technology

Nowadays, technology is improving astonishingly fast, so everybody want to have a laptop, a microwave oven or whatever that helps us to do our labours more fast  and more easy than many years ago. But this progress have made an impact on the society and it is producing teen social media addition. Therefore, some inventions that looked like a key breakthrough now, they are creating a generation addict to the Internet and many youngsters stalk in Facebook and they are more interested in other people’s life than in theirs.

On the one hand, electronic gadgets are used as tools to work faster and it is something incredible. Moreover, we can forward a message whenever we want and we also can navigate websites where there are a lot of different things to do or see, like launching a car that you do not want any more, etc.

But, on the other hand, young people are always going online and they are completely absorved in the computer or in the mobile phone. Likewise, their relationships out of technology are getting worse and we choose to pick up our mobile than talking face to face.

To sum up, if technology were used to make our life easier and better, teenagers would not be techno-lovers who only use their mobiles to take a photograph and publish it on the Internet. So, in conclusion, technology is a great invention that should be used to be more intelligent; as Albert Einstein once said: ‘I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots’. 

education

At the moment, education is imparted by parents and teachers, but not in the same way. Therefore, boys and girls spend long hours at school, so many times, teachers are more responsible than parents in educating. This is a problem because of the preparation of school teachers, who study a degree which is, in Spain, for example, a complete disaster, because there are people studying that do not know what a kid is really. In contrast, there are northern countries such as Finland where teachers are the most prepared people, a very interesting point of view.

Firstly, teachers provide training for young people based on passing exams, which forces people to make an effort that will disappear after doing the exam. Because of it, if teachers taught children to learn, children would be able to earn a living in an easier way and find employment will be less difficult too.   Therefore, we pass our life receiving a grade, but we need to go beyond and be prepared to face new challenges, something very important nowadays.

Secondly, parents are increasingly permissive. It is seen everyday on the streets, where kinds -and no so kids- use their mobile phones all the time and they misbehave too much, adding that they never apologise. Moreover, there are kids who don’t work hard and they are not subsequently with their actions. For example, if they don’t pass an exam, they will have another one indefinitely, and it I not as punished as it should be.

In conclusion, parents and teachers should start earlier to educate children and they should change me method too, because they have the full responsibility on the children, which are immerse in a society that is more preoccupied in passing exams than in learning, an aspect that must be changed by everyone.

my family

     My family is formed by a lot of people who are very different from each other, but all of them have a good sense of humour, so I have fun every time I see them. Meeting the family is a great pastime, isn’t it?

On the one hand, there is my mother’s side family, which is formed by my four aunts and mother, nine cousins and my grandmother. I’m the eldest cousin and the youngest is just a tiny tot, so he is particularly spoilt. He also wear glasses and it makes him so cute and he looks like a cartoon. Moreover, it is too easy to make a fool out of him and his brother, but we never fight with them seriously. My other cousins are portly guys in spite of being younger than me, so when were kids, they was like giants for me. In addition, my brother, who is only one year younger than me, is a fiercely loyal person and he had a striking appearance.

    Secondly, my aunts are like my older sisters because of their age, so I have family support on them. All of them has slender waist and lovely complexion. They are also very funny and I love spare time with them. Furthermore, my mother is the oldest and she is someone highly intelligent who looks after everyone.

     Thirdly, there is my grandmother. She is an only child who has managed to form a really nice family. She is my most admired family member, because she is always laughing despite a very hard past, when he lost her sister, father and her late husband. But she never gives up and she loves meeting the family whenever she can.  She is a medium height person and she has got short white hair. I would like to be like her when I have her age.

    On the other hand, there is my father’s side family. It is not as big as the other one, but I like too. I’m going to emphasize the figure of my eldest cousin. He is a person who has lived with his single mother until now. He has never had a stable home, but he is a strong person that never make snap decisions because of his personality: he has a razor-sharp mind, so I love going out with him. Therefore, I like telling everything, because he is good keeping secrets, which run in the family.

      Finally, I’m going to talk about my father. He is a person who I admired too much and is the one who put me first in all decisions. I think he is the father everybody would like to have in his life, so I am so proud to be her daughter and to have a parents and a brother like mine.

      In conclusion, I don’t know what the most admired family member is, but I really know that I look like all my family members in small things. For this reason, I would like to be as much alike as now in the future.    

advertising

Nowadays, technology manage ad men to create new forms of advertising which is used to convince young people about the advantages of a product that probably is not as well as the advert shows. If the right ingredients are mixed, it will be a succesful advert. These ingredients could be for example: a powerful slogan that everybody remind, striking and powerful images and show known people like top footballers.

Therefore, many young people see on the TV other youngsters who are drinkining spirits and they think it is a good idea. It is due to the scenes that are representated on the advert. Normally, beer adverts show people laughing and they are having fun all the time, so teenagers would like to be like them without thinking about consecuencies.

Likewise, there are a wide variety of adverts that are thought to be the simple truth by the youth because of the high ninfluence that TV adverts exerct on them. There are car adverts that show graceful vehicles very expensive and young people aspire to get one in the future.

In conclusión, there are TV program adverts, novel adverts, etc. that show a simple product thay you would like to have or see but it have not influence on you. The problem exists on adverts that are ful of lies and change young mind. It should be limited by themselves, doesn’t it?

drinking and smoking on young people

   Nowadays, kids grow up earlier and many of them waste their spare time smoking and drinking. Therefore, modern teenagers start smoking at a very early age. It is a problem, because stop smoking is something difficult and it make a big difference between someone who smokes and drinks too much and someone who knows when is the moment to do it.

    Moreover, these actions affect child’s mood and it doesn’t appear to be differences between teenagers and adults due to the hurry to grow up. Adults have de obligation to fall out their children and suggested them going to a school camp live in a clean, tidy environment, for example and have a happy childhood.

    Furthermore, there are numbers of activities to kick bad habits such as meeting friends and going to local shops, doing sport, drawing, or just doing maths homework can help them to waste time and forget bad habits. In addition, they also can do useful things as housework.

    Another thing they could do is eating healthy. It helps providing nutrients to the brain, so it is easier to have a concentrations and to put aside bad habits, unlike alcohol, which is injurious to health.

      In conclusion, everybody like going out and it must be something good. Because of it, people who smoke and drink don’t have as fun as they think, so adults or just friends must warn about the consequences of having a bad lifestyle.
