    A quick essay: Students, not the state, should pay university tuition fees. We tend to compare our education system against other countries’ systems. It is believed that countries such as Norway or Germany have a better educational system than us, and even so free. There are other countries, like the USA, where students have to pay their fees and they reach a high education level too. Here in Spain, we are just in the middle, so the big question is, should the students, not the state, pay their university tuition fees? Currently, the budget is very limited in Spain, and the money raised from taxes is not enough if we want to maintain a good level of education. If students paid for their tuition fees, this problem would be solved. In addition to this, having a university free for everyone may lower its value. If people don’t have to pay for something, they may end up forgetting its value. Moreover, in Spain people just go to the university because “they are told to do it” and then they realize they don’t want to study, or they want to study something completely different because they haven’t thought it thoroughly. On the other hand, we need a society with a high level of education, and some people will be kept out of the university if they have to pay for it. Bright students with not enough money won’t be able to study. However, a fair grant system could be a solution in case that everyone had to pay for their tuition fees. One example to support this would be the USA, where bright students could apply and usually get a grant. To summarize, both ways are going to work if they are implemented carefully and take all the points described above into account. My personal opinion is that students should pay tuition fees as long as we have a good grant system to give the same opportunities to everyone.

    For and Against Essay Freegans In our world, half of the society has to consume to be someone, half of the world throw away every day enough food to feed the whole world during two days. In the meanwhile, the other half of the world is starving and doesn’t have access to the most basic needs. The Freeganism is an alternative movement which is against that way of life. Firstly, the roots of the Freegan movement are respectable, even obvious. It is against the usage of animals to develop cosmetic products, against the human exploitation and against unsustainable consumption of natural resources. It is against today’s society. On the other hand, I think the movement is radical in some points, like not buying in supermarkets. If no one bought in supermarkets they would not exist, and it would force us to go back to times where we grown our own food. Times where a lot of people doesn’t want to go back To sum up, Freegan Movement has some points that we can adopt in our every day life, but most of them are just an utopia.

    Pensamientos sobre el documental sobre el bombardeo de Gernika

    Creo que el documental sobre el bombardeo de Gernika fue muy informativo. En primer lugar me da vergüenza decir que sabia tan poco sobre la masacre. Al saber mas del ataque me recuerda como la guerra deshumaniza una persona (Aprender sobre el ataque pienso que la guerra deshumaniza a las personas). Hay tanta violencia que una persona le puede infligir a otra persona si se haya olvidado o no pueda sentir la empatía (esta frase está un poco rara. Quizá: Es mucha la violencia que una persona le puede infligir a otra persona si se olvida o no puede sentir empatía).

    Las guerras están llenas de la crueldad que viene de las experiencias experimentadas (experiencias experimentadas -> vivencias) en la guerra en si misma. Y cuando uno expirimenta más crueldad y más violencia parece que esa persona quien sea, entonces sea capaz de peretuar este odio y dolor que es la guerra.

    Lo ridículo es que hay reglas de luchar (reglas de guerra) que se consideran nobles, y por otro lado hay crimenes de guerra también. ¿Cuantas personas se pueden (personas es plural) matar sin cometer un crimen (crimen es masculino)? Y ¿hay una manera justa matar una persona en la guerra? Y ¿qué es justo? ¿Es justo que un lado tenga accesso a todos los recursos y por otro lado utilice los recursos que tiene disponibles? Pero es suficiente decir que de ninguna manera puede devolverse la vide a una persona muerte. Y la muerte trae el dolor y la sangre y la deshumanidad (bruales / hechos inhumanos) que son las atrocidades como Gernika, Dresden y Hiroshima.

    ¡Hola! Primero, quiero decir que estoy absolutamente encantado con trabajo. (Creo) Siento que Dios me ha bendecido. Soy profesor de inglés en un colegio muy grande en Madrid. Trabajo de 9 30 a 17 00 los Lunes y Martes y de 10 30 a 17 00 los Viernes. Creo que esta experiencia es increíble por que quiero ser un profesor de inglés en el futuro (esto no lo entiendo, dices que ya eres profesor de inglés y luego dices que quieres ser un profesor de inglés en el futuro). Para este trabajo, necesitas una carrera pero no la tengo de momento (aún). Y finalmente, me encantan los niños. ¡Gracias por leerme!

