Education is very important for society. It is very important in the development of the individual, too. However, there
are many methods of learning and ways to develop students’ abilities, so it’s very difficult to decide which are the best
paths to educational success. Nothing demonstrates this more than the differences between the lifestyles of high
school students and university students. First of all, high school students just have to follow the rules and obey their
teachers. In contrast, university students have more responsibilities than high school students. They have to be more
independent and make decisions by themselves. For example, they have to manage their schedules and do
assignments. Second, high school students usually have more fun than university students. Their lives are not so
serious. They are free and they do more fun activities. University students, however, don’t often have much free time.
And they are more stressed because their exams are more difficult. In conclusion, it seems clear that different
educational situations and environments are appropriate for different age groups. Perhaps, we need to try and pick the
best aspects of the lifestyles of high school students and university students. Then, perhaps we will create better
educational systems for the future.

Task A : Circle T for True and F for False

1 You can develop students’ abilities in different ways. T F

2 High school students are not so independent. T F
3 University students enjoy themselves more than high school students. T F

my last holidays

In my last holidays I went to Bariloche, I travelled by plane with my parents, the flight was uncomfortable because a
baby was crying and I was scared, it was my first travel in plane. I stayed two weeks in Bariloche.

There I climbed mountains, bought many chocolates and I visited the river “Nahuel huapi”. There I liked climbing
mountains, It was my favorite activity.

in Bariloche I visited my uncle, because I haven’t seen him for five years.

In my opinion Bariloche is a beautiful city with amazing mountains, delicious traditional food and the best chocolate.
But I didn’t like coffee, it’s ugly. I never in my life I drank a horrible coffee like that
