Essay

Have you ever wondered what would happen if music did not exist? Can you imagine it? I think that probably some people would become crazy,because ‘’ Music is the Language of the Universe’’.Everybody listen to music; some people listen pop, other people rock…some of us listen it once in a while and others all days, but everyboady in one way or another, need music.

Nowadays the influence of music is incredible, so many guys and girls are able to do almost anything only for his/her idol,for instance, It was not long ago I read on internet that a girl committed suicide because she said that she would never meet ‘’Justin Bieber’’ the Young Canadian idol. Do not you think that things like this are incredible? Probably,embarrassing. But this  is not the only example,actually,the suicides for this reason are a reality and there are  so many people who think that if they never going to meet their idol, then, their life is meaningles. An incredible thought.

Afortunally,music has more things good than bad; Music can make you feel Emotion,I am sure you can remember a moment where a song has made you particularly sad or very excited and happy, music can be a good way to relax and when you’re sad music can help you too : you can listen to a song which you can feel identificated .Even animals can understand music to a certain degree, for instance, Birds,and Whales.


The development of music is a fact, everyday the influence of music is increasing more and more, we should be conscious that music can help you and make you feel better but it can become a obsession,and the obsessions is never good for us,  so we have to be careful with the disadvantages of this process,You can admire a singer, a type of music, you can think that music is magical and touching, but you must always have a limit.

Everyone can feel nervios or anxious time to time,for instance, when going through financial difficulty,when we have a difficult situation,when speaking in public...so anxiety is a normal human emotion that everybody experiences at times. But the problem starts when anxiety becomes something frequent in people's life. I had anxiety two years ago and it was very difficult to me,for example: once in a while,when I had to do any exam I couldn't sleept at night,I began to tremble and sometimes I couldn't even breath. What can you do when anxiety impedes you to live normally? What is the solution? 

The firts thing that people usually think is: '' I can controle it by my own'', and yes, this is a possible solution.The mental control can be a possibility: you can try to isolated thinking about other things, y try to breath more slowly and keep calm. From my view point it can be a good idea when your attacks aren't strong enough, but when worry and fear are constant and overwhelming one person should consider other alternatives.

Panic disorder,problems sleeping,Heart palpitations,feelings fear and uneasiness... what are you supposed to do when you have an inability to be still and calm? And what happen if you can't controle it? Other solution to this can be ''natural remedies'',There are many safe nondrug remedies for anxiety: chamomile or green tea might help calm you down,and also 
some herbal supplements reduce anxiety without making you sleepy like valerian and lemon balm.Unfortunately,If you anxiety starts to be more hard, theses remedies can't be enough.


Probably the last solution would be drugs:orfidal,diacepan... all theses pills are very effective but you can become dependent, imagine that you can't sleep without medicaments, that you can't be fine and relax without them, it would be a problem but some people have no choice so they have to  run the risk.


Lastly,to conclude, It's noteworthy to mention that often you can't control your own thinking,namely, you can't fight against your mind,for this reason I consider that anxiety is a very difficult problem and usually it can determine our lifes.

Halloween!

Hi everybody! I’m going to talk about Halloween. As everyone know, Halloween is one of the world’s oldest holidays(about 2.000 years more or less) however,nowdays it is celebrated by more people in more countries than ever before, All Hallows' Eve is a celebration to take place in a number of countries on 31 October, the day before of ‘’All Saints' Day’’

This event has not always been called ‘’halloween’’ This name is a contracted form of "All Hallows Eve’’" eventually, it became abbreviated to  "Hallowe'en" and then "Halloween."

Aforetime,Halloween usted to be celebreted in english countries, in Spain some people hadn’t hear talk about it,nonetheless now it become something popular and you can see all types of halloween decorations in some houses,costumes… we also can see so many movies about Halloween, (these movies are an American horror franchise that consists of the character of Michael Myers who was committed to a sanitarium for the murder of his elder sister) So,we can say that this tradition has became something normal in almost all contries.

By the other hand,we also can mention some typical Halloween activities, as an example: trick-or-treating,parties,decorate pumpkins(it became a very popular Halloween decoration a few hundred years ago) ,watching all types of horror films and make costumes: it is the time for little kidsto take to the streets asking for sweets and scaring one another person.

