Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a holiday in which you spend more time with the people who you love and that is the best of it. It is time for loving and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, in the Christian religion.

It is sad this holiday has become a bit material because for example, children prefer receiving gifts and having a lot of toys than meeting their cousins, aunts, auncles, grandparents and having a good time. 

But well, in the other hand it is understandable, because they are children and they aren't able yet to know what really matters.

And what really matters isn't the fact of receiving gifts, what really matters is knowing that every member of your family and all of your friends are alive and healthy, and you are still in time to enjoy by their side.

Moreover, Christmas holiday remind you that it is the time in which you can share beautiful moments with the people who is important for you, and the people who you are important for.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Jesus Christ is born in every heart of every person who is ready to belive.
Belive in luck, believe in your family, believe in your friends and more specially, believe in oneself.

Some people want to hurt you; be careful !

We think people will trate us in the same way we trate them and that's a huge mistake because many times we are  let down  by people from who we didn't expect that and that is so sad.
To my mind, we mut trust on people until we think we don't have to trust on them no more but if we don't believe in what they say or do since the first moment we meet them, we don't let them have the opportunity to show if they are reliable or not.

Essay : The purpose of ducation

What's the real purpose of education? Does it exist because of educating people or do educated people exist because of education? Is it focussed on improving people's own interests or on improving the development of a country because of the government interests? May be it is difficult to know why the government of every country want the education to improve, if it is because of getting in a better position with regard to the rest of countries or if it is a sincere desire to let inhabitants get what they want.

But at the end of the day the purpose isn't what matter the most but the results of the education plan.

Education is a realy important part of many people's life, no matter if someone stopped his/her studies when he/she finished the primary studies or if continued his/hers studies at university.
What you've learned, will always be in your head throughtout your life and it will be realy useful for you to be succesful in many things you'll do.

In adittion, education is a main tool to learn the best way to talk and express yourself, what to my mind is even more important than learning theory or how to solve a maths questions.

It doesn`t mean those things aren't important because both help you to improve your memory or to compare different points of view, what will help you to get your own ideas, opinion and conclusions about different issues.

I must add too that I think education should be a more free choice and that no one should feel pressured to study anyway because I think it is a personal choice and the society, above all your relatives and your friends are always saying you to study because if you don't study a degree you will be a failed person in life.

To my mind it isn't good for no one because every person must do what they think that will make them happy and take them closer to their complete happiness, and there are many people who don't want to continue with their studies, and that's not enough reason to make them feel abortive people.

In conclusion, I think education is a main tool to shape yourself as a person and get your own character, appart of letting you have the oportunity of doing and being what you want in your future but society shouldn't pressure people too much because they are free to chose what they want to do and if they don't continue studying at university it isn't the end of the world.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

A crazy girl, a girl with aspirations in life. The kind of girl who doesn't care about what people can say about her, the one that do what she wants and wants to take on the world till the end.
She wants to continue growing but she still has many mistakes to be made, trying to wipe away the problems and get as far as she is able to .
I must say she is a girl who is self-assured, burst onto the scene and love every little thing of life as if it was the biggest best thing. DO YOU KNOW WHY? Every woman deserves being and feeling this way.

THINK LESS, SMILE MORE

Everything change, everything has been changing, anything is the same. Everybody is in a constant change, in a change that NEVER ENDS. We are the owners of our lifes, the main characters of a story, the story that is the life. Get what you want, fight, take risks.

Don't stay in doubt about what would happen and just do it. Think less, enjoy more because that is the essence of life,

Introduction and Conclusion : Bullfighting

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Does bullfighting deserve to be part of the Spanish culture? is it an art? or is it just an act of torture and lack of morality? The number of people who is against bullfighting is increasingly in both cases, abroad and inside the country.
But,although many people is against it if it continue existing is because there are still many people who are bullfighting lovers and watch bullfights on TVs and go to the bullring to see it, what do you think about it?






C O N C L U S I O N

Summing up, I must say bullfighting is doomed to failure because most of people who like bullfighting are senior citizens and almost all of young people have another totally different and new mentality which is more awared against the animal mistreatment and is closer to the rest of Europe countries mindset.

