Introduction and Conclusion.

Introduction:
By way of introduction, nowadays the number of people involved in drugs is increasing considerably. Both drug consumers and drug dealers live in the shade of the law. Many of them have never been charged or punished with it. This shows that the government current policy on drugs is ineffective.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, we need new laws and methods to deal with drug dealers and users, or this situation will continue increasing. This is easier said than done, whereas, as long as we do nothing, it would be easier for people to enter this miserable world of drugs, debts and endless dependance.

Fear of...

Fear of illness
Fear of lonelyness
Fear of death 
Fear of not achieving my expectations 
Fear of present passing too fast
Fear of changes to worse

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

Evictions are nowadays one of the most serious problems in our country. Many families are being thrown at the street like objects, while there are hundreds of unoccupied homes. The government order families to leave their houses just because they are not able to pay taxes when actually, the issue comes from the rise in taxes and new laws.Families are taken away from their homes, besides, they are suppose to pay unaffordable debts. This situation shows the little humanity and empathizing our "superiors" present.

One solution for this problem would be allowing the bank to put up for auction the house of those who can't pay it. In this way, the owner of the house can sell or hire it. As a result, the owner would be able to live in another apartment more affordable with the money received. This politic is followed by other european countries such as Germany. As long as the owners of the house can't sell it, the state will provide them a new place to live. This avoid people living under human conditions because we are humans, not objects. The situation in Spain compared with other countries in Europe shows us the selfish and shameless politicians that rule this country.

Opinion paragraph: something I like but most people don't like at all.

I like to camp in remote places without any technology or electronic object. To my mind, the best plan you can offer someone is to leave everything useless at home and run away from obligations. Nowadays, if you tell any boy or girl of my age to do that, they will propably refuse. I think that the only reason for this behaviour is the fact that young people depend on their mobile phones, computers, videogames etc. Most people can't be more than ten days in a camp without their electronic things. However, that's the main reason why I really like to do this. I like to be completely disconnect from reality and noise, form things related to unnecessary dependance. I like to stay away for a while and enjoy the moment and the important things like friendship, love or nature. From my point of view, the best way to achieve this is to go camping to any isolated place with your favourite people.

Try it.

It's not about learning to live with our demons.
 It's about conquering them. 
Or to try it.

Who really know us?

We are not a name, a height, a weight or a gender. We are not an age and we are not where we are from.
We are our favourite books and the songs stuck in our heads. We are our thoughts and what we eat for breakfast on saturday mornings.
We're a thousand things, but everyone chooses to see the million things we're not.
We're not where we come from, we are where we're going.

Essay. "Ohana"

The families, those people you share same blood with, people who will give their life for you, they are the main pilar of each person's life.  I admire all my family members and obviously my family's the best to me. We're a very close-knit family. In this entrance, I would focus on two memebers of my family.

 To begin, I will write about my godmother. I admire her so much. She is the kindest person in the world; she is loyal, noble, honest and a hard-working woman. She is my mother's little sister. They are really similar physically and they have many ideas, values and dislikes in common. I admire and love her because I've grown up by her side. We have travelled together every holiday, we meet every weekend and she has always taken care of me. I'm very proud of her and my cousins, godfather and she strike me as my second family.

Added to this, the person I most take after in character is my father. As I grow up, I take more after him. We have similar hobbies and our behaviour at some situations is the same. For this reason, we fight many times and the same things annoy us but in the end we always end laughing.
Both of us love music, the same kind surprisingly. He has taught me to enjoy good music, books and cinema. Travelling is one of the passions we share and we also enjoy playing with children. My father is shy in the beginning, but when he gains confidence, he is as crazy as me; He is fiercely loyal to his friends. He's my superhero and I hope that in a future my children will be as proud of me as I am of him.

To conclude I leave you a very cute quote of a cartoon serie << Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind>>

Essay. How green are we?

Pollution is a world-wide problem nowadays. Many people forget the importance of a clean and protected environment for animals, plants and our health. Pollution is one of the biggest issues in our society,however, most people does nothing to change their bad habits. To my mind, there should be many more meetings for young people to concern us about this deal. Many people don't know the harms that air pollution or deforestation among other ways of breaking down the environment can produce.

Added to this, to tackle pollution we must start taking short-term measures that will help to conserve nature. A good measure is avoid using private cars and use public transport as well as bikes. These are some good advice to prevent pollution products such as vehicles exhaust fumes. Another one is to stop throwing away litter onto the streets and specially when people camp at the mountains, beaches or at unspoilt place.

I always try to do all these things and in my case, the most important environmental action I'm engaged in is on recycling waste. At home, we have separate bins where we throw away the different materials Furthermore, we have always cut down on the use of water, we always take showers instead of bathing.

To conclude, we should stop wasting our natural resources. We must use them in the right way and prevent the unnecesary ways of polluting the environment. We have to take care of our planet, otherwise, who is going to do it?

Thesis statement of a controversial topic.

Cigarette smoking should be banned in public places because many people want to have healthy lungs and being passive smokers doesn't help.

My treasure.

I want to write about my friends, the gang. My friends are like my family, we've lived many moments together: unfogettable experiences, trips, parties, crazy and lazy days, lessons, concerts... Thanks to them I'm who I am at the moment, they are my shoulder to cry on. We have been through thick and thin, but always together. We are very different, but at the same time we share the most important thing: friendship. Nowadays, we are split up in different universities, cities and even countries and we just see us at weekends. I really miss to see them everyday, and I love them so much.






