Having a pet. Pros and Cons

 Comp-04: Having a pet. Pros and Cons

    Pets are really cute. Small hair balls which make funny and silly things. There are really different kinds, from cats to hamsters. But, is having a pet as easy and good as it can sound?

    On the one hand, we have the fact that they can be really beneficial for you. They can accompany you, reducing the isolation feeling, they can increase your self-esteem, they can make you more responsible, etc. Added to this, they are living beings, which will make you create a loving relationship really quickly, becoming part of your own family.

    On the other hand, as I said before, they are living beings, which means that you have to take care of them. They aren´t a cute plushie, they need to be fed, to be washed, they´ll have illnesses and they requiere attention. If you can´t assume this responsability, you shouldn´t have a pet.

    In summary, pets can be beneficial for you, improving your mood and your health. But you have to know that you are taking care of a life, so it requires a big commitment. 

 

Why is Andalucia so attractive for tourists?

 Comp-03: Why is Andalucia so attractive for tourists?

    Andalucia is known as a place of sun, beaches, historical places and beautiful natural sceneries. Certainly, it is a good place to visit. However, we have had to earn this reputation somehow, haven´t we? Well, let´s see what incredible things Andalucia can offer.

    First of all, let´s start with material things. Tourists all around the world come to Andalucia searching for a place with good beaches and many hours of sun. And that´s true, Andalucia has many of the best beaches of all the country, but if you don´t like swimming, many other sports like cycling, skiing or climbing are offered here. If you are interested in History, we have some of the most important monuments of Spain, and even the world. You can visit Alhambra, The Cordoba´s Mosque, La Giralda, etc.

    If this isn´t enough for you, we have more to offer. Andalusians are known all over the world as lazy people, but that´s not true. Andalucia is full of kind and interesting people, who will treat you really well. Another important fact is food, standing out our "Salmorejo" or "Gazpacho". Once you are already well fed, you can spend your time visiting museums, watching theatre plays or watching different kinds of shows.

    
In summary, Andalucia is the perfect place for your summer holidays, filled with activities to do, places to visit and food to taste. When are you coming?

 

Do you like cartoon movies?

 Comp-02: Do you like cartoon movies?

    Cinema has evolved a lot during the last years. We have changed black and white movies to high definition ones. It is completely different to what it was before! Technology has evolved with cinema, allowing directors to improve the visual quality of their works with special effects. One of the genres which has evolved the most is cartoon movies.

     A few years ago, cartoon movies were just a way to keep your children entertained, just a handmade film for kids. But nowadays, they´re more than that. Today, cartoon movies are made with computers, and they have really detailed models with lots of effects which let us have a really different experience than the "real films".

    The topics of these films have changed a lot too. If we see a Disney film from about 20 years ago, we can see that most of them talk about a princess being saved by a beautiful prince. However, nowadays Disney has evolved and is trying to explore different topics: feelings, racism, equality, etc 

    Personally, I love animation films. I think they offer a really different experience that a real film can´t offer, making you feel things you couldn´t with other genres. This is added to the notalgia factor, which makes us remember our younger times. This, added to the topics that they can teach to the kids, leaves us a genre with an incredible potential.

 

 

Do you think men and women have the same job opportunities?

Comp-01:  Do you think men and women have the same job opportunities?

 

 Society has advanced a lot during the years. Nowadays, most countries are evolved enough to offer a house, a job and many other life-quality guarantees to their citizens. That´s true, but there are still some things that have to be changed, for example, inequality. Accurately, inequality between men and women.

  During the last years, we have been watching lots of women on TV, telling the world there isn´t equality between women and men in jobs. It is a fact that women gain a lot less money than men do in some jobs, doing exactly the same actions and working the same hours, but there are other things that are unacceptable too.

 For example, if a woman hsa the desire to be mother, she won´t be probably hired, because the company doesn´t want to pay her the sick leave. Apart from examples like this one, they have to lead with flirtations, wwhich men don´t have to cope with, and that can be exhausting.

 In summarry, it is obvious that women don´t have the same opportunities as men, but fortunately, there are feminist groups asking for their rights, so I hope in a few years´ time, they will be free from this kind of things.

Comp-06: A formal letter about a loan

 Comp-06: A formal letter about a loan

 To: Granada Bank     From: David Bacas

Subject: Petition of loan

To whom it may concern, 

    First of all, I would like to introduce myself. My name is David Bacas, I come from Molvizar, a little town in the south of Granada. I have been studying app designing for 4 years, in the University of Granada, and I have already participated in the development of an app, a video editor.

   Now, I think it is the moment to start my own project. The idea of the project is an app which you can use to meet people all around the world. When you open it, you will inmediately start a conversation with someone from a different country, and you decide if you want to continue talking with him or talk to someone new.

   I think it could be really a interesting app, because it will allow you to meet people from other countries, so it will let you discover new countries, their traditions and their people.

   If you are interested in the app, I would like to ask for a loan of €20.000, and I wold like to pay it back in 10 years' time. I would like to know the interest rate, so I would be pleased if you answer me back telling me about it.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully, 

Mr. D. Bacas.

Stay strong, stay healthy!

 Comment 7:Stay strong, stay healthy!!!

 As we can see, things are getting harder. We are entering another confinement and people doesn´t seem to be scared. We came from a lockdown a few months ago, and no one looks worried about going through the same situation all over again. There are lots of local shops that have closed, lots of families who don't have money to eat, lots of people who could have healed, and sadly now are gone, lots of students who have problems with their exams because the online classes are mostly useless. This virus has affected everyone, and it´s a job of everyone to stop it.
We can´t help in the same way doctors do, but everyone can help. If we always wear mask, respect the security distance and wash our hands a few times a day, we´ll stop the infection and we´ll finally end this nightmare.

In my opinion, this pandemic is going to take a few years, so it´s in our hands to reduce the damage it causes, we must be careful with what we do. These pictures we see about people having parties with more than a hundred people, or demonstrations wondering why we must wear mask, or some influencers telling their followers that the virus is a joke and that everyone should do what they want. We must be careful with what we hear, and we should only bealieve what professionals say.
Keep strong! We´ll overcome it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Social media profile, your interests

 Comp-01: Social media profile, your interests

     I´m David, a sixteen-year-old student from Molvizar. I was born in Baza, Granada, but when I was 4 years old, I moved to Molvizar. Nowadays, I study at IES Mediterraneo Salobreña, and currently I´m studying 1ºBach.

 

     I´m interested in many different things, and I have a few hobbies . One of them is playing videogames, I love it! I think videogames are a really good way to send a message, but not in the same way as films do. Videogames let you empathize with the character you control, which films don´t do in the same way. My favourite game is "League of Legends", a 5 vs 5 game where teamwork is essential. I usually play it with some friends and we have lots of fun.

     Another hobby could be watching films and series. At home, I have Netflix, and when I have free time, I like spending it watching series. I like it because they´re different from videogames. They´re a great way to spend your time when you have a bad day or you are tired from school. My favourite series is called "Your lie in April". It is about a pianist who, during his childhood, got traumatized, and now he can´t hear the piano anymore while he is playing. The pianist meets a girl that during the series will help him to love the piano again. It is a really beautiful series and I´ve watches it many times.

     Finally, if I had to choose only one of my hobbies, I´d definitely select videogames. Even knowing that series can make feel things videogames can´t do, when I play videogames I spend really a goodtime, and I´ve met some of my best friends there, so I think videogames are very important for me.
