INTERNET Today, computers and the Internet have become key elements in the lives of most people. For many, it's hard to imagine a world without his smartphone, without WhatsApp or without email. In my life, computers play a fundamental role. Besides the PC is my working tool, thanks to the Internet I can do many things easier than before. For example, I can look up a job, update my design portfolio on specialized websites, communicate with friends and colleagues, keep up to date with news about design and architecture, etc. And, of course, I can also listen music via streaming and watch online series. Now, I rarely watch the TV. And, why not say, I love social networks. I think they offer a great way to keep in touch both friends and unknown people who have interests or hobbies in common. They allow sharing knowledge in an almost infinitely. With Twitter, for example, you can know the news almost the minute they happen, long before they appear in any newspaper. that's fantastic! But my favorite is undoubtedly, Pinterest. In this social network all art and design professionals can find a great source of inspiration. However, social networks also have important disadvantages. On the one hand, our privacy is more and more compromised and, on the other hand, every time we have less personal contact with our loved ones. We hardly talk on the phone and when we meet with our friends for coffee, the mobile phones and WhatsApp are as protagonists as the conversation, that is something really sad!

WORKING YOUR IDEAL JOB My ideal job would be one wherein I enjoyed doing what I like. A job that made me get up every morning eager to go to work. My dream is to work in something related to architecture or design. When I graduated I wanted to work in an architectural office or to run my own studio. Today, however, reality has made me change my mind. I consider others alternatives related to design and I've also liked, for example, I would love to work in an interior design or graphic design studio or in an ephemeral architecture firm. If I had to say a job that I'd never do, maybe I'd say doctor. I think I'm not qualified for that job. I couldn't see every day sick people, it would be very depressing for me. Furthermore, I don't like either blood, or needles, or the smell of hospitals. I think being a doctor has to provide moments of great personal satisfaction, but a doctor also has to live many painful and sad situations. Definitely, it's a job that requires true vocation. IMPORTANT THINGS IN YOUR JOB Regarding too issues that I consider fundamental in a job, one of the things more important for me is having a good relationship with your boss and your co-workers. It's also very good that the working day lets you free time to enjoy with your family and friends and getting away a little. I've read some studies about large companies which have implemented intensive working day in its workplaces, with timetables form 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. for example, and the results show an increase in productivity. I think the happiness of the workers is essential, an employee who is happy in his job is an employee who will perform more. After all, workers are the most important capital of a company. RUN A BUSINESS If the situation for entrepreneurs and self-employed in Spain was easier, I'd love to run my own company. I'd create a firm of home decor with small thinks and nice stationery products designed by me that I'd sell online. I love illustration and pattern design. I'd like print my drawings in many kinds of objects such as fabrics, notebooks, calendars, posters, pillows, clutches, etc. This job would allow me to work from home and get a better work-life balance. Moreover, I could choose how my own office would be. I'd select a bright and airy room, with a simply decor, nordic furnitures, plenty of storage and a large desk with, of course, an iMac (since I exchanged Windows for Mac everything has been much easier!) A nice place to design nice things!

EDUCATION WHAT WOULD YOU STUDY IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO COLLEGE If I could go back to college, I'm not sure if I'd study architecture again. I don't regret having studied architecture, because despite the difficulties and poor working conditions that architects have today in Spain, my time as a university student has been the best in my life. However, if I were 18 years old now, I'd study telecommunications, computer engineering or even teaching. Perhaps my life would be easier today, but also probably more boring. YOUR BEST YEAR AT SCHOOL Undoubtedly, one of my best years wasn't at school but in college. It was my first year in the School of Architecture. I remember it in a special way. It was the first year I lived alone, my first year in a big city and the year when I met some of my best friends now. It was also a difficult year. The change with respect to secondary school was abrupt, teachers in college are much more demanding and I learnt what are long nights working and those moments when the sun rises and you realize that it's time to turn off the light. However, I wouldn't change that year for anything. SOMETHING YOU LEARNED AT SCHOOL At school you learn to read and write, to add and subtract and this type of things. But I'm an architect and I think that we see the life in a little bit special way. Architecture is a degree unlike any other, long hours in the workshops with your colleagues and group works allow you making real friends and learning to combine work and friendship. On the other hand, in the School of Architecture I learned to appreciate every detail, to be curious and investigate everything and above all, to be always a little more demanding with myself and my work. SOMETHING YOU LEARNED OUT OF SCHOOL Outside of school you can learn many things more important than at school. Outside of school I've learned that the duties and responsibilities you've when you're a student are nothing compared with those you'll have later. I've learned how to be difficult is to earn a salary and pay bills. That life isn't fair many times. That, although some people have luck, normal people have to strive every day to get what they want and that we should learn from our mistakes. I've learned to make the most free time. But mostly, I've learned to appreciate the truly important things and try to care less about the insignificant things.

