   Hello Maribel, I send this post in this part of the blog because I don’t found the post of unit 8. But the type of writing is the same.

   “The goverment should ban smoking”. Do you agree?
   The last two years the goverment introduceD a law wHich banned smoking in two differents stages. As a result, now it’s forbidDEN smoking in a lot of places (bars, public places…). Personally I think that the goverment creatED a very good law for the population.

   I think that this law is a very good law for the population, because smokING is very badly for the health of the people. Because smoke provoque CAUSES a lot of illnessES, for example cancer of lung, problems in the voice…
   In my view IT IS also is good because IT is too annoying for the people who don’t smoke.

   In conclusion I think that it’s positive to ban smoking because IT is good for the people who smoke and the people who don’t smoke.

   THANKS PAU, YOU’RE RIGHT, I FORGOT TO OPEN THE NEW COMPOSITION POST, I’LL DO IT IMMEDIATELY.
   THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TEXT.

   hello maribel!!

   in my opinion the boot camPs are good idea bacause the bad behaviour shoulD be punished.

   in one hand this bad behaviour is bad byWITH the family and parents, school and society because is very MUCHworst.

   in the other hand the boot camps learningTEACH the boys and girls to change this conduct and BE integrated in the society again.

   in my opinion the bad behaviour is a impediment for the society.

   bye bye maribel

   I think that the boot camps could be a good idea because there are a some youngsYOUNG PEOPLE that pass some time in the boot cops in finally repent of what they made .
   in the other band a boot camp not is a good idea because there are a youngs that when THEY leave to the boot camps still doing the same thing.

   In my opinion boot camps are a good solution for thatTHOSE teenagers who vandalize and have bad behaviour. There they can learn new ways of obtainING the things they want with their own effort. In that THOSE boot camps they have nobody to help them so they have to solve their own problems. I think that these boot camps can be very useful to improve problematic teenagers’ behaviour. I suppose that the percentage of good results is higher than the percentage of bad results, because, obviously, these camps can’t guarantee that all the people who go there change their way of behaving.

   NICE REASONING, ELISA

   Hi Maribel!

   These Boot Camps normally are FOR to bad people or people very pamper??? (WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SPOILT CHILDREN?), because his or her parents give him/her all things that he/she wantS it, or for other difFerents reasons. Personally, I think that these camps are changed CHANGE these people to better. In these camps the people work a lot of time and work very hard. I think that these camps really change people and these people leave there “encourage to do things”. But sometimes these camps are very, very hard.
   In addition these camps aren’t a bad idea. It is albe to CAN help very violent teenagers.

   Bye Maribel! Thanks you to dedicate a little time to me today!
   (This is the good text, sorry I correct mistakes!)

   “Are boot camps a good idea?”

   In my opinion the boot camps are a good idea Because IT teaches boys and girls TO work in teams without fighting, IT also SHOWS THEM A WAY taught a trade so they can have a good future.

   But the teenager at first takeS it as a punishment but withIN the passage of weeks HE s’en realizeS that for IT FOR their sake as well have a better life than his first decision not want to study ( IHAVE SOME PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING THIS BIT)

   Are boot camps a good idea?

   Boot camps aren’t very common because they are ilLegality. I don’t know about anyone arround me. In society there are many spoiled youngsTERS, especially teenagers. I think that the parents of thisESE young people have a part of responsability about it and some one haSve to solve it thinking in the future.

   This boys and girls go out with bad people and some of them take drugs or do stupid thinGks such as shoplifting and drug trafficking. If parents can’t stop this situation it meanS that in the future they will be more dangerous and violents.

   In the one hand I think that boot camps are a good idea because IT is the only way to fight the bad education of thESEis young people.

   In the other hand I think that boot camps are extremely hards.

   As far as I am concerned, they have all the numbersCHANCES to be successful. The people who goes there will thank FOR it to theIRm parents in the future.

   Laura.

   INTERESTING TEXT, LAURA, THANKS A LOT

   Yes, it’s true that boot camps are a good remedy to solve the bad conduct of the young persons, but, a remedy in which it grows bolder with hate and revenge, is the best remedy? ARE There are not more remedies?
   I don’t have good ideas with regard to this, but probably the remedy is inside THEIR his houses, in THEIR his friends and families, but the problem of this method is that noT all the families are good with her sonsCHILDREN.

   I dont have capacity of writing, this way that here my opinion, I hope that YOU she likes IT. Bye Maribel!

