REALITIES INVASION

Nowadays, TV realities are becoming increasingly famous because they're TV productions that a lot of people like to watch. In this modern society people don't mind selling their dignity if they can get fame, a big house on the beach and a great car. These programs should not be broadcasted in such a great proportion.
  They attract people and sometimes make them addicts. A lot of people tend to watch this kind of programs in their free time. This stops them from doing other activities because "they want to fin out what happens next". They like realities because they're presented on TV as if the stories were true, so this phenomenon achieve a great success between the audience.
  People who appear in realities are presented to the young society as models. A lot of young people take reality actors as idols, and most of them feel good if they behave like them and wear the same clothes they wear.They don't realize that in TV realities things are exaggerated and the actors usually shout at others, they use rude words and vocabulary and they don't treat others in a proper way. If this is taken into consideration, it can be very negative.
  The increasing broadcast of realities on TV make of us a non-cultivated generation. This issue can have several bad repercussions for our development in the future.

  In conclusion, although realities are considered as a way of entertainment, if we care about our society and our own life we should do everything that is possible to stop their emission.

MY SISTER

 

  My sister is an essential piece in my life. She has a singular physical appearance and a very strong character. Since we were little, we have been very close to each other, as we have a lot of things in common, in spite of the fact that I'm three years older tan her. I'm very glad to have her in my life.

  She doesn't have the typical spanish physical features. My sister is tall,  blond-haired and she has beautiful blue eyes, her skin is light and in her cheeks you can see lovely freckles. She is fit since she usually works out and goes to the gym. 

  My sister has an open personality. She is outgoing and enjoys meeting and speaking with new people no matter where they are from, how old they are or the language they speak. Another characteristic that defines her is that she is really optimistic, she faces the difficulties from a mature point of view, and try to solve the problems as quickly as possible, instead of complaining about them.

  I couldn't describe in just one paragraph how she makes others feel. She always lifts our moral when we are down, by giving the best advice, she is very good at telling jokes and funny stories so this produces a happy atmosphere because we can't stop laughing. She is also a very good actress and my family and I feel entertained when she performs for us. 

  It is very nice to have a person in your family that emanate good energies and is ready to help you if you have any problem. Although sometimes we fight and have disagreements, I wouldn't ever change her.

selling alcohol to underagers

 There is a practice that is increasingly happening in Spain, it is the sale of alcoholic drinks to people that are under eighteen years. This is a very problematic issue and a lot of parents don't seem to realize about its importance. Clubs should ask for the identity card when someone young buys alcohol.
  The clubs and supermarkets encourage this practice. The workers of the shops and clubs think they'll earn a lot of money from the fact that they sell alcohol to young children and other places don't. They are not conscious of the problems they can bring by doing this, especially to themselves They ought to reflect on this topic deeply.
  Some parents seem to don't care about this important issue. There are a lot of parents that have found out about this but a lot of them let it be. They should realize that bad things can happen to their children as a result of a practice that it is not legal and do an effort for protecting them, they ought to call the police if necessary and inform about this.
  It is very important to keep our society out of this situation, however, it won't be possible without the effort of the shops or clubs and the parents, the first must take the topic seriously and realize that money and a good business don't compensate the harms that they can cause, and the second must be aware of the problems that they are exposed to their children.

 

SCHOOL FAILURE IN SPAIN

Different studies on academic level have been done throughout Europe and the results for Spain haven't been really successful. There are very high rates of failure and spanish people wonder what happens with students in our country. Since different tests have shown this figure, we can understand school failure as a problem we have to face.
  Academic failure in Spain show our country as a place with a really bad education system to other countries in Europe. Spain education methods are seen as poor and ineffective. he school and high school teachers are considered not to be qualified enough for the task they carry out. People from abroad tend to think that they only give long explanations but they don't make students participate so they're not motivated. Spanish students risk not to be required for high-skilled employment in other countries. If school failure in Spain continue to exist, spanish people will miss a lot of opportunities of working abroad.
  To overcome this problem, the Education Ministry will have to play a big role. It should make new laws for the teachers to pass more examinations to make sure they're good enough for teaching; they would also have to learn more pedagogy in which they would learn how to motivate students.
  Academic failure in Spain is a very big problem which is affecting students in a negative way. If the Education Ministry starts searching for ways to stop this situation, Spanish school failure might be reduced.
