Trip Diary - Roma

My trip to Italy was wonderful because I went with my whole family. The day I went to Spain was in December and decided to spend Christmas there. I would pass very well and would repeat the trip. My parents have Italian friends and so decided to vacation there because we were invited to his home to spend Christmas with them. The hard trip 9 hours because we drove when we got there the atmosphere was very different from here because people drive the car skipping signals, ie, are in a hurry. Italy is a very nice and pleasant place, I recommend this place to go for a holiday to all people who like to travel.

The first day, I visited with my parents a few important sites in Rome, including the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain. The son of friends of my parents was a very kind person and thanks to the whole place was known, decided to join the rest of the day to learn more about Rome. At the end of this day we went to eat at a nice restaurant, the food was delicious and the treatment of workers was very good. The only drawback was that it cost a lot of money per person but it did not matter, what mattered was fun.

The second day, I went to visit the Vatican where Pope of Rome was. I really liked that place because it was very nice and very large. There were many people visiting that place and the construction of the square is very well crafted and detailed. That day we all went to walk around Rome and know more about it. After that we went to visit the Arc de Triomphe because the first day we did not have much time to watch it closely. At the end of the day we went to eat at the restaurant of my parents' friends, it is a pizzeria. The pizzas they make are very good and miss because here in Spain do not do so well, pasta is also very good because I tried the pasta dish my brother asked for dinner.

The third day was the best because my brother, the son of friends of my parents (Simone) and I went to a club to bid farewell to such a wonderful holiday. That night we went to the best club was in Italy, we met many girls and many friends Simone. The Italians are very social people and I try to help as they can. These days he was there in Italy learned the basics of the language and would like to learn more about the language because it is a very beautiful language. The party hard all night and we had a great time. When I finish we went home and ate Simone everything we find in the fridge. The next day we remember little of the party but we were all good times. 

Finally, prepare packing to go to Spain, I did not want to leave Italy because I really liked that place. We had gone to great places with incredible views. Before we left we went to eat at a special restaurant and celebrate a farewell. The following year the Italians came to our house because they wanted to know Spain and its culture.

SUMMARY

This news published on September 18, 2013 at 5:24 talks about the mobile phone companies that say their products are safe but it is not true. The mobile phone signal affects our health and dangerous because electronic products emit radiation. Above all this signal it affects children because they are more sensitive to radiation. According to doctors this radiation causes cancer or infertility. Doctors say it is impossible to avoid radiation because they are anywhere, the advice they give is that you have to turn off all devices that emit such radiation when not in use.

OPINION

I agree with Dr. Naiman because right when he said that should stop using this radiation devices such as mobile phones. Humanity worse and that it ends up causing a global disease. Radiation are few microorganisms that are not going well for health. They should put safety measures and stop making such high radiation devices. But all countries are only interested in the money and why not stop making devices because if they stop making them lose a lot of money. Finally, I would say that people should stop using the mobile phone and focus on other more important issues, should also enjoy nature because being hooked to mobile is an addiction that causes serious illness.

Can the Internet make the world a better place?

Nowadays I use the Internet because it's a fantastic tool for work. I spend a lot of time on the Internet because I can take a lot of information. I have a cell phone and it's very practical because you can visit all the websites and chat with your friends. I have Internet connection in my home and in my mobile because the Internet connection is necessary to do all you want, for example: to search the information for your work, visit websites as Facebook... 

I have Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat because all my friends use these sites and is very interesting to see the pictures of other people.

Finally, I would say that the new technology is very important for the future because the people need to learn about it.

Why it's harder than ever for women not to obsess over their appearances

Every day there are more images of ideal beauty, ie images representing the perfect beauty. Many of the photos of celebrities are modified by a computer program to modify its actual appearance.

Commercial representations of women fashion became popular in the nineteenth century in the United States. In the 1860s the American middle class could afford to have his own portrait to look prettier every day, that is, the person ages but likes to look young in his portrait. The young woman has always been the most popular beauty image.

Finally, the film industry made the American woman was the ideal of beauty. Currently, on the Internet you can find many photos of celebrities, these photos can be retouched or can be very sensual. They want these women is to stand out from the others. Many women are airbrushed in photos to look younger and less damaged. The ideal body is sought is a body like a model.

The email

Dear teacher,

In this email I will explain my short and long term goals, my first goal this year is to pass second Batxillerat because it's my dream to be an engineer but what I'm sure is that I am going to be somebody important in this life because we only have one life and we must size. My possible challenge this year is to get good grades in Batxillerat and I hope to overcome them by working hard every day.

The only one who can help me in this track is myself and my family because my family is everything to me and are the only people I trust.

"I was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had."

This sentence for me is very significant because it brings back old memories of childhood but now in this life I learn that things are different and you have to be satisfied with what you have. Above everything you have to be happy and struggle for your dreams.

Best regards.

The other volunteer who was there had gone into the house to save the dog and Mark went into the house to get the shoes. She was very happy because they had saved his dog.

Mark is aware of his work and that volunteering not charge anything. For me the thought that Mark has is that he does not care what you win because he likes his job.

Is humor necessary?

Humor is necessary for life because laughter is good for your health. Laughter is an advantage to dissolve distressing emotions it helps you relax and recharge... Laughter creates a lot of opportunities to spend a good time.

