Unbroken
Yesterday, my sister and I went to the cinema in order to watch the new film directed by Angelina Jolie. The film is based in a real story: it is about a boy of Italian origin but born in the United States. The story is around 1936. Louis Zamperini, was a boy who always get into trouble. Their parents and their brother managed to get him out of his vices and put him in the good way. Zamperini started to run in athleticism and in 1936 he participated in the Olympic games. Later, he joined to the Air Forces to the USA in the World War II (1939-1945). One of the times, their plane crashed and fell into the Pacific Ocean; just three of them survived, Louie between them. They suffer a shipwreck of 46 days. The day 47 they were captured by Japanese, the enemy of USA. From that moment, the life of Louie is a ongoing suffering that doesn't end. He and the others captured suffer constantly the knocking of the Japanese and they were far away from their family. They don't have nothing to do to run away from that hell: just waiting. He had the oportunity to be for the Japanese, exchange not to be maltreated. However, he was loyal and faithful to his country and went on fighting until the end of the war. All men suffer endless tortures. Finally, they were rescued when the war was finished in 1945.

2015
We say goodbye to one year more. The time goes fast and we don't realize every year is shorter. This year has been like any another both good and bad. 2014 has been full of good times, laughs, cries, truths and lies, ups and downs; friends who go and friends who come; births and deaths, crushes and heartbreaks; a year full of changes and failures that we have overcome. However, there isn't a single stone that doesn't help you in your journey. Thus, people start the year with illusion and with the hope that this year will be better than the rest.

Current and past education
From the beginning, people have received an education and have learned basic skills such as learn how to write or how to read. In the recent past, people used to go to school, later many of them went to secondary school and then, just a few ones received a higher education. In spite of that it was easily to find employment in whatever they wanted to work.
On the contrary, nowadays people have a more sound knowledge because of the plenty advantages we have: more public schools, all type of technologies and gadgets and libraries everywhere where we can find the range of subjects and some researches. Besides, we are able to get some aid from the government.
On the other hand, before there were more hard-working people than today. They had to study on their own to get a degree or a title. Even many people wanted to study but their parents couldn't afford it because they didn't have any money or they denied their children going to school. Thus, they could help their parents in their offices.
As for current education, despite having a lot of aids, pupils don't often attend lectures and it is difficult for them to acquire a qualification. Today, it is considered easily to pass an exam than forty years ago. Also, teachers know more than ever and many of them don't know how to teach their students. Hence, this is one of the reasons why teenagers don't listen to the teachers, since sometimes they can become tedious.
For instance, people who studied sixty years ago got a religious and sexist education. Most women were allowed to study until they were 15 years old. They were educated as a housewife: they were taught to sew, to wash, to bring up their children and to cook. At school they received a basic education and, above all, they learned to pray.
Some of the differences between current and past education are: before people only learned the theory but not the practice. Also, teachers use books or notes. However, today's teachers almost always use a projector and make lessons more pleasant and student can show interest in them; Homework was very conmplicated and students can be hit by the teacher. Nowadays, pupils are always laughing at the teacher. Before, teachers had more rights than students and today students are over the teachers. It seems to be that students nowadays want to get the maximum marks without making a effort.
In brief, I couldn't say that current education is better than past education because every stage of life is different than the others. Nonetheless, it doesn't mean being better or worse. I find past education better in the aspect that people were more responsible even though teachers were harder. Current education could be better due to the advances and developments we have. Therefore, everything is constantly changing in life, even the education.
