President Mariano Rajoy,

Complejo de la Moncloa

Avda. Puerta de Hierro s/n

28071 Madrid

Dear Mr. Mariano Rajoy,

I am writing to complain about the violation of one of the human rigths; education.

Principally for the compaign of "educacion world".

First of all, the problems with education. When you go to school, you see the children and sometimes many of these childrens can pay that education; and this is a little unfair because people who do not have money cannot have education.

Are very important know it is everybody is a human and we do not need to have preferences in some person, but this is not always true.

Finally, I am writing this letter for you because all of us are humans and all people have the right for education.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Brawn.

MY VISIT TO LONDON

The 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th of April of this year, I and my friends travel to London with our high school.

In this post, I will explain really, what happened in London, jajaja.

London was an incredible holiday, but we walked a lot and we are not accostumed to walking so much. Really... the food was not very delicious, but in Candem Market... OMG! the food was delicious and incredible.

On the other hand, I think we needed more days to have a really incredible travel, because you cannot see all of London in three or four days. There is too much to see and experience

Well, finally, I think it was a good experience and a good travel, because maybe it is the last  travel all of us together. 

In conclusion,  I enjoyed the experience.

NOMOPHOBIA - INFORMAL LETTER

14 London

Girona, 19456

18th April 2017

Dear Xenia;

Thanks for Reading this letter, I think I should start by explaining a problem that a girl had the other day. You will see. This girl was not only addicted to the mobile phone, but in technology in general. What happens is that one day she was very calm in her house, suddenly strangers knocked at the door, entered and killed her. Did you know?

What do I mean by this? Well, it's difficult, but you should know that girl was your neighbour. With this I want to explain to you that you should not be so many hours connected to the mobile phone. Why? Well because apart from being an inanimate object, you can suffer certain problems by spending too many hours in front of a screen. When you are with someone, you cannot even talk because you spend hours and minutes looking at the screen. And you don´t even know what had happened to your neighbour!

Apart from this terrible news, I am writing to ask you to meet me this weekend! How about it? I will not take no for an answer!

See you, kisses

Lorena.

MY PLANS FOR THE SUMMER

This year I am eighteen years old, and this year I want to work to have money for my treats.

Initially I want to work in Mercadona in Empuriabrava, but this is not definate because the final desicion is only for the boss.

On the other hand, I think that this summer I will do the same as last year; with my friends, beach, sun, family and adventures.

Well, above all if I go to worf in Mercadona or not, I will have a job.

And one of the most important plans for this summer is to make a lot of exercice and improve my breathing respiration.

THE END OF AN ERA

If I pass all my exams , soon I will finish my school education. After a lot of years, my time at school will be finished. This makes me feel happy but also sad. For so many years I have been in school in Castello de Empuries. First I was in the guardaria. Here school was fun. We did a lot of fun activities and this is where I made my first friends.Some of these friends are still my friends now.

After Guardaria I went into Primaria at Ruiz Amado Primary School. The first years here were fun too. We had to learn more and we had our first homeworks. One funny thing is that I was excited to get homework! It made me feel like I was older. Possibly the homework was to read one page or to copy 2 lines of writing, but it made me feel important. Now- I hate homework! The 5th and 6th years in Ruiz Amado were more difficult, but still a lot of fun activities like Playback, Carnival, Colonies, Sant Jordi ........

I still remember my first day ay The Institute. I was very nervous and everything was so big! The school, the classes, so many people! The first days were exciting but I was also scared. Soon I got acostumbre to the life in Institute but every year it was more difficult with more homework, more exams and more studying.

Everyone told me BTX will be difficult and.......yes it is. This last year of BTX I have been very stressed with exams and TDR. I still have a lot of exams to do and I am nervous. If I fail one exam, I will have to repeat second of BTX . I don´t want to do this. Now I want to finish and start the next era in my life at University. 

So, I hope I pass my last school exams.

VILLAGE LIFE OR CITY LIFE

All my life I have lived in a village- Castello de Empuries. If I pass my exams, in September I will go to study in a city. Life there will be different in a lot of ways. Some good and some bad.On one hand life in a village is good. My friends and family are near me. I know where everything is. 

School is near my house and I feel safe . I do not think about bad people attacking me or entering my house. There is not a lot of traffic and life is calm. On the other hand, now I feel village life is boring. In this village there are not many activities for persons my age. 

To do anything exciting we have to go to Empuriabrava. Now this is not so difficult because I can drive but before I had to ask parents or friends to take me and bring me home. 
In conclusion, I think I want to try life in a city.

On one side City life will make me nervous. 
I will not know my way. I will have to make new friends and adjust to more traffic, more travel and to be more independent.Normally my parents do a lot for me- shopping, cooking, washing and supporting me. In the city I will have to organise everything. However, in the city there will be more places to visit, more activities.....I think life there will be more exciting.

