room. I also have it decorated, I have many posters of my favorite band, photos with my friends on the wall, a guitar that someday I will try to learn to play it, etc. I also have many books that I have read, I also love reading in my room. I live in a flat but it is not a noisy flat, all my neighbors are very quiet and respectful. Also, my bedroom is very big and I have all the things very tidy so when I enter I feel good and relax. 10:35 pm

Cameras 14/11/18 11:55 pm I think that taking photos of everything you love or like is a way of remembering it. Over the years, there are many types of cameras: polaroids, digital cameras such as Nikon, phones... I love taking photos of everything, I love photography in general. I wish I have a Polaroid camera to take photos and have them on photographic paper at the moment, I love that feeling. However, I do not have one so what I do is taking photos with the phone and then, with an app called Lalalab I print them. I think is an excellent option to have your photos hanging on your wall. I love looking at my wall and see the faces of my friends, the places that I visited and I loved or just a panoramic of a landscape that I like. Nowadays, you can just have all the photos on your computer or on your phone; however, I am more old-styled on that topic.  12:04 am

Shopping 13/11/18 1:07 pm Going shopping is something known as a women hobby. However, I think all people could like going shopping, it does not have to be a stereotyped hobby. There are different types of shopping due to it depends on what you want to buy. You could buy everything that comes to your mind: clothes, merchandising of your favorite band, singers, tv series, etc, cosmetics, jewelry, sports stuff, etc. Because of that, there is a place called the shopping center. A shopping center has a lot of different shops where you can find all the things that you want. In a city, you can usually find many of them. Another way of going shopping is buying online. The bad thing about buying online is that if you buy something that is needed to be tried, you cannot try it and if is not your size, you have to give it back online and in my opinion, it is stressful. I only like to buy online merch stuff.  1:18 pm

A special gift I have given 12/11/18 7:13 pm Later, I talked about my best friends, so I also thought of talking about one gift that I gave her. Sometimes, we liked to send us gifts; for example, the last gift that she gave me was the first time we met. She gave me makeup, a beautiful letter, a cactus pillowcase and a cup from her trip to Rome. I loved it. So, I send her another one. Inside the box, I put: earrings, a photo of us when we first met, a phone case, a necklace that I made for her and a note that said that next summer I will go to visit her. She loved it. I think that there doesn't have to be a reason to give to someone you love a gift.  7:22 pm

The working student 11/11/18 7:41 pm A working student is known as a person who always does the homework and always study at home. However, I think that a working student is also a person that tries hard without studying and do everything every day. For example, I live far from the university, and I found it impossible to do all the things in one day. I am only able to do homework and practices because I also need to sleep. I usually study more on Sundays because that day I am at home. However, I do all my homework, I go daily to class but I do not study every day and I consider myself a working student. 7:49 pm

My best friend 10/11/18 11:36 am If I think about one of my best friends, the first person that comes to my mind is Nuria. She has the same age as me, 18. The only bad thing is that she lives in Extremadura. We met on Twitter 5 years ago because we both liked a music band so we started talking, and since that, we talk every day. We call each other with frequency and we talk about everything. We are always telling our daily routing and our family or friendship problems and we always help each other. Is a very nice person: however, the thing that I most admire about here is how honest she is. In a friendship, I love honesty, I am very honest with my friend and if a feel that I need to say something I said and normally, my friends from here do not like it due to they hate the truth. This does not happen with her, if we discuss something and tell each other the truth, it is okay, we have to understand it. In conclusion, I am very glad about having meeting her and I really love...

The people I live with 9/11/18 8:03 pm At the moment, I am living with my mother and my brother in a flat. My mother is a person that is normally silence; however, when my brother is here, she usually starts to get mad at him and they start screaming. My brother is an 11 years old kid that is very active and cannot be doing anything. He is always running through the house or talking loudly and also watching videos with very loudly. My mother and I usually get mad at him because of that. There are other days that I have to live with my father and my grandma', I also love being there with them because we spend many funny moments. The only bad thing is that when I am studying, my grandma' forgets what I am doing and maybe she starts to call a friend loudly and that type of things and that really annoys me. However, they are amazing people and I love them very much. When anything happens to me they are always there to help me.  8:14 pm

Parties and alcohol 8/11/18 12:21 pm Parties are a known way of having fun. Young people are the ones that are most used to go to parties. However, also teenagers and adult people go to party too. The good thing about parties is that you can enjoy time with your friends dancing, listening to music and drinking. The bad thing is that many people lose control and could hurt other people, this is caused by alcohol and drugs. For example, if you know that you are going to drink alcohol at a party, you know that you shouldn't drive after drinking it due to causing an accident. Another example is all the fights that are caused at many discos due to people that get drunk. I think that we should avoid that because we do not need to drink as much to have fun.  12:30 pm

