University

It is said that at university you study whenever you want but it isn't the real truth. It is a fact that you can choose going or not to class but it depends on yourself. In my opinion, it's correct attending to classes because yo have the opportunity of pay attention and you can be in contact with your classmates. On the one hand, you have freedom at university, that you didn't have at high school. On the other hand, you have your exams schedule established since the first day you started university. Thus you have to manage your time correctly. In other words, if you want to succeed at university, you have to start studying since the first day. In conclusion, university is not as easy as people told us.

Comparative text- Series and films

Series and films are ways of entertaiment  but they aren't the same. When you decide to watch a serie, you don't know what about it is going to be. You have to watch the first chapter to discover it. In contrast, in a film you can watch its trailer and you can know if it is worth paying to watch it or not. However, it's better watching a serie due to it goes on every week though a film is available a few weeks. Futhermore, if you're looking forward to watch a special film you have to pay for it. To sum up, I consider films more enjoyable than series because of its term in our minds.

Traditional festivities

These two last weekends have been my town festivities. They are celebrated in honour of Our Lady of Rosary. Also, we have another religious symbol which is Pasico's virgin. It is said that a miner was coming home and he found a piece of stone where was drawing a virgin. Then, that stone was blessing and it was built a hermitage in its honour. As well as, we celebrate some masses. For example, we have one dedicated to Rocio’s virgin and another where people wear traditional costumes and sing regional songs. Finally, last Saturday the parade of floats and troupes take place in the main streets of the town. Clubs’ people do little flowers of tissue paper to create all those floats and troupes. To sum up, my town festivities are so enjoyable and I'm looking forward to next year.

Reggaeton music

Many people listen to this kind of music, but they don't realise its chauvinist lyrics. Reggaeton is used in parties and discos to having fun and dancing but songs' contents is insulting. Singers describe women as sexual objects and they haven't respect to them. In these songs, men are considered alpha men because they are supposed to control women. Generally, Reggaeton is a sexist music. There has been lots of  campaigns against chauvinism in reggaeton, defending specially by women. They don't want to be objects, they can't stand manners like those mentioned previously. Despite having bad lyrics, its music is awful and repetitive.It is always used the same rhythm. I considered this music so depraved and many people agree  it should change.

Driving classes

This week has been very stifling for many things such as my driving classes. All started when I failed my first driving test in September, so I have another opportunity to do it again. I have been waking up different days at seven o'clock to drive and make my practices in Cartagena. It's horrible driving all the mornings and then arriving home tired. I know how to drive but maybe, in some cases, I can get nervous and I don't know what to do. For that reason I failed my first exam.
My driving teacher has told me that my examiner is from Cartagena and it is said that Cartagena's examiners are the worst and many people failed with them. I didn't want to get my driving licence this year because I'm living in Murcia now and I don't need a car in a big city. But my parents insisted in that so I had to do it, under preassure.
This time,  I hope not to fail my exam and pass the exam at least.

The Giant's Causeway

This place is known as the Giant's Causeway, which is located in Antrim, Nothern Ireland. You can see hexagon shaped rocks like columns, and then you ask yourself how nature can create that. They look like a work of an abstract artist but they are sixty millions years old. In this picture, that place can look like small and not too wide, but perhaps it is bigger and not so narrower as you can expect. The atmosphere is cold because of the waves crashing into these rocks. It looks like an island but if you realise something, you can see an isthmus. For me, it can represent melancholy but at the same time, only looking at it, I can realise that is very ancient and unspoilt. In addition, it reminds me to a Romantic painting in which the main character is looking to the brave sea, representing the loneliness of Romantic writers. Also it is a bit similar to the cliffs which appear in Pride and Prejudice.
To sum up, I have to say that place inspired me to be relaxed and feel comfortable with myself.
