Firstly, teens are now as dependent on the internet as they are on food. I mean, people have never been more and more addicted to this thing that allows us to learn, to communicate, to travel, to do business and to live in comfort for example. Secondly, nowadays it is completely impossible to live without internet. We use it for everything, and the most affected are definitely teenagers. I think it is because they are always surrounded by a lot of gadgets like ipods, mobile phones, laptops, TV, computers… However, internet also has a negative influence in our lives, it can help the thieves entering a system of a bank, for example, it allows people to blackmail easily, it can cause health problems etc. To sum up, too much time on the internet can be bad for teens, but it also has a lot of good effects. (Maria Leal – D teens – Trofa) Remembering Euro 2004 The Euro is one of the greatest sports competitions in the world and it happens every 4 years, placing the best European football teams against each other. In the year of 2004 this tournament took place in Portugal and it was the biggest sports competition that our country received so far. In total, ten new stadiums were built in cities all across the country just for this occasion such as the “Estadio da Luz” in Lisbon and the “Estadio do Dragão” in Porto. Against all expectations, Portugal’s team managed to get to the finals, and the whole country reunited in big public squares to watch the game and cheer for the team. Unfortunately, we lost the finals to Greece, although many thought it was an unfair result. In conclusion, the Euro 2004 was a really good opportunity to show the world that Portugal is capable of holding great events. Furthermore, our cities became known to many tourists who came to support their team, which made us a destinations loved world wide.
