MY OPINION ABOUT MANUEL CARRASCO

By JULIA RÍOS #BTO2B

I am going to talk about te new album of one of my favourite singers. His name is associated with one of the most famous reality TV show in Spain in the last teen years.

The name of the TV programme was ¨Operación Triunfo¨ when he started became a famous singer after finishing in second place in the second season.

Right now, he has just launched his eight studio album and is coaching in another TV show which is called ¨The Voice. His name is Manuel Carrasco.

In my opinión, Manuel Carrasco is one of the best singers from Huelva. I would like to say his music style and his voice are very romantic and close to his fans. His sweet voice and his lirycs make me feel happy and romantic at the same time.

In conclusion, I really love his music and I definitly recommend his songs to everybody.

TEENAGERS AND SMOKING

By ISABEL MARTÍN #BTO2D

Nowadays, a lot of teenagers start smoking too soon but they don´t realize that smoking is very unhealthy for themselves.

I believe that smoking is very attractive to them because it is something that we see as normal in our society.

Firstly, one of the reasons why young people start to smoke is because they are influenced by their parents. Children have seen their parents smoking all their lives, and when they get older they get curious to know about the feeling you get when you try a cigarette. Another reason is if a group pressure a member. For example, a group of friends are smoking, and one of them has never tried a cigarette before; if a friend offers a cigarette, the boy will probably say yes, because he doesn´t want to stand out or get bullied for not smoking.

In conclusion, these are the most prominent reasons for teenagers to start smoking. From my line of thinking, they should have personality and say 'NO!' when they don´t want a cigarette.

WILL PEOPLE'S LIFE CHANGE IN 25 YEARS?

By LOURDES MEDIALDEA #BTO2D 

The world is progressing really fast, and life is now different from how it was 50 years ago. Therefore, I believe that, in general, life will be even harder in 25 years. 

On the one hand, people will be focused on their jobs, so they will have children later, because they will prefer getting a good job, instead of taking care of their children.

On the other hand, we've got education. Education is getting harder every year. Everyone wants a good job in which they could earn enough money to live without worrying, so everybody is competing to get better marks. That’s why  teenagers are having more and more issues of anxiety and stress.

In conclusion, I think that we will need to take more care of our children and less care of our job, which yes, it is really important but, the most important thing in the world is being happy. So yes, life will change in 25 years.

PRACTICAL SKILLS

By ALBA SÁNCHEZ #BTO2D

Some people think that teenagers nowadays only have to concentrate on academic subjects and ignore themes which teach you practical skills, such as managing money and applying for jobs, because "they're not as important as them".

First and foremost, practical skills are fundamental things that everybody should know. For example, it doesn't matter if you have excellent marks in science if you don't know how to do a curriculum vitae or do a job interview.

It is also important to consider that many academic subjects require so much concentration and, it's irritating, so you need some relax which you can find in practical skills which are not that difficult.

In conclusion, practical skills are not less important than academic subjects, and they should be taught at schools like the basic and fundamental subjects.

IS IT BETTER TO LIVE ALONE OR WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

BY NATALIA ALMAGRO #BTO2D

Independence has always been a problem for young people. Some old teenagers are said not to want to leave their houses, and others are said not to be able to do it. In fact, there are some disadvantages if you want to leave home.

Here in Spain, independence is not one of the most important things when you become an adult because you can find a job and continue living at home, so you do not need to go for a new house.

In other countries, their parents want them to leave home. It is very difficult to live alone, and you have to get used to being alone and independent, too. Moreover, you have to try not to feel lonely. Currently, I know people that no sooner have they left home than they are missing home due to their mothers' at home, for example taking care of charges.

One of the most important things of deciding if you live alone or not is to find good flatmates. However, it is very difficult for young adults to find responsible ones. For example, if you find a responsible one, you will be able to share your charges.

As a conclusion, it is very difficult to decide if you live alone or with someone else since each one has their advantages and disadvantages. However, from my point of view, it is better to live with someone else because it is cheaper and more enjoyable than living alone.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

By LUCÍA SABAS #BTO2B

I am going to give you my opinion about a video that I saw the other day.

In that video we could see how Marx fell in love with a woman's mind who he hadn't ever met. He was in the library when he caught a book that had many notes around the book's pages. The notes showed the woman's thoughts. Fortunately, on the first page, he found her name.

Marx, the protagoinst, decided to look for the woman. Finally, They were sending a lot of letters to each other and she fell in love with him. One day, They met up at an airport, but, he didn't see the person who he was waiting for. He found a grandmother waiting for him, but it was an experiment created by the woman to check if after he saw the older woman, he still wanted to go to the restaurant with her.

In my opinion, I think that it is an incredible story because the woman didn't want him to fall in love with a face, but with a beautiful mind.
