OPINION ESSAY

Every  year there are more people living in big cities, like New York, Barcelona… Therefore, there are more children growing up in big cities. But we prefer children grow up in the countryside.

Firstly, the children that grow up in little villages have more freedom; they can play outdoors with their friends with security. They have more possibilities to have an accident in big cities due to cars or motorbikes.

Secondly, children are more relaxed in the countryside, because there aren't a lot of cars like in big cities. And also they don’t hear the horn of the cars and so at night they can sleep better.

Lastly we think that it is better that they live in the countryside because they grow up more confident and calm.

WRITING DEFINITIONS

A boring friend is a friend that talks about things that I don’t like or I don’t care about. And he doesn't go out with me or his other friends. I’m not interested in this type of people.

An exciting moment, it’s when I do dangerous things and I like them. I feel so good when I do exciting things.

An interesting film, is a love film, action or comedy. Last weekend I went to the cinema to 

watch the film: Insurgent. This film is about love, and action. I liked a lot and that is an example of an interesting film.

A worry situation is when you have a problem and you can’t solve or it is very difficult to solve.

Annoying classmate are the classmates who bother other people and don’t let work the other people. For example, a classmate who speaks aloud, and doesn’t let work, is annoying.

FINISH THE SENTENCES

I get annoyed when I wake up in the morning at the weekend and I can’t sing, listen music, watch the TV or make noise, because my sister is sleeping.

I feel embarrassed when I go somewhere and I don’t know anybody.

I am shocked when I find a book that I like, because I don’t like reading.

I feel relaxed after doing sport. I don’t know it, but I feel relaxed.

I’m interested in people who are agreeable and happy. I like laughing and the people who make me laugh. 

ASKING FOR ADVICE

Dear Berta,

Do you remember that I was going out with Jack? Well, the other day Jana told me that he was flirting with one of my best friends, Marina, at her birthday party.

I couldn’t go to the party because I was in a family dinner, and I couldn’t see it. Few days later I talked to him and I ask him if he was in love with Marina. He admitted that he was in love with Marina, this situation is very strange because she’s my best friend and now I’m very upset. I hope that Marina doesn’t fall in love with Jack, because I know that Marina thinks that Jack is very handsome.

I’ve been thinking about that, and I don’t know if I should split up with Jack or if I should fight for him. What do you think about it?

PROTECT THE NATURAL AREAS

Recently, many natural areas have become protected. These areas are usually parks, lakes, volcanoes... The Banyoles lake has been protected for a few years. However there are arguments both for and against it. 

One of the arguments for protecting natural areas is that people can't abuse of the lake. In addition, the lake will be nice for many years. And you can do more activities with nature or related to the lake, activities that we couldn't do without protection. 

On the other hand, there are a lot activities such as that can't be done, witch you could do before it was protected. 

All in all, I'm in favour of protected natural areas. I believe that all natural areas should be protected to be preserved for many years.

INTERVIEW TO A GOTHIC GIRL

CARTA AL MINISTRO DE EDUCACIÓN

C/ Avenida Máximo Gómez, No.02

11808, Bayaguana, República Dominicana

                                                                                 

                                                          

Querido ministro de Educación:

Mi nombre es Natàlia Comajuan Rodriguez, con nacionalidad Española. Hace un par de semanas que yo y mi ONG nos hallamos en la República Dominicana. La razón por la que hemos venido es muy clara, yo y la ONG a la cual pertenezco llevamos mucho tiempo recaudando material escolar que la gente española no usa para llevar-se-lo a los niños de este país. Hemos procurado colectar el máximo de material posible y la verdad es que no nos podemos quejar.                                                                                                                                                      Llegamos hace un par de semanas al pequeño pueblo de Bayaguana. Allí conocimos a todos los niños, nos explicaron sus historias y nos enseñaron toda la villa. Uno de los espacios que nos enseñaron fue el colegio, que es la razón por la cual me dirijo a usted. Los estudiantes de la escuela de Bayaguana tienen que aprender sentados en el suelo.

Así que escribo esta carta para pedirle si podría ayudar al colegio del pueblo y  poner algún mueble, aunque solo sean sillas y algún armario para colocar el material que hemos traído, eso ya sería de gran ayuda.  Espero que tenga en cuenta esta información y que proceda a ayudar a todos esos niños.

Os saluda atentamente,

Natàlia Comajuan Rodriguez

Directora de Escuelas Del Mundo (EDM)
