Málaga is much more than nice beaches. Who want to enjoy a holiday destination where you can go to the beach but also the mountains, have a warm temperature the whole year and do all types of activities and sightseeing? If that you, your next destination is Málaga. On the one hand, apart from getting a sunbathe I advise renting a car and driving through the coast's villages. Starting from Nerja, where you can visit the popular "Nerja's Caves", "Balcony of Europe" or appreciate the architecture of the streets. Finishing in Ronda, a muslim village with an amazing style and bridges from that period. Would you like some adventure? You will find it doing "El caminito del rey" a prehistoric path up to a hundred and five meters over the river. Going out at the night? The city center, Fuengirola or Marbella will offer you a wide range of restaurants, pubs and discos. On the contrary, do you prefer something cultural? Then, visit Picasso's House and Museum. Finally, not to mention the quality of the food, wine and the cheerful character of the south's people. You will have the best time of your live.

Life is harder for young people now than in the past. Do you agree? It is commonly said that we used to live better in the past than now. Some people think we are dominated by the capitalism but, despite the system maybe is not perfect, we have loads of advantages. Currently, everyone has access to education. There are free school for those withour resources. Besides, children must go to school by law until they come of age to be allowed to work. This didn't happend in the past, when there were kids working at the age of eight. Another point to consider are the work conditions. Nowadays, workers have a mínimum of thirty days each year for holidaying, one or two days per week off and a pension plan among others. Not to mention, the ones who enjoy perks. If you compare those facts, a long time ago employees didn't have even a contract with dealing clauses. In my opinion we have had an improvement in these fields that all of us apreciate. We definitely have a better live now than our ancestrors.

Children or system’s robots? I am currently working as an au pair and I take care of 3 children. Ages 11, 10 and 8. After a while living with them, I am always wondering if it is right go to school from 8.30 to 5.30! I’m from Spain and I can tell you that we don’t have the best education system, but I think that the British one is even worse. I used to go to school from 8 or 9, (I can’t remember well )until 2 and then once in the high school I went from 8.30 to 3.30. That allow everyone to have a proper lunch at home and the most important, to have it in a family environment. I spent the evenings playing, with my cousins, mother and aunts, or dancing three days per week because I really love it since I was a child. Now when I look at them and I see how they arrive home and some days they need to carry on doing some homeworks, after that have dinner and go to bed, that's unbelievable . They seem to me like robots instead of childrens. They don’t socialize, don’t have time during the week to play, to enjoy, to spare time with friends or cousin. If I compare myself with them when I was the same age I feel like an idiot, I didn’t know how to play the guitar, the piano, I didn’t joined any rugby, running, football, tennis club… After all, they are not crazy about all of that and there are activities which are a nightmare for them, but just need to do it. No options. I think it's a shame the way they spend the most beautiful time in your live, the childhood. In my opinion, they don’t really need all this. However, they need other subject like moral standars, family time, the importance of a healthy diet, communication and to be able to express themselves. These are some of the basic things to be a sensible adult.

It is better to go shopping in small local businesses or large out-of-town shopping centres? In the last years, the consumtion’s habits has changed and that it has got reflections on local owner’s shop and bigger areas. Smaller shops are closing down while the biggest ones are growing every day. This has some positive and negative aspects. Buying in big shopping centres or companies is cheaper than buying in smaller ones in your neighbourhood. However, when you buy to the little ones, you are helping the local economy and you are straight away doing a favour in the economy of the family’s owner and employees. On the other hand, in smaller businesses customer service is usually more accurate than in larger ones. If you need to ask about something, the assistant of your local area use to have some knowledge about the product and is always up to assist you to find the right one. That barely happen at huge shopping centres, where sometimes it’s even difficult to find an employee around. In my opinion, we should buy more in local areas in order to help each other and collaborate with the rising economy instead of making benefits just to the biggest companies.

What does it mean? Don't roll your eyes at me Thanks

My last summer job I still remember my summer job in the last four years. Waitress in a touristic area is the worst job ever. Nevertheless, all is an experience in live. Every single day, I started to work at 12 in the morning. First I laid the tables for lunch: cutlery, glasses, napkins… One hour later, people started to arrive and since then until four were the busiest hours. Running plates, taking commands, etc . After this, I could have a rest at home until eight, when I had to be back at the restaurant. I used to finish around twuelve in the night and I just had one day off per week. It was by far the most challenging job I have had. Even though, I learnt and developed some skills that are currently useful for me despite I have a different job, such as organization, coordination with the rest of the team, ability to memorize, etc In conclusion, If you are a student I advice you to do any kind of summer job. It doesn’t matter whether your job is the one of your dreams or not, there is always something worth that you will realize in the future.

If or wether? When do you use if or whether and what's the difference? Could you give me some examples? Thanks

It is better to be famous or unknown? So many ordinary people would like to be famous, but we also need to think about the advantages and disadvantages that this situation involve. It is well concerned that when you are famous you usually have more money and your life style change completely in a really short time. However, there are people who did not know how to manage with that and ruined themselves. It use to be necessary to hire a reliable bookkeeper in order not to have any problems in the future. It is obvious that normal people don’t deal with this kind of dilemma. Another point to think about are friends. When you are not popular yours friends might be the same since the school time and later you make new one at work or going out. Positively, you are more confident about the relationship you have with them, there is not any kind of interest in your person. If you were famous, you will hardly ever know if your friends are real or not. To sum up, it is less complicated to be unknown than famous, as the biggest problem is about confidence. You don’t have to think about who is the appropriate person to control your money and also your friends would be probably authentic.

It is better to work at home than in an office? Nowadays, technology allows us to have some benefits when we are working. One of them is the option of work from home or from an office. However, that’s not always positive at all. On the one hand, working in an office let you have contact with other people such as customers and collegues, which makes you socialize more and be more tolerant and open-minded. Just the opposite if you work from home, maybe you are less disturbed on your own but you are also loosing some of the most important skills regarding social live. On the other hand, other important aspect is the amount of hours that you work. When you work in your office, you usually now what time you start and at which one you will finish, but hardly ever that happen at home. That makes you work more hours and be less productive and furthermore make you feel exhausted. In summary, it is completely negative work from home instead of do it from the office. Working out of home, you have a better organization on your day life and you are constantly developing social abilities.