Friendship or Relationship : What is more important?

People are wrong when they chose to spend more time with their partners than with their friends.
There are many people who set aside their friends in order to spend more time with their partners and, to my mind, that's a wrong choice because you have to ask to yourself who would  be by your side when everything is going bad in your life, and yes, it is possible that your partner will be by your side, but.. what if one day you have a stong argument? who will advice, comfort and help you to feel good?



Friends are the most important thing in the world, along with the family.
Rather, friends should be called family too because true friends are always by your side, as your family,through thick and thin, and that is the reason why you have to take care of them, because you don't have to forget that before your partner who were always helping you and making you smile were your friends. Don't forget.

So sad..

This year, I am living in a student residence in Murcia and there, I met a boy who is from the same town as me. I didn't know everything was going to be so quick when you live with somebody.

When I was by his side I felt like no one else was around but us,

like there weren't any problems in my life.I was happy, so much happy, much more happy than I had never been before. He made me smile at least 200 times a day and I was a little bit blind because I just felt happy but I hadn't realised I was falling in love and that I loved him much more than he loved me.
Most of people told me he wasn't kind to me, that he was always jocking with other girls as he used to do with me.
The thing is that it was true and I started to realise I wasn't the only one for him but even so, I still though he may love me as I did.
It was getting so hard for me to see the way he started to look a girl who live in the student residence and I decided to tell him that I didn't wanted to continue our relationship, not because I didn't love him but because I wasn't feeling good.
Some days after it happened, he decided to talk to me and he told me he couldn't be without me, that he missed me more than he thought he was going to miss me, and we decided to try again in order to see if we were going to be able to be in a nice way together but the thing is that if you say someone to try again, you are supposed to change the things you did wrong before. Well, he continued in the same way: jocking with other girls, talking and flirting with the girl I mentioned before and I continued feeling bad.
So, as I was angry and upset I made a great mistake that made me lose him, I don't know if that was for good or for bad, but what I know is that it wasn't the better way to end.
Everybody in the student residence told me he was feeling bad for me, but I don't think he wasn't feeling as bad as I was feeling during the relationship and as bad as I am feeling right now.
I went to talk to him after all of this happened, and I asked him for forgiveness at least 8 times, I asked him to be friends but he didn't wanted to, at least for the moment. I understood.
What I don't understad is why he show me one part of him and he show another one to the rest of the people because with me he's so cute and he show me that he loves me (when I went to talk to him he was almost crying. Obviously, I broke down in tears) and when he's with other people it is like he is OK. Well, the thing is that last night, I saw him  with the other girl talking and flirting for at least two hours and I couldn't understand what was happening, I still don't know, because she's supposed to have a boyfriend and he's supposed to love me but that's not what I'm seeing. I'm just getting a little bit obsessed, I think. And that isn't good for me at all. I must forget him but it is going to be so difficult for me.

Music means being alive

There are many kind of songs: the song you listen when you are happy to express your happiness, the songs that make you dance and feel crazy, like there is nothing and nobody around. Just you and the way you are happy, at the moment you are listening to this kind of songs you don't care about anything.
                 The songs you listen to when you are sad are the kind of songs that make yoy feel understood because of their lyrics when you feel nobody is able to understand you and your problems. When you explain to a lot of people what happens to you but you know that although you explain all of the details, no one would be able to stand in your shoes and  know your feelings.

Although we don't realize we are listening to music the most of the time, the reality is that music is almost everywhere. For instance, when you  watch a film or the TV or when you come into a shop or a supermarket.

I wouldn't be able to imagine a life without music, because music keep us alive. When we are in love, when we hate someone, when we suffer disappointments, when we love our friends, relatives and our life. There's always a great song for every feeling.

Prejudging people

It's exciting the way people are able to hide their feelings just faking a smile, and the way each person think everybody is happy but themselves. It is happening all the time and we don't realize about it because we are too much self-centric although we deny we are and we aren't able to see more than we see by our eyes.

Imagine it is 9:00 am and you are going to work: On your way you see tens of faces that keep thousands of stories and we never stop to think about it, the quantity of feelings and thoughts everybody have in their minds.

