The economic crisis live our country have worsened the conditions of employment. For example, now, a spanish licensed doesn´t earn as money as germany licensed. The same happen with the other workers. Also a spanish workers doesn´t find emply as fast as germany workers. Now, the spanish workers will work as many years as germany workers. In addition, the spanish´s bills are as expensive as germany´s bills. The result, the worker´s spanish doesn´t live as well as germany´s workers.

My favorite way to communicate is cell phones because you can to stay in communicate whit many people. In market I prefer brand´s apple  even it´s as expensive prizes as others companies because your cell phones was a warranty and if you need to change in this period Apple give you a other cell phones not  as others companies as .
The products of others brands aren´t as light as products of apple even the app or characteristics of apple are as much as their.
You can to see a lot of similar products but in my opinion not as beautiful in the design  as the Apple´s products in fact Cell phones.

English Writing: Things Have Changed

Patricia
Five years ago my bedroom used to be small, but now it´s bigger than that one because I change my room. My family used to move to other place, and now I live alone.  In the other side my friends used to go out of Spain, and this year they come back because they get a new job here in Spain. Five years ago I used to go to university, I studied economics and journalism. And now I´m looking for a work.  In the past I used to like comical movies and funny TV programs. In this time I like mystery movies because it´s more interesting. And finally five years ago I used to think that I live in Madrid, but now I think that I have to go out, maybe The United States.

My old customs.

There is credence that the old person have more rarities than young people.

In my case, it isn´t. When I was a little girl, I have many rarity. For example, I didn´t use to go up elevator of mi home. Now, I don´t use to go up stairs. Before, I always used to sit in the same place of sofa. Now, I use to sit in the place is free.

When I was young, I used to meet with my friends all afternoons. Now, we use to meet only the Saturdays. I used to go my work in subway, since some months I use to go my work in my car. Before, I didn´t use to see the films in English. Now, I used to see the films in her original lenguaje. There is some examples that the customs change with the step time, the people doesn´t change our customs by her age.

English Writing-Cell Phones

Anais
I have a cell phone. I think it is very useful because you can use it for many things, make a call, send emails, searching in internet... But the most important is "Communicate".
You must use your cell phone politely, and never talk and drive!!!
For me, one problem is choose the right plan. More companies raise prices execissively, and you can pay less and do the same things with your cell phone.

Cristina

ANDROID OR APPLE?

I choose Apple. I have had an Iphone for the last two years. It´s a Iphone 4, it´s a good cell phone. You can use either Iphone or Android to call, answer the phone, send a text message, take photographs, etc… But the differences between one and the other are a lot. Iphones are more thin and light, it has a bigger touchscreen and the quality of its photos is better. In conclusion Iphones are smarter. By this reasons and similar reasons, millions of persons in the world have a Iphone. Apple sold five millions of Iphone 5 in the last year. When my Iphone will be broken, I´ll buy another again.

Aida
In my opinion the cell phones are very useful because in this moment the communication with our friends and familiars are constant. 

I have a cell phone and I need to use all the time, its a illness because I can´t be without my cell phone. It´s a new complement more in my accessories that my handbag 

Forever they need to  know that happened in all time, You can to upload a photo in your profile´s  Facebook  if you have a cell phone last generation and  in this moment all your friends can add a comment , it´s incredible the speed that I have in our days. 

In addition the cell phones to use for emergency in any time, if you need to call at 3 o ´ clock and you stand in a beach you can to call if you have a cell phone´s and you don´t need to look for a phone.

But the cell phone´s can be hazardous if you don´t use correctly, for example , if you go in your car and you receive a call you can to choose in answer the phone and to be in dangerous situation or you ignore this call and call back when you don´t to stay in your car. All information of your life that bank code, photos, contacts are in your cell phones  and if you lost it you lost secret information too.

Zulema

I think that the cell phones are the invention of this century. Today the cell phones afford it to communicate all day and all sites. Now  you don’t need to be in house or in the office for to call by phone. You can call in the street, in one airport, in the sea…;when you have a problem in the car, in the street in the night…you ever can to call. When you work out the office you can solve the problems by phone. The same with the children, you can know  your children where are!.

But the cell phone are very cheap. The Telephone Companies charge much. To have a cell phone is not expensive.

Sometime talk on the cell phone no polite, because a Think wold be banned to talk in the train, plane, cinema. I think turn off the cell phone in all places with people dreams.
