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.

Junk TV and its frauds.

This topic can be a bit  sensitive for someone, since there are many people who are in love of junk TV. The most channels on TV are gossip programs that do not really teach anything, but people like them because they are funny and entertaining. In contrast, there are few culture channels on TV like for example documentaries.

The main goal of enterprises is to earn money and, for it, they must get audience, offering contents that are interesting for viewers. Almost any one do not think about cultural aspects of society because people interest gossiping, hence junk TV is more extended in television world. Additionally, there are even some programs that are capable of tricking to people only for the money. An example is "Big Brother", a reality show in which a group of people are random selected to live inside a house and there have to be arguments, amorousness, fightings, etc. in order to entertain viewers. When the atmosphere is calm, the own reality tell the protagonists what they have to do, hence they are acting and it is not real. The problem is that people are easy to manipulate through television.

However, documentaries, history movies or programs related with the life ans culture are watched by very few people because the most say that they are boring. This is the reason for there are less culture channels on TV and it is very sad. Today society prefer watching junk TV to learning and developing their own culture.

About me

It is time to talk about me, about my life. I am not a very special person like other people who have talents such as playing the guitar or being able to sing well (hopefully!). I am a normal person who enjoy small things of the life and also enjoy seeing how other people are happy. I am going to talk about my physique, my personality and about my hobbies and then about my life in general.

Physically, I am thin, tall and I have curly blond hair with brown eyes. I have pale skin and also I can say that I wear glasses, although only at home, because when I go out, I usually put my contact lens. Respecting my character, I am a very responsible person with my things, although sometimes I am a bit lazy;  I am friendly;  optimistic and a bit shy. I like helping people when they have problems and besides, I like see them smile. I love animals, specially dogs. I do not like so much practising sport, but I sometimes go running: also I am interested in reading romantic and mystery books.  Moreover, I love travelling but I have not been the opportunity to travel out of Spain.

Now, what can I say about my life? Well, I live in a small village of Cuenca, called Casasimarro, but it is nearer of the province of Albacete than Cuenca. However, this year I live in Murcia because I am studying the career of English Studies there. With regard to my close family, I have one elder brother called Giovanni who is 23 years old and a wonderful mother who give all for us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Deaf and blind people with a better life.

       Deafness and blindness is a big problem which affect in life seriously. Deaf and blind people are a minority in the society but this does not mean that they are less than the rest of people. They can perfectly have a normal life, since nowadays there are many ways, thanks to the advance of technology, to endure easily these sort of problems.

      At first, blind people can use of Braille alphabet to read any kind of essay, which it is a tactile writing special system for these people. Also they can be helped by guide dogs and special sticks in order to walk whatever their want. Moreover, they are a lot of modern items and accessories that let you know their data by touch such as adapted board games, reading electronic instruments and access to information, house ítems, watches and alarm clocks, etc.

      Likewise, deaf people can make use of technologies to improve their lifestyle. For example, there are amplifiers that help them to hear a bit better or if they want to watch the TV, they only have to put the subtitles. Also they can watch conferences, seminars, etc on TV using a specific interpretation of signs system together with audio description. Other technical aids that help improve daily life at home are video intercom, warning lights and vibration, etc.

      To sum up, new technologies facilitate that people with this type of disability acquire, develop their funtional abilities, contributing to improve their quality of life.

Essay (Unity and coherence)

 STOP BULLFIGHTING

Bullfighting is an ancient tradition which is still celebrated in Spain and also in many other countries like France, United States or China. In this polemic custom, bulls are killed by called bullfighters and millions of people pay for seeing it and also enjoy how bulls die. Bullfighting should be completely banned because it is about an animal mistreatment and in contrast, people continue calling ''party'' or ''art''.

In spite of all the countries where bullfighting is celebrated, there are some places where it is forbidden. For example, in our country, in Calatonia, Asturias, Andalusia, Canary Islands and many villages; in the capital of Equator, Quito or in the city of Viana do Castelo in Portugal.

For many people, bullfighting is celebrated like a party because bullfighters kill bulls for pleasure and people enjoy and entertain seeing this spectacle. However, for me a party is something like going out with my friends to take a drink and dancing at the disco all the night.

In addition, for these people bullfighting is celebrated like an art, but I think that art is not putting a bull in the middle of a square and torture it. The truth art does not damage any animal, for instance we can consider like art a Picasso painting or the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Another thing that I have to say is that there are other animal mistreatments like dog's neglect which is very punishable, since you can go to prison and also you will have to pay big fines. And in contrast, bull's mistreatment is allowed in many places.

As a result of this, we can see that, although bullfighting is totally forbidden in some places, it is still practised in many parts of the world, Moreover, people pay for it and enjoy seeing how these animals suffer. What it's more, these people consider bullfighting like a party or an art. Personally speaking, I cannot understand how dogs' neglect and mistreatment is banned and punishable and not bulls' mistreatment, since both are equally animals.

TV, smartphones, computers, etc.: could you live without them?

    Nowadays, technology is highly developed and we can see it because of the amount of electronics which are being made and sold. They can be very useful in many occasions, but also have negative aspects.

   On the one hand, people use technology in order to entertain, to improve their culture and, above all to communicate with anyone anywhere. Moreover, life is more comfortable with these electronics, since, for example you can buy anything through Internet, or watch films on TV or online without going to a cinema.

   On the other hand, they are very addictive and if you spend long time front a TV or computer screen, it is very harmful for your health. As a result of this, you will have a sedentary lifestyle and you will put aside things or hobbies that you like.

   Personally speaking, I think that we would be equally happy without electronics and ever our health would be better. Furthermore, previously, people who lived quietly without much technology, I am sure that they enjoyed more their lives than people today, always attached to a smartphone.