"I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour. I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you cause you're there for me too".

Compare or contrast: advantages and disadvantages.


I'm going to write about the advantages and disadvantages of living far from university as it is an everyday issue for me. Fist of all, I live in Cartagena, and it is 30 minutes from Murcia by car. In my opinion there are many disavantages but also advantages. Some disadvantages are that I have to take the bus everyday very early and it takes me almost 1 hour to get to university by bus. I can't take naps and I have to have lunch very early. On the other hand, I eat the wonderful meals of my mother so this advantage overcome the disadvantages.Another disadvantage is the fact that bus timetable's are horrible. If one day I don't have a lesson I have to wait a lot for the bus. However, an advantage is that I have my house clean and tidy while some friends of mine that live in a flat all the contrary because they let housechores for the last. To sum up, this year I'm staying in Cartagena but I would like to live the experience of living in a flat with my friends.

My favourite place.

I have a favourite place in the world, and that is my countryside little house .In these place I feel safe and free.
My countryside house is a little house without electricity or water located near a village of Cartagena. This house was built by my grandfather and there I've lived amazing moments. The terrain where the house is, consists in lots of almond-trees that in spring turn into beautiful trees which colour the landscape with their white and pink flowers. It is surrounded my several mountains and there the air we breath is pure. There my grandfather built swings and a barbacue and he planted many types of trees and flowers.
In My countryside house I've celebrated almost all my birthdays and whenever I can, I invite my friends to stay the night there. Moreover, since I was a child, all my family meet to have lunch there or to pass the day. There,everyone have fun with little. In conclusion it is one of my favourite places because there we've lived many beautiful and unforgettable moments during my childhood and it continues the same at the moment. Here is a picture of my countryside house a normal Sunday:

My summer trip to Ireland :)

          
 When someone asks me which is the best place I’ve visited, I absolutely say it is Ireland.I                  was in Ireland last summer, it was the first time that all my family and me travelled abroad              together so, it was a new experience for us. If I were you I will do my best to visit it. Ireland               is a country with really beautiful sceneries. There are lot of places to go sightseeing or                     clubbing. We were fear of the weather, it is common to be stormy but we were very lucky                  and it rained just one evening, so we could enjoy the trip.
My family and me rented a car there, and we drive all around Ireland visiting the most         striking cities like Galway, Dublin, Kilkenny, Limmerick or Belfast and we stayed at different hostels. It was the first time that my father was driving at the left side of the road in the right seat. At the beginning we were so scared and my father was really stressed but we faced the situation with humor and the last days of the trip we seemed to be irish on the road.
We visited the most interesting places in Ireland. The place I like the most was The Giant’s Causeway. It is in North Ireland, which actually is part of England and not Ireland. It is main known because of it’s striking and peculiar rocks formed after a volcanic eruption which occurred 60 million years ago.
 Another terrific  place we visited were The Cliffs of Moher. We did high altitude trekking to arrive there, it was a little crowded but we really enjoyed the views. As my mother is keen on photography, she took very nice pictures there.
One thing I was interested in was the Titanic museum in Belfast and of course the city. It was a very shocking to be at the birthplace of the world’s most famous ship. It was a cultural experience.
Ireland is a very touristic country with very famous places to visit but even in normal places, on the streets, restaurants or pubs you can enjoy of culture and art with spontaneous performances or expositions.
In conclusion, I really recommend you to visit any place in Ireland. Every part of it is magic and special and people results to be more polite than I thought before I visited it. So friends, take your warmest clothes and live this incredible adventure!

DESCRIBING SOMEBODY

I'm not going to focus on only one person, I want to write about two of my favorite people in the world. They are my twin little brothers. I've been always  protecting and looking after them. Although they're younger than me, they are a very important support. They are almost equals physically, but they have different personalities. One of them is more sensitive and warm, while the other is more nervous and he is always joking. I think that many of their qualities are the same as mines so we get on well (most of the time). I hope our relationship contiues the same as actually because they are a huge pilar in my life and definitely, the're the best brothers of the world.

Where I feel safe

I don't know how to start this entrance, but I'm going to be brief:
This is the first time I write in a blog and I'm going to talk a little about myself...
I'm a common girl with my special things, my likes and dislikes and my flaws like everybody. But I would like to focus on my love to music. I've been keen on music since I was born. My father plays the guitar and the piano. Since I'm a baby I've been listening  different types of music and as I'm growing up I'm starting to appreciate it.

When I was seven, I started to play the violin and I continue playing it at the moment. I have no words to express what I feel playing it. I feel real freedom and I really love it. However, I don't want to dedicate to the violin profesionally because I think it isn't my vocation.

It's true that classical music isn't really my favourite music, but I feel it necessary in my life. I can say that my favourites music styles are Indie and Rock. I like to investigate new bands, new faces, find new sounds and in my opinion these two styles are the widest in that sense.

I love going to concerts and festivals with my friends and meet people with my same likes. I usually spend lot of time listening to music, I really love to lie down with my earphones, to close my eyes and just think about whatever  the song that sounds reminds me. In that moment is when I feel safe. I could say that the music I listen to is myself's mirror. Definitely, I think I couldn't survive or live without music, could you?
