I'm Lying On The Moon

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

THE CLASSROOM 18/10/18 This classroom → uncomfortable/educational/luminous/big/stressed/pressure... The classroom This classroom is a space where students enter to learn and to be prepared for the future. When I enter, I feel a bit stressed and nervous because I know that it is harder than high school and I need to do my best. For that reason, we feel a lot of pressure and insecurity here. In conclusion, it is a big and luminous place that was created for us.

COMPETITION SHOWS 18/10/18 11:30 pm Today's television has a big variety of TV programmes. One type of programme that is very famous nowadays is the competition show. There are many types of competitions shows; quiz show, sports show, talent show, etc. Quiz shows are about learning new things, that type of programme is very interesting because it usually has funny presenters that make you learn without knowing it making jokes about the things they talk about. Sports shows are starred by sportive people, obviously. In that type, also exists a silly show that consists of silly tests like jumping in slippery superficies and that type of things. The most famous competition shows are talent shows. Here in Spain, we have Operacion Triunfo, La Voz,  Got Talent, etc. It consists of knowing how to dance, sing, etc.  11:43 pm

BOOKS 17/10/18 11:09 pm Nowadays, reading is something undervalued. Before Social Networks appeared, reading was one of the most common hobbies. However, now most people prefer to be with their phone or computer instead of reading a book. I remember that when I was a kid I loved reading and nowadays children don't want to take a book, they think it is boring and I can't understand that. It is true that I don't read as I used to do it. But it is because I have more homework and more things to study so my free time is very little. Reading is something amazing. It makes you feel things that you can't feel watching a film. The fact of imagining all the scenery, characters, stories... I love it. In a film, you are seeing everything clearly and I think it's good to think and to exercise your brain.  11:16 pm

ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT 16 /10/18 10:43 pm On the internet, we have many platforms where we can see many videos, TV series, films, etc. In this writing, I'm going to talk about TV series and Youtube videos. Youtube is a platform where YouTubers upload entertainment videos such us music videos, gameplay videos, art videos, etc. There are many types of videos there. The best part is that most of them are 10 to 20 minutes videos and they are perfect for you to have fine for a while. There are videos for all ages; a year ago they created a children platform inside the original one and in my opinion, this is perfect for parents to have a control of what their little children watch. Now, I'm going to talk about TV series and films platforms. The most famous one is Netflix. Netflix is a website where you can watch many TV series and films, it is very varied. Another one that it's similar to Netflix it's HBO. The bad thing about this websites is that if you w...

NOWADAYS FASHIONS 15 /10/18 10:16 pm These days, fashion is one of the biggest industries in the world. They are always realizing new seasons and new trendies and people want to be fashionable. A way that they have of selling is having as models famous people, for example, if a famous singer wears clothing of Pull & Bear , the fans of that singer are going to go to this shop to buy this clothes. Another example is about series; Netflix has realized a new serie called Élite and Pull & Bear has realized a collection of clothes with the serie's name and also clothes that the actors wear in the serie. Inditex is the most famous clothing industry; it has trendy cheap clothes that most people buy. Social media has created a person called influencer; that person, is usually a person that knows how to dress up trendy and recommends to his/her fans how to be like him/her. This fact is good if we are talking about tips, entertainment, etc. However, most girls feel...

SPORTS 14 /10/18 8:50 pm Nowadays, the fact of doing sport is increasing in society. Many people are joining gyms and having a more healthy life. The most popular sports are running; there are many paths where people can run, ride a bicycle, etc. Swimming; if you swim you can exercise all your body, it's a very beneficial sport, I actually practice it and I love it. Gym; most people join a gym to do exercise because is a place where you have a lot of things to do. You can do Pilates, Zumba, dumbbells exercises, there are many sports machines, etc. It is a very complete place. Also, there are people who prefer to do exercise at home. To sum up, doing exercise is a way of keeping in shape and having a healthy life.  9:04 pm

INTERNET INFLUENCE ON TEENAGERS 1 3/10/18 10:55 pm Nowadays, all teenagers have a smartphone where they are able to download apps like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. The problem is that some teenagers pay to much attention to what social media says. If a trend appears, they will copy it and that's not okay because in some cases bad things happen. I'm going to mention some cases where teenagers do some stupid things just because a video went viral. The first one is about a song called 'Soap' of a British artist called Melanie Martinez. Some people had the 'incredible' idea of washing their mouth with soap because a verse of the song says 'Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap'. Some adult people blamed the artist but she didn't have the guilt of anything because the ones that decided to do that were the teenagers that washed up their mouth with soap. Another one is the 'Kylie Jenner lip challenge'; it's about put...

LEARNING NEW LANGUAGES 12/10/18 10:20 pm Nowadays, a person that has the ability to talk many languages is able to work wherever she or he wants. Languages are one of the most important pieces of the world. It has many advantages, for example, if you go to a country and you know the principal language, you are able to do whatever you want there and enjoy without having the worry if you are asking and talking in a correct way. Of course that if you know English, you can go to most of the places in the world and almost everybody would understand you. But knowing more languages is a way of having more job opportunities and also a personal satisfaction. Some ways of learning new languages are, going to the Idioms School, listening to music in the foreign language that you want to learn, watching TV series or films with subtitles in that language, etc. There are many ways but the first thing that you must have is eager to learn! 10:31 pm

ART IN EDUCATION 11/10/18 10:03 pm Many people think that art as a subject in schools and high schools is a waste of time. In my opinion, I do not agree. I think art is something that gives you creativity and helps you to train your imagination. If the government quit art in schools, children will not have an 'escape route' from maths, history, etc. It is normal that some children dislike the subject because they do not know how to draw and that type of things but I think that this subject is not about that. This subject is focused on developing children's imagination and creativity. Also in high school, I remember when in my first years I had art and drawing classes, I loved them because these are classes where you can work and talk with your classmates at the same time, also listening to music. You could disconnect for an hour of the journey and at the same time develop your creativity. Art helps you to have a more open mind. So, people that think that ...