Once I have been there some time, I will like city life but I will like to come back to my village sometimes.  

NEW 3 - POVERTY DAMAGING HEALTH FOUR MILLION CHILDREN

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4494016/Poverty-damaging-health-four-million-children.html

This news tells us that in The United Kingdom 3 out of 10 children are living in poverty and have malnutrition. The parents have not got money for food or important objects like toothbrush and toothpaste. The parents put water in milk so they have more. The parents sometimes do not eat, so that the children can eat. Information for this news is from hospitals and paediatricians. The doctors also said a lot of children have health problems because of poor houses that are not warm. Some families do not have a house! The children with this life also suffer from anxiety, stress and depression.

The government has cut money to help these people so the numbers are rising.

OPINION

When I see this news I was shocked. People think poverty and malnutrition are only in third world countries like Africa but it is not true. It is incredible that the numbers are so high. I think the government need to help these people, especially the children

NEW 2 - RIHANNA'S KNOT LOOK MAKE BALD EXPERT WARNS

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4472914/Rihanna-s-knot-look-make-BALD-expert-warns.html

This news explains that to follow the new hair fashion of a “top knot” or bun is actually dangerous to your hair. The new fashion is very popular with celebrities like Rhianna and Kate Hudson. Doctors report that to pull your hair so much can mean you lose your hair or get alopecia. 

The fashion is also popular with men but they can also suffer losing their hair. Reality T.V star Callum Best told that he has had 3 hair transplants because in his 20´s he wore his hair in a ponytail. Experts say that the only treatment for alopecia is hair transplants. The doctors say it is better for people to use wigs or hair extensions.

OPINION

I like this new fashion but I did not know it will damage your hair. I also did not know that the damage is permanent. Often fashion can make problems for you in the future- wearing bad fitting shoes, too much make up, dieting to be thin, wearing clothes that are very tight. Fashion is good to look at but not if it can have a bad effect on your health.

NEW 1 - BULLYING LEADS VICTIMS BINGE DRINKING DRUG ABUSE

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4488254/Bullying-leads-victims-binge-drinking-drug-abuse.html

This news explains the problems in life for children who have been bullied. If the children are bullied when they are 10 years old, it is possible that when they are 15 they will be drinking alcohol and taking drugs. The studies in America showed that children who were bullied and later start to take drugs have more problems in life. The drugs stop the brain developing and so they will not do well in school. The study also showed that males who suffer from bullying will be more aggressive when they are older.People who have been bullied can also have problems with anxiety and drepression later in life.The research also showed that the people who bully are also effected when they are older. They will suffer from anxiety and depression.

The study in America used infromation from years 2004-2011 and 4,297 students were in the study. The research looked at their life from 10 years old to 16 years old.

OPINION

This news was interesting to me because bullying is a problem in a lot of schools. Sometimes it is not serious or violent but this research shows that bullying can have a very terrible consequences for children and the future. I was surprised to read that the people who are the bully also have problems when they are older.

PASSING MY DRIVING TEST

The 28th of April this year I passed my driving test! I can drive! But I don't know my mark until the 4th of April. 

Really, I have been driving since before my driving licence but now I driving with my precious licence, and with the L plates.

This exam, normally lasts 20 minutes, but the examiner he made me do 35 minutes and I had the most difficult driving test, because he made me do all of the stops and narrow streets of Girona. 

And... when I finished my driving exam, the examiner suggested that I have one mistake (only one) but he said: "this was a very bad mistake".

Finally, when on the 4th of April the driving school took me get the mark, my mistake only was a little mistake!!

Well, I passed and now I can drive!!

RELATIONSHIP

DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT?

Love at first sight is not usually common in the society we live in today, however, many years ago we could say that it was more habitual, everything and that what happened before were forced marriages or similar.

In our opinion, love at first sight is something that, although you are very attracted to a person, you have a different and strange feeling.

This kind of love is not taken seriously, since it is usually thought to be false, can someone really fall in love so quick? Many relationships break because of jealousy. A person gets jealous when he/she is afraid of losing that person he/she wants, but that fear is from insecurity and not trusting someone. In my opinion, a relationship is based on the trust and confidence between the two people. You cannot have this trust and confidence when you meet someone for the first time!

Something else to consider is fidelity in the relationship, because when this fidelity disappears, jealous appears and then trust and confidence is destroyed... When one of the pair, deceives the other part of the couple, everything goes wrong. Finally, you think about forgiving that person you want and think they will behave as you want, but will there ever be trust again.

For all these reasons, we think that a relationship is based on sincerity, trust and fidelity, because if one of these three fails, it is very likely that there will be arguments, tears, or even a break the relationship.

