Immigration is the introduction of new people into another country. Nowadays it’s a really common thing, and there are more and more immigrants in our country. But is immigration good or bad?
On the one hand I think that immigration is good because it gives cultural diversity to our country. Moreover although some people think that they bring unemployment, I don’t. What’s more, I think that it’s really useful for native people because, usually, immigrants work on things that we don’t want to. Futhermore, I also think that immigration helps us to be less racists.
On the other hand, immigration can also be bad. It can be bad because of overpopulation, this happens when immigrates go to a small place that is overcrowded. What’s more, if they don’t have enough money to make ends meet, they steal things; and that brigs violence. Furtehermore, some cities need more people because their citizens have gone away.
To sum up, I have to say that in my opinion we should help more to the immigrants; I think that it has to be really difficult going to another country without knowing what is going to happen to you. Some immigrants die when they’re going to another country thinking that they will have a better life, and when the others arrive they realize that it will be really hard.

My description
I’m 17 years old and I live in Zarautz, a beautiful town which has a wonderful beach. I live in a flat which is in the town centre and next to the beach. I live with my parents, my sister and my dog.
I’m a peaceful and calm girl and normally I don’t get angry. But I do get stressed quite easily, especially with school things. When that happens, I go for a walk with my dog and I get calm again.
One of my favourite things is hanging out with my friends without doing nothing because we always have fun. I’m not a very talkative person but I like listening the others and I love laughing with them.
I really like reading and going to the cinema. I like all kind of books, but although I like when a book has a love story in it, I don’t when it’s just about love. Some of my favourite books are Harry Potter, The outsiders, El sanador de caballos and La calle de los sueños.But if we talk about films I cannot choose anyone. It depends on the day I have that I’ll like the film more or less.
I would like to understand all the cultures but although I try I think that it’s very difficult to accept all of them.

Are you looking forward to vote?
In less than a year time, the next local elections will take place.By then, I am going to be eighteen years old, so I will be able to vote if I want to. But, will I be ready to vote?
To tell the truth I have no idea. On the one hand, I have to say that in my opinion voting is a very important thing and that not everyone can do it. I think this because we live in a democracy and every person who is adult can vote. What is more, I think that because this right states that we can choose the government and not every country can do that.
On the other hand, I have to say that I don’t know a lot about politics. I think that I just know the easiest things, such as which parties are left and which ones are right. Although I try to catch up with politics watching the news or reading the newspaper, I don’t understand a lot about them.
To sum up, I think that I am not ready to vote. In my opinion I have to learn more things about politics before voting.

MY BEST PRESENT
I know that for a lot of people this choice will be very difficult to make but not for me. The best present I ever received is my dog, BELTXI.
It was Christmas, 2006, just a day before Olentzero. I was having dinner with my family: my parents, my sister and me. Suddenly my parents told us that they had to speak with us. I didn’t know what was happening, and, of course, I didn’t expect what was going to happen. They told us that they had made a decision: next day we were going to the doghouse to take a dog!!! It was the best new I ever received.
That day I was thirteen yeas old and it was the best day of my life. But I had to struggle a lot before that day. When I realized that I couldn’t have a donkey at home I started asking for a dog. Every birthay my family ask me what I want as a present, and I used to give the same answer: a dog. Every Christmas I used to write to the magic kings and I used to ask them for a dog. That was my dream and finally I got it.
Beltxi was my first dream, that’s why I never gave in and that’s why I love her so much.

EUROPEAN UNION
I don’t know lots of things about the European Union because I’m not really interested on it. I’ve been searching in the internet and I have found this definition for the European union: The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 27 member countries, located primarily in Europe. Committed to regional integration, the EU was established by the Treaty of Maastricht on 1 November 1993 upon the foundations of the European Communities.
However, I think that for me and for all the young people the most interesting thing about the European Union is the Erasmus. This is a student exchange program. It consists on going to another country to study, but almost all the people goes there to have fun and to go to parties.
There are a lot of places to go to. But almost everybody wants to go somewhere where they can meet a lot of people, go partying and visit beautiful places.
To finish, I want to say that everybody wants to go out with this program. And also, if you go to a country where they speak a language that you are studying it will help you a lot because you’ll practice a lot.

DEATH
From my point of view, I think that death is a really bad topic to talk about just because I think that is a very difficult thing to explain. Everybody knows that dying means not living but nobody knows what is coming after the end. There are some people that think that after dying we born again like an animal or a person. Other people think that we go to the heaven or to the heal.
But in my opinion the most important thing is that when a person dies, he or she dissapears and we cannot see that person again. I think that that’s the real reason why people don’t like speaking about death because when our relatives die is really difficult to forget about them.
To finish, I think that dying is a natural thing and that everybody is going to pass away one day in their lifes. Some people will die earlier than others but it doesn’t mean that the others won’t die.

EDGAR AND THE MAP
As the title says, this film is about a boy called Edgar and a map that he has found. It has two parts.
I have started making this film in English class with Maria Lazkano, we have made the first part together. In the first part, Edgar finds a map and with the help of Eva he goes to find the treasure. This part is a bit mysterious because it finishes without knowing what is going to happen.
In the second part, we find out the mystery of the story. In this part, they go running from the park to the forest and then to the jungle. And in the middle of the jungle, they found a cave and go into it quietly. In the cave they start looking for the treasure and they found a lot of money. They start dancing and jumping because they are so happy.

Nowadays, almost all the teenagers drink alcohol, usually in weekends or parties, just because everybody do that and it’s really easy to buy it. But why do teenage people drink alcohol?
I think that teenagers shouldn’t drink alcohol because it is not good for their health. I don’t really understand why people get drunk. They say that it’s just for having fun and also for getting out the shyness, but when I see people trying to walk down the street with the help of other three people I think that they aren’t having fun and that because of them the other three are getting really bored. So, in my opinion that’s why parents in some countries allow their children drink alcohol in special ocassions. I mean, they allow them to get used to it and like that they won’t drink so much when they are older. But should teenagers be educated drinking alcohol?
I absolutely disagree with that because I think that if those children like alcoholic drinks, they will want to drink more and more eachtime and they will be drunk a lot of times. However, I do know that this won’t happen always and that some of those children can be great connoiseurs of wine.
To finish, in this writing it seems that I am totally against alcohol, but it’s not that. It’s that I just don’t understand why people drink alcohol.

FASHION
A lot of people think that being fashionable is a really important thing nowadays. When I say fashionable, I mean that if something is popular in a particular time they have to buy it, use it or wear it even if they don’t really like it. Because if they don’t do that they will be out of fashion. But what’s in and what is out of fashion?
On the one hand, I think that the things that are in right now are all the gadgets that are tactile such as mobile phones or cameras. Laptops are also in because nowadays everybody uses the internet for a lot of different things.
On the other hand, you are out if you don’t have all those things. I think that mp3s are not really trendy because almost every one has iPods or mp4.
To sum up, in my opinion it’s a silly thing being in or out of fashion. Because the most important thing in a person is not how he or she wears, what she uses or does,the most important thing is if he or she is a good person or not. I think that you can’t really know a person who wears so fashion when you meet her because there will be a lot of people wearing the same things.