To finish we can talk about the origins of Halloween: Halloween’s origins date back  2,000 years ago, at the time of the Celts: they celebrated their new year on November 1, this day announced the end of the summer and the beggining of the cold Winter. Celts believed that on 31th October ghosts of the dead returned to earth: this night was associated with the horror and the human death and During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, made offerings… so, halloween is much more than just a time of celebretions and supertitions; in fact, this tradition has a rich and interesting history.

Electronic devices

The increase of electronic devices is a fact nowdays. The history of communication has changed and Now we prefer to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our activities, these are our preferences .For this reason we left behind all types of archaic media:we almost forget about letters (which have been replaced by e-mails),calls(which we have changed for Whatssap) and there are some people that not even talk with their Friends face to face. Can we define these effects like something normal or Have we lost our minds?

As far as I’m concerned the most types of electronic devides 
shouldn’t be consider like somenthing dangerous but If we 
lives trapped in electronic devides we can risk becoming 
dependent, and in this point is when the problems begins. 
One person needs to interact with other people, build social 
skills, meet and talk to new friends, and from my viewpoint
 it depends by ourselves: we should be consequential: we 
decide what to do and how to do it.

 We told about The disadvantages of using electronic devices too much and lastly,to conclude I would like to highligh the importance of these new communication methods,namely, the advantages of technologies. Thanks to them we can talk easily with anyone, and we can also know all types of news by internet. The electronic devices can be used to record, transmit, receive, photograph,learn… its efectiveness is amazing, and  it worth keeping them.

Exachange bars

Hi everyone! How are you? I’m going to talk about ‘’exchange bars’’ I know that some of you don’t know what is it, well, I will try to explain this clearly. The Exchange bars are a type of locals where you can speak english with an english person, so you can practice and improve that language,and this person can talk spanish with you, so he/she can learn our language
 For example, If one afternoon you’re borring and you don’t know what can you do, you should trust this new experience! You can go to one of these places,sit there and them,you only have to wait until one english person sit next to you.After,you can start to talk, firt in english and after in spanish (or as you want).

Now I’m going to talk about my own experience:my boyfriend told me about this, and this weekend I’ve wanted to trust it, so in my city there is one exchange bar and I decided to go. When I arrived I found so many people talking on the tables and I though: ‘’This can be interesting!’’ them the waiter put me one tag with the spanish flag and I sat down on the chairs. After a while, one boy sat next to me, he told me his name and asked me If i wanted to start speaking english, I answererd: ‘’off course’’, so we started,.

I have to admit that at the beggining I was afraid because I didn’t know if I could understand him clearly,but I can speak with him and he was so funny! We talked in english half an hour, he told me about his family,his country ( he lives in a small village in America, I don’t remember the name) and them we talked in spanish,I have to say that he couldn’t speak spanish very well, but I undertand him because I know that my language is very difficult: the verbs tenses, the pronunciation) all those things are complicated for a native english person so I tried to help him, I always correted the mistakes,gave him good tips and we had a good time together! Probably this weekend I will go again!


Here, in Murcia there are so many exchange bars and you can go there, It is a good oportunity to learn english while you are enjoying and you can meet new people and who knows? Maybe new Friends.

Beautiful Places in the World



Hi everyone! I'm going to talk about one of my hobbies: travelling. I love to see new places and new contries.In the future, I want to go to England,New York (to improve my english), France…but there is one place that I’ve always wanted to visit: Maya Bay,Thailand. Maya Bay is a amazing beautiful bay, Inside the bay there are several beaches with clear blue water, most are small and some only exist at low tide, underwater you can enjoy with colourful coral and exotic fish. Maya bay is a stunning place with beautiful scenery and terrific views. Nowdays it is considerated almost a symbol of thailand.

Unfortunally, this place has became a tourist attraction and now people around the world want to see Maya bay, especially on summer. So I think that The best time to visit Maya Bay is between October and May when seas are calm and you can access to the bay easily. I would like to go and stay there all alone ,well, probably only with my family and Friends, It would be perfect but the reality is that there are many people in Maya bay every day.


Another amazing place that I’ve seen is Rome, on the study tour. Rome is the capital of Italy and for me, one of the best destination around the world, estremely striking. Rome's history spans more than two and a half thousand years, and now this beutiful place has become very famose and one of the most popular tourist destinations among travelers. The biggest part of the city reminds you the roman empire with all types of wonderful monuments and open spaces. It’s a special destination not to be missed.
