  COMMENT 3: POLLUTION Pollution consists of harmful substances to people. They are in air, soil and water. It is harmful because we all need clean air to live, if we breathe polluted air we can get sick, not only people but also plants and animals. An element that pollutes a lot is the smoke expelled by all the cars in the cities, especially trucks and buses. Very old vehicles should also be removed from circulation because they pollute and smell badly  and cause people to cough. Water in rivers is full of rubbish that people throw, chemical substances from factories and can no longer be used for drinking or cooking. What should we do to avoid this? -We must control the smoke released by factories and automobiles. -Use the bike more often and walk as much as possible. -We must be more ecological -We must prevent harmful substances from entering the rivers and seas. Pollution is leading to global warming and new diseases. I think that contamination, if it is not solved, could ...

During adolescence we suffer physical and psychological changes. The physical changes are: your voice changes, armpit and pubic hair grows, facial hair appears, you get taller... The psychic changes: your way of thinking and your behavior is changing, there are more confrontations with your family… At this time of your life you spend most of the time at school and at home, in it you think that you want to be when you grow up, you become more mature... You must choose the friends that are best for you because they are the ones that will influence you to be a good person and not make mistakes. During this period you enjoy more freedom than in childhood. In adolescence, most adolescents try alcohol, something dangerous, because if you abuse it, it has negative repercussions. At this stage, feelings towards anot...

  COMMENT 2: TV Television is a means of communication that informs you of what is happening around the world. It is also a means of entertainment for people who cannot leave their homes. Television is good to make the family stay together while they watch a movie, a program, an informative, a serie… Like everything, watching television has its good things and its bad things. Good things: it entertains you, it informs you, you share time with your family, it relaxes you... Bad things: if you abuse it can damage your eyesight, you can become antisocial because you don't communicate with anyone. You have content that is not suitable for children that can cause a bad influence... With television you can have fun connecting the playstation, switch… In my opinion the invention of television was important and especially now with Smart TV that help us see information from the internet, YouTube and among other things. Nowadays in each house there are usually two to three televisions. Franc...

Many people dress in green clothes and even carry a shamrock. St Patrick was who converted the Irish people to Chistianity. On 17 March the people go to church and then return home to eat a meal with their family celebrate. This festivity has expanded all over the world. The most common drink these days is beer. If I ever visited Dublin I would like to go on this date because the city is full of joy and fun.

COMMENT 16: IRELAND Ireland is a very green and beautiful island, it’s situated in northwest Europe. Its capital is Dublin. Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland(the island of Ireland is divided). At the begiming of the 20th century Ireland was a part of Britain, which was governed from London, but many Irish wanted be free and 1921 when the war of independece ends the south of Ireland became indepedent. The people of the southof Ireland were mainly catholic and the people who lived in the north were mainly protestants and wanted to be part of Britain. So Northern Ireland is in the United Kingdom.

COMMENT 15: GOALS Personal goals are very important in our life, you can get them or no, it depends what you propose. The ideal thing is propose yourself goals that you can archieve. There are 2 types of goals: Short-term goals: You must achieve in a few days (a month or two months) for example: behave well, get along with my sister, don’t shout, obey my parents, improve my behaviour, be calmer, do more sport… And long-term goals: You must archieve in a few months or years for example: finish ESO, get a university degree, do a collage career, get a job… Archieving these goals is hard, you have to work day to day, but you should give up, you must think that you can get them.

COMMENT 24: MOBILE PHONE   Nowadays, teenagers communicate using social networking site like Facebook, twiter, instragram, whatsap… Most teenagers have a mobile phone, laptop, tablet… Firs tly teenagers use them to communicate with their families, their friends from anywhere and at anytime. Other good things is that social networks, entertain you, meet people, inform you, what has happend. As well as good things there are also bad things. Teenagers bully other teenagers by passing photos, saying things… One bad thing is that teenagers spend a lot of time with friends they talk on the call phone instad of talking to each other. Finally, I think Social Networking sites are useful for the teenagers communicate. However they should talk more face to face with their friends and meet them more often. Face to face relationships are better.

COMMENT 23: HONEST Honesty consists in telling the truth even if it does not benefit us. Honest people always tell the truth, they are fair and reasonable. On the contrary, dishonest people are often prone to lying, stealing, cheating, and pretense. Honesty is one of the greatest virtues of the human being. Examples of honesty: When a person drops his wallet on the street, the honest person returns it to its owner. Honest students are the ones who don't copy from the book or from their classmates: if they don't know the answer, then they don't answer. One sentence: No legacy is as rich as honesty. A liar is caught before a lame. I think it is better to act with the truth.

  COMMENT 22: COUNTRYSIDE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. To begin with I would say the first good thig about living in the country is that you breathe clean and fresh air. There isn’t any noise, you wake up to the sound of birds singing. Another good thing is that you can do whatever you want, to jump, sing, shout without disturbing anyone. But above all I would like to live in the countryside because the landscape offers peace and tranquility. However there are some things I don’t like about living in the country, firstly you haven´t neighbours who you sometimes need them. Secondly the distance is a problem when you need to go to the school, the hospital or to the market. But in general I think the ideal is to have two houses, one in the city and another in the country.      

