THE IMPORTANCE OF READING

BY ANA NORIEGA #BTO1D

The whole world knows that reading is very important, specially for children, though they often don’t do it because they don’t know the benefits of reading.

First of all, reading helps us learn new words and therefore expand our vocabulary. It also helps us train our minds; while we are reading, our minds are working.

Reading is a skill which we acquire when we are young. As we grow up, we use it to develop our intelligence and to discover new information.

But it doesn’t only have educative benefits, it also has benefits for our health. Reading before bedtime helps us relax our mind, and it reduces the stress due to the fact that, when we start to read, it takes us only six minutes to relax. It acts in the same way as music: it helps create new perspectives

when we have bad moments.

In my opinion, there are two main reasons why everybody should read. The first one is that reading makes us happier, opens our minds for new situations and for new ideas. It allows us to evade us from our reality. The second one is that reading is a free pastime. You can read magazines, newspapers, news on the Internet, books, articles...

Reading doesn’t have limits. It increases our imagination and our creativity. It is vital in our lives!

CHARITIES' IMPORTANCE

BY JUAN JOSÉ PÉREZ #BTO2C

Nowadays, there are many charities around the world. They help homeless people and citizens of countries which haven’t got a lot of resources. However, there aren’t many volunteers in these organizations, so we need to help them. Personally, I believe that everybody should take part in a charity, specially young people, to collaborate with people who need help.

In the first place, that help could be very useful for themselves. Secondly, they can notice that discrimination is something bad, because everybody has the same equalities. 

So all in all, I think that there are several good reasons for people to become volunteers. Charities are something serious and very important for us. All people have to contribute a bit to make this world a better place to live in. 

TECHNOLOGY

BY JOSÉ MANUEL RUIZ #BTO2C

It is well-known that technology has improved in the last years, and we use it to make our life easier. However, this fact makes that sometimes people need it a lot.

Personally, I think that it can be useful and quick if we need to find any current information. For example, when something has happened in a place of the world, we can know what is happening in two seconds.

Furthermore, in my opinion, if our computer or smartphone gets damaged, we won’t do same vital things. For instance, your boss could tell you to do any homework, and then you have to send it to him. But, if your connection doesn’t work, you wouldn’t be able to hand your work in.

On the whole, I believe people should use technology because it is a good way to expand everything. People must develop it a lot, but we always need to have different ways to solve the problems if we can’t use it.

MOBILE PHONES IN CLASS

BY MARCOS APARICIO #BTO2C

Is it positive or negative the use of mobile phones in class?

It is well-known that mobile phone use has increased over the last few decades, and nowadays more people use a mobile phone to communicate with others and to search information. Of course, this is not different at school.

From my point of view, mobile phones could improve the way the classes are done, since you can search information that you need, and you can do other kind of exercises; for example, playing some games that are positive for the right education.

Furthermore, in my opinion, teachers would have more comfortable classes, as if a student does not know to do anything, he can search it on the Internet.

On the whole, mobile phones should be permitted as they provide a wide range of benefits, and it could be great that one day students could do a good use of the mobile phone in class.

DONATIONS

BY LOLI RAMOS #BTO1D

This topic calls my attention because being a blood and marrow donor is a free privilege, since many lives can be saved by only one donation. 

Even being Spain one of the most generous countries in this aspect, it is never enough. This simple gesture can save the stranger´s life but also people of your family.

From my point of view, in our present society we all should have enough information about what ill people need, because many people could be saved that way. 

We don’t need people like “Pablo Ráez” to realize what we can do with only one donation.

My father has been a donor for fifteen years and he always says that it is frightening, but it is worse that there are people who die because there are not enough donors.  

HOMESCHOOLING

BY MARÍA ARIZA, #BTO2A

Homeschooling is getting more and more popular, specially in countries like The United States. This method consists of giving classes at home, without the necessity of going to school, so children are directed at learning by their parents. There are many advantages, but also many disadvantages.

The points in favour could be that students spend more time studying what is worse for them while discovering the areas in which they stand out. Besides, in the northern countries, where the temperatures are very cold, it is an advantage considering that most of days they could not go to school because of the bad weather. 

On the other hand, the main problem is the lack of coexistence with other children. This is vital for learning in an academic atmosphere and in an personal atmosphere. If the guy doesn’t socialize with others, it will affect him in the future. 

To conclude, this type of school won’t have a great success in Spain in my opinion, since we have splendid teachers.
