 The Advantages and disadvantages of having a job while at university.

 Many people work while he or she is studying at university. It has advantages but it has disadvantages too. A principal advantage is that if you have a work you can pay te price of the university (that it isn't cheap). Also, if you have a work you can manage your own money and you can buy everything you want without asking anybody for money. You can also save more money to the studies that follow the degree (a master, for example), to buy a car, to indepence from your parents house... On the other hand, the obvious drawbacks with work while you are studying is that you have much less time to study because of your job. Moreover, you live more tired because your life is more stressful and you don't have energy for studying and you don't have so much time to study, a fact that can influence in your marks. So, I consider that each person must thinking about what is the best election for him or for her and always he must be objetive and see his situation for choose one option or the other.

Do schools kill the creativity of the kids?

Do schools kill kid's creativity? I had never wondered this question, but, if you think a bit about it, you can conclude that actually they do this normally. Since we are childrens, teachers want us that we memorize some texts and pages of the books and then we have to say in the exam the same as we had read before. Kinds are plenty of creativity and this medium doesn't stimulate their imagination. I think that as long as you understand what you are studying, this way of learn is OK and you can learn so much, but I sometimes consider that this mechanism kill the creativity of kids, because it not allow them to think by themselves. It is true that there are some subjects which promote creativity and imagination because they allow you to think by yourself and have your own opnions and ways to see some things. Some of these subjects are art, and the older we make the more creative are subjects, like citizenship, ethic and philosophy,(that are when we are teenagers)  Moreover, in the modality of Bachillerato "Bachillerato of scenic and plastic arts", the creativity of the students is very important. To sum up, I believe that the creativity in schools it isn't taken into account most of the time, but there are exceptions.

My opinion paragraph.

I would like to start this opinion paragraph by saying that Mark Zuckerberg's idea must be beneficial for refugees because it can be a great way to talk with their families and friends and to ask for help, which is the most important for these refugees. Moreover, if the refugees had Internet, they could amuse themselves and they wouldn't be bored. In summary,  I consider that the idea of bringing them Internet access must help them to deal better with their situation.

To my mind, providing that this medium to refugees to flee from war and poverty must have a drawback, apart from the advantages. I think that instead of using mediums to bring them Internet access, the volunteers should try to give refugees ways to find a job and consequently live like most people, with an individual home.
To sum up, I consider that this help has its right part and its bad part, but is is a great and original idea.

This week.

This week (since nine of October until fifteen of October) has been a bit boring. Nevertheless, there were only three years of class, because thursday was the day of the hispanidad and we didn't go to the university. In these days without classes I honestly took a rest. I met with my friends, wathching series, and on Saturday I went shopping to buy some clothes that I needed. But, however, I have done my homeworks.

English Estudies.

   Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about why I am in this degree and how I feel in this moment about it.

  The last year I have been studying second of bachillerato and it has been the hardest curse I have had in my life. I had to study a lot of time and sometimes I had to keep awake very late on the night to study for my exams. I passed all my subjects with good marks and then I had to make the university entrance exams in June. I had been studied for a month to these exams and finally I passed all of them and I get the mark of 11,49. I wanted to study at university English Translation and Interpretation, but the cut-off mark was higher than I have. For this reason, finally I couldn´t get in this degree and I had to enroll me in the degree I am, English Estudies, and honesty, I have reaslised that I like it very much for this moment and I don´t want to change degree.

I have to admit that I´m a bit nervous and worried about this degree because I think that maybe I don´t have the level that it needs in people that curse it, but I love English since I was a girl and I won´t give up.