On the contrary, we judge people without knowing them, and not only them, but also the experiences that lead them to be the way they are.

To my mind, it is sad that many people judge other people without knowing them just because of first impressions.
We should take some time in order to know people and just then, we will be able to draw conclusions about them.

Racism

The coexistence in the world has always been a problem because humans are reluctant to accept anyone who is not like them and that is why in many cases any race that is not their own is despised.
Therefore, racism arises.

Through the years there had been different kind of racism, as the famous and sad slavery of black people at hands of white people.

Nowadays, racism still exists but it is increasingly diminishing more and more because people is raising awareness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my mind, the solution to this problem is just changing our mind in order to accept people who is not like us, take away our prejudices, improve our self-esteem and realise that people who is not like us must have the same rights as us because we all are humans, and we all are able to breath, think and feel.

In my opinion, it is the biggest nonsense becoming badly us to each other instead helping us to each other to lessen our problems and having a nice coexistence, what would help us to be happier than we are. Pace and mutual aid are the main tools to have a nice coexistence.

How "I was here - Beyoncé" makes me feel

Firstly, I must say Beyoncé is one of my favourite singers because I think the most important tool to be one of the best singers, apart from having an amazing voice ( as she has ), is making people feel and believe in what the song is saying , and she obviously does. That's just one of the reasons why I unconditionaly love her and the way she transmits to whoever's heart all what she wants only by the way she sings.

Secondly, I chose to write about what that song makes me feel because I feel like I am singing that song while I listen to it, I feel really identified with it because I often think about the sense and the end of life, and the way I want people to remember me when I'll die. 

It may be so sad nobody will know about you though the years, and your life has not served for anything in the world, so I don't like at all to think about it because that's the crude reality and I prefer to live my present in the best way that I can.

Beyoncé - I Was Here : One of my favourite songs

Food and healthy lifestyle

Eating healthy food and practicing sport at least once or twice a week can help you to improve your mental and physical health and then, it will let you feel better and being able to face your day easily.

 I must say that it doesn`t matter if you are not used to these habits, this is the moment to change and improve your life and the only thing you need is a little bit of willpower and effort.

Therefore,  you can go for a run twice a week for thirty minutes and not eating meals like sweets, sugar, salt and sauces, or just decrease the amount of the intake of this kind of food, which is not healthy at all, and increase the amount of intake of vegetables, fish and fruit.

As you can see, the effort doesn't have to be a tremendously great effort, and with a bit of willpower you can easily get the result you want in order to improve yout well-being, which will bring positive consequences to your life.

The importance of education

Education is a realy important part of my life and of many people's life, no matter if someone stopped his studies when he finished the primary studies or if continued his studies at university.
What you've learnt, will always be in your head throughtout your life and it will be realy useful for you to be succesful in many things you'll do.

In addittion, education is a main tool to learn the best way to talk and express yourself, what to my mind is even more important than learning theory or how to solve a maths questions.

It doesn`t mean those things aren't important because both help you to improve your memory or to compare different points of view, what will help you to get your own conclusions about different issues.

In conclusion, I think education is a main tool to shape yourself  as a person and get your own character.

Try to be different from the rest of the people just cause being normal is boring. Break the rules and don't think about what anybody could say about you. Just be yourself, cause anybody else will be like you. Don't forget to love yourself. Do what you love and love what you do.

"Real life is a funny thing, you know. I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life and looking back regretting the moments we didn’t speak up. When we didn’t say ‘I love you’. When we should have said 'I’m sorry’. So there’s a time for silence, and there’s a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, you’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now"
 - Taylor Swift

Opinion essay : "Bullying"

It is a shame there are so many bullying cases.

Miles of children and teenagers suffer by fault of the maliciousness of some people that, in my opinion, need to mess with other people in order to feel better with themselves because of their lack of self-esteem, wich is the main problem.

Apparently it looks like most of people is sensitized against bullying, and several steps are being taken in schools,  high schools, and even in universities, but the thing is that the most serious cases of bullying are sometimes the least noticeable, the cases which don't occur in the open, but by social networks, messages, and other tools that make still more cowardly people who bully.

