Topic 2) Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer?

Teachers, are they necessary?

I always have preferred to have a teacher but it is true that sometimes the teachers cannot pay attention to all their students in the best way. For that reason, some students prefer to learn by themselves at home. How good is that?


To start (with), it is easier to pay attention in a classroom than at home. Why? Well, (the) internet. (The) internet can be a very useful tool but also a good distraction. In a classroom, with someone talking to you, you are unlikely to lose your concentration.


My advice? Mix it, go to school, pay attention, learn and then go home and do some extra work to keep fresh your learnings (fresh) or even increase it(them).

Topic 2.) People live more happily these days than our parents’ or grandparents’ generation

It is a well-known fact that nowadays people have more facilities in many situations in their life, which helps to life happier. It this god as it seems?


In one hand(On the one hand), our society has evolved a lot. We have a bunch of technology to facilitate our daily days(everyday life) and people have more open mentality about current social movements. It is easier to meet new friends and life(live) great experiences. In summary we can say that everyone is happier.


On the other hand, all this technology helps people to be lazier; we are able to obtain practically everything without any efforts. Many people have “correct thought” in order to look better in front of the society but they are probably thinking the opposite, or they just have these thoughts to feeling better with themselves.


In conclusion, a lot of people maybe only think that they are happy because they can have all what they want, meet a lot of friends and have the correct thoughts.
