ENGLISH 2 BATXILLERAT A LAIA MOYES

SHOULD EXAMS DISAPPEAR FROM SCHOOLS? Nowadays, we often listen to comments like: don't be stressed, it's the life of the student. But, are exams the best way to assess students? I strongly believe that exams aren't the best way to learn. First of all , I have learnt more doing assignments than doing exams. When you are preparing for the exam, you only think about knowing all the words that you have in your notes. From my point of view, working in pairs or individually offers a wide range of methods by using imagination, creativity, etc. Secondly, I think that exams don't allow a lot of good students to be brilliant in their future professions. At the end, when you work you must be good at your job, not have great marks in exams. In conclusion , exams won't determine you so I think that we have to give more importance to practice and also teach how students can be more useful in their lives.

DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE: BARCELONA Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia. It's at the top 10 of beautiful cities of the world. Well, we only have to stay a day there and you won't disagree with me.  Barcelona is a city that is always crowded with tourists . This means that it has a nice temperature during the year. If you visit the capital in winter I recommend you to visit the "Mercat of Santa Llúcia" and a walk in "Las Ramblas". The Christma's views in the heart of Barcelona are breathtaking . If you visit Barcelona in summer, you must go to "La Barceloneta" beach, eat a typical paella and relax in the Port of Barcelona. This area is always crowded because there are a lot of tourists gaps . As you can see, Barcelona is the city that you are looking for. You will find a gorgeous sea, the Mediterranean and also a lot of places that will make a great experience to add in your pocket of memories.
