Some specialists say that it is good for children to have a pet of their own. However, there are arguments both for and against it.

One of the main advantages is that have a pet is good to children who haven't brothers because with it, they can play and have a close relationship. The pets provide company and also produce to children not feel alone.

On the other hand, having a pet is a big responsibility that children can't take over. Moreover, they are very exciting at first with the new pet but, as they grow, the feeling is increasingly indifferent.

On balance, I would say that children wouldn't have a pet since they are, at least, 14 years old because parents always end up taking care of them.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a pet for elderly people?

Publicado por Dani Morales Fernández |

Many people, when arriving at old age, opt for buying a pet. However, this decision has its pros and cons.

On one hand, one of the main advantages is that some animals such as dogs or cats can provide the company that people reaching this age desire. Furthermore, can avoid feeling bored because having a pet implies accomplishing a number of obligations as feeding the pet or taking it for a walk.

On the other hand, maintaining a pet is not as easy as it seems. Firstly, old people sometimes have trouble moving, so having to take the pet for a walk might be a difficult task to carry on with. Secondly, maintaining it and taking it to the vet for shots and, in case of illness, operating it is not cheap so not everybody can afford it.

All in all, I would say that although owning a pet has some disadvantages, is really positive for elderly people. Nevertheless, for the sake of the pet, they ought to ask themselves whether they are going to be able to accomplish with all the obligations before getting it.

Short story:

Super Boby.

This is the true story about Boby, a hero in his town for the simple reason of saving his master’s live.

One day, Antonio Velázquez, a farmer, took his cows to graze with a big bull because the caws were on heat. He left the cows with the bull and came back 3 hours later. Suddenly, when he apeared in the grazing field, the bull started to run toward him catching and hitting him. When everything seemed to be lost, Boby came running to save his master.

Super Boby started beating the big angry bull legs making him go back protecting Antonio to the death the bull left Antonio alone thanks to this dog, is also thanks to him that Antonio is still alive.This fact, the animal helper, makes me think about all that people who tortures animals turning into animals themselves in conclusion, give love to animals because animals are all love.

Discussion essay: Owning a pet

Publicado por Aloma R. |

Owning a pet is something common between the elderly. Nowadays, the streets are full of pet shops and even hairdressers for dogs and cats. However, owning a pet can have its pros and its cons for an old person.

In the one hand, a pet may be a good company for those old men and women who live alone. For an old person, finding hobbies can be difficult and owning an animal makes their every-day life less boring. In addition, owning a pet is an interesting way to make them feel responsible about something.

In the other hand, it might be difficult for someone old to take care of an animal, considering all that it implies: buying food and feeding it, taking it for a walk –in case it is a dog–… Moreover, for people with mobility problems, it can be a danger to have a pet in their house, as they could trip and fall.

Owning a pet is, indeed, a big responsibility but I still consider it a good idea for old people who like animals. Even the inconveniences of feeding and taking care of it, it can always be a good companion for those feeling lonely.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of owning a pet for children?

Publicado por Anna Martínez |

In most homes, where children live, there is also a pet. However, there are arguments both for and against it.

One of the main advantages is that children can interact with the pet and have more responsibility by having to deal with it. Another argument in favour for children owning a pet is that they learn whats is the love and they feel loved by the pet. Owning a pet is good for children with certain diseases because it is used as therapy.

On the other hand, depending on the type of pet they have, it can be dangerous for children and they are exposed to danger. Moreover, the child has not sufficient responsibility to take care of a pet, although this fact helps a little bit.

On balance, I would say that although they are positive in some ways of children's life, pets should be controlled when they are with them by the parents. However, I think that they are sometimes more affectionate that people.

"The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities"

Publicado por joan |

Before 1672, when gossip magazines showed up, there were just newspapers in which people could read interesting news about economics and politics. Nowadays, unfortunately, in the newstands, there are more gossip mazagazines than newspapers. They tell us the private life of famous people, althought they constantly ask pararazzo to stop.

In first place, press has always tried to call the atraction of the readers by publishing compromising information. In addition, sometimes they distort reality in order to earn a bigger amount of money. In my point of view, despite press has not the intention of hurting anybody, they do it unconsciously. They cause a lot of pain.

In second place, the people who surround famous people, family and friends, basically, can also be offended. Press are capable of making up an argument between a famous and a friend. This is a fact. Those people deserve some recpect too.

To sum up, I would like to say that press should not be always able to publish certain things that put into a embarrasing situation somebody. I think and support that famous people, as human beings they are, they must be respected and have their own intimate moments.

Post Scryptum:
I apologize for what happened in the previous essay.

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities’.

