- Is that text correct? SPANISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM From my point of view, the Spanish educational system has several serious problems. First, pupils may not repeat a grade more than once. This is a great disadvantage as they pass to the next grade without the knowledge they should have. This rule does not benefit them at all. In fact, I think this hurts them, making it harder to continue with the normal rhythm of class. Secondly, there are serious problems of discipline in secondary schools. This is because many families believe their children should be brought up in high school. I do not think so. On the contrary, I believe that children should learn at home to behave. Such education should receive from their parents. What I mean is that the secondary school is to teach several subjects such as Literature, Biology or Mathematics and rules of behavior have to be learned at home. In addition, there are too many pupils in each class, which increases the risk that such problems occur. If there were fewer students in each class, I'm sure less problems would occur. Third, when a student has a discipline problem, he is usually expelled to his home. In my opinion, other punishments are more effective. For example, if the student makes cleaning in school, outside of class time, he can reflect on the offense he committed. The problem with this method is that more staff to work in the evenings is needed and at this period of crisis, the State doesn’t invest enough in education. Finally, I think many of the problems that currently exist in the Spanish educational system have solutions. This solution is more economic investment.April 21, 201520
- Is this text correct? My favorite film is The Last of the Mohicans. It was directed by Michael Mann and is based on the historical novel by James Cooper. It is set in eighteenth-century America during the Seven Years' War, in which France and England fought for control of what is now Canada and the northern United States. The French had the support of the tribe of the Hurons, while the Mohican tribe of Indians helped the British army. In the film violent scenes of war are mixed with a beautiful love story between the protagonists. What I like about the film is its soundtrack and the wonderful landscape that can be seen throughout history. And what I dislike is when one of the Hurons cruelly kills the father of the protagonist, and pulls out his heart with his knife. At the end of the film, the last of the Mohicans is left with the woman he was in love. Meanwhile, her sister is captured by the tribe of the Hurons. So, she decides to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff vacuum.April 14, 201560
- SPORTS. Could anyone correct this text? In my opinion, sport is very important for health. From my point of view, sport not only keeps you healthy physically, but also serves to be psychologically well. In fact, physical education should be a compulsory subject throughout adolescence and all youth. I like practice sports several times a week. I play paddle, I go mountain biking and I occasionally go skiing. However, my favorite sport is football, but I don´t play, because when I was younger I was injured tibia during a football game and I decided not to play anymore. However, I like to watch football games on TV. The second sport that I love is skiing, but I only go skiing once a year, because it is a very expensive sport. When I go skiing I have to rent skis, boots and sticks, and I have to buy the pass that allows slide down the slopes. All this costs more than a hundred euros. Third is the paddle. It is a sport that I like and that is quite cheaper than skiing. For ten or twelve euros you can rent the court. However, the downside of it is that four players are needed, so sometimes it's hard to find people who can play the same day, same time. Finally, mountain biking allows me to leave whenever I want. Although it is best accompanied, is not strictly necessary. So, when I’ve had a stressful day at work, I take my mountain bike and ride along the roads to see beautiful landscapes and relax.April 8, 201520
- Could anyone correct this? In my opinion, people now have mobile phone dependence, not just to talk, but also for many other things. Then I explain some of the uses I give to Mobile: First, I use it as an alarm clock. I choose a nice ringtone and so I wake up in the morning with a nice music. After that, I turn it on and check if I have a text message on a messaging application, such as whatsapp. If I have one and have time, I try to answer quickly. While I have breakfast, I use the phone to listen to music and watch British television channels to improve my English. In my free time I also use the phone to play some games like Candy Crash or to see things on the internet, such as weather or results of football matches. Furthermore, when I see a beautiful landscape or I am doing something interesting, I make some pictures with my phone and I share them with friends through social networks like Facebook. Finally, when night comes, I put back the alarm and I turn off my phone until next morning. In conclusion, the mobile is used to do many more things besides talking.March 25, 201510
- Could anyone correct this? Traffic in Granada is a bit chaotic. There are usually numerous traffic jams. So if you visit Granada is better to leave the car parked in a car park and to use public transport. There are several types of public transport in the town, as the coach, taxi, underground or tram. There is also a small tourist train that takes you to the most characteristic monuments such as the Alhambra, the Cathedral and the neighborhood of Albaicín. If you want to get from the suburbs to the town center, the best option is to take the underground or tram. Both are faster than the coach, but are a bit more expensive. Once in the downtown, there is a large pedestrian zone where you can walk. In some streets of downtown passing cars are allowed, but speed is limited to twenty kilometers per hour. However, the streets are too narrow and the passage of lorries or vans are not allowed. People living in Granada knows well the traffic problems that exist in the town and so many people use the scooter to move faster, or catch the bicycle on the cycle lane, which is healthier and does not pollute the air. How long does the tram take from the suburbs to the downtown? It takes about twenty minutes. My train arrives at quarter past eight. Do you think you could pick me up at the station? I'll wait on the platform number three.March 14, 201530

In one hand, unhealthy food is very common in people who hasn’t any time to cook. This people usually eat take-away food, like hamburgers, pizzas or precooked food. This kind of food is delicious, but unfortunately is unhealthy because it has a lot of fats. It is junk food. In the other hand, healthy food normally needs more time to cook. So this type of food is common in people who has time to cook or people who somebody cook for them. Fish and seefood like anchovies, crab and salmon are examples of healthy food. Some kinds of meals that hasn’t many fats are healthy food too, like chicken or pork. Beef and lamb are high-fat food, so it´s better eat it in little portions.
