The Winner of the Third Debate Is...

Eleana Da Conceiçao (3rd ESO), proposed El Internado is more exciting than Fisica o Quimica.

Susana Garcia

I think that Fisica o Quimica is better than El internado because Fisica y Quimica shows you different situations boys and girls come across every day.

You can learn lots of things and this is great. You can also see the problems of our society.

I think you might like El Internado the first time you watch but after a while you get tired. It is always the same and you never discover relevant things. In Fisica o Quimica there always appear new things, problems, relationships, drugs and alcohol problems...

Fisica o Quimica is an educational programme but in a way that young people like it, and we also learn about life.

Eleana Da Conceiçao

I think that it’s true, El Internado is better than Fisica o Quimica, and my reasons are:

1. This TV series has a lot of audience, and Antena3 won a prize thanks to the big audience that El Internado has. And why does El Internado have a lot of audience? Because it is very exciting, full of intrigue and love stories. These factors make this TV series very attractive to the audience. This TV series won an Ondas Prize in 2007, 'Fotogramas de Plata' to the best TV actor (Luis Merlo) and best TV actress (Amparó Baró) and 'TP de Oro' in 2007 to the best national TV series.

2. People like intrigue, and this TV series has a lot of intrigue. This makes people want to discover the mysteries of El Internado.

3. The love stories make this TV series more exciting, interesting and entertaining.

4. The story is very entertaining, interesting and I have never seen such an intriguing and exciting plot in a TV series.

5. The actors won prizes because they are very good actors and they make El Internado story more realistic.

6. The realism comes from the fantastic sceneries, actors, clothes, etc.

7. El Internado is so interesting and it is such a hit that they are going to make an Italian version.

When I watch El Internado I like it very much for the former reasons. What do you think about this?

The Winner of the Second Debate Is...

Erik Agujari (3rd ESO), proposed The Premier League is better than the Spanish League.

Congratulations to Victor too for his argument.

Erik Agujari

The Premier league is the best. English people invented football. English football is the most exciting. They have a different way of playing football. Their football is very fast. Everyone likes this.

Supporters are very important in English football. They are the best supporters in the world. They always encourage their teams and sing their anthems.

All the players in the world want to be in the Premier League.The famous player Cristiano Ronaldo, considered by many the best player in the world, plays in the Premier League, in Manchester United, and a lot of famous players play in the Premier League and not in the LFP. And that's all, now you decide.

Victor Alvarez

Is the professional Spanish football league better than the Premier League?

Yes, of course! Oh my God! You doubted it? The Spanish league is the best in the world.

I will tell you the reasons:

• The Spanish Leauge is the most watched.
• It is the most powerful league economically speaking.
• It has high-quality teams, for example, Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Deportivo, Sevilla, Ponferradina...
• It is the most competitive league in the world, because all the teams have chances to win. That’s why the level between them is not very big. However in the Premier League there is a big difference between the three or four best teams and the others.
• I think that there is more respect for this sport in the Spanish League.
• Spanish football is faster, more dynamic, more offensive, more tactical...
• Spanish supporters and stadiums are better than the Premier ones.
• Everything is better organised.
• The best player in the world: Messi, plays in the Spanish league.
• The Spanish Leauge also has young players with a bright future. However in the Premier many people only want to do business and some players are more into advertising than into football.

Last week I was watching a football match: Manchester United – F.C.Barcelona. In this match F.C.Barcelona was better than Manchester. Barça lost, but I am proud of them, because they played and fought hard to win.

Another example is Getafe, a sensational new team in the Spanish League. They defeated big teams to get where they are now. This is the Spanish league spirit.

I could spend all day giving you reasons why I prefer the Liga to the Premier, but I'll just say that only the Spanish League provides you with real passion and emotion.

And... What do you think now?
