Advantages and disadvantages the internet has brought to young people
Today the most of the young people have access to the internet. They were born in a time that the use of the internet was normal everyday in every house, so for the most of them the internet is as normal as the air to breathe.
Firstly, the young people can take advantage of the internet, and get all the information that they want. Today is easy to know everything about history, maths, sciences, etc. Furthermore, the way of communication has changed too. They can talk with somebody in the other side of the world at anytime, so for example, this does easier the practice of other languages.
In contrast, a lot of false information can be found in the internet. In addition to this, frequently the internet is used by criminals to take advantage of young people and children.
To sum up, the internet can be an useful tool to the young, but adults, parents and teachers, must teach them how they can do a convenient use of the internet without take risks.

Local food
The topic of “Local food” often cause a great deal of discussion. Every time there are more people that think we must come back to small-scale farming, but at the same time detractors think that would be impossible to supply every one with locally grown food.
A positive aspect is that local food could have an important effect on local economies, and could be an income source in rural areas. In addition, other of the advantages is that local food is near of the consumers and doesn’t travel by air or do long road journeys, so food is more fresh and conserved more vitamins and other nutrients. People that support this cause says that the flavor is better too, and some of them even say that eat this food improve the health.
On the other hand, no all foods can be grown in every place, so there is a lot products which must be import from others countries. Other negative aspect is nowadays most people want to have a huge choice of products all year around, and local food is limited to season. Furthermore, in the big cities people usually buy at supermarkets and only some of them has local food.
In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages about local food movement. In my opinion, getting a balance between local and import food would be beneficial for the most.

My mother used to say that she need got away some days to not do anything. She got out of homeworks for somedays, and this put her in a good mood.
We would be very happy when we set off our journey, with the car full.
We used to get up early and we went down to the dining room to have breakfast. Usually the breakfast was buffet style, my sister and me lovely that, we could chose what eat and our parents left us.
Every morning we went to the beach, where we played and swam. After to have a lunch, my parents used to take a nap and my sisters and me went into the hotel’s pool.

If you won the lottery, would you go public? Pros and cons of winning the lottery?
As I see it, lottery winnes shouldn´t receive publicity.
On the one hand, it is possible people who you didn’t have a relationship before you win, after that, they may be friendlier with you, and it could head you off compromising situations.
On the other, you could become objective to bad people like thieves or raiders, so the publicity could be even danger.
These are the main drawback to win the lottery, in my opinion.
To my mind, the main advantage is that you could do the really you want, spend your time in it really like you.
If I win the lottery I’ll never go public, only I’ll tell to my closer family and friends.

Improve Phrasal verbs to do with travel.
My last holidays
After the wedding we needed to get away, so two days later we set off our honey moon.
Our first destination went Las Vegas. We set off from Madrid, where we live. The plane took off at 10:30 a.m. and landed in London two hours later, we stopped over there some hours.
After a flight of nine hours we got in to Las Vegas, the sin city, at 11:00 p. m. local hour, and it was very hot.
Some months ago we booked us into a Hotel by internet. The Hotel was near of ones of the principal of the city tourist areas. The relation quality-price of this hotel wasn’t bad but when we checked out they charged the bill twice in our credit card. Finally we could solve this incident but at the beginning we were very angry.
