DIALOGUE

DIALOGUE

Me: Hey, good to see you.

Friend: Yes, what’s up?

Me: I'm thinking about going shopping on Black Friday. How about going together?

Friend: Thank you for your invitation but I think this day only promotes consumerism.

Me: No way!! To my mind, I think that we can find a lot of sales. 

Friend: That’s not always true. They cheat you! They only want you to buy.
Really, there aren’t bargains.

Me: I see exactly what you mean but, you can’t think like this. 

Friend: Can you explain why do you say this? 

Me: Because, if you think like this, you’ll never have a good time.
Black Friday is a good day to go shopping and have fun not for thinking that promotes
consumerism. 

Friend: Forget it. It doesn’t matter. 

Me: Sorry. I shouldn’t  have said that like this.

Friend: It’s okay. Don’t worry. I want to go shopping with you but not this day. 

Me: I feel a little sad. I think that we should have a good day together and buy
a lot of things cheaper because, yes, we can find a lot of bargains. 

Friend: You should try to think differently!

Me: Forget it.

Friend: Okay… 

Me: They are calling me. Talk to you later!

Friend: Of course, see you later. 

Later….

Friend: Hi, I've been thinking about what you told me. I have to admit that you were right.
I want to go with you on Black Friday. 

Me: I adore you! You are the best. 

Friend: See you in the shopping centre?

Me: Of course, bye!!

Friend: Goodbye. 

LIVING AWAY FROM HOME OR NOT?

LIVING AWAY FROM HOME OR NOT?

We all grow up and the time comes when we have to go to niversity. Some people might say that it s better to live in a residence or a flat with other students while you are studying but is this true?

On the one hand, f you live in your home, you don’t have to pay the flat or the residence every month. In addition, if you stay at home, you can see  your family more and stay with them when you want. You will feel more and more comfortable because you will be in your own home.

On the other hand, if you live in a residence or in a flat, you will have more freedom and you will learn to mature since you will not have your mother to do everything for you and tell you what to do. Furthemore, i believe that if you live with other students that are learning the same as you, you can help each other.

In conclusion, it seems to me that the best option is to live in your house because the most important thing is your family and I think that we have to spend the time that we can with the people that we love. Moreover, university is very expensive and if you live in ANother place, you have to pay too.

DOES APPEARANCE INFLUENCE?

DOES APPEARANCE INFLUENCE?

When we meet somebody, the first that we see is the appearance and we can do an idea of how is this person is but, is this well done? In my opinion,  this is not a good idea because your appearance doesn’t define your personality or your character.

In my view, we can’t judge others by their physical appearance since what matters is the heart and not the way they look. Secondly, the appearance doesn’t influence your character but shows how you feel.

I believe that maybe the way you look reflects your tastes and your social status and obviously this isn’t a reason to judge somebody. Personally, I don't think we should do this because we wouldn’t like to be judged by our appearance.

In conclusion, as I see it, we shouldn’t judge others because we don’t know who is a person is until we meet her. As a consequence of doing it, we can only make people feel bad and I think that eerybodys different and this is what makes us unique.

SHOP ONLINE IS A GOOD IDEA?

SHOP ONLINE IS A GOOD IDEA?

Nowadays there are a lot of people in the world that shop online and some people might say that it is the best option and others might argue that going to stores is better but, who is right?

On the one hand, if you need something and you can’t go to the store, shopping online is the best option because you don’t need to move. Moreover, probably you have more products in an online store than in a real store, that's why you can find a wide range of food, clothes, etc. Also, while you are shopping online, you can do more things at the same time for example, listening to music.

On the other hand, if we go to the store, you have the option to go walking and do sport. More and more, in a real store you can see the products face to face and decide if you like them. In addition, if you go to a store, you socialize with more people.

In conclusion, there will always be people who prefer shopping online and people who prefer going to stores because the two options are good but, I believe that it is healthier to go walking to the stores although shopping online is more comfortable.

 

THE CONSEQUENCES OF MORPHING TECHNOLOGY

THE CONSEQUENCES OF MORPHING TECHNOLOGY

Some people might say that all the news that we read are real but, I believe that the morphing technology makes this statement false. It seems to me that if this technology advances, in the future we won't know what is real and what is not in news agencies.

On the one hand, if we use this morphing technology, we can’t never know what is happening in the world because all might be false. Furthemore, If people discover fake news in the news agencies, in the future they will stop trusting the media. More and more, we would be living in a world of lies.
On the other hand, it’s true that the media gives us what we want to listen and if they use morphing technology, they can manipulate us more easly. In addition, this technology might help them to get our trust. Although, they would really be cheating on us.

To sum up the morphing technology will be harmful or not for news agencies and the trust in the media, it all depends on how they use it. I think that to avoid negative consequences, the morphing technology should be banned.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in response to the job. I would like to apply for the position of code-breaker. 

I am 28 years old and I have studied Maths. I think that I have all the qualities for this job: I know how to keep a secret and obviously, I am good at languages. In addition, I recently completed an English master. My work experience includes: teacher of Maths at University for five years and also, I have participated as a editor in a publishing house as a hobby in my free time since I was 17 years old.

In addition, I am a hard-working and a very responsible person. I take my job very seriously.

I hope you will consider it. If you hire me you won't regret it.

ESPERANTO, YES OR NOT?

ESPERANTO, YES OR NOT?

In the world, there are a lot of common languages but also, there are a lot that aren't so common. For example, Esperanto. There are a lot of people that think that it should  change because IT is idealistic but impossible.

It is very difficult to impose a new international language when almost nobody speaks this langauge. It's important that if we declare this language as a ,linguafranca nobody would use it. In addition, schools should have teachers of this language and I think that there are more schools than people that speak Esperanto

Fortunatelly, this language is easy to learn and if we start, many years from now, it could be a common and international language. This is convenient because if we have more common and international languages, it is easier to talk to somebody

In my opinion, I think that it is a good idea to start learning Esperanto little by little and the situation could be improved by the help of experts.
