    Report INTRODUCTION The aim of this report is to: -Provide information about the studies young people do after leaving school -Analise the kind of jobs young people do after they leave school -Explain the sources I got the information from STUDIES YOUNG PEOPLE DO AFTER LEAVING SCHOOL The economic situation in my country is not good at the moment, which means there are few job vacances for too many people unemployed. The better the curriculum, the more possibilities to get a job are. Being in this situation, young people are forced to study more after leaving the school if they want to get a job. Therefore, students usually do a master after having finished their degrees or try to learn a new language, which the objective of having more chances to get the job they want. KINDS OF JOBS YOUNG PEOPLE DO AFTER LEAVING SCHOOL Young people usually do a training during or after leaving school. This training is frequently done in big companies, which are aware of how competitive is the job market and try to take advance of the situation by paying a little money to the trainees. Even worse, sometimes they do not pay anything, especially when the training is part of the course. WHERE I GOT THE INFORMATION FROM The main source where I got this information is my own experience. In spite of having studied law for six years and studying English, I still have problems to find a proper job in my country. My situation is not isolate and I met a lots of students which are in the same situation as me, working in another country or studying a Master, just to have more chances to get a job. CONCLUSION The economic crisis is reflected on the job opportunities. Young people need to be more and more prepared if they want to highlight on the job interviews. In my opinion it is unfair for all the students that have recently finished their degrees and the government should help to improve the current situation and stop “free-training” jobs.

    Corrections please, I'm going to do the CAE exam in few days!! Advantages of digital and computer technology in everyday life Digital and computer technology have enormously changed people’s lives. People use new technology everyday and probably lot of them can’t live without it. Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone, a computer or a tablet. But how the use of these devices has influenced people in their everyday lives? Has it influenced in a good or in a bad way?. Well, this last question is difficult to answer and I shouldn’t generalise, so in my opinion computer technology has influenced people in both ways. Firstly, new technology has changed the way we communicate with other people. Few decades ago the only way possible to communicate with others was by telephone or letter. Send a letter was a slower way to communicate than the telephone, but also more personal. Telephones were connected inside the houses and the majority of families couldn’t afford one, so they had to go to someone’s house to make a call. Indeed, making a call was faster than sending a letter, but you didn’t have real privacy. However, now everyone owns a mobile phone, so you don’t need to share it with anyone and be worried about whether someone is listen to your conversation. Also, you can carry it everywhere and send messages or make calls whenever you want. Secondly, another advantage of computer technology is being able to shop online and to have a huge variety of services. That means you can usually get things cheaper, faster and easier than in a normal shop because using a website companies reduce costs and it is reflected on the price. We can also avoid long queues when shopping in a store unlike online shopping. To summarise, in my opinion digital and computer technology have made easy to buy things and have helped us to communicate with family and friends, or communicate through devices at least, because one thing we can notice nowadays is that almost everyone uses their phones instead of having a normal conversation. As I said before, it is difficult to say whether the influence is good or bad and, anyway, I'm not going to criticise people’s behavior, everyone should decide the kind of lifestyle they want to have.

    Mi futuro

    En Octubre (espero) comienza mi Erasmus en España. Estoy muy nervioso y emocionado, pero creo que va a ser una buena experiencia y estoy de miedo. Va a ser la primera vez que voy a estar en una casa que no es mía, mi primera vez solo, sin amigos y familia. Pero para mi no es un algo que quiera hacer, sino algo que necesito hacer. Es un solo una oportunidad en la vida y quiero pasármelo bien. 
    Después no se exactamente que quiero hacer. A lo largo de mi vida quiero viajar y quizás sea el tiempo perfecto para visitar Sudamérica. Para mi es un precioso contiente y me gusta fútbol, en argentina es muy imporante jugar al futbol, el “superclásico”: River plate contra Boca Juniors. También quiero ¿ver pero el jugar es un grande rivalidad, futbolistas tiene una carta de rojo? DONT UNDERSTAND.

    Me gusta el ambiente que hay cuando se juega al futbol y la rivalidad es grande, creo que el ambiente es increíble.
    Por supuestout futbol no es la única razón por la que quiero viajar a Sudamérica, sino también quiero ver lugares de interés. Por ejemplo, Machu Picchu, las Montañas de Colombia o ¡las selvas! y no se el nombre en español pero El Cristo Redentor ¡es increíble para mi! Para mi Sudamérica es interesante y preciosa, con la oportunidad de probar diferentes tipos de comida y ver diferentes estilos de vida. Espero que hablar español me ayude.



