ARE GIFTS PERJUDICIAL FOR KIDS?

BY ADRIÁN SÁNCHEZ #BTO2D

Every year, we spend more than 700€ (seven hundred euros) in Christmas presents.
There are many families who buy expensive presents and all kinds of things for the sons, daughters, cousins and family while other families can´t  celebrate Christmas because they don´t have enough money.

Which children will appreciate these presents?

I agree with the news when they say that children who receive all they want are more selfish and have less imagination than the rest.

In my opinion, parents should put limit to this problem, and communicate it to the rest of the family because we are at the point that the only thing we do is buying and spending.

THE HUNGER GAMES

BY ÁLVARO MÁRQUEZ #BTO1D
My favourite book is The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games is a popular story about a catastrophic future which explains  the society nowadays very well.

Katniss Everdeen is the main character of the book. She lives in the 12th district. Every year, the evil Capitol of the nation forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy as well as a girl to fight for their lives.

I personally love this type of stories, because it's like a criticism of the way to separate poverty and weath, and how to force people to fight for life. Injustice experienced by the main characters reflects many people who live every single day against evil governments.

So, if you haven't got this book, I recommend you to read it, and if you like it, you can share it with your friends.

THE USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

BY MIRIAM GÓMEZ #BTO1B

Nowadays more and more people of different ages use social networks for several things. There are some advantages and disvantages concerning their use. But, how far are these useful?

On the one hand, people use social networks to communicate with other people and keep in touch with them. People could find jobs through them, too.

On the other hand,  at present, most teenagers are hooked on their computers and mobile phones. Therefore, they no longer talk so much with their family. They could leave some responsibilities aside. Moreover, they could fail because they spend more time with social networks .

In my opinion, social netwoks could be useful. However, we  must use them carefully in order not to have any problems, such as becoming addict to these networks.

YOUNG PEOPLE & SMOKING

BY ALBA SÁNCHEZ #BTO1D
In Spain, there are many young people under eighteen who start smoking at the age of fourteen. When we go out or go to places like a park or a party, we see a lot of big groups of young people smoking. In spite of the warning which comes from our parents and some friends, they still do it although they are aware of its danger.
In my opinion, young people want to be older than they are, but they don’t know that these young people will reduce their life expectancy in the future. It can also produce fatal issues; for example, many different types of cancer and breathing problems. Equally, cigarettes spoil your teeth, your physical shape, and they are very expensive.
Against that, they can stop smoking, but if that is too difficult, they should go to a doctor who will help them.

RUNNING: STYLE OR SPORT?

BY NATALIA ALMAGRO #BTO1D

Haven't you ever seen a person running on the street? You have to have seen it. Running is said to be a new fashion, and I absolutely agree with it.

It's one of my favourite sports, and in my opinion, it's different from other sports because it doesn't have rules! The only thing you have to pay attention to is running.

However, if you see people running, you will be able to differentiate two types of runners. There are people who wear a tracksuit and there are people who wear special clothes, but if you want to wear those clothes you will have to spend a lot of money. I think that, sometimes, people think about clothes but, from my point of view, it isn´t the most important thing because any tracksuit is useful.

I would really recommend it to you if you like sports. Besides, it will be pretty easy for you to go running because you don't have to be rich or sporty to do it, everybody can!
Furthermore, you will notice changes in your body very quickly. 
It's just running at your own pace!

MALVIVIENDO, THE FUNNIEST SERIES IN THE WORLD

BY PABLO MARTÍNEZ #BTO1D

Malviviendo is a Spanish TV series that takes place in Seville. It's a comedy and it tells the story of some families and their daily lives.

The main character comes from the Canary Islands, and he's also a rap singer. He appears in mostly every chapter and he gives us such a good vision of real life, but with a funny and moving touch.

There are lots of characters and each of them has a comic, humoristic or funny side.

Al in all, I recommend every one who'd like to have fun to watch this series from the very beginning, it will show you what happens to ordinary people and you will also empathize with every or mostly every character.

A CONSPIRACY THEORY STORY

BY MARTA HUESO #BTO1D
Not far from the place where I live there is a beautiful forest. It´s behind my house and it´s always dark. People don´t go there very often. It´s only on sunny days that brave people go in for a walk. But it´s not only because of darkness that people don´t go, but also because they believe that it´s dangerous to stay alone over there.
The story goes the following way. One day, in the middle of the last year, some runners were resting. Suddenly, they heard a sound. They saw a strage criature with long hair, red eyes, and a tail. They were absolutely scared of it, and they tried to escape. But just then, a heavy storm began. They have never seen again since then, but their clothes were found a few days later.

