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.

My sister

To do this writing I’m going to describe my sister.

First of all I’m going to describe her physically. My sister is thirteen years old, she’s normal height and weight. Everybody says that we look after eachother.I think that is because we both have our mothers same nose.

Now, I´m going to explain how is she. She is a bit shy if she doesn’t know the person who is speaking to. But if she knows that person she’s quite a talkative and also outgoing. When she is happy she’s a really nice person. However, when she gets angry she is totally different. She isn’t such a nice person and her behaviour changes a lot. Instead of being pleasant and talkative, she becomes rude and disagreeable.But fortunately,that doesn’t happen a lot of times.

Normally, I get on well with her. But that isn’t because we have same interests. For example, she really likes listening to the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cirus, whereas I don’t. She also likes watching films, like I do. Although I normally get on well with her, we also get angry. But I think that is normal to get angry with the sisters or brothers.

David Logan on tribal leadership

David Logan is an expert in the practice of understanding people’s communication within a company.

In this talk, he explains how five kinds of tribes are naturally formed by humans. Each tribe is in a stage. So, there are five stages.

The first one, is the lowest one and we need to learn from it. This stage produces people who do horrible things. After this stage comes stage two, this is when people do every kind of thing to survive even if that means undermining other people. The next stage is number three, this is the one that many of us are in. In this stage everyone says “I’m the best. And you’re not”. The difference between stage three and four it is that in number four we say “we’re great” nstead of saying “I’m great”. Finally, the headline of number five says that “life is great”. The people in this stage are the ones that change the world.

In conclusion, everyone wants to stay in stage five but most of them there are not: 2% are in stage one,25% are in stage two, 48% are in stage three, 22% are in stage four and 2% are in stage five.

IS ENGISH A MANIA?

My parents always wanted to go to England, but they were waiting so far just for a reason: they don´t know how to speak English, so they were waiting until I could manage to speak it.

In my opinion, this question is a bit difficult to answer. What I mean is that it isn´t a piece of cake. On the one hand, English could be a mania, but on the other hand not. Personally I don´t have a clear idea.

Fistly, I´m going to explain why it can be a mania. To begin with, English is a really important lenguage and everyone wants to speak it. This is because it´s like a global lenguage. What I want to say is that with English you can comunicate almost with all the people in the world. For example, if you want to have an important job, such as a politician, you really need this lenguage to speak with people in other countries. However, if you like travelling you should also speak English because if you get lost or you have to ask for something English is really useful.

Although English is a very important lenguage, it isn´t used everyday. This is because we aren´t used to speak a lot of English, we just speak it when we are in English class or if someone English is with us. But we don´t speak English in our homes because each country has its own lenguage, and if we don´t speak our own lenguages they will get lost.

So, is English a mania or not? To tell the truth I have no idea. Everyone wants to study it, but anyone speaks it unless it´s necessary.
