Yes, I definitely do. In fact, I've been recycling for many years and prompt other at home to do so. In my country we separate in four or five groups: one is glass, another is paper and cardboard, then plastic, metal and tetrabick packages, another group is organic waste, and finally those materials or objects that are neither organic nor can be recycled (such as toys or small electronic devices). The problem is that sometimes one can't be sure if everything going to the recycling tanks is really going to be used at the recycling plants. My guess is that an important proportion of it won't, and I feel sort of teased. Why don't they explain to the general population how the process is done and what is discarded as useless? Perhaps because the planification isn't that serious or consistent. However, I still think that the small effort is by far worthwhile.

The sad truth is that many young tourists come to some areas on the Spanish coast and archipelagoes to have fun by getting drunk, making lot of noise in the street, littering the pavement, etc. Of course, that's unacceptable behaviour and more action should be taken to prevent such irresponsable attitudes that really disturb locals and even perhaps other tourists.
On the other hand, there are cultural aspects like manners at a table that also need to be taken into account. Making noise while chewing or drinking can be disgusting to most of us, and definitely burping is not a sign of appreciation of the food or the host when invited to somebody's home for a meal, unlike in Arab cultures, I understand, they do.

What is your favourite film and why?
"The Truman show" is probably my favourite film, one of those rare ones that I can enjoy seeing more than once.
What do I like about it? I'd say about everything, from the original, thought-provoking plot, the expressive, warm main starring actor, the stunning soundtrack, the bright, colourful picture and settings, the humour, the message...
This film made a rare achievement: the acclaim of both public and critic. In a way it's a very simple story -perhaps deliverately, in a naif note- but it's enough to make us think about this world of false appearances while enjoying a real show!

I used to think that electric vehicles were the solution to some environmental problems but we must look at this more in-deeply. They have obvios advantages like not (direct) CO2 emissions or polution, but the truth is that they use electricity that may be produced by fossil fuels or nuclear power. Batteries are also an issue as their manufacturing generates polution and degradates the environment as well.
All in all, electric vehicles are much worthier than fuel-powered ones, but the perfect solution would be vehicles that use 100 per cent renewable energy and whose making and disposal have less impact on the environment.

As for learning goals, Improving my fluency by keeping on practicing with native speakers as well as reading. The good part is that I do this not only as a duty but enjoying myself too.
Regarding my professional career, I'd love to get one of the jobs I've applied for to teach English to adults for professional purposes.