  COMMENT 21: SCHOOL School is the place where we go from childhood to adolescence. It is an obligation that we have to comply. We start from the age of 3, in early childhood education, everything was very good, things get complicated in primary school, and what to say about ESO, we change not only stages and teachers, but also schools and classmates and even towns. At this stage, in which I am now, I met new friends, and I dealt with new changes, I have to get up earlier, I have more subjects and therefore more class hours, the rules are more severe… What I like the most about school is the break, because it helps us to disconnect a bit and chat with our classmates. I really wish it was a little longer. I have always seen school as my second home, we spend a lot of time there, we learn everything, math, language, languages, religion, PE, drawing... and specially it is part of our education, both our parents and teachers are the ones who educate us. In conclusion, I would say that ...

  COMMENT 14: OMICRON Omicron is a variant from Covid-19; the first case was detected in South Africa in November. The most common symptoms are muscle pain, throat pain and fever. It has been proved the people don´t lose taste or smell with this variant. There are more contagions than with the previous variants. It is the fastest virus to infect you. It’s also certain thar the people who get infected die less because most people are vaccinated. The virus spreads earlier indoors or in crowds of people. We must continue wearing a mask to proctect us. In my village there are many infected people. I hope that my family and I don’t get infected us and I hope that Covid-19 disappears.

  COMMENT 13: VEGANS Vegans are people who do not eat animal food products. The main reason for being vegan is animal mistreat. Vegans eat foods that come from plants, instead of drinking animal milk they drink milk that comes from fruits; like soy milk, coconut milk ... and fruit juices like orange juice, pineapple juice ... Vegans to substitute meat eat legumes, cereals, soybeans and vegetables. Vegans by not eating meat have a lack of protein and these foods have it. It would be good to be vegan for a day because fewer animals would die. I believe that I will never be vegan person because I like all products from animals, milk, eggs, fish, meat, blood sausage, chorizo ... Francisco José Prados Espinosa 3ºA

  COMMENT 11: WRITING Last year, on Christmas Eve, my family and I came back home because we had been having dinner at my grandparents’ house and suddenly our car stopped in the middle of the road. It was a dark night and it was very cold. Nobody was passing by to help us and my father did not know what was happening to the car. My sister and I were really scared. Luckily my father had the cell phone and inmediately called my uncle. Fortunately after about half an hour my uncle arrived and he drove us home. The next morning my father thought it could be the battery and he was right. It was a horrible experience with an happy ending. Francisco José Prados Espinosa 3ºA  

  COMMENT 10: BIG BOTTLE Big bottle is the place where young people meet, it is usually outdoors; in this place young people listen to music, talk to each other, dance and drink alcoholic drinks that they have bought in supermarkets, so getting drunk is cheaper. To go to the big bottle you must be 18 years old, although people do not respect it, and there are children as young as 14 years old. I think that drinking alcohol so young is not good, on the contrary, it is bad for our organism, for our brain, it even creates addiction and it is also the cause of many fights between teenagers. I have not tried alcohol yet, I only drink juices, coke, fanta ... I think it is the best for me because seeing 14-year-olds who get drunk is not a sign of maturity otherwise immaturity. I think a world without alcohol would be the best.    Francisco José Prados Espinosa 3ºA

  COMMENT 8: HALLOWEEN Halloween party has its origins in the United States and began to be celebrated with the name "Samhaim" ,which means "end of summer". It is celebrated on October 31st. People, on October 31 dress up as monsters, witches, vampires, skeletons ... and they knock on houses and say "trick or treat" and many people give them candy. People disguise themselves that day because it means that the dead spirits return to the world of the living. In my town and in my school there are passages of terror that night. On Halloween, houses are decorated to make them look scary with pumpkins, bats, ghosts, witches, spiderweb, spiders... On Halloween, people who don't go out watch scary movies. Every year I dress up with a mask and I go with my friends along the streets of my town. Francisco José Prados Espinosa 3º

  COMMENT 7: DOGS A dog is a domestic animal and is man's best friend, never betrays him. Dogs give company to lonely people , guide blind people, help rescue people, search for drugs ... Having a dog implies responsibility such as taking it out for a walk to relieve itself (you have to pick it up), bathe it, feed it, play with it, vaccinate it ... A saying says "they get along like cats and dogs" this means that cats and dogs get along badly. There are dogs of different sizes, the smallest is called a Chihuahua and the largest is a Danish. A dog is considered old at 14 years because it usually dies at 15 or 16 years I would like to have a dog but my parents don't want it. They consider that it is a lot of responsibility.

  COMMENT 6: SPORT Sport is an activity that people do to have a good time with their friends and family. Sport is used to exercise the body and move the skeleton as it must be kept in good physical condition. In sport there are many individual or team activities. In the individual activities we can highlight running, swimming, cycling ... In team activities, for example, football is played by 2 teams of 11 players (10 players and 1 goalkeeper), basketball is played by 2 teams of 5 players, and the winner is the one with the most baskets. Sport allows us to relax, forget about the routine, disconnect and also have fun. Ultimately it improves our health. In my spare time I like riding my bike and playing football.

COMMENT 5: ELECTRICITY   Electricity is essential to live almost everything works with electricity: to make food (the vitro), to keep food fresh (fridge), to keep food frozen (freezer), to dry our hair (dryer), to combat the heat (fan), to combat the cold (radiator) and many more electronic devices for different functions. We also have to give it the importance that it has because it allows us to see at night as well as to be able to drive our vehicles and respect the traffic lights. Electricity, although we do not realize it, is very, very important in our life and thanks to it we have such a good life, in other countries where they do not have this magnificent invention of electricity, it does not have as many opportunities as we have, therefore I think that it is necessary to take advantage of it, but well used. The bad thing about electricity is that it is a very expensive tax, we must use it only when it is necessary. Francisco José Prados Espinosa 3º
