  2. 2TOPIC AND INTRODUCTIONHelping students find suitable jobs
    Nowadays, there seems to be a serious problem with our education system. A growing number of youngsters are finding themselves stuck in jobs that have little or nothing to do with their degrees. As a consequence, frustration and unemployment are on the rise, as young workers eventually tend to resign. But is there something to be done about this? Experts believe so.
  3. 3IDEA 1On the one hand, it is believed that when choosing a degree, students are not mature enough. Therefore, they lack the necessary experience to know what they really desire for their future. If they were to have more experience, they would choose more wisely. In turn, there would be fewer college dropouts and more fulfilled young workers. For this reason, experts claim that embarking on a work experience programme would be truly beneficial.
  4. 4IDEA 2On the other hand, recent research points out that students lack appropriate careers guidance. Not only are teachers not qualified for this task, but also they lack the resources to provide students with guidance. Thus it is of utmost importance to hire professional careers counsellors, who can help students develop more accurate expectations of their careers and professional opportunities.
  5. 5CONCLUSIONIn conclusion, I hold the view that if we were to tackle these two issues, our education system would become more effective in aiding students to become satisfied workers after finishing their university studies. However, implementing work experience programmes would bring about greater benefits for youngsters than seeking profesional counselling. This is so because I believe that our own experience is more valuable than someone else’s professional opinion.
  6. 6EXAMPLES OF WRITING: A REVIEWUna película: hablo de varias cosas esenciales en cualquier review de película, libro o serie: argumento, personajes/actores, recomendación, temática, por qué me gusta, etc.
  7. 7TITLE AND INTROCTIONRoom
    There are films which represent a turning point in the life of every film buff, whether it be for the plot, the actors or the themes. In my case, this came about when I watched Room, a heartbreaking yet inspiring production directed by Lenny Abrahamson.
  8. 8PARAGRAPH 1Set in present-day Canada, the plot of this human drama revolves around the story of a young woman, Ma, who was kidnapped 7 years ago and has been locked up ever since in a minute back-garden shed – referred to as “room” throughout the whole film. After regular forced, sexual encounters with her kidnapper, Ma has given birth to Jack, who is now 6 years old. During this time, room is the only world he knows, thus being completely unaware of what lies beyond those four walls. However, Ma will do everything in her power to break free and put an end to their ordeal.
  9. 9PARAGRAPH 2The characters are wonderfully played by all the actors, who put in an exceptional performance, especially the young, child actor who plays Jack. He really provides the part with a lot of personality and wins the viewers’ sympathy from the outset.
  10. 10PARAGRAPH 3What made me fall in love with this film was that it deals in an extremely realistic way with major themes like violence, motherly love and depression. However, the icing on the cake is how this picture gives us hope to overcome severe difficulties.
  11. 11CONCLUSIONIf you’re keen movie lover and enjoy thought-provoking stories, I wouldn’t hesitate to log on to Netflix and watch it straightaway. You will always remember it as one of the best films you ever saw.
