Question 5 En este ejercicio se propone una solución, pero no es la única posible

It seems like a dream to travel through space and be in places that no one has been before you. Be the first
student astronaut? Sounds good, but that's not for me.

First of all, I must say that, in order to go to space, you must meet a series of requirements that go through
training for a long time. Most of those trainings are very hard and, as a student, I imagine that they are not paid.
But the most important thing is that, personally, I am quite scared to imagine myself inside an astronaut suit and
traveling far from my home and family. For me it is an unnecessary "adventure" and one that I would not enjoy
at all.

In conclusion, I think it sounds more fun when you listen to it than when you take the step and decide to do it. It
is true that it is a unique and difficult experience to fulfill, but being honest with myself I would not do it.

Question 5 En este ejercicio se propone una solución, pero no es la única posible

I remember the day when, in my first year of high school, my Spanish teacher asked us to read the first Harry
Potter book: The Philosopher's Stone.

From the moment I started reading it, I realized that Time was passing faster than normal. Without realizing it, I
could spend hours reading and did not even stop for a snack. Being immersed in an imaginary world full of
wizards and witches, spells, characters that were my age and were students of a wonderful school, awakened all
my creativity and desire to see the movies that would later be released in the cinema. I even remember creating a
"friendship" with the characters, with whom I had created a very strong bond.

This book remains in a very special place in my memories because it was the first book that put a spell on me ... I
guess Harry had something to do with it, who knows?