There is an open debate within our society, if whether press, has got the right to intrude on the private life of celebrities. Many are the arguments for and against it, but I can only say that I am not keen on paparazzi being constantly putting pressure on famous people.

First of all, I consider that every human being has got the right to privacy. Nowadays, it seems like if we had the right to meddle in people’s life and the press has gone wildly through its limits. I must admit though, that partially society has a lot to do with this. Since it is our desire to know from others life that causes this type of journalism.

Besides this, it seems to me that this kind of job ends up always badly. Let me explain, if we analyze many of the last fateful events, such as the death of Lady Diana Spencer, we can come to the conclusion that one of the reasons for it to happen, was the constant pressure that some well known people have to suffer.

To sum up, I affirm what I said at the beginning, the press has got to know were the limit line is and respect it. It makes things much easier and it doesn’t have that negative connotation.

Paparazzo have improved their method of photographing with the breakthrough in digital cameras, and with these cameras, they can do brilliant photos from far away. That is why paparazzo can photograph celebrities so easily, and they are continuously photographing famous people. I think the press have no right to publish photos and information about celebrities’ private life.

Firstly, celebrities have the right to their privacy, because paparazzi are following them all the day, is a constant pressure. For example, anyone would like to be photographed while shopping, going to the beach, eating...

Secondly, not only inform and take pictures, but also opine about the life they have, or what they do. The press is very subjective and also criticizes what celebrities do.

In conclusion, I think that some activities can be published, but some others have to be private. In my view, the press should photograph other things that are more important that the private life of celebrities.

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

Nowadays, celebrities have to be careful of their actions thanks to the yellow press. They publish photographs of celebrities in embarrassing moment. Furthermore, the celebrities seldom can complain. Personally, I think that without permission of the protagonist of the photograph, this type of publications that should be forbidden.
Firstly, it is well known that paparazzi go to great lengths to take a picture of a famous. They easily capture these pictures. Nevertheless, they rarely request permission, because they well know that the celebrity would frown on the publication of a photo in that situation.
Secondly, some photographers caught famous people in an awkward situation. For example, when they are in the beach doing topless or in a date. What is more, yellow press sometimes distorts the images.
In conclusion, I think that with a correct form and authorization, the publications may come out in the yellow press.

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

Publicado por Aloma R. |

At the beginning of journalism, the press was born with the aim to inform citizens about important happenings. However, due to the insatiable gossip-thirst of human beings, soon sensational magazines appeared too. Nowadays, these publications have completely invaded the private life of celebrities and I consider it a big mistake.

To begin with, celebrities may be famous and popular but they are just ordinary people like us. Behind the mask of a superstar, there is a person who has the right of privacy and deserves some respect on their private life. We should not care so much about other people’s marriages, divorces and problems, but live our own lives.

Secondly, this intrusion in the celebrities’ private life causes them conflicts and hurts their relationships. I believe it must be hard for a famous couple to find their argues published and discussed by everyone. Moreover, we have no right to criticise their decisions for no one is analysing ours.

For all these reasons, I consider these publications to be unnecessary and inappropriate. Celebrities have the right of privacy as much as we do and it should be strongly defended.

GREAT!!!

The press has the right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

We all know that celebrities are a source of news nowadays. People enjoy knowing about them without limit and without respecting their privacy. Many famous cannot avoid seeing how different media sources intrude into their lives without being able to do anything about it. Although it is believed that fame leads to press pressure inevitably, I argue with celebrities.

Firstly, we all ought to have the liberty of deciding either making public our lives public or not. As a result, the paparazzo industry should agree celebrities' decision and respect it. To sum up, (not here) we all should care more about ourselves and let everyone live their life.

Secondly, we all must be conscious about how ~~many~~ much money our gossiping produces until the extreme point of having created such a big industry as the paparazzo is. We should not permit that some privileged earn money at our expense just for our anxiety of knowing about others' life.

In conclusion, I am convinced that press should not be able to publish whatever they decide and even less modifying real facts in order to generate morbidity. I feel that celebrities, as every human being, must be respected and able to preserve their privacy.

The press has the right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities.

Nowadays, in our country is more followed a Tv program about celebrities than a cientific report. People prefers to know what happens with B.Esteban sentimental life than the improvements of cientifical world what is, in my opinion, a shame.

Taking the place of a celebrity, i can understand them, but the power of the society and the public media is stronger ,moreover, the high amount of money that Tvs earn with the private life of celebrities, makes impossible to finish with this discusting bussines.

It is a reality that paparazzi would not exist if people did not follow those tipical tele5 programs.The public harassment that celebrities suffer seems to be justified by, how not, the money.

