Hi! I’m a native Spanish speaker from Spain. I am 45 years old and I have a fourteen-year-old daughter. and a seventeen-year-old son. I am looking for a female English friend to meet on Skype every week for 30 minutes or one hour, hopefully on Monday or tuesday morning. If you are a native English speaker living in Spain, this could work out great! I want to use our time to talk exactly 50% in English, and then switch and speak 50% in Spanish. I like talking about traveling, , human relationships, outer space, technology...! Send me a personal message if this sounds like what you are looking for.

    Could the Spanish health care system be better? It is widely believed that the Spanish healthcare is one of the best in the world and this is probably true, however there are some improvable aspects. There can be no doubts that the wait lists are by far the most important problem. If you have a serious disease you will tend to in a very short time. Nevertheless, if you have to see an specialist you will have to wait a year approximately. Speaking of time, we also have to take into account the waste of time in the waiting room before being taken care of and the short time your doctor has to assist you due to the oversaturated consultation. Of course, there are those who argue that if you want a quality healthcare you need to contract a private health insurance. Thing I think totally unnecessary. It is my view that we need more GPs and specialists in order to reduce the number of patients and waiting times. This could only be achieved if the government invested more money in health. In conclusion, the Spanish health system is one of the best in the world because of the quality of its specialists. Nonetheless, It could make it easily better to improve the waiting times and consultation.

    Email Hi Lucy: What surprise when I received your email. I would be very pleased of helping you with this subject. Recently, I found an interesting article related to this issue. I think that it would be very useful because there are some important differences between USA movement and a Spanish movement. The first would be that American women, who represent me too movement , are famous models and actress and in Spain they are anonymous victims of some type of crimes related with gender violence. The second Is that the wave of feminism started here in 2015 with a demonstration against male sexist. 337 feminism organizations supported that act. The most revelant was the great amount of young women who participated there. In 2016, there was a state agreement against gender violence and a new demonstration had place in order to get money to budget their political pact. It was a success, they got 200 million. In 2017, two court cases were followed by public opinion, Juana Rivas’ case, who suffered domestic abuse and was sentenced to 5 years in prison for kidnapping her children when she only tried To protect them. “La manada” case was very important too. A 18 years old young woman was raped and robbed by five adults men who recorded all the aggression with their mobile phones. Both cases has fired the mood , asking for an urgent reaction. I hope that my email will be useful for your next article , if you need some extra information , don’t hesitate to ask me. See you soon Nuria

    An opinion essay As far as I concerned, the chages produced in the last 15 years are notorious. Not only have we changed our way of working because of the new technologies, but also we have had to learn a new language in order to communicate with the youngest, the social media language. I am going to start with the changes that have taken place in work. Unemployment has increased dramaticaly due to the fact that new machines have reemplaced manual work and and amount of manual workers have lost their jobs. FurtherMore, people become pensioners later than fifteen years ago, They have to work until they are 67-68 years old. This has terrible consequences to young people because there are not enough jobs. Speaking about the changes produced by new technologies, we have to say that the social media has changed the way of communication between teenagers. 15 years ago, young people used to go to fast food restaurants to hang out with their friends, now, they prefer to speak each other through a screen when they are playing a video game. This new way of interaction has changed our society too. At the moment, it is impossible to have a conversation between parents and their adolescents children. In my opinion, new technologies are amazing but we have to know how to take advantage of them before the lack of communication has fatal consequences in our lives.

    A review: Divergent Divergen is a novel by American novelist Veronica Roth, published in 2011. This novel is the first of the Divergent trilogy. A thriller set in the future , in Chicago, in the USA.It was written for teenagers . However, It is fairly entertaining and gripping to everybody. The main characters in the novel are a couple, Beatrice Prior (Tris) and Four. They live in a society divided into five factions based on human virtues. She is from abnegation and has to decide her destiny in a ceremony , where she would change her faction deciding in favour of dauntless. When she arrives at her new home she meets Four, her instructor and they would start a relationship. She has to compete with her mates to get a position in the twenty first posts, fighting and training very hard for this.Because If she fails she will be a factionless. This book , as the mayority of teenagers bestsellers, has implausible parts. Nevertheless, It is a fast-moving story , mixing love and action, making an interesting cocktail.Despite having typical devices common to adventure books, for instance, several villains against the main characters. The novel is also highly original, speaking about factions and social experiments. Not only is it an intriguing story, but it is also a thrilling action-adventure novel. Furthermore, when you finish it, you want to start reading the second part immediatelly. I recommend this book in English because its vocabulary is not too hard and it is easy to read for non-natives.

    Could you correct me this, please? Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to complain about my experience which my family and I had from 10th to 17th of July at Westfield Hotel in Brighton. I am afraid to say that the stay did not live up to our expectations. First of all, according to the information on your website at the time of booking, the hotel had bar food in the evening. However, the kitchen and bar areas were being gone up and the hotel was now a B&B without any food except for breakfast. At this point, not only had we gone out with my kids, but it was also too late to find anywhere opened. This left us feeling extremely dissatisfied. Secondly, when we were sleeping, the builders started making a noise at 7:30 in the morning. My son who is only two years-old started crying and my daughter followed him. It was In my opinion, we could have been advised by the reception staff about this fact, in order to be prepared for it. Thirdly, when we tried to have the breakfast, we found that the kitchen was not opened and just cold food could be got. For the same reason we had to buy drinks and sandwiches for dinner at the supermarket because of inability of evening snacks in the hotel. I tried strongly to complain, but I could not to find the manager. Due to all of these, we believe that we are owned an apology and that we should receive some form of compensation. I look forward to hearing your views on this matter. Yours faithfully Hannah Jones

    Traducción - Tina Fey y Conan

    Entrevista original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pu96vFqgHw

    A: Vi la película “Mean Girls” hace dos noches. Me dieron una cinta ejemplar. Realmente me gustó.
    B: Gracias, Conan.
    A: Y en ese clip  justo ahí allí, tú sí que estás exponiéndote.
    B: Sí, solo quería mostrar mis desnudos durante los créditos de apertura ya. Solo estoy dándoles a los EE.UU lo que no quieren.
    A: Eso no es cierto.
    B: Y tengo el peor cuerpo en de la película porque estoy con otras cinco chicas de 17 años.
    A: Bueno, otra vez, eso no es cierto, pero sí hay muchas personas atractivas en esta película, y hace que me sienta acomplejado porque te muestran estas chicas muy calientes, pero también tienen 17 años y entonces empiezas a sentirte como un asqueroso si tienes que reconocer que son un poco atractivas y empiezas a llamarlas eso... ¿Me entiendes? Y de repente yo soy el bicho raro porque voy a los colegios  a las escuelas para saludarlas.

    very good job again!!!
