WRITING AN ESSAY

Living in a foreign country has its pros and its cons but even with its cons it is a great experience that everyone must have. There are a lots of reasons that make you think about going abroad such as the lenguage you will learn, friends, etc. If you do not know where to go or how to look for the trip, we will talk about it later.

When you go abroad you are going to know a new culture, new ways of life and also you will learn how to get on with them. Of course, you will know friends and with them you will find new places, not olny because of sightseen, but also because of parties. Then you will have the opportunity to achieve issues than you could never discover if you do not go to a foreign country.

If you have decided to go aboad you must think about the options you have. On the one hand, you can go for working, but you must dominate the lenguage that is spoken in the country. On the other hand you can go for studying a course so that you learn the lenguage and you also travel as a tourist. Finally, you can go just as a tourist and enjoy the country but, to afford that you need to earn money. 


To conclude,  travelling arround the world is an opportunity that, even it has its difficulties, it is worth it; not only because of the culture you will learn, but also because the improvement of the lenguage you will achieve.

THE STRUCTURE OF AN ESSAY- Thesis statement

If your parents get divorced, a new life comes to you: the way you think about love, your home economy and also your everyday life will change. These difficulties that children have to suffer from, are, unnecessary it parents got on well.

PROBLEM/SOLUTION - Composition

The fact that there are overcrowded classrooms not only affect students who are trying to learn, but also teacher that would like to teach in a comfortable way. Tere is a long list of problmes that this issue developes shus as the noise, reduced seats, less interation with partners and the teacher, etc. But every problem has its solution.

If there is a classroom in which there are a lot of students nothing productive will happen. The problmen that anoy the most is the noise. An overcrowded classroom is far more noisy than one tha its not; it can bring difficulties not only for listenning to the teacher, also for teaching and speaking fluently, without wasting time to call the atention of the students.

In order to solve this problem, there are some ideas that I propose such as: increase the number of teachers, or on the contrary , decrease the number of people in a classroom; for instance, in an interactive class, students could be divided in two parts to make easier the speaking part and to let the teacher answer all the questions.

To conclude, this is an issue that unfortunately everyone has suffered at least once in his or her life but what we have to do is not just detect the problem, we must solve ir with strategies and carefully, trying to do our best.

PROBLEM/SOLUTION PARAGRAPH

Smoking in public areas is a problem that not only affect non-smokers, also the smokers. It is forbbiden to smoke in restaurants and cafes, but what about terraces?  For me it is a problem to meet in a terrace and smoke in front of friends that do not smoke. There are lots of them that do not care about it but there are other that I have to respect to. This issue affects our friendship too much. In order to solve this trouble, smokers, including me, should go away from them and smoke pacefully without annoying anyone. Another solution is to give up smoking but in general it is more difficult than respecting. So, if smoking is an issue that maes trouble in your surrounding, take kare and try to do your best to solve it, because the problem is yours.

CONTRAST/COMPARATIVE PARAGRAPH - Advantages and disadvantages

Having a job while studying at the University has pros and cons. If you are studying and at the same time working, you won´t have too much time to prepare your exams perfectly, but you have to consider the point that you could earn money for travelling or for going out with friends without asking for money to your parents. On the contrary, going out is another disadvantage that jobs have, if you do both things at the same time you have to realise that your free time will be reduced. So, if you are thinking about studying and working simultaneously you should think aboyt this issues very carefully.
