The world is changing, because some people don't come out as before. Our world in two years: we are in the new world, some people continue putting the masks, or continue selling the hydroalcoholic gel for to wash your hands. Some people continue stay distance between them, because the pandemic changed our lives that day of December 2019 to 2020 and 2021, ¿and it can to be also 2022? I don't know.

For some Maradona is considered the best player in history. In Argentina he is considered a God, he has his own church. For me, Maradona is the best retired player in history, because he signed for Napoli, which at that time was a mid-table team and he only managed to win two Scudettos and make Napoli great. In Argentina his greatest achievement was winning the 1986 World Cup and in the quarterfinals of that World Cup he scored the two most famous goals in history.
ResponderEliminarJust saying that as a person he haven´t exactly been an example but he will always be remembered.

That the world is changing is obvious. Technology is very used, it is everywhere. Our form of communication has changed, a few years ago, the only form of communication was the letter that took days to arrive, today we use instant messaging and so we are always connected. We have so much information that we don´t distinguish between real news and fake news, so many people believe the fake news and lies are growing on social media.
ResponderEliminarI believe that change is good but it has negtive aspects such as that we live totally dependent on the mobile phone and we lose what is happening around us.

ResponderEliminarThe world is changing and those changes are noticeable worldwide, not only because of the pandemic but also because of many other things that are happening and we do not realize it. If the world continues to change ... What will become of us or the pandemic? Will we continue with the Covid-19 attacking? I hope that people who do not respect are aware of the global damage they cause by doing irresponsible things

The world in the past doesn’t have any likeness with the present . The meetings of business´s , familars ,friends ... Now it´s different , now there are less people in meetings because Covid-19 is everywhere . Covid has changed how we live in the present ihope that things will go backin the futre as now it is very hard . Javier Rivas López 2ºESO A
ResponderEliminarIt is true that the world is constantly changing in some ways, this world is changing for the better, such as the change from motor cars to electric cars, such as the use of biodegradable plastics, also technology advances very quickly, with stem cell research , the manufacture of robots that in the future could help sectors such as construction, although this could pose a problem because surely these robots will leave millions of people without work.
ResponderEliminarOn the other hand, this world has a problem that can get worse, and
is that with the evolution of technology and the use of video consoles, televisions ...
Other healthier habits such as sport are being stopped.
Another problem in this world is pollution, since there are people who are very little aware.
Although aside from these problems, I don't think the world is changing for the worse.
Diego Armando Maradona was born in "LANUS" on 30 October 1960, the late25th of November 2020 was an Argentine footballer and coach. He was known for the best. He won a World Cup in 1986.
ResponderEliminarHis nationality was argentia, the average 1 meter and 70 centimeters. He was wearing number 10.
And they call him God.
Every day in our world, machinery and technologies are evolving, which evolve to good changes, but also to bad changes.These changes have advantages and disadvantages, which are the following:
ResponderEliminarToday there are many machines that we use in the field, such as the machines that we use to remove grass, to transport the fruit ... many farmers appreciate these machines because they save hours of work and it is easier for them.
For example, in offices, thanks to technological evolution to send, find and publish information thanks to the internet and computers and mobiles, they can make their work more comfortable.
Thanks to the evolution of technology, it facilitates us communication and being in contact with anyone who is anywhere in the world.
Machinery and technology will evolve more and more, that is, every day it evolves, for example, automobiles to electric cars, such as the use of biodegradable plastics, the manufacture of robots that in the future could help sectors such as construction, transport with the use of robots ...
But evolution also has disadvantages, the evolution of technology such as the use of computers, cell phones, video consoles ... can cause problems such as people who stay at home playing video consoles without socializing and without going out on the street.
The manufacture of robots and their use in the sectors, could put many people out of work.
In conclusion, I think that change and evolution is good, but we have to know how to use new technologies well, because if we misuse it it can cause problems.