There's too much to say when seven out of ten children and young people have experienced some form of bullying. Indeed, he proportion is too large.

Therefore, I hope bullying will be largely resolved.

Peer response: "My room's partner"

_____

Three weeks ago, I came to live in Murcia because of my studies and I met my room's partner.
Her name's Carmen,as mine, and she's from Almería.
At the moment I saw her for the first time I knew we were going to be good friends and I think I wasn't wrong at all. I've known her for three weeks and we're like sisters; we spend almost all the day together and with her I just feel like I was at home and I can be myself, what I think is the most important in order to share your days and a part of your life.
I know that if I joke she won't get angry and it happens the same to her with me, so when I joke and I make mockery about her accent, we just laugh together.She's so funny.
She's always smiling and jocking and that's so nice because I want optimistic people to be by my side and to laugh and have fun because we both love going out and we've got alike likes: we both love languages (English and French), we listen to the same music..
I don't know her very well but I think she's a person I'll be able to trust on  and we'll live great moments together.

______

Dear Carmen María, I like very much your essay because it is well organized and the structure is appreciable and simple, so the ideas are presented correctly. However, I think you could add another supporting sentences so as I can know more about her. That's to say, I think your essay is too short, and it would be better to enlarge it.
Summing up, I think the essay is nice, but some more information should be added.

Somebody to Die For

Fear of...

Fear of my weakness
Fear of believing
Fear of the darkness
Fear of endings
Fear of not standing that tall
Fear of not being fine
Fear of the fall
Fear of losing my mind
Fear of the pain in my breast
Fear of not being able to fly
Fear of our  love's death
Fear of failing when I try
Fear of  being alone
Fear of not knowing what to do
Fear of having you in my bones
Fear of  losing  you

"THE GUERNICA"

"The Guernica" is a picture which was painted by the famous spanish painter Pablo Picasso and, when I look at it, the only feeling I have is a sense of pain and misery because of the creatures that appear in the box, wich look like they're screaming looking for any kind of comfort.

Some of the creatures look like monsters because their faces and bodies are irregular and broken down and definitely, that's something that increase my feelings of terror and disgust about this strange picture.

May be there are infinite ways to understand the meaning of this picture and that's the beauty of the art but I think the right one way to understand what the painter want to show to the public with his art in this piece is the story of the pain in different situations.

For example , on the left we can see the pain of a mother with her dead child on his arms and in the bottom of the scene a dead warrior is painted.

To sum up, I must say that I think these examples were well-elected in order to represent the history of human disasters, as war, disease or death.

The way fashion influences young people

Most of young people are always thinking about the way they look, looking for a reference, looking for social acceptation, but many of them just find emotional instability.
This is a very current issue because we are in a world wich is full of shallownes and advertising is constantly showing us a patern to follow in order to be "the perfect man" or "the perfect woman".
Does perfection exist? I don't think so.

Because of this, young people who still don't know what identity they have, just flounder and follow certain patterns wich usualy harms them.


I must also mention the influence of fashion on the feeding of each person, due to mismactches between clothing sizes and size. Sizes are the same as before but clothing size is more and more small. Some days ago I went to "Zara Shop" and a "38" size seemed a "34" size.

In conclusion, fashion is too much harmful if people give it a lot of importance, so we must dress as we like and accept ourselves because if we don't accept ourselves nobady else will.

Advantages and disadvantages for universitary students of living on a flat

To begin with, I must say that I'm in my first university course and I'm living in a students housing but I'll live on a flat for the next university courses.

On the one hand if you live on a flat you will be able to do almost whatever you want, like parties and meeting lots of friends and you can eat whatever you want.
From my point of view, the most important reason to live on a flat is that it's cheapper and you can spend more money on going out or buying clothes, for instance.

On the other hand, living on a flat with other people could be a little bit dificult because of the cohabitation, problems with the distribution of the housework.
In addition, it is less comfortable for you because you have to cook and do the houseworking losing a lot of  your studying time.

To sum up I must say that living on a flat isn't a bad choice but I recommend students to live in a students housing at least on the first course of university because everything's new and it would be more comfortable for them to support your studies on a nice way.
