Only public transport should be allowed in cities.

Citizens have different opinions about this topic. There are some different points of views.

On the one hand, if people only use public transport  in cities, we will have a city with less pollution. In addition, we will have a less noisy city,, we will have a less chaotic city and we will have a cleaner city. Granada is a very small city and many people think it is not necessary for us to use the public transport, so, many inhabitants' thought is “let's get the car to move around”.

On the other hand, a percentage of citizens believe that public transport in Granada is a disaster. We have daily buses strikes, the buses are not regular and they also continually intersect streets, moreover, bus routes change.

To sum up, in my opinion, it should be prohibited the access by car to some central streets, but, furthermore, I think the Town Hall should increase the frequency of buses passing by the stops and the number of bus lines.

My Interview with Rita Ora:

My Interview with Rita Sahatçiu Ora

Yesterday, Rita Ora came to Spain because she had a concert.

I asked her if I could interview her.   She told me that of course I could

I asked her when she had started her career.  She tod me that when she went to Eurovision Song Contest.

I asked her if she liked Spain.  She told me that of course she did  and she said that she loved Spanish food.

I wanted to know where she lived.  She told me that she was living in Los Angeles (U.S.A)

I asked her to come back to Spain soon, and she said she would be happy to do so.

Finally, I asked her if she could sign her new album for me.

She told me that it was Ok, and she thanked me for the interview.

School gates should not be locked during the day.

Both teachers and students have different ideas about this topic. Teachers often have different opinion from students.

On the one hand, it would be good for the students to be allowed to get out of this school, at least during break time, as they do in some high schools. Being locked  all morning at school is not good and we should get out and not be locked.

On the other hand, some children will not return because they do not study and they do not care the studies and the parents would complain to the high school.

To sum up, I believe that the gates should not be locked during the day, as a minimum for the Bachillerato's students because the Bachillerato is not compulsory education and each student should be responsible and do what they want to in the Bachillerato.

My interview with Roberto Iniesta

Last summer Extremoduro, my favourite band of Spanish rock,  gave a concert in Seville. Obviously, I went to Seville, but I spent all my money on the bus so I could not go to the concert; then I decided to walk and go sightseeing. When I was walking in the city, I saw Robe, Extremoduro’ singer, and I went to the bar where he was.

Extremoduro's concert, thanks Ana Sánchez for the photo.

I asked him why their concert was so expensive, and he answered me they hadn't decided the price. In that moment I asked him to be more personal, as in their first concerts. Then he looked at himself and said to me it was true and he didn’t want to be a rock star. I told him I couldn’t pay for their concert and because of that I was disappointed, I said I had thought Extremoduro loved poetry and not money. I think in that moment I touched a dangerous topic because then he mentioned their last songs, like "el pájaro azul",  in which they didn’t make transgressive rock, as they usually did… Then I said I loved their last songs because they had been able to make another genre of music but as good as ever, I asked him when they could come Granada, which is more beautiful than Seville,  and where they had had more fans. He answered me he was going to propose the idea to the group and he would be very happy to do a very cheap concert where they would sing old songs as well as new songs.

Finally I found the way to return home, but I’m still waiting for  the concert…

My last question was if he would like to train a football team and he said he would like to train Real Madrid.

 I thanked him for the interview and he signed my t-shirt.

My interview with Macklemore

The other day the rapper Macklemore came to Spain for a concert.

 I could talk to him and I did an interview.

I asked him what his real name was.  He told me that his name was Ben Haggerty.

I wanted to know what  his favourite song was.He told me that his favourite song was Thrift Shop.

I told him that my favourite song was ''And we dance''.

I asked him if he had been in Spain before. He told me that  he had never been in Spain. This was his first visit.

Private schools are better than state owned schools?

Many people have different points of view about what kind of education is better. 

Nowadays, in most of the developed countries there are thousand of schools or collages to choose which can be privates or publics´schools.

First, we should bear in mind that education is a right for people, therefore, state owned schools are giving this opportunity as they are funded by the governments.

On the one hand,  state owned schools are free for everybody and they do not make exceptions with anyone, besides, it helps students out to be in contact with all type of people and it will be the context which they will face in the future. However, teachers who work in public schools do not dedicate as personally to the students as in private schools and this may have negative consecuences.

On the other hand, private schools call for an extra payment which some times it is very high, so, students who study in private schools normally belong to families which have a high economic level, and this  prevents them to be in contact with other kind of people. Nevertheless, private ºeducacion is more personal, for example, students are allowed to choose other kind of subjects that they can consider "more practical". In addition, they are tought to put into practice what they learn by writing essays about different topics which have been discussed in subjects such as Economy, History, Biology or they really learn the use of Maths.

To sum up, education is an essential right for everyone, therefore, people should support a quality public education which preapares people for the near future. Moreover, state owned schools system should addapt to each student, and dedicate to them more personally. Finally, private school should be only an option (but not the alternative for some families for their children grow up in a more "high level") moreover, private schools should improve the relationship of their students with students from other schools, and thus, make people to share experiences and opinions each others, avoiding that children live in a "protective bubble"

My interviwe with Camela

They promised me that they would invite me to a concert. I asked them what their inspiration was. They said they were inspired by their past loves.
     

         Finally they also told me that in a concert, a girl had fainted because of the emotion.
     
         I thanked them for the interview.

Interview with Mario Casas

- We also talked about love, and about the way men used to treat women in those days. He told me he did not like the way young people behaved today with women who should never have lost the old values ​​in that aspect.

-When I asked him his best memory of his childhood, he answered me "to play peacefully in the streets without fear of cars, to have my door open during the day without fear of being robbed, not like you,  all day stuck to video games".
