FOR AND AGAINST - Marina Mateos

OPTION 1:

In today's world, it's well known that people pirate music but, is it right to do it? Some people argue that this should end but some others claim that companies already have enough money. 

To begin with, listening to music from pirate webs or downloading it without paying it is a way for us not to spend a high amount of money. With this last part in mind, we must say that there are people who cannot afford to pay for music and it is not very fair that because of their economy they cannot enjoy music. Furthermore, with the idea on the introduction, i should say that some prices are to expensive and this let see that companies only want music for money and do not see the singer's effort to do everything because a lot of this money goes to the record company and not to the artist, of course, there are sometimes that this does not happen but they are few.

On the other hand, we have the part that if we buy the music the artist can see how many people are enjoying his music, besides the record company will see that this singer is worth it and then it will make his career continue.

On balance, I  believe that althought this is wrong, downloading music illegally is better. There are many 

ways to show the record label the taste we have in your artist

OPTION 2:

Speaking different languages ​​has many practical benefits that are very helpful in an increasingly globalized world. Despite all the benefits, bilingualism has advantages, but does it also have disadvantages?

First, academics have seen bilingualism as an advantage for a developed brain. Learning and speaking a different language exposes us to a different world and improves our perception.

In my opinion, one of the reasons why it is important to know more than one language is that it increases cultural awareness and allows you to communicate with different people and improve your communication skills.

On the other hand, when bilingual people speak it is not unusual for them to mix different languages ​​when they have a conversation and can even create new non-existent words.

In addition, bilinguals can use expressions in one language that could have a different connotation in another and could be offensive.

As far as I am concerned, bilingualism is a good and useful thing, whether in labor or social issues, but it is also a tool to learn about other cultures.
