 MEDIATION: BENEFITS OF LIFELONG LEARNING ( by C. Barea)

According to this article about the benefits of lifelong learning, this kind of learning can make people happier and healthier. 

Firstly, it says that just reading a few pages of a good book every day the stress level goes down quickly. Besides,in the same way, the article highlights that learning to play a musical instrument is like food for the brain as such activity puts all our senses into action. Nevertheless,-the article adds- if you don’t have time for these activities, learning something new is also possible in other ways, such as starting a new hobby or joining a gym. So, you can meet a lot of people with common interests.

In short, our brain is like our body: the more they do, the more they want to do.Both of them require continuous activities throughout our life so that we maintain constant happiness and well-being.

TECHNOLOGY?? YES, WITH RESTRICTIONS !!

TECHNOLOGY? YES,  WITH RESTRICTIONS ( BY IRENE OCTAVIO - 2 CIE)

Firstly,  (the) technology helps us with plenty of things like the invention of machines which make our lives easier. Furthermore, the creation of the internet that facilitates communications and ways to get information. However, is it an advantage or a disadvantage for our health? 

The advantages of technology in health are that improve the ways to diagnose someone of an illness. Besides,  it created new treatments for diseases. Nevertheless,  the disadvantages are that as long as you use the electrical appliances in excess, it may be dangerous, ecause of the fact that it could turn out an addiction. Moreover,  it could damage our sight or if you always use the earphones in the maximum volume, your ears will be damaged. Moreover, social networks may worsen our mental health. 

In conclusion,  nowadays,  it is difficult to imagine a world without advanced technology, d ue to the fact the technology is used in all aspects of our lives. Anyway,  if you abuse it, it will cause you problems or damages to your health. 

 

VILLAGE MOUSE OR CITY RAT??

 ARE YOU A VILLAGE MOUSE OR A CITY RAT?

Well I was born in a village and I lived there until my twelves then I moved to the city in order to study and go to the university. Now I live in a village although closer to the city than when I was a child.

In my opinión, when you are a child, living in a small village is the best, you can go out alone because it’s safer than the city. Moreover, everyone knows each other. Playing in the street with your friends is really enjoyable, cars hardly circulate and neighbours take care of yours.

Nevertheless, you can’t go to A secondary school in a small village. Then,  you have two options either you take a bus to go to the closer secondary school or you move to the city. Living in the city has advantages for young people because there are many entertainments such as cinema, museums, gyms and also a lot of shops.

All in all, I prefer living in a village but near to the city that way, I can enjoy the quietness  from a village and services from the city.

SHOULD EVERYONE HEAR OUR CONVERSATIONS???

 Should everyone hear what you are saying?

( by Vero Bas from 2 bcss)

We live in a society that is used to doing it anywhere: on the bus, on the train, in restaurants and even in the movies. Moreover, talking on the mobile phone in public places has become part of our daily life, but I think that we should control our speech at all times, since we are not always in the right places or times.

There is no doubt nowadays, mobile phones play an important part in everyone's lives. Almost everyone on the Earth's population owns a mobile phone. They are compact, convenient and very useful to have around in an emergency. However, they aren’t only used for that reason, but we use them on a daily basis, to disconnect, to enjoy free time, to listen to music. In addition, mobile phones are used by us as work tools. But the point is that we listen to any conversation in a public place, and it's clear that the majority of these conversations are not urgent. 

Of course, there are calls that are important and must be answered immediately. In such cases, why can't people go to a more private place to take the call? I do not think that the conversations that take place on the buses, for example, are so urgent that they cannot be answered with a message. I think there should be places where you can talk more openly without the need for everyone to hear, something like smoking areas.

In conclusion, the mobile phone is a great invention that has made our lives much easier, but in my opinion, calls should be more private. So, unless people use cell phones for emergencies, we will have to continue listening to people who speak very loudly on cell phones.

A.I. (By Desiree- adm3)

 Firstly, I’m going to explain what A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is. The A.I. is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality.

Now, I choose to talk about one specific theme, it is the micro-chip in our hands. All in the class said ‘the chip will control us’ but at present we are spied by the big enterprises and the government too. The technology is growing at times and if you don’t follow it, you won’t prosper in the new age.

Finally, I think that the technology is a part of our lives and in the present and future you will not to be able to live without a smartphone or a computer.

Sincerely, Accept it and live next to the technology.

PEOPLE RIGHTS MUST BE RESPECTED

 CONFERENCE

VIDEO CONFERENCE: THE NEW NORMAL ( by Irene Almenara from adm 3)

The video shows clear pólice abuse in peaceful demonstrations, but the order to act like this has never been given by anyone.

We have all seen, both on television and in the networks or newspapers, how a demonstration ended with several injured and detained, where they put the protesters as those who started the fight. But there are many peaceful demonstrations in which the police go directly to beat them, where they throw people to the ground, they kick and punch them once they are already immobilized, but that is not talked about, it is always the protesters who are the bad guys, the ONES WHO  act badLY. The problem is that someone has given the order for them to go like this, but that someone, you never know who it is for sure because they cover each other's backs. The strike is -- people's right, and as long as they are peaceful there is no need for the authorities to intervene.

In my opinion, I think it is a very clear abuse of power, in which senior officials send their subordinates to do their dirty work, and if they refuse, well, easy, we kick them out and that's it, and that's not right People have rights, and not only do they take away those rights, but often even life.
