 That day of September, Jess was walking back home from high school. She was joyful as it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate it with her family. She arrived home, opened the door, and found no one was at home. She was confused. Her family was supposed to be waiting for her but the only thing she discovered was a bloody letter. Unfortunately, there was no information but the letter she had discovered. What was going to be a wonderful day, turned out to be a complete nightmare. She didn’t want to read the letter but the only time her parents would leave her alone at home was for Christmas shopping. She didn’t understand what was happening this time. Jess was so excited about her birthday but all happiness faded as soon as she read the message.  Suddenly, when she was about to read the letter, out of nowhere, Matt, her best friend, came from his hiding spot and tried to stab her with a knife. She shouted: “That snake!” Luckily for her, the three years of karate paid off...

 From my point of view, there is a part of the brain that is only triggered and developed when you live with a domestic animal. It is a feeling that can not be explained but it makes you have a soft spot for all kinds of animals. Whether it is a goat, a sheep, a cat, a dog you will try to take care of them and not let anyone hurt them. Living with an animal will change completely your view of life. What kind of animals should be allowed to live in houses? It is a really touchy issue since depending on who you ask these questions there will be lots of different answers. Animal defenders will claim animals should not be trapped in houses and, in case they are, they should have an enormous place to wander around so that they do not feel trapped in a place. Unfortunately, other people will say it should not care about what the animals might be feeling. So, if you do not feel like feeding them, they do not. It is heartbreaking seeing how so many people treat animals in certain ways. Fi...

 Music is an incredible gift we have gotten to exploit and enjoy. It is not difficult to delight ourselves while listening to beautiful melodies. Needless to say, it has a healing effect where we have headaches or when we are feeling down but, are we willing to listen to music we originally do not like for our sake? Nowadays, types of music is a much debate topic in our society. If you listen to reggaeton, you are illiterate. If you know bands from years ago, you are up to scratch to talk to them. It is a nonsense defining people for their musical taste. Whether you like Green Day or Maluma, you are as much worthy as others. Unfortunately, this way of thinking is something that has to sink in in people’s minds. Many people do not understand how insignificant it is not hanging out with a person just because you don’t share the share likes.                            Apart from the judgment, it is undeniable that ...

 In this post, I will be showing examples of three techniques to help you organize your writing. The chosen topic is semi-bilingual parents. 1. Freewriting The text I have written is related to the topic but I have just written it without stopping to think. Maybe some ideas are not relevant and maybe others are. That is why I have underlined some sentences, to stand out those that I consider relevant to include in my writing.  Semibilingual parents are not something that we usually hear here in Spain. That is because there are not many people who actually know how to speak more than one language fluently or, in case one of them knows how to speak two languages, they won’t teach the children just for the fact that that thought doesn’t cross their mind. Maybe they don’t feel prepared or as it is not encouraged in Spain to do so they don’t think about it. Not only have they have to think in themselves but also in the child they are going to have. They have to consider all poss...

Semi-bilingual parents is a much debated issue in today’s society. Teaching their children languages since birth will have advantages and disadvantages. For this reason, some points will be shown in this essay to prove whether parents should instill in their kids the love for languages. To begin with, as you are making your offspring learn different topics, he will have an easier time picking things up in school and it will be an incredible upside in the future in case he decides to learn another language because of the fact that his brain has adapted to learning new things and it has developed in a different way than monolingual kids. Moreover, in case he decides to learn a third language, when being hired by an enterprise, employers will be amazed at how prepared he is and he will be a good addition to any corporation.  On the contrary, parents have a complicated task ahead of them. Both should plan beforehand how they are going to teach their kid two languages. They might give f...

Making friends during Covid-19 is, without a doubt, an extremely complex thing to do. All social interaction we could have had, now is nonexistent due to the current situation. So, a question arises:  How are we going to meet people if we don’t see each other face to face? First of all, we have to analyze what kind of person we are. It is quite easy to discover if you are an extrovert, an introvert, or, by contrast, an ambivert. This last concept is something I stumbled across when reading a couple of months ago and I consider this word to be the best explanation for some personality traits people have. It means you like hanging around people, like an outgoing person, but, in comparison to them, an ambivert gets mentally drain if spent too much time with people. Moreover, if they are alone for a really long period of time, they will get bored, not like introverts. Therefore, an ambivert is a mixture between an extrovert and an introvert.

 When writing, it is important to have some steps to follow in order to do a flawless composition. These are the instructions to follow and each one has a sentence summarizing what they consist of.  Steps:  1. Pre-writing: you have to think, plan, and organize the ideas of what you are going to write.  2. Drafting: develop the ideas you had planned beforehand. 3. Reviewing and revising: check, with or without the help of someone, if what you have written fits the topic. 4. Rewriting: check once again the text, look for, and correct mistakes you may have skipped, and give the final details. 

What exactly is realfooding? It is a movement created by Carlos Ríos, nutritionist and lifestyle advisor, that consists of basing your diet on healthy food. It has nothing to do with vegetarianism or with being vegan but it has some similarities when it comes to what to eat. Its principle is consuming food that has not been ultra-processed or that has only been processed with non-damaging preservatives. Needless to say, it is recommended not to eat junk food or eating it only three times per month so that its effects do not have negative consequences on our immune system.  How do we distinguish what is ultra-processed from what is not? Fortunately, we have different methods to achieve our goal. One way to do it is by the app Carlos Ríos and his team invented. It directly tells you whether a food is ultra-processed, processed, or if it is completely healthy. In the app, there are several sections in which they tell you why it is that kind of food: if it shows you it is ultra-process...
