It seems to me that the internet effect on society is not as extreme as it could be claimed. However, this is a hotly-debated topic whose solution is by no means simple to reach.
On the one hand, it is well-known the vast impact that a breakthrough can have in people. For instance, a huge range of inventions related to the technology and media, like radio or television, have been conducting society to this globalized world where we are more connected than ever before. Nevertheless, if innovation were to be so hazardous, how would have we progressed?
In fact, we have benefited from it, due to our lives have turned out to be more effortless. However, this is a double-edged sword, because we have developed a high dependence on it. While we used to have face-to-face communication with others, now we are becoming more introverted and also more sedentary.
Taking all the arguments into account, the question is if something that humans have created could end up taking control over them.
On balance, I feel that we are so concerned about its apparent power that we are leaving aside the one that we have, that is to say, under no circumstances are we to stop using a not biased reasoning and our common sense. In addition, being humble could be a help, that is to say, thinking about from where we come and who we are.

AN ODD HOTEL
Are you getting bored with your routine? Are you aware of how adventurous a holiday could be? If so, this is your hotel.
Actually, it wasn’t my booked destination but it turned out to be superb! I had booked a charming hotel on the coast of Greece, however, my plane got the wrong route and ended to land in Mexico City! Of course, I could complain about my air company, but, fortunately, I decided that it had been an election of fate. As you could guess, I had no site to stay, so that, I went to the most expensive hotel, the only one which has bedrooms available.
No sooner had I come into the hotel than it began to surprise me! It was in a forest, having to spend more than two hours to go there from the town centre. Besides, it was designed like the historical buildings of Gaudí, a Spanish architect. Each “room” was a house, not the typical one because they had a form of dragons. In fact, the complete resort could be felt like a fantastic film, where illusions easily appeared in your mind.
A stunning and colourful atmosphere was surrounding me when a group of Mexicans surprised me singing the traditional “rancheras”. It was an unforgettable night where a mix of true happiness and excitement invaded my body.
In conclusion, I honestly recommend this hotel called “The big dragon” to anybody ready to spend a holiday in a hotel which looks like a “Game of Thrones” scenery.

WHAT IS THE GREATEST VALUE OF COMPETITIVE SPORT FOR YOUNG PEOPLE?
Contrary to popular belief, this current society is not as sedentary as it is thought to be. Although there is an increasing trend of unhealthy habits, there are still a great number of young people who love the sport. However, it is remarkable that there are both extremes, not doing exercise or living for a competitive sport. For that reason, this essay sets out two points of view, lifestyle and time spending, related to which could be the impact of professional sport.
Nowadays, a lot of teenagers are missed out on many things that tended to be lost because of laziness or lack of initiative and self-organisation. For these reasons, targeting their lives to a meaningful aim like winning a competition could be the solution. Practising a sport involves a daily routine and a healthy lifestyle, which not only provides them with an awesome body but also make them more confident and willing to do anything.
Time is another significant fact to analyse. Although sport is a fruitful way of spending time, this is a double-edged sword. An extreme dedication could head off the young people of other essential life objectives like studying a degree or getting a deserving job. Nonetheless, all depends on how it is scheduled because there have been successful people who have been able to carry out their fame and studies.
On balance, the vast impact of sport is on the lifestyle, due to if doing it, you were to become a more committed and reliable person, besides it would ensure you a healthy future.

HELP TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE
Background
Nowadays, it is being carried out in the school an initiative which is about a language course targeted to any student who wants to learn French, as an alternative or counterpart to English, due to this is already being taught ordinarily.
Problems
Although it was an innovative and promising idea in its starts, there have been appreciated a few problems. Firstly, the schedule has come in for a lot of criticism because the classes are just after the end of the compulsory working hours, so both the students and the teachers seem to be exhausted and not as fruitful as they should be. Apart from that, parents have claimed that more specialised teachers, like native ones, would be more qualified to teach their kids.
Recommendations
For these reasons, the solution would be set up the course in the afternoon, and employ better teachers who wouldn’t have to make the effort of staying one hour more added to the ones that they already have to work. In addition, the way of teaching could be a bit different, making the process of learning more interesting and in this way attracting more students. For example, a trip abroad at the end of the course would encourage the students a lot, and also would be useful to invite foreign students, so both parts would be benefited.
Support
By my own, I have suggested these upgrades to other colleagues and they have agreed them, saying that renew a few aspects of the course would be marvellous.

