A REPORT ABOUT A SURVEY

The survey was about the use of the computers in the school. In the class there’re twenty-six persons, I did the survey and in general they thought the computers are better to learn than books. Here are the results.

Most people think that changing books for computers in school will be good. The are convinced that they will learn more with the help of the computers, for them the technology is very important. Nearly all the group believe that they will be more intelligent if they use the computers in all the school subjects, while a small part of the group disagrees. Everybody thinks that teachers will like doing class only with computers, without any books. More than half think they can find everything they want. A lot of people think that, in the future, they will rarely take notes with the computers because the lessons will be kept in the Pc, so in the class they will listen to the teacher and the won’t be worried for the notes.

AN INTERNET FORUM

Hi! My name is Cristina Düthmann and I live in Banyoles, Catalonia. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it!
In my opinion I think that in Banyoles there aren't many spaces for teenagers or young people. As a result a lot of people go to other citiesi to go to the cinema, or a youth club... 
I think that the council should do something about it to solve that problem. I'm sure they must have some land to build a youth club or a local for teenagers.
