"Discussion essay: electric cars" by Jacinto González Miranda 4º A ESO

Electric cars are a discovery that has been under development up to the present for a long time. According to some recent researches, by using this type of transport the world will be saved from human’s pollution related to this area. Nevertheless, electric cars have both advantages and disadvantages which require consideration.

Nowadays people usually talk about the advantages of electric cars although it has many disadvantages too. First of all, you have to know that electric cars have a short range of autonomy. Many sources say the real autonomy of an electric car expires within 200 and 250 kilometres. Apart from this, the main disadvantage they have is that currently, there are not enough recharging stations and this means that we cannot make long trips using an electric car.

On the other hand, they have a lot of advantages that help to reduce the world´s pollution. For example, while driving them you are being eco-friendly, what means that you are helping the world and at the same time you are reducing your carbon footprint. Furthermore, electric cars have an efficiency of a 90% while a normal car powered by fuel has only a 30%. This means that the electric cars will need less energy than cars powered by fuel to make the same effort. As a result, we will be saving much energy while cutting down on pollution.

To conclude, I have to say that from my point of view, I reckon that the whole population of the world will be using electric cars in less than 10 years. Truth be told, I think that it would be one of the advances that will mark the history.

EARTHQUAKE
By Carmen García Martínez-Urrea

When Alejandro saw Sara something trembled inside him. They hadn’t seen each other for years, since the last argue. Both of them felt their love had disappeared and separated their ways. They had shared ten years of their lives and suddenly everything had finished.

She was as beautiful as he remembered even more. Her dark hair was tied in a bun and her brown eyes seemed brighter. Obviously, she was happy and he could recognize that smile: she was in love. Something hurt in his soul.

At first she didn’t see him. She was talking with everybody, showing her concern about the situation, but smiling with a sweetness which makes people felt fine. He still loved her. So when she looked at him and started to walk he felt like a teenager. “Oh, my God! Alejandro, I can’t believe it. I haven’t seen you since….” said Sara holding him in a tender hug. “It has been a long time”, Alejandro answered in a quiet voice because he didn’t want to show his feelings.

“Tell me everything about your life. Let’s take a coffee, where can we have a coffee over here? Sara used to speak without waiting an answer.

The following day they started to work together. The earthquake had destroyed the entire city and there wasn’t time to relax in the field hospital. After a long day they were sitting under the stars and talking about their new lives when they heard a baby crying. It wasn’t easy to find him. It was hidden under heavy stones that miraculously had shaped a shelter that had made the baby be alive.

While the insulation continued, they shared the care of the baby. There was too dead to harm and a baby was hope. It was impossible to translate him to the main hospital and he became a link between them. It was like having a time machine. They were young again. They were together again. Alejandro thought he had a second chance.

After two weeks of living in a dream, an ambulance arrived at the field hospital. There were some soldiers who were going to translate injured people. Alejandro was looking for Sara all the morning. He wanted to ask her to start again, to adopt the baby, to have more babies of their own…

Finally, there she was, beautiful, full of life, with a marvellous smile in her face, holding the baby while she was kissing one of the soldiers. “Alejandro, come here, I want to introduce my husband”, she was really in love.

The earth trembled strongly but there wasn’t any earthquake.
