Some young children spend a great amount of their time practicing sports. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. Use specific reason and examples to support your answer.
ResponderEliminarMany people believe that playing sports is very important, but other people think that too much sport is also wrong. According to newspaper ABC more than 79% of children practice sport.
On the one hand there is no doubt that practice sport is always good, besides sports can help children to socialize when they are younger and not lose weight, because do sport and an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
On the other hand children when they are young spend too much time playing and they forget to do their homework or study, the studies are very important and they have to do their homework if they want to go out to play, last but not last children have to be good and do nothing wrong when they go to the park.
Personally, I think children should spend much time play with other children but if they have their homework because all good things come to an end, children are children and they have to play.

Good afternoon Esmeralda!
EliminarPresta atención! Cuando usemos un verbo al principio de frase ,se indica con gerundio -ing! practicing sport not practice
Please include more connectors (addition, contrast)
Needless to say the importance of practise any exercice, one, two or three times week; it´s help you to keep you fit and healthy.
ResponderEliminarThere are a certain number of parents who sign up their children to many out of school activities. Do you know the problems and profits of this?
On the one hand, it´s obviously, that do exercice, such as Karate, Judo or dance, help the children to keep fit, they can obtain a physical and mood improvement; clearly, is necesary have a good feed. In addiction, while children are pratice for this activities, meanwhile, their parents can work, without being worried. Apart of this, parents with their children can do exercice together, go mountainbike, treking, swimming… It helps to have a better relationship among both. I remember when I was child, that my all my family was going to the montain every weekend, and these helped me to clear me.
On the other hand, to put it in to a nutshell, children have to enjoy their childhood themselves, they can sign up to any sport, Nonetheless, they should,t spend a great amount of their time practicing sports. What is more, they must study; if they are in complicated degrees, it will difficult to do the two tasks. Don´t pu tall your eggs in one basket, that is, don´t invest all your effort in just one thing.
As far as, i´m concerned, that chidren must play with another children, enjoy their childhood, snd if they want, sign up in any sports, without taking up much time.
Comments! Noelia when we use PREP+ V-ING (the importance of PRACTICING )It helps you to keep fit and healthy
EliminarThere is a certain number
It's obvious that DOING (el verbo funciona como sustantivo y adopta la -ING)
In addition (spelling) while children are practiSING
AMONG (MÁS DE UNO) BETWEEN (ENTRE DOS)
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS CHILD, that my all my family used to go to the mountain every weekend
Everyone knows that practicing sport is something very important. However, when applied to young children a number of key issues arise from. That is why we often ask ourselves whether it is good for young children to spend many hours exercising or not.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand it is logical to think that it is good for them, it helps them to relate to other children their age. It also helps them develop and sports like playing soccer, playing basketball, riding a bike ... can be very beneficial for them. It is important to have a good diet and to practice sports although it is something difficult to do so don´t count your chickens before you´re hatched.
On the other hand, if children spend a lot of time doing sports they take away activities from other essential things such as education. Furthermore it is very important that children have a good education.
In conclusion, I think that we should let children play sports if they want to. It is good for them to be with people their age without leaving education aside. Children must have a happy childhood.
AVOID THE WORDS: IMPORTANT! (use synonyms relevant, essential)
EliminarYou repeat important 4 times! AND GOOD!
Nowdays, too mucho people do sport often. Many people think that sport has many advantages but nevertheless its detractors do not think the same. But, is sport really useful?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, sport increases physical capacity and helps you to lose weight. Sport is always healthy if it is accompanied by a good diet rich in fiber and carbohydrates. In addition, sport has become a job for several people in different sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, etc. Many people are fond of sports and watching it on television.
On the other hand, sport also has disadvantages. Some sports are risky and therefore your life is in great danger so "a friend in need is a friend indeed. Moreover, sports can take time from your obligations, such as studies and work, essential things in your daily life. Furthemore, It is better that it can cost you a lot of money since in some sports you need very expensive material.
To conclude, advantages are more greater than disadvantages. Let sleeping dogs lie so everyone have to do what you want

