Choosen Poem/Story - Spain
REDACCIÓN SOBRE MULTICULTURALISMO Y LOS INTERCAMBIOS DE ESTUDIANTES
Hoy en día la sociedad de todos los países es muy diversa culturalmente, esto quiere decir que en un mismo país hay personas de distintas procedencias, con distintas formas de ver el mundo, con distintas religiones, distintas formas de pensar, de hablar, con distintas costumbres… esta diversidad cultural es fantástica para las personas ya que de esta manera conocemos otras formas de vivir la vida y nos ayuda a abrir nuestra mente a otras perspectivas para mejorar como personas. Los intercambios de estudiantes son una forma de impulsar la multiculturalidad ya que nosotros, los estudiantes, vemos esas diferencias culturales que nos diferencian a las personas de zonas distintas. Otra ventaja de los intercambios culturales son que nos ayuda a que hablemos mejor el inglés ya que si queremos comunicarnos tenemos que hacer uso de esta lengua ya que es la común en todo el mundo. Los intercambios de estudiantes hacen que nosotros nos independicemos, que seamos capaces de tomar decisiones asumiendo nosotros la responsabilidad, por lo tanto esto nos ayuda a madurar, a ser más responsables, independiente, seguros de nosotros mismos… Además de todas las ventajas que tienen los intercambios es una experiencia única e inolvidable para el estudiante ya que conoces gente nueva, dejas la rutina diaria por un viaje a un país para vivir durante una semana en la casa de alguien desconocido al que tienes que hablarle en inglés para poder entenderos, por lo tanto es algo inusual en la vida de cualquier persona.
Yo, de este viaje a Italia espero que sea inolvidable, espero hacer muchos amigos y llevarme muy bien con los demás estudiantes desde el primer momento, espero aprender diversas costumbres y formas de ver la vida distintas a las mías que me ayuden a madurar y a enriquecer mis conocimientos sobre las personas. Espero disfrutar mucho el viaje, reír, ver cosas espectaculares (como los monumentos más emblemáticos de Italia…). También me gustaría que este viaje no acabara aquí sino que me gustaría seguir en contacto con todos los estudiantes que conoceré en el viaje.
Estoy muy contenta por haber sido elegida para formar parte de este proyecto y sinceramente voy a intentar disfrutarlo al máximo para que el recuerdo de mi experiencia como estudiante de intercambio perviva en mí toda la vida.
MULTICULTURALISM AND STUDENTS' EXCHANGES
At present the society of all the countries is very diverse culturally, that is to say that, in the same country there are people of different origins, with different ways of seeing the world, with different religions, different ways of thinking, of speaking, with different customs … This cultural diversity is fantastic for people because this way we know other forms of living the life and it helps us to open our mind to other perspectives, to improve as a person. The students' exchanges are a way of stimulating a more multicultural society because we, the students, see these cultural differences that we differ to people of different areas. Another advantage of the cultural exchanges is that it helps us to speak English better because if we want to communicate we have to use this language because it is the common language of the world. The students' exchanges make us more independent, that we are able of taking decisions assuming the responsibility; therefore this helps us to mature, to be more responsible, independent, self-confident… Besides all the advantages that have the exchanges it is an only and unforgettable experience for the student because I will meet new people, and I will change the daily routine to travel to a country to live for one week in the house of someone unknown to me, and I have to speak to this unknown person in English to be able to communicate with him or her, therefore it is something unusual in anyone’s life.
From this trip to Italy I expect it to be unforgettable; I hope to make many friends. I expect to learn diverse customs and ways of seeing the life different from mine that help me to mature and to enrich my knowledge about people. I expect to enjoy the trip very much, to laugh, to see spectacular things (as the most emblematic monuments of Italy …). I would also like this trip not to finish here but I would like to continue in touch with all the students that I will meet in the trip.
I am very satisfied to have been chosen to form a part of this project and sincerely I am going to try to enjoy it to the maximum so that the memories of my experience as an exchange student are unforgettable in all of my life.

