Have you ever wanted to meet someone famous? Which celebrity would you like to talk to? Mostpeople would say a singer or actor, but wouldn’t it be more interesting to meet someone known for his knowledge in many areas? The one I would like to talk to is no one other than Leonardo da Vinci. When I mention his name, most people only think of … [Read more...]
Will you Travel with us? – Ariadna Pérez, Laura Pérez and Luz De Oraa 1 BACH
Wonderful job done by three excellent students: Ariadna, Laura and Luz. Unfortunately, you cannot see their presentation, but it was certainly a gift to me. They had to think up and present a trip from start to finish, for which they created an agency, TBGA, especialised in helping young people explore the world while gaining experiences. You may … [Read more...]
Always Hopeful – Guille López de la Rosa (2ºBACH)
It was Christmas Eve, under the tree I found a trip as a present that would take us to the city where this story would begin. My family and I traveled for a few days to the city that never sleeps, New York, a “concrete jungle where dreams come true”. It was there, among the skyscrapers and flashing cars, in the hustle and bustle of the … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving Day is Everyday – Miriam Elorduy (2º BACH)
Is happiness a feeling or is it in our nature? Thinkers and philosophers have been discussing the definition for thousands of years. Safety, contentment and success are all aligned with happiness, but what makes one person happy may not work for someone else. Nevertheless, gladness does play a pretty important role in our lives, and it can have a … [Read more...]
Environmentally Friendly – Irune Tomé (1ºBACH)
The fact that the human being is destroying the world is something we cannot ignore. The poles are melting and as a result of this, the sea level is rising, seas are becoming more polluted because we are constantly throwing rubbish to them, and some species are becoming extinct because of our lack of respect towards the environment. Only when we … [Read more...]
The Healing Effect of Nature – Lucía Galdón (2ºBACH)
I could literally write paragraphs about it, but I will try to limit myself to a few lines. You end up living some of the best experiences when you least expect them, and you don’t have to travel far away to have them, normally they are next to you. Some months ago, I went camping with some friends in order to escape from our busy lives and … [Read more...]
Taking Risks Makes Life Worth Living – Jon Uribarri (2ºBACH)
I have recently read your feature "Taking risks makes life worth living" in your last issue. I understand the point you make on it because it is clear that never taking risks in life would make our existence quite dull. Nevertheless, every time someone decides to take risks, possible consequences, which might not be pleasant, should be … [Read more...]
Witch to Trial – Inés Van Herckenrode (2º BACH)
As we stood in that great salon, we wondered what our punishment would be. Many men looked at us with disgust but we could also feel their fear, even though we were the ones tied from head to toes. We missed our home in Zugarramurdi and our sisters, who luckily managed to escape but while we listened to those men talk nonsense, we knew without any … [Read more...]
I Was There – Silvia Salas (2ºBACH)
Living in Russia was difficult during that time. Prices, especially those of food rose, and hunger widespread. Citizens were furious and started striking all around the city. I didn’t know what to do, I was just 16 years old. Even my parents didn’t know how they could improve life in Russia anymore. I guess that was the reason why my father … [Read more...]
