High School Liceo Castilla


Dear Sir or Madame,

I am writing to expres my concern about all the exams we have.
I know that they are important and taht help us to improve our knowledge, but we have a lot.

 First of all, I want to mark that in the last year of high school we don't have spare time, and the course is shorter. If we have two exams per week, we probably suffer estres.  

And secondly, but not less important, we never can't go out the weekends due to the exams we always have on monday.

I strongly urge you to reject this problem.
I suggest you to set the exams in an other way.

I look forward to your replay.
Yours faithfully.

BEING FAMOUS!!!!



Being famous have a lot of advantages and disadvantages.

On the one hand, if you are famous you would have a glamorous and luxurious lifestyle. Whatever place you go, a crowd of adoring fans will pursue you, and you must have one or two bodyguards. The famous people always have VIP entry in all the places, because the money talks.


On the other hand, to be in the spotlight have disadvantages, such as the lack of privacy due to the paparazzi following you around, snapping photos and asking you personal questions, that after make all the tabloids talk about you.

Talking about a picture...



This picture shows a lot of tents with many banners made of cardboard.
In the foreground we can see a young guy with a crutch. He is looking directly at the camera with a half smile in his face. Behind he there is a big camp of tents and in the back of the picture in the left side, we can see a group of people walking while carrying big banners.
They seem to be in a square that I’m sure is “la Puerta del Sol” in Madrid.
It could be that all this people are there making a demonstration because of the actual situation of crisis Spain is living and that is the way to fight against the steps the politicians have taken to solve this untenable situation.

Fame...

"You've got big dreams? You want fame? Well, fame costs. And right here is where you start paying ... in sweat."

With this sentence begins the TV serie Fame, and I’m going to talk about the price and the consequences that entails the fame.
A lot of famous artist have been unable to withstand the pressure of being in the spotlight.
In particular there is a group known as the “club of the 27”. All the members of this group, mostly musicians, share the same features:
They were in the top of their careers, were very notorious, they hadn’t private life, their behaviour was outrageous and controversial and they often went on a binge and were addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Furthermore, the most particular feature is that all of them, have died at the age of 27, from this fact comes their name. Some were murdered and others committed suicide.
In conclusion, we can say that the fame has a high price if you don’t know how to deal with it.