    Después no se, es demasiado tiempo en el futuro. Creo que quiero ser maestro en el futuro pero por es definitivo, necesito estudiar mucho y ahora mismo no quiero. Estoy un poco vago, pero no quiero estar en una fabrica toda mi vida?, es muy aburrido. No se que quiero enseñar ni si voy a ser un maestro,  pero tampoco lo necesito saber ahora, tengo mucho tiempo!

    El vaquero urbano

    No debería meterse con un vaquero a caballo. Un ladrón de bicicletas aprendió la lección esta semana en el estado de Oregón, EE.UU.

    Suena como una escena sacada de alguna película de vaqueros, sin embargo el incidente no sucedió en el salvaje oeste, sino que tuvo lugar en el aparcamiento de un centro comercial. Al salir del supermercado, una mujer vio a un ladrón robando su bici, y empezó a gritar. Un hombre que estaba cerca oyó sus gritos y de inmediato montó su caballo que guardaba ensillado dentro de su remolque.

    Armado con solo una cuerda, el héroe persiguió al perpetrador y lo capturó enlazándolo con la soga. Los testigos del acto se quedaron asombrados al ver lo que pasó mientras sacaban fotos con sus móviles.

    Resulta que el hombre que detuvo el ladrón es un vaquero profesional. Estaba de camino a California y se había parado en el centro comercial para comprar alimentos. Utiliza un lazo a diario en su trabajo, así que no le presentó ningún problema capturar al ladrón.


    Muy buen español. Enhorabuena :)

    Replying to a friend's message Dear Caroline, It's good to hear from you again. I'm really sorry for the delay in writing you back, but I've been very busy the last couple of weeks. As you know, I’m working and studying english at the same time, and I haven’t got a proper break until now. My boss asked me to do a project and I’ve been working on it since then. I usually work better under pressure, so I finished it the same day which the deadline was. To be quite honest, I read your message few days ago, but I’ve been doing such a lot of things that I completely forgot to reply you before. I hope you could forgive me for that. I’ve been thinking about doing the CAE exam and finally I decided to book it. Now that I've finished the project I can focus on improving my english. The exam is a bit difficult but I hope I can pass it. What about you? Do you have any plans after you finish your training at the hotel? Do you like working at the recepción desk or would you like to work somewhere else? I know you well and I think you must enjoy being at the reception desk, talking and meeting new people everyday. Have you got any plans for this holidays? I’ve been thinking of visiting Maria this summer and it would be nice if you come with us and be all gathered again. Let me know what do you think about it. Kind regards Veronica

    Hola! En España no se llaman idioms, se llaman refranes o frases hechas. Hay miles, y no son realmente cortas. Si me dijeses en qué contexto necesitas hablas, yo te puedo decir algunos "idioms" que se me ocurren ahora:

    - Hacer la pelota a alguien (butter someone up)

    - Tomar el pelo a alguien (to tease someone)


    let me know if you want to know a idiom in an especific context

    The importance of keeping in touch with people Humans are sociable, therefore, people like having the company of other people to talk about their life’s issues and to share their feelings and thoughts with someone else. In my opinion it’s very important to keep in touch with people, not only because is our nature, but also because it’s good for keeping our minds healthy and not having physiological problems. Moreover, there are lots of stories about people who have been alone for a long time as a consequence of a catastrophe, such as a shipwrecked survivor on a isolated island, and they end up developing a strange behavior. These are the reasons I think people need to be in touch with their family, friends and to meet new people. Nowadays keeping in touch with people is easier than before. Thanks to new technology, we can send messages through the social media to people all over the world, and they will receive these messages in a few seconds. But not only messages, we can also share pictures and live videos, having the possibility of watching the person you are talking to. Some decades ago it was unimaginable, and it took a long time to communicate with someone, even more if the person was living in other country. I’ve been living in different countries and I know firsthand how much do I miss my family and friends when I'm far away from home and the importance of keeping in touch with the people you care about. Is because of that I find the social media absolutely necessary to keep in touch with the people I love.

    Spanish: Could you check this e-mail ?

    Sorry for no accents.

    Hola !
    Escribo para decirte lo que voy a hacer la semana siguiente. En premier lugar, visitaré a mis padres porque no los he visto en mucho tiempo. Después, iré con mis amigos a por una cerveza. Intento descansar mucho porque este año ha sido difícil. ¿Que harás la semana siguiente?
    Con amor,
    Gosia

    Puede usar "la semana que viene" en lugar de "la semana siguiente", así como cambiar el orden de las palabras "la siguiente semana", para evitar repetir la misma frase. En general bien. 

    Un saludo
