TASK#12 (Blog&Sound File)

TITLE: Becoming a vegetarian? 
DEADLINE: 11 May at 24.00

INSTRUCTIONS: 

As you know, millions of people are vegetarian. They are convinced that a vegetarian diet is good for them and for the environment.

Would you consider becoming a vegetarian?

Think of what you would gain and what you would have to give up. Do you think your health would be better? Would it mean having to spend more money? Would your social life suffer? 

Think of the ethical side of it: being a vegetarian means not contributing to the killing of animals for food? Would that be important for you? 

And there's also an environmental side to it: millions of square kilometres are used for animals to graze (specially cows). This enormous extension would be more productive if crops were planted to feed people not animal. Think of the enormous amount of methane (a green house gas much more powerful than carbon dioxide) produced by hundreds of millions of cows, etc.

WRITE a text commenting on it all. PLEASE, answer the question in as much detail as possible: 

Would you consider becoming a vegetarian?

Make sure your essay has in introduction , the reasons you will be using and their explanation and your conclusion. 

...............................................................     .  ..

First of all, you have to give up some kind of meals, that I'm sure they are part of your everyday-diet, as meat for example. 

It is true that your body will thank you for this but sometimes it can react in a bad way.  Some people can't stop eating because their organism need some meals to continue their lifes and if they stop eating them, they develop several infections.

 On the other hand, money is also a really important factor; not every supermarket sells vegetarian products, it is more dificult to find vegetarian products and when you find it yoy will discover that they are more expensive than normal products.

These are for me the advantages of being  vegetarian but there are also some disadvantages but in my case, I am going to continue with my normal diet because I love meat. In the future I will may change my opinion because it is true a vegetarian life is better for our health. 

TASK#8

                                            WHAT SHOULD I DO   vs    WHAT I DID.

marzo 18, 2018

This weekend I had to take a decision between sleeping at a friend's house or sleeping in my house. I had a hard time taking that decision because although it seems silly, I did not really know what to do.

On the one hand I wanted to stay because my friend was going on a trip and he was going to be away for a week and other classmates also stayed to sleep. It was a kind of "pyjama party".

But on the other hand I did not want to stay because I knew that we were going to sleep very late and next morning I was going to be very tired to go home. Also, that week I had a very important History test and I did not want to waste a time to study. 

Finally, after I have thought it too much, my friends convinced me to stay and that is what I did. I stayed to sleep and the next day I went home around 11 o'clock in the morning. I was a little bit tired but I started to study and then I could sleep a little nap

Task #7

TASK#7 (Blog&Sound File)

TITLE:  Dear Virginia. (Do the Three Kings really exist ?) 
DEADLINE: 12 January 2018 at 24.00
INSTRUCTIONS: 

Virginia, who is 7,  has been told by her classmates that the 3 Kings don't exist and that people (parents, granparents, big brothers, sisters and other relations) are the ones who bring the presents and pretend it was done by the 3 Kings.
She is asking to be told the truth.
What would be your reply.

PLEASE, WRITE a text explaining your reply.

MAKE SURE your reply contains, at least, 120 words.
MAKE A RECORDING of the text and send it to my address:

PLEASE, change the title to :    2BAnamesurnametask#7


................................................................


If I found myself in that difficult position, before telling Virginia anything, I would ask her the following question: What do you think about the Three Wise Men? Do you think they are as magical as people say?

 I think, on the one hand, it would be good to tell her the truth because in this way she would "mature" in some way. 
But the truth is that I would prefer not to say anything because it would take away the illusion of the night that Three Wise Men arrived. I think that the most beautiful thing of that day is the illusions of the children and the fact that three men are able to give them so much happiness in a single period of time, so I wouldn't tell her anything. In this way, she would continue having hope for many more years. 

I personally think that nobody must tell the truth to a little boy or girl because how do you say to a child that the Three Wise Men don't exist? If you do, you will break their hearts for ever.
