BARCELONA

BARCELONA

Barcelona is located in Spain and is the capital of Catalonia. It is visited by a lot of tourists during all the year and if you are one you must be careful with tourist traps!

Firstly, in Barcelona there are a lot of places to visit and if you want to see it all, what you have to do is to stay in the city some days.

In this big city there are a lot of monuments like the statue of Cristobal Colon that is breathtaking. There are fabulous constructions like Sagrada Familia too. Don't forget to visit it if you want to learn about the culture of Barcelona.

Secondly, if you prefer a different kind of visit there are many options too. If you are a fashion lover you have to visit the shopping centers of the city. There are a lot but my favourite one is "La Maquinista".

And if your passion is football don't forget to visit the biggest stadium in Europe. Camp Nou is in the center of Barcelona and it is gorgeous.

In conclusion, I recommend to visit the city because you will always have things to do and visit. The only problem is that staying in a hotel maybe is a nit expensive but it worths!

SHOULD EXAMS DISAPPEAR FROM SCHOOLS?

SHOULD EXAMS DISAPPEAR FROM SCHOOLS?

Why nowadays do exams in schools still exsist? In my opinion this is because it's an easy method for teachers to mark all the students equally, but I think that it isn't a good way to do it and I agree with the statment "exams have to disappear from schools".

First of all, students have different qualities from each other and if you evalue, a boy that is very good at Maths making him do a Catalan exam assessing him negatively he consequently thinks that he is not good enough for that, which is not true.

Secondly, as I see it the actual teaching method is out of date and from my point of view there are new methods that have a more practical part with new technologies.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that education has to look foward and change things that for many years ago haven't been good for learning, obviusly is a hard proces but students will learn more and enjoy themselves it!

WRITING

Why, Harry, the war soldier, has been quiet since the world war ended? He didn't brag about his experiences and in my opinion he did the best thing that he can.

First of all, life at war is very hard, but to be there in the middle of all with your life exposed to death. I think it's the hardest thing that can happen to a person.

Secondly, it's good to tell people what the reality is and they can see what really happened, but for Harry, talking about his experiences can make him remember bad moments of his life.

In conclusion, we don't need to hear Harry experiences to open our eyes and see that war can't be justifed for any reason. There are better ways to solve problems without hurting innocent people.

OPINION ESSAY

SHOULD WE BECOME VEGETARIANS?

Can we survive without eating meat for the rest of our lives? Yes, we can but our bodies need the nutrients that meat has to be energetic and healthy. I believe that meat is very important for a balanced diet.

First of all, meatgives us vitamin B12 that is essential for our brain and the rest of foods can't give it to us. Meat gives us proteins that we need to get energy on our day; plants give us protein but not much, less. There are a lot of kinds of animals. As a consequence, we can choose between different types of meat.

Secondly, human bodies need to eat plants and meat because we need nutrients of both. As i see it, meat industry creates milions of job places and if people stop consuming meat, unemployment will increase a lot.

In conclusion, people have been eating meat since prehistory and this is one reason why humanity still exsists, so I think that it is essential for a balanced and varied diet.
