Bullying

Bullying is something that has always existed in are school's.Its the use of force,threat,coercion to abuse,intimidate or agressively impose domination over others.The behaviour is normally repeated and habitual.Luckly I have never been bullyed,but I do know people that have been abused like that and when you see it you feel very sad.Lots of the school's in the UK have a lot of problems with this issue and don't really do anything abou it because it is very hard to find the bullys and most people don't say anything because they are scared that they might get bullyed to.Thats why I think that the school's should start antibullying networks to help people that are having problems to stand up to that nasty person that is making there life miserable.

Facebook and its ways

According to Carlota Trevisan,in the italian La Stampa magazine,Facebook sent her a message telling her to eliminate a photo where she was kissing a girl.Because it was a simple photo of a kiss Carlota refused to eliminate it and on that same night she saw that her Facebook profile had been eliminated.

Trevisan is a 28 year old mother that on the internacional day against homophobia and transphobia put this photo to suport the cause.

Facebook probably didn't want to elimante the photo and her profile for that intention but its true that there are a lot of stupid rules on Facebook and the creator Mark Zuckerberg is trying to fix it. For all of the criticism that they recived they didn't last one single day to  give Trevisan her profile back.

Catwalk fashion real or ridiculous?

When you watch catwalk shows most of the clothes you see are very dramatic and original,but do people really wear these clothes?I think that the stuff they show isn't intended to be purchased and worn by costumers.It just shows what designers will come up with on a sheet of paper trying to think of something that hasn't been on the catwalk already.I am sure that some people buy these clothes but you probably have to be famous or have a lot of money,because a lot of people can't afford them.Thats why in my opinion,catwalk fashion is absolutly ridiculous because half of the people in the world don't wear catwalk fashion and a lot of these clothes are so transparent that you should probably walk naked around the streets anyway because it would be just the same.

Ocho apellidos vascos

Its  a Spanish comedy film directed by Emilio Martinez-Lázaro. It premiered in Spain on March 14, 2014. The film is also known as Spanish Affair.Rafa (Dani Rovira) has never left his native Sevilla, Andalusia, until he meets a Basque woman named Amaia (Clara Lago), who resists his seduction techniques. Against his friends advice, he follows her to Euskadi after she stays the night in his house and forgets her purse. A series of misunderstandings force Rafa to impersonate a full-blooded Basque with eight surnames, and get more and more entangled in that character, to get his way.

My opinion:It was a very good film but not as good as I thought it would be,because I thought it would be funnier and I didn't really like that the film was so short,the running time was only 98 minuts.

My summer job

This year is the first year that I am going to work during the summer.Because there isn't a lot of work lately, my mum that works as an english teacher has ofered me to work in her summer casal every morning of the week from 10:00 to 1:00.At first I wasn't very happy because I think that summer is for relaxing and having a good time so you can have a break from school and work.But when my mum said I would be working with small children I liked the idea a bit more because I really like working with children and it will be a great oportunity for me because I might want to be a teacher when I am older.I hope it will be a good summer for me and that I will have lots of new experiences and meet a lot of new people.

Is it correct to use animals for science?

Bilions and bilions of animals are used every year for the purposes of scientific experimentation.To my mind its the right to use some animals like rats because that way science advances with medicines and a lot of stuff that helps us.But there are other animals like gorillas and other apes that are used in different experiments and in my opinion that is very wrong.Because they are closely related to us and I feel like that is like killing a human being.

Many people say,just like Peter Singer the philosopher,that animals non human but that are aware of themselves,rational and that know the differents between the past,the present and the future,the basic abilities that a person has,can make them be called a person.

To sum up I am not totally against the use of animals in scientific purposes,but I would select very carefully the animals to be used as objects

Solutions

Our world is precious to us and we must become more aware of it.Many of our everyday actions are changing the planet permanently.Some solutions I would give to save the world before it has a tragic end would be:

1-Recycle as much as you can,to make the world a cleaner place.
2-Don't buy products with a lot of packaging,it costs more.
3-Don't leave the lights on in the house,it consums energy and money.
4-Buy fewer but better things,its quality and not quantity.
5-Use less,you will be able to save more money and possible contamination.
6-Save water,because one of these days we might not have any.

I'm sure that most of these solutions,are easy to follow and I think everybody should respect them and help save the world.

Blogging

My opinion about blogging is that its a very modern way to comunicate with the world.Personally,I dont like writing blogs because I find it a bit boring and I never have any good ideas.I think that its a very original way to learn and you probably learn much more and faster.I would probably make blogging more exiting thought because sometimes the posts we make are a bit boring and I think that we should only write what we want to express our selves how we want.Personally,I would use blogs in all of the classes and subjects because I think that it's probably one of the best ways to learn these days.The conclusion is that I like the blogging methode for learning but it should be more exiting.

