ResponderEliminarSmartphones are very useful, but they also have disadvantages. One problem is that people spend too much time on them. Many people use their phones for hours every day, which can be bad for their health, in that time they lose, they could do other healthier things with their families or friends. It can cause eye problems and less sleep.
Another problem is that smartphones can be very distracting. Students may use their phones in class instead of paying attention. Also, people sometimes look at their phones while walking or driving, which is dangerous.
Smartphones can be expensive. Many people buy new phones every year, and some models cost a lot of money.
In conclusion, smartphones are helpful, but they also have negative effects. It is important to use them responsibly.

Hello, I suggest that if you have the opportunity, you organize your time a little more. Sometimes it is useful to make a to-do list so that nothing important slips through the cracks. You could also try to get rid of some responsibilities, if possible, so that you don't get stressed out.

Nowadays, we live in a society which is charecterised by non-effort achievements. This means, people hope having results in few months without even working on them, in fact, it is shown that the 80% of people who try something without an accomplishment, decide to give up as soon as they fail.
ResponderEliminarI have learned from the very best athletes, that a winner is a person who has already lost several times before winning. For instance, Lionel Messi (considered by most people the GOAT of football) lost his first World Cup final against Germany in 2014. Consequently, he left the national team of Argentina, but few years after, he rejoined with the target of winning that trophy. Later, in 2022 he won it.
One of my favourites examples is the situation of Topuria's brothers. Both were born in Germany, but they lived in Georgia until they were 15 (this period were without their fathers, who were in Spain working), with the war situation. They told everyone they would be UFC World Champions one day, which might could be seen as more than a dream, just because they were too young and there, in Georgia (and after in Spain), weren't gyms to get prepared for those competitions. As all we know Ilia were champion last year, and the last month, Aleksandre made his debut in the UFC.
In my case, I also have dreams and aims, and people could call me crazy when I told them about it. Of course, one of them is getting the necessary mark to enter in Mathematics in Granada, and I can tell as a second bach student, that I'm facing many challenges this school year. However, one thing is true, if you want to get anywhere, you must be able to do anything to reach there.
So I inspire you to not give up never, and keep going, because if someone before you could do it, you could as well, and if anyone didn't, you could be the first.
As Ilia Topuria said: the tougher the challenge, the greater the glory.
