I believe that poeple don't respect the world whee we live because we only look tink about ourselves. Because of it we are polluting the earth.

The great majority of people pollute the world with industries that make the air polluted. In addition everybody pollutes when they drive a car. Because of it we have t control pollution because it's really very dangerous for themselves.

I think that qw have to stop this now or in the future we will havemore problems.
In conclusion I believe that we have to stop this because it can be more dangerous and we are destroying the erth that is the only place where we can live.

We often can see famous poeple on tv but to be a famouspoeple has more advantages and desadvantages.

On the one hand, the famous poeple are very rich and they din't have problems with money. They arealso important poeple and we respecct them. On the other hand, they meet poeple who they don't know and this is a nuisance. Also of tey do something that appears on tv and they have more problems.

In my opinion, I believe that it is better not to be famous person and I am like who I am and I would prefer not to be famous

Dear Mrs,

I am writing to give my opinion of our secundary school, IES Castelló d?empúries, because I have been in this school for four years and I tell you that it seems for my because thus you can have an idea about what your students think about your school.

In my oppinion this school isn't big enough fot there are too many poeple tohugI know your can do nothing about it. On the one hand, I agree wiht other people when they say that his secundary school looks loke a prision because It doesn't have any colour, only graey and this gives a serious look and I believe that this has a negative effect on good marks in all the subjects and this gives iinsecurity and more students adopt a pessimistic attitude.

I believe that when poeple say this and your should do something about it. This is all that I would like to say so that the secundary school improves.

Yours faithfully,

David Marín

In the past they didn't have rules that protect students and the teacher did phisical punishments.

Now if any teacher touch any student this teacher will have problems. Today the teacher punish studentes in a different way. My oen opinion is that this punishments are corrects. On the one hand, some studentes merit the phisical punishments. On the other hand this punishmentsis well and I wouldn't change anything. Some poeple would argue that at the moment is ok but others would change the punishments.

This topic is very sensible because it depend on people but I won't change anything although the teachers aren't stricts like before. I won't put stricts rules now.

I am David Marín and I have a problem in blog the firstbatxillerat. I can't put my coment in the fashion victim and you sent here for that you can see that I do it.

Hello!
In my opinion is that I'm not fashion victim, I prefer wear comfortable clothes but I have friends that they fashion victims and they never wear comfortable clothes. They are opposite than me for example in this year, more classmate are fashion victim. I wear clothes fashion less times. I am not fashion victim neither because fashion clothes it's more expansive and uncomfortable.
Finally , I don't worry about that they say because I like clothes that I wear and also it's comfortable. I think that the people who are fashion victims they are silly because they worry about that people say of them .

Thirteen vs Adrian Mole

2008-11-29T15:16:00.000-08:00

Thirteen, the film explain live adolescent. At first she was a good girl with good marksa good person, simpatic and friendly but when she went to secundary schooland started went to around Evie she changed. She when began secundary school steals, to take drugs, alcohol and she is silly because she cares about be popular.
Tracy is the same age as Adrian but Adrian is a normal person. Adrian have a live adolescent normal but I like more Thirteen because is very entertaining and it was very funny but Adrian it's not funny because nothing happens expectacular him.
These are different cases of adolescence:
Adrian have bulling problems at school,with Berry Kent, who hits him.
Tracy with Evie and the other boys and girls.
Divorced parents and their parents have new boyfriends or girlfriends. This it's similar with Tracy.
Adrian and Tracy don’t have a really good friend.

I think that Adrian live is a normal that has problems at home but Tracy is more shocking because her life changes a lot but I like it Thirteen than Adrian.