First of all, the humor is necessary to connect with other persons. It's a fact that there are many points in favour and also to be more spontaneous, let go of defensiveness, release inhibitions, express your true feelings... It is necessary to bring humor into conversations because the other persons trust you.

Secondly, if you incorporate more humor and play into your daily interactions you can improve the quality of your love relationships, for example: family members and friends. Laughter is one of the most effective tools for keeping relationships and humor is a powerful and effective way to heal resentments, hurts...

In conclusion, I think that humor is the best tool for relationships with other people because you can express yourself.

Podcast: The joke

My self evaluation

In the oral presentation I used Power Point because it’s easy to use. Also because it’s more visible and layout of your slides is nice. Before starting work I saw a video related to popular programs in different countries and get enough information. I think I lacked a bit of time to improve the presentation because I made simple.

I have to improve several things:

  v  Look to the public.

  v  Least read my notes

  v  More fluent

  v  Improve my pronunciation

  v  Use appropriate vocabulary

  v  Explain more about each topic

I think that was good and orderly structure that organizes different programs depending on their location. The content would have to improve because I miss you put in each program, when it was started and some more information about its history (serie). The presentation was clear and the majority of the class understood what I said.

Use correct language but I have to add more new vocabulary and connectors. In my presentation are missing some examples. My difficulty is the pronunciation and fluency because I was nervous being the last person who had the job. I think I made a good presentation but must be improved to better note. Note that I would get is 7.

My research paper

My research paper is about how to create a company. In this paper I explained all the steps on how to create a company without problems. I learned a lot about this job, because when I grow up I'm going to open a business, that's my dream. Thanks to this work I have been told the drawbacks and advantage has opened a business. I also learned that I will have expenses and things that need it. My work lasted a year but I've put a lot of effort because it’s a subject that I like. The problems I have had to do this job is that I have changed three times of teacher.

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.

Summary: Gap Year

This article about the Gap Year talks about a boy who looks to the future for the summer but do not know what to do. The question is: Why do not you spend a summer working in the US?

The boy returned from Australia and wanted to go there next year, but his parents told him to go to a camp to work and he wondered: Why not? For him it was a new experience, was working there like an adventure because campers are very energetic. It also says there is a magnificent swimming pool and the weather is spectacular. Since he has returned every summer, the greatest benefit is the opportunity to travel and has a great opportunity because it has been in 50 different states. At the end of the text the guy tells us that advises the latter option because it is the best to take advantage and enjoy.

My clothes and me

I usually wear jeans, black shoes and sweatshirts because it is my style. I dislike shirts and suits because I only wear them in important occasions. I'm consider a fashion victim because I love brands and I like go shopping with my friends. I'm interested in fashion because the clothes it is important in my life. Above everything wear clothes comfortable because I'm feel light. Really wear clothes the brand not important for me because it is more important wear clothes comfortable in places for example: at school or at home. I'm not addicted to brands but I really like it. My best brand for me is Carhartt because it is a brand is high quality. 

What restrictions does the science of life?

The science of life includes all fields of science dealing with the study of living things such as plants, animals and humans.

First say that I am in favor of science because thanks to their discoveries this world can do much better. Thanks to science we have made progress on projects such as: help a disabled person to walk. There are many people who are against it because many animals are used for experiments. But science needs to experience but can not solve the problem. Currently, laboratory mice, a positive aspect in science are used because many of mice.

Secondly there are countries that use science to inadequate such experiments: the monkey experiments used to make parts. A year ago I read an article about science and thought spectacular because recounted draft a new legs to walk. There are many disabled people who have problems and need help but do not have enough money. In this article the company UNICEF helped those people so they could have those objects.

In conclusion I believe science has always been a big plus for our future and I think should be improved without putting impediments because thanks to it many people can live life normally.

Personality quiz animal

ESTP: Fox
                                                                               Source

Dramatic, charismatic, and influential — ESTPs seek the best in life and want to share it with their friends. They are active, spontaneous, fun, and foxy. They are the most adept of any of the personality types at influencing and manipulating people, and they make great salesman and can be wonderful friends if you’re looking for a good time. Read Aesop’s Fables for more information. 

OPINION:

In my opinion I am proud that I have touched a fox because I'm like that kind of person. In the description of the image makes it an active and fun person. It seems to me that I'm that kind of person. It also puts seeking the best in life and want to share with friends. I agree with this description because it details me as I am. My personality is fun and I always enjoy spending time with my friends. The good thing about being a fox is that it is a clever animal. The bad part is that it is a very manipulative animal because it can be very nice to one person but for something of interest. For example: something to eat. This animal is very nice but is found in few areas and are very little for the day. They tend to hunt at night because her nose and eyes are developed for this type of environment. In conclusion, this animal is one of my favorite because apart from being intelligent is very nice, especially the color.

GAP

SUMMARY:

In the world there are a lot of children working in bad conditions: they work a lot without reciving money and they suffer violence from Gap's workers. The brand said that they didn't know and they avoided this kind of activities. They have moved on to India, one of the potencies of child labour, where economy is depending on this. This envolves the low cost of the prices. Some celebrities have increased the fame of the brand.

But after all, Gap has been criticised these illegal contracts which they are involved forced works and physical punishment to the workers. Gap responsed to all these acusations saying that they won't allow this anymore. Athought India depends on children for their economy.