Police speech about the risks in society for teenagers: drugs, bullying, street bands, dangers of Internet - Spain
POLICE SPEECH ABOUT THE RISKS IN SOCIETY FOR TEENAGERS: DRUGS, BULLYING, STREET BANDS, DANGERS OF INTERNET
The police came to our school to give us a speech on the dangers in society for teenagers.
First, they commented about the school environment, it is very important to have a good school environment for a good development of people personality. Other item is aggressiveness. It is a thing that we have from our birth but in some people it develops too much and the result is violence; it also develops race violence, a dramatic item that is always present on television, newspapers, and the news.
Drugs also influence on people. There is no difference between soft drugs and tough drugs because both cause addition and irreversible damages for humans’ health. People call soft drugs to tobacco and alcohol, and tough drugs to cannabis, cocaine, heroine, etc; but the police said that if you start taking cannabis you finish taking heroine and more dangerous drugs.
They also talked about street bands that influence people to have a bad behaviour.
And finally, internet, it is a great place where you can find all type of information and useful news, but here are people interested in using internet to cause damage, for example old people who chat with children. We should not give personal information on chats or public websites, it can be dangerous for us and our family.
We have to communicate and report all strange situations we see or we live.
Miriam Martínez Castejón, 1st Bachillerato
Last Friday my friends and I attended a speech on the social dangers. The speech was exposed by a policeman who I spoke to us on the aggressiveness as the main reason of all the consequent problems since he believes there is an emptiness in the own person and in his environment. This impedes the social relations for what the person becomes more aggressive. I liked this information because I did not know it before.
Later he spoke to us about bullying which many children suffer in the high schools or in their social life and they are isolated by other partners in the class. He also spoke to us about the street bands that frighten others and they can end committing drug dealing or other crimes.
Finally the policeman spoke on the dangers that the internet use carries on youngsters since these can be defrauded or threatened by many types of people who only care about their personal well-being.
The speech was very interesting and entertaining for me and it was very easy to catch the messages that they wanted to transmit and in addition it allowed us to learn new social problems and to be able to avoid them.
Asensio Martínez Pérez, 2nd Bachillerato.
On 7th May, that is last Friday, two policemen from Torre Pacheco police station gave us a speech about issues of actuality such as drugs, the dangers of internet, street bands and other issues.
They showed us a PowerPoint. In this report they explained the different kinds of drugs for example alcohol, heroine, tobacco and many others.
They also talked about the dangers of internet when they showed the dangers of several windows, for example: sects, pornography. The policeman explained that a lot of people do windows which are a fake.
In the PowerPoint they also talked about bad groups or associations when it showed different groups and street bands.
My School Trip - Spain
MY SCHOOL TRIP
I went to Paris Paris
We slept in a hostel, it was very bad. We visited Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower Seine . We had some difficulties because on the flight back there was some turbulence. On the trip we travelled by plane, by bus, by boat and by subway.
I liked Paris Eiffel Tower

Internet - Spain
INTERNET
For me internet is very cool because I can write to my friends and family. As a matter of fact, I can study for the exams and I can receive information from the school when I do not go to school.
But my parents are not very happy with internet because they tell me that internet is not good for children my age because you do not study, you can get very angry, etc. And it is also very dangerous because there are people older than you who speak with you in messenger or chat about your age, your physical appearance. For this I have not got a computer in my room, so that my parents can look at me when I go into the computer.
Maxi Pérez Bursian, 4th B ESO
INTERNET DANGERS
Internet is a very efficient way to obtain information that is necessary to use adequately. Teenagers and children can be deceived by paedophiles, or others that want to deceive us to obtain information about us and our families thanks to our ignorance and vulnerability. We mustn’t speak with strangers, we mustn’t reveal confidential information through internet, and we mustn’t stay with people that we have known in chats.
Many viruses can enter into our computers when we open certain pages, many people can steal the account of e-mail. Besides there are internet zones that aren’t fit for certain ages and that can hurt the innocence of the person; these pornographic pages can appear at any moment in an unexpected form. In internet there are pages that foment smoking, violence, drugs, … and it is necessary to avoid this.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET.
Young people spend a lot of time surfing on the internet. More and more children are using computers today. Computer use has got advantages and disadvantages. Some people are asking themselves: Should children be allowed to use computers?
On the one hand, many parents give their children a computer. Today, parents often work long hours, therefore they can’t control their children and they spend a lot of time at the computer.
It is good to have a computer because children can learn information, chat with friends, meet new friends, find information work sent at school, play learning games,; but it is bad to have a computer because children forget their homework and housework, get obsessed and don’t fall asleep.
In conclusion, I think that before having a computer you have to be responsible and know that there are more obligations and you can also get information from an encyclopaedia and a computer isn’t necessary.

