I usually listen to the radio in the mornings when I go to the work. I like the news and to know what happen in the world. However I think that people listening radio less tan before because of new technology. Now you can listen what you prefer for 24 hours and to choose between several channels, surfing the internet ....There are many posibilities to watch or to listen at moment what you want it. Before there was few channels and people had to conformed with what was scheduled that day on television or radio.
Today the programs are many difficulties to keep attention to the audience, especially the current affairs programmes and news 24 hours in direct. In my opinion the television doesn´t offer necessary quality. Personally, I don´t like reality shows, soop operas, talents contest...There are some good programmes and hit series but not many.
On the other hand, I think that people are constantly exposed bad news and it can have harmful effects in them. Researchers have demostrated people can feel sadly and depresed when they are exposed long time to negative news. That´s why people tend to focus on their personal problems frequently.
Mass media should thinks how they broadcast news and the effects that cause in people. However, the emotionals stories increase the audience because people tend to empathize and unfortunately the audience is more and more important for mainstream media and for to survive in this world

Help about infinitive verbs and indefinite pronouns
Hello everybody, I have two questions. On the one hand, I learned to use " TO" before verbs in the infinitive, but I see that sometimes this rule is not always applied and I don´t understand when I have applied this exception and I don´t mean verbs that are followed by a modal verb, I know that
Moreover, I learned to use any, anywhere, anybody, anythings...with negative and interrogative sentences...but there are many sentences that I confuse me...for example: " I think this should be the grassroots politics of any political party" This sentence is affirmative however it use any...WHY????
If someone can reply me in spanish ,I would appreciate. Thank you.

In general I have never had interest for the politic. However I try to comply with my duties as citizen. I also consider myself neither left-wing nor right-wing, my decision is based on what gives me the differents political parties. Is important to me that the politic party is committed to the population and to comply what they promised before coming to power. The politic party should be fair and to guarantee the equal oportunities for all citizens. In my opinion, the elected government should have a cleaner and more transparent policy, especially in these moments that exist many corruption scandals and people is so fed up. This issue creates to the political instability affecting the political work and the actions that are carried out. So that the citizens should inist on more control and complain us when things are not doing well.
I personally, think that in my country the goverment could make a policy better and protect the most vulnerable as old people and needy people. Therefore the solution is not cut down on pensions and cut social resources, on the contrary, the government should encourage social policies to help people to improve quality of life. I think this should be the grassroots politics of any politic party.

I think that the technology world have changed the life and the human behaviour. Internet allow to connect with anywhere part of the world and with anyone no matter how away you are, it changing also the way of communicate.
Everyone who has a computer can to access to internet and visiting any website and register in website such as Facebook, twitter...I personally use internet especially for learn, looking for website that may be interesting for me, and to socialise with people through emails, social network, forums and blogs and also to check emails. I think that is a good place to share things, advertise, protest and generally make or maintain contact with others persons.
Internet also allows download files and movies however you should have care if you don´t Know the website because you can get a virus in your computer. Besides if you are in a public place, such as an airport, coffee...you may be able to connect to a wi-fi and browse without to pay for this service.
On the other hand, Internet is revolutionizing the world of business, creating new ways to make customers, buy and sell. However it is affecting lots of small business that have closed because of online shopping, for example.
Other aspect to consider is that internet can be a danger for children if their parents don´t control to access to web pages they do. So that, I think that parents have to tell their children not to visit certain pages and block them if necessary and help them to be responsible.

Today, skills and qualifications are important if you want to fin a good job. Some of theses requeriments are speaking english well, having a university degree, knowing a lot of computers applications and being to prepared to move geographically. Currently, a lot of jobs are being outsourced because the company get more benefits, as consequence, many people have been laid off , losing your jobs and not knowing how they are going to earn a living in the future. When you are younger and you are preparated, to fin a job can be easier than if you are a old person, especially if you are married and have children. There are some recruitment agency to help you to find a job and how you have apply for it.
The job market is every time more competitive and have less perks. I think that the salary is a very aspect important of the job but it is not the most important. Personally, I prefer a flexitime and finish work at the same time every day. On the other hand, I think that is important have a good boss to be able to create an atmosphere where everyone feel comfortable and he encourage to employees so they give the betterr of themselves. There are some boss that work long hours for the good of company and they expect everyone show the same commitment. They never delegate and want to people to work under pressure all time.

My boyfriend and I travelled to Thailand the last year. We spent a stunning month and we had the opportunity to meet many place and many people. We stayed in a cabin in the middle on the beach. During this travel, we discovered a interesting culture with a rich gastronomy. People are very friendly and constantly they offered us help when we needed it.
I would love to back again someday because we really enjoyed these places. However, there are place that we want discover, for example Filipinas or India. I know some friends have travelled there and they have told me amazing something.
I think traveling is one of the greatest pleasures of life.

I´m concerned about reciycling. I think that everyone should be more concerned for the environment and to care more the planet. We can colaborate in this issue making an effort. If people at home recycle, the situation could be more easy and we could prevent many problems, for example the cut down the trees, a things that can have a easy solution if we reduce the almount of paper we use every day. For this reason, I believe that the environment education is so important and it should be a importan part of school life. Children should learn to care and to maintain the nature beginnig of their classroom and school.
Unfortunately, some people thinks that they pay to the goverment for this service and therefore they must be responsable to pick up and recycle the rubbish. However everyone constantly generate rubbish and the goverment can´t be behind each and neither the solution can be to put fines those not recycled. The biggest problema is there aren´t sensitization and conscience enough
