EMAIL TO THE TEACHER

Dear Sonia,

I have to say that I'm very happy to start a new year (finally the last one) with you as a teacher and with all my classmates. For you to know me better I have decided to tell you about me and also about my dreams
Well, first of all, as you may know my name is Vincent and I'm 17 years old. I live in Empuriabrava, Catalonia, even if I'm from France.
I have a lot of dreams and they are actually very important for me, I just hope that maybe one of them could become real in the future.
My biggest dream is to be an actor. Since ever this dream has always been very present in my own. I wouldn't know how to explain you why I wanna be an actor, I guess I just love this world and to have a special job like this would be really perfect to me.
I still haven't done aything to try to make it real, and that's why I decided that next year, after finishing high school I will probably take a gap year in Paris to take classes and to see if it's really possible that one day I could be an actor.
That's it Sonia! Hope you liked my dream, if you have any advice, don't doubt, tell me!

Thanks for your attention :)

DORIAN GRAY: EXAM ESSAY

It seems that to Oscar Wilde, beauty and youth were the most important things in life, just like Lord Henry, a character of The portrait of Dorian Gray, and I think that it's not correct because for me there a lot of basic aspects of our life that are most important than being good looking and young, such as health or education, so I believe that with this philosophy, Wilde is being very superficial and materialist.

I also disagree with Wilde when he says that when you get older your beauty flies away, because sometimes older people can be as beautiful or more beautiful than people, but maybe in different ways. I do really conceive that even if old people are sometimes wrinkled they can also be very nice looking and charming.

In conclusion, I consider it is very sad that some people believe that youth and beauty are the only things that matters in life, because these kinds of beliefs have a huge influence and they can sometimes lead us to horrible cases, such as Dorian Gray situation, which is influenced by third parties, and they also help to create a superficial society, a fact that is very harmful to all types of people.

TED TALKS: Looks aren't everything

This Ted Talks is lead by Cameron Russell, which has been a model for almost 10 years. She starts saying that she thinks the appearance and image of a person is very powerful but above all, superficial and that, sadly, the exterior of a persona has a huge importance in life and it become more important than the inside.
She says the only reason she's a model is because she won at genetic lottery and she is a white and beautiful lady, which is called in the industry a sexy women.
She explains that in the last centuries beauty has been defined as a tall and slender figure with white skin, a fact that she has harnessed to "cash out on".
She explains that a study that was made in 2007 on a fashon show, showed that of 677 models that were present to parade, only 27 weren't white.
In her opinion, wanting to be a model is not healty and it shouldn't be considered as a carrer path. She also explains that almost all of the photographies are retouched and that they don't show reality, they are just construccions elaborated by professionals.
She goes on explaining a particular fact of being a model, the privileges she gets in her day to day, just for her beauty and for how she looks, and not for who she really is.
Finally, she ends by saying that although she is a model, she's very insecure, and that is had been very difficult to her to unpack a legacy of gender and racial opression as she's one of the biggest beneficiaries.
