Self-Assesment of Malala's Interview

I think that my interview it was good but I wasn't prepare so much because I wasn't have time, but the questions and the answers that I did were good. I think that my vocabulary was good but I wasn't have a reach vocabulary and difficult. In my opinion, the topic it wasn't good because I wasn't learn about this girl and her life. I think that it was so much good if we could prepare the interview of someone that we learn. But in general, it was good.

An email for Gretta (Begin Again film)

Hello Dan,

I haven't talked to you since when we went to college together. I have a lot of things to tell you and I want you to help me to plan that I have for my future.

First, I have finished my relationship with my boyfriend because he has had an affair with another girl. But this is not the principal issue. I wanted to explain you that I make songs, but I need a little bit help because is very difficult to be alone doing this type of things. I'm making the lyrics with my guitar but I think that I need more rhythm, more drums and more instruments.

My plans for the future are this; the music and be good with my friends.
I think that I'll discover my talent, play music.
I hope that it is a great idea and I need your help, Dan.

Thank you for all and tell me something!

Kisses,

Gretta

How I meet my best friend?

Anna and I met at the first course of the school, P-3. We were very little and we didn't know anything about the school or the schoolmates. I remember that on the first playground that I had, Anna and I went outside together and we saw that we had so much in common.

When we started primary school, we weren't best friends but we talked and played together, like most of childrens. Sometimes, after the school, we met at the park and we saw that together the things were more beautiful. We had ups and downs but is normally in these age because there were other friends.

But then, in secondary school, we got angry for a personal troubles and we met other friends, But we saw that without each other we couldn't live well and we forgave after one year. In this stage, we live a lot of moments together like concerts, parties or, simply, in the school we had a lot of funny moments.

Now, we're always together and she is the most special person in my life. I couldn't live without her and I love her a lot.

Discussion essay: Being a mom is great

When you are a children, you don't think about being a mom but when are an adult, you start thinking about this great experience, being a mom. Being a mom is a good experience and you have to be sure about this, but there are advantages and disvantages.

On the one hand, being a mom is great because you always have a thing to do and you can explain correct things to your children. I think that being a mom is a beautiful experience because you can teach your children and playing with her. However, there could be days that you are bad and the children gets angry with the mom. But this is normal.

On the other hand, sometimes being a mom can be a problem and difficult because a mom, like all the girls, want to stay relax and go out with her friends. When you have a baby, you can't go out or is more difficult because the baby needs the mom all the time.

In my opinion, being a mom is the best experience that you can have in the life. It's true that you can't do things that you want to do but, ¿there are things more beautiful that being a mom?

Discussion essay: Violence on TV makes people violent

Nowadays we spend a lot of time in front the TV, and people of all ages start watching programmes that, a lot of times, aren't for their age. We see in the TV that there are a lot of programmes or films that they aren't suitable for the people. Is it true that violence on TV make us violent?

On the one hand, most of the films are made  for all ages and there is a problem with this because they can be scenes where the childrens can't watch it. I don't agree with this because I think that in the information of the film they have to say the age that can watch it.

On the other hand, most of the films are made thinking about the people and what scenes can put for all ages. The most of film's directors thought before take out the film.

In conclusion, most of the times the films are suitable with all ages because before taking out the film on the cinema or in the TV, the people think and I agree with this. I think that the people have to go with eyes and watch the films that don't have violent scenes.

A place I enjoy!

Somewhere I enjoy is my bedroom because is a comfortable place and I'm with my privacity and nobody bother me. I think most of the teenagers think like me because we want to being alone in a while day. When I'm in my bedroom, I feel very safe and quiet because I only think on my things.

My room is a place that is not very big but is cozy. I have a lot of photos that describe my life and when I see this photos, I remember the best moments that I have in my life with the best people. There has one big window and from here I see the street. There were my two guitars and when I'm alone and quite, I playing it. I really like it!

When I have a bad day or I'm stressed and tired of all, I really like to stay alone in my bedroom because I listening my music or I reading my books. Most of the times that I stay at my bedroom, I'm with my mobile phone doing the activities that I say it before or talking with my friends. My bedroom is the way that I let go all my thoughts and I relax.

A lot of people thought that stay at the bedroom alone is boring and is a way that you wasting time, but in my opinion, is the best place that you can be yourself and you can do everything that you want.

Opinion Essay 2

Is the same the personality that you have in the school than in your home?

In our modern lifestyle, the teenagers spend more hours in the school with the friends than at home with family. As I see in the school, the teenagers have a different conduit when there are with friends because they want to be accepted by other groups of teenagers. This is one of the many reasons why teenagers sometimes behave in the bad behaviour to other teenagers or to the teachers. 

First of all, I think that the teenagers should behave the same way that they are in the school than they are in home. In my opinion, when they are home, the teenagers have another way to comunicate with their family that is different in the school. Sometimes, when they arrive at home, they completely change their way to be. Every family have their histories, and perhaps the teenagers can change but in the other way, in the school.

Secondly, the teenagers don't have no idea that they are changing their way to life and don't realize that change. But I think that the teachers can't see it because they know how is this person and what appear. Is more difficult for the family because they don't know how the teenager behave in the school and, the reason is that they don't be in the class. 

In conclusion, most of the teenagers are changing when they are at a place like the school than when they are in a other place with more confidence like at home. I think that in the school is good to teach the personality and the modals for the life and at home, with thir parents, the same. 

Opinion Essay 1

Relationship between our modern lifestyle and physical inactivity

One of the biggest problems in our modern lifestyle is that the people, especially young people, changed in the last years doing anything. In my opinion, the young people changed their activities and only do activities that require little exercise like playing videogames, in the computer or, especially, doing nothing. But, is only for this reason that the people don't do exercise?

First of all, many teenagers spend a lot of time sitting down when they don't have anything to do. But this is not the problem of the young people because I think that in the school the students must stay sitting and quite. There aren't a lot of stand activities to do in the school and, in my opinion, this is a reason that young people don't do much activitiy. The most of the young people prefer to stay home than going to do sport and do a good activity all the days.

Secondly, the young people don't have any idea of cooking or having a good diet. They think that the best idea is eating fast food and, therefore, sitting down on the sofa or watching TV. For this reason, the young people don't know anything of good lifestyle and they think that all of the life is going to be like this, and it's important to teaching them.

In conclusion, modern lifestyle has changed in our country and if the schools don't change the activities and don't teaching them, the future gone more bad and there will more physical problems 

with the people and, especially, from the young people.
