That´s life

Sometimes, it is difficult to understand the different changes that life gives you. However, changes are absolutely necessary to improve. There are a lot of stages of development which can be hard to overcome. For example, starting University is one of the most important changes due to the fact that we have to move on a new city and we do not spend so much time with our relatives. Besides, we have to face with complicated subjects and new proffesors. Moreover, making new friends is not as easy to some people who is very shy. Teenagers have to learn how to be independent making their own decisions. Those are some negative aspects but we do not have to forget all the positive things like living countless experiences travelling and finding out new amazing places. We can know new people from all over the world and it could help us to open our mind. For this reason, we must keep thinking that changes are nothing terrible and they can help us to get a fantastic future because...

Problem Paragraph: Women´s rights

Nowadays , women´s rights are not respected in many contries and it causes a huge problem in our society. Therefore, gender equality is broken by many governments and one of the most important human right, equality, is violated. For this reason, women are not considered as good as men and they suffer a discriminatory behavior. Women are considered like simple objects to get married and take care of children. In some countries, women can work but they are paid less than men. Even in some places women are forbidden to vote.This situacion is completely unfair.

One solution to the problem of the women´s rights violation is to make aware people-women and men- that everyone has the same human rights because everyone are human and they must be treated equlity without any difference. Another answer is to establish a harder law and punish people and governments which don´t respect the women´s rights. A final solution is to teach children about the gender equality so they can learn to preserve it. People must be together to fight against the social inequiality and they will be able to win the battle to consolidate the justice, the liberty and the gender equality.

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen

To be honest, I do not read classics very often because it is not my favourite genre. However, I decided to start the reading of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen which is one of the most famous books in the world.

I had many expectations and I hoped that the plot really appealed to me. Finally, when I finished the book I was totally in love with the story. For this reason, I started to investigate information about the author. Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Steventon (England) and she is one of the most recognizable novelists. Austen was educated at home and she started to write when she was unexpectedly young. Austen got the success thanks to her great novels like Sense and Sensibility or Emma. She is a costumbrist writer due to the fact that we can see the traditions and customs of her time reflected in every page and chapter. She has stood out with her irony writing unforgotten novels which are full of realism.

In particular, Pride and Prejudice is about five sisters who must be married if they want to have economic security and social standing. Besides, I have found the most beautiful love story I have ever read between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy.  There are a lot of intelligent dialogs, detailed  descriptions and amazing moments. Everything is told by Jane Austen with an excellent ability.

All in all, I have a new favourite book now.

                                                      SMALL TOWN OR BIG CITY

Living in a village is very different from living in a town. You can be comfortable and quiet in the village because there is a lot of silence and tranquility. It´s a peaceful way of living. On the other hand, towns are always crowded and full of noise. Therefore, you cannot be in calm and it mays be extremely stressful. In contrast, cities have many places where you can find everything you need. However, small towns are devoid of indispensable sites like banks, shops or hospitals. Besides, when you live in a village, you are known by everyone and many people will discover all your personal details, but in big cities you are able to be yourself without fear of being criticised. All in all, villages and cities provide different experiences, places and chances, so people have to decide their own lifestyle.

Opinion Paragraph: Drugs

Nowadays, drugs are a huge problem in our society. Many young people decide to take them because they think that they are being "cool". Besides, people don´t want to admit their problems with drugs. Therefore, the rest of us should try to help them and make them realise that drugs are the wrong way.

The government must take part in new projects against these addictive sustances, since it is a very common trouble. Besides, Justice should be harder with drugs and make a new harder legislation.

Drugs are one of the most dangerous facts which is unshakable in our society, so we must fight together to eliminate them and build a stronger generation.

Sweet nightmares.

I was in a beautiful city near the beach with a wonderful job that I had found unawares. I had decided to stay in a nice hotel where the accomodation was great. I had been working for hours so I was so tired than I fell asleep very early. Suddenly, the shouts started and my fear appeared. I went to see what was happening and when I opened the door of my room, I saw a lot of smoke and many people who were screaming. The hotel was burning and I was more frightened than before. Later, I tried to keep calm and remember what I could do in that moment. Then,  I realised that I couldn´t leave my room because there was too smoke in the corridor, so I ran towards the balcony and I didn´t see any firefighter who could help me. I was just petrified when I thought that my only chance to survive would be jump from the balcony. Finally, I closed my eyes, breathed deeply and jumped.

I woke up.

Reality is hard but nightmares are powerful.

Opinion Paragraph: Cultural prices

At the present time, prices of books, films and CD´s are huge expensive. It is a big problem which has been increasing for the last years. Besides, there have been a lot of polemics against this fact, since many people can´t afford the situation because of the economical crisis and they are being taken the culture away from them. It must be changed due to the fact that everyone should have the chance to know all about history, tradition, art, etc.

Another important point is that taxes in Spain are to high and excessive. Therefore, it has impeded the developement of different types of art. For this reason, many enterprising people have a lot of difficulties to make their projects come true, so many amazing ideas have been destroyed.

The access of the culture must be achievable to everyone and Spain should start to invest much more money in culture because we have a great talent and originalily in our society.

We have to remind our cultural legacy and make an effort to progress all together.

My mum

In my last class of Prácticas de redacción I had to describe an important person for me.

When I think about the person who I love most, the image of my mum comes into my mind because she has always been next to me. My mum has given me whatever I´ve wanted and everything she has been able to provide.  She is the most generous person.

Besides, I have never met anyone so strong like her although she has had a hard life.

My mum couldn´t study but she is amazingly clever!

Many people say that I look after her and I am very proud about it because I would like to be like her in the future.

There are a lot of memories with my mum, but my favourite is one in which we were watching TV at night. Suddenly, I told her something funny and she started to laugh. This is the most special moment, since I feel comfortable, happy and safe when I think of it. I just feel at home.

She has a strength character because she can be a little bit rude. However, she is very lovely with me.

My mum is my largest treasure. She is the reason of who I am.