FUTURE SPAIN IN 100 YEARS TIME I think Spain will be a very different place in 100 years time. Science and technology will have progressed much, despite the current cuts in research and development, and life of people will be easier in many aspects. Although I think the oil supply won't disappear, many people will drive solar powered cars and they will live in energy efficient homes. Scientists will have found a cure for many diseases but new ones will have appeared caused by new lifestyle. For example, many workers will need help of psychologist to treat diseases because of stress caused by work schedules. In relation to population, Spain is a country that is aging quickly, where families have fewer children. For this reason, I think it will decrease the number of residents unless the Government promotes family conciliation. LIVING ON OTHERS PLANETS Regarding to life on others planets, I don't know what thinking. Space is so big and could be others planets similar to Earth where life exists but, I don't believe I discover it soon. I can't imagine how would be living on another planet in the future. I think one of the main differences with the Earth would be the weight of people, due to different gravitational action of the planets. We would weigh less and we could jump highest on the smallest planets. Another important difference, maybe the most important, is the atmosphere. If a planet don't have an atmosphere appropriate to our specific needs, we will need an artificial source of oxygen to breathe. And finally, the planet should be to a reasonable distance, neither too close nor too far from the nearest star, and have moreover a fairly regular orbit to thermal changes along it wouldn't be too abrupt. In my opinion, this experience could be very interesting but quite dangerous too. A SCIENCE FICTION FILM Avatar is a science fiction film that takes us to a world of imagination and epic adventures. The film, directed by James Cameron, uses a revolutionary technology and a new generation of special effects. Avatar tells the Jake Sully's story. Jake is a ex marine in a wheelchair that is recruited to travel to Pandora, a strange planet where a rare mineral is being mined to solve the energy crisis on Earth. Because the atmosphere of Pandora is toxic, they're created the Avatar Program. An Avatar is a biological body controlled remotely that can survive in the lethal air.

Spanish Cinema I like cinema so much, but, in general, I prefer reading. I think books are usually better than their films equivalent because they describe better all places, situations and characters and you can get into the story more easily. Although I really enjoy with spanish cinema, I prefer foreign films, but, I recognise there are many excellent spanish filmmakers and the spanish cinema is one of the best in Europe. A lot of actors and directors have succeeded around the world and they are making films as good as many Hollywood films or even better. One of my favorite spanish films are "The Imposible" or "The Others". "The Imposible" is a blockbuster directed by J. A. Bayona and starring Naomi Watts and Ewan Mc Greggor. The main characters are a spanish couple and their three children who is enjoying their holidays in Thailand when, one day, while they're swimming in the pool, they're surprised by a tsunami. After the disaster the family is separated. On the one hand, the father and his two youngest children try to find their family while the mother must struggle for her eldest son survival and his own. The film is based on real events and recreates the Indian Ocean tsunami that killed over 200.000 people in 2004. "The Imposible" was nominated for many international awards, including the Oscar and Golden Globe and, in Spain, it was shown at the San Sebastian Film Festival, one of the most prestigious festivals in the country, where it received the rave review.

Social classes in Spain In Spain, the vast majority of citizens is divided into middle class and working class. Only a minority of population belongs to upper class and aristocracy. However, this minority has a wealth equivalent to 16 percent of the GPD of Spain. You can recognise these people because they usually practise sports such as sailing, riding or golf in social clubs, they wear posh clothes of very expensive brands and obviously, because many of them are very famous, both here and abroad. For example, Amancio Ortega, the Zara's owner, is now the man richest in Spain. But he always wasn't wealthy, like for example, the Duchess of Alba. We can say then, there are two types of rich, people who were born rich and those who became rich with theirs jobs. In the last months, there have been in Spain many protest and demonstrations against the government and its cutbacks in social services. A lot of people don't have job because of crisis and social and economic inequality is bigger each time. A consequence of this was the 15M, a very big public protest organised through social networks that concentrated a large number of citizens in a famous square in the centre of Madrid. People said to Government: "Enough is enough!", "We are fed up with cutbacks and corruption", "We want a quality public Education and Health an you can't save Banks with the money of families". As far as I'm concerned this situation is unsustainable. Poors are poorer and richs are richer. We had one of the best Public Health in the world and they are killing it. Many middle-class people have to assist at Charity social canteens, etc. In conclusion, I think Spain need a change urgently.

DRUGS AND SPORTS In my opinion, the drugs are good for nobody. However, many athletes take drugs to improve their performance. Certainly, if some substances non injurious to health was legal, the scientists would be able to research more about them and making safer their consumption. But, in the other hand, any artificial substance is bad for the organism. Although some of them, such us medicines, are necessary sometimes, we shouldn't avoid to take drugs unless this is necessary, even more if we are athletes. Taking drugs to win a competition is cheating and ilegal. It isn't ethic.

Traditional family My family is a traditional family. Only one of my aunts is separated, but she never got divorced from her husband. Nobody in my family is single parent for now and all my cousins, who have children, are married. Only my sister and I live with our boyfriend, but we aren't married. And my family is very big! At present, neither my brothers nor I live at home with our parents. We left home when we started at University and we've been living away for several years. When I finished my studies, I had to return home because I was unemployed but, luckily, this situation didn't last long because I found a job soon. Despite these traditional customs, there are many differences between the three generations in my family. For example, my grandparents got married when they were 20 years old and they had been together for 60 years. My grandfather worked while my grandmother ran the house. However, my parents got married when they were 30 years old and both work. And me... I have 30 years old and I don't think I get married soon!

Older People in my country Nowadays, because of the increase of the average life expectancy and good life conditions, people are living longer than before and their health is better. You can see many pensioners practising different sports, working out, strolling or enjoying new hobbies. For example, fishing, yoga, water aerobics, playing dominoes or cards and surfing on the internet are very commons activities in old age. This is fantastic! In Spain, older people usually spend a lot of time with their family. Many men and women in their eighties or nineties are looked after by their children when their health get worse. Unfortunately, with the current crisis situation, some of them also have to collaborate to the home economics with their pensions when their children are unemployed. In the other hand, work is a cause of many people can't take care of their parents and they have to live in Senior Centers. It's the sad reality. But luckily, the vast majority of Spanish retirees have a pension, no enough in many cases, but they have it. I hope we can have one in the future.
