'The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities.' Do you agree?
Nowadays, technology offers great possibilities to the press because they can provide information so quickly. Some people suggest that celebrities should accept that losing their privacy is the price they pay for fame. Personally, I do not believe this.
Firstly, I believe that all humans beings have a right to privacy as they usually are famous because of their job whether they are actors, singers or anything else. Moreover, the more the public read about celebrities, the more obsessed they become with finding out moreand this is a huge problem since celebrities can't do their life normally.
Secondly, people get a lot of enjoyment from reading about their favourite celebrities. Therefore, the more information the press give, the more interest people have.
In conclusion, I'm convinced that the constant attention from paparazzi and reporters can affect the mental health of a celebrity. So, in my view, the press should stop giving a lot of information about famous people.

A narrative by Laura Rodríguez
The day I overcame my fears
It was a dark night, I was going home after a party. My friends arrived home earlier than me and I had to walk home alone. I was terrified because the moon wasn't shining and the street lights didn't work.
At first everything was going well but then, I saw a shadow behind me. I hated darkness so I started running far away from there but something strange happened, the shadow was still behind me.
Eventhough I was really afraid I decided to turn around and I didn't see anything. I thought I was crazy, for that reason I continued my way without thinking about what had happened.
I saw again that shadow and, as soon as I saw it, I knew what it was, it was my shadow!
Finally I arrived home safe and sound. I was proud of me due to the fact that I'd overcame my fear and since then, I've been brave.
A short story, by Oana Mosutiu
Josh was a little boy with big dreams. He had always been full of life, playing all day long and enjoying his childhood. Nobody could've thought that life was going to be so cruel for him.
He was only 4 when he was diagnosed with cancer. His parents were devastated: their little shining star was slowly fading. He was too young to understand what was going on but still knew that something wasn't right. As his mood was slowly decliving, his parents decided to bring a little spot of happiness in his life and brought him a dog. Toby, the new member of the family, and Josh became inseparable, and the little animal helped the kid to deal better with the illness until Josh lost the fight.
Sometimes we don't need big things in life in order to make it easier. Sometimes we only need to have a paw on our cheek and a wet snout to feel that not everything is as bad as it seems. Even if Josh didn't succeed in his fight against cancer, with the help that Toby provided to him, the struggle was less rough.

A topic essay, by Oana Mosutiu
Nowadays we are able to find out about any famous person's life only by browsing the internet for a couple of minutes or buying the magazines that are sold near our houses. We can not only be informed of general facts of their lives, but also of private things that easily come to light. As far as I am concerned, I do not believe this is right, because although they are people known by everyone, they have the right of keeping facts of their lives in privacy.
Firstly, we must be aware of the fact that all human beings have a right to privacy, so the press shouldn't publish things that celebrities don't want to. Of course they need publicity to remain in the public eye, but there must be some limits that shouldn't be crossed.
Secondly, it is known that constant attention from paparazzi and reporters can affect the mental health of a celebrity, so this is another good reason for the press to be careful while trying to find out about the latest gossips.
As I see it, the public has the right of knowing what is happening in celebrities' lives, but celebrities have a right to privacy, so there must be a balance between this in order to please everyone.

A biography, by Oana Mosutiu
Ed Sheeran is a famous singer and songwriter. He was born on February 1991 in Halifax, England. He spent his childhood sorrounded by instruments and music. He started playing the guitar and showed an early promise as a musical talent. At the age of 11 he met Damien Rice, who told him to write his own music. Soon afterwards he did so, following Rice's advice.
In his mid teens, he left his house and headed to London with his guitar and a backpack full of clothes to fulfill his dream of being a successful singer. Throughout his time there, he released two albums and began opening for established acts. In 2009 he was playing more than 300 liveshows. A year later, he posted a video online and attracted Example's attention, a rapper, who asked him to go on the road with him as his opening act.
The same year, 2010, he headed to the U.S. There, Jamie Foxx asked Ed to appear on his Sirius radio show. Soon after, in January 2011, he reached No. 2 in Itunes chart without any promotion and signed on with Atlantic Records the same month. With Atlantic, Sheeran released his most successful album, "+", an instant hit. Soon afterwards, he began co-writing songs with bigger artists, such as One Direction and Taylor Swift. In 2014, his son "I see fire" was featured in the movie "The Hobbit: The Desolation of the Smoug", and in June 2014, his next album, "X", appeared and reached No. 1 in the U.S. and the U.K. What I admire most about him is that he started from the bottom and became one of the greatest artists from our times.

Hi Tom!
How're you? I'm writing to you because it's been a long time since we last talked.
As you know, Christmas time is nearly here, so my friends and I have decided to travel abroad to have a good time and learn new stuff, to. So I wanted to ask you few things about Dublin, because we'd be delighted to visit it since it's a place that has drawn our attention for several months. It'd be awesome if you could come up with ideas of interesting things to do, how's weather like in there during Christmas season, what kind of clothes should we bring or what types of food we're going to be able to give a try to, for example.
Thanks for it, I hope we can see each other soon and I'll let you know more details about our trip. You can come too if you want, we'd be delighted to have you as a guest.
Lots of love,
Oana

A narrative essay, by Oana Mosutiu
What I'm about to explain happened many years ago. I've always been afraid of heights. The fact that when I lived in Romania our flat was on the 6th floor never helped me to overcome that irrational fear. But that had to come to an end.
It was the first time my family and I were going to travel by plane. Until the, all the journeys from Romania to Spain that we had made were by bus, which meant lots of hours without sleeping comfortably, without going to the bathroom, etc. The reason was my fear of heights. But my mom decided that I was old enough to get over that. As soon as we got in the plane, I was terrified. I started to shake and I couldn't move my legs forward. But everything was OK, and I really enjoyed that flight eventually.
You should never be afraid of trying something that you're scared of. The way that things can end up may surprise you in a good way. Since my first flight, I've never been afraid of taking a plane again. Just think about this: guts over fear.