ResponderEliminarOne thing that all of us know is that nowadays our world is changing constantly in a lot of aspects, and some are good changes, but there are also bad changes, and I'm going to talk about these changes.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, we have a lot of good changes, for example nowadays we have a lot of machines that make our lives easy, like all the machines that we use to work in the field, and that help all the farmers a lot. And we also have a lot of technology in our lives and this is good because we can find all the information that we need thanks to Internet, and we are always connected with each other through different types of messengers, and we can communicate with anyone in the world.
On the other hand we have all the bad things that the good things bring with them, for example the addiction that we have with mobiles or with the technology in general, if you go out into the street you can always see that almost all the people are using their mobile phones, and this addiction can make that a lot of people have several problems like isolation or other similar problems.
In conclusion, using technology is very good for the future, because in the future we must use the new technologies, but you need to know how we should use this technology, if not we can have a lot of problems and illnesses.

If we think about what our planet is nowadays, we don’t realise how it has changed in the last few years. Also, we don’t know how fast it is progressing. We cannot focus on one changing way. It results very difficult because all that we can think about is changing. In most of the cases, it means good news.
ResponderEliminarTechnology is the principal thing that is continuously evolving and on the one hand, what has completely changed our lives. Even though it may end up being something negative, it has improved our lives. During the lockdown its importance has been paramout, as we could only communicatewith others thanks to it. Besides, the motor industry is developing new ways to travel and new cars and vehicles, like hybrid or electric cars.
Nevertheless, there are things that are the same as from previous times. For instance, all the traditions that we still celebrate, like Christmas. At present, we do the same as many years ago, we gather with our family to have dinner and lunch the next day. Moreover, vintage fashion exists in many ways. For example, we can see in the street old vehicles and motorbikes, and also there are clothing trends that consist of wearing old clothes from the different decades
To sum up, I think that it is good that everything that surrounds us keeps improving to change our lives for the better. There are going to be people who don’t like it, but as long as it is for the better, changes can be good and necessary

ResponderEliminarIf we try to go back and remember what the world was like before, it is clear that it has changed a lot and so have we. We have grown up as a society and our way of seeing things has also changed. But, has this change been for the better or for the worse? Has the Coronavirus changed the world?
ResponderEliminarOur planet has suffered pandemics, wars, crisis and many other disasters throughout all these years. However, we have stayed together and we have moved forward. Moreover, those difficult situations have made us progress rapidly. For instance, the global flu epidemic of 1918 helped create national health services in many European countries.
On the other hand, the Coronavirus has made us take more drastic measures and has also made us advance in medicine and develop new technologies. In China drones searched for people without face masks and send the information to the police and at Harvard University a Covid-19 vaccine has been created, which has now been approved.
To sum up, I believe that all the events that have happened in recent years have changed the world for the better and has made us progress scientifically and as a society.
Our world is changing every day more, and all the changes are for our fault.
ResponderEliminarI think that most of what is happening are bad changes, because we don´t value the planet, because the beaches are full of rubbish; we take the car for everything, then we pollute a lot, etc.
During the quarantine we have decreased the pollution a lot because there were no cars in the street.
Now because of the pandemic i dont go to the street a lot, so I use social networks more, to be communicate with my family and my friends, something that I didn't do before.

the world is changing and that is in sight. Every day there are more robots that replace humans or even work for them, some make you do your work faster than that is good but others steal your work, many people are losing work for them. on the other hand they are making new cars that do not run on gasoline! For them the planet is polluting less and we save our planet
ResponderEliminarOur planet is changing and it’s because of us.
ResponderEliminarPeople pollute a lot of because we use car, we use plastic.
In the seas there are tons of plastic, that plastic is used by us.
I think that we should recycle because it is the best for the planet.
During confinement we have seen that the level of pollute has decreased because people haven’t used cars etc.

Diego Armando Mradona was one of the best football players in history. He was Argentine and won a World Cup with his national team, that World Cup is well known for his famous goal with his hand. He juiced at Boca Juniors, then in Barcelona, Naples and finally Seville.He was short, his skin was white, he had very curly hair, and his eyes were brown. He was one of the best players in history and always will be, Diego Armando Maradona.