FURTHER EDUCATION COURSES
In order to get the drift of what is the current state of education, it is essential to mention the optional post-learning. With this approach, it would be stood out the lack of money investments in initiatives which involve sport or art activities.
How is a country depends on its culture and history, two views narrowly linked with art. So it is that archeologists and historians are enabled to conform our timeline thanks to our past art activities like building monuments, composing music or painting our ancestors –in fact, paintings are the photographs of the past-. For these reasons, we should encourage students to carry out art degrees, in order to not lose our country personality. Nonetheless, it is appreciated that only small quantities of money are targeted to art projects.
From another point of view, sport is also important for a country. These days, sedentarism is affected our society in a heartbroken way. The youngest people are giving up sports activities because they take a lot of time and it is very difficult to succeed in a sports job. Apart from that, although doing exercise is essential to anyone, encourage sport with a professional aim could provide the country a fantastic international image of which could be taken advantage in the future.
On balance, art needs help but courses are not the best solution because it is something personal and sometimes, courses make of the art a commercial production teaching the same to all the students. However, investment in sport is more practical and easier to realise.

REVIEW OF A JOB ABROAD
LEARNING HOW TO MANAGE YOUR LEADERSHIP
INTRODUCTION
This report aims to describe a job which is provided by a company abroad as a part of a business course. I have recently experienced it, so I am capable of reviewing not only its favourable but also its disappointing points. Besides, advice will be given to other students.
DESCRIPTION
It has ended up being a completely fruitful adventure. Firstly, students are tested in order to checkout what are their knowledge about the different work paths which are carried out by the company. With your outcomes, you are assigned to a specific work in which you will be involved until the end of the experience. Because of being a company dedicated to give credits, you can work in a huge range of positions, ones involve dealing with public and others a more office work.
ADVANTAGES
The highly distinguishable advantage is having the chance to practise your English in a working ambient, a skill of which you will be grateful in the future. Apart from that, you are expected to work in groups, mainly in the afternoon activities. At this time, a lot of learning about leadership is acquired, in addition to how to planify, organise and realise a project.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The big issue for me was my introvert personality. You will have to make relationships with many people and usually, uncomfortable situations go out if you are not willing to create personal contact with others. So that, my advice is to be as outgoing as you can, enjoying themselves with your colleagues.

What type of book is most important to read nowadays?
A great
concern about the lack of reading these days is surrounding the minds of many
experts who have carried out shocking research which shows a direct
relationship between the number of books read by a person and their
comprehension of the world. If were books to be essential, what would be the
best type of them? Science and history books are considered as the most
significant nominees.
Firstly,
knowledge about our past and culture seems to be in high esteem by many
specialists. The absence of its knowledge may not be because of teachers and
their methods but more because of the student’s attitude. Due to this, a better
approach to make people aware of history could be the internet, because it is
more visual, besides its success has been proved with "youtube"
videos, which as films do, turn history into an easy and entertaining subject.
Conversely,
it has been made a complete failure in the way of teaching science. Learning
the basics of science in school, which include mathematics, is important, but
it is more to make people keen on science due to it could be passionating and
it makes us more modest. For that reason, books are a fantastic tool for people
who want to access science easily.
On balance,
my honest opinion is that science needs of books to be more popular and it is
high time being that because it has been always targetted to a minority. In
addition, unless the undeniable importance of history, it is a bigger knowledge
of it between people.

A NECESSITY OF A LANGUAGE COURSE
Background
We belong to a business which is spread all over the world, for that reason, making long journeys abroad is completely essential. As travelling is indispensable, communicating with people who speak in other languages it is too.
Present situation
A lot of workers have little knowledge of English, the language most used wherever. So that, this is an obstacle when a deal has to be made or when a project leader needs to display their arguments in front of a crowded room of foreign business people.
Recommendations
Me and other colleagues have found an English course which would be of enormous help. It has a duration of three months and avoiding loss of working hours, it takes place out of them. What is more, if the company takes over the expenses of the employees’ classes, the final price would be low enough to be assumed.
In addition, the benefits would be a lot, due to not only would it teach the employees but also it would make it possible the future growth of the company. Apart from that, the relationships between workers would be increased and it would encourage the work in groups.
Support for proposal
I have discussed my proposal with a number of colleagues, and most of them are very enthusiastic about it as a way of broadening knowledge of a new language, and providing the chance of meeting workers of other companies abroad, while there are discussed current worries and made significant contacts.
