ESSAY 5-12 First of all it is important to point out that Internet plays a big role in our society. It is known as well that Internet has an effect on young generations, positive or negative, depends on the situation and the person. Referring to the benefits, I would like to say that there is plenty of information that is accessible for everybody. Furthermore, Internet allows a perfect communication among people. It gives you the opportunity to speak with a friend or even your own family who are in another country. Unfortunately, all that glitters is not gold, and there many drawbacks if you use Internet such as the deep danger around it. This aspect affects more on young people. There are a lot of “dangerous web pages” and young people can access to them. Parents should educate their children in that field because the risk is too high for them. Other disadvantages of Internet are privacy problems. Internet is a virtual place where all your personal information is being checking by anonymous people. To sum up, everything depend on how you use Internet in your daily life.

ESSAY Write a short essay about on wheter or not sport should be a compulsory school subject. Give your opinion with reasons and arguments First of all, it is important to emphasize that nowadays school subjects have an influence on students. Everything depends on how students feel about each subject. In this essay I would like to explain how sport has a positive effect on children and why may be a compulsory school subject. Some people tend to think that, students do not need to do sport at school on account of they have the opportunity to do it in their daily life. In my case, as I consider, sport at school has several benefits. Firstly, sport is such as “break” in their daily routine. Secondly, children can improve their social skills because of sport have many positive aspects such as solidarity, work as a team, etc. Furthermore, with an increase of the social skills, should be a decrease at bullying due to when a little child plays with others is an enjoyable time for them. Therefore there is not any time to think about bullying. To sum up, I strongly believe that sport should be a compulsory school subject because there are more benefits than drawbacks and this subject is one of the most significant subjects for children nowadays. A subject which everyone loves.

Report: You would like to persuade more people to move to a village LIVING IN A VILLAGE This report will present some benefits of living in a village in order to persuade people come to the village. Nature: In a village you will have a big opportunities to enjoy the nature around the village. Some villages are very calm and outside the village not far as a few kilometres you will be able to go for a walk at the countryside. Benefits for your health: You will never suffer stress and depression due to the traffic, and furthermore your cardiovascular system will improve because of the lack of smoke in the village. For instance in some cities in China, people need to wear a mask because of the profound amount of air pollution. A calm job: Working as a farmer can decrease your level of stress because you are not under the shadow of your boss, you can be your own boss and this would affect in a positive way in your happiness at work. Recommendations: I would strongly recommend that you leave the city and move to a village because from my point of view it is better than living in a city.

Article LONG DISTANCE FOOD Currently, a lot of food is imported and exported from each country in order to satisfy the consumers. If you want to eat strawberries when the season is finished, you have the opportunity to buy it as a result of long distance food. However, can you imagine how this type of food influences in a bad way on the global climate? Well, let me explain that. Food that is imported needs to be carry on a truck or on a plane and this aspect contributes to increase the global warming due to the huge amount of smoke that a truck or a plane generates. The question is… why some people tend to buy local food instead imported food? They say that local food tastes better and is cheaper because they can produce it by themselves in their own garden and another aspect is positive for the environment. Most people from the UK do that, especially old people around fifty or sixty years old. What’s your position? Long distance food or local food, the proof is in the pudding!

A report 6-11-2016 E-LEARNING: It is known that currently, online language courses is one of the biggest improvements in the education field. In the past, language courses were taught only in a physical place but now the situation has changed completely. ADVANTAGES: On the one hand , talking about the advantages of this kind of education, I would like to say that you do not need to use any transport, which sometimes is very complicated if you can not take the bus. Furthermore, online education is cheaper than traditional education because a teacher can create an online course and this course might be offered whenever the teacher wants. In addition online education is more flexible than the other kind of education. DISADVANTAGES: On the other hand, referring to the drawbacks, there are some of them, for instance if your internet crash... how can you attend the lesson? Or if a virus infect your computer, you have to find another , and if in your home there is no one more, there is not anything that you can do. So, all that glitters is not gold. CONCLUSION: To sum up, let me give you an advice, try to combine traditional methods with online methods and all would be perfect in your education.

Future of our planet ESSAY: First of all it is important to emphasize that nowadays, pollution is one of the greatest calamities. It is known that we need to change that in order to help the planet or the future generations will not have any future and their future will be unpredictable and uncertain. We should start to change the currently laws, but we are not able to do it, only the government of each country can do it. However, this aspect for the government seems to be a bit unimportant. Governments in general are not concerned about that critical point, and they still tend to think that global climate is an illusion. We, the humans, as a citizens of this world, we have to take action on that. For instance, recycling is one of the most useful acts that we can do regarding to help the planet. Another action might be, use bike to go to the job or to the daily activities. To sum up, from my point of view, we will reduce the greenhouse effect providing that we make an arragement in that field, but is it too difficult? the humanity will be always selfish? Maybe... a leopard can not change its spots.

Las correcciones...

Hace poco estoy en Italki y veo que la gente puede corregir redacciones y cuestiones que escriben los usuarios para recibir el "feedback" correspondiente. Sin embargo, muchas de esas correcciones están mal y los usuarios confían en ello y lógicamente no van a mejorar así su nivel por muchas redacciones que se escriban porque seguirán cometiendo errores que ni conocen ni van a conocer si no tienen conocimiento de ello. Creo que las correcciones deberían revisarse bien y no intentar ser el primero en corregir la forma de escribir de cualquier usuario simplemente por querer ser el primero. Por último es importante ver las diferencias entre España y Latino-América ya que, aunque tienen muchas similitudes, tambien hay diferencias.

Un saludo.

Cycling First of all it is important to point out that cycling it is one of the hardest sport in the world. It is know that if you want to practise cycling you should train a lot, about three times per week or above. In addition it is not a cheaper sport because for instance a bike cost around 1,500€ so and so. But... not only the bike, you should wear a helmet, gloves, an appropiate clothes and cycling trainers. However providing that you practise cycling, be sure you will have the chance of enjoying beautiful views, specially in mountain bike. Appart from this, you should be very carefully with cycling, in road and mountain bike, both of them. To sum up, from my point of view, I would say that cycling it would be the perfecty way to keep fit and one of the best manner to enjoy the nature and to be free.
