FOURTH QUALITY COMMENT 2020
BILINGUALISM, FAKE NEWS...ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD.
Nowadays, more and more people in the world speak more than one language. A lot of people think that being bilingual could have an enormous variety of benefits.
On the one hand, people who speak more than one language think differently. Sometimes their brains work in multiple tongues and they generally find it easier to learn different languages than other people. In addition, experts have found some health benefits such as delayed onset of dementia.
On the other hand, languages have changed over time and they have been used since ancient times. They used them to communicate with other people, for business or travels. Currently, scientists say that people who speak several languages are developing a high ability to solve math problems.
To sum up, learning languages have a lot of benefits for people who speak them. In my opinion, languages are very important to communicate with people from anywhere in the world.

WHAT DO WINTER RAINY DAYS MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE?
It is clear that feelings play an important role in our lives. Many of our moods are related with the weather. But, is it good? Or harmful for our mental health?
In many countries where the sky is almost always grey and the days are sad, it´s very common for people to have seasonal affective disorder. This problem is basically a disorder in which people have to deal with several emotions and behavior problems related to the seasons.
Lack of light can be a problem for many people. Not only in countries where the weather is always bad, but also in seasons like winter, where the days are very short. However, there are many ways to combat winter sadness. For example, go for a morning walk, do exercise or improve your diet.
In conclusion,seasonal affective disorders appear when the weather is bad. However, it is not bad for our mental health if we know how to control them.

WEARABLES TO HELP AND SAVE PATIENTS.
Nowadays, technology allows us have fast access to the information, communicate with people from a long distance and even makes our life easier and more comfortable. Thanks to technology, some inventors have created wearable tech to improve the life of stroke patients or with other diseases related with the brain.
Sensors are placed on the body to find out which muscles are working properly and which are not. In this way, the sensors can identify the affected areas to make therapies that help improve those problems. Moreover, sensors are able to send information to doctors continuously. In fact, this new technology is very comfortable because they allow doctors to learn about what patients are doing from their houses.
Just as sensors help stroke patients, experts have developed a T-shirt that epilepsy patients can wear at home. This shirt can send information to a mobile phone application and record the brain´s electronic activity. This way, doctors find it easier to have a diagnosis in a matter of days.
To sum up, technology can improve our lives and make us feel comfortable, especially in patients with diseases related with the brain.

CORONAVIRUS: CRITICAL GLOBAL ISSUE TO TACKLE!
At present, Spain, Italy and many other countries are suffering from the consequences of a virus that first appeared in China. It is commonly called coronavirus, but its scientific name is Covid-19.
Covid-19 is a virus very similar to the common flu, but much more dangerous because of its high propagation. We know that the virus is transmitted from person to person through the airways and its most common symptoms are fever,dry cough and the lack of oxygen, although these symptoms may change depending on the person. The symptoms can go from mild to strict and in many cases cause pneumonia.
As the statistics show, the elders belong to the population group with the highest risk of coronavirus. On the contrary, teenagers and children seem less likely to become seriously ill. Moreover, people with pathological diseases can get sick quickly.
To end,the government has introduced a series of preventive measures to avoid the propagation of coronavirus. All people must stay at home for a long time. In my opinion, the best we can do is stay at home and try to wash our hands all the time and to avoid touching our faces. We can stop this virus together!!

AN OPINION ESSAY
Boot camps are places where people go to prepare physically and to train very hard. Sometimes they are sent there because they behave badly or to try to change their basic routines. Personally, I think boot camps are a good idea for people who has low self-esteem and want to find a motivation.
Teenagers especially sometimes start to have bad behaviors and they leave school very soon. So, the only solution their parents find is to send them to boot camps. There, they prepare them physically and mentally.
At first, people find the training very difficult when they arrived. This is probably normal because they are not used to doing this type of exercises. But they strive everyday. As a result, they improve their self-esteem.
In my opinion, boot camps are a good idea for people who are more or less physically prepared because they are very hard workouts.

