My Holidays

This year I’ve found my summer fantastic. I had a lot of fun with my friends and I did a lot of things, but the most important I did is travelling.

The first travel I did was to Banff, Canada; where the Rocky Mountains are. It was pretty spectacular, everything was enormous, and the little villages were such a beautiful place. The people there were always so nice, and we had a perfect weather, despite that some days it rained.    

A month after that, we went again to America; this time to USA. First, we went to Las Vegas, simply crazy town. After that we continued the famous 66 Route to Arizona, to the Grand Canyon, which is just wonderful. Then we arrived to California, starting with San Diego, a non-typical city that I found very interesting and with a lot of movement. We continued till Los Angeles, and saw the Santa Monica’s beach and the Laguna Beach, and finally we went to San Francisco. I literally fell in love with that city, it made me remember New York, but with a different style.   

So I have to say, finally, that my summer has been perfect!

Computers VS Books.



· Nowadays, schools can't be without an informatic room. Internet is being used by the students more than encyclopedias or information books about the subject. Information is on our hands faster and easier now. However, is it desirable?

· On the one hand, young people are losing the love to read, and sometimes they can't search just a word in a diccionary. Furthemore, they are adopting bad costums. For example, when one class has to do some homework and the teacher let them write it by "word"- if they're tired or don't like the subject or they're simply lazy, they can just do "copy&paste".

· Anyway, on the other hand, this alternative way of investigation and work is making young people more confortable at the studying time. And they have now the chance to take care of their education by themselves, so the freedom and autonomous feeling can make responsability funnier

_ _ _ In short, both ways of learning have their pros and cons, but the most important thing that we need to know is that we have to get the best of both of them.
