Teenagers

Adolescence is a very complicated time. It´s a time of changes in which you find yourself. Also it´s a time in which you can choose your friends. Teenager´s society is divided in many groups: populars, nerds, rebels, bad boys, gothics, skaters, people who is invisible and the rest who is normal. Well, a teenager wants to fit in one of this groups but sometimes things slip through your fingers.

People do things that they´ve never done before like smoking and drinking even know that is unhealthy. Everything because they want to be cool and of course they want to be accepted by the rest. Seriously, I can´t understand what is the point. On my opinion, it´s not necessary to smoke or drink to fit in a stupid group. You have to be yourself and if the rest of your “ friends” don´t like it, then you´ll probably have to reconsider to find new friends.

Also it is not necessary to smoke or drink to have fun. You can go out with your friends to a pub and dance or just talk about your lifes. Of course you can drink but to some extent. Maybe you think that this way to have fun with friends is a little bit boring but honestly I prefer to remind what I did last night. 

Sports

I love sports, especially athletics. I used to practise athletics three days per week but one year ago I started my last year at Secondary School so now I practise it with less frequency than before but I can´t stop doing this sport because it´s like a way to forget all my problems during two hours. In fact, I met my best friend in the athletic track so this sport is very special for me.  Also I like doing others sports like football, handball, volley, badminton, basketball…

On the other hand, I like watching sports on TV, the Olympic Games are my favourite, last one, it was in London in 2012 and it was incredible, I loved it. Someday I would like to go to the Olympic Games.

 However, I´ve never tried any extreme or dangerous sports like bungee jumping because I´m scared of the rope is broken or something similar and I value my life.

Doing sports is healthy for your body and also for your mind. But I agree to some extent, I mean there are a lot of advantages of doing sports of course but also there are many disadvantages. Sport is a hobbie, you can practise it alone or with your friend wherever you want, or in some cases it is a way to life but it is not an obligation. Each person have their limits and you must to know where are yours and don’t exceed it because if you exceed your limits you probably could get injured for the rest of your life so don’t be obsessive.

Winning Prizes

Someday if I won the lottery, I would travel around the world because It’s my dream to know new countries and cultures. Also I would donate money for charity, so I´m not a greedy person. But in case I was rich, I was still working because I want to earn my own money, for that reason I´m studying a degree at University, I mean the fact of winning the lottery is just a stroke of luck.

On my opinion the main idea of being millionare is that you don´t have to worry about anything, I mean when you go shopping if you are rich you don´t have to look at the prize of any product because you can afford it. But honestly I don´t like people who think that they are better than the rest of the people just for being millionaire. You have to keep your feets in ground.

As a teenager, I think that winning the lottery is the answer to our problems because when you are young you have a lot of dreams and you want to comes it true. But I´ve said before winning the lottery is just a stroke of luck and the reality is that if you want something you have to work hard to pay for it.

My Future

I’m going to be honest, I have really no idea what I’m going to do after finish my Degree in English Studies. At the moment I’m more worried about pass all the exams and get my title than think about my future. Recently I have been talking about this with my parents and they said to me that I could be an English teacher but the problem is that I don´t really like the idea at all, I mean I love English but I think is boring to come to class, sit down in a chair and explain the same theory every year.

On the other hand, I love literature and history so if I was a teacher I would like to teach one of them. But also I love reading books and translate them from English to Spanish or viceversa so that is the reason why nowadays I´m seriously thinking about apply for a job in a publishing house.

However, before make a decision I would like to travel to England or Ireland as ERASMUS student to improve my English and if I liked the experience probably someday I could live there.  

Education Problems

Ineffective communication between parents and teachers can be a major obstacle when trying to solve problems with students, but fortunately it can be improved. Let's first examine the two major causes of communication dysfunction.

Teachers judge the parents of their students all the time. They judge them based on students' language, hygiene, dress and social skills. Parents judge teachers, too, based on comments from their children. "What did you learn in school today?" is usually followed by, "Nothing." Sometimes children accuse teachers of being unfair, picking on them, being prejudiced or a myriad of other questionable treatments.

So parents and teachers judge each other constantly, and the sources of their judgments are kids, often with a vested interest. Good kids want their parents and teachers to like each other. Troubled students want the opposite. Many children can, in their eyes, benefit from animosity between parents and teachers; and they play one against the other. This is a dysfunctional form of communication.

The second problem is called "dumping." When ineffective, frustrated or angry teachers call parents about their child, they tend to "dump" the problem in the parents' lap. They tell what offense the child committed, and state that the parent must do something about it. This is no more effective than a parent calling a teacher about a problem at home and asking the teacher to fix it. Parents dumping on teachers is also common. They claim the teacher is responsible for a child's bad grades, bad behavior or bad attitude. They demand that the teacher must change. Parent dumping is growing, reaching dangerously high levels with less respect and belief in the professionalism of the teacher. When parents and teachers blame each other and make unreasonable demands, the one who suffers the most is the child. Blame creates no winners and lots of losers.

Parents and teachers have the same goal, and therein lies the remedy for these problems. Both want the best for the student. Removing the child from parent/teacher communication process can alleviate much of the communication dysfunction. I don't mean that children should be left out totally. There is certainly an important place for the child to be part of the process. But there is also a place for teachers and parents to build a relationship of their own. Both need to talk directly to each other.

Space Debris.

What would you do if you find a weird object near to your house? Well, this happens in Murcia a couple of days ago, one person found a mysterious black ball in the middle of a field and inmediatly called to the police. Locals suggest that the mysterious ball " fell from heaven". It is said that the object probably is part of a " space station" and maybe is dangerous for the environment.

There is a speculation that the orb could be container because expulses gasses  which are not good for the environment. Also it is said that the object could be radioactive. All these things have been warning to the Murcia goverment which put the area under quarantine and investigators are researching the object in case it is dangerous.

However this is not the first time that it is happens because a smilar object was found before  in Australia and Brazil.

To sum up, finally the mysterious ball was researched and experts concluded that the object is just a part of a satellite and the most imprtant thing is that it doesn´t cause any kind of environmental problems so we don´t have to worry about.