To be honest, I don´t belive a single word of the story, because we imagine weird things in the dark, and probably someone confused clothes with rubish. To conclude, I have always lived here and I haven´t seen anything.

FAST FOOD

BY CARLA CHAVARRÍA #BTO1D

In the last years, this kind of food has become very important in the society through big fast food restaurants, like McDonald and Burger King, which are the most famous.

In general, the importance of fast food is because a lot of people haven´t got time to cook in their regular lives, but some studies made by several universities show that these foods have become the favorite for worldwide population although sometimes these foods are making to increase the number of illnesses year by year.

Young people prefer the fast food before food made by their parents and they are the main buyers of this kind of food, I think that people should eat healthier food and be aware of the risks that its excessive consumition involves because, day by day, children's lives are changing, and it could produce some physical changes in their bodies or their own mouths, like in their teeth.

THE IMPACT OF DAILY LIFE

BY RUBÉN CUÉLLAR #BTO2D

Today, work is crucial for our lives, but if we spend too much time on it, we will develop an unhealthy habit. It is clear to me that people who dedicate their lives to work have a stressful life.

I believe that it is better to work fewer hours and earn less money, because, in this situation, we could have more free time to do sports, eat well and enjoy moments with our family. This can make us look good. But, on the other hand, if we spend a lot of hours working hard, although we earn more money, we couldn´t have leisure time. So, we might live in a stressful situation, and it can cause that we will be in risk of suffering illnesses and depression.

In conclusion, I think that it is better to have a heathy life, even though we have an adjusted salary.

THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF PEOPLE UNDER 40 MADE THE DECISIONS

BY ANDREA ASTORGA #BTO1B

If people under 40 made the decisions, the world would be very different, good for some people and bad for others, because at each age people think differently. Older people are usually more responsible than youngsters. Moreover, the cultural and educational level is also important.

This statement is something real, but there are some young people who are very mature and hard-working, so we can think they may be prepared to make important decisions.

In a survey on this topic people from Spain showed that they didn't like this statement because they disagree with the idea that states that youngsters can not make correct decisions. I believe this statement is difficult to defend.

I think that older people are much more experienced, they have been on this world longer and know the consequences of actions. This is why they may know the final result of these actions.

Younger people can think that older people don't know about new or modern life. However, they have essential values of life to offer to younger people to behave correctly everyday.

THE FORCE AWAKENS: MY REVIEW

BY JAMES HAAG #BTO1D

The movie was released this year in mid December. It is basically about an empire (The First Order) that wants to destroy the Jedi, the rebels, and anyone who is a threat to them. They also want full control of the galaxy. 

I found the movie kind of disappointing for three main reasons. First of, I felt like the movie lacked creativity. Second of, I wasn’t impressed by Kylo Ren´s character. Finally, Rey´s control over the force didn’t seem reasonable to me.

The movie lacked creativity because it had no original plot. The movie essentially covered all of the same plots as the original trilogy. I didn’t feel like I was seeing anything new, nor was there any risks. Perhaps that was the objective of the director. As a Star Wars fan, and someone who has read the books, this movie was definitely a let down. However, there are Star Wars fans who did enjoy the movie because it was the computation of the trilogy with special effect and an overall good casting. 

I felt like Kylo Ren is the worst Sith in all the star wars movies. In my opinion, he was to quick to take off his mask, and that showed weakness and lack of confidence. If he ‘d waited longer, the character would have been far more interesting. On top of that, he didn’t even look like a bad boy. I thought that he would have battle marks on his face to show the tests he faced. 

Another thing I didn’t like was Rey´s quick ability to control the force when it took the strongest Jedi months to learn under great masters with strict training.  I found it quite out of line. 

In conclusion, the movie wasn´t bad. It just wasn´t as great as I had hoped for.

THE GLASS SLIPPER: MY OPINION

BY BELÉN GALLEGO #BTO1D
Original title: Cinderella.
Year: 1950.
Genre: Fantasy, Romance.
Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures. All Public.

Walt Disney Pictures brings us a story led to cinemas in the 1950’s: Cinderella.

