    Essay CAE (Sports) As far as I am concerned, keeping in form and doing exercise are extremely important as we really benefit from workout. Nevertheless, not everybody has an active lifestyle and up to a point, it is understandably that sometimes is hard to be motivated to train. Therefore, what some people suggest is that young people should be forced to practise sports thrice a week. I talk from my own experience when I say forbidding is never the solution to anything and it might cause the contrary of what is being looked for. Moreover, if someone who has never done any kind of sports starts practising them excessevely they probably would end up hating them. On the other hand, is public knowledge that our health will be so much better if we practise activities which involve movement. In addition, working out has other benefits, such as kids can get to know new people and they will feel better with theirselves. Not only will they get used to having an active life but also to getting out of their comfort zone. All things considered, children should not be forced but encouraged to do exercise. In my view, forcing them is not a good idea at all, as there is not anything that people hate more than being forbidden to do something. Thus, they should be taught about the benefits we get from exercising and discover them by playing surprising games which they actually enjoy.

    Telling the truth Nowadays, honesty is one of the most important personal traits of a person. As far as I am concerned, everyone wants to be told the truth in order to know how is the reality and to be able to trust people. However, not everybody is always sincere. I talk from my own experience when I say lying to avoid confronting problems or difficult situations is absolutely not a good idea. Not only are the ones you lied to going to be enraged but also disappointed. Besides, it is certainly possible that they will not believe anything you tell them anymore. Most of people who lie think they are doing their best to help someone who is going to feel better if does not know what is actually happening. Despite they might have such a good intention, they have not got the right to decide from others. Let me conclude by saying truth always is discovered, and before or after, people are going to find out if someone has lied to them. Last but not least, it is extremely necessary to have the courage to talk seriously to the ones you love if they need to know something. In my view, it is better if they find out the truh by their closest friends or family than by someone they do not barely know, is not it?

    REVIEW- Tools for learners (W&I) As far as I am concerned, English is one of the most spoken languages in the entire world. Therefore, is extremely important to learn it well so we can comunicate with others correctly in the future. Thus, I looked for some useful resouces which could improve my English skills and I discovered Write and Improve. To start with, this recent writing tool promises learners their writtings will be corrected instantly and they will be able to see their progress and mistakes. This is the main reason I considere it is totally useful, especially for those who can not afford to have a particular teacher or go to an academy. To continue with, it is important to talk about its originality. I had never got to see anything like this before. Nevertheless, I also have some concerns about its veracity. Needless to say the work of a machine can not be the same than the work of a person, who can probably detect more mistakes. To sum up, I would recommend the tool Writing and Improve for learning English because it can be so helpful when trying to improve writting skills; especially for people who study at home. Your difficulties will be reduced just out of the blue.

    not to/to not <ul><li>I decided not to call him</li><li>I’m sorry not to have written you earlier</li></ul>
    these sentences are both correct, but would it be correct to say “I decided to not call...” or “I’m sorry to not have written...”? Why?

    INFORMAL LETTER (in reply to a friend) Dear John, I would be delighted to suggest you places to visit here in Valencia and I hope you have such a great time in the city. I’m terribly sorry not to have written you earlier but I’ve been up to my eyes in work. As you can know, Valencia is a huge place so in such a short time it won’t be possible to get to visit everything. However, I’ll try to help you to decide. That’s why, without any doubt, my first recommendation is visiting the beach without hesitation! Beaches here, especially Malvarrosa’s coast, are gorgeous. Besides, I have to admit my favourite moment is at dawn, when the sun casts a dim glow over the sea and the sand. Not only are beaches wonderful but also landmarks, as the City of Arts and Science, the “Bioparc” or the cathedral. You asked me about things to do and I have to say it’s hard to know where to begin. Firstly, in the City of Arts and Science hundreds of interesting discoveries and theories will come just out of the blue. Secondly, at the “Bioparc”, you will have the opportunity to see animals you might not have ever had the chance to watch, such as lions, elephants, and dauphins. Finally, if I were you I would absolutely visit the cathedral to get close to Spanish religion and tradition. Well, I’d better stop now. Give me a call as soon as you arrive, I’m really looking forward to seeing you in one month. All the best, Lorena

    Traducción de una Entrevista con Ethan Russell #1

    George Harrison era miserable, dice Ethan Russell. "Él estaba muy cansado de ello. Creo que no hacía nada salvo fruncir el ceño durante tres horas. El fotógrafo está recordando el día en que sin saberlo tomó la último foto de los Beatles juntos. Fue el veintidós de Agosto de 1969, y ellos estaban en la casa de John Lennon."

    "Paul estaba intentando mantener todo unido," (hold it together en español sería mantener todo unido o tener paciencia) añadió. "Él tenía cruzados los brazos. Pero el concepto de los Beatles ya no encaja con quienes fueron. Yo les podría haber pedido sonreír, pero habría sido una mentira y estoy contento de que no lo hice. Este matrimonio había llegado al final - y, claro, se muestra en la foto."

    El hecho que esta foto muy significante no es una de sus mejores, habla mucho sobre su carrera. Durante un periodo de diez años que terminó en 1978, Russell tomó fotos de las estrellas más grandes en el mundo del rock, usualmente cuando ellos estaban en su periodo (en este caso la oración se entiende mejor si escribimos la palabra) más honesto. Él tenía un asiento en primer fila en lo que se llama la época de oro del rock. Russell no solo era un amigo de Lennon y Yoko Ono, él conocía también a su gato.

    Él nació en 1945, y se enamoró del rock and roll después de ver a Elvis Presley mover sus caderas en la televisión. Pero, fue una película llamada Blow-Up, sobre un fotógrafo de Londres la que lo influenció (se trata de una frase hecha, no literal. En este caso significa influenciar, despertar su interés). "Le pedí a mi padre tomar prestado dinero para comprar una cámara y cogí un avión a Londres solo con la ropa que llevaba. No tenía un plan. Yo sabía que me encantaban todas las bandas de Gran Bretaña, pero fotografiarlas me parecía imposible”.

    REVIEW OF A BOOK (somebody who has made an important contribution to society) To begin with, “The shadow of the sun” is a chronicle written by Ryszard Kapuscinski, who is a polish journalist that has a strong interest in Africa’s culture, tradition and history. Consequently, he decided to travel to the continent as a correspondent to write his book, in which he describes his experiences there and tries to show people the reality of a colonized society. Firstly, he contextualizes Africa’s history of colonization, which may not be known by everyone because it has been hidden by the main oppressors. This is such a good way of opening people’s eyes from the ignorance, isn’t it? Moreover, Kapuscinski puts into perspective some examples of discrimination that we might not be aware of. Secondly, I have to admit that I did not know a lot about the journalist before I read his chronicle. Needless to say this book has given me the opportunity to get to know Ryszard Kapucinski and his profession. As a result, I understand how journalists work to get exclusive news, how problems just appear out of the blue and how they try to do their best to face them. These are the reasons why this book also helps people to discover the hidden face of journalism. To sum up, I would strongly recommend “The shadow of the sun”. Without any doubt, Ryszard Kapucinski has made an important contribution to society because he has showed people the reality of a continent which suffered colonization and continue suffering discrimination. Not only has he opened people’s eyes but also taught them about his profession, journalism.