   OF COURSE I LIKED YOUR TEXT, IT MEANS YOU’RE PRACTISING AND, THEREFORE, LEARNING. THANKS

   I think that boot camps are a good idea for these problematic young people instead of going to prison. I think that they’re helpful because, sometimes, with a strict regime these type of people react in a positive way and realize about their mistakes in the past. So, when they return home maybe they want to start again their liVfes having a good behaviour.
   However, I think that these camps shouldn’t be out of the legal system, because they must be fair and must be strict but without violence or malMISStreatment.
   All in all, boot camps are, in my opinion, a good way to try to change these young vandals, but as I said, always respecting and being fair.

   NICE POINT, ELI, THANKS FOR YOUR TEXT

    I think that boot camps are a good idea.
    In thESEis camps there are people WHO to have a bad behaviour, normally thisTHESE camps are for a young people, that thisWHOSE behaviour is unbearable and their parents don’t know how THEY can correct it.
    I think that boot camps are good, because in it, the people work very hard and they can learn a lot of values, they can learn to coexist and respect to other people. And the most important they learn that if they have a good behaviour, they will BE rewardED.
    In these camps the people finally accept the errors and they often improve THEIR her behaviour.
    The people that were in these camps, when they return to home, they have an objectives and projects for herTHEIR lives, and especially a good behaviour.

    NICE TEXT, ASSUMPTA, GOOD WORK

    Opinion of boot camps:

    I think that these caMps are a good idea because it’s the way to improve the form of being of the childrenWAY CHILDREN ARE (OR BEHAVE), in order that they learn new things and canvien hisCHANGE THEIR attitude.But at the same time i don’t like the idea that my parents COULD sending me to a boot camp.

    So in my opinion the boot camps are well,but only I WOULD send my son there ONLY in a case of emergency when I don’tDIDN’T know thatWHAT TO do.

    bye Maribel!

    I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT, IT IS A DIFFICULT DECISION.!

    hi Maribel!
    I think these camps that the parents who send their children to be a good idea is same to a punishment but it is not because there are live new experiences and reality learn to work hard and do not depend only on their parents because the teenagers of nowadays most of them want it all to do her parents are independent only for some things they think.

    I HAVE PROBLEMS TO FOLLOW YOUR TEXT, BTISSAM, TRY TO USE SHORTER SENTENCES AND COMMAS. REMEMBER ALL SENTENCES NEED A SUBJECT AND A VERB AND RESPECT WORD ORDER.
    WHY DON’T YOU TRY TO WRITE IT AGAIN, PLEASE? OR TALK TO ME AT SCHOOL.

    Hello Maribel!

    Talking about boot camps, I think that it could be a good choice because IT is probablEy that teens maybe causes troubles to other people of nightmares of the past, for example: the dead of a loved person, and many other things. (DO YOU MEAN TRAUMA?)
    ThESEis camps are able to solve their wrong behavior.
    In the end of this heavy boot camps some teens can change the wrong way that they used to use.

    bye!

    THANKS A LOT ALICIA

    I think that THESE this camps could be a good and a bad idea .
    I´ll explain cLrearly, I think that boodT camps could be good to improve the behavior of teens.
    In the other hand I think that this could be a bad idea , because teebNs will probably grow up with hate to their parents for putTING them in this THESE camps.

    That´s all !

    THANKS DANIEL

    Is ethical the sports journalism ETHICAL in Spain?

    Now with the serieS of four matches Barça-Madrid, the people can see the reality of the sport journalism in Spain. And I don’t like the way THEY to explain the reality, because the journalistS manipulate the reality.

    All the journalistS, and is obviously, ARE is a fanS of a football club, but these days we can see that the news change a lot if the newS is explained BY for a journalist SUPPORTING of Barça or Madrid. IT Is obviuosly that all the people have a point of view but the lasts days there are newspapers that explain to the readers a lot of lies. As a result of this THESE lies there are CAUSE a lot of problems with the fans of THESE this two teams, or for example WHAT as we could see the last Tuesday BETWEEN among Mourinho and Pep Guardiola. So I think that this is a very important problem because the people believe all that THEY read or listen on TV.

    In my opinion the journalist haSd to reTHINK about his job, because he can create a lot of problems.

    I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT, THAT’S WHY WE NEED TO BE CRITICAL OURSELVES. NICE TEXT PAU
