The fault in our stars

    My favorite book's name is The fault in our stars. 
It is about a girl named Hazel who has a serious illness, cancer. She has suffered it since she was a kid. 
One day, her parents decided to take her to a support course in the church, where the sick people go to support each others.
She did not want to go until she saw there a very handsome guy.
They started to speak until they became a couple. The boy, called Augustus, had only one leg because of an old cancer. 
They got on very well and spent all their time together, even travelling. 
But, one day, Augustus found out he had cancer again in all his body and he was going to die. He told Hazel and this was so sad. 
    This is a very nice and sad story. Althought it is very sad, the story is told in such a way that you only want to keep reading and you fall in love with the characters, I really recommend it. 

Problem-solution paragraph (Overcrowded classrooms)

    Overcrowded classrooms are a serious problem in the current colleges and universities because they make students' marks get worse.
When students are in a very crowded classrooms they do not listen what teacher says fully, so they tend to think about other things or do what they feel like doing. They also speak more often with their classmates since there are a lot of people, and the ones that sit in the end find it easier to do it since the teacher cannot see them.
    The main solution to this problrm is to reduce the amount of students in a classroom, which is in the teachers' hands. But how can teachers do this?
They shoud divide the cass into two classes in such a way that each half goes with a different teacher. If they divide the students, the classrooms won't be as crowded so the students will be able to listen the teacher easier and improve their results.

Conclusion paragraph (The three Africas)


    The idea that we have of Africa is not real since there are three different types of environment instead of just one jungle. As we have seen, it can be divided into a northern deserted area, a southeastern region which makes a good habitat for animals and some crops, and the popular region of jungle in the west. So in conclusion, we should not base our knowledge of Africa on what we have watched on television.

Shopping reflection

 
    Last year I didn't use to go to the shops very often because of my lack of time. However, nowadays I have the time for my hobbies when I finish my lessons. I thought this was going to be awesome since going shopping it's one of the things I like the most, but it was not that good.
   Yesterday, I went shopping and bought some new clothes. What's more, I had also been the previous day. When I came home, I was not so glad so I stopped to think.
Then I realized how addicted shopping can be. When I didn't use to buy so many clothes, I was always very happy when I got them. However, since I finished the college I have been buying lots of clothes in  such a way that instead of loving my new ones, I keep thinking about gettin more and more.
This made me prove the more I buy, the more I want.
Then, I realized I had to change my mind. I had to do it less and appreciate what I have as that's a huge luck, so I did.
I started to save the money I spent on my clothes and go less, being this the best thing I could have done.

Nightmare


     Yesterday at night I had a horrible nightmare about a friend's death.
It was Saturday night and my friends and I went to a party, which consisted of biding our time in the street drinking and speaking.
In this way, we were talking and laughing when suddenly a friend of mine suffered an attack and falled down. He also started bleeding and his blood spread out on the floor.
My friends and I were so shocked that we did not know what to do, and I called an ambulance. But it was so late that my friend had already died when it arrived.
I felt really bad, I could not believe what I was living and started crying hardly, when fortunately I woke up and realized that nothing had happened. I felt very relieved and happy.

Sad scene

    
    Two days ago I was walking around the street in the city centre when I saw a really bad scene. There was a homeless women asking people for money and seemed to be drunk.
She came across an old man who was sitted in a bench and asked him for some money, but the man refused. Suddenly, she started hitting him with his crutch.
Everybody went help him and stop the women, who was also shouting at him and insulting him.
The poor ancient was scared and a bit hurt, whereas the women was still so furious.
People in the street called the police and I continued my route.
This made me feel a bit depressed since I realized how alcohol can ruin your life and at the same time I felt sorry for the ancient.
It was a bad scene to see but it also made me realized that we all have to be careful with the people we don't know when we are in the street and if I see this women again, I will runaway.

Week-end in Barcelona


     Last Thursday my parents and I decided to go to visit Barcelona in order to have a special weekend together. 
We took a bus and arrived there at 2 in the morning. Then we went to sleep in the hotel.
We woke up and went shopping. We ate in a Chinese restaurant and continued our route in the city centre. Barcelona looked amazing and it was crowded!
Later we visited some monuments such as 'La sagrada familia', 'Park Güell', 'Casa de Gaudí'... We loved them and we were surpised at their beauty.
At night we felt so tired that we only felt like staying in our hotel chilling out.
The next day we continued visiting the city and went to see a football match as it was my father's wish, he was very excited.
Eventually, we went to a theme park on Sunday. It was quiet funny but my parents did not try so many rides so I had to try them on my own.
To sum up, it was a very good and unforgettable weekend with the two people I love the most.

Many women are being mistreated by her husbands, making them vulnerable. Sadly each time we switch on the TV we see another crime about that field. We all should be aware of this hectic trouble in order to erradicate it at all with less murderes, crimes and less broken families.

