Opinion

What's the name of your organitzation? The name is BB.

Why are you concerned? Because I live in a quiet village.

What problems might a motorway cause? They might destroy nature and create a lot of noise.

Why is a park better? My opinion is that the park is more beautiful, it means more green areas and it is a place everybody can enjoy.

How are you going to protest? I'll write a letter to the major.

Dear Sir,

I represent a group calle BB (BlackBerries), a group of you people who try to protect the environment because our planet is going to be better if we take caro of it. We would like to protest against the building ofthe motorway.

In our opinion, a motorway isn't good for the village life. First, we think that it produces a lot of pollution and noise. Also, the animals that live in the area will not habe a house and they will have to find other areas and probably some species will disappear.

We like living in a quiet place and we think that buildin a park is much better or us. A park would be a pleasant meeting point for all the people.

For this reason, we wanted to explain our ideas about the motorway to you, because we thing that our planet is very important to us. We hope that you will think about it.

Thanks for reading our letter.

Yours faithfully,

Sarah Bartra

Opinion: 30% students in Catalonia don't get ESO Certificate.

Opinion: 30% students in Catalonia don't get ESO Certificate.

Is our educational system being effective enough?
Are students working hard enough?
Are parents helping in the educational process?
Where's the problem? Have you got any suggestions?

My opinion is that the educational system is effective in some regions of our country. If students don’t listen to the teacher and they don’t do their homework, the teacher won’t help them because they aren't interested in anything.

It’s clear that in the future these students will have no job because they won’t have the graduate of ESO. If you haven’t got the graduate of ESO sit is very difficult to have a job.

Some parents influence negatively their children because they tell them that they can stay at home and watch TV .

I believe that all the students should study hard to get the ESO Certificate.

Daniel came to Jean Cabot's house to put a new lock. But Jean says to his husband: that this man could give the keys to his friends and they could enter the house. But Daniel hear all the conversation and he gives the two keys.

The next day he came to the Indians shop to put a new lock. Daniel says to the seller that he must changes the door because he can't put a new lock and the car-jackers can enter. The seller doesn't listen to him and that night the car-jackers steal in the shop. The seller was very upset and very angry. He follows Daniel to his house and when he gets off the car the seller points the gun to him. Suddenly he shoots the gun and the bullet goes to the back of his daughter. But when the seller bought the gun and the bullets he didn't know that he bought false bullets. And the daughter said “ It's OK daddy, I'll protect to you with my magical layer”.