Venice

After preparing my presentation about Italy and seeing that its so beautiful I have decided that I want to go to Venice.I want to go to Venice because I find it amazing that most poeple that live there don't use cars as transport,they use gondolas.They use gondolas because Venice is full of canals and most peoples houses are located on these canals.I first would like to learn a littel bit of Italian to be able to get to know some people and to be able to comuicate with people and learn more about the Italina culture and Venice.I am hoping to go this summer in August with one of my friends.I have never been on a journey without my mum so I bet that I am going to be very nervous and clumsy on the trip,but I am defenetley very looking forward to go!

Man kills his son to play video games

A young man called Chung from south Corea.Killed his 2 year old son to be able to have more time to play video games.The 22 year old man left the child all alone for 10 days while he was at a cyber café playing games.The detained has confesed that he covered the mouth and the nose of the boy with his hand so he could keep on playing games.

The family of the murdered child explained that the father had a very strong addiction to video games and that made him lose his head,he didn't even have any work or money and he also had long history of stealing.Unfortunatley its not the first time that someone dies  because of  video games.In 2012 a lady from Seül killed her newborn baby directly at the cyber café.

Terrorism

Terrorism has no legal criminal law definition.Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts that are intended to create fear and they are prepared for a religious,political or ideological goal.Terrorism has become very popular these days and that is very scary because lots of people can get very hurt or even die if they have been part of a terrorist act.I think that the goverment isn't doing very much to reduce all of this terrorism and that makes a lot of people angry,like me.I think that they should think more about people's lives and less about the amount of money they would have to invest in to stop a lot of terrorists.One of the biggest terrorists in the world vas Bin Laden that killed a lot of people and that was killed by the american soldiers to stop him from doing terrorist acts.Like the one he did on the llth of September of 2001 where he destroyed the Twin Towers. and killed milions of people.

Google earth discovers woman trapped on deserted island for 7 years

In 2007,Gemma Sheridan and two friends set out on a voyage that was to take them to beautiful island of Hawaii.During the trip there was a huge storm that took out the boats electronics and washed her two friends overboard and seriously damaged her boat.Without any electronics and with a damaged boat,Gemma drifted for seventeen days until she was hit with another big storm.During the storm,Gemma was knocked unconscious,when she woke up she was on a island.She was able to survive for 7 years, untill one morning she woke up from a sound of a plane flying over her that was flying very low wich was very unusuall,She started screaming and waving her arms, the plane flew over 2 o 3 more times and dropped a small package.Inside was a radio,fresh water,food and a small medical kit.The pilot started to talk to her and when she asked how did they find her after seven years missing he said that a child from Minnesota saw the SOS sign on Google Earth.

The gimcana suprise!

This monday one of my best friends Tatiana Suffern is going to go to France to study at a school french and other languages for 3 months.I cant believe that I wont see her for all that time,but I hope she will come down a few days during that time to see us.On friday we prepared a gimcana for her because she had always wanted to do one and we fought that it would be a great goodbye suprise for her.Me and all of the other girls prepared some brownies and the clues to find the different places.We had a great time and I think she really liked it especially the brownies that Noa made that wer very tasty,she would be an amazing chef!.We are going to miss her so much but I know its going to be a great experience for her and that she will have lots of new friends and storys to tell us when she gets back!

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne is an English fashion model,socialite and actress.Latley she has become very famous because she is different than other models and she is a very original person that inspires lots of teenagers these days,like me.Cara inspires people because she is a very crazy person and she doesn't care what people think of her,thats why she always wears very funky clothes because thats her style and what she feels comfortable in,and that is what I like about her.She has won many prizes and not long ago she was nominated model of the year!.I would love to have the oportunity to meet her one day.

My long weekend

This weekend while some students went to London I had a long relaxing weekend after all of the hard exams we had.On friday I spent all day with my friends to talk and to have a good time because it had been a long time since we saw each other.For me saturday was the best day because I went shopping with my mum and my sister to the Espai Gironès to buy some colorful clothes for spring.Because all of my clothes were black and dull during winter.Now I am going to be more colerfull and bright, I absolutly love spring, I think its the happiest time of the year.

Limits of cience

Are there any limits in cience?No,I don't think there are.Over the years they have discovered all types of things thanks to cience.One of the most extroardinary discoveries for me is cloning.I find that cloning is very strange,but very interesting too.I don't think they have cloned any people yet but they have done it on animals,like Dolly the sheep.Even thought it didn't go very well beacause she had a lot of health problems that other sheeps didn't have.A film that represents all of this about cloning is the film Frankenstein were the cientist collected dead people's body parts to make a human.Even thought thats not how they do cloning it has the same objective.

Gap year:Fiji

If had to go to any place in the world to do a gap year I woukd go to Fiji.I love its sandy white beaches,the palm trees swaying in the breeze and bright blue waters.I especially want to go there to get some sun and to be able to swim in the big sea.
