Dialogue - Eric Balseiro López

Eva and Edu, on the way to school, where they work, called Jesuïtes El Clot, are talking about the advantages and disadvantages of online platforms such as Megadede. Eva: I’m a frequent user of this types of services, Megadede is like a subscription streaming without paying, if you want to watch any movie whenever you want, you should download these types of applications. Will you download it? Edu: Well, I don't quite agree with you. I must admit that this can help you at any time, because at the moment you want to have access to a movie you can have it on your device, but on this platform the films are published illegally and they have to be at all times making status updates so that the police do not catch them, and in my opinion this type of applications should be forbidden. Eva: Do you really think so? When you register you do not have to put your personal data, then you are not in danger, and the only disadvantage is that you often have to s...

Opinion Essay - Paula Fernández

"Charity work should not be needed today, people should look after themselves" It is generally agreed that  the charity is necessary to be able to coexist in this life, although there has always been that debate of whether it is necessary or not. Today I come to give my opinion on it.  On the one hand, charity is an attitude that comes out to humans to help people, for exemple, when a person lives on the street, you help by giving them money or food. And that virtue is very good, because it makes you feel better person. On the other hand, charity is sometimes put as a priority, and if you don't like to help people, you are a selfish person or without feelings, just because you care about yourself.  In my opinion, I think that charity is a very positive virtue, but it is not necessary to have it so present, because not everyone likes to help people

Eric: Wow!  Però I suppose they do it because the platform has a limited space. John: I guess, but it would be nice if they added a section with the sèries and movies that are going to eliminate that week Eric: well may...
