Problem/solution Poverty

Poverty is a serious problem. In fact, we should be aware of how unfair the world is. The poor are poorer, the rich are richer. This is nothing new under the sun. Moreover, in leads to several problems like the lack of educarion. food or help.

One answer to this problem could be really easy to say but not as easy to do. The solution could be saving money in order to donete it. You don't have to save a huge amount, you can start by easy things like saving a quid per day. Being an altruistic person won't aplly much effort.

Another possible answer to this issue could be trying to help there by being part of an NGO. At his way, you can make use of some of your skills  and help then to learn a language, to dance or simply to read and write because most of the poor people are illiterate.

A final answer to this problem is to strike on developed countries in order to support them. However, this is a really difficult step to accomplish because most of the people don't care about the rest of the world expect themselves. In order words, they do not know what "loving their neighbour" is.


To sum up, if we are not concious about the problem, we will never be able to finish with it. Fortunately, if we try to work together we can develop a better world because we ran the world.

Freewriting( with mistakes checked)

When I was young, I used to go to dancing classes. I really liked it until my teacher become a bossy woman who was always yelling at my classmates and I. It was awful. So, that is the reason why I decided to stop going to ballet. The advantage of dropping it was that I had the chance to learn new things such as English.

2º Práctica evaluable

thesis statement: A language is thought to be dead when it is not longer used. Therefore, Latin is not a dead language because it is still used and it is never going to disappear.

I. Introduction and thesis statement at the end

II. It has a huge influence on other languages
    A. Romance languages
        1. Spanish -e.g agenda
        2. Italian - e.g custodia
        3. French - e.g dame
   B. Germanic languages
        1. English - e.g pauper
        2. German - e.g Prosit

III. International uses
    A. Music - e.g ad libitum
    B. Science
         1. Medicine - e.g name of some diseases
         2. Biology - e.g name of plants
    C. Literature

IV. International Grammar
      A. Expresions - e.g quid pro quo
      B. Conjuctions - e.g ergo

V. Conclusion

While it is being used all over the world, it is never going to disappear and if somehow it is thought to be completely dead it would be a fake because Latin has given a huge inherit to all languages. Is the mother that all languages have in common.

Music. There's nothing that express words that can not be said better than music. Music makes you feel all the feelings you can imagine- and even feelings for which you don't have names. As you can read on my previous lines I love music. 

Music has been part of my life since I was born as my grandad used to play plenty of instruments and so does my dad. Therefore, it was expected that someone in my family would have this passion for music. In addition, it has been me the lucky one. 

When I was a child I used to compose lyrics with an old friend- of course not really difficult lyrics, I was 8 years old. My songs were about cats, dogs and homework. Moreover, nowadays  when I read them I can't avoid laughing. They were so much fun! When I was 13 years old I decided to learn how to play guitar as I wanted to be like my father, who used to be a little famous with his music when he was young. Hence, I enrolled into a guitar course. Nevertheless, I had to give it up two years ago because of my studies. But I have to say that I have never stop playing guitar, what's more 3 years ago I decided to learn how to play the ukelele by my own. It's an hilarious instrument. My musical interests don't finish here. I have also been singing in the choir of my high school for 6 years. It was called " The bilingual choir" because we singed music in all language but normally nor Spanish.


With the choir I have sing in many places from the Molinas' theather to other Spanish cities such as Madrid, Valladolid or Cabra, which is a village in Cordoba. I have really enjoyed the choir and I am really thankfull for have  been given the oportunity to be part of it. Moreover, 4 years ago and old friend and I decided to enroll a contest in Thader Shopping center. We sang a played a song and we won the second place - the award was 400 € for both of us. It was an experience that I am never going to forget. Now, when I think about it, I don't even know how I was so brave to sang in front of a crowd like the one on the day of the contest. 


To sum up, As you can see I love music and I hope that it continues being an important part of my life. However, by saying that I love singing and playing it doesn't mean that I do it well. I just try to do my best while having fun .

Class assigment (Write an essay)

People sometimes ask whether art should be taught at school. Some say that the time spent on art would be better spent on more useful or academic subjects. However, in my opinion art should not only  be taught at every school it should be compulsory at school.

For one thing, most students enjoy learning art. This is because art is an active lesson that takes them away from lectures and books. Art lessons develop the students' creativity and help them to express their ideas and feelings in a different way-using colours instead of words.

In addition, learning art may be useful later in life. For example, young people often discover their artistic talents through art lessons. This can lead to a degree in art, such as fine arts, computer graphics or design. can you imagine what would happen if you have a gift for art and you never have the chance to discover it?

To sum up, art lessons should be part of the school curriculum. Art is an important and enjoyable subject that can benefit every student.

Dionysius is stalking



    Our society is the best representation of what " Apollinian" mens. It is a society controled by fool people. Fools without reason. When I say " fools" I mean vacuous people that are unable to think by themselves. However, these fools are the most powerfull people of the world. Nevertheless, We are  the true fools because we let them persuade us to do whatever they want to.

Furthermore,  we can't deny that our society is attending to a crisis of values. While the old greek men used to be worried about the  ἀρχή - which is the cause of everything-, the old roman people used to be worried about being the best engineers in order to make their neighbours life easy. What are we worry about? We are worried about having the latest fashion either in technology and fashion. We are worried about reaching our aims , even though sometimes it involves destroy the aims of our mates. We are worried about not being worried. What would our future be if the Greeks or Romans hadn't be worried about anything?

To my mind, the world would  never be the same. Maybe in our world, Dionysius would have always reigned and we would have never known Apollo. Fortunately, our world has known  Apollonian things- the order, the ability to think... and maybe that's the reason why we want him back. Unfortunately, there's always Dionysian in all Apollonian things. Is like a war that is being developed inside ours souls. I have some proves to support what I am saying. Ten years ago when a teenager saw an old woman, the teen used to help her. Nowadays, young people ignore everyone except themselves. What are we pretending to do with this? We are even loosing manners with old people. Don't forget that they are lucky, they have known Apollo.

Someone could tell me that I am a liar because ancient Greeks used to have a balance between Apollo and Dionysius. When they had to work hard they were Apollo and when they had to drink wine, dance and eat they were  Dionysius. However, in our society this is impossible. There will always be a dichotomy between Apollo and Dionysius. That's just because our society is the society of the excess. There is no a "modern Greek" that is a hard-worker and then has time to have time. Nowadays, if you work hard, you don't have time to have fun. And, if you have fun is because you don't have a job. Therefore, we can learn that by placing Apollo in our life we would have controlled our Dionysius, and we would have created another type of society. Maybe the old philosopher would have never disappeared.


In short, it seems that our society has lack of principles. It appears that we are just worried about sports, music, fashion and parties. At this way, Dionysius will always be stalking us. Our world would never stop being a fight between Apollo and Dionysius, a fight between the justice and the injustice, the reasonable and the unreasonable. As the great philosopher Karl Marx said" The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." That change has to be made by us. What do we prefer? Live on the ignorance or develop our skills to create a better world?
