STEVE JOBS


BY: PABLO HERRERA, 2BTO-B
Steve Paul Jobs, co-founder and director of Apple and Pixar, was an entrepreneur since his chillhood, showing his way to face life with adversity, and takING the failure as necessary. Unlike other geniuses of technology, such as Bill Gates OR Mark Zuckerberg, Jobs never finished college. On October 5, 2011, he died in his Palo Alto home, aged 56. On the one hand, many people think that it is clear that Jobs thought differently and changed the world from their own thinking. Contributing thoughts and ways of existing work, but combined, and guided by him, gAve rise to success.
On the other hand, there were many people who criticized him for envy because of the large business and economic empire that he had formed.
In my opinion, Steve Jobs was, is and will be one of the great geniuses of technology and a great entrepreneur. It is a shame that a person like this dies, but remembered not only as a great businessman but as a great person.

ROMEO AND JULIET, MY OPINION


BY ALICIA MARTÍN, 2BTO-C
This novel was published in 1597 by William Shakespeare. In my opinion, Romeo and Juliet is a very romantic novel. It is based on the tragic fate of two lovers. At that time, the parents had to marry their daughters to a gentleman who HAD TO be very formal and very polite. This situation led to the tragic end of the couple.
This play is one of the most important BY William Shakespeare, and in my opinion Romeo and Juliet is a play which simbolized a new time in literature.
Romeo and Juliet has got a lot of versions, some versions are for small children, and others are for adults.
For me, Romeo and Juliet is a novel which is easy to read although some words are very old and difficult to understand.
