COMPOSITION 10: ''Would you like to be a celebrity?''


Composition 10 

Being a celebrity is anyone’s dream nowadays. But it comes with its advantages and disadvantages which can make life very difficult sometimes.

On the one hand, famous people are usually very rich so they can have everything they want such as big houses or expensive cars and clothes. What’s more, they can travel anywhere and spend their holidays in the best hotels in the world.

On the other hand, a disadvantage is that you can be recognized by everyone in the street and that can be annoying. In addition, you lose your privacy and you won’t live a quiet and safe life. Besides, celebrity fans sometimes become obsessed and your life can be in danger.

To sum up, being a celebrity may be nice but not an easy thing to live with. I personally enjoy living a private life and not put my life in danger.

COMPOSITION 09: ''Advantages and disadvantages of living in a rural area''


Composition 09

 Living in a rural area may be a dream come true for some people. However, rural life has both positive and negative sides.

On the one hand, there are lots of good things about living in a rural area. For instance, it provides cleaner air which means better breathing and smaller risk of respiratory illnesses. What’s more, you will be more relaxed, so your mental health will improve.

On the other hand, the main problem is that many villages don’t have the necessary facilities, such as good roads, schools, and hospitals. In addition, there aren’t many shops either, so you have to drive a long distance to get to a supermarket. Furthermore, job opportunities are much smaller than in the city.

In conclusion, a rural area is an ideal place to live if you are looking for peace, simplicity and harmony with nature. I prefer living in a city at the moment, but I’m sure that when I get older, I will choose the countryside

COMPOSITION 08: ''What kind of job would you like to have in the future?''

Composition 08

I have a lot of dreams for the future. As a career, I would like to become a doctor. Medicine is a very honorable profession since it seeks to help those who need it.

I have always enjoyed Science and I’m very good at it. Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the human body and the diseases that affect it. Besides, my father works as a Pediatrician and being a doctor like him has always been my dream.

Working as a doctor would let me express my love for patients, and allow me to apply my Science skills. My favorite specialties are cardiology and plastic surgery.

Although becoming a doctor is a hard task nowadays, I strongly believe this is the best job for me because it combines my love for Science with the challenge of saving people’s lives.

5th Quality Comment: '' Polyglots and Frontliners''



A polyglot is a person who speaks several languages. There is no specific number of languages that one needs to speak to be considered a polyglot.

On the one hand, being a polyglot has a lot of benefits. Experts say that language learning is one of the most practical and effective ways to exercise our brain. In addition, it delays the effects of diseases associated with aging, such as Dementia or Alzheimer. What’s more, learning other languages can bring many job opportunities for you in other countries.

On the other hand, there are disadvantages, too. Mixing languages can be one of them. It is very common to see people start a sentence with one language and then finish it with another.
Moreover, learning several languages takes a time commitment. This means you might not be able to spend time with your friends or do other activities.

To sum up, being a polyglot brings an opportunity for a better life. You will be able to understand other cultures, expand your business opportunity and enjoy every single benefit of it!

3rd Quality Comment: ''GRANADA FC, our local heroes!!!''


 

Granada FC is a Spanish football club in the city of Granada, which plays in the Spanish League. The club was founded in 1931, so they have just celebrated 90 years of history this year, on April 14th.

 ’’Jane Eyre’’ by Charlotte Bronte is one of the best books you can ever read. The setting for this novel is in the northern England countryside and the fictitious villages of Gateshead Hall, Lowood, Millcote, and Moor House during the 19th century. In this novel, we get to recognize the conflicts between love and independence, conscience and passion, and the struggle of a young girl and woman to maintain her self-esteem.


Concerning the author, Charlotte Bronte was an English novelist and poet, and the eldest of three Bronte sisters who were all writers. Born in Thornton, Yorkshire, in 1816, Charlotte's father was an Irish Anglican clergyman. After Charlotte's mother died of cancer in 1821, the clergyman and also father had no time to care for his daughters. Therefore, in August of 1824, he sent Charlotte with her two sisters to the Clergy Daughter's School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire. This school became the basis for Lowood School in the novel Jane Eyre. Bronte then continued her education at Roe Head in Mirfield 1831-1832 and became a teacher there between 1835-1838. During the period 1843-1844, Charlotte attended a language school in Brussels, Belgium, where she fell in love with a married professor at the school. This life experience is strongly shown in Jane Eyre in the relationship between Jane and Mr. Rochester at Thornfield Hall.

The main character of the story is Jane Eyre, a nine-year-old orphan, who is being raised by her maternal aunt, Mrs. Reed. The story begins with Jane telling her life story in the first person. She relates how as an orphan since being a baby, she has been raised by her maternal uncle's wife, Mrs. Reed. Recently she has been treated very cruelly both physically and emotionally by her aunt and cousins. Later, her aunt decides to send Jane to a boarding school for orphans at Lowood School. After being a model student and surviving a typhoid epidemic at the school during her first year, Jane graduates from Lowood six years later and stays two more years as a teacher.

Later, shortly after finding work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Jane starts to find some real happiness in life. She is entrusted with educating the ward of the master of Thornfield Hall, Mr. Rochester, a man of about 40. After formally meeting Mr. Rochester and numerous hours spent talking together, Jane truly falls in love with him. However, a series of bizarre and spooky events occur at Thornfield Hall which forces Jane to leave and seek her fortune in another place.

All in all, ‘’Jane Eyre’’ is an exciting and captivating love story. What’s more, the early sequences, in which Jane is sent to a boarding school in Lowood, are based on the author's own experiences, which makes the story even more interesting.

Composition 06: ''Advantages and disadvantages of having pets''

 Composition 06


Pets are humans' best friends. Most people get pets to keep them company, to protect their home or just because they love animals.

Having pets has a lot of benefits for their owners. Walking a dog, for example, can provide both the human and the dog with exercise, fresh air and social interaction. What's more, pets help reduce loneliness or can be used for emotional therapy in children and elderly people.

However, having pets is not an easy job. It is a big responsibility and we have to dedicate them a significant part of our time. Pets are usually pretty messy and we have to clean the house more often. In addition, pets can sometimes be a source of disturbance during the night. There are dogs barking and that can annoy our neighbours.

In conclusion, despite several disadvantages of having pets, animals are extremely beneficial for us. It is important to remember that pets are not only good friends but also a responsibility for us and we must take good care of them.

Composition 05: ''My ideal home''


Composition 05


Home is the place where we spend most of our time when we are not at school, at the university or at work. Home is the place where you feel secure, loved and respected.

Looking at it from the outside, a home is just a building, but on the inside, it is a lot more than that. Most of us like our own house, whether it is small or big, new or old. That is because we are emotionally attached to it, being the place where we were born and raised.

Apart from that, a relaxed and healthy environment is really important for me and, because of that, I would like to live in a quiet place, far from the city noise and pollution. My ideal house must be comfortable and bright. Its design should include, among others, one spacious living room with a modern fireplace and a huge sofa. What’s more, I would love to have my own bedroom with a private bathroom, since I’ve been always sharing the bedroom and the bathroom. In addition, my ideal home would include a gym and a big dressing room.

 To conclude, everyone dreams of an ideal home to live in. Even if we don’t have a big new house, if we feel safe, calm and loved there, that is the place called home.