Friendship 7/11/18 9:00 am In my opinion, being a friend of somebody means to know that he or she is going to stay with you always and you are going to stay with him or her always, it has to be mutual. I think that a friendship consists of having trust in somebody and that you can tell him or her everything that happens to you or the things that you want to tell him. Also, is very helpful when you are through a difficult moment because a friend is going to be there supporting you all the time. Another good thing about friendship is that you have somebody to laugh with and to do different activities like doing sport, watching films, going shopping or having a walk. However, you have to be careful with people, because there are people that pretend to be your friend but they are really not. This type of people may hurt you with the pass of time. 9:11 am  

"All the bright places" 06/11/18 10:20 I would like to talk about my favorite book; "All the bright places". This book is written by Jennifer Niven, an American writer from North Carolina that has written many teenagers book like this one and "Holding up the universe". "All the bright places" is about a girl, Violet, that has recently lost her sister in a car accident. She is having mental problems and one day she starts getting help from a boy called Finch that apart from having serious mental problems, like suicide thoughts, tries to help her to be fine as she has always been. I love that book because it talks about some controversial teenagers problems that are very actual nowadays. 10:30

Pollution 9/11/18          Effects                                                       Causes                                               Solutions -Climate change                                       -Factories                                             -Products for                                                                  ...

For or against and 3 reasons why. Then, write one thesis statement per theme.   9/11/18 1. Government surveillance.  Government surveillance is a good way to control the robberies, the disappearances and the safety of a town. 2. Gun ownership. Having a gun at home could be dangerous for children, aggressive people and it could increase the number of shootings.  3. Globalization. If we permit a total globalization, many traditions and cultures will disappear and all the places around the world will be the same.  4. Changing your name. Changing your name should be allowed for everyone that want to do it due to their sexuality, personal problems or just because they want to do it. 

Managing tourism growth 9/11/18 Many developing countries have found that the development of a tourism industry can bring social and environmental drawbacks. Growing visitors numbers can cause pollution and put pressure on scarce such as water. However, there is a limited number of such visitors, and this market requires considerable investment in infrastructure and training. One possible solution is to target wealthier holidaymakers, in order to get the maximum profit from minimum numbers. Another remedy is to rigorously control the environmental standards of any development in order to minimize the impact of the construction. This requires effective government agencies, but is likely to ensure the best outcome for both tourists and locals. 

CINEMAS 22/10/18 9:08 am A film is able to tell a story in 1/2 hours. It is one of the many ways of entertainment. Going to the cinema is an amazing way of distracting your mind, sitting in front of the big screen and hear the sound of the film through the big speakers is something that everybody should do once in their lives. The bad thing about the cinemas is that the government has increased through the years the cost of going there; also going to theatres, concerts... cultural things in general. And people prefer not going because of the cost of it, which is heartbreaking.  9:14 am

FAMOUS PEOPLE 22/10/18 11:20 am A person became famous because of many reasons. Maybe because she or he is from a famous family, or because he or she has done something important like discovering something... Also, there are people who get known because they know how to dance or sing or even because they are actors and actress. However, they are still persons. I don't like that the journalists and paparazzi go behind them taking pictures without asking them. It is true that if you are famous, your image is exposed to all people because this is one of the consequences of being known. Therefore, this might be something very uncomfortable. Another thing that I don't like is that a lot of people start to scream when they see a famous person. I don't think that this is a good way of acting in front of somebody. If I see a famous person, I think it is better to talk to them like a normal person. They want to be treated like that.  11:31 am

PAINTING 21/10/18 1:00 pm Painting is one of the ways of showing your creativity and develop your imagination. Since we are children, adults show us how to paint and draw. It is a very useful way of developing your brain in an artistic way. It is true that not all people like it or are good at it. However, everybody has done it almost one time on their lives. In my opinion, I love to paint with watercolors; I think it's amazing how the paint pigment expands on the paper with the help of the water. Painting with music is a fantastic way of disconnecting for a while of the journey.  1:12 pm

CONCERTS 20/10/18 12:36 pm Concerts are an amazing way of entertainment. If you really like a band or a singer, going to their/his/her concert is astonishing because seeing it live is a feeling that everyone should have. I have been to Ed Sheeran's concert and 5SOS' concerts. Going to concerts has many advantages; you meet people there with your same hobbies, you see people that are far away from you. For example, I have two friends in Madrid and when we can, we meet to go to a concert there, it is an amazing experience. Walking into the concert and seeing all the fans with those happy faces and singing all together is fascinating.  12:43 pm

INSECURITIES ON TEENAGERS 19/10/18 10:43 pm There are many things that made teenagers feel uncomfortable with the world, in general. Firstly, teenagers, to each other, create insecurities to make others feel bad. This is also called Bullying; some teenagers feel depressed due to others talking bad of them and that type of things. Fashion is also a way to feel insecure about yourself because today's trends are a bit extreme and also, we add to this that society is mean and want to make you feel bad only because you do not fit in the top trend. Schools, high schools and universities also made us feel insecure about ourselves. It makes us feel a lot of pressure and obsessive thoughts and it is horrible, to be honest. To sum up, society is very rude and it is very hard to go on with your life if all people are judging you.  10:51 pm