This film tells the story of a beautiful young woman who lives with her stepmother and her two stepdaughters. She is in charge of cleaning the house and attending the family, until one day a prince comes to the place, and the stepmother locks up the girl, while her stepdaughters prepare to meet the newcomer.

Firstly, it’s a magical and entertaining film. You can not stop watching it. It will make you feel their sadness and joy.

On the other hand, if you've seen this version and you did not like it, you probably don’t like fantasy films.

In my opinion, if you like films of princesses and you like the love stories with happy endings, you have to watch it. And you can also watch the new version of this classic, equally amazing, with real characters.

IS IT GOOD TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE?

BY JULIO CABALLERO #BTO2D

Many people understand “a good life” as an easy life, with no obstacles that make it more complex to achieve your goals. However, is the adjective “good” properly used in this context?

From my point of view, having a comfortable life is not always advantageous. Owning less things makes you appreciate what you have more, whereas, if you receive everything you ask for, you don’t value anything. In addition, I think dreaming is essential, and a person who has everything can no longer dream. Imagine a boy with a medium-class mobile phone. He will be dreaming of having a better one. However, a boy with an iPhone will have no aims (in regards to this issue), as he has the best smartphone possible. In other words, improvements are possible unless you are or you have the best.

To sum up, I would say that “a good life” is beneficial up to a point, in which you are satisfied with your situation but you still have further goals. You will be likely to be happy if you do not have “such a good life”.

MOBILE PHONES: MY OPINION

 BY AMPARO PÉREZ #BTO1D

Nowadays, there are many people who can't live without a mobile phone. They use them in the beach, the park, and also when they are with their families and friends. Is it something good?

In the first place, the advantage is that you can take it with you whenever and wherever you want. Thanks to these new gadgets, you can talk to someone who is elsewhere or send a photo, but on the other hand, you don't really enjoy the physical activities or experiences which are happening there because you aren't able to share them with other people. Finally, mobile phones exist to help ourselves and make us the life easier but also to harm us socially and physically, specially to our health due to its microwaves.

In conclusion, I think that mobile phones are useful although you have to know how and when you have to use them properly.

THE WIND'S SHADOW

 BY MARÍA SERRANO #BTO1B

This is a review about ''The Wind's Shadow''. It was written by C.R.Zafón. The book has got intrigue, suspense and love.
It tells how a boy called Daniel discovers Carax's mistery, his favourite writer. That happens in Barcelona in the early 20th century.
I couldn't stop reading since I opened it. I like the way the author describes the city and his humour, too.
When I finished it, I couldn't start another book for a few month. Because when I started, I just thought about it. It was as if i missed the characters. I was specially attached to Fermín Romero de Tormes.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to live an exciting story.

MANAGING MONEY AND APPLYING FOR JOB AS ACADEMIC SUBJECTS

BY LOURDES MEDIALDEA, #BTO1D
The ordinary academic subjects, such as Maths or Languages, are the most important things to learn that would help you in your professional life. I totally agree with that. If you do not learn this basic skill you could never go into a college and have a degree. And also, to join a college, you need to have such high marks. 

On the other hand, we all know that, when we start "the adult life", like living alone and having our own bank account, you realize how much you really need some help from someome who has done all these things before. I know that teaching that subject might be a bit difficult. 

To sum up, it would be great to have a subject like that, and it would help us a lot, but we probably would have less hours of other subjects, such as PE or Art.

YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD READ CLASSIC BOOKS

BY BEATRIZ ARMILLAS, #ESO3D
Currently, young people read many ´best-sellers´ and they forget to read the most important books. Present ´best-sellers´ are about love or about a fantasy world. They deal with shallow topics, and they´ve got a very simple writing normally.

In my opinion, young people should read classic books or awarded books. Why? First of all, because they´ve got a crafted writing, and people can learn a lot of vocabulary or expressions from them. Secondly, because there are many important books that make you think about some topic, like humanity, power, society, relationships… They influence you along all your life. Finally, because a lot of ´best-sellers’ are based on great classic stories. For example, current ´dystopias´ (books that are about a vision of a society with very bad life conditions in the future) are based on the classic ´Brave new world´ (by Aldous Huxley), considered the first ´dystopia´.

As a conclusion, teenagers ought to read world literature books. They give us a grateful knowledge. So, what are they waiting for?

