Opinion paragraph (P.E)

     Someone that I like and people don't is Álvaro Arbeloa (player of Real Madrid). People say he is not a good player and do not know why is he playing at Real Madrid and I tell them that if he is there is for a reason. He is not the best player in the world but they underestimate him. Even so, there are some people (like me) who consider that Álvaro represents perfectly the 'madridism'. He has won everything that a player can win in a club. Just a few consider him as the real captain of the team. Also, I find him really attractive and stunning. Outside the field, he is a great person, very supportive with those who need it more. So he is one of my favorite players due to his personality and everything he has achieved, although for some he is an oaf.

Knowing a suicide? Part 3




     Damn! The girl was floating. I repeat: I wasn't drugged, or so I thought. I took out of my pocket quickly a pack of cigarettes that I had previously purchased to check that none of my colleagues had put some cocaine or ecstasy inside. Everything seemed normal, but nothing was normal at the same time, there was a person floating! And when I say floating, it's not touching the ground with her feet. However, my face could not help but raise an eyebrow sightly. I had learned to hide my emotions.

To cap it all, she put out my cigarette without even touch it. I didn't understand anything.-Keep calm, Verona, it's just your imagination.-I muttered to myself. I didn't accept anything. I didn't take nothing out of the ordinary. That city was increasingly strange. I looked at what I thought was a 'mirage' and relit the cigarette. She told me I was a Neanderthal.-Look girl, I'll be a Neanderthal but you are not normal. You are a witch, that's what you are.-And then I showed a broad and false smile.-If you can fly why didn't you go away when you were on the ridge?-I asked with great irony in my voice. That girl, or whatever it was, was getting on my nerves. I had seen many strange things, but nothing like that.-Or better, why don't you fly out of here and leave me alone?.-She would really do me a favor. I wanted to forget her feet, which, if I didn't tell you, didn't touch the ground. She was a freak.

Composition + quotes

     Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, William Bonin...all these men have something in common: they were sentenced to death. In the United States, capital punishment is legal in 32 states, but is it necessary?Obviously, a person who is in jail for stealing or drug dealing does not deserve the death penalty, but a person who has killed another (or more) for fun or for any other reason, he deserves. This also would make the crime decrease due to subsequent punishment.

     As I see it, guilty people deserve to be punished in proportion to the severity of the crime, and in the case of murderers, they deserve the death. Many people fear these murderers to leak or to repeat their actions, so they support the death penalty. Furthermore, there is no risk of convicting an innocent person because of the existence of legal guarantees, for example, appeals. The death penalty is, in economic terms, more cost-effective than the alternatives.

     To summarize, the death penalty is a punishment that deserve only those who have killed and that has been banned in many places and been replaced by an equivalent alternative. Any punishment is a good way of doing justice. Obviously, one can be more accurate than the other ethically speaking, or more economically viable.

Introduction/Conclusion

Introduction
     Crying is good both physically and emotionally. If we did not have the capacity to cry, we would have many eye problems due to the composition of tears, which keep the eye moist. Moreover, tears are also emotional. When we cry, we are expressing many emotions: love, anger, pain, sadness, joy... feelings that perhaps we could not express in another way.

Conclusion
     To conclude, I would like to add that we should not feel ashamed of crying in front of people, in my opinion is brave. If we feel like crying, we should not restrict us emotionally. Tears protect our sight and also stir our feelings.

Thesis Statement

     People in Spain tend to confuse the terms 'Muslim' and 'terrorist'. They should know how to differentiate a word of another, as many Muslims are against jihadist terrorism. A person can be a good Muslim without resorting to terrorism or any kind of extremism.

Complete essay (P.E)

     Have you ever watch a catwalk or fashion adverts? You may have noticed that the girls appearing in this events are perfect and stunning. Actually, I think that models do not represent real women and should not be society's idea of beauty.

     Think about Bar Refaeli, Miranda Kerr or Irina Shayk...and now think about your sister or that girl at the bus stop. If we compare both kind of women, most of men would choose the ''perfect'' ones. I disagree, I think that having scars, acne, big feet or a small mouth is beautiful.

     In fact, this models are too thin and women who see them would probably say to themselves that they are fat when this is completely false. This happens mostly to teenagers and it can cause many disorders like anorexia. Also, clothes brands use women with a normal size as ''plus size'' models although they do not suffer obesity. 

     Obviously, we all know that obesity is a problem but people call ''fat'' to other people that are normal. As I see it, if you are not a Victoria's Secret's angel you are not beautiful to the eyes of society.

     As a conclusion, I would like to say that every woman is fantastic in one way or another. I have a friend that is ''fat'', but she is the most spectacular women I have ever seen, her face is perfect but, as I said before, she is ''fat''.
