MORE ARTICLES

Hi, my name´s Claudia .I´m 28 ,I live in Langreo and this is my fourth year at the School of Languages. This is the first time I´ve made a review of this type of articles written by young people and adults with learning problems. I have read the chapter titled Drugs and I find it incredible the way they describe so naturally what they see on TV or what you hear. They describe everything meticulously and there are things that make you laugh.In my opinion there are two important statements which sum up all the article "Drugs is a business which gives a lot of money to four shameless " and " a person who takes drugs is because he wants , nobody makes him do it". I think these people should do more cultural things like this one. Congratulations

My mane ´s Ainoa, I´m sixteen years old and I´m from La Felguera . I´m studying first of bachiller at Santa Barbara High School. I also go to the Official School of Languages where I am a second year student of English. I´ve read your book El Mundo a través de Nuestros Ojos. I think the chapterabout the royal family is very interesting and funny. I also share your opinion about when you say how busy the royal family is. To be a price or a princess is very complicated and I also think that the king and the queen go to many excursions . Your opinion about the royal wedding is very amusing . I won´t be a pricess bacause I don´t like the obligations of the royal family.
My congratulations for your book I hope there will be a second part.

You must write what you are asked . The topic was : Living in towns versus living in the country. It´s not about spending holidays in towns ot in the country. Read carefully the topic because on some of you has misunderstood it and has mistaken the country for the town (living in a town is all right if you want to have a quiet life, you don´t have to wait long hours in traffic jams...) with these mistakes you ruin your compositions.