HOW CAN WE LOOK AFTER OUR PLANET? - Spain
HOW CAN WE LOOK AFTER OUR PLANET?
SOS PLANET EARTH
News Notice
Written by Cristina Ruiz Vera and translated by Alexandra Morrison.
We should look after our planet because due to pollution, the ozone layer is being destroyed.
The ozone is a form of oxygen whose molecule has three atoms, instead of two of common oxygen. The ozone is a layer that you can find in the atmosphere and it protects us from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. If it was not for that there would not be life on Earth. In 1960 Sir Gordon Dobson discovered that there was a hole in the ozone layer on the continent Antarctic. The hole was produced because we do not look after our planet. We contaminate it with the petrol fumes, chimney smoke, factory smoke, sprays, not recycling properly…. Contamination is the reproduction of dirt and waste that you cannot get rid of. The consequences of contamination are: acid rain, atmospheric impact, climate change, greenhouse effect… The water, air and earth are the main consumers of contamination. What can we do to save our planet? Here we give a few solutions:
- Transport – Reduce individual transport and use public transport.
- Domestic energy – Reduce its waste using home appliances that are classed as energy A and turn off appliances completely when not using them.
- Waste – It helps to separate rubbish with rubbish that can be recycled.
- Materials – Always re-use (paper, toys, tools, furniture …) when you can and try not to use plastic bags, boxes and wrapping paper.
- Water – Reduce the consume of water by putting (for example) water bottles in the toilet tank.
- Watering – Minimize watering your garden.
- Develop – Only develop where you know that there is sufficient water for a long period of time.
- Nature – Respect protected places and minimize the impact in nature zones.
- Construction of houses – Build houses with good waterproof materials so that the heating investment and the air-conditioning is better.
- Cracks – Make better isolation for windows and doors because between 5% and 10% of heat from houses escapes from them.
- Photovoltaic solar paddles connected to the electrical network.
- Alternative energies – To give value and be able to finance them. If everyone agrees and helps we would benefit, although it would be more expensive.
- Taxes – Allow that they are assigned for the conservation of resources.
- Ground – Minimize the use of change in the ground and, in general, artificial ground.
- Impact – Pay more attention to the atmospheres impact and consider other alternatives that will help the atmosphere.
- Species – Do not move them out of their natural habitat.
- Invaders – Do not abandon domestic animals or pets. They could be endangered species.
- Chemical products – Minimize the use of chemical products like: antibiotics, fertilizers …and aerosols.
- Education – Educate children in a way that they will help the eco-system.
- Governments – Demand the sustainable management term of natural resources.
If everyone follows these tips, we will obtain that the planet improves and you will help us. It would be a better world and cleaner for everyone.

SPANISH STUDENTS’ LETTERS - Spain
SPANISH STUDENTS’ LETTERS
On November 16 students selected for the "Comenius" project left for Faro in Portugal.
We reached the city at approximately 2:30 am.
The next day we went to introduce the school to all project countries.
Joao de Deus school where we went to was around 60 years that is almost nothing compared to ours. That was the only day we ate at school, seafood is certainly taken to nap. Well the second day after lunch in Faro we visited the Faro museum. On the third day we went to eat at the beach and after being there for a while we left to our homes. The fourth day on Thursday we went to Sagres, an hour from Faro. We visited the fortress of Sagres, we went for a walk around the town and saw the church-museum of Sagres. Finally on Friday and last day, we left early to Lisbon about four hours from Faro. There we visited the fortress of Belem and Jeronimos Monastery. At one o'clock in the morning we were at the bus stop to start a fourteen-hour desperate trip by coach.
And this way concludes our trip to Faro from sixteenth to twenty-first November.

The trip has been an unforgettable experience that I would repeat many times. You meet a lot of new people, the customs of the country you visit and mainly you make a lot of good friends. You learn to manage with English and you realize that you know more than you thought you knew.
During the trip, in the morning we used to go to the school all the countries together, in the afternoons we used to visit the town and in the evenings we went with the families that hosted us.
The families were very nice with you and tried to give all the best so that you could feel very well.
Food was different to ours but they were very good, so food was not a problem.
This trip has been wonderful and I won’t forget it in my life.
Lorena Martínez Sánchez, 4º B
This trip to Portugal within the Comenius Project our school is participating has been very good because we have visited Faro, Sagres and Lisbon. It has been a great experience as we have had the chance to live with teenagers from other seven countries (Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and Turkey). We have had a wonderful time sharing beautiful and funny moments. We have learnt a good experience I think that will be useful for our future.
Vicente Armero Sánchez, 4º A
The beginning of the trip was an estrange experience because it was a family you don’t know and they offer themselves to look alter you for a few days. What I liked most from this meeting in Portugal was meeting and knowing how people from other countries are, but what I liked less was the farewell from everybody, farewells are always very bad and they are even worst if you have made very good friend with someone and you know you aren’t going to see them again unless you go to the country.
Faro, the name of the town where we stayed, is a place on the coast which means they eat a lot of fish, but I liked a lot a dish, which wasn’t fish, and we ate in a restaurant near the beach. The dish was with boiled potatoes and turkey with a sauce.
This trip has been an experience I’d like to repeat, but I think a week is very little time, it should be two weeks, because the first week is when you get used to being with the family and on the second you start having a great time.
As a conclusion, if you have an opportunity like this you have to make the most of it.
Mª Carmen Romero Martínez, 4º A
Hello, I’m Irene and I have taken part in the Comenius Project in Portugal. There, we have had a very good time and we have met a lot of people from many countries. We have learnt some Turkish and Portuguese words. We have made a lot of excursions. I have known a lot about our Portuguese neighbours.

FRIENDSHIP 2 - Spain
Friendship for me is one of the most important things in your life, with family and other things. I can do lots of things with friends. There are better and worse friends. A friend does for you what is good, whenever he/she is a good friend.
He can help you if you have any problem, you share the best experiences in your life with him/her and you go to parties or stay outside.You share your feelings with your friends, you do all with your friends, and the most important thing is that they would give anything to you.
A friend is someone special, someone to trust, and someone that you can support.
If you have friends, the life is easier.
Between friends and family you create a world and with them you do everything.
In general, a friend is someone who helps you in the saddest and the happiest moments. He/she helps you if you have to make a decision or if you have to choose something.
A friend is like your family.
