Writing - A for and against essay (2) - Holidays abroad are better than staycations.

Nowadays, some people believe that staycations are better than holidays abroad because they think that in staycations you can be more relaxed. However, in holidays abroad you would go to another places that probably you wouldn´t go in your live.

In the one hand, staycations  will be more relaxed because you are comfortable in your home and they are cheaper, if you want to save money to buy a special thing for you, staycations is a good way to do it.

In the other hand, holidays abroad you will go to another country or city and you will see very beautiful landscapes that in your house you won´t see.

In my view, holidays abroad are the best holidays that you can do, specially if you go to another countries. It´s a good kind of holidays, and it would be good to improve our culture.

Writing - A for and against essay - Individual sports, Team sports.

Some people believe that play team sports is better than individual sports because playing individual you   don´t meet new persons. However, playing individualy could be a great experience.

On the one hand, playing team sports is funny because you don´t only play with other persons you play with mates that in the future they could be your friends. In team sports you have to be worried for you and for your team. This could be bad for example, if you are in a team and you play all your games.

On the other hand, playing individual sports could be good because you depend of you and if you are good at this sport you will win and enjoy it. However you are playing alone (nobody like to play alone) and you don´t meet new mates and probably friends.

I had played individual sports and team sports so, in my view, I think that is better to play team sports because you could pass a great time apart of playing, you will pas a great time with your mates and if you play individualy or you are good at this sport or you probably get bored.

Writing - An opinion essay - Online shopping is better than high street shopping.

ONLINE SHOPPING VS HIGH STREET SHOPPING

Nowadays, people often talk about if it is better buy in online shopping than high street shopping because in online shopping is cheaper than high street shopping. However, online shopping have their problems; you can buy a shoes in one colour and when it arrives at your home the colour can be very different from the online shop (it could be more examples like size...).
In my opinion, online shopping is good but not in all things. For example, I buy my football T-shirts online, because buy an original T-shirt is so much expensive and online it are very similar and cheaper but when i have to buy another clothes (no sports clothes) I often go to shops looking for bargains but sometimes i end buying expensive clothes because i can´t find any cheaper.
Furthermore, I think that nowadays it´s good try to save money but not in clothes because the cheap clothes could turn out expensive clothes.
In conclusion, I believe that buy in online shops is better than buy in other shops but no is the best way to buy things, especially if we are talking about things like phones or laptos or tv´s which are so expensive and try to buy it online it couldn´t be a great idea.
