Lottery...

Firstly, with the famous crisis, everyone wants to win the lottery. There are a lot of unemployed people, who really need money. However, winning the lottery isn´t the answer to our problems, although it is true that can help us. Many families have a lot of problems because of crisis, but sometimes money don´t give the happiness.

The key is to have a lot of lucky. Buying and buying lottery tickets could be a disadvantage, because maybe you never hit the jackpot, and you probably lose a lot of money for anything. On the other hand, if you don´t buy any lottery ticket you won´t have the possibility of win anything either. Moreover, some people waste money on nonsense, and there are many people, who really need to save money. Donate some money to charities, for example, could be a good idea.

I think that it is very important to make the right decision when you have a lot of money. If I won the lottery, firstly I would be in shock, secondly I would shout nervously, thirdly I would burst into tears and finally, when I am aware, I would save money and obviously I would travel a lot.

Adverts in today’s society

It is true that each person is different, some people have more personality than others, but I think that the majority of today´s society, especially young people is influenced by adverts and commercials. When an adult sees an advert does not affect in the same way as young people because young people are more influenced by the style than adults.

Marketing strategy is the main reason why the people buy different products. TV adverts show us the product with special effects or catchy jingles to make an impact. There are a lot of marketing strategies that achieve to persuade the spectator to buy the product. The people remember the song of the advert or your favourite famous person is involved in the advert; these are examples of successful TV adverts. Normally these adverts have an enormous budget to promote a product.

There are a lot of make of products that do not need to have much success in their adverts because they are recognized brands, for example: Adidas, Nike, iPhone…

Furthermore, depend of TV program that we are seeing the adverts are different, that is to say, if we are seeing a football match, normally the adverts will be more interesting for men. However if we are seeing serie, gossip show or cooking programme, the adverts will be more focusing for women, even if we are seeing cartoons, the adverts will be toys and a lot of funny things for children.

Finally, I think that adverts are a good strategy to promote a product and clearly they are a good business. 

Family

Firstly, I have a big family. On the one hand my maternal grandmother had six children, one of them is my mother and each child has had two children, except my aunt who is a nun. On the other hand, my paternal grandmother had two children; one of them is my father.

Although some things I have inherit of my father but I bear a striking resemblance to my mother. She has a youthful appearance, slender waist, wide eyebrows and dark-skinned. She is very responsible and hard-working. Physically I look like to my mother, even we seem sisters. Moreover, personally we are similar in a way although sometimes I fight with her. I am proud to be like her.

In spite of some problems, my family is stable and we are very united. It is true that I feel better with my maternal family, I do not know why, but maybe my personality is more similar to my maternal family and for this reason I feel better with them. It is strange because I live in a flat with my paternal family, for these reason I saw my parental grandparents more frequently, although unfortunately both died.

Finally, I am not only child, I have a sister, but we do not seem sisters because we are very different, she takes after my father. She is younger than me. I always fall out with my sister, fortunatelly, I live in Murcia now, and I go to Caravaca only weekends but when we are together we are fighting. I love her but she is unbearable.

Venice

Venice, which is a city in Italy, is the best place that I have visited, although each place of Italy, for me is beautiful, interesting and special. I went to Italy with my classmates, but I think that we watched a lot of places in a short time, for this, I couldn´t appreciated it as well as I would have liked. So, I have to repeat in other occasion, spend holidays in Italy, for example. Firstly, we arrived to Venice in vaporetto, and then we had free-time for walking around Venice during two hours. This was so extremely striking, because you can see the water in the doors of the houses or a boat ambulance, really breathtaking scenery. Later, when the class was together, we went across Venice in Gondola, this was the best experience. I can´t explain how I felt at that time. When anyone goes in Gondola have a terrific view of Venice. Unfortunately, many people that don´t appreciate the place or simply rude, damp rubbish in the water… But, Venice was the city that I most liked. I hope to return because, in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Gellack´s family

It was three o´clock in the morning when the phone rang. Unfortunately, nobody had heard from Gellack´s family for two weeks.

Andreas, who works in a plumber´s workshop, have not appeared. His boss, at first, was angry with him, but later started to worry about him. Anja, who is the mother, usually goes to the supermarket or goes out with her friends to the coffee shop, but nobody had heard from her. The children, Max and Anina, go to school all days, their classmates are very worry. Furthermore, Max plays in a famous basketball team; he is an important member for this team. The Gellack´s family is very well-known in the city. Everybody is shocked.

One day, at three o´clock, the phone rang, it was Anja. She seemed happy. During two weeks the Gellack´s family had been in Disneyland Paris. Nobody knew anything about this trip. Even, the family had decided to leave their mobiles in the house for cutting themselves off. This was a story to remember.

Michael story...

Michael closed the door and knew at the moment he had made a mistake. He forgot his keys inside. Michael´s brother lives in Benidorm. For this reason, his parents usually decide to go to the beach to visit him. Michael does not like the beach, so he decided stayed at home. Obviously, he prefers to go out with his friends. Before to go, his mother had warned him that he had to be careful with fire and bell. Firstly, he started to see his favorite film with popcorns, of course. When he finished it, he turned on his play station to play “Call of Duty” everything was perfect. Afterwards, he prepared himself to go out with his friends. He was wearing a black sweat shirt, and his read new jeans. Michael was really handsome. Finally, he put on his favorite cologne and was ready to leave. When he closed the door, he remembered that his keys were inside. Unfortunately, he was alone, because his parents were on the beach. During a week, he was living with his best friend, until his parents returned. He had made a big mistake. He will never forget his keys never ever. 

Is it better to have the exams before or after Christmas?

On the one hand, since we start the school year, teachers start to give us all subjects of a course, and then start all exams. In many cases the students have an exam of English on Monday and in the same week other exam of Science on Thursday. In the next week, they follow having more and more exams. Furthermore teachers follow explaining more and more subjects. It is a completely madness for me, but when the Christmas arrive, the students that have passed their exams could have a good Christmas.

However, this year in the University, the students of English Studies have their exams after Christmas during January. On the one hand, it is better because during this month, they only have five days with exams, but the rest of days they do not have to go to University, like this, they can study better. But, on the other hand, they have to pass all Christmas worried and studying a lot to pass their exams. And it is a crap!  

I do not know what could be the solution, or maybe yes, but for the students doing exams is always a problem. The case is complaining about everything. But, the reality is that if the students have the exams before Christmas, they will have exams all weeks and they will have to go to the school at the same time. Although they could enjoy in Christmas. But, if the students have the exams after Christmas, they will have to study during their holidays. To conclude, willy-nilly the students have to do exams when our teachers want, because doing exams is a good tool to evaluate us, although the students are harmed.
