Cell phones in teenagers

Teenagers have a propensy to have an adiction to mobile phones for many reasons. The main reason is the social media, they are always connected to the Internet, therefore creating an adiction sometimes. Currently, teenagers usually have a mobile phone around 9 or 10 years, getting used to handle phones easily. This also increase cyberbulliyng, which is a real and a serious problem nowadays. In fact, bullying has been raising its percentage since 2011, coinciding with the beginning of smartphone and social media era. Finally, teenagers usually have an adiction to mobiles phone thanks to social media, which increase bullying, likewise school enviroment is becoming quite tense. We have other reasons, like mobile games, which are in their peak. In addition, introvert teenagers have more posibilities to have an adiction to mobile phones, the reason is that they are more comfortable texting in a mobile than talking face-to-face, though there are some mental health hospitals that are star...

1.11 My opinion about creativity and schools

Creativity and Education are two thinks that need to be together, you can have knowledge, but if you don't have the creativity to show it with a new perspective or new way you can't stand out, thus not being better than a person who does it. In my humble opinion, school are doing a great job (depending on the school) with childs, the problem is that they don't give creativity that much importance, aligning their knowledge and perspective. For example, in Arts class, teachers usually say what they are gonna do instead of leaving the kid improvise and find his own style and creativity. The simple concept of having an own style or personality with knowledge can make child future and our own future better. Imagine in 2070 a young person with a educated creativity finding a solution to pollution, cancer, or mental disorders. Why do art eras happened? Because artists had their own creativity, creating work of art that brought new art eras like Michelangelo with renaissance. I...

1.10 Analysis of a TED talk

What is the topic of the TED talk? Main Idea? When does the speaker introduce the idea? How? The topic of the TED talk is the education, being the main idea the education restricting childs creativity. The speaker introduce the topic at the beginning saying that creativy is as important as education, therefore, being at the same level of importance What are the means of transport used by the speaker to convince us that his opinion is right? Provide examples. He use humour in order to convince the crowd with satire. He also gives personal experiences with a friend of him who is dancer and millionare thanks to her creativity, but for me the most important concept is the use of humour to persuade crowd. What is the speaker conclusion? How does he conclude? He makes a brief summary, restating his opinion. 

1.9 Opinion paragraph: internet for refugees

Internet is a part of our lifes nowadays, and can be useful for refugees, but also it can be such a problem. On one hand, with internet they can comunicate with their family, being more peaceful, and for an instance not thinking about them. There are other uses that refugees can give to internet, like looking for a job in order to have a wage and stability. Due to their minimum knowledge about the language of the country they are staying on, they could have a translator to communicate with people. On the other hand, we have little problems that can affect refugees situation, like knowing their private information or only spending time on the Internet instead doing anything worth like working or being in contact with other refugees. (I couldn't think about more problems, but this is my whole opinion because I don't know that mcuh about the topic

1.8 Descriptive Paragraph: How to stop procastinating

Procastinating, is a problem that a big amount of people have. It consists in postponing your homeworks, works, etc; to other moment, because you may think that is fast and you can do it in other moment. The fact is that days passes and on the last day you have to do it all, not doing it because there are much work to do, due to procastinating. Regardless, there were procastinating people that could surpass it, having a better organization. In addition, some people say that this could be a mental issue or a phychological disorder. The answer to this conmcepts people say about procastinating is all lies, I've been a procastinating person myself, the reason wasn't a mental issue, it was because I'm a very lazy person, and I always do it all at last moment. Finally, procastinating can be surpassed by the own person, but it could be hard, so you need to be focus in your objetives.

Using e-mail

E-mail is still being important nowadays, but not as important as it was before. The reason is very simple, with new generations new social medias arrive, as Instagram, Whatsapp or Twitter; allowing us to chat with someone without sending any mail, only a message in a chat and you don't have to wait. In fact, this new medias have a much better organization than older medias like Messenger or Tuenti. Finally, Instagram and Twitter are more charming, well-organizated and more effective. E-mail is having a good time too, It doesn't have the same quality level like actual medias, but It still having improvments, in order to make more comfortable to use this media. You can use it to send documents with a big amount of pages, proyects, etc. For this reasons, e-mail is being used currently. In conclusion, e-mail is not a top tier social "media", but it still being usefull for us

A big mistake you once made

People always are making mistake, regardless the good thing of making mistakes is to learn in order to don't make that mistake again. As a human being, I've made a big amount of mistakes, but I want to tell the biggest one in my opinion. All started in summer, 7 or 8 years ago. The fact is that I was in Mil Palmeras, a famous beach, and I was on the way of meeting an old friend that I hadn't seen that guy since elementary school, and well, he was autist(I think, I don't know it yet). And well, It didn't go that well, and It was all my fault. The problem is that I had some trouble with a friend and I was worried more in this fact than in talking with my partner. All finished with him and me not talking, and I always think what would happened If I hadn't have this problem, I may be would had have a better talk. In conclusion, I've made tons of mistakes, but the good fact is that I learnt of it

The working student

When you are a student, you must focus in studies and thats all, but there are some cases where we see young people working while studing, there are some reasons of why they are doing it. We often see college students working and the same time, organizing their schedules in order to have more productivity, they also have to rest and spend some free time, because If they don't have at least one or two hours of free time, because one of the most important thing is to rest after work, to recover energy and not become a bitter person. For example, if you had been working for 11 or 12 hours and you reach home and start studying, you won't make the most of you're abilities of study, because you will be tire out and only want to rest, thereofore you wouldn't be as ready as other students that study after resting a bit. Finally, whether you are a working student or a normal one, you can have the same marks, but if you are a working student you need to rest and have a more ...

