Some of the richest people in the world are involved in the fashion world. They are important designers such as Vitorio and Luckino or Prada, who have created their own clothe companies and style. However, this world has a dark face and we can find an example of it in Amancio Ortega: He is the lead of Inditex and he has created an empire, but because of slavery.
Many are the news about the bad conditions in which Inditex´s workers work. They are not only people from Asia, but also from South America (Brasil, Venezuela...) The news and articles which I have read, said that the whole families work in very small rooms, without water and electricity. They work a lot of hours and they are paid a misery. Personally, I felt much dissappointed, because I really liked buying clothe in Stradivarius or Berska. In fact, I only purchased my clothe from Inditex.
Of course, there are more companies which exploit people from poor countris, such as Nike, Adidas... It is said that all companies use people and people tell me that it is stupid if I don´t want to buy my cloth in those shops. By contrast, I hope that there are some companies which treat well their workers.
To sum up, the world is in the hands of people that want to earn more and more money, such as Amancio Ortega. They do whatever they need to get money without spending much. So, their empires are built with the pain of the poor people.

As a book says: ``The winter is coming´´; and with it the Christmas holidays. This is a season which many people enjoy. The families meet and the friends go out, a lot of dinners are celebrated and children are looking forward to the arrival of Saint Claus. However, someone is not very happy: The university students. When these holidays are near, all the students think that they won´t have holidays because they have to study, but you will be able to fancy them if you organise your time.
Some students study when the course begins, so they won´t feel overwhelmed when the holidays start. It is true that this way is very hard or maybe you don´t have many free time. Despite that, if you practise what the teachers have explained you and read your class notes everyday, you will feel calmer than a person who hasn´t done it.
Added to this, other young people decide to begin with thei homework when the holidays begin. You have had a good course, with a lot of free time. You have been able to go to parties and meet with your friends. The negative part is that you have to learn all what you left for the last moment in a month. There are many subjects and books for reading. Therefore, you believe that it is impossible to study everything and you are desperate.
To sum up, you have two ways of studying when you at the university. The hardest solution is the first one, but I think it is the best because you will even be able to enjoy some days of Christmas if you want to. Meanwhile, the second solution is the most comfortable at the beginning, but in the end, it is the worst.

Comparison between drawing and writing

As person who really loves art, I wouldn´t be able to decide between a picture or a book. They have their similarities and differences, of course but the most important and the principal thing they have in common is: They transmit you a message.
Drawing or painting were the first way of communication for humans, while writing were developed with the time in important cultures like Egypte, Mayas, Rome...On the one hand,when you draw the public can see what you want to express. There are not words to explain it. Simply the picture´s power is very strong and it catchs you. On the other hand, when you write the reader can feel the character´s emotions and feelings. It seems that you are there, in the middle of the book, living their lives and adventures. But as everything, they have a negative part; because a picture can´t tell you with words what it really means, and to understand a book you need to use your imagination.
To sum up, these arts are some the most amazing and perfect manners of communication of the humanity. Without them, our lives would be totally different.

Essay: Doramas

When I was younger, people thought that I was strange and a friki. I guess that they had reason, but definitely I am more happy being as I am really. I have always been an ``otaku´´ of manga and anime. Cartoons such as ``Naruto´´or ``Detective Conan´´ have marked my childhood. When I grew up, I continued watching them, but I discovered something new: ``Doramas´´. Despite someone can believe, dorama are much more interesting than a simple soap drama and many TV series.
First of all, I am explaining what a dorama is exactly. ``Dorama´´ is a word to select all Oriental´s series and soap dramas. There are many kinds: comedy, mystery, drama, fiction, fantasy... Personally, I preferer doramas which treat about comedy, modern life, history and fantasy. There are so many that you will never be bored of them. Most importantly, the sex is much less frequently than European and American dramas, which is sometimes a relief. In my opinion, in those series too sex appears, only to get more audience. It sucks.
The first dorama I watched was ``Hana Yori Dango´´. This dorama was based on the manga and anime with the same name. I saw it because I didn´t find the manga or anime, so I decided to watch it. There are a lot of versions of ``Hana Yori Dango´´. This one is the Japanese version, the second one I saw was the Korean: ``Boys Before Flowers´´(I know, I know, the name is not very serious, but well...). Also there are a Chinese and a Taiwanes version of this fantastic story.
Since then, I couldn´t stop watching and I became an addict to them. I have seen so much that I can´t remember all the names: ``You´re beautiful´´, ``Coffee Prince´´, ``My fair Lady´´, ``Lie to me´´, ``Secret´´,``Marry me, Mary´´... At the moment, I´m finishing with one whose name is ``Empress Ki´´. At the beginning, this one didn´t attract me much, but in a few episodes I was totally addicted; and in less of three weeks I have almost seen the 51 episodes.
To conclude, ``dorama´´ is a TV serie which is from Asian. Some of them are inspired in historical facts, mangas, in real life...There are a lot and if you decide to watch one of them, you will run the risk of being an addict as I am now.

This was the video with which I discover this fantastic dorama

Writing: Who said that family is easy?

Dear readers:

It is known that having a good relation with your parents when you are a teenager sometimes is very difficult. You can think your point of view is the only correct. In addition to your parents never understand you. However, you should have an open mind. In this report, we are talking about some topics to discuss with your parents during the lunch.

Generally parents believe that their children are indifferent to the problems and teenagers do not take seriously them, such as the economy, justice… By contrast, young people are often interested in those topics, so these ones could be discussed. The whole family will be able to discover new interesting facts, although they do not agree.

If you want to talk about other issues because you believe someone of the family could fight with another, you can speak about music, some films to watch, books, etc. The principal objective is having a nice chat and showing that family´s members are able to keen on the same things.

Moreover, children will realize that they do not only look like their parents; but come to the conclusion that they share some opinions. Parents can be asked by their children how their day was in the job. As a result, the relation between them will improve and their confidence too.

To sum up, it is clear that to get a close-knit family is not always easy. The process to avoid a dysfunctional family is based on conversation, calm and above all, on look up to everybody´s opinions. We hope this report will be useful for you.

Not a trend

Introduction: If we pay attention carefully to the history, we will notice that it has a dark hidden world. The humanity has always been scared of this world. Werewolves, witches, mermaids whose melody appeals the ingenuous mariners, demons which attack the people, ghosts and vampires. They are not a teenager´s fad, they are much more. Their history is so interesting that we can´t denny the attraction we have felt to them.
Conclusion: Therefore, although they don´t exist, a fact is clear: The humanity has been influenced by them little time ago. When something strange happened, the fault was of them, because people didn´t have any explanations for the odd things. With the time, they have become our way of escaping. They represent all we can´t be. All we would like to be.
