My" brief" sample:

When I was a child, I wanted to be a vet! Believe it or not, it's true. I was always surrounded by animals at my granny's house: ducks, chickens, rabbits and dogs.... and I used to play a lot with them. I liked football a lot too and I dreamed of playing in La U professional team.
When I applied to university I wasn't completely sure about what I wanted to study. I had thought of studying music or  Veterinary Medicine, but in the end I decided to study English, because I was good at languages and I always liked it too.

My drum kit

I bought my drum kit in 2012. I remember that I spent a long time looking for the right kit for me. There were lots of options and it was hard to make the final decision.

These days I can't play as much as I want because my drum set is at home and it's difficult to find the time to play with family and kids. But at least once a week, I sit behind the drums and practice for about an hour. I also play the drums when I rehearse with my band, once a week, but I use a different kit.

I love music and everything which is related to it. I have a big collection of cds and  I have an electric guitar too. But my drums are something special. For many years I was was looking for the right instrument for me and when I sat behind a drum set for the first time, I knew I had found it. I fell in love immediately.

I can not imagine myself without playing the drums. If I couldn't play, probably I would try another instrument, but it would be difficult to learn at this time of my life. Maybe I woud try singing too.
What aboot you guys?
Cheers

What is your opinion about cellular phones?


I think  (that) they are a good device because we can communicate with people easily.
On the other hand, a bad aspect is that they produce radiation which can 
provoke cancer and some other illnesses.
In my opinion, the use of cell phones should be regulated especially in public 
places such as schools, hospitals, etc..
But in general terms, These gadgets are a great technological  means of 
communication.

What is your opinion about women in the military?

I don't have any problems with women being part of the military forces. I think that each person is free to choose what they want to do with their lives. Maybe in my personal case, I wouldn't encourage my daughter to follow that kind of activity, but I wouldn't stop her either if she really thinks that is what she wants to do.
