  FIRST QUALITY comment Self-driving cars will also drive us round the bend Nowadays our lifestyle has changed due to the fact that machines are learning fast to think on their own. This can be a big problem caused by us because it is easier to use the robots than doing ourselves activities they can do. Nowadays, robots can not do all the activities that humans can do, but in the future they will be able to do everything and even do it better than us, so they will replace us. On the one hand, machines and robots have many benefits because they help us carry out activities that we usually do and so we have more time to do other things that they can not do. So, they will make our life easier because they will reduce the work that we have to do. Like the robots that can clean our house alone or make us food. Besides, they can help the elderly a lot to get up after a fall. They can also remind them when to take medications or even help them wash their hair. And in the fut...

COMMENT Nowadays, there are different types of fashion because in the latest years fashion has changed a lot. For example: the scumbro, is the most popular trend in men's fashion 2018. This fashion consists of wearing too big and too expensive clothes, brands like: Versace, Palace, Gucci, Supreme and Prada. These brands are inaccessible to most young people, so young male celebrities are the ones who usually wear this style, like: Justin Bieber, Shia LaBeouf, Jonah Hill, Pete Davidson and Shia LaBeouf. They are criticized on social networks for wearing this type of clothing because most people think it is horrible and ugly. In my opinion, everyone can dress as they want and shouldn't worry about the opinion of others. For me, scumbro fashion is very ugly and also very expensive.

COMENTARIO Every day we are online talking with our friends… Therefore, one of the problems of new technologies is to meet people online. Because that can be good or bad, it have consequences. On the one hand, when you meet someone online you can learn about what he is really like or not. Because it is easier to express feelings online than face to face. This person can deceive you with his feelings and emotions and not be who they say they are. On the other hand, It’s estimated that one in five of us is meeting our partners online. This datum is a bit worrying because fewer and fewer couples know each other as they are really. And this can mean that if the relationship isn’t well known, it will last less time. From my point of view, meeting people online can be good or not. Therefore, I think that face-to-face relationships are better because you know the person really, both to make friends and to know your partner.

COMMENT Nowadays many people fight against pollution, but comfort makes us forget pollution on many occasions, without realizing it. For example, when we go to the supermarket and we forget the reusable bag and we have to buy another one, when we buy plastic bottles and also when we go to a coffee shop or even to our own house and we drink coffee in a disposable plastic cup. The example of how to drink coffee is a good example and very interesting. “Why not sip it from a rather more sophisticated china rim as opposed to sucking it toddler-like through a slit in a plastic lid?” This is a good question that is answered easily. Because for most people it is easier to drink coffee in a disposable cup and when they finish taking it, they just have to throw the container in the trash and do not have to wash it or anything. From my point of view, pollution is a very serious and important issue, because with pollution we are destroying our own future. To fight for our future I ...

Thanking a relative or friend for the advice he gave you on a specific problem Dear Helena, I’m writing to thank you for your advice about my new job. I felt really lost at first and which your advice now I am much better. The work here is harder and my co-workers are very unfriendly and boring.

“A story about a difficult personal experience” Last summer, I went to the forest with my friends to go camping with tents and a caravan. We spent the day all together having a great time in a river that was close to our caravan. It was getting dark and we decided to go back to the camp. We were preparing the dinner when we realized that we had spent all the firewood. We thought about going for firewood and we divided into two groups, some stayed in the camp preparing the beds and others went to look for firewood. We were looking for it when we heard a noise and suddenly Oliver shouted help! and he came running and he told us to run. I saw a cave and we hid there. After a few minutes we saw a man looking for us. And I asked my friend Oliver, who was that man and why he was looking for us and he told me that he was looking for firewood and he saw a man shooting a woman and the man saw him and he ran after him. I was very surprised and called the police. Finally, the police ...

WRITING 02 When I was in the first year, it was very different from now because I have changed in many ways. As in the character, the way of studying, the organization, the way of dressing. I used to go to school with a blue backpack, a pink case and a purple folder . I remember one day I brought a dress and now I do not use it anymore. Above all, I used to have more free time because now I have to study more studies and more tasks. I used to study longer for my exams and now I take less because I already have a study habit. Also, now I organize myself much better than before. I used to be more nervous and messier in class than now. I used to participate less in class than now because I was embarrassed but I also used to talk more in class with my friends. I think I have changed a lot because every year I learn new things, I study better and, above all, I have matured day by day.

COMMENT 1 We live in a privileged country because there are poorer countries than ours, because in other countries people die unfortunately due to lack of food every day. Nowadays, we can help them. For example, every day we waste food in our homes and other people need it to survive.  In addition, in many supermarkets the products that aren't in perfect conditions are discarded, so that all the food has a good appearance for the people.This food is good for our health and appearance does not affect us. We can use this food for people who don't have enough money to eat every day. As Tesco, he is the only retailer in the UK that no longer wastes food that is fit for human consumption in its supermarket. From my point of view, we must appreciate what we have, because many people dream of having to eat every day. We have to help them and not waste so much food thinking about them.

WRITING 01 Last summer, I went to a camping in Cazorla with my family. One day, I was in my car on the way to a waterfall, when suddenly we saw the driver to another car throw the fad-end to the ground. It fell to a bush and caused a big fire. My father drove fast and when we are safe I call the fire department. Firefighters couldn’t put out the fire because it was too big.They evicted the people from de camp and took us to a shelter. We were in the shelter three days because the firefighters couldn’t put out the fire. Luckily, on the fourth day a great storm began and extinguished the fire but that flooded the camping. And we had to stay one more day in the shelter.