COMPULSORY FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES

BY MARIANA MÁRQUEZ #BTO2B

Nowadays, in my country, like in the majority of the whole countries, the study of a foreign language is compulsory in primary and secondary school, and I agree with that.

First of all, learning a foreign language will be helpful for our working life. On the one hand, because we would be able to work in another country if we did not find a job in our country. On the other hand, this would be an advantage over the other candidates for a job. Furthermore, if we know more than one language, it would be easier to make a booking in a hotel, asking for an address, or renting a car if we travel abroad on holidays. Moreover, it is thought that people who speak several languages are more open-minded and, as a result, they are able to understand the other points of view.

In conclusion, because of all these reasons, I believe studying a foreign language has to be part of people's education.

TECHNOLOGY, MY #OPINION

 By CLAUDIA PAREJO, #BTO2B
Nowadays, technology is present in a high level in human´s life. The question is, is it an advantage or disadvantage for humans?

Technology has had a massive development in the past few years; it has become an essential part of our everyday life, and it has also noticeably helped people increasing their life expectancy, curing diseases, and improving the quality of life, but the misuse people are giving to it is causing the upcoming of their destruction. This destruction does not occur only in humans, but also in the environment. We can see it in the environment in the massive pollution that new technologies bring to nature. As for the destruction of human beings, who are increasingly dependent on new technologies, such as in the mobile phone case, whose use is essential for people from all ages these days.

To my mind, new technologies are important to move forward, but humans have to find the best possible use of it, avoiding damage to nature and protecting themselves from it.
In conclusion, on the one hand, I think that new technologies are crucial today, and therefore, people should investigate to make progresses in this sector. On the other hand, I believe that people should learn to make a  good use of them. We must protect nature, because if all of this disapears, that is all we have.

CELEBRITIES INFLUENCE ON YOUNG PEOPLE

BY MARIANA MÁRQUEZ #BTO2B
Nowadays, we live in a world where, especially thanks to social MEDIA, we can know what all our FAVOURITE stars are doing daily. Are young people being influenced by celebrities because of that? In my opinion, of course they are.
First of all, we can take the example of their wardrobe because we are inspired by singers looks in their videoclips, or by actors in galas to be always up with the lastest trends.
Although we can name celebrities like Miley Cyrus, whose provocative twerking has been copied by girls all around the world.
Moreover, they launch styles, like the one of the "selfie", which started with the photo taken at the Oscars ceremony in which we can see actors like Brad Pitt or Jennifer Laurence. Besides, in other occasions it can do us join supportive MOVEMENTS, as the ice bucket challenge to promote awareness of the disease ALS, or the recent "je suis Charlie" (I'm Charlie) for the defense of the right of expression freedom.
In conclusion, it is true that celebrities influence young people nowadays, so we have to choose our role model carefully.

EXTREME RELIGIOUS, MY OPINION

BY DANIEL DE ASÍS #BTO2C
Last 7 January, there was a horrible attack in the office of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Two masked-men killed twelve employees of the magazine. The terroristS were muslim origin. Possibly, they were anNoyed because of the publication of many drawings making fun of Alá, the muslim god.
In my opinión, I think that we can't be MUCH too extreme. You can be religious , but you should be tolerant.
On this case, it is very hard because you can't kill anybody for doing his job, that in this case it is drawing in a magazine.
Muslim are very radical with their religion. They always have wars because of religious issues.
The government should take action in that events. We can't allow people who make the religion a reason to murder.
In conclusion, it hasn't any justification. Government should make PEOPLE aware about the values of people's life.

THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELECTRONIC RUBBISH

 BY NACHO GUERRERO #BTO2C

As time goes by, technology is even more present in one'S everyday life. Every year, new models of all technology ranges come up, and the old ones are replaced.

So, where do all these old devices end up? 

Even though there are strict rules about exportation, the electronic rubbish mostly endS up in Ghana or China. The most developed countries produce about 50 million tons of these residues, which the 75% of them dissapear ilegally. Furthermore, just in the UE, one third of electronic rubbish is recycled appropriately.

Therefore, the 'lost' rubbish is accumulated in poor countries, like Ghana, where toxic chemicals of all of those old and broken devices are a huge health risk. Inhabitants bet there lives just for some materials they can find like gold, silver, neodymium... These risky jobs and the illegal exportation from developed countries conform a bigger business than drugs.
