Healthy food vs junk food. Comparing and contrasting.

Last week we did in class an activity in which we had to compare and contrast two women, Belén Esteban and Kate Middleton, the first one, in my case, would be junk food and the second, healthy food. In what way are they similar? In what are they different? Well, Belén and Kate are both women who are recognised because they have or had a relationship with a famous man, and junk and healthy food are both this, food. and the two can feed you. but, which one is better? The doctors woulds say that junk food is rubbish and you don´t need it, cinema experts would say the same thing about Belén Esteban but I have a very different opinion. It is well known that if you want to be healthy you mustn´t eat junk food but, what about these lazy sundays when the only thing you are interested in is watching bad TV series or films eating ice creams, chips, etc? To stay healthy, there is nothing better than eating healthy food, doing some sport and reading a good book, but, some days you just need to lay on the sofa, eat some chocolate and watch some stupid films or TV series. In my opinion, it should be a balance between "good" and "bad" things.


Evaluable practice.

Task: Write an opinion paragraph (125-150 words) about something you really like but most people don´t like at all.

The Vampire Diaries is my favourite  TV serie since I watched the first season. I started to watch it because my best friend recommended it to me. I love this serie because the actors are so good, Ian Somerhalder, one of the protagonists, is the most handsome man I´ve ever seen. This TV serie is abut two brothers (Stefan and Damon) that get in lovewith the same girl and they live in a town where  a lot of people are vampires, wolfs or witches. Moreover, this serie has a lot of action and I like it so much  because it represents some teenager´s problemsas romance or hih school and it also includes magic, and I love magic. Most people don´t like this serie because they think it´s boring and it is only for a teenager girl. But I don´t think so. The Vampire Diaries is amazing and I don´t care  what other people say, I´m free to watch whatever I like.

¿Book or film?

A book and a film can tell us the same story but in a very different way. First of all, both are a good way to spend your spare time. With a book, you usually spend a few days whereas with a film you spend a few hours. Moreover, with a book you get more detailed information, the film just show you the story in broad strokes, reading a book you can know a character and how he thinks better. In addition, reading is a very good hobby, it is very good for you because it helps to train your brain, it also reduces the risks of suffer alzheimer, besides, it helps you to imprve your concentration and it reduces stress. Likewise, reading is a cheap entertainment, going to the cinema can be very expensive. In contrast, you can watch a film with friends but normally you read alone. But, you can read a book wherever you want not the same as a film, where you need a cinema, a TV or a computer.
When you have read a book and then you go to watch the film, you always think 'I prefer the book, the film is not like I imagined it.'

Opinion paragraph: Friendship in teenagers.

How important is for a teenager to have good friends? It is well known that a lot of teenagers have many problems to integrate in the society because sometimes people can be very cruel, and if
you´re not into the stereotypes you can be rejected.

Having friends it´s very very positive for everybody but even more when you are a teenager. When you are a teenager you need someone to help you with your first love problems, someone you can´t talk to without worrying what will he think about me, someone who understands you perfectly and someone who you can share your best moments with. That is the definition of a friend.
The adolescence is a very hard period but if you are surrounded by amazing people it can go very well. Everybody should be entitled to have good friends. I am very lucky, because I can count on my friends.




To conclude, I would like to introduce my best friends, Aynara, Andrea and Sheila. We like to call ourselves "Beefeater´s friends". These girls make my days happier.

My flatmates.

Living together with my flatmates is fantastic. Each one cooks his own food but sometimes we dinner together. We have no problem to clean, in the fridge there is a schedule with the things that each one has to clean. At nights, we always watch TV together, it´s our moment to relax and tell how was the day. In conclusion, I wouldn´t change them.

Olga

Seven years ago Olga was born. Olga is one of my little sisters. When I look at her I see the most beautiful green eyes I´ve ever seen. Her smile makes people laugh because she is gap-toothed but it´s also very pretty. She likes dancing too much, you will always find her dancing or singing all over my house. Olga is the only person that can make me smile even in my worst moments.

Florence

  What is my favourite place in the world? Italy is maybe the most beautiful place I´ve ever been. Two years ago I went to the Tuscan with my friends and some teachers. We visited Pisa, Florence and Siena. 
  
  We stayed 5 nights in Florence but we went by train to visit Pisa and Siena. The Tower of Pisa was absolutely terrific, you can feel when you go up the stairs how it is leaning. We took the traditional photo holding the Tower and it was very funny. 
  
  The city I like the most is Florence, I always say that it´s a magic city because of its charming. We visited the Uffizzi Gallery, il Duomo, the piglet fountain, etc. 





Italy is very famous too about their ice cream, I can claim that you won´t taste an ice cream as good as in Italy. They have a lot of variety but it´s expensive because all the tourists want to try 'il gelato italiano'. I really recomend it. We ate 3 times a day or more ice cream. 



In conclusion, I think Florence is the best place I have ever visited. I would come back without thinking it. Ci vediamo Italia!
