WHY READING A BOOK IS IMPORTANT IN OUR SOCIETY?

BY NEREA ROJAS #BTO2D

Nowadays many people prefer watching a film rather than reading. They don’t understand that reading is fundamental for us to function in today's society.  A good example of this is when you have to find a job. You may ask yourself the reason. For many well-paying jobs reading is a requirement to work. There are reports and memos that must be read and responded to. Poor reading skills increases the amount of time it takes to absorb and redact in the workplace.

In my opinion, it is important because spoken and written words are the buildings blocks of life. You are transformed by the words that you have heard or read. What you become in the future will depend on the amount of time you spend to enrich your vocabulary now. People, families, relationships, and even nations are built from words .Think about it. What you learn about books will help you along all your life. You will need this ability if you want to access to higher education because you have to pass a competitive examination, in which they value your verbal skills and your level of understanding. Besides, you can discover a lot or interesting topics, like society, relationships, or history.

In conclusion, people should read more books and realize that this is a very important habit nowadays. So we should promote it.

ARE SUPERHEROES STILL THERE

BY LOURDES MEDIALDEA #BTO2D

“Marvel: the age of Ultron” is a new movie based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers. In this film, the Avengers fight against Ultron, an evil robot which was created by Tony Stark (Iron Man). Also, here the Avengers thought a lot about how they could fight if it comes something bigger or more powerful than them.

What  I like the most of the film was the special effects, the actors, and how they had interpreted the different personalities of their characters. At the beginning, they fought one another, but at the end they stay together as a group and completed each other.

In conclusion, it is a perfect film and one of my favourite. I suggest you wait until the credits, maybe you will find a surprise… You will thank me.

HELPING REFUGEES OR NOT?

BY ANTONIO HIDALGO #BTO2D
These days, a lot of people and mass media are talking about the refugees that come to Europe running away from the war, and if we should let them stay here or not allow them to enter. In my opinion, we must help them.

First and foremost, the refugees are fleeing from war and hunger. They are normal people that want to live in peace. The refugees come to Europe looking for a place where they can feel safe.

Secondly, we are all humans and we have to care for each other. We must treat them as we would like to be treated. We think that we won´t be in that situation, but we were in the same situation after the Spanish Civil War and the World War II. In the past, millions of european people were forced to leave their countries to escape from war and persecution.

In conclusion, we have to let the refugees enter in Europe and help them regardless of their religion or place of birth.

BEING HOMOSEXUAL IS NORMAL. DON'T WORRY!

By LUCÍA SABAS #BTO2B

Yesterday, I was reading the newspaper when I saw a very strange piece of news: In Morocco, if you're homosexual, you go to jail!!! I didn't know this and I find it very bad.

I think that we are in a poor world in many aspects although Technology advances every day. I think that we should pay more attention to the world around us. We are in the 21st century but, we are still underdeveloped in some aspects of life: the moral aspects...

Because a homosexual person is like a heterosexual one, and he or she doesn't have to go to jail for his or her sexual condition. In many countries, but specially in Morocco, they feel
coerced, and this is unfair. In my opinion, people should be free to develop their own freedom.

In conclusion, I think that you can't judge anyone for falling in love with someone else, but unfortunately nowadays people who should be in jail for having hurt another person aren't in jail, and those who love another person of the same sex are condemned in Morocco. We have to help to change the situation.
