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.

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.
