Opinion essay - Practice 4

           I have seen things that you wouldn't believe, I have seen original and creative films with a good acting which don't need a teenager idols performance or spectacular  visual effects every two minutes. That is a re-imagined speech from the movie "Blade Runner" and I'm sure that actual teenagers may get bored if they watch it, because they are get use to watch easy and cheesy movies. Nowadays movies are really poor about script and acting because directors and producers just want make films which give them a lot of money, instead of being interested in making a high quality movies.

              Firstly there is a lack of new ideas on actual movies. The last years you could find many remakes and reboots of old movies or stories, for example "The Planet of The Apes". The old movie was realy good, it told us a new story with really good script as the main part of the movie. Later they made an awful remake and totally useless precuel which main effort was CGI effects. That is only one example of many movies that are make nowadays.

                  Moreover, producers only care about having a good-looking actor in their movies, even if there are better performers. Actors of classic movies are really good, for example Al Pacino isn't incredibly handsome but he is a great actor. If Al Pacino had been born later, and was looking for a job now, he would find it more difficult to become famous because he doesn't has a pretty face. Nowadays actors, mostly of them, aren't good actor but they are liked by young teens, and that fact give money to the movie.

                   To conclude, I hate the fact that I find too dificult to watch a real good movie and most people don't care about the quality of a good script or a great performance, they only want to see again and again kind of the same movie with different faces and scenery.

Problem/Solution essay - Practice 3

           Pollution is a huge problem, it affects everything, every live being and the environment. Other energy sources are needed or we will have troubles, furthermore, the world is already in trouble. The environment has been changed, forest are destroyed, seas and rivers polluted, glaciars are melting and animals are endangered. We need to try some green-ways to live and start to change details in our lives, starting by pollution of our cars and motorbikes.

            One solution to avoid pollution is use bikes instead of cars. Bikes are a healthy and green way to move without causing any harm to earth. A problem of the use of bikes is the fact that many cities are not designed in a good way to ride a bike there, and that made ride a bike at cities something a little dangerous. Added to this, prepare a city to be redesigned is really expensive.

            Moreover, other solution is to use electric cars. The use of this cars are cleaner than cars and less expensive, But, to construct electric cars they need to work with light weight kind of materials, which is quite bad to the environment because work with this metals caused more pollution and they are need light weight metal because the batteries of this cars are really heavy.

             From my point of view, the "ride a bike solution" is better. I know that is a really big change, to drive bikes instead of cars, but we need a redical change to conserve the environment and make the earth a better place to live.

             To conclude, due to the fact that pollution is a big problem to the world and to us, we need to start making a change by our own. The most important thing to start change the world is change ourselves.

Most people don't like alternative music, but from my point of view this kind of music is the only one that is still artistic. Music industry has become only marketing andd there isn't space in TV or radio for bands which don´t make the same mainstream music. People don't like this music because they didn't hear before. Moreover, at this times, it is dificult to hava a music band and keep it alive, specially when you only do that for passion to the music and no for money, so I respect that. Alternative music is a really big scene formed by a lot of styles: pop, punk, rock, rockabilly, psychobilly, new wave, ska, etc. That variety make this scene really interesting. Although most people don't like and even don't know nothing about alternative music, that is the only music that I listen and I really love it.