Zoo day

         
    Last Saturday I went to the zoo with my family and we really liked it.
We arrived there at 3 in the afternoon and we went to see all the zoo animals. There was a huge breed animal, such as penguins, leopards, tigers, lyons, snakes...
We saw them all and took lots of pictures. The snow leopard was the animal that I liked the most, it was amazing and beautiful to see.
However, everything got worse when my little cousin started to cry due to the fact that he was afraid of the big lyons. We all tried to calm him and fortunately it worked.
Then, we continued our route and went to see the polar bears, they were the cutest ever.
After this we felt so tired that we decided to go home. We had a day to remember!

Comparative/contrast paragraphs

       Doing sport at home is often very different from doing it in a sport centre. When you do sport, you need enough motivation to do it confortable and in the right place.
       When you do sport in a sport centre, you are with some other people who do the same as you so they encourage you doing it. They encourage you not stopping moving, which is so important. What's more, you are speaking with people and making friends at the same time you're training. 
       However, when you do it at home it is usually very different. This way you are not encouraged by anybody since you are alone. In addition, it may be boring by the same reason,.
        Although at home or in a sport centre sport is really good and necessary for our health, doing it with other people and in other places is usually much better and funnier. 
Even so, many people still prefer to do it at home because of its cheaper price.

Opinion paragraph: Bull fighting shouldn't be allowed.

   

     I am totally disagree with bull fighting. 
 Because this is a very typical tradition in Spain, it is currently allowed in our country,  although a big amount of people are against that.
 Bull fighting shouldn't be allowed due to the fact that bulls are animals and they can also  feel pain. Besides this, they are mistreated with these fights and then, killed.
 People who want bull fighting to continue should stop to think how a bull can suffer and  stop supporting it.
 In conclusion, bull fighting shouldn't be allowed since bulls do not deserve that and most of  the people are against.

Film day

  

     This friday night hasn't been for party. I came from the University so tired that I only felt like staying at home, so I decided to watch a film. It was called ''17 again''.
It was about a 45 years old man who returned into 17 a day of storm. It was for him a normal day when suddenly, when he arrived home and saw his-self in the mirror, received a very big surprise: he looked like being 17. He could not believe what he had just seen and thought he had lost it. 
When he saw his family he told them he was a cousin of the family that lived far away, so they believed him. 
The problem came when his wife felt in love with him. Because he really looked alike the guy she had fallen in love with when she was a teenager, she started falling in love with him again so she kissed him. It was a very strange situation that finished a few days later. The 45 years old man returned and the 17 one dissappeared, so everything returned to normalcy. 
It was a really different and weird story, but I enjoyed it. Despite being strange, it made me laugh as-well.

Such a good day

    
   Yesterday it was for me a very good day. It was Saturday and I woke up thinking I was going to do nothing as my friends did not feel like going out. 
I had my breakfast and started cleaning when suddenly a friend of mine called me. She asked me to go with her to a big shopping centre in the beach, so I did. 
I was so glad I was going to spend the day with her since I haven't seen her for ages.
We arrived there and went to all the clothes shops in the shopping centre, and bought a lot of clothes and shoes. We also went to an ice-cream shop to have one and I came across an old friend. He sitted up with us and we all talked about our news. 
We decided to go to the cinema at night and at the end of the day I arrived home.
This was a very good day doing things I really like doing with people I like being with. 

Descriptive paragraphs

   
   In this picture we can see the Giant Causeway located in Northern Ireland. This is an important landscape in the UK that was created 60 million years ago when a field of lava cooled and formed hexagonal blocks of basalt. It's formed by some rocks and the water sea.
It is a peaceful and very beautiful place to visit and contemplate as it is not crowded and it is a natural landscape. 
Therefore, it is a cold and  cool place that can make people feel nostalgic. 
In conclusion, Giant Causeway is a nice landscape in the UK that everyone should visit because of its beautiful views and long story.

Presentation



Hi, my name is Jennifer and I am 17 years old. I live in a small village in Murcia called Torreagüera. Before this town, I used to live in a country next to the beach.
I am usually busy, but when I have got nothing to do I like listening to music, hanging out with friends or watching some films. I live with my parents and my little dog named Kitty. I've got a sister but she has lived with her boyfriend for 7 months.
I have just started the university, english studies. I decided to study this degree as I love learning a new language and improving it everyday. I would like to learn english perfectly and I hope so. I also love the United Kingdom and the United States, so it is good for me to learn to speak English so that I will be able to communicate with the new people there.

Are new technologies positive?

   In my opinion, new technologies are positive. This can be associated to the fact that they are useful for a lot of activies such as studying, searching information, even entertaining people. However, new technologies have also negative points due to the fact that they make people use the computer all the time and forget about the rest, for example when a person need to know something, he prefers using the Internet instead of a book since this's faster. In fact, there are many people who stopped reading books when they discovered how fast and useful using the net can be.