    Write a short story with 5 adjectives, 5 adverbs and 5 time expressions I'm a bit lost with time expressions, I'm not really sure what they are. Here's my short story, any corrections will be appreciated. ********************* It was eleven o’clock at night when the phone rang. I had had a tough day so I needed to sleep. When I picked up the phone, it was George. “What do you want?.” I said sharply. He only calls when he needs something. “Listen, I run out of gasoline and I need your help.” He seemed worried. Eventually I got up from bed, changed my clothes and got quickly into the car. When I arrived to where he was, we went to the nearest gas station, at that time It was starting to rain. Then he asked me for money to buy gasoline. At that moment, I started to get very angry… but I lend him 10 euros so we can finish, and he could go and I could finally rest and sleep. We went to his battered car, it was raining very hard, and we were soon completely soaked. Then he started the car and went off. When I got back home, I saw people inside my house. Walking carefully I saw George just when I realized It was my birthday, and they had organized a party for me!

    Cenando en algun lugar extraño

    Ahora en que lo pienso, hay un restaurante un poco peculiar en mi pequeña ciudad. Se llama Conte´s y sirve marisco. Está muy cerca de mi casa pero no solemos cenar allí. A mí me encanta el lugar pero a ellos que no les gusta el restaurante, normalmente les ofende. No es muy limpio y el servicio tampoco es bueno. Los camareros son maleducados y un poco groseros. Lo que me gusta es que no hay pretensiones allí.

    El dueño es un viejo al que le gusta cocinar. A veces tiene a su perro con el en la cocina. Abre cuando quiere y cierra cuando le da la gana.

    Me recuerda algo a como era mi abuelo, siempre contento en la cocina y muy enojado cuando no estaba allí. Cocinaba las porciones enormes como las del restaurante y me hacía que comiera todo.

    Afortunadamente en el restaurante te puedes llevar las sobras de la comida. Y eso es importante porque seguramente se puede comer las sobras durante la siguiente semana entera.

    Y si alguna vez viene a Rockland, Maine le recomienda que visite a Conte´s donde al menos expirimentará una cena memorable.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Nowadays, to get an important or public job, appearance is everything. We think that we cant get some jobs because of our image, or that we can get them just because our appearance. Is that true? Can be the ugly get jobs or do things that are usually for the pretty? On the one hand, we think there are too many jobs only for beauty people, in which people have to follow the fashion rules to be in. For example, think about your favorite actor… I bet he is pretty. When we see the television everybody is pretty. On the other hand, there are some exceptions. There are singers away from fashion rules that are succeeding just for what they do. Besides, we are starting to see “big size models” to make some noise in their world, showing us what is evident: not everyone is slim and pretty. To summarize, I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however the eyes of the society demands beauty.

    An email replying a job offer in the newspaper Hi! Today's entry is about an exercise I have to deliver next Monday. It's about a job offer, and we have to write an email applying for the job offer. Here's my email: Dear Sir/Madame My name is Paquito el chocolatero. I am writing to you because I saw a Personal Trainer advertisement in the newspaper. At the moment I am working at Caesar Gym in Catral, where I have been working for 12 years. I am in charge of fitness training, which means that I have to prepare the timetable and arrange meetings with all our instructors to prepare them and to show them all the activities once per month. On the other hand, I am also in charge of the social media strategy of the Caesar brand. I would like to work as a personal trainer in your company because I love music, and I thing that traveling around the world helping musicians will be a great opportunity to grow as a person. As you will see in my CV, I also like cooking. Cooking and practicing sports are the two thing that I love most. Also, you will see that I have previous experience on diet planing too. Yours cordially

    Por partes:

     

    No te agobies. Escribe. Español es un idioma bastante dificil, y muchos de los españoles cometemos faltas de ortografía al escribir. Lee libros, escribe de vez en cuando por aquí. Practica todo lo que puedas.

     

    Por otro lado, Barcelona es preciosa. Posiblemente sea la ciudad más bonita y cosmopolita de España. Pero no se si lo sabes... en Barcelona no se habla español. La gente te entenderá, pero por la calle, en la mayoría de negocios, etc. vas a escuchar a la gente hablando catalán ;)
