TELLING A STORY

WR18

Hi Elisa,
How are you? I want to tell you something that happened to me last summer.

It was saturday evening. I was alone at home because my parents had gone out to celebrate their anniversary. I had something light for dinner and I went to bed. I slept in a few minutes. I was sleeping when suddenly I heard a strange noise that woke me up. I went to see who it was, but, there wasn´t anybody. Then again I heard another strange noise. I went downstairs, and I could see a man who was carrying a bag with jewels, but I couldn´t see his face because he was wearing a black mask. He was a thief!
Eventually, I called the police and I told them what had happened. If the police hadn´t come on time, the thief would have run away.

It was a horrible story! but how about you? Have you ever experimented a similar story?
Lucía.

-It´s my mum´s birthday and I´m thinking of organising a party. I need your help!
-Of curse, count on me.
-How can I help you?
-Would you make a music list for me?
-Ok, can I use your computer, please?
-Yes, no problem.
-And what about snacks and drinks?
-That´s a good idea.
-Shall I ask some pizzas and drinks for you?
-Yes please. That would be very kind of you.
-And to finish, would you mind if I invited some friends?
-No, in fact it is a good idea.
-Thank you. I´ll see you in the party.

HE IS HAPPY, SHE IS HAPPY, WE ARE ALL HAPPY

FIFTH QUALITY COMMENT

There are different ways to be happy. Happiness is something subjective and each person has a way of being happy. But, what is the true secret of happiness? Is hapiness linked to longer life?

Happiness is a positive feeling that is in our mind. But, each person has a way to express it. Some are happy with money and others with family and friends. Nevertheless, there are lots of ways to be happy. For example, you can have breakfast at different cafés bars once a month, do an excursion, have time with friends or simply smile when you need.

Being happy improves the quality of your life and can also make it last longer. Moreover, happiness reduces your stress levels, and some scientists say that trying to be happy has direct benefits in health. Nevertheless there are many people who have very good reasons to not be happy due to family problems.

In conclusion, being happy is just a matter of choice and minimal effort. So, the power is on yourself, and you have the opportunity to change that.

ANY BROKEN-DOWN OR WORN-OUT ITEMS?

Nowadays speaking english can be so important as being able to speak your own mother tongue. English is one of the most spoken languages in the world and most of our schools are bilingual. But, what are the pro´s and con´s of learning two or more languages?

On the one hand, bilingual or multilingual children have the ability to dominate the languages at a very high level. Moreover, they are capable to pass information from one language to another in a easy way. Another advantage is that these children, who learn two or more languages in their childhood, have more oportunities to get a job, especially in other countries.

On the other hand, children that practise a multilingual education take the risk of not reaching a good level in any of the languages. In additon, the children who grow with two or more languages suffer physical problems, pronunciation problems or gramatical problems. Nevertheless, these problems can be difficult to correct, and sometimes therapeutic help is needed.

In conclusion I think learning English and in general other languages is very important because they will help us to find a good job in the future.

SHALL WE EAT? YES, BUT....

There are so many people nowadays who have allergies to some kinds of food or intolerance. This could be a problem if you want to eat out, so, it´s important to be careful with what we eat.

It´s very common to have allergies in some foods like peanuts, eggs, or cow milk, especially in childhood. Some experts say that food allergy is on the rise, but, there is not a single reason. It could be because our diet has changed in the lastest years, or simply it is due to the lack of vitamin D or the pollution.

Moreover, if you introduce something much earlier into the diet, you will be less likely to become allergic to it. That´s why doctors say that is very important not to delay the introduction of allergenic foods such as peanuts and egg.

Allergic foods are not the main reason of dead in people who suffer from any kind of allergic, but it is really risky.

In my opinion, we should be careful with what we eat and check everything before you order your food.

you´ve got a friend in me

It´s very important to have a friend that you can trust and tell you how you feel, but, sometimes it is difficult to find a real friend. What is it like to live without any friends? What can we do about?

On the one hand, making friends nowadays could be a problem for some people. Others find this easier. Many people suffer from isolation and depression for that, so, it´s very important to have time with your family and try to go out and do activities that can help you to find yourself and make friends.

On the other hand, there are many ways to solve this problem and communicate with people. Social networks are one option, but personally, I prefer face to face. Also, looking for a trip is a good idea to make friends and talk among you.

Not having friends is not all bad, you learn to trust on yourself. So, in my opinion, I prefer to be alone that in bad company.

To sum up, friends are very important in our lives, but we must choose the correct person and Know who are true friends or just a fake.
