DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?

I reckon most people have thought at least once in our lives what would happen if we could live for more than a hundred years. Some scientists think they will learn how to stop people growing older by the end of a decade and in consequence people would live an averange of 1,200 years.

 In my opinion that's so incredible and unimaginable. On the one hand, it would be amazing if I could live long enough as I would be able to do many more things, I would enjoy life, meet my descendants and know how the world would be like in such a long time.

 But in the other hand, it might could be a little boring to live a thousand years in the same planet, so in conclusion I wouldn't know how to do since I would be afraid to die , but it would be very strange to live until year 3,000.

 I think in the year 3,000 the world will be very different, just like year 1000 was very different from year 2,000. Surely, in year 3,000 cars will fly, men and women will be taller than now, and they will live an averange of 120 years, tecnology will be incredible, we just have to look how tecnology has advanced in the last 50 years, so in almost a thousand years, I can't imagine it!!

EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN ENGLISH

Nowadays, English is one of the most commonly language among foreign language speakers. Furthemore, we study it in Spanish schools. However, there are many people that don't like English and who think that this language should be optional. There are several points to consider.

On the one hand, learning English is quite important as it's the second most spoken language in the world, after Chinese language. Moreover, when people of different countries come together they usually use English to communicate, or when you go on holiday to another country you can use it to exchange information. In addition, it's easier to get a job if you can speak this language, so we can say that English opens doors. It is said that English is a different language to learn, but we are used to listening American songs which are English and there are also lots of apps to learn it, where we can also make friends with people from other countries.

On the other hand, some people think it isn't necessary to learn English since it takes a lot of time and effort and as I've said before, it's such a difficult language. Another reason is that Spanish is spoken by millions of people so, why shoulf we learn English if lots of people speak Spanish? That's probably what most people think. Furthemore, when you go on holiday to another part of the world, you don't need to use the local language.

All in all, there are advantages and disavantages of learning English, but I reckon it's so important for everyone to have tje opportunity of learning a foreign language, either English or German, French, etc, since we are going to need languages more and more.