MY TRAVEL TO THE GREEK ISLAND 10/10/18 8:40 pm Visiting the Greek Island was one of the activities that we did in our travel to Greece. We visited Hydra, Poros, and Aegina.  We took the ship in the morning, at 7 o'clock. At first, the journey was a bit uncomfortable because of all the tourist and the bad weather. We were a little seasick because of the waves. Later, the bad weather passed and we went to the deck of the sip to see the beautiful scenery.  Our first stop was Hydra; It was a very curious island because people do not drive there. They could only move through the island by water taxis and on donkey back. We did not have a tour guide so we started asking the people of the traditional shops about some curiosities of their island. We spent the rest of the time walking through the streets and taking photos. The houses there were very similar to the Mikonos' houses.  Our second stop was Poros; Poros was the most touristic island of the thre...

MY EXPERIENCE IN LONDON PART 5 8/10/18 10:03 am This was our last day there. When we woke up, we look through the window and it was snowing!. We had never seen the snow like that and we were amazed. We went to the British Musem, which was very interesting. We spend the morning there and after that, we went to Tesco to by food for the flight. We went to the hotel to take the suitcases and to take the bus and we went to the airport. At the airport, we have an unexpected adventure. The flight couldn't arrive on time and we spend there 8 hours waiting for the plane. It was horrible, to be honest. The airport gave us some money to spend there on food and at 1 am, if I am right, we took the plane. It was snowing a lot and we were a bit scared but it the flight went right and we arrived at 3 am at Alicante airport. We were very tired. In my opinion, going to London is the best travel I have ever done! 10:10 am

GUERNICA 17/10/18 The Guernica was painted by Picasso on 4th of June, 1937. It expresses what happened in the Civil War in Spain. Picasso painted this based on the photos that were realized after the Guernica Bombing, so it is remarkable. The fact that he expressed the pain it is heartbreaking.  It makes me feel heavy-hearted and shocked due to all the victims and all the violence that there were. To sum up, The Guernica is an astonishing, laborious and emotional work of art that represents a part of our history.

HIGH RATES OF HOME OWNERSHIP ARE BAD FOR THE ECONOMY 09/10/18 It has been argued that rises in the rate of home ownership can increase the rate of unemployment. Due to home ownership, people are more reluctant to move to find work. For example, in Spain, there is a high ownership that causes a high unemployment and in Switzerland, there is a low ownership that causes a low unemployment. In addition, other factors have been proposed such as the liquidity of housing markets that shows you how to sell houses easily. In conclusion, the theory is still controversial. To begin with this fact, high rates of home ownership are bad for the economy because it causes a lot of unemployment in countries like Spain. Nowadays, the government is increasing the rate of many usual things that people buy just to live in good conditions. Home ownership is one of the things that is getting worse day by day due to the high rates due to many people that cannot afford to live in a house in g...

14/10/18 Many non -European businesses aim to enter into the single European market due to the unexploited potential. There are three reasons for this interest. First of all, European markets are one of the leading investment destination and the easiest place to set up and run a business. Furthermore, another fact is that the European market provides foreign investors with an internationally competitive tax environment. Finally, there are many wealthy individuals living in European.

MY EXPERIENCE IN LONDON PART 4 06/10/18 11:12 am At the first time in the morning, we went to Candem Town. We bought there all the souvenirs. It was an amazing place! Many little shops with interesting things. After that, we bought the food and we went to Hyde Park. I think Hyde Park is the best natural park I have ever been. We eat there and we saw the swans and ducks. After that, we went to the Natural History Museum. I supposed that the museum was going to be astonishing but one thing that really surprised me was that the entrance to the museum is totally free! You can see a lot of amazing things there for free and that is amazing.  To finish the day we went to the famous Harry Potter's Platform 9 3/4 and also we visited the shop. It was a very beautiful place, I loved it. 11:23 am

The principal problems with phones 0 5/10/18 Nowadays, due to the use of the phone, there are many health, obligation and relationships problems that appear in our society. People these days cannot meet their friends without the phone, which is a big problem because you are losing the physical contact. Also, people have problems in their work because of the use of the phone. In many jobs and schools, the phone is forbidden. The most serious problems with phones appear when you are addicted and you cannot stay without your phone. In conclusión, the phone is not going to make you happy if you are addicted. 

MY EXPERIENCE IN LONDON PART 3 03/10/18 11:34 pm At the third day, we went in the morning to The Tower of London. We were meant to ask questions to the people there about the history of the Tower of London. We enter all the museums and ask all of that questions, this place has a very interesting history. After that, we board a ship to go through the Tamesis river. We were listening about the history of some buildings that we passed along.  For having lunch, we went to a restaurant in Trafalgar Square but, before that, we took photos there and asked some guards about the history of that square.  After eating, we enter the  National Art Gallery. In my opinion is one of the best art museums I've ever visited. However, the administration of the museum was a bit untidy. It was difficult to find the rooms because we were meant to find some art pieces and we spend almost all afternoon and evening there! It's very easy to be lost there.  Aft...
