WRITING TASK
Draft 1
Schools and universities are completely different. Even is significantly
more different if one of them is private and the other one is public. When I was at
school, part of elementary and the completed high school, I was in a private one. It
was the most expensive private school in the city. Once I finished my studies at the
school I prepared to get into a public university.  
I could not find many similarities between them but I could notice that both
have a dress code. In my private school I had to wear uniforms. At the university
we could dress anything we wanted but we were not allowed to wear shorts.
Another similarity is that in both there are extracurricular activities for students. For
example, in my private school there are activities such as theater, chess,
swimming and some sports. Likewise, in my public university there are many
student groups like troubadours who play instruments and act, and political student
groups.
There are a lot of differences between my private school and the public
university. One of them is that in the private school my parents paid a certain
amount of money every month. On the other hand, in my public university
students pay every six month and according to their grades. Another difference is
that teachers in my school always were well prepared and did all their classes. In
contrast, in the university some teachers did not even appear in a whole
semester. I liked my private school; however, I did not like the close infrastructure.
We did not have green areas. On the other hand, I really like the Infrastructure of
my public university because it is big and it has a small square.
To conclude, I want to emphasize that both have big differences.
Nonetheless this allows us to generate our own opinions and reflections to
enhance these differences in a future.

year there are new and better Smart TVs. Technology has been making our

first designs. Because there are a variety of channels to choose from, most
of them can give you fake news or bad content. Due to its aesthetic design,
it is extremely fragile. Nevertheless, it has Wi-Fi connection, browsers and
other interesting functions to spend time. People use to eat while they are

digestion since your mind is focused on watching the TV. You can spend a
lot of time on a Smart TV with all those interesting activities to explore on it;
