GOOGLE GLASS

BY INMA MOLINERO, ESO4C

Google Glass is a wearable device in the shape of glasses with a small screen and a camera at the right top of it developed by Google. The good thing about it is that you can communicate with the internet, take pictures, record videos, and do many other functions via voice commands. From my point of view, it's fascinating, as I see it as a huge step for technology. It can be interesting to do everything you can do with a smartphone hands-free.

On the other hand, there's always the price issue. It is said that the price won't go below $500 in 2014 - which is far from what most people can afford - and won't be worth it because of the lack of apps at the beggining.

In any case, I'm quite convinced it will be very successful by the year 2016 - if there aren't loads of competitors by then.

DO PARENTS AND CHILDREN AGREE WITH BILINGUAL SCHOOLS?

BY LOURDES REINA, ESO4D

Today, education is so important, and almost all shools want to improve their students marks, and with them children can learn a lot of English.

In my opinion, bilingual schools are not bad although my friends and more people think so. In these schools, you don't learn only your language, but you can learn two languages at the same time. You'll learn a lot of grammar, vocabulary, expreSSions, and even you can travel to foreign places in which you can understand everything.

So finally, I advise you a bilingual school for your children and their great education.

SHOT ME DOWN, BY DAVID GUETTA

Enjoy this great music with lyrics by David Guetta and Skylar Grey:

LYRICS:

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he's gone I don't know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

WHAT IS SAINT PATRICK DAY?

SAY NO TO JUNK FOOD

BY BLANCA BESTEIRO, BTO2A

I think people´s health all over the world is getting worse, because everybody is eating more and more junk food. A lot of people eat at work, and this is not comfortable, and people decide to eat something quickly, normally fast food. But the junk food could have some advantages, for example its taste. It is cheap and easy to buy.

On the other hand, it´s true that most of the aspects related to fast food are negative.

Advertising is responsible for the increasing of junk food.

Finally, as a conclusion, i think that it is convenient to invest in sports and in a good nutrition to have a healthy country. You will also feel good and pleased with yourself.

According to experts, one TIP for everybody is walking everyday and doing many other activities such as using stairs instead of lifts, walking to work or school, drinking a litre of water every day, and deciding what type of food we want to eat carefully.

PEOPLE WHO DON'T RECYCLE SHOULD BE FINED

BY DARÍO CALA, BTO2C

Many people ought to be fined for not recycling. In my opinion, policemen should fine those people who don´t look after the environment.

In the past, people didn´t recycle because they weren´t aware of the importance of recycling. Furthermore, people didn´t throw so much rubbish and they used to reuse bottles or clothes. To my mind, this implies that in the past there was less pollution. Today, people are throwing more rubbish than before, but they recycle more and more because it´s essential to get a better environment.

In conclusion, I agree with recycling paper, plastic and glass. I also think that people shouldn´t throw so much rubbish.

ABORTION: MY OPINION

BY VIC DOS SANTOS, BTO2D

In mi opinion, the new law of abortion that the goverment wants to impose is incredible. With this new law, only raped women can abort. I can’t believe a law like this can be in democracy! Aborting is a decision that only women can choose, not the government, because it’s their life. People who have aborted are not killers. Even sometimes, abortion is the best option. For example, if a mother knows that her future son is going to be born with a rare disease and they both are going to suffer. Maybe aborting is the more appropRiate option. Aborting is a right, and the government mustn’t deny it, because we live in a democratic country.
