One advante is that you can make anonymous questions if you have an account. Moreover, other people can give you likes at your answers.

Cleverbot is one of my favourite websites. There you can talk with a robot, but it is a wierd conversation. Cleverbot talks in the same language as you talk to him. He can speak in all the languages in the world.

A lot of youtubers have made videos with Cleverbot, because one year ago it was very famous. Now, there are some websites similar to Cleverbot. The last one is SimSimi and it is better than Cleverbot, but SimSimi only speaks Spanish.

Anyway, Cleverbot has a good security system, because you don´t have to give any information about yourself.

I usually use Gmail. This is a website of instant messaging. It is a worldwide website.

With Gmail you can send and receive messages from people from all over the world. Texts, documents, images and videos can be shared.

The websites can be used for leisure functions, such as talking to friends or relatives who live far away or in other countries. It can also be used for work or school purposes.

I like this website. I recommend Gmail for all kinds of people.

One of my favourite websites is a social networking site called Instagram. I´ve used it since I was 13, and I have had my own account for about a year. I use this to share my photos with all my friends.

One advantage of Instagram is that you can know people from all over the world, it´s free to use and very easy. However, everyone can be creative with their photos and with the sentences and emojis you can put on them. Besides, you can share videos and gifs in Instagram too.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this kind of website.

If you don´t have a private account, all people can see your photos or videos and this social networking site has a message system called “direct”. In addition, one of my friends (a girl) was harassed by a45 year old man, but you can report and this is what she did.

Instagram has helped me to know people from all over the world and people near me too and I am pleased with this, because I have new friends thanks to this! Nevertheless, I think I am too addicted to my mobile phone.

My favourite website is Los 40 Principales . It’s a website about music and gossip. I use it to listen to the most popular songs and read gossip and news about music and cinema.

The advantages of Los 40 Principales are, for example, that you can watch the video clips of the songs. However, people can also vote for the best song. In addition, all the news and gossip are quite interesting, and they normally come with a photo.

The disadvantages of this page is that the videos and songs take a time to load, and if you have a bad internet connection, they don’t load. It hasn’t got more disadvantages because people can’t comment the articles and songs in the page, so there aren’t any problems.

Since I started to use this page 3 years ago, I have learnt the names of all the popular songs.

Martyna Niedzwiedz 4ºESO 1

One of my favourite websites is an online sports newspaper called Marca. I have used it since I was 13, I use this site to know what is new about my football team.

One advantage of Marca is that you can find out all the news about all sports. Moreover, it is free, so it is cheaper than buying the newspaper. Furthermore, you can follow all the football matches without watching them on TV. In addition, Marca helps me when I want to watch a football match, but I have to do something and I cannot watch it on TV. However, there are also some disadvantages with this website: you need an internet connection to use this online newspaper.

MARTA BERMĂšDEZ MONTES 4Âş ESO1

One of my favourite websites is a networking site called Facebook. I’ve used it since I was 10 years old, and I have had my own account for about two years ago. I use this site to see news about my friends.

One advantage of Facebook is that it is free to download on my mobile phone, and I can see the news of my friends without them knowing that I’m watching them. In addition, you can put I like to the photos if you like them or if you don’t like them, you can put I don’t like. Futhermore, Facebook has a chat to talk with my friends.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this kind of website. For example, people have had problems with security.

Furthermore, there are accounts that have a fake profile and some people pretend to be celebrities.

Facebook has helped me to find old friends, but sometimes I think I spend too much time on the mobile phone!

Periscope is a social networking site that was created in 2015 by Kayvon Beykpour and Joe Bernsein. Its function is to communicate people anywhere in the world. In this networking site you have to create an account, what can be done through Gmail or Twitter. You can find your friends or people you do not know.

This application is for recording yourself so that people can see it in direct or for the next 24 hours. During the recording people can talk to you in a chat that everybody can see and give you hearts if they like what they are watching. Every time someone is recording, you get a notifications in your mobile phone so that you do not miss it.

This application has become famous thanks to Piqué, a defender of “F.C.Barcelona”, as he frequently uses it and it is entertaining, so many celebrities have began to use it, because it is a good way to get closer to their fans.

In my opinión, it is very good, it is interesting and the rest of the people like it very much.

LUCÍA COLLADO

One of my favourite websites is the social networking site Snapchat. I’ve used it since I was 12 years old and I have had my own account. I use this to see now what my friends are living, with a photo or a video.

One advantage of Snapchat is that you can take a photo at the moment. Moreover, you can see what the others are doing.

Furthermore, this application has got a lot of effects. In addition, Snapchat is free and you can download it from the play store.

However, there are also some disadvantages, for example, some people can take a snapshot of the photos that you upload without your permission.

RAQUEL MORENO

This website is one of my favourite ones.

I have used this website since my mother started to use this with my sister in 2008. Later, when I was ten years old I made a sign-up and I began to talk with my friends.

The advantages are that when you cannot see your friends, you can have a videoconference and talk. Furthermore, when you are abroad you can talk with your parents. Moreover, it is easy and quick to use.

The disadvantages are that if you are younger than 18 you cannot use this website. In addition, you can have contacts when you don´t expect them. You can also get viruses and sometimes there are connectivity problems too.

Three years after getting my account, I don´t use this anymore, as I have begun to use whatsapp.

