<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are some people who think that our happiness depends on the personality you are born with. Opposite to them, <b><span style="color: red;">there </span></b>are those who think that it is not a born question.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In life there are to many different factors which change our personality. For example, money. Obviously money does not make happiness, but it is also true that be poor could be a reason to be more sad than happy. Secondly, health. It is another important factor in life (and is <b><span style="color: red;">relacionated </span></b>(associated) with money somehow).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you do not have a good health, you are heading to a worst life; it is a fact. Despite <span style="color: red;"><b>that</b></span>, you can find people in the world who have not got good health and try to do their best in their pursuit of happiness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To sum up, I think that whether you are happy or not does not depends on the personality you are born with, but on the factors which compose life. And the most important, it depends on how you deal with the negative factors that may come.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is it true. We can not deny that technology is everywhere in our society and it has changed people's lives. How? In many different ways.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For example, medical science has changed a lot because of technology. Thanks to it, nowadays we have new medical treatments which are more helpful to save people's lives. Then, we could say that somehow technology is saving lives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Internet is another area (in my opinion the most important) where technology has changed our ways of live. We can not imagine our lives without mobile phones, without laptops nor without televisions. Generally, technology's changes are positives, because help us to have a better life. But it is also true that too many people is getting addicted to the new technological<b><span style="color: red;">s</span></b> devices (pc games for example), and this is obviosly not good for our society.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To sum up, technology has changed our lives and I think that generally has made people's lives better. And the most important, if we are concerned about how to use it, it could make our lives almost perfect!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subject: Work with me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey Jan! How are you? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I write you to ask you a big favour, which I hope you like. Do you remember that I explained you that last summer I worked at an International Camp in France? They run it this year again and I have decided to work there again, because I had a great experience. But this summer I want you to come with me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have re<b><span style="color: red;">a</span></b>d the advertisement for the job and I found a difference: this year the camp is run for 8 to 12 years-old childrens and last year it was for 6 to 10 years-old. It is even better!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our help would be with the outdoor activities, with the entertainment and with the games and sports competitions. I can tell you that help with this is really funny. And the best thing is that it is only 5 hours' work a day! The rest of the day is free time for us (we can go swimming, visit the zone which is a beautiful one...).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The accom<span style="color: red;"><b>m</b></span>odation is free (in our tents) like the food (which is not the best... but it is free!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you say? Do you want to work with me?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Best regards,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Money and love, some of the most important things in our society. The sentence which says that 'Money can buy everything' is a good one to start a discussion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the one hand it is true that money is really important, because we need it to eat, to live and some times to study. But there are some things we can not buy: friends, a family and, of course, love. In fact, these things are the only ones which rest even <span style="color: red;"><b>when</b></span> you are broke.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But on the other hand, is it true that we can not buy love? Maybe we can not buy the feeling of love, but it is true that some people are attracted <b style="color: red;">by</b> (to) money. And I can not deny that are people who only starts a relationship if the 'loved' person is rich enough.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my opinion, there is nothing better than true love, and the last one option I wrote is not true love. Only is true the one which <b><span style="color: red;">remains </span></b>(keeps) when you have no money. Otherwise, it is not true love. But I know people who would start a relation with someone just because of his/her richness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In conclus<b><span style="color: red;">s</span></b>ion, money can buy some love. The love of those who think that money is more important than love. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From: Daniel</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Subject: Touring holiday in Reus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey David! How are you? It has been so long since the last time we talk. It is nice to know you still remember me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am also glad you thought of me to help your friends in their visit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To help them with their touring I have to say that my city, which is Reus, is not big but it is not little neither. In my opinion it has the perfect size: a medium city.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is true that Reus has not got beach, but it is near (Tarragona is just 12km away from mi city, and it has some beautiful beach with perfect landscapes). <span style="color: red;"><b>Even </b></span>(Although)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> it has not got beach, Reus is a Mediterranean style city (I guess you know what this style is about).