    El opiáceo de la gente no es la religión, sino es el revés Se suele decir que "la religión es el opio de la gente

    Un refrán famoso de Karl Marx es: “La religión es el opiáceo de la gente”. Claro que el padre del comunismo nunca ha viajado a Canadá. Por allí, habría descubierto que, en contra, el opiáceo es la religión de la gente.

    La tasa de consumo de marihuana, por aquí, es entre las más altas del mundo; además, es legal. El ranking de Canadá por su nivel de la alto consumo de alcohol borrachera es el segundo del mundo; es el mismo ranking que la por el consumo de cocaína.

    Los centros de nuestras grandes ciudades grandes tienen zonas llenas de adictos. Los vagabundos son hombres de cualquier edad, sin rumbo, y sin esperanza.

    ¿Qué pasó? No sé, pero es obvio de que, ser un país rico y con altos niveles de bienestar no resuelva  resuelve los problemas del ser humano.

    Nota: Tienes muy pocos fallos, está muy bien escrito. Felicidades!

    Avalancha provoca caos y extrema necesidad de ayuda humanitaria en Colombia.

    Una avalancha que se sucedió ayer, el 24 de agosto, ha producido un deslizamiento de barro. Lo cual ha reclamado la vida de 100 personas. Además, 213 individuos son han sido heridos y una cantidad restante de 100 estan son desaparecidos.

    Barro, piedras y palos están son por todas partes en Colombia, Mocoa hoy, después de un alud que ocurrió ayer a las 17.15 de la tarde. Existe mucha mucho  angustia y vergüenza durante la búsqueda de supervivientes y seres queridos. (no entiendo el significado de vergüenza en esta frase... por ejemplo,yo utilizaría pánico)

    Caos masivo emergió dado que los ríos se han desbordado también, la ciudad está viviendo sin casi ninguna comunicación y la oscuridad sigue cubriendo el cielo como resultado de cortes de energía electricidad y los cables telefónicos que están mal funcionando.

    El presidente declaró que la situación es una emergencia no solo económica sino social. Actualmente, la prioridad principal es la salud publica, es decir la limitación de la propagación de las enfermedades. Por lo tanto, los cuerpos de los fallecidos se almacenarán en habitaciones con temperaturas frías.

    No obstante, hay que asegurar que los habitantes tengan agua limpia para beber sigue siendo absolutamente imprescindible. ( o podrías decir "hay que asegurar que los habitantes tengan agua limpia para beber " ) Las autoridades han implementado una planta de agua con éxito, lo cual ya ha aportado 7000 litros de agua potable y limpia por día.

    Juan Manuel Santos, el presidente colombiano afirmó que los poderes del Estado habían iniciado un estado de emergencia, económica, social y ecológica para efectuar modificaciones y traslados presupuestares y adoptar todas las medidas necesarias para resolver la crisis.

    El ministro de salud colombiano, Alejandro Gaviria elaboró que se habían iniciado campanas de prevención y educación.

    A parte de los errores que te he corregido, creo que tu español es muy bueno. Felicidades!!:)

    Describing the book "The Oranges Girl" "The Oranges Girl" is a book written by a norwegian philosopher, J. Gaarder. The plot it is about a 13 years old teenager, Robert, who finds a letter of his dead father. His father had an illeness, and when the main charachter was 1 year old, he died.

Robert's father expressed to him his passion for the Universe, as well as all the concerns he had about human existance. In this letter it is also written who is The Oranges Girl, and why is she so important in Robert's life. By reading this letter, Robert will realise that he has more things in common with his father than he would never have imagined. On the one hand, reading this book makes you wonder about your own existance, and gives the reader another point of view regarding life. The concept of enjoying your life, no matter which is your current situation, it is also brought up. On the other hand, I think this book should have gone more in depth with some aspects. In my opinion, there was a lot of questions to be highlighted that the writter didn't mention. Knowing the author, probably he had already thought about them, but due to extension issues, he had to shorten the story, and therefore, to write it in a more shallow way. To conclude, I wpuld recommend Gaarder's novel, because it makes the reader to wonder about different aspects of life that maybe they would never have thought about. Nevertheless, I would like this book to be more extense, and therefore, to go more in depth in some aspects. PD: Thank you in advance for reading my text! :)

    Which subjects should continue to be taught at secondary school? Regarding the National Teachers Conference, that had taken place in Barcelona on 1st March, all the teachers had been asked to expose which subjects taught at secondary school do they think are of a great importance. To know teacher's opinion is the key for improving the education system. In the following lines, I will expose my opinion. Firstly, due to my 30 years experience teaching History subject in a high school, I actively recommend this subject to continue to be taught. History shows what happened before each other's existance, why do we live in a society like ours, and why do we think in a certain way. It is an important subject to understand who we are and where are we coming from. In addition, this subjects points out which mistakes the human kind have done in the past. By learning from them, it is likely that we won't repeat them in the future. Secondly, I think Art lessons are of a great importance. Art gives the opportunity to explore ourselves through exploiting our creativity. By the time passes by, students loose their essence, they end up trapped in a frame, without having the will for exploring further away their capacities. Studying Art allows teenagers to feel freedom, to enhance their creativity, and ultimately, to explore new inner paths that studying other subjects doesen't embraces. To sum up, in my opinion History and Art subjects are very important to be taught in a secondary school. This two areas mentioned above give students the opportunity to know themselves better and to understand who are they, which I think are key concepts to work in, specially with teenagers. PD: Thank you in advance for correcting my mistakes :D
