BIG BEN

Big Ben is the term used to refer to the Great bell of the clock at the north end  situated at the Palace of Westminster. The tower is officially known as the Elizabeth Tower, named in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in her Diamond Jubilee Year,  and it was buitl from 1843 to 1858. The Big Ben is one of the best known icons of London, and has been voted the Most Iconic Film Location in London. It is also one of tourists´ favourite places in London since it has an ancient and pinturesque view. Another popular tourist attraction is its height, which impresses all the peoble who visite it. Despite of being one of the most famous tourist attractions, it is not open to enter insite to overseas visitors. However, the tower hasn´t got any lift, so those who wanted to climb it have to climb the 334 limestone stairs to the top.
Last year, I visited London with my classmates and we stayed there for three days. Although this was a very short period of time to see all famous places in London, we could see The Big Ben and took a lot of photos with it.

To sum up, I want you to recomend to visit this beautiful construction and monument because it is a remarkable place to visit when you go to London.

Thinking about future...

Personally speaking I am a person who has always been really good at English, even when I was just a child, so I am pretty sure of that the next professional studies that I am going to do will be related to English. More specifically, I would like to specialise on translation and interpretation in English.

My mum has always been an important and essential person in my life since she has always supported me by giving really good tips and advices about(concerning) what really makes me feel happy and satisfied with myself, and one of these things is English.

I know that to access to the job market are really important and necessary some specific skill that are related to each degree or any job, so I have to work very hard to achieve what I want.

Nowadays, the harsh reality of our society is that we are preparing ourselves for an uncertain future in which you have no certainty(certain) if you are going to have a job in what you want(to do), or even if you are going to find a job. 


Above all of this, I am pretty sure of that I will work on a job related to English and to many different languages such as German or French since when I propose something I achieve it due to I am a very determined person who wants to dedicate her life to what she likes and enjoys.

THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION

People are not always really concern about how important education is in our society and in our life.

Nowadays, every teenager and every single child has access to internet and to many electronic gadgets. This teen social media addiction has increased in the last years since modern teenagers have become addicted to new technologies and social media, and as I see it, that is not good for them since sometimes they forget their responsibilities of studying and doing a degree to find the employment they want to do in the future.

Personally speaking tests can be a good educational tool and helpful for education, but they do not excite us or do not encourage us to find what we want to do during our entire life. They do not help us to determinate how we can work by our own or do and fight things by ourselves. 

To my mind a person can do magnificently on a test, but understands very little. Our educational system is geared to get children pass the tests or exams, just for that. If you ask a student something he or she has studied along the last year at school or high school,  he will probably  not remember nothing, since students are getting in used of memorize what they have to put on the exams without learning almost anything.

In addition, many institutions want people to be indoctrinated, for not be able to ask too many questions. This is one of the reasons of why education is so important nowadays is our lives, due to we need to be better human beings and feel comfortable with ourselves and be able to fight for what we want in our life.

To sum up, teaching ought to be inspired for  students to find and study by their own what they want to do during their whole life.
Family is a concept which is really important in people´s lives since it is our most important support and help in our life and in the bad moments that can happen to us.
First of all I am going to talk about the most admired member to me in my family, which/who is my mother. She is the strongest person I´ve ever known in my life due to she is always protecting her family and taking care of them no matter bad(worse) is the situation, she always find a way to get ahead and to see the positive side of the problem. I admired her not only for that, there much many more reasons such as she always supports me and advice me to take good decisions in my life and that she always put others first.  She is a wonderful person who only wants the best for her two daughters, my sister Marta and me.

My sister is ten years old and, as I see it, she is the tiny tot of my family since she is very cute and lovely. To my mind she looks like my mother because both of them are really outgoing and cheerful. She is pretty different from me in many ways. As an example I tell you that she is always in moving and she can´t stay calm or still. In a word, we are opposites. Sometimes she can be a little stubborn, but she is so cute and pretty that you will love her at the first time you meet her. 

Space Debris

Space Debris is a really important problem that affects the environmental of our planet and the "living things" that live in it. To my mind people are not always really concern about how environmental problems such as Space Debris can affect our world and can also be really harmful for  people who live in it. We are get in use of being people who don´t care about their own planet.
I. Negative effects on environment.
A: Space Debris can be radioactive and explosive.
II. Endangering nature and "living things"
A: Space Debris can be really hurful for our planet.
Finally, I want you to think about the consequences of our bad behaviour with our planet and I also want to encourage you to try to do something to contribute  and help our planet.
Nowadays, people are strongly influenced by social networks, and teenagers are part of this group of people too. We are get in used of using social media and new technologies for everything in our life, and as I see it, that's not really good for us since we are turning into people who depend on new technologies and social networks, which are not as good as can be seen at first due to they can be considered a bad influence for modern teenagers. This is because in this networks are showed certain contents that encourage teenagers to do what everyone at the moment do and to follow the fads.
This is a widely used way in modern teenagers who do what people usually do just only to make friends or to fit in society and gain a reputation without thinking in the consequences.  This way of having a good time and sharing happiness with friends is developing in certain activities which are not good for people's healthy, such as drinking and smoking.
There are many reasons of this teenagers' behavior, such as making friends or trying to fit in society, but there are also some less common reasons, like an unhappy childhood. This last cause produce in teenagers an aggressive and impulsive behavior which leads them into social problems.

Personally speaking you don't have to do things which you don't want to since you have to have our own personality to decide what you want to do in your life.  To my mind you don't have to take the easy way just because everybody chooses it, you have to decide it by yourself.
