What are the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies?
I am going to summarize the main pros and cons of some technologic items like computers, mobile phones or internet.
As a general rule, its main advantage is that technologies are capable of making life easier. For instance, internet allows you to communicate to someone anywhere in the world in a few seconds. An additional advantage is that this items provide access to information to private individuals who only need a mobile phone or a computer with an internet connection.
However, technology is mixed blessing. Its main disadvantage is that people more and more are becoming over dependent on computers and cannot seem to function without it.
To sum up, technology advances show people a more efficient way to do things but we should not forget to do it by ourselves.

The Spanish sense of humour
To start with, it is necessary to explain that, in the same way that in England, the sense of homour changes depending on the region of the country in which you are. For instance, there is a sense of humour catalan properly, characterized by a serious and ironic way of telling jokes.
Andalucia, another Spanish region, is known for the gladness of its people, the andalusians, who are known to be funny. However, the truth is that all of these are little more than stereotypes.
According to an article on the topic, the Spanish like jokes about politics and black humour, above all.
In my opinion, the greater sign of intelligence is to be able to laugh at yourself.

My life
I was born on 2nd june of 1976 in a small town located in the north of the country. We lived in a small house, so I had to share my room with my two sisters. When I was at the school, I met a new classmate who played guitar very well. At this time I was fourteen years old and since then not a day has passed without I play guitar. Besides good music I have always liked traveling. When I finished secondary school I found my self doing nothing so I decided to do a long trip. I had heard about Kibbuts, so I went to Israel. I was living there for six month. It was an unforgettable experience and it made me want to know other cultures. Since then I have travelled a lot. I am currently living in Spain.

A complaint letter
Dear Mr Thomann
I am writing to complain about the staff and service at your Music Store in London. In very angry indeed about the treatment I have received. Just one week ago, I bought a Fender Stratocaster Limited Edition. A week later I realized that the neck was twisted so I went back to the shop to complain, I was very surprised when the clerk told me that this was not a manufacturing problem and he could not change this guitar for a new one.
I worked hard to save money to get this guitar, I can't afford to buy a new one. I have not ruled out the possibility of taking legal action against your company. Please can you look into this matter and give me a solution to my problem?
I hope to hear from you shortly.
Yours sincerely
Diego.

Money
I think we spend too much Money on things we don´t really need. I don´t know why, in spite of realizing how much Money we spend on this kind of things, we still throwing away our Money buying unnecessary products. For example, I allways buy some product displayed at the supermarket check-out, like batteries, because I think I may need it in a near future. Moreover ,I spend a lot of Money on more expensive brands instead of trying cheaper ones.
I have a friend who buys all the exotic products that he finds, the problem is he usually doesn´t like them.
In my opinión, we are all victims of the marketing clout.

I would like...
I think I would like to live in America, in the USA, particularly.
I am convinced that the US is a exiting country to live during a few years. I think so because it seems to me there is a great diversity of landscapes and ways of live to choose.
I would like to live in NYC for one or two years and then move to somewhere in California for another two years or something like that.
After living this amazing experience I would like to come back to my homeland.

Environmental problems
The main environmental problem discussed in Spain is, of course, animal rights.
It is clear that other issues like pollution, waste or global warming are utmost importance.
The reason why animal rights are discussed more than the others issues is because in that country we have bullfights.
Bullfighting raise passions and hatreds. Moreover, Catalonia, a region of Spain, after various protest campaigns, have banned bullfighting in its territory.
In conclusion, even though global warming is a real and an inminent problem, the most discussed area for the general public is definitely animals.
