Plastic surgery has become fashionable in the 21st century. We live in a society where there is a great number of people who are worried about aesthetics and it is really worried.
On the one hand, I think to be operated is not a bad thing to become more beautiful. You are the owner of your own body and if you do not like what you have, you can change it. There are many isolated and discriminated people because of their bodies today. And that is why if a person is not satisfied with their own body, they can change with help of plastic surgery.
On the other hand, plastic surgery presents risks and it is not something really necessary unless it is used in cases of health problems. For example, if you can not breath well you should be operated.
Surgery is not a game and it should be used only when it is necessary.

Food
Food is essential in our lifes.It is what does the engine of the body goes. However, food causes many problems like: anorexia, bulimia, hunger or obesity.
Anorexia and bulimia are nourishing disorders that people suffers because they believe they are fat. These people stop eating to be slimmer, and they eat less and less because they continually want to be thinner. For them, food is the worst thing that exists and they don't realize that it is essential to be able to live.They need a treatment to start eating little by little again because stopping eating causes serious problems to their bodies.
The hunger is more developed in underdeveloped countries. Every day thousands of people die of starvation because they don't have any drinkable water and essential nutrients and vitamins.
Obesity is another problem. This one is increasing around the world, especially in children. The obese people are those who weigh so much that their weight disturbs their daily life.
Thus, although food is something necessary and good, sometimes can cause many healthy problems, and solve them is matter of everybody.

Are elections fair really?
Since Franco had died in 1975, Spain has been a bipartisan country, with a bipartisan Congress and a bipartisan Senate ( wait, does the Senate exists?). The facts which has done that Spain is bipartidist has been the electoral law, apart from the media and the ideals inculcated by the dictatorship.
The electoral law ,based on D'hont law, is a very important fact because it is done to promote the bipartisan. Thus, to get a seat a small politic party needs many more votes than a big politic part like PSOE or PP, what made it easy to them to get the power.
The media is another important factor. Nowadays everybody watches TV, listens to the radio or reads newspaper, where usually only appear news about the two big political party. Media is what really made people want to vote one political party or another political party, they are who presents you your voting options and who sell you every candidate (in the way they want).
The ideals inculcated by the dictatorship are very important although it does not seem today. In 2015, there are many people who are afraid of voting a new political party or simply a left party because in the dictatorship, Franco caused panic with left ideals and made people though left was evil.
Spanish has not changed so many since Franco had died and it is showed each four years in every electoral elections and in the current society where the dictatorship ideals are very present. Changing Spain and making Spain free is in our hands leaving behind the dictatorship and its opression and thinink by ourselves.

With love
Dear Reader
I'm writing to tell you about how my life changed when I won the jackpot prize in 1999.
When I won the prize I didn't know what to do with the sum because I had never imagine winning it and I didn't need the money really. So, firstly I thought the best option was buying a new car or a new house as usually people do but my grandmother got ill, she had a strange ill and seeing her fightint to save her life made me change my mind. Although she finally beat the ill, this fact made me think about my money and how my money could help other people like her.I was searching and asking and finally, I found many organisations dedicated to help ill people without resources and money and I decided to spend the cash prize donating the money to these organisations instead of wasting it in useless things, what really made my family very proud of me and I started living an incredible experience meeting amazing people.
I want to encourage you to do the same with that money you don't know what to do with. Besides, it will do you feel better in yourself and it will do you change the way you see life because there are many people who really need our help around the world.
Love.

Technology in class
If you didn’t have a laptop, tablet or mobile phone in
class, how would your learning be different? Nowadays, technology is present in
our classes and many students carry laptop, tablet or mobile phone, which has
advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, one of the advantages of using laptop or tablet is that you can use it as a digital notebook to take notes faster and follow the teacher's explanation easier. Furthermore, it is a good way of saving paper. This is very important because saving paper is vital for the planet. Another advantage is the immediacy because if you need information about something you can search for it at the same moment. Furthermore, if you take a laptop or tablet to class, you will weigh less than if you carry a backpack with many books. Currently, teachers also use new technologies to explain. They use internet and some gadgets like power point or prezzi… to prepare the subject and expose it in their classes.
On the other hand, the technologies have some disadvantages because they are expensive, for example. Also keep in mind that new technologies can be difficult for some old teachers. Many of them prefer to continue using paper because they don’t understand the use of certain software or they don’t know how to use the PC. The biggest disadvantage of new technologies in class is that they can produce many distractions, especially with the use of mobile phone, because of it is forbidden in class: it causes many distractions and it hasn’t anyadvantage in learning.
When I was a school student I didn’t like to use laptops because they were a waste of time and they weren’t as advanced as nowadays they are. However, when I have started studying at university I like using them apart from the text book because they are very useful.In short, laptops and tablets have started a new way of studying, based on technology which is stronger every day.

Are zoos a solution?
People
aren’t aware of cruelty of zoos which used animals for entertainment and not to
protect species .
When I
was a child I went to the zoo with my family because my dream was to see tigers
and lions very close to me. However, I didn’t see that, what I saw was animals
in prison, animals that didn’t want to be kept in artificial ecosystems. I only
wanted unlock the cages.
It’s
true animals are cared of and fed but they are deprived of the most important
and what really makes them animals: freedom. Animals in captivity suffers
stress and boredom too.
At the
same way, what do that an specie animal become extinct is the human activity,
modifying every ecosystem directly or indirectly( as global warming), so zoos
aren’t a solution, the solution is humans care of our own planet.
Futhermore, animals
are unable to develop their skills in small enclosures with unnatural weather
and climates. For example, elephants walk 30 miles in one day and they can’t do
it in zoos because there isn’t enough space which can lead them to suffer some
diseases. In addition, baby animals improve the number of visitor and the money, but this
incentive to breed new baby animals leads to overpopulation and they are sold
not only to other zoos, but also to circuses or hunting facilities.
Zoos imprison animals that want to be and should be free, so zoos are only a
business.
Credit cards
Every day more and more people use credit
cards to pay for purchases in physical shops or to pay on-line. But, in the same way it has advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, the
advantages credit cards presents are the ease of
payment offered because carry cash isn’t
necessary and you can buy on-line in an easier way , in addition credit cards are very easy to use. Even if
somebody steal your credit card you could annul its use.
On the other hand, the disadvantages are excessive
spending because you could do a spending
you can’t afford and it lead to a compulsively buy and, futhermore having a credit card presents costs while paying cash is free.
In my case, I prefer paying by credit card because I think it is the most confortable way and the most safe.
