Nora

I'm going to speak about my friend Nora. 

Nora is one of my best friends. She is 23 years old. She comes from Quebec, the French area in Canada, so she is Canadian. She lives in Quebec, but this year she is living in Madrid because she is learning Spanish. She speaks French and English very well! She is an office worker, but this year she is a student.

She is tall and she has long blond hair and green eyes. She is very kind and generous. She is intelligent and funny.

Nora has a small family: her mother, her brother and her pet! Her mother is an interpreter and her brother works for an international company. They live in a house in Quebec.

Nora's favo(u)rite time of the day is the morning, because she starts a new day! Her favo(u)rite day of the week is Saturday, because it's the beginning of the weekend. Her favo(u)rite month is April and her favo(u)rite season is spring. She also likes the summer, because we are on holidays.

Nora likes a lot of things. About her hobbies, she loves music and dancing. She likes writing songs, too! We like spending time together because it's fun. Sometimes we sing her songs. She has a beautiful voice! Nora also likes computers. She's very good at computers! She has a blog and she often posts about her day. Her family read her posts and they post comments! Nora doesn't like waiting for the bus! She hates it! And she hates shopping, too!

Nora and I like spending time together. We have fun together. And she can practice her Spanish! I am learning French, too! I like her because she's always there when I need her.

John and Amy

Amy: Jo! Why are you here?

John: Hi Amy… I need new trousers because tomorrow I have a meeting!

Amy: Trousers? I gave you a new pair of it last month!

John: Really? I don’t remember it, but… I want to see if there is any sale in the store, too.

Amy: Ok but, can I come with you?

John: Yes..., but I haven’t got much time. If I have to wait for you to go to the store, I will arrive late. You should understand it…

Amy: John, you are lying… I can feel it. Please, tell me the truth.

John: You are right. I don't want you to go there

Amy: You're so rude!

E-MAIL

Hi Ben,

How is your life? I am doing fine. I’m writing this mail because I want to explain you the film I saw last Friday. The film is called The Impossible. This is the best film in the Spanish cinema. Pepa Pig is about a family of pigs going to holidays in the farm and all of a sudden a wolf arrived to the town where they are staying. I think that there should be more films like this. 

What is the latest film you have watched?

I hope your answer soon!

Lots of kisses

Lola.

Graffiti

Graffiti is just another way to express yourself as being a form of a artist. So what I’m trying to say is, graffiti shouldn’t be illegal. It’s just creative writing with colors, yea it destroys but it also builds character. If they want their property to stop getting destroyed then they should make places for graffiti artist to do their work. People should want places to be more colorful.

Some supports of allowing graffiti will let artist express themselves in a way they know how. Allowing graffiti will keep people from doing it illegally in places that are illegal. Allowing graffiti will be helpful because places could be set up where it’s not illegal. 

Graffiti is gang affiliated is what some people say but its’ really not. Graffiti is what you view of it and how you feel about it. Yea graffiti started out with gangs but then smarter people decided to take it to a new level of art.

Graffiti is a way to do what you what you love just like anybody else does what they love. Graffiti is a way to blow off stress, and put all that anger and pain into your work. Graffiti is a way to show off your skill or talent or whatever you want to call it. Graffiti is a way to group up with friends and have a good time and show off your art to all your friends. Graffiti is a way to show off cool looking things such as crispy lines, or big fat letters, or just a lot of color.

Graffiti takes time, patience, talent, skill, and a place to display it.

Graffiti cans might be expensive and it might ruin your clothes or buildings, as some people say but that’s all part of the game. Graffiti is just the same as an painter painting, a rapper rap, a contractor contract. Those are peoples jobs they get paid to do what they love.

So why can’t graffiti artist get paid to do what they love to do. Why is graffiti illegal!? Why do I see people get arrested for what I believe to be there job! I thought this was a free world, yea there is limits to this free world, but why is graffiti one of those limits! If people want their stuff to stop getting “destroyed” then they should build places for them to “do work.”

Private schools

Anyone who has been a parent, will wont the best for their children and education as we know it nowadays may depend on the wealth of each family, so a frequently asked question when choosing a school for our children is to choose between a wide range of public and private schools.

First of all, a very high percentage of the population in Spain has been educated in public schools and universities with this we can see that we don’t need private education to maintain a highly educated workforce in our country.

