LIVING LIFE TO THE FULL

1. Do you like doing or learning new things or travelling to new places? Why? Why not?
I love to do and learn new things. I think it's wonderful to discover the world, learning about other cultures, other viewpoints... It's very rewarding.

2. To what extent does living your life to the full mean not being afraid to try new things?
In my opinion, everything has a limit, and live to the full doesn't mean try everything in life. I believe that some things are better not try because we all know that they aren't good, or are not correct. You can live to the full provided that you don't  forget your values. Otherwise, you're lost.

3. What do you think of the idea of not watching TV, videos, etc. for a month and limiting your use of your phone and the internet to a maximum of an hour a day?
Really, I don't care. I don't like television and could pass without seeing all year round. However, it would cost me more than the limit of internet, as I need to surf the net for work and academics.

4. Describe four things you'd love to do.
First of all, I love nature and animals, walking through the woods, enjoying the peace and quiet, and get away from the city.  Secondly, I love to write about anything, helps me relax and makes me feel good. Thirdly, I love to travel, meet other place, other cultures, other lives ... And finally, I love sport, any sport, it's fun and very healthy.

GET ON / GET OFF

En el caso de medios de transporte, usamos GET ON y GET OFF, cuando hablamos de autobúses, trenes, aviones, tranvías, metro, etc.

Por ejemplo, decimos: You get on the bus (NUNCA "GET IN"). No nos metemos, sino que subimos al bus.

Lo mismo sucede con GET OFF: You get off the bus.

Existe una excepción a esta regla: ¡¡¡¡¡¡LOS COCHES!!!!! Si decimos "get on the car", quiere decir que nos subimos encima del coche... Para decir que nos metemos dentro del coche, usaremos GET IN o GET INTO (the car) 

LET HER GO - PASSENGER
