New education system in Spain-opinion essay. Práctica evaluable.

Nowadays, in Spain every political party wants to make a new education system. However, it is a big mistake because we have to change our study habits frequently, and it will drive us crazy. Along my life, I have known two models of education, I disagree with both of them.
First at all, I desire to communicate that the worst decision of the government is the change of subjects. Politicians prefer students to learn more Maths and languages and less Art and Philosophy. From my point of view, it is because they want to control our mind; creativity and knowledge give people freedom.
The next point is that people who work for the government have a lot of money; however, they steal us much more money because " every citizen has to collaborate to increase the economy of our country". Students lose materials, we have less money to buy our books, we can't travel to other countries to learn different languages, while they are wasting their money in a new house, phones and more expensive things.
To conclude, politicians mustn't be selfish, they have to respect us and think solutions to finish with the poverty in Spain. Therefore they should make our studies easier because young people are the future. Furthermore we deserve to be free, we should study whatever we want and increase our creativity.

Problem/Solution essay- práctica evaluable 3

Most of the people around the world know that women and men have the same rights. However, in a lot of countries people still thinks that women aren't as important as men. Once, I read a book called "Un burka por amor" where I realised that a woman and a bug are equal in some places. Today I can't understand it, in my opinion we should change this situation.
The first solution from my point of view are that girls and people in general from other modern countries must help these women who live in a jail. However, there is a problem against this solution: in this world, there are a lot of selfish people who only care about themselves. It remembers me the poverty, all of us know that poor people exist but only some rich people donate money.
As far as I am concerned there is another solution: women who are feeling this pain should fight for a better life, they should speak louder to achieve their rights. The problem against this solution is that most o f the men from these countries seem not to have feelings, they kill their girls without any problem. For that reason women are scared.
To conclude, in my opinion people around the world must fight for women rights, because without us the human race wouldn't exist. It is time to change, it is difficult because they have to refuse to their lives or their families, it is hard but I think that it is necessary too.

FUTURE (ESSAY)

Future isn't clear, nobody knows what will happen in a year, we need to decide what to do every moment: what are you going to study? what do you want to eat? There are two types of people: preventive people who are sure of their ideals, they want to control every moment of their lives; and those people who live on the edge, leaving their lives to change. I belong to type two, I am a lost person who has never been able to take a definitive decision. All my decisions are based in incoherent ideas, and I like it.

As I've said before, future questions attack our mind frecuently, people face these question in different ways, I will give you an example: recently, 96 generation had to choose what degree we wanted to study. When I walked for my highschool halls, I heard people who knew what they were going to study at university, do you desire to know what I wanted to study at university? Anything. I had no idea. Since I have been I child I've liked journalism but when I grew up I relised that it is a utopic, because you only can tell people what goverment let you say. Therefore, I had to chose another degree: English Studies. This time I don't repent of my decision, but you can choose the proper or the incorrect option.

Despite having time to take almost all our decision, sometimes future ask us things unexpectedly, and you have to aswer it at this moment. These moments are the real important points in our life, because the things that disturb all our life make us the way we are. For example, when somebody close to you die, you can react in a really bad way: crying all day, living without hope or dreams; or you can miss this person following with your live, remembering he/she with a smile. Abrupt moments make us stronger.

To conclude, you have to be ready because life send you questions, tests and you must find the proper manner to live your life. There are people who need a tidy life and people who don't care about it too much. If you are a free person like me, don't worry, you don't have to change but you must face your problems when they appear.

INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSIONS

Introduction: People have different hobbies, some of us love photography, painting, dancing; however others prefer video games, watching films or running marathons. Anyway, we should respect the likes of the rest of the society, if someone love something that you don't like, you can try to understand him/she but never criticize his/her opinion. Unfortunately, there aren't too many humans that enjoy doing different things, people usually look at you with bad eyes when you don't think as they do; it isn't my case, I invite people to tell me their likes.
Conclusion: From my viewpoint, it is a bad idea closing your mind and doing only the things that you are used to doing, we should look beyond our limits. If you hear what is saying the person sitting by you you will discover other possibilities that life brings to you. You reap what you sow, so when you respect people, people will respect you.

PHILOSOPHY- 1ª PRÁCTICA EVALUABLE

Write an opinion paragrah about something you really like but most of the pople don't like at all.

PHILOSOPHY.

When I was at high school I loved this subject but my classmates hated it and I couldn't understand them. Philosophy is the love of knowledge, if you study it, you will be able to difference the correct and the bad way, you will be able to catch a liar and you will have you own thoughts. First of all, I could say that I am an lover of culture. When I was a child I liked reading books which talked about art or mithology. Later, when I was 13 I started to read books that made me think about the important things in this life, like "A Happy World", then I began to love the philosophy. In my opinion this subject is necessary to be a good person. I mean, when you know what is the proper way, then you can follow it. However, if someone hasn't attended school in all his life and he doesn't know how to think by himself then this person will have a lot of problems. From my point of view, philosophy is the best way to be a person with habilities. If you study it, nobody will cheat you.


THESIS STATEMENT

THESIS STATEMENT: Being sitting in the sofa is easier than doing sport, but at least it helps you train your body and you can have less stress.


THESIS STATEMENT INTEGRATED IN A PARAGRAPH: Being sitting in the sofa is easier than doing sport, but at least it helps you train your body and you can have less stress. In our society there two prototypes of people: those who can't live without sport, they need swimming, dancing, playing football; but people who don't do anything also exist, they only want to eat fast food and watch the TV. It is a hard classification, from my point of view we need to do sport because it is really good to our health, but we have to know where our limit is, we should have days of relaxation and we also should eat healthy food.




FEAR IS OPTIONAL

The older we are, the more fears we have. I've arrived at this conclusion remembering my chilhood, when I was a child I did things without thinking in their impact: I talked to each other in a free way, I didn't care about what they opined. However, nowadays I am careful with my words and my actions because I am more conscious and I have empathy, therefore I have many more fears...

Fear of the death of someone I love
Fear of being alone
Fear of failing
Fear of spiders
Fear of fear

After doing this redaction I ask myself: Am I growing up or am I falling back?
I think I will follow an advice that I've read somewhere: feel the fear and do it anyway.

Friendship never ends

When we are younger we give a lot of importance to friendship, children love playing football or playing with their dolls and they want to do it with their friends. However, when you grow up you desire to have more independence, a lot of adolescents think that their parents have never been teenagers and therefore they don't understand their children's situation; however your friends are still there, living the same things that you are living. When you have your first crush your companions stand by you, making you smile. Friendship never ends because your mates are the family that you choose.The time flies, too many people enter into your live every year, meanwhile others are leaving it, but always there will be  someone with you... you must decide who.
