“Camping holidays are better than hotel holidays”.

Nowadays, many people go on holidays to camping. This kind of tourism has turned very popular. However, the hotel holidays continue being more crowded than the camping.

On the one hand, go camping is very useful if you want to get away from it all. Moreover, this accommodation is cheaper than hotels. In addition, if you want to have a good time and you have felt like adventures, this is your place.

On the contrary, when you go camping you need to sleep in a sleeping bag and this is uncomfortable. What’s more, if you can’t see insects because you have panic to them, you shouldn’t go to the countryside.

In conclusion, if you want be relaxed and breathe clean air, you should go to camp. Respect to me, I love live adventures and have fun with friends. Surely, I wouldn't go to a hotel.

“Advantages and disadvantages of fast food”.

All in all, when people listen fast food they associate this to wrong and unhealthy food like McDonalds or Burger King, although not always so. Incredibly, there are fast food that is good for our body. 

On the one hand, fast food is very cheap and quick to make, for this reason people prefers eat in a fast food restaurant than in other kind of places. Furthermore, not only, you can order food from your home but also, you can order it by Internet. Nowadays, restaurants owners are looking the form to turn the bad fast food into healthy fast food, it would be a good deal!

Moreover, if you eat lot of fast food every weeks, you will have overweight and another health problems, because this type of food has a lot of calories and fat.  In addition, much of restaurants shouldn’t cook with foods that aren’t fresh because this problem cause illness. What’s more, the way that they get meat or fish is bad for the planet.

To sum up, in small amount the fast food isn’t bad for people but you mustn’t eat much if you don’t want to end up sick. In my opinion, young people would prefer to eat fast food rather than eat vegetables or fruit, why? I don’t know, I suppose that is for contradict to our mothers when they say us that we would have to eat healthy.

OPINION ABOUT THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.

The last of the Mohicans is a famous book about the history of old Indian tribes in the United States and the war between the French and English to conquer new territories.  The argument seems a little boring but… It’s great!

I really liked the book; it has lots of action and suspense, but especially an unexpected end. I must also say that you can learn a bit of American history to reading it.

In my opinion the argument it is really gripping. Although there are parts that are a little more boring, but despite this I recommend everyone to read it.



There is a film based on the book, here I leave the trailer. I hope you like it! :)
