This holidays.

This holidays I will be spending time with my family and at the same try to study hard because the exams are after the holidays. I have never studied in holiday before, but now I am at university and things are what they are like. I don´t know how I´ll do it. That´s why I will create a schedule so that I could be organized and study every day.
I will also give some free time to myself, becasue I think I deserve it. I didn´t stop working all the semester so it is always good to have free time for our friends and hobbies. Eventhoug Christmas holidays are going to be short, I have to take advantage of time I have and study as I said.
I know it is going to be hard but I really want to get good marks so that my family feel proud of me and I also want to feel proud and good with myself. I won´t be going anywhere for holidays. But,I don´t mind because I think holidays are for family and ourselves. 
In conclusion, for holidays I will spend time with my family and study. I want this holidays to be very long so that I could do everything.

Recycling.

When we use papers, plastic, glas, cartoon...we don´t realize that these products are made thanks to nature. We feel that these products are never going to end and we sometimes use them massively and the worset thing is that we don´t recycle sometimes. Recycling is very important and specially in this era, because now nature needs us to give it time to produce more, more than ever. So that we could life a comfortable life, we use everything that nature gives us. Neverthelles, we don´t give her time to grow.
Eventhough this is happening, we don´t have to forget that more and more people everyday recycle and care about the nature, That is why I think that the best way to guarantee a good future to the nature is recycle but most important,is to use just what we need. Because sometimes we overuse whithout thinking.
More and more houses as I said are being part of a big recycling project that is being very succesful. We also have to take responsability and take care of our big home, the Earth by taking some measures such as not throwing plastic in the sea or in the ground, not using a small part of the paper and then use another one...And so on. So, If we put these measures on action, we will have some very good results.
To conclude, nature gives us more than we give her. That is why we have to create a balance and not putting more weight over nature. Furthermore, we have to realize that we sometimes forget, that we are not the only beings that live on Earth. So we have to be careful of something that we share with another beings.

The purpose of education.

Education in our world is so important that thanks to it we become better persones and we could change the world. Whe are who whe are because we have been educated in a certain way. Education is an endless bridge that take us to the fact of analyzing, understanding and evaluating.

Through the histry, education has changed a lot. It was firstly learn to read and write and now it means to know how the world works. Eventough we are been educated, the education that we are having is not complet. In school we learn what they teach and we memorize just to pass our exams.

Nevertheless, we do not learn how to be creative and we do not even have enough time to explore what we are really interested in and we really love. This education method is very rudimentary and somehow we have to transform it into a more creative and effective education.

Much of the information we learn is very useful in real life. Nevertheless, the problem is how to introduce this information to real life. Because sometimes we see what we learn very far of real life. And this is a very big problem that must be solved.

In additio some countries give no importance to art like dancing, music, acting, painting...And this is a very sad fact. They consider this education unuseful and they think it will not take us anywhere. But the truth is that art is very important so that we could develop our habilities.

In conclusion, education is the pillar of our world but some countries do not know how to create a beter and more effective one. From my point of view, we should consider ourselves very lucky and for having an education, becasue in some places children do not know what education is.


TECHNOLOGY IN THE FUTURE.

Nowadays we all are using technology for everything, for work, for university homeworks and projects, to send mesages... I know that some people are addicted to it and the worst is that they are not doing nothing useful with it.They just lose the time of a whole wonderful day playing video games, chatting or watching movies or series. 

But from my point of view not all of us are doing that. Some people are sure using technology just when they have to or need it. That is why I think that being addicted depends on you and how you use it. Nevertheless, people are still meeting each other in restaurants, cafes, cinemas...and I hope things still be the same.

That is why I think that in the furture, technology and it´s influence will be the same but not in every aspect. I don´t believe that in the future people will live in virtual lifes or live like machines. And this depends on us If we want it to be like this or to get worse.

For this reason we should be conscious and not letting technology destroy our social life or our world. Furthermore, we have to consider it as an instrument that help us to do better our work, homework, projects... and not a life where we can hide.

Overall, me must teach the next generation how not to depend on technology for everythung and how to us it safely. They should learn from us good things  and we also should be a better example for them.

University.

When I was at high school I couldn'y imagine myself at university. Because for me it was a very different world. But now that I am studyin at university I realized that I was wrong. In fact university is bigger, different, it has  big number of students in class...but I like it. I met a lot of people and I have made some good friend that now are very close to me.  My classmates are very nice and funny and my teachers are also good and sweet with us. Furthermore, there is something that I specially like in my degree and it is that lessons are taught in English, in contrast as high school. One of my favourite subjects is contemporary culture, because I have always loved to know more and more about other countries,cultures, languages...So, this subject is perfect for me and specially these practices that we do. All in all I could say that university is not what I expected.
