SHOULD EXAMS DISAPPEAR FROM SCHOOLS? ( opinion eassey)

SHOULD EXAMS DISAPPEAR FROM SCHOOLS?

Nowadays we are in a socety where the education is very important for our lives because if we didn't studied, it walld be difficut to find the job that we want to work in, but in all the schools we have to do exams to demostrate that we have the level that they want, but are exams the best alternative?

First of all, in my opinion there's no better alternative because there are more alternatives to demostrate what we know. For example when we were a child we did not do exams to schow our oarents that we know their names, or we didn't do an exam to know how  we have to eat.
In life not all has to be an exam.

Secondly, we can find better alternatives. for example, to do a game about the subject or make an oral about the subject. That can help as to expein what we  study, and it be better.

In conclusion i want to say that from my point of view  exams are a waste of time, because after the exam we forget all, and why we have to do exams if we live in a real world.

Writing Unit 2 Opinion eassey (veganism)

why  haven´t people become vegetarian?

Is veganism a right choice? Is Veganism a good lifestyle? more than 15% of population of the European Union are vegan and in our opinion It's harmful for people.

First of all, thtough history we can see that humans had been eating meat since the very beginner. Vegetarian resources were scare, so people had to be nomads to find more food. Being nomadic requires a big amount of energy that is why they had to hunt a lot. Meat has a high quality of protein, there are a lot of scientists that say that meat enables the human brain to get larger and develop.

Secondly, a lot of vegan people say that butchers are slaughtering animals using violent methods to do it. Of course we are against these methods but It's not an excuse to forbid meat because there are a lot of ecological butcher methods 

In coclusion, we believe that veganism doesn't hyelp animals but It's an ideology that we have to respect. However, these people have to research more information about animals and then choose the way that they like.
