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.