Even though private education is well known to be better than the public one, this might be true in part. For example, in private schools teachers are more involved with students, so their attention to pupils tends to be higher. Another argument in favour is the discipline that teachers and environment teach you. You are more likely to be a right and just adult. 

If you could get a glimpse of life as it was in the past, where would you like to experience it?

If Icould get a glimpse of life as it was in the past I would go to Madrid to 50/60's. I would like to see how the city was at that time and see how people dressed. I would go to malls as "Galerias Preciado". All that curiosity is caused due to "Velvet". It is about the lifes of the people working in that fashion store.
After seeing Madrid I would also like to go to the time of my parents and see how they were when they were my age. Maybe we would become friends. I would like to be born in that era.

Describe your favourite shop

My favourite shop is Fashion Pills. It's an online shop and I like it a lot. It has got differents styles that I wear everyday. It's a bit pricey but it has good quality. The shipping is free and the packaging they send the clothes in is beautiful. I bought a pair of shoes and sunglasses.
I had a problem with the purchase but they contacted to me to solve it. They were friendl (I think this is an important point).
There are more online stores (Romwe, Sheinside, Asos..) but they are expensive or bad -quality. 

Gap year road

If I could take a gap year I would travel around the world For example, I would go to Japan and visit the tamples. I would go to New York, to Australia, to Los Angeles... Then I would go to all the parties of Catalonia. 
After all I would study English in a private school and move to London to work in a Starbucks café and try to be a model or to work in something related to fashion.
Finally, due to all my jobs, I will be rich and I will buy a new mansion with a pool. 

Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall

We don't need no education 
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

We don't need no education 
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave us kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall

All in all you're just another brick in the wall

"Another Brick in the Wall” is about children not wanting to go to school, get an education and not let themselves be bossed by teachers

According to the band, the "wall" is the self-isolating barrier we build over the course of our lives, and the "bricks in the wall" are the people and events that turn us inward and away from others.

The song equates "education" with "thought control" – that's exactly how education is used in all kinds of real-life situations throughout history.

The song represents the frustration with oppressive authority figures, fear of brainwashing through the education system – struck a chord in a country where much of the population had no voice. 

Climate change

Spain is one of the European countries most affected by climate change. Some species could disappear, others proliferate, and many would suffer economic sectors, and increase risks to health. One of the direct effects of climate change in our country is the disappearance or alteration of ecosystems. Also, the increase in temperature will allow the proliferation of exotic species.

Climate change also presents health risks. First, cold waves and extreme heat will be more extreme and lasting, so predictably more lives will be charged. Furthermore, the increase in temperature will favor the living conditions of various types of mosquitoes and their ability to transmit infectious diseases.

I think companies should take responsibility with environment, I think that is impossible to stop the effects but at least slow down them.

Are Olympics, and similar events, a good way of bringing nations together?

The Olympics offer a good view of many cultures to people/viewers around the world. This limited exposure of two weeks more or less to the culture of China in addition to the various other nations whose athletes' stories and personalities we get to know from the televised coverage of the games is a positive step in the direction of chipping away at the walls of prejudice and bigotry that divide cultural, racial, religious, and national groups.

The Olympic games is an invaluable forum where the nations of the world can come together under one roof and compete together at the highest level athletically bereft of the violence and destruction that tends to accompany political or religious conflicts.

Description of a person

Wylona Hayashi is my favorite fashion blogger. She’s 22 and lives in Seoul.

When you look at her the first that you notice is her big blue eyes and her red lips. She has pale skin and wavy long dark hair. She’s short and skinny.

She’s very creative and intelligent. However, she is sensitive and surprisingly shy.

Wylona likes photography and music. When she has free time she always goes to a restaurant with her friends. She likes to wear dark clothes and skinny jeans.
When she was a child, she had a very difficult life, when she was 8 her mum died and her dad left her house.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE WITHOUT COMPUTERS NOWADAYS?

The computer is the great invention of 20th century. With a computer you can write a text and send it to someone instantly, visit exotic places without traveling there or search information (and also play videogames). So it's an essential tool for everyone. 
I think that for "digital natives" it's impossible to live without a computer (including tablets and smartphones) because we were born in a world where having a computer is basic for education or for some jobs, so we depend on computers.
However if only computers "desapears" (not internet and smartphones) I believe that it's totally feasible because in my view smartphones will replace PCs.
In conclusion, nowadays it's impossible to love without computers and all stuff that includes it.
