How you imagine your life will be 2050

I believe that in 2050 I will have a stable life, married with a beautiful woman and I will have three or four kids and a dog. I would like to work in a big city, in a foreign country such as Norway, Finland or Sweden and I also would like to have the typical house in the mountain but in a modern style, with its fireplace and I’d like to celebrate Christmas there with the whole family, I’d decorate the house ful of the typical ornaments and the Christmas tree.

I’m sure I will have a second house on a Greek island, I’ll go there in summer and I will have a luxury yacht to be able to travel around the world, whenever I want and wherever I want.
In 2050 unfortunately I will start getting older and ugly and I will start feeling pain in my back. I  hope I will to retire soon, and be a pensioner and I’m sure I’ll love traveling with the “inserso”.

"Girls and boys should be taught separately"

In many Catholic schools, where families of students pay an amount of money every month, the boys and girls are taught separately. However, there are arguments both for and against it.

One of the advantages is that the student's result improve. Another argument is that in this way the kids have no sexual attraction to girls and vice versa, in this way children focus in their studies. Although the possibility exists that there are people who feel same-sex attraction, but it would be a minority.

On the other hand, being taught separately is an inconvenientce. Children doesn't learn how to live with people from the opposite sex and in the future, they can have problems when relating to women/men.

On balance, there are a lot of opinions, good ones and bad ones and we have to understand and respect all of them.

Descrive/describe what you would do if you could take a gap year before going to university.

If I had a gap year before going to college, I would do many activities. It would be a quiet year, but at the same time complete because I would always make things. I would make a trip around the world with a cruise and I would go to visit the most important cities of the world. During this trip, I would like to meet new people, go to parties, go to the beach and sleep a lot.
 

I would go to live to the Pyrenees during the winter and ski and do mountain sports every

day. At the end of the trip, I would revise school subjects because if I did not do it, I would not remember anything at all.

 



An informal letter or e-mail

Hi there! How’s it going? I haven’t heard form you for a long of time! I’m writing from the hotel room in Bangkok. This is the paradise. I’ve traveled all over China and Thailand and now, I’m going to Australia. The best place I’ve been is Hong Kong. I love Hong Kong! It is a cosmopolitan and beautiful city, but is very stressful because there are many people, it is a city like New York. When we get to Australia, I will go to Surfers Paradise, a very touristic town where you can go surfing. The last stop will be in Sydney, where I will stay for a week and then, return to Spain. Well guess what you are right, Mum. And sister? As always? Where is she? Has she arrived to Lima? I look forward your news. Write soon, See you on 24th!!! I love u. PS: Take care of my room, you can’t get in. Albert.

A frigtening encounter

Last week, I had an experience that I’ll never forget. I was in New York with my friends. We were walking at night in the Bronx district.  It was very cold. While we were going home, three men appeared dressed in black in the middle of the street.  We turned around and started running but the men caught us. We were gun pointed and they took us to a very small park and told us to give them all the money and the valor objects that we got.  We gave them everything, and they let us go away. The police caught them and returned the objects to us. That night I couldn’t sleep and now, I can’t forget this horrible experience.

How has air travel change the way people spend their holidays?

Previously, very few people could travel abroad because there wen't any means of transport such as aircraft, or it was too expensive. People went tu nearby places such Salou or Tarragona. They had to take other transportation like the train, the transport of the poorest people the most used at that time, or car, but very few people had one, because it was too expensive. Today, everything has changed. Now many air companies offer a lot of flights for very little money. You can go to the other side of the world in less than 24 hours. However, in the past you spent days and days before you arrived and you had to go by boat and it was much slower.
