APART FROM ACADEMIC SUBJECTS, WHAT DO YOU LEARN FROM GOING TO SCHOOL?

Everybody knows that, apart from academic subjects , most teachers try to inculcate some important moral values in their pupils. Those values are supposed to have been acquired at home before and then, they are reinforced at school by teachers.
There are different points of view in relacion to this topic.

To begin with, many people argue that the suitable place to learn essential values, such as respect, generosity, integrity, esteem and so on, is at home. That is, parents have the responsability to educate their children and let them know what is right, what is wrong and how to behave with each other in a plural society.

As far as essential values acquisition are concerned, some people think that not only parents are an example to follow, but this task should be carried out by teachers at school as well. As teachers have quialified knowledge and they are used to treat with children, they also know how to lead them on the right way and to solve their conflicts by giving them some advices.

In brief, this is a broad topic to develop on and as we have seen, there are several opinions to consider. I personally think that the basis of a good education lies on the family, that is, children discover the main values by taking their parents as an example and school is a good place where you can put into practice with your classemates and teachers all what you have learnt.

DO YOU THINK IMMIGRANTS ARE TREATED WELL IN MOST COUNTRIES?

Immigration is the movement of people into other country to which they not native in order to settle there. It is a result of a number of factors, including economic and political reasons, family re-unification or the wish to change one's life voluntarily. Since our ancestors were nomads, immigration exists.

Many years ago, when the immigration movement started, in America, immigrants were treated differently.
On the one hand, there were those that were welcomed in the community and given equal opportunities like residents.

On the other hand, some immigrants were treated with cruelty and forced to be slaves.
Since 2000, Spain has experienced high population growth as a result of immigrantion. The treatment immigrants receive in Spain is quite fair. They receive decent medical attention even when they are illegal.

To sum up, I personally think it is selfish, racist and cruel not to let other people live where they can have better lives than where they were born.

CAPITAL CENTRE

Unfortunately, I have never travel abroad so one of the places I like the most in Spain is Madrid.Madrid, as a capital city, has a huge range of things to do and it is one of the busiest places in Spain.

My cousin is studying there and he is always telling how wonderful is Madrid. He is really happy to be there. Next December I am going to travel Madrid to watch 40 Principales Prizes and I am very desperated and excited at the same time. Moreover, Madrid has all the facilities tourists need, all the places there are comunicated by train, bus and underground. 

Shops there are really cool, my favourite is Abercrombie because there are very lovely clothes although they are more expensive than in common shops. You can also visit the most famous places such as The Prados's Museum, Retiro's Park, Warner Bross Theme Park, Lion King Musical and so on.

I personally recommend you to go there. You surely spend a great time with your friends and family. Madrid is one of the most alive cities in Spain and you will not never forget that experience.

HEALTHY EATING HABITS

Food gives our body the energy we need to function. For many people, changing eating habits is very hard. We may have had certain eating habits for so long that we do not realized if they are healthy.Some scientists have shown that with work pressure and stressful lifestyle, many people do not have enough time to cook so they often buy fast food.

Is is very important for people to have good eating habits because abusing of junk food, prepared and high-fat meals can cause heart disease, diabetes and obessity to us.

It is necessary to remark that breakfast sets the tone for the day. A healthy breakfast will give our body the energy it need to get us to lunch.

As far as children are concerned we can say that by teaching them healthy eating habits and encourage them to do exercise when they are young, both will help them to mantain a healthy lifestyle when they are adults.