"COFFEE AND PLASTIC, AGAIN THE KEY?"
Coffee is a drink with caffeine that many people drink for pleasure or as a remedy to try to be awake during work. Many of them think that coffee could help them lose weight. Is this real or is it a false myth?
Nowadays,it is very common to see a person with a cup of coffee in his/her hand going to work or people who meet in a coffee shop to take a coffee while they are talking about something. Due to the high concentration of caffeine it is a drink that causes addiction in many people.
Many scientists say that drinking coffee could activate the body´s fat-fighting defenses. This is a discovery that could bring solution to diseases such as obesity and diabetes. However, although drinking coffee can help remove body fat, it is still unknown the reason that cause it.
To sum up, it is not sage to drink coffee if you want to lose weight. In my opinion, coffee is good if you drink just the necessary amount because it has a lot of caffeine,which is bad for our health.

"PAU GASOL SAYS SPANISH TEENS ARE NOT FIT ENOUGH"
Obesity is a disease that involves having an excessive amount of body fat. It is very common today in child and teenagers between the ages of 7 and 15. But what are the causes and effects?
Obesity is not produced just for the fact of eating a lot of food. Many experts say that teenagers have been getting fatter because they have been exercising less, not because they have been eating more. Moreover, many children spend most of the day lying in the sofa close to the television or mobile phone.
On the other hand, obesity has very serious effects. It can increase the risk of diseases and health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes or certain types of cancer. However, there are some solutions for this issue. For example, the restricted marketing of unhealthy foods for children and policies to increase physical activity at schools.
All in all, obesity is a big problem that many teenagers suffer and it can have very serious health problems for the human body, so in my opinion the best thing is try to eat a balanced diet and do exercise regularly.

"TALKING ABOUT TOURISM, ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD"
More and more people travel to Spain or to any part of the world either for work or pleasure. Everywhere we go we can see people around us. But, is tourism something good? Or is it maybe harmful?
On the one hand, if there is tourism, there will be more open businesses and more workers will be needed. Moreover, when a country is beautiful and there are tourists everywhere, people from other countries want to travel to these countries.
On the other hand, tourism makes prices rise a lot. Like in supermarkets, restaurants, shops or hotels. In addition, most tourists who come to a country bring mobile phones or cameras and, when they visit a place, they are not so interested in sightseeing or having a look at the landscape but in taking a picture. This can be dangerous because they do not pay attention to what they are doing and they can have an accident.
In conclusion, tourism is good for the development of many countries. Nevertheless, I think tourists should be careful when they take a picture.

PLASTIC, THE BIGGEST THREAT FOR OUR SEAS.
Plastic is very common material today. People all over the world use plastic every day, in bottles,bags wrappings, clothes and many others objects that we use in our day to day. But why is it so important to be concerned of the use of plastic?
Some of this plastic is recycled but many others end in the sea or the ocean floating on the surface. Many scientists say that Mediterranean Sea is a great accumulation zone of plastic debris. But marine plastic pollution is a problem that is spreading across other oceans like Atlantic or Pacific.
The plastic is a long-lasting, so we can find plastic in every corner of the planet. Once plastic objects reach the sea, they can be ingested by marine fauna and accumulate inside, they can float on the surface or they can sink to the bottom of the sea. The plastic gets broken into smaller pieces generating the microplastics.
To sum up, plastic is a very used material in our everyday life,so we find it everywhere. However it can be very dangerous if we do not recycle it correctly. So, in my opinion we should reduce the use of plastic and to take care of our planet.

IS TELEVISION HELPFUL OR HARMFUL FOR OUR SOCIETY?
As we know, television is one of the most used inventions today. Most people have a television at home. But it´s important to know that television could have some positives and negatives aspects and how it can influence in the development of our brain.
On the one hand, television has an enormous variety of programs that can be entertaining and with which you can learn many things such as documentaries and cooking programs. Moreover, television allows us to be informed about the events that happen around the world and even know what´s the weather in any part of the world. This is a privilege today, since years ago we could not know.
On the other hand, as I said before, television gives us many programs that can be entertaining, however, there are many other "garbage programs" that all they do is damage our brain. Many studies show that more and more young children spend more time watching television than any other activity. Surely if you went to a restaurant, you would see mothers who entertain their children with cartoons on a screen.
All in all, televisions can be good for keeping us informed about the events that happen in the world. Nevertheless, we should be careful about how many hours our children and us spend in front of a screen because it can be very bad for the development of our brain.