Finally, with the question of "Can love last forever?” Who knows, it all depends on the ability we have to endure the small details of the other person and if we really trust them.

  

COMMENT ABOUT ONE NEWS

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/in-the-name-love/201311/is-love-first-sight-possible

There are many reports on love at first sight. It is something that happens quickly and instantly, without expecting it. It is a loving, tender and wild feeling. So love at first sight is not easy to explain. Some people even deny it and say it is simply sexual attraction.

Arguments against love at first sight

There are two main reasons to go against love at first sight; the first is because as the person does not know the characteristics of the other person to fall in love, his answer is imaginary and not a real emotion. The second reason is because not having time to perform the typical activities of love, that fact is not possible.

For these reasons, the most attractive people would be the most likely to be the object of love at first sight, gives a value granted to appearances.

Also, referring to the two reasons, love at first sight is not only feeling, but also performing activities, which cannot be exercised at first sight.

Research indicates that romantic love is often based on idealization and positive illusions, and this is also true of the love that lasts for many years. So love at first sight involves beliefs and preparation for actions.

Romantic Intensity and Romantic Depth

The distinction between depth and romantic intensity is crucial to understanding love.

Romantic intensity expresses an instant image of a romantic experience at any given time.

In romantic depth the temporal dimension of love is added, it implies shared activities, which satisfy the essential needs that are constitutive of long-term blossoming of the couple.

The main added value in the inclusion of the time dimension concerns the question of activities.

Love at first sight is essentially intense love. It makes the other person's attraction make you want the rest of the time next to her. It can be the basis for deep love, in the long run, as long as the characteristics typically revealed in verbal communication will later improve. So love at first sight can be the basis of deep love, but it is not.

Love in the first contact.

In a first contact there is a great impact, which can be positive or negative. The characteristics of each are shown, so it depends on those characteristics, the relationship will continue or may decrease as time passes.

Is love at first sight a good indicator for the future?

Love at first sight is a matter of the heart, and as Steve Jobs said, "you will know when to find it."

Research has shown that love at first sight has a significant influence over the long term, therefore, have a positive impact on the relationship. In this sense, if love at first sight becomes a long-term relationship, this relationship has a higher probability of achieving better quality.

Concluding remarks

Love at first sight is nothing more than sexual attraction. It is an intense form of romantic love that has a good chance of becoming intense deep love, as long as they have similar characteristics.

MY BIRTHDAY

My birthday was on March 2nd. This year I am already 18 years old and soon I will also have the my driving liscence (I hope it is March 28 hahaha).

On Thursday March 2 I did nothing special, but in high school, my friends brought me a cake, I was very happy!

Then on the 3rd of March we went to a restaurant to celebrate my birthday, specifically in the "Orange Kiwi" of Empuriabrava. That day I liked it a lot, because I got angry with a friend becuse he told me that he would not come by making an excuse and then he appeared.

I looked silly but I started to cry, and later, after dinner, they brought me many surprise gifts that I did not expect.

I have the best friends! And I hope to have them many more years! If you read this, I LOVE YOU!

Finally, to finish celebrating my birthday we went to carnival, where we had a good time.

Ps: That day, at the end of the carnival, it started to rain but it was great anyway.

CARNIVAL

The 24th,25^th and 26^th of February and the 3rd,4^th and 5th of March was carnival of Roses and Castelló. This year, together with my whole group of friends decided to make a float and this year we chose to go as giraffes.

The carnival was great, especially the Roses cvarnival. But the carnival of Castelló was complicated- one teenager dressed in the same costume as another group and tried to sneak in to the group. This group threw him out. Because of this, it caused everyone to want a fight.

What surprised us is that we went to complain to the police to act and instead we were told that we must do it ourselves.

Finally we ended up well at the carnival although those weekend were very tiring and I returned home very late.

I hope that next year will be even better than it has been this year, and that we could return to all go on the same float, with the same fun.

THE HUNGER GAMES

The second book of the trilogy about "The Hunger Games" is called "In flames" and I will explain what happens after the games og the first book.

The principal characters are Katnis and Peeta; the winners of the seventeenth games.

After this, Katinis think in the games and she rebels against the system because she disagree with these games. Principally because she had to kill different people to survive and after she sees the family of the rivals she killed. 

That provokes she doesn't want to kill the people of the different districts and this starts a rebellion in the districts.

I enjoyed this book because it talks about the morality of people and explans that not all is solved with violence.

Eating a Mediterranean diet 'cuts deadly breast cancer risk by 40%' in post-menopausal women

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4284738/Mediterranean-diet-cuts-breast-cancer-risk-40.html

This news talk about how easting a mediterranean diet can help stop a type of breast cancer in older women.The breast cancer , oestrogen receptor negative breast cancer kills a lot of women who are post menopause. The mediterranean diet reduces risk of this cancer. The study for this diet was made for 20 years. Women should not eat a lot of sugar, white bread, refined fats. They should eat a lot of vegetables, fish and use olive oil.