In conclusion, i have to say that we can have a lot of opinions about the topic but one thing is true, this poor mind society is getting worse day per day and while this happens, celebrities will not have private life.

THE PRESS HAS A RIGHT TO PUBLISH PHOTOGRAPHS AND

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRIVATE LIFE OF CELEBRITIES

It remains an open debate between the company, which looks at whether the press has the right to intrude into the private lives of our celebrities. In my opinion, there are many arguments for and against, but I can not position myself against anything but having that right.

Firstly, I consider that every human has the right of privacy. Today,there is no clearinterest about the lifes of the persons that appear in various famous shows or magazines,because only interests to find them in embarrassing situations.

Perhaps there is also the kind of person that sells every moment of his life, but these are only exceptions. Also, I think what we have seen with fatal accidents, deaths and drug addiction that produce to be under pressure during intermittent periods.

To sum up, I think that it wouldn't be a right to publish photographs or information about the celebrities and it should be banned immediately

Sometimes, famous people complain about some delicate photographs and articles that are published, citing that their own privacy is never respected. Although some people state that fame entails press pressure unavoidably, personally, I argue with celebrities.

In first place, now and then press calls the attraction of the audience by publishing distorted information. Moreover, this is usually caused by ordinary people who spread fake gossips for making a living at the expense of famous people. As I see it, the media ought not to take part in all these untrue matters that can cause quite pain.

Secontly, the family, friends and other kind of relations of celebrities get usually involved in certain publications. As a result, they frequently get also in trouble unfairly and feel offended always by comments. In my poing of view, all these people deserve some respect.

In conclusion, I would say that press should not always have righ to publish whatever they want and like. I feel that famous people, as every human being, must be respected and have theis own private moments.

THE PRESS HAS A RIGHT TO PUBLISH PHOTOGRAPHS AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRIVATE LIFE OF CELEBRITIES?

Since long ago, there have been questions about whether or not to publish about the private lives of celebrities. Certainly I place myself in a yes. Below I will tell the whys.

Firstly, it should be noted that the fact that they publish things about their private lives is simply the price they must pay for being famous. Moreover, some of them sells the exclusive or just make nonsense with the purpose of be recorded or photographed.

Secondly, if they were not followed, although sometimes in an abusive way, would not be celebrities. Furthermore, They also know what they have to do and how they have to act, are taught

and advised to look perfectly. So, they are not like themselves in front of the cameras.

In conclusion, celebrities should not complain about being follow. Fame has a price and that is all.

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities.

Nowadays, all the celebrities are chased because they and their lifes are the most fun fact when people are bored. I strongly feel that the celebrities' life are public and they cannot hide it from us.

Firstly, they must remember that they have chosen to become a celebrity and to lead this type of life. They have to bear in mind the consequences of having fame, money and a luxury life. This choice is not always easy because they have to let the paparazzi and the media inquiry about their personal life. If not, the effects of being arrogant and careless can cost many fans.

Secondly, when the paparazzis follow the celebrities and take pictures of them, they are just doing their job. Moreover, they only report their daily life when they are in public places, so of course they have the right to inform what is happening.

To conclude, as the succes of a celebrity depends on the fans, it is their obligation to make their lifes public and let the journalists do their job.

Nowadays, there are a lot of famous people complaining about their uncensored private life. They blame the gossip press for being twenty-four hours taking making them photos and publishing personal information. Personally, I think that they have no right to complain.

First of all, celebrities have decided to live like this. So we have to take into account that this is their job in most cases. Besides, although they complain about this uncensored information, they always make money by selling exclusives about their life in important magazines.

Secondly, this fact helps famous people not to be forgotten by the society. In this way, they are always appearing on television and, gossip is what makes their lifes lives go on.

To sum up, fame has a price and sometimes it's very expensive. In my opinion, everybody should be happy of what they have because all the things have pros and cons.

Lance Armstrong

Publicado por joan |

Lance Armstrong, who is considered one of the best cyclists ever, was born in Texas, USA, on 8 Sept and brought up only by his mother. Although at the age of twelve he joined a swimming team, some years later when he won a triathlon he found out the discipline in which he actually highlighted. That was racing cycling.

In his thirties he won seven consecutive times the Tour de France, so that was the fact that gave him all his fame. Moreover, he became more popular for being able to achieve all that after having survived a cancer. That is the reason that led him to set up a cancer charity. Lance Armstrong Foundation, which has been raised up to $50 million.

Nowadays, Armstrong lives in Texas and Girona, as he is retired from professional cycling. What I most admired about him is his self-improvement aptitude, as well as his capacity for marking real all his desires and for being able to achieve his goals.
