My 2014.

Someone told me at the beginning of the year that 2014 could be my year, my best year, because I was going to turn 18. And 18 is a beautiful age because you can travel without parents and you can bassicaly do everything that you have been doing all your adolescence but legally. In 2014 I have cried with my final high school exams and I laughed when I got my marks. I cried while I was reading my graduation speech because I thought how much I was going to miss my friends, my teachers and the high school were I spent six amazing years. In 2014 I performed in a musical, I cried before the performance and I laughed after performing. I have travelled with my friends to Salou, Port Aventura, to Mojacar and to Vienna to watch my favourite rock band in 2014. And, isn´t travelling the best was of enjoying a year? This year I moved to Murcia, I cried before becoming independent because I wanted to live with my mum forever. I cried the first day of University because I was so nervous, I was afraid of being rejected. But now, I can laugh in peace, because I love Murcia, I love my University, I love my degree and I really love my classmates. Actually, I wouldn´t change my life. So, to sum up, I want to give thanks to everybody that has helped me to make this year an amazing year. Please 2015, be as good as 2014.

EVALUABLE PRACTICE 3

Task: Write a short Problem/Solution essay (around 250 words) about an issue you consider worth analysing. 

  The worst problem that Spain has at the moment are the cut backs in pubic health and schools. Cut backs are a very serious problem, many doctors, nurses and teachers are getting fired because of the,. Moreover, there are people that have health problems that can´t be solved because the public health doesn´t pay a treatment for them and they can´t afford the private health. To have a very good education is very important for a person´s life, but, nowadays the schools can´t give to their students the best education because there are not enough teachers and there are too many students per class.

  The only solution that I see is to fire as many politicians as we can, because Spain does not need all those politicians. There are other countries, like Germany, that are bigger but, in contrast, have fewer politicians. Spain spends too much money paying each politician his income. I can not understand why a politician needs to get payed that much, maybe the cut backs have to be done at their salaries and not in public health and schools. A politician does not work more than a teacher or a doctor and, in my opinion, a politician is not as useful as a doctor.

  In conclusion, the problem of Spain are politicians and the way they can´t think about the well-being of the population.

Dreams come true.

I´ve always been a dreamer. I trust in myself and I know that I can achieve all my goals. I´m the type of person that fights very hard until she has what she wants. And usually, as a result of my perseverance, I get what I want. I read years ago that when you really want something, the whole Universe conspire to make it come true.
I´ve always had three dreams. (Yes, it would be very easy to make them true if I had a genius, but I didn´t.) I wanted a cat, to see Linkin Park in live and to visit Moscow.
My first dream came true the day of my 18th birthday when my friends, being tired of listening to me complaining everyday because my mum didn´t want to have a cat, persuaded my mum and bought it to me. The next two were more difficult to have but I didn´t give up. Last November, I saw in live Linkin Park. I went to Vienna with one of my best friends and it was an unforgettable travel. I have listened to Linkin Park since I was 14 and they ae my favourite group, when I listen to their music a lot of emotions come to me, I can´t explain it. So, listening to Chester singing a few metres of me was just amazing. I think it is the best experience I have never experienced. Now, I only need to save more money and go to Russia, and, having a Russian friend makes things easier.
If I can accomplish all my dreams, everybody can.