CAROLINA MANZANO

One of my favourite websites is Spotify. It is a website where you can listen to music online. I have used it for almost a year.

Many artists upload their music there. You can make playlists with different songs or follow others that people create. Spotify has also a section where the web itself has playlists for different occasions or classified by genres.

The best advantage of Spotify is that there is a lot of music which is very recently released. Another one is that Spotify is free if you have an Internet connection. In addition, it is very easy to use because you just have to write the name of the artist or the title of the album or the song. It’s super easy.

However, there is a huge disadvantage: you have to pay if you want to listen to music without being connected to the Internet, otherwise you won't listen to the music.

Spotify has helped me discover a lot of music that I now love. With Spotify I have discovered some of my favourite artists.

MARĂ?A TAPIA

The website Twitter is a social networking site. I have not a twitter account, but I know people that have it, for example my sister. She has used it since she was 12. She uses this site to communicate with all her friends.

One advantage of Twitter is that it is very easy to use.

Moreover, it is free. In addition, you can express how you feel at any moment.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this website. In the tweets you can only write 140 characters and sometimes this is a problem. Moreover, there are a lot of spammers in this website and this is annoying.

Twitter has helped me to be entertained in my worst moments; however, I think we spend too much time on this kind of websites.

ELENA MUĂ‘OZ

My favourite website is a social networking site called tuenti. I have used it since I was 8. I use this site to communicate with all my friends.

One advantage of Tuenti is that you can talk to all your friends at the same time.

Moreover, it is free to use in all electronic devices with an internet connection.

In addition, this site is very easy to use and everyone can be creative.

Furthermore, I have uploaded a lot of pictures or videos on my account.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this kind of websites: Some people have had problems with security. Furthermore, there are also a lot of fake profiles that pretend to be boys or girls and they begin to ask personal information about you. Besides, there are a lot of hackers that use your account and start to insult your friends.

Tuenti helps me to meet people from other countries, but sometimes I think I spend too much time online.

One of my favourite websites is a social networking site called Tumblr. I have used it since I was 14, and I have had my own page for a year. I use this site to see photographs.

I have used this for many things: some advantages are I can see and comment some photographs and I can send my photographs to my friends. In addition, you can see photographs of famous people or photographs of your friends.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this kind of website: some people have problems with security because the hackers can use your photos for many things.

In conclusion, Tumblr is very entertaining and it is free!

ROCÍO DEL MAR VÁZQUEZ PRIETO (4ºESO1)

I will speak about vine, it is a website where you can watch many videos that other persons make.

Vine has a lot of advantages: You can have a good and funny time. In addition, there are many people with talent that have not got much money and with this website they can earn money.Normally, these videos are very funny, these are not cartoons, they are videos of people. You can also upload videos that you make and people can watch your videos. Moreover, in this website there are many videos by celebrities and they earn much money. Furthermore,it is a helpful and funny website.

However, Vine has got disavantages: Many people think that they have talent or they are funny and they show their videos, but, in fact, people laugh at them. In addition, they can suffer cyberbulling.

CÉSAR RAMOS

One of my favourite websites is a website where users can upload and share videos. I have used it since I was seven. I use this site to watch or listen to videos. It has a variety of clips from movies, TV shows and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogs.

One advantage of Youtube is that you can easily find any video, only by typing the song or musician in the search you can find it. Moreover, you can also see new songs from famous artists as a premiere.

However, there are also some disadvantages with this website: when looking for a specific video you take a long time to find it because there are many.

XIOMARA LUNAREJO LUNA 4ยบESO1

One of my favourite websites is a free enciclopedia called Wikipedia. I have used it since I was 12, and I have used it in my house for about 3 years. I always use this website to learn new things and to look for information.

One advantage of Wikipedia is that you can learn about the different topics in almost all the languages in the world.

Moreover, it is free to use, so it is cheaper than buying printed encyclopedias. In addition, this website is very easy to use for everyone: you only have to type the topic that you want to find information on and the information will appear with texts and photos.

However, there are also some disvantages with this kind of website, like lack of veracity. In addition, there are erroneous details difficult to detect. I must say that Wikipedia is trying to arrange the failures and the improvements are obvious.

This encyclopedia has helped me very much to find out information for my projects.

Paola Baena Bravo 4ยบESO1

Yahoo Answers is a type of wiki, in which you ask something and other people answer you.

I like Yahoo Answers because you meet people. In addition, you learn things. Moreover,you help other people. Furthermore, you can pass a good time.

Anyway, Yahoo Answers has got lots of bad things, for example, although there are many people willing to help, there are many trolls, or other bad people who steal your user name and photo and impersonate you. Moreover, some people ask stupid things and others sometimes spam you.

In brief, I have to say that Yahoo Answers is a very good website.

Memedeportes is a website for people who love sports. It is about sports (especially football), but it is not a serious website, it is a website which you visit for a laugh and for watching the sports news. I have used it since 2012.

An advantage is it is not the same all the time, because the users upload vignettes frequently. Moreover, it is very funny, because there are many supporters and we discuss among us, but with respect and humour. In addition, you can meet people on the website. Furthermore, since not long ago, you can watch the football matches commented here, and this is really good, because you do not have to pay any money to watch the match.

One disadvantage is you can meet bad persons, so you must be careful with the information that you give, because someone can steal that information and kidnap you.

It is a definitely very good place to spend time if you like sports, especially football. It is my favourite website.
