Social network

In today's life is very difficult to do not have access to social networks. I almost can not imagine how the world would be, even though just for a week, if we have not our notebooks and smartphones.

The fact is that there are in social networks a bunch of necessities like jobs, studies, entertainment, communications, etc.. In terms of history, the internet is very young but the numbers of users have been growing increasingly.

I used to think that this evolution is very important to the humankind, eleven that now we can participate in many fields like politics or education in virtual environments. That provides more integrations among people around the world and makes the processes quicker, more dynamic and even fun for the youngers.

Of course, there are some reasons that make some people think differently from me. I understand them, by the reason that in many circumstances it can separate people, making them live just the virtual world and almost forget the exist a real one or even because there are crimes online, which makes many people afraid of using it.

To conclude, in my opinion, it is crucial to know how to divide the time to do not have problems with these important tools. We have to be aware of many good possibilities that it can bring for us and, at the same time, use it consciously.

Defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses

Improving our speaking and writing has to do with how much we know about the language we speak. There is a good reason to study grammar deeper. The present essay intends to do a brief explanation of two interesting and very useful grammar topics: defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses. First of all, we may distinguish when we use these two types of clauses: defining relative clauses are used when some information is important to specify what is being talked about. On the other hand, non-defining relative clauses are used when this information is not relevant or is only additional. An interesting characteristic is that this last one always uses commas. Relative clauses are sometimes referred to as adjective clauses. They are constructed by using relative pronouns such as "that", "which", "who", "whom", "whose" etc. in order to refer to people or things in a sentence. It is important to remember that we do not u...

The legal age for drinking alcohol

Worldwide many countries have differents rules about the ideal age for drinking alcohol. The arguments vary among people who think that the right age is 18; others believe that 19 should be better, whereas it is a half term. Differently, some people agree that 21 is the correct age for young adults to drink. People who are pro decreasing the limit age for drinking usually stand their opinions saying that increasing is not an effective strategy to avoid youth to do it. They believe that this issue should be prevented by educational programs to provide information about the risks of alcoholism. On the other hand, people who hold on that the prohibition age should be increased, argue that alcohol brings others issues attached to it - traffic accidents, unplanned pregnancy and criminality for example. As far as I am concerned, this is not a simple debate in which we have right or wrong points of views. Both have their reasons and concerns. Even though, personally, I think that there is m...