An important story in the news

The concept of winning money playing videogames is a real fact nowadays, the problem is that older people and news often talk about videogames if it was bad to win money playing videogames, we often watch news and see many pro players of what is called "e-sports". 2 days ago, the famous spanish channel called Telecinco trash talked about the concept of winning money sitting in a chair playing videogame while streaming for a big amount of people, the host of the show textually said "I don't know how this nerds win money for doing this foolishness, please work in something better", meanwhile he is fan of a football club called "Real Madrid", those players only play football and are millionare, and he didn't say nothing about them. Regadless, a famous ex spanish pro player and now owner of a famous club, called G2, was interviewed. He was not asked interesting questions, he was asked how he was feeling beign a millionare playing videogames, and ques...

American custom that you like/dislike

Customs in countries have been existing since the beginning of human beings, they have their own history, and changes. Focusing on American customs there are customs that I like and I dislike or even hate. Starting with costumes that I like, in America you have to remove your shoes when you are in a house, and for me is perfect, because I'm always without shoes and sometimes without socks too, because I feel more free(may be my imagination, but I swear, I feel better without shoes). Next, we have gastronomy, one thing that I like because you can find a big variety of restaurants, you can be walking normally and see a fast-food restaurant in a street, and maybe when you cross the street you can find a norweigan restaurant, furthermore you can also find a food van that cook chinese food. In addition, we have so many social events that I want to visit as the Comicon, E3 or the San Francisco Pride, or Black Friday. Regardless of all the good costumes that I said, I think I di...

The people you live with

First of all, I have to say that right now I'm living with my family, because I don't have to move out, because college is 40min in bus from my town. Currently I'm living with my dad, mum and my younger brother. My dad is a funny person, he is 49 years old, but looks younger than every other of my friend's dads. My dad works in a vegetable's factory for 10 years or 9(I don't remmember it well). He loves series and films, being he's favorite TV serie Breaking Bad. In addition, he's so kind and sociable, furthermore, he's a family guy. Finally, I think that I had luck with my dad(and also my whole family) being perfect(I mean sometimes he can be fool and can get angry and ground me for maybe mot bushing my teeths in two days in a row) My mum is like my father, she is 45, also she has less patience but I love her anyways. She works in Orenes, a famous bet company, in the paperworks division. She loves soap operas, spending time with her family and...

Being on time

Punctuality is one of the most important concepts in some countries, because it represent your education, personality and respect. There are some countries where this is an important fact, because it represents you, thus you have to be 5 or 10 minutes before the time of metting. In fact, most of people will do the same, and you usually meet with these people 5 minutes before. Hence punctuality is important, but if you think it that much can be useless, because maybe someone is waiting 5min or more, and it can be boring. Finally, people in other countries give this too much significate and it is overrated. In my case, Spain doesn't give this concept that much importance, because spaniards are idle and we don't care about arriving 5, 10 or even 15 minutes late. For example, in a job interview you have to arrive 5 or 10 minutes before to show signs of a mature person. In arrangments with your friends you can arrive just in time, or even late, but in a such important appointme...

An accident

As introduction, an accident can be a funny concept or a serious fact. On one hand, I want to narrate a "funny accident" that ocurred me in my cousin's wedding. Firstly, I was 12 years old, and i was the kid who was carrying the rings. All began with the priest saying "now get the kid ready", thus I got ready, and began to carry those rings, and well, there were some stairs under the red carpet, and I didn't notice that. Regardless, I think that I would fall equally.  The case is this accident made all the church laugh, I was embarrassed but I consider this as a "funny" accident. Finally, I felt down in a wedding, but I made the whole church laugh, so it was a funny accident On the other hand, I want to narrate a "serious accident". As beginning, I have a disabled uncle who was in an accident when his friend was driving inebriated and well, you can imagine what happened next, his friend was unjuried, and my uncle had many blows in hi...

Your favorite sport to play or watch

By way of introduction, I enjoy practicing sports more than watching it   I touched base with my favorite sport 8 months ago, by playing with some friends in a sport centre in my own town, that sport is badminton. Yeah, I know that is a mainstream sport, but I really enjoy it, because it pushes you to go beyond your limits everytime you play it. This sport test your mind and physical condition and improve it at the same time. Whether you didn’t know this sport, it will be my honour to explain basic terms about this sport. You need a shuttlecock and a badminton racket, and that’s all. The reason why I’m really addicted to this sport is because you can’t foul an opponent, it put excitement in my body and brain, and even if you are narrowly beaten, you’d feel incredible with yourself, and it would push you to improve. For all these reasons, I’m a keen of badminton, and I want to archive at least a set versus someone whose is incredibly good, because I’m a very competitive player an...

Learning to play a sport

As introduction, I've always been a guy who didn't do that much quantity of sport, but at the same time, I love sports. There are many sports in the world to try out, but leaning how to play it could be hard, depending in the sport, thus whether you can spend some months learning to play easy sports. For example, football is an easy sport to learn, because it only requires teamwork and an specific ability, whereas sports like baseball needs more knowledge and more strategy, it can look easy, but it is not. Finally, you can learn an sport whereever you want, because there are many kind of sports that you can practice even in your own house. Volleyball is one of the sports that I've always wanted to try out, because, as badminton, this sport tests your decision making, mental strength, teamwork(as 2v2 on badminton) and physical apptitude. You have to make choices in few seconds, have complete confidence in your teammates and to be confident in yourself. But at the same ...
