    Christmas is already here! As every year I am always looking forward to arriving these date because it is one of the best festive season for me in the whole year. I and, as almost everybody, usually gather with the family during all Christmas and we hold Christmas Eve and  New Year’s Eve with a great dinner prepared with expensive and special dishes for the occasion. After I go out to celebrate with my friends and my boyfriend; we usually go to the disco and spend the night dancing.

      During these days I enjoy a lot with my friends; for example we go skating at the ice rink or go to cinema. When Christmas arrive, I love setting up the tree and the crib and decorating my home. In addition, I like buying gifts to my family and leave under the tree at Christmas Day. I also like open my presents that day; it is as if it was my birthday.

    Likewise, I always try to pass all my exams because thus, I can enjoy and relax these days. In contrast, this year everything has changed, since it is my first year studying at the university and as everyone knows, exams are unfortunately on January. Therefore, I will have to spend all Christmas season studying hard. This year and the rest of the career will be very hard for me.

Mobile phones among teenagers

   Mobile phones, or now also called smartphones, have supposed a key breakthrough in technology. This particularly innovated electronic gadget has affected and changed the lifestyle of most young people in many aspects.

    Nowadays it is not difficult to find any teenager using the mobile phone, since now everybody has one. In addition, broadband connections, which allow them to go on-line more quickly, are widely available everywhere (at restaurants, at any station or even inside buses). This let teens be communicated all time, above all though social networks. Likewise, they can download all kinds of applications to do great variety of things: from playing a game to watching a film.

     But, are all these facilities really nice for young people? They are believed that smartphones are very useful and entertaining, and they are right, in contrast most of them have become very addicted and do not know how take control; they are completely absorbed in their phones. As a result of this, they will not develop correctly their communicative abilities and the physical contact with real people, especially if they begin to use them from childhood. Moreover, its continued use is harmful to health. 

    Due to the fact that teen are so connected to smartphones, we should take serious measures. For instance, an idea would be to establish a limited connection per day on our phones so that we cannot access or Internet or any app when this period of time ends. Besides, parents should be aware of their their children can make a misuse of them. Therefore, they do not have to let their kids spend all the day using these gadgets either they navigate websites alone.

   Overall, I wish everybody think a bit about this great problem that is influencing in the whole world. I am not saying that I am against smartphones, only I would like that children take advantage the time in other more important items.
