SUPERSTITIONS

Nowadays, superstitions are discussed by a lot of people in our society. Some people believe in them and some people don't. The fact is that the population who trusts in superstitions has decreased in the last 20 years because of the development of the science.

However, there are lots of people that still believe in them. There are some superstitions like the number thirteen or the black cats, that we consider fake because these superstitions are not based on scientific researches.

Nevertheless, there are others that seem real, like crossing your fingers because eventually there are still a lot of people who do that, even if they are not believers of superstitions.

To sum up, we can say that our world is crowded of different people with different beliefs. Some believe in all superstitions, and others just don't believe in any of them which makes a society in which people differs from their beliefs.

DO YOU PREFER CONVENTIONAL OR EXTREME SPORTS?

Nowadays, extreme sports have become very popular. 

People like the sensation of adrenaline when they are practising these types of sports but not everybody likes them and they prefer conventional sports.

I am keen on conventional sports because if I want to exercise I dont't need to go far from my home because I can train in the street, or in the beach... and extreme sports need to be done in places like the mountains, rivers... 

I reckon that conventionals are safer than the extreme ones and that's why I like them. I feel less uncomfortable jogging than doing parachuting. Another reason why I am fond of traditional sports is because they are not as expensive as the extreme sports.

To sum up, I think that you'll experiment less risk if you do conventional sports than if you do extreme sports and if you want to get fit, the best way is doing conventional sports because you can practise whatever, whenever and wherever you want.

                                     

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING FIT

Eventually, more and more people are worried about their bodies. There are a lot of gyms where people can work out, and many diets have appeared in the last twenty years.There are a lot of recommendations to be fit,such as exersice and healthy food plans.

On one hand , if we keep fit, our mind and our body are going to react positively. It is said: ``Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies ´´. There are a lot of reasons to think that being fit is important, one of them is that if you usually do sport you are going to feel relaxed, and good with yourself. Another advantage is that it prevents you to get diseases and you can live longer.

On the other hand, you can suffer accidents while you are working out at the gym, and you can also get addicted to sport and make it a bad habit instead a good one.

Finally, if you want to be fit, remember that there are a lot of possibilities to achieve that. Swimming is an excellent way of keeping fit, having a positive effect on the cardio-vascular system, running, walking in the park....

WHAT TYPES OF FILMS DO YOU PREFER?

I like different types of films but if I had to choose one gender, I would choose romantic films. I am keen on romantic films since I was five years old. Another gender I am fond of is science fiction films, although I prefer the romantic gender.

Romantic films are inspired in love stories, normally between a handsome boy and a strange girl. I like this type of films because they are really cool movies and I laugh a lot with them. Besides, I also like sicence fiction movies because I love special effects. 

When I am watching sicence fiction films, I feel that I am in another planet, and I really like that feeling.

In conclusion, my favourite type of films are romantic and sience fiction films because they are a bit unrealistic and they show that the dreams can come true.

DOWNLOADING MUSIC FROM THE INTERNET

DOWNLOADING MUSIC FROM THE INTERNET

Nowadays, it's difficult to be a singer and even more if there are free ways to download your creations. Most of people use these ways to listen to music.

Do you think that these actions are correct?

On the one hand, it is free and people who don't have enough money can enjoy the music they like. Also, downloading music from the internet is quicker than going to the shop and buying the CD.

On the other hand, it makes artists to earn less money because it is like if you were stealing their music. Another disadvantage is that this action is illegal, so if you get caught by the police, you can be punished.

In my opinion, artists should not be offended when people download their music from the internet because, although they earn less money, they will be known and it will make them successful.

ALL THE STUDENTS SHOULD SPEND AT LEAST ONE YEAR STUDYING ABROAD.

Nowadays, speaking more than two languages is essential to get a job. There are more and more opportunities to go abroad than twenty years ago. That is why the number of people who study in other countries is growing.

Firstly, spending one year studying abroad is a good way to learn a new language for your future. Besides, this favors to knowing new cultures and traditions and to meeting different types of people.

Likewise, it helps yourself to grow as a person because you are alone, without your family and it makes you more independent and organized. By the time the year finishes, you will have learnt to stand on your own two feet.

Finally, this opportunity makes that you will have more chances to get a job because it's a good thing to put in a currículum.

In our opinion, this is the best way to learn a new language, knowing different types of cultures, people and lifestyles and to get a better future.

MY SUMMER IN ENGLAND

THEFT AT THE BEACH

First of all, I am going to tell you a story about something that happened to me when I was in England. On September 2012, I went to England in summer to participate in an exchange programme. I stayed with a family in Ilfracombe. Ilfracombe is a beautiful village in the south of England. It has fantastic beaches and a wonderful hill.

One day, I was at the beach with my friends. We were taking photos, and we left our bags on the rocks where we used to meet everyday. Then, we went to the seashore to get our feet wet. Suddenly, I saw a big man who was wearing a white t-shirt approaching to our bags. Afterwards, I started walking to my bag but the man realised that I was looking at him, so he took my bag and ran away.
I started to shout ''Stop! He's stealing my bag!'' but nobody helped me... Inmediately, I decided to enter to a restaurant to ask for help. The owner of the restaurant called the police so the police came and I made a complaint.

Finally, I looked for the thief with the police but we didn't find him. On the one hand, I learned to take more care of my possessions but on the other hand, I lost a cellphone, a wallet with eighty pounds, a towel and my parents told off me.
