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.
