Image
Next year, we will start a new experience that will change our lives. Choosing our university studies a difficult and important decision too. During this period some people who live f ar away from Universities have to live with other students sharing a flat or living in a residence. But, is living away from home a good idea? On the one hand, it can be a great experience to know who you are far away from your family. When you leave your comfort zone, you really have to be responsible and self-sufficient. Moreover, you will make a lot of new friendships and you will enjoy a lot of new experiences. On the other hand, if you are a person that depends a lot on your family, this can be a difficult experience for you. Also, it can be difficult if you are a shy person. Although, this can help you to overcome your limits and beco me a new person. In conclusion, living aw ay from your family can be an excellent experience to get rid of your concerns and become responsible and an

Can we judge others by the way they look? Does a person’s appearance influence his or her character?

Image
Who has not judged someone by his or her appearance? The whole society has made this almost once .  I believe that appearance does not influence someone's character. First of all, we live in a society with a lot of beauty can ons. What I mean is that if you are not in these can ons, people judge you. But, who sets up these canons? Well, we only have to enter Instagram and we will see influencers that show us their excellent body that normally nobody haves. Secondly, the ages of their followers are teenagers that could have important problems such as anorexia, bulimia or others because they want to be like them. I personally think that influencers have a real influence on their followers. And as I see it, they must be responsible and keep an eye on their publications and the image that the followers get. In conclusion, I think that judging people contributes to giving a false image about them and their personality and I personally feel that this first thought about p

Do you shop online, or do you like to go to stores? Does the type of product you are looking for make a difference in your decision? Are online stores fair competition for “real” stores?

Image
Who has not bought something online? Very few people. Some people prefer to shop in real stores, others to buy both ways depending the product that they buy and others prefer to buy all the products onlin e.  I believe that shopping online is easier than shopping in real stores. First of all, the most relevant advantage of buying online is that you only have to enter a web page of the store where you buy something and put your personal information and the number of your credit card. As I see it, it is easier and faster than going to a store and buying it.  Secondly, sometimes you go to a real store looking for an especial product and it is sold. So, you are making an unnecessary move a nd you waste a lot of time. Obviously, if you buy online, you don’t have to move and you can see if the product I that you are looking for is available or not and compare the prices with nother web pages. In short, from my point of view, buying online is better than buying in a real store

CONSEQUENCES THAT THE USE OF THE LATEST MORPHING TECHNOLOGY

Who still watch es the news on TV? Well, personally I prefer to read the news in social networks because you can find it at the moment and you don’t have to wait to the new’s time on TV. First of all, nowadays very few people hasn’t got a tablet , a computer or a smartphone in their lives. They can do a lot of things with these devices. They can talk with friends, study, watch movies but also they can read the news. Obviously, we have to follow only the news that come from official pages. Unfortunately, there are a lot of fake news in the net.  Secondly, I strongly believe that the revolution of internet will make newspaper and also TV news disappear . They will work by the net and news on social networks will improve and people won’t trust fake news because they will know what kind of information is real and also, they will reject false information. In conclusion, they need to work more to improve the quality of news that we can find in social networks and report false

LEARNING ENGLISH BY MY WAY

Image
Last summer I signed in Netflix. My family agre ed with me to buy a month subscription. First, I watched a lot of series and films in Spanish but there was a series that it was only in English. I really wanted to see that series and I thought that watching the series in English would be a good experience to learn English in a different way. I had never listened to the voice of the serie’s actors in English, with their real voice. I was a little surprised but now I can’t hear their voice in Spanish because it sounds a little bit strange. Another way to learn English is making exchanges with people from other countries. They don’t speak your language and if you want to speak with them, you have to do it in E nglish. Fortunately, I have made a lot of exchanges during my life. Some of them with my high-school but others by my way. I think it’s a great experience to know who y ou are to know new people and to learn new languages and new cultures. In conclusion, nowadays learning

ARE LOVE LOCKS ROMANTIC OR A MENACE?

Image
Well, we know that tourists are an important part of the global economy. They want to leave a mark on the country that they visit and one of the most popular ideas is putting a love-lock in a tourist trap. But, are love-locks romantic or a menace? On the one hand, being in love with someone is a great feeling, you are in a cloud. So, you want to stay all your life with your partner .  Furthermore, urban legends say that if you put a love-lock in a bridge and you throw the key into de river, your love will lasts forever. Romantic, isn’t it? On the other hand, all these love-locks are a menace to the environment. Imagine all the keys that are in the river living with a wide range of fishes. They probably have problems with keys and a lot of them will die soon because of the pollution of the river. Moreover, the bridges that are preserved for a long time. In conclusion, love-locks are a romantic idea, of course, but we have to think beyond us and think about the environment. If
