 MY FIRST PARAGRAPH

The effects of being exposed to alcohol and drugs from a young age.

Being exposed to alcohol and drugs since you can remember is a dangerous experience that can lead to many problems as you grow up. It is proven that those who have grown up seeing their relatives drinking since they were just kids make them have a closer relation to alcohol and so, they end up drinking before those who haven't. In Spain, it is usual to start drinking by the time you are 14 years old, and sadly, younger people are starting to drink and smoke at younger ages. The reasons can be discussed, but it's obvious that the main reason why young people take up alcohol and drugs is being exposed to these from an early stage in their lives.

  DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPH BRAINSTORMING: What does this picture make me feel? : I feel sad but also angry and furious. Why do I feel like that? : Because I feel like it's not fair that this man has to leave his family because of a war where he has nothing to do. What produces this feeling in me? : The fact that such old things as wars are still going on even though it's proven that they're useless.

I also feel furious because of the injustice that's happening, thinking that you could lose a family member or a friend to war, to something pointless makes me i...

T17: A good friend

  As someone who has had friends her whole life, I recognise the importance of having someone to count on. There are many types of friends but the hardest one to find is without any doubt, a good friend. As I have already said, there are many types of friends. For instance, there are those that you only salute when you see each other at a party, friends from your childhood whom you do not talk to as often as you would like to but whenever you see them it seems like not a single day has gone by since you last saw them, and then there are good friends. A good friend is someone who is always there, through thick and thin. They always have the best intentions and even though you may not talk to each other every day, it is not necessary because you know that your bond can't ever be broken. I am lucky enough to say that I have many good friends that make my days worthwhile and I am proud of that because what kind of friends you have also says something about yourself.
