Story of the stuff

Over 50% of our federal tax goes to the military.
Is consumed 1/3 of the planet's natural resources.
In the United States there is only less than 4% of native forests.
40% of the waterways is no longer fit for consumption.
The United States has 5% of the planet but use 30% of the planet's resources and generate 30% of the world's waste.
They go to the third world and destroy the place to get your resources.
75% of world fish stocks are exploited to the limit of its capacity or overfished.
80% of native forests in the world has disappeared.
In the Amazon we're losing 2000 trees a minute.
Today they are used in commerce over 100,000 synthetic chemicals.
BFRs are extremely toxic (neurotoxic) toxic to the brain.
Babies given the highest dose of toxic chemicals from drinking breast milk.
200,000 people move daily from places that have sustained them for generations into cities (to seek employment, live in slums).
In the United States the industry recognizes that emits two billion kilograms of toxic chemicals a year.
30% of children in the Congo has left school to work in the coltan mines.

My Opinion

My opinion on this is that I do not agree with many things that makes the government of each country. If we really want to improve we must find solutions. For me destroy forests is a bad deed and that nature must be protected. We must also think about the people who have lived there generations and not have to take home for their own benefit. Not do I agree that children working in the mines and leave their schools. US should improve its economy and produce his first field acting differently. Toxic used to develop each object should be to ban us as we pollute. Fishery resources should descontrol as there is a 75% exploited. Justice would have to stop forest holdings because for every minute 2000 trees are cut. It should be restricted to go to the third world to exploit and profit removed. Breast milk is toxic mothers and babies receive the highest dose. What I think is unfair 50% of our taxes go to the government to stop the military. Many of us can not live on the minimum wage so the government should propose solutions to help people to live life more easily and work using toxic is more controlled and secure for people who have difficulties .


The best song for me

The best song for me is "see you again" because it is a song that expresses many feelings. This song is dedicated to a famous entertainer Paul Walker of film Fast and Furious. He died from a car accident and this song reminds his best. I hear this song and I like to relax by the significance. Paul Walker was a great person on the day of his death was making donations to poor children. A Wiz Khalifa made him very excited to sing that song. It's a song that reminds me that all good things must not forget and you never know what a person is worth until you lose it.



My favourite moment in 2015

My favorite moment this year was the day of my birthday because I would pass very well. Invite all my friends to eat barbecue at home and spend the day by the people. We went to dinner and when we finished we went for a walk. The moment you pass scariest was when a friend of mine hit the door of a house. He left the man to get around town. We had to separate. I went to a bar and hid there playing pool to cover. Later came all my friends and we went to bonrelax to finish the night. We went to the beach to watch the sun. Then in the morning we went to my house and play to playstation 3. For me it was an experience I will always remember because it was the day I ran over.

My favourite country

My favourite country is Canada because I've always wanted to travel there and learn the language. Canada is a very crowded place and the people are very nice. In Canada there are different ways of living in Spain. My brother also really like Canada so that next summer we'll travel. My parents disagree because there are many flight hours. But once we get there we have my aunt that she taught us everything. We plan to go in June to enjoy the good weather. My aunt is very happy for our decision. When I grow up I'll buy a house in Canada to end my life there. Canada is a dangerous place for criminals but for me there is no problem if you can live in peace.

My favourite animal

My favourite animal is a monkey because it is an animal that looks like us. The monkey is the smartest animals because they say we come from them. It's my favourite animal because I have always liked my father. When I was little I just wanted to go to the zoo to see the monkeys and feed them. Once I got really scared and angry because I did not want to feed a monkey. That monkey got angry and grabbed my hair very strong when I gave the banana I left very fast. It is the thing I do not like them because they get aggressive food. Next year my father wants to buy a monkey trying to have him home.


My best gift

When I was 12 my parents told me to travel with them to Australia. For me Australia is a very nice place because I love animals. We were all family and went to visit my grandmother. We were at home two weeks and we all had fun. We visited many places especially the exotic side. My father loves animals especially monkeys and my brother's horses. We decided to try to buy a monkey but could not. The monkeys are animals that can not buy and take them to your country because it is forbidden. When just spent 2 weeks we had problems with our bags because we could not take too many clothes. Finally my parents decided to stay a bit longer in Australia and we had to return to Spain.

Film Review: Trash

The film tells the story of three children from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. The three children working in the garbage every day. One day Raphael found a wallet and decide to share the money with his friend Gardo. Police search for the wallet and offers a reward but not accept. Raphael and Gardo will ask your friend the Rata. Rata tells them it's an important wallet and must find hidden. Finally they found the money and decided to distribute the money to the people who work in the garbage.



SelfEvaluation - People with disabilities

Norden and I made our presentation on the war. We use the prezi and put a video on the consequences of war. It helps a lot in the prezi explanations and images.

Our hard issue between 10 and 12 minutes. Try to look at all my colleagues but I got a little nervous. I feel safer watching one partner.

Help me a bit of paper because I could not know the dates or the minutes of wars. I move quite ahead of peers.

The organization of our work has been easy. I have not used markers because they do not fit well in our presentation. I have introduced new information to the public and in my opinion our grammar has been a little loose.

We gave many examples of wars and where they were and when they lasted.

Linkers use new vocabulary and sentences but the problem was that we failed a little in pronunciation.

Finally, he spoke very fast and that made follow that understood everything.

We are taking better care of our planet

Do you agree?
I think that the people don't look after the world because they throw trash in the street. After the animals eat trash. In this planet we have a big problem because all the people do the same.

I don't agree because the environment is very important in our lives. The people have to look for a solution to save the environment, like cleaning the streets everyday. The government should put measures so that people quit.

In conclusion in this planet we don't protect the environment. We have to more recycle and we shouldn't throw the trash. The government has the obligation to clean the streets or forests.

To whom it may concern,
I would like to apply for a job because I want to save money to go on a trip and I think I would be a good sports shop assistant because I really like football and sports. First of all, I think this job fits with my personality because I am interested in some sports and I think I am an easygoing person. I am a hard working, involved with my job and I speak English, Spanish and Catalan fluently. I also speak French and German.

I live in Sant Pere and I have the car licence so, I am able to come to Castelló d'Empúries easily and I don't wind if I have to do extra hours.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

Yours faithfully