I like this news because it shows again that the mediterranean diet is the good diet for people. I think that this days people eat a bad diet and we need to listen to experts when they tell us what to eat and what we should not eat.

You want chips with that? Meet Flippy, the burger making robot that cooks the perfect patty every time

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4291376/Meet-Flippy-robot-cooks-perfect-burger.html

This news explains how a new machine for flipping burgers will be used from 2018. The robot will make the job of turning burgers and make them perfect burger every time. The news tells that the job of flipping burgers is a difficult job to find persons to do – no one likes this job. Flippy is designed to work with people, not to take a job from a person.

I think this article is interesting because another time machines are doing the work of persons. The inventors say Flippy is designed to work with people but I think in the future the machines will make all the work and there will be more unemployment.

Meet Sedric: Volkswagen reveals its driverless pod concept that acts as your personal robot chauffeur

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4287010/VW-unveil-self-driving-car-post-dieselgate-shift.html

This article explain about Sedric the new car from VW that is a robot car. This car do not need a driver. With your voice you control the car but tou do that from a computer. You tell the car where to go. It can have 4 persons in the car but not one person must drive. The car can find parking, collect people and all with computer or telephone app. VW think the car will be prepared in 2025.

In my opinion I think technology is fantastic but at the same moment I think we should not be so much for technology. We can learn to drive so why do we have a computer to do this. It make me scared because possible on day humans do not need to be. One day possible all is machines.

Why mobile phones should be banned from the bedroom: They keep you awake at night, even when they're switched off

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4287894/Why-mobile-phones-banned-bedroom.html

This article explains that because of mobile phones and computers children do not sleep good and they are getting more fat. We know the phones and computers must be off before we sleep because the blue light from these prevents sleep but the problem is more. Children use their mobiles and computers until the minute they go to sleep- this is not good. The number of children who do not sleep good has increased in the last years. Not to have a good sleep makes hormones different and make the children eat more, so they are tired and overweight.

In my opinion I am a modern technology person. I have a mobile and a computer and I use them all the time. I was surprised to read that it makes such problems!

Overweight student whose childhood crush told her she was 'too fat' has the last laugh after she loses 140lbs - and then turns HIM down for a date

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4289210/Woman-slims-refuses-date-boy-teased-her.html

This news explains about a girl who lost a lot of weight after the boy she liked tell her friends- sheis too fat. Rachael was a student in a American high school and she likes a boy a lot. He told her friends she was so fat he would not date her. Rachael decided to diet and go to the gym. She lose a lot of weight and looks fabulous! The boy she likes asked her for a date and she said NO!

I like this news because Rachael win. She lose the kgs and she have revenge on the boy she like.Also this story is sad- people think more important is the look and not the person. I don t like this manner of thinking, but this is the world we live in.

DIALOGUE

SCENARIO: TWO GIRLS AFTER WATCHING A MOVIE IN THE CINEMA

CHARACTERS: LORENA AND PAULA

LORENA: Wow! I was so shacked about the movie!

PAULA: Yeah I know right? How can they put botox on their body?

LORENA: I think that is not necessary wasting so much money in this kind of stuff to look beautiful.

PAULA: I agree, Instead of going through a bunch of expensive surgeries, you could start doing sport and eat more healthy.

LORENA: Think about the canons of beauty in previous centuries, they preferred a women with curves and a pale face and now people anre obsessed with being skinny and tanned.

PAULA: That's true! People also waste a lot of money in X-rays to become tanned and that, eventually, can be harmful for us.

LORENA: Well, In fact I think we look hotter being natural than with all this surgeries. We don't want to look like some reality star...

PAULA: Yeah, I know right? I also prefer being natural and decide what I want to wear and how do I want to look without being pressured by strangers who don't even know me at all. 

LORENA: You're right! Because all this adds and reality TV shows only show us some people who are too concerned about his body and this kind of things. We shouldn't follow what some stupid people say what's cool or not.

PAULA: The only thing that this causes is that we want to be like this people and waste money in silly things. 

LORENA: Yes, that's a big business!

PAULA: And also, this business release adds that make young people mainly to be insecure abolet themselves and that led them to want to change their appearance.

LORENA: I angree, I also think that It gives them phsychological issues and develope illness like anorexy and bulimia.

PAULA: Basically, nowadays they make business on everything, but playing with our healt... That's not good!

LORENA: I think the same.

PAULA: Well, It was nice talking about this and see that you have the same opinion. I'll call you, bye!

LORENA: OK! See you later.
