First day

   I was tired but at the same time, I was terrified. It was my first day. I had gone last year so it’s the same academy. I usually have a coffee and a piece of toast but that day I was starving then I ate fruit, cereals, some bread and two cups of coffee.

The first day it was exciting but I don’t know why I was so frightened. I was going to meet a lot of people and a new teacher. I got on well with the last year’s classmates. This year I had a different feeling.

Michael… this year was our captain, he was positive and happy and also a really strict teacher. At this moment we didn’t know that this year is going to happen.

Sport and health

There are some dangerous and extreme sports. For example, pulling tonne´s trucks on a rope, surfing a six-metre wave, and running an ulthra marathon in a desert. However, how much exercise should we do? According to a study, adults should be doing 150 minutes of moderate exercis e or seventy-five minutes of vigorous exercise each week. This includes strength exercises and aerobic activities like jogging or cycling, which improve stamina . Experts recommend a mixture of low-impact exercise and high-impact activities (such as running and jumping). Additionally, another recommendation is exercises that improve flexibility , for instance, yoga or pilates. From my view, people need to find an exercise type that they enjoy and then make it part of their daily routine.  Can you be able to do thirty minutes of moderate exercise per day? Alternatively, why don't you practice thirty minutes of vigorous activity three times a week?

The last straw - La gota que colmó el vaso

 "The last straw" is an expression in British English that is used to describe a situation where something small or seemingly insignificant becomes the final straw, meaning the situation that makes someone reach their limit and can't tolerate any more. This comes from the idea of adding straws to a bundle of hay until one more straw is what breaks the whole bundle. The earliest recorded use of a similar phrase was in Charles Dickens' novel "Dombey and Son" in 1848, where he wrote, " As the last straw breaks the laden camel's back ." This suggests that the concept behind the idiom was already well-established in English language and culture by the mid-19th century. So while we don't have a specific, pinpointed origin, it's safe to say that the concept of the final, decisive event or factor causing a person to reach their limit has been a part of English language and culture for a very long time. Examples: 1. After weeks of working non-s...
