Research paper abstract

Everybody knows that cheese comes from milk but do you know about the chemical process that takes place during its elaboration? That was the driving question during my research project. Then we talk about the differences between industrial elaboration and handmade elaboration. The practical part deals with what is a taste and to finish I determine the pH of different cheeses.

If you promise not to believe every thing your chld says happens at school. I will promise not to believe everything your child says happens at home.

Opinion essay

Is humour really necessary? If you ask that question to people they will answer that obviously yes, but if then they try to answered why is necessary they don't have any coherent answer. In my point of view, humour it isn't necessary for life.

At first, is important to say that is possible that humour can help to pass a bad situation but if you use humour for all your bad moments you will never give up because life  isn't a bed of roses we need to suffer bad moments if we want to grow up and progress.

Secondly, in this time of crisis people tend to say that with humour the problems will sort out like if we live in a magic word. Moreover, the only way to clear up a problem is making a lot of effort and working every day to accomplish our objective because if we don't do that, the world where we life will kill us. That world where we live is a competitive world where the only way to survive is working and suffer because if you waste time laughing you will lost lots of opportunities that they will never return.

In conclusion, you will think that during the text I only talk about humour in a different way than normal, because I think that people don't take seriously a lot of important things. However humour will be useful when we are with friends or in some moments of life but we must not use humour as a style of live because you will damage yourself and the people you love.

Mail to the teacher

Dear Sonia,

I was thinking about what are my true dreams, at that moment I have only one important challenge because that objective needs a lot of concentration and dedication. This dream is to arrive at the end of second batxillerat earning good grades and study Medicine in Barcelona. Talking about long-term dreams, before I die I want to visit, at least, five countries in every continent. My favourite destination are China, Australia, Nepal and Egypt because I love their culture, their nature and their waves(only when we talk about Australia). When I finish my degree I want to find a job as soon as possible in Catalonia, to achieve that dream I will try to study a lot at the university and stand out as much as I can.

The first thing that I will underline about Obama's speech is that I had never seen in Spain a president talking face to face with a group of students(probably because the students will throw tomatoes at him). Then I like when Obama talk about him in the address, that thing put the speech at the level of a friends conversation. After that I need to talk about one of the most strange phrases for normally students: “Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength.” As a teacher you might know that is very difficult see a students raising their hand to ask to you a question and in one way I think that it's normal because then some of they school partners will laugh about him but in another way if the student don't ask to you then probably he can't pass the exam. Finally I want to comment one of the strangest phrases in the Spanish society: “you become good at things through hard work”, here in Spain is very difficult to see people working hard to accomplish his objective however when I visit America I saw a very different culture and one of that differences was that they don't wait for anything they are always working for meet their goals.

In conclusion, I know that to achieve a dream you need to struggle every day but “purpose is what gives life a meaning”(C.H. Parkhurst), as that quote say probably is more important the path than the destination.

Write soon.

Beauty dialogue (original)

Scenario: Stacey and her mother are at home having dinner.

Characters: Stacey, Mother

Stacey:   Mom, do you think my boobs are too small?

Mother:   What?

Stacey:   My boobs. You know, I was thinking about... an operation.

Mother:   WHAT?

Stacey:   Mom, please, give me a sec. 

Mother:   No no no, I won't give you a sec. You just turned 18!

Stacey:   But mom, it's BECAUSE I AM 18! I can decide by myself!

Mother:   Stacey, there are just too many reasons why this is not good.

Stacey:   Which ones? Mom, today these operations aren't dangerous anymore...

Mother:   It's not only that! First of all, why do you want bigger boobs? Who told you that they're small? I think they're perfectly fine.

Stacey:   I see the looks of the guys. They only stare at the other girls! They don't look at me at all!

Mother:   And what? You don't need some boy that looks only at your boobs!

Stacey:   But mom, it's like if I was invisible!

Mother:   Haaaangh... And where do you get the money for such an operation?

Stacey:   Emmm...

Mother:   You didn't even think about it?

Stacey:   No, er, yes, I did! I thought I could save some money...

Mother:   SOME money? Do you even know how much an operation like that costs? A little summer work won't be enough to pay something like that! 

Stacey:   Well, if I do the operation then all the guys will follow like if they were my pets! And then I'll easily get a loaded boyfriend and all the problems are solved.

Mother:   Oh yes, Stacey, you're a genius! I didn't know you have such good ideas!

Stacey:   You see! 

Mother:   Stacey, ARE YOU STUPID? THAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA... Oh my god...

Stacey:   That's a terrible idea? And that lawyer you're dating lately? You aren't doing it because of his money?

Mother:   STACEY, HOW DARE YOU...

Stacey:   And now that I think about it... A little surgery would do you well, too...

Epilogue:   Only one of the two survived that dinner...

Exam composition

I don't like what Henry Wottom said about beauty because the appearance and the inside are always very different.

At first, in our society if we ask what things is the most important between youth(beauth) people and smart people they say that smart people is most important. However if you see their life or how they talk more about "Salvame" than if someone has improved the life of ill people, you can think and say that probably Lord Henry was correct and the only important things is youth and beauty but don't think that because the problem is that the most of the population don't accept that is better to be good and ugly preson than to be evil and beauty.
