In our English classes early in the morning we have got a big problem we haven't solved so far: Certain students arrive, put their schoolbags on their desks and are out like a light as soon as Albert starts talking. After some research a fact has shed light on this problem: our students don't have enough (or anything at all) for breakfast!!! Will there be light at the end of the tunnel? I hope so. After reading this post maybe our students will see the light and stop giving no importance to breakfast. Here you've presented with 4 expressions connected with light. You can check the meaning of each of them just below in the English in a Minute section.

WHY TTRAVELLING IS WORTH IT
ResponderEliminarTravelling is the best way for enjoy and learn. I really belive that travelling changes your point of view from others countries. In my opinion travelling is the best way to make new friends.
To begin with, when we travel, we learn about other cultures, and diferent lifestyles. For instance, when I visited England, I tried local dishes and I meet new friends to know their daily life.
Secondly, travelling allows us to know more lenguages from others countries and know the history from those countries.
To conclude, travelling is a wonderfull experience. From my point of view, travelling is amazing to learn and socialize.

Have you ever wondered about the lifestyle in Spain? The living standard is very good, we have a lot of traditions and tourists love this country. Also Spanish people are very friendly.
ResponderEliminarSpain has a good living standard because it has a nice climate, the Mediterranean diet and free education. Moreover, many regions has a very interesting culture, and traditions that make a social life richer. Thanks to this Spain often seen as a countru with a high level of well-being.
On the other hand, one of the most important problems is unemployment, specially for young people, beause many have economic problems or unnstable jobs. yet, there are differences between regions, in some areas unemployment is much worse.
From my point of view, Spain offers a good quality of life but unemployment is still an important problem.