ResponderEliminar-SOME YOUNG CHILDREN SPEND A GREAT AMONG OF THEIR TIME PRACTICING SPORTS. DISCUSS THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THIS-
For the great majority of people, sport is a beneficial activity. The benefits of sport are significant and enormous. Health improvements lead to a longer life expectancy as well as a more effective intellectual development. In today’s society, increasing numbers of parents are realising the importance of sport in their kids life. And that's why more and more children participate in after school activities relating to sports.
With regard to health issues, there are many benefits to be gained from doing sports. For example, those kids who spend time practising sports as well as enjoying the nature are less likely to develop vision problems, as well as depression and so on. Besides that, there are several studies that show the benefits of an active and fit lifestyle for the prevention of obesity in both adults and children. And think the long-term objective of this, in other words, consider the benefits of achieving a healthy weight, a reduced risk of serious health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes, increased energy and improved self-esteem. Additionally, there are numerous psychological and emotional state benefits of playing sports meaning many researches show that sport is an ideal activity for children’s well/being, nut not just physically, mentally also. For example, sport can help control their emotion. There is a phrase that says it all: “I can do this”. And that’s true, we have the capacity to do almost all things if we really want to. It leads to a more positive self-loving attitude.
And now, I want to speak from my own experience in that area. From the age of three, I have been part of the national Ski team and I am fully aware and I don't have the least of doubt that I am very fortunate to be part of the world of sport. It has helped me get closer to my longer term goals an it has also provided me with an opportunity to learn and grow professionally and have a lot of new friends. Nevertheless, there are disadvantages too. Those kids who spend a great among of their time practising sports, need also time to study and play with friends and develop social skills outside of organised sports. Furthermore, playing sports requires a significant financial investment. It can also become overwhelming because of parental intrusion and not all kids find relief from stress on the field, some kids feel more stress there.
To sum up, I would like to emphasise once again the importance of sports both for health issues and for social skills development. The children who take part in teams, for example, will learn to work with others and support them. They will have also a better coordination and it has also emotional benefits. Therefore, overall the advantages are greater than the disadvantages.
EXCELLENT LUCÍA, WELL DONE!
EliminarChildren are very nervous. They always have to do things like play, walk etc... In general do things entertaining. As far as I´m concerned parents often enroll their children in after-school sports that reason.
ResponderEliminarAdvantages are that doing sport for childrens is very healthy. Also when childrens are little, they can discovered his hobbies and decided if they want in afuture , dedication it. Needless to say that in team sport they can learn for example , the fellowship "There is no I in team"
Disadvantages are that children can't study long enough because they with school and sports ending very late.
Nonetheless, they are more likely to have accidents. For example, those who play soccer often have casts, crutches etc.. "no pain, no gain".
Needless to say that do sport is recommended for children, but they don't have to spend the whole afternoon on it. To put it into a nutshell they should play sports about twice a week.

ResponderEliminarSome young children spend a great amount of their time practicing sports. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. Use specific reasons and examples to support you.
Do sport is one of the fiction of most people in the world. I could say that may be it's the option that all the world would choose between other thing.
I think do sport is beneficial to us for different reasons but there are people that think it don't help our health. About it I need say that we shouldn't judge something before try it.
A great example could be a girl that have problems like depression or someone sad all time. The best option is go out and feel the air in your face, then, if you have a dog, you must play with he or she and enjoy the time you spend together. Moreover, your body will become fitness.
By another hand, like everethings, it have a nevagive side. Typical laces or low blood sugar that make your body feel weak, so you have to be careful. If you think you don't have effort to do sport, a stich in time saves nine, it means that is worth to stay walking on the street if it's hard to you.
In conclusion, if you want to do sport, you will get it because better late than never.
Doing sport (el verbo al principio de oración funciona como sustantivo, va en -ing
EliminarTambién cuando escribes "I think do (es incorrecto) I think DOING sport , nuevamente, el verbo tiene la función de sustantivo
ERROR BÁSICO: you must play with HIM (NOT HE/SHE) HIM OR HER que son las formas de OBJETO You body will become FIT
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT HAS A NEGATIVE SIDE.
How have men's and women's roles changed in your country over the last 50 years?
ResponderEliminarIt is a well-known fact that in the present women's roles have changed with time and has been positive.
As we all know , womans had been "until recently" undervalued. Mens have always been above women. For example, because they were men could work, but in comparison with womans, who was fragil symbol, her job was the housework like make the food, scrub , sweep ..etc
Before people didn't want to hire women, and now there is a law that requires a certain number of women and men. Also there are laws to protect women because in the past there was a lot of abuse by their husbands.
As opposed to past, at the present time , each person does freely what he or she considers to be according to his or her needs and tastes without regard to gender. Women's roles and men's roles today are increasingly the same.
For me, as time goes by, women and men are going to come to the same level of equality.
MISTAKES:
ResponderEliminarWOMEN not WOMANS
MEN not MENS
wOMEN were more fragile
Better than in other ocassions, keep working!
