Composition: What kind of music do you like? Describe it and explain why.
I like all sort of music, though modern pop, reggaeton, electro and such are the exception to the rule.
The music I enjoy listening to goes from classical to hard rock, and, most of all, subgenres of rock music. But if I had to choose one single kind, I'd go for the rock played between the fifties and early nineties. From Elvis to Nirvana. From Chuck Berry to Pink Floyd. From Bob Dylan to Mumford and Sons.
I chose this musical period because, despite all the variety and uniqueness on one genre and the other, I find in them what I see as the essence of youth and strong power of will. Talent.
These decades gave birth to talented artists as J. Cash, The Velvet Underground, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin, The Who or Ac/Dc (as well as the bands mentioned above) often bands with at least one guitar player, one bass guitar player, a drummer and a vocalist, with stunning live performances and scintillating, deep, encouraging songs that have become an anthem to me.
Bands and artists that elevate my inner-self to another - and much better - state of being.
What can you do at school or at home to improve the enviroment? I think one way in which people can help the enviroment is by going to school or work by bike as opposed to going by car or bus. Vehicles are very contaminating. In Spain, there are tons of grams of CO2 released to the atmosphere. This causes a lot of damage to the planet because there has been a huge reduction of the ozone layer and the uv rays are making their way through the atmosphere to us, producing a lot of illnesses in humans. Hopefully, some of the big car brand like BMW or Renault are now inventing and selling some innovating cars, which work with electricity instead of petroleum. But, is this a better way to improve the enviroment? As everyone can guess, you must charge those vehicles to be able to move and drive arround town and this might be a huge waste of electricity, which isn´t good for the enviroment either... In conclusion, there are some ways to improve cars and make them a little more helpful for the enviroment, but there won´t be a better and more helpful way to move arround town or commuting than going by bike or walking.
Are there some jobs which are more appropiate for men that for women? State your opinion and give specific reasons and examples.
Some might say, even in the 21st. century, that not only there are 'manly' jobs, but that there are activities clearly made for men as well, same thing applied to women. I can not but to profoundly disagree with both statements.
It is my conviction that everyone is much more than a genre, so there shouldn't exist borders when it comes to choosing each one's way of living. If I say that borders should be eliminated from society's prejudices it's because, nowadays, even a walrus can paint a drawing and sell it. Is Fine Arts an appropiate career for a walrus? I don't very much think so. But if it has been taught to do it, what's stopping him? This point applies equally to people.
A few facts that could back the truth behind this idea would be Marta Dominguez, a superstar when it comes to winning in a 'manly sport', or even Rudolf Nureyev, the male ballet dancer which broke down the barriers of a rather clasifying society.
To sum up, I think that, metaphorically speaking, the world is rather colorful, and there is no sense in dresses being only pink or blue.
