Como veréis si le echáis un ojo al PDF, la gran mayoría de los ensayos de selectividad son de opinión. Y aunque es difícil predecir el tema del examen, esta clasificación nos puede dar una idea de los temas más recurrentes. Por otro lado, estar al tanto de las noticias de actualidad y seguir la prensa británica y americana nos puede ayudar bastante a sacar una buena nota.

Do you think women and men have the same opportunities in life?

               Nowadays, society has changed a lot if you compare it to years ago, but we have a lot of work to do and continue the change especially in equality. because, Do women and men have the same opportunities?

               In my point of view, we don't have achieved all of our goals. Women continue having problems in our society. For instance, when they are in an interview for work in some place, many times they are going to answer the question about whether they want to have a baby soon, because if she wants it, she is considered a problem to the company. However, it isn't a problem for men.

               Also, it is not the only problem. We live in a developed country, but there are a lot of places where girls continue to be mutilated by men. They can't go to school, they wear clothes which hide their body and in many cases their faces.

               All in all, of course the situation is not the same as it was years ago. But in my opinion, we have a long way toward equality between people. This work is only in our hands, we have to fight to get a better world.

Write about your favorite film.

Actually, there are a lot of movies very interesting. I like the romantic movies like “Tres metros sobre el cielo”, although, I like the dramatic movies too, like “lo imposible”. Nowadays my favorite film is 1917.

Firstly, I talk about “1917”. Is a film which the principal character is a man who his name is Will. He is in the First War World. Will and his friend must do a mission. This film has a happy end, nevertheless, it has a bad end too in light of the death of his friend.

In my view, that film is so good because the people who see it can feel the feelings of the principal characters. It is a hard movies because there are a lot of deaths and blood, although the ending is happy too.

Finally, If I were you, I would seen this film because is so interesting for all of the people.

What would you do to help poor people in your country?

 

Despite all the unprecedented progress that our country has experienced in the past century, there are still many families living on the margins of society. And there is more we could do collectively.

Personally, I would start by providing them with enough opportunities to escape the poverty trap. First, I would improve our educational system to level the playing field. They say that knowledge is power. However, poor students don’t finish secondary education or, in the worst cases, primary education. Therefore, I would invest in building more schools in the poorest areas of the country.

In addition, I would raise awareness about the impact of poverty on the people living on the fringes of society. Some people might want to help, but they just don’t know how. Hence, I would provide them with as much information as possible in order to promote fundraisings, donations, and volunteerism, among many other initiatives. This way, we would increase civic participation and encourage social inclusion.

As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there is a way and I believe this is the ideal time to start caring more about others in order to build a better society.

·        To live on the margins of society/ vivir en los márgenes de la sociedad  

·        The poverty trap/ la trampa de la pobreza

·        Knowledge is power/ saber es poder

·        Level the playing field/ establecer condicciones de igualdad

·        Raise awareness/ concienciar

·        To live in the fringes of society/ vivir en los márgenes de la sociedad

·         Hence/ por lo tanto 

·        Where there’s a will, there’s a way. / Querer es poder
