FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY:


Lowering the age teenagers get a driving licence:

The aim of this report is to consider the advantages and disadvantages of lowering, maintaining or increasing the age of getting a driving licence. There are some countries like Spain, where you can get a license when you are eighteen; or countries like the USA, where you can get a licence when you are just sixteen.


There are many reasons to lower the age at which you can get a licence. Nowadays, teenagers want to go outside at night earlier and come back home later. It would be a good reason to get a licence. Furthermore, teenagers have friends out from their born city, and parents spend all day driving their sons and daughtersfrom one place to another. Last but not least, it’s safer to drive a car than a motorbike.


However, not all the things are advantages. Firstly, teenagers are really unconscious and they do not respect traffic signals. Moreover, they want to drive really at high speeds on the road. Likewise, they suffer a lot of accidents and the car insurances for them are more expensive.


To sum up, there is equality between the advantages and disadvantages of decreasing the age to get a driving licence. As far as I am concerned, I think the government should maintain the law about getting a driving licence when people are eighteen.

DESCRIPITION OF A PLACE:

BAR LA PLAÇA:

My favourite bar in Berga is definitely Bar La Plaça. There are a lot of bars in Berga, about 120, but La Plaça is special. It is an old building in the old village, near the cinema. This bar is a great place to watch a football match with your friends.


The interior of the bar is really beautiful. The walls are covered with photographs of Patum and of the staff of the bar. There are also some pictures of famous musicians of many different styles: Bob Marley (reggae), Rolling Stones (rock), The Beatles (pop)...

The outside is also worth mentioning. It is a square called “Plaça del Forn”. If you want, you can drink something outside at the tables there are there. You can also smoke there.


The bar is famous all over Berga for the jazz concerts they organize. There are more than twenty-five types of beer on the menu, but it isn't all. You can also play cards or darts there.

However, you should know that you can't have dinner there. You just can eat a snack.