That the world is changing is normal because life in it has also evolved. 200 years ago people communicated by letter, they went everywhere on foot or on horse, the streets weren't paved, there weren't many advances that now . The climate change just existed or didn't exist but today there are more people, forests are cut down to create luxurious buildings and hotels, everyone goes to work by car or motorcycle and there are many advances, for example: telephones than just giving an emoji in a phone you can see your grandfather who lives kilometers from you or the plane that in just two or three hours of travel you can be somewhere that used to take days to arrive, but we have to be aware of that we must avoid climate change and not destroy something as important as the world.
ResponderEliminarLUCÍA FERNÁNDEZ QUIRÓS 4ºA
The world is always changing and will have to change.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion I think that what is going to evolve the most is technology, which has already evolved a lot.
years ago they did not have television, nor did they have a mobile ...
I think life is much easier now than before.
I think that people should pollute less, throwing less garbage on the street, taking public transport instead of the car ...
So, if the world had less pollution, I think it would be wrong, that's why we have to try to take care of the world because if not, we are going to end it.

The world changes constantly and very quickly and it is not only changing because of the coronavirus but also because of many other things such as technology that has advanced very quickly such as the invention of mobile, electrical appliances, and many other things, years ago did not exist None of this, to send a message to another person you had to write by letters and it took a long time to reach the other person.
ResponderEliminarFor this reason the world has changed for the better, but there are also many problems that the advancement of the world entails, for example in technology there are mobiles, consoles, computers that we can become addicted and not do anything other than play.
In conclusion, I think that the world has evolved for the better but we must know how to use these advances for good.
In the world of football there are many legends.
ResponderEliminarFor me the best are: Messi, Ronaldo Nazario and Neymar.
Now there are only two playing. Messi is playing for Barsa and Neymar is playing for Paris Saint Germain.
My favourite is Neymar because he has fun when he plays, but that's very difficult to do.
I wish I was a football legend but that's very difficult.
I love football, it's my favourite sport.

It doesn't take much research to realize that the world is changing, but not just because of the pandemic. The main change that we see right now on the planet is the pandemic that we are experiencing. This pandemic has changed our entire lifestyle, in all aspects. We can also see how people are helping this change, for example doctors or nurses, that is, health personnel, has been latent throughout this pandemic to help us and that this ends as soon as possible by putting their own lives at stake.
ResponderEliminarAnother change that can be seen is climate change. This is one of the most important changes since little by little we are killing the planet and we will run out of it. Climate change and all this pollution that we are creating is affecting both the poles, animals and ourselves, what's more, air pollution is already considered one of the most frequent causes of death.
We also find a change in technology, since little by little it is being included in all areas of our lives, even in medicine. One of the most frequent questions that many people ask is how far we are going to go with technology, but that will never really be answered.
In conclusion, we can see that the world is changing almost without realizing it, in some cases for the better and in others, many for the worse, and these should be slowed down if we want to continue as we are.
This world is true that due to new technologies, discoveries, more and more is being known about our planet, the species that compose it and also from outside it, with so much progress they want to send people to space as if it were a trip, They also want to go to Mars although they have already been but with a robot, this is another thing that is evolving very fast although perhaps in the future it will leave us without many jobs.The best invention I have heard recently is a plastic that decomposes and can serve as fertilizer or food for fish, this is a great invention to start treating the planet better and I hope that this planet will progress for the better, in my opinion with inventions so we can.

ResponderEliminarI love using emoticons! I find it a cool and funny way to express our emotions. They make the text funnier and more remarkable. Also, we can use them like a way to decorate photos, conversations, texts…
ResponderEliminarThere are different types of emoticons. It depends of the brand. When you use emoticons other people can know what brand you have. For example, if you have a mobile Samsung your emoticons will be different that if you have a mobile Apple. That’s not important but is funny to combine different emoticons.
Also, we can make emoticons with points, parenthesis… I love it! ��
