Nowadays, in Spain education laws are being changed in order to allow young people yo stop studying earlier so we get unskilled workers for cheaper. The problem of non-studying is so old that Spanish people are thought to be lazy, simple and stupid. Our current government's solution is to give an early exit so they win affection and stupid people who will vote them for a long time.
Our education system is deficient but the problem is not students, it is the whole system, from the minister to the teachers. It's well-known that being a teacher is a comfortable job, with many holidays and less work. However being a teacher is not only a profession, it is a vocation.
In some countries as Sweden you have to pass many aptitudes exams to be a teacher, if you are not prepared you won't pass. Trough my school time I had many teachers who really enjoyed what they do, and others who did it because it is a good job. And what I mean is that the way someone teaches you something makes you love it or hate it.
Of course kids don't want to study so we have to be taugh with them. But some people just think that their children are not made to study or fathers who doesn't care. However our future is a bit complicated, we live in a world where the crisis is our daily news. So we need to be prepared.

In the city centre there are traffic james, noise, air pollution and all those things make our house look like an expensive tomb because it's impossible open the windows. In addition, the nearer you are to the city centre, the more expensive a flat is. A good solution is not to allow cars in the city centre, this is used in cities as London or Barcelona and it works.

Passion - Intro and Conclusion
Everything we learn is helpful in our lives but when you're translating a Greek
fable written more than 2000 years ago and you read about something that
happens today, that help you to understand this life. Many people think that
studying this is a way to scape from math but it's more than that, it's a
passion. When you translate a text and make a mistake all it changes, the
meaning is completely different and there is the beautiful of words and slyness
of syntaxes.
I spend too much time wondering what to study when that passion was inside me. I felt it everytime I listened English music, I saw anime, I learned some Greek... When I saw my English teachers talking about a simple phrase with so much passion in their words, I remember me thinking I want to be like this and teach that passion to others. And I'm on my way.

Outline - What are you grateful for?
Everybody should say once a day what are they grateful for. Time flies and "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." - John Lennon.
We all are lucky in a way or another, but not everybody can see it. So If you have the time, after being all day at university and you come home walking don't think what you did or what you're going to do, feel the sun on your cheeks or the wind on you back.
- Say what you think no matter how silly it would be
- Say "I love you"
- Say "Thank you"
- Be honest
- Stop complaining
- Realize all the things you have
- Enjoy every second
- Take an hour for you everyday
- Wander

Studying at University, personal experience
I had a different idea about university. I though I would have no homework, I couldn't imagine so many compolsury hours... I wanted to be all day lied on green grass, without worries in my mind and having fun with my friends... Too much american movies.
At first, I was scared because I didn't know if I could do new friends or if I could be good enough for this career but actually I like what I study and I am grateful for my classmates, specially Irene, Rodri, Cristina and Sara they are so funny!
This career is not easy at all but it's very satisfying. Everyday we learn useful and interesting things, maybe for some people is boring but as a philogist I love every single word. Moreover, studing arabic is amazing, I don't know much but I know read pretty well and it is a great step foward. To be honest, it is hard but it will help me in my future.
To sum up, I have to say that the university is time-consuming, from the time I get up to the time I go to bed I have to do homeworks, check my email, check sakai, study, go to class... I never thought it would be so tiring! But all the effort worth. (I hope)

First Práctica Evaluable - Opinion paragraph
I like mixing sweet and salty food, it is delicious and tasty. When I cook I usually add sweet things as chocolate or honey to my dishes and they turn out with an amazing flavour. However, my boyfriend doesn't agree, he hasn't a sweet tooth. He prefers sweets as dessert. But he sometimes changes his mind when I cook chocolate beef stew or raspberry and honey salad. Maybe many people couldn't try this dishes but actually the salt and the sweet are complementing each other. In my opinion, everybody should add some sweet to their salty-bitter lives. I mean, don't be afraid of the unknown because you could lose a whole world of new experiences.
