- 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.May 20, 201320

A veces debemos escuchar a los niños
Hoy, el mundo tiene muchos problemas como pobreza, desnutrición, analfabetismo y violencia armada.
Hoy el mundo tiene muchos problemas como la pobreza, la desnutrición, el analfabetismo y la violencia armada.Ahora, más que nunca, la violencia con armas de fuego parece ser habitual en las noticias. En los EE.UU. las armas de fuego han ocasionado muchas tragedias recientemente y no parece haber un consenso sobre cuál debe ser la solución.
Sin embargo, un chico de 7 años de edad en los EE.UU. escribió al Vicepresidente, Joe Biden, una carta en la que planteaba una solución simple para hacer el mundo más seguro. La carta sugería que si las armas dispararan balas de chocolate entonces nadie resultaría herido.
El lunes, el estudiante recibió una sorpresa cuando una respuesta por escrito a mano por Vicepresidente Biden llegó. La carta dijo :
El lunes el estudiante se llevó una sorpresa al recibir una carta de puño y letra del propia Vicepresidente Biden. La misma decía:
Querido Myles Siento mucho haber tardado tanto en contestar a tu carta. Me gusta mucho tu idea. Si tuviéramos armas que dispararan chocolate, no sólo nuestro país sería más seguro, también sería más feliz. A la gente le encanta el chocolate.
Eres un buen chico.
Joe Biden
A veces, pienso que el mundo sería un mejor lugar si escucháramos a nuestros hijos más.
En español solemos decir un lugar mejor, aunque un mejor lugar también es correcto. En inglés va siempre primero el adjetivo, en español lo normal es poner primero el nombre y después el adjetivo.
Muy buen ejercicio. Tienes un muy buen nivel de español, solo falta pulir las estructuras y sobre todo el subjuntivo, que es un poco difícil. Enhorabuena!!

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.May 15, 201330
Un día de compras
Hoy he llevado a mi esposa a hacer unas compras. Hemos ido a ‘Boundary Mill’, una tienda colosal. Es un tienda con precios económicos especializada en ropa para hombre y mujer. También hay un departamento estupendo de artículos de cocina. Mi esposa ha comprado tres pares de botas de moda, así como algunas blusas. Yo he comprado un molde para hornear pasteles.
Mañana vendrán unos amigos a cenar con nosotros por lo que voy a hacer un estafado de carne. De camino a casa hemos llamado (o hemos ido) al supermercado para comprar los ingredientes.0 votedFebruary 17, 20130Un paseo guiado
Mañana guiaré a un grupo en un paseo por la reserva natural en Brockholes, cerca de la ciudad de Preston. Nos encontraremos en el centro de información donde daré unos consejos acerca de la salud y la seguridad.
La previsión del tiempo para mañana parece buena así que espero que podamos ver muchos pájaros en los lagos y bosques. Es demasiado pronto para las primeras flores de la primavera pero acabo de empezar un nuevo curso para poder identificar las diferentes especies que desconozco.0 votedFebruary 17, 20130- 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.February 17, 201331
- 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.February 10, 201320
- 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.February 10, 201320
