A review of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back is a science fiction film by George Lucas.

The main character of the film is the Jedi called Luke Skywalker, who, at the begining of the film he tries to save the Rebel base against the Empire, then, he travelled to planet Dagobah to meet Master Joda, who teaches Luke, how to use the Force, and to become a real Jedi, meanwhile, his friends, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Chewbacca fall into a trap by Darth Vader, and Luke goes to the Cloud City, to try to rescue his friends, Luke saves Leia and Chewbacca, but Han is captured by a bounty hunter called Boba Fett, and Like tries to rescue Han in the next episode.

The film is never boring, because there's a lot of action, and the dialogue parts are very well-acted and exciting at the same time. Luke is very brave, because he wants to act all the time, but he is unprepared to fight against Darth Vader, but his valor is very believable and unique, because he wants to save his friends. It's difficult to think of anything negative, because it's a fantastic film.

It's probably the best movie in the saga, and one of my favourite films. Full recomendation!!!!

It's the best video, for which you may see what we can do with our words and bullyng

The teenage years are the most important years of your life. Do you agree?

Personally, I think that teenage years are  the most important yars of our life. I strongly agree with that statement because a lot of significant things happen during that period. But, Why?

In these years, the personality has just defined completely and your social life changes. You make a lot of friends and some of those friendships will probllably continue in the future.

Moreover, teens are the support of the education, and we begin to have a little of freedom. You can decide your professional future with the studies that you choose, do a lot of things like start going out without parents, and begin to have responsabilities.

In conlusion, I agree with this topic because in my opinion, If you choose correctly what you do, these years will be the best for your and you will probably get a good job in the future.

AN OPINION ESSAY

-The teenage years are the most important years of your life.

In mi opinión, I think that these years are very important, because this age is the best age to study and work at the same time, or only study.
If you ask to your parents if they miss the is teenage years, normally, that say yes, they said that it is the best time, of their lives.
But, it has disadvantages, for example, we have to be responsible and we have to do housework and a lot of errands.
We also have good things, for example, we fall in love quickly, and for people this is bad, but not always, if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend and love each other it is beautiful.
Also, you want to know everything, you try to improve in all your hobbies or you want the boy or girl that you love notices you.
People usually say that our life is easy, but when you are in it, for you it is not, and it is unpredictable, you don't know what is going to happen to you the next day.

My opinion about Facebook

Some people think Facebook is only one place where we communicate and keep up to day on things from your friends. However, it is not just a place where your friends see your posts

In my opinion, I think Facebook is a social network in which everyone see all your things.  Namely, it is a place where everyone can know what you're doing at all times, stay where we also recorded all conversations and photos that we put on on Facebook. Moreover, is a social network where there are rapists who pretend to be other people and with that, they get that people to send intimate photos.

Furthermore, I believe that the people are not aware of all the negative things that can happen and then post photos and information that they should not.  However I’m not saying that Facebook is awful because if you can do a good use, you can use this social network without problems.

In conclusion, personally, I think that Facebook is a place to communicate with friends not a social network in wich you publish all your moves, nor post inadequate photos.

My opinion about Facebook

Nowadays, almost everybody has a Facebook account. It's a social network site which allows people to find old friends and keep in touch with them. In my opinion, I think that Facebook is a really good tool, but it has some disadvantages.

On the one hand, you can connect to different people from anywhere in the world. This gives you the opportunity to know more about their culture, values and tradition. Also, you can use groups to connect all your close friends together, and a lot more uses.

On the other hand, Facebook is very addictive, so it makes you waste your time. It's clear that it often brings bad effects on students' results and we are losing oral communication skills too.

Furthermore, people can easily get your personal information, so it's recommended not to share your personal information publicly.

In conclusion, I believe that using Facebook safely and not really frequently is the best way to use this social network site.

A narrative text: (Strange meeting)

I was running in a Park, when I suddenly found my best friend. We started talk about our lives, because we've had met often ten years. I was so excited when I saw him. After talking, we started running again, When I realized that I'd forgotten my mobile in the park. I was shocked and a bit of nervous.

But when I went to the park again, my mobile was there and then I fell more relaxed. After that, we went to the café for breakfast. Then my friend said to me that he's working in the University as a Professor of Physics, and next year he's going to the United States, because his parents live there.

Finally we went to the Disco and after that we went to our homes. It was an amazing day, I had been with my best friend. I'll never forget that day.
