MY LAST SUBJECT It was my last subject to finish my degree. I was working all the time while I was studying and this is the reason why I needed more than five years to finish it. But finally, the D day had arrived. I left home and when I arrived at my car, I tried to turn it on, nevertheless, it was impossible. I tried two, three and four more times but it didn't work. At that moment I wanted to die. I was devastated and I was pretty terrified to arrive late to my last exam. I needed urgently help and suddenly, as a miracle answer to my prayers, one policeman appeared. I asked help to him and he after watched the car said that was a problem with its battery but that he could not do anything else due to he didn't have jump leads. He said "The police cars have jump leads", then I prayed for seeing one and, again like a miracle, one police car appeared. This police stopped that car and three policemen helped me to solve the problem. When the car started on I felt the happier person in the world, it was an incredible experience, I was in the hell and come back to heaven. Obviously, I could have called my car insurance though if I had done it, I would have had to wait for the crane and I would not have arrived on time. Thanks to these officers I could make the exam and, the best of all was that in the end, I passed it. At last, I get my degree.

Technology (thanks por your comments) I'm going to talk about technologies. Some people like technologies and others hate it. If you ask me, I particularly love them, consequently, I always see the advantages before the drawbacks. There have been huge invents in the last thirty, forty years that they have changed our way to live. From my point of view, two of the most important are mobile phones and the Internet. Thanks to them Firstly, you can have a phone, a clock, an alarm, a scanner, a calendar, a complete collection of songs, books or maps, a radio, a camera of photos, a tv all in your palm of your hand with a smartphone. You have almost an office in your hands, and for the people, especially business people, it's very useful. Secondly, they are the fastest means of communication, we can easily contact our relatives and friends and sometimes it can save our lives in the case that we have an accident. Finally, with The Internet, you can see the relatives or friends who live in other countries, the world is smaller and smaller. In addition, you can learn online at your rhythm where, how and the time that you want Moreover, you can watch TV programs, listen to music, read books, newspapers and so on. They have disadvantages, of course, mainly for the young people. The teenagers spend too much time chatting with people that they don't meet and it could be dangerous. To sum up, mobile phones are necessary in our modern lives today. However, whether it is helpful or not, depends on our way of using it.

Review book (thanks a lot for your prompt review) Book "la saga de los Longevos" It was written in Alicante by Eva Garcia Saenz. Eva worked at the University of Alicante, the place where I am working at this moment, and I had some curiosity about how would be the book. The book tells the history of a family, where his members cannot die. The historical novel, romance, science fiction, and thriller come together to create a unique book. The story is very well dosed to leave the reader in tension and wanting to know more. For me was gripping and currently, it's a bestseller. Nevertheless, talking with another workmate about this book, he told me that he didn't like it. He started to read it but he cannot finish it, moreover, from his point of view, the book is plenty of the typical topics of each genre. To finish, you have two different opinions about the same book. Maybe my opinion is not totally objective because of that Eva was my workmate.

Complaint letter (thanks for your reviews) Dear Sir/ Madam, I am writing to complain about a holiday which I booked with your travel agency three weeks ago. I traveled to Ibiza on 25th July and returned on 5th August. I thought it would be a dream holiday, however, it has been my worst trip ever. Firstly, I booked for all-inclusive, but we had to pay for the dinner. Secondly, the hotel in your brochure was close to the beach, but we had to take a bus to arrive there, moreover, our room was extremely small and without overlooking the beach. Finally, the hotel didn't have an indoor heated pool, fully equipped gym, sauna or whirlpool neither parking for guest such you commented us. I feel cheated. For all these reasons, I am extremely dissatisfied, and I would like a full refund of four hundred euros Please do not hesitate to contact to me if you require further information. I am looking forward to your prompt response. Yours faithfully,, Maria Garcia

A bad habit (thanks for your revision) Over the years, tastes, fashions, and customs have changed. Something considered good, interesting or fashionable in the past, nowadays is considered a bad habit, for example, to smoke Several years ago, people who smoked were intelligent, beautiful, amazing, cool, the heroes in the films. Nevertheless, in the present moment, to smoke is considered a fairly awful habit. It started as a cool thing to do with my friends. I felt an older and pretty interesting person. I smoked in everywhere, at the disco, at the restaurants, at the job and at every time. One day I listened to a TV program the terrible effects of to smoke during years and this was my turning point. I knew I had to turn my life around and break out this bad habit. Since that moment I tried to drop up the tobacco, but it was pretty hard and sadly I came back to smoke two times. I had a huge willpower to drop out this bad habit and finally, I got it Let me finish by saying that stop smoking was one of the best decisions that I could take. If it weren’t for that TV program, I’d still be smoking. I don't smoke since sixteen years ago and I feel incredibly well.

One film: The changeling. Thanks a lot for your revision The Changeling (original title) is a Canadian psychological horror film directed by Peter Medak and starring George C. Scott and Trish Van Devere. Its screenplay is based on events that writer Russell Hunter claimed he experienced while he was living in a mansion in Denver. This movie was shot in 1980 and the story takes place in Seattle and New York. Nowadays it's considered like a masterpiece in films about enchanted houses and supernatural horror fiction by the criticism. The plot is a really interesting mystery (quite spooky): a prominent composer lost all his family in a traffic accident. To forget this tragedy and continue writing music, he decides to move to an old solitary house. In this house happens a lot of mysterious facts, like strange sounds and open doors. Finally, he discovers a secret room at the end of the stairs which contains a child's wheelchair and he decides to investigate the history of the house. I saw this film a lot of years ago, when I was a child, and will never forget it. This movie is gripping since the beginning. Although I was terrified I could not stop watching the movie because I was very intrigued and I wanted to know what had happened in that old house. It's a psychological fear built with sound and imagery rather than scares or bloody images Let me finish by saying that if you have not seen The Changeling, it comes highly recommended. You shouldn't miss it!