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you ask me about places to visit, I would tell you that the most emblematic place is the 'Mercadal's Square', 'Plaça del Mercadal' in catalan. It has not got anything special, but there is where local people m<span style="color: red;"><b>e</b></span>et their friends, where you can drink a Vermut (a typical drink)... summarizing, it has a perfect ambient to spend the morning. Also are nice<span style="color: red;"><b>s</b></span> places 'la Plaça del Prim', 'la Plaça de la Llibertat' and go shopping is a good idea in this city.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And about the best way to travel around my city... I think it is just walking. On other case, by bike, but car or coach is not a good idea (unless you want to visit the suburbs).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you ask me if we are dependent on computers, my answer is an enormous yes. We are too much dependent on they. In fact, the first thing I did today when I woke up was to switch on the computer and update my social networks. But, in addition, computers are used everywhere nowadays: schools, hospitals...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the one hand I think it is alright, because it is a progress. Some years ago, doctors and teachers for exemple, <span style="color: red;">must </span>(had to) to handwrite everything, and now they do it all by computers, lo<span style="color: red;">o</span>sing less time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But on the other hand, to be dependent on anything is never a good option. What would happen if tomorrow all the computers of the world crash down? Panic! I can not imagine our society without computers, so definitely we are dependent on they. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To sum up: are we dependent of computers? Yes. And it is not a good thing. So what can we do? Use them to keep progressing and hope they never crash down!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nowadays, every day is really different to the past one. Technology has changed our life's routines, and other factors like mobile phones or the video games <span style="color: red;">have </span>created and still creates a new way of life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some people, most of them doctors, argue that now kids and young people don't play as they used in its youth. And I agree with them, because in our times most of teenagers spend its free time at home instead of going out and playing on the streets. It carries with it problems as obesity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I think that because of this enormous changes, we are learning to eat better and have a healthy style of life. I mean, nowadays, at schools, our kids learn which groups of meat, fruits or milk derivated can be eated twice at day, only once, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Summing up, in my opinion technology changes are leading us to an unhealt<span style="color: red;">h</span>y future. But at the same time, to make more inoffensive<span style="color: red;">s</span> the effects of this changes, we are improving our knowledge about the healt<span style="color: red;">h</span>y style of life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First of all I have to say that, in my opinion, every personal situation is absolutely different to any other. What I want to say is that every person is a different case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also different is the enjoy you have with your family and the one you have with your pack of friends. On the one hand I prefer and I enjoy more spending time with my family playing games like Bingo. But on the other hand I enjoy more with my friends when it is about talking or going out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Many people say that when the dark comes, I mean, when bad days come, you only have your family by your side. But I am not agree at all, because I think that some friend can be closer to you than even your parents and be your lifeguard when you are in troubles. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To sum up I want to repeat what I wrote firstly: every case is different. Personally I argue that family is more important. Maybe it is because they, my parents and my whole family, inspire me security. I also have really good friends I trust on, but they are less than all the components of my family.</span></div>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My favourite place of my city, Reus, is the mine square, the Mercadal Square. You can find it in the center of the city and I like it because it's very central and becouse all the parties of the town are in this square.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In this square are this parties: "la Tronada", in Christmas the town hall put the Christmas tree, a Christmas maket, concerts, St. Jordi...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because sometimes it's too busy, in the Christmas holidays too people visit the place and I don't like it very much.</span><br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Cristmas tree in Chistmas in Mercadal Square</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The square have this name because in the past, at XI century when Reus was the 2nd most important city in Catalonia, it was the square of the market (Mercadal comes from mercat, and mercat mining market). </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In his history, this famous place of Reus haves diferents names, like "de la Constitución", it means "The Constitution" or "de España", in english, "of Spain". </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The market is celebrated every year</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But now his name is "Mercadal" in memory to the farmers sold his products in the square in the past. In XIV century, the king Jaume II authorized the market and it was open until 1948. Now, every year after the Sant Pere's party, the people celebred a market inspired in the market of one century ago. In this market, all the people dress like the people dress 50 years ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In this square are some famous emblematic symbols of Reus, like the Navas house or the hall, with her famous clock. </span></div>
