PROBLEM/ SOLUTION: Racism

Racism in Spain has been increasing so fastly, since the inmigration of many foreign people looking for work or simply for living in ''good conditions'' some Spanish people most of them older people influence young people  to not accept Muslims, Arabians.. this behaviour  affects our image, not only as a country, also as a person.

One solution to the problem is try to persuade narrow-minded people that they are people like us and does not matter the colour of the skin, also, that they come to Spain to do for a living and not all come to steal, but by the contrast this solution is very difficult to solve  because the people who believe all this things will still thinking whatever they want.

Another thing that we can do to meet this need is convince the media to give more importance to this issue,  for example, TV talk about many things throughout the day, but I only listen anything about racism twice a week as much. To my mind, TV would have to talk more about that fact because it influences all over the world, and if we watch and listen to it, probably we might realise about the damage that the racism causes.

In conclusion, we need to solve this problem as soon as we can, because in the future is so important to create open-minded people who knows despite of the difference of skin color, we all are people, and we also have the same human rights.

Advantages or disadvantages of studying abroad.

Actually, many students go abroad to study their careers, this fact has become more famous since the appearance of some grants which allows you to study wherever you want for some months or even all the year. All of us would want to live this adventure without thinking, but sometimes when we make fast decisions, we forget that not everything can be good.

On the one hand, going to another country to study is a good way to learn how to do the things from home like do the laundry or cook your own food. Also, learn new traditions, try new food and if you go for example to English-speaking countries you can improve your English or if you go to another country you can learn a new language such as German or French.

By the contrast, when you go abroad, you are far from your house, and it can be difficult because there are days in which you need some support from your family because you are sad. Besides, you are in a different country with different traditions, timetables, and it is difficult to get use to it.

All in all, the beginnings are never easy and less if you are far from your family, but this thing, is not an obstacle that impede you to take advantage of this experience,learn new things and enjoy it as much as you can.

Block method: Beyoncé/ Lady Gaga.

In the last years, Beyoncé Knowles and ''Lady Gaga'' (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) have become in global artists. I would say that it is the only thing that they have in common, as you can see in the photograph they are so different.

On the one hand, Beyoncé born in Houston, she is a luxury and a hot woman who started her career during her childhood in many TV contests, but after, she rose to fame with the group Destiny's Child and she started to working alone since 2003. She has a powerful voice and she usually sings R&B songs. Her live performances are impressive because of her voice and the spectacular costume. Beyoncé has also worked as a actress, she appeared on the film Pink Panther (2003).

By the contrast, ''Lady Gaga'' born in Manhattan , she is a extravagant woman who is a dancer, singer and songwriter. She started her career appearing in school performances and after she studied in New York University's Tisch School of arts. In 2008, she started singing alone after being part of a rock band and also working as a songwriter. She sings dance-pop songs. Her live performance are also weird, she usually wears extravagant costums like a dress made of meat. Although she studied interpretation, she has not appeared in any film.  Lady Gaga and Beyoncé are so different, but one with her extravagant and her originally songs and the other with her elegance and her powerful voice, have been able to capture the whole world. 

Books or Films?

Actually, people prefer go to the cinema to watch a film rather than reading the book.
I have always said that we do not know the importance of read books. Read books is not only read the  typical book that your teacher obliges you to read for an exam, read a book is a way to create a new world, to feel new feelings that you do not feel in real life and also to find little details, descriptions that you do not see in the film. I have many examples of this, such as Harry Potter's saga. All of this books are better than the films, and it is because in the book J.K Rowling put many important things, many details, which  do not appear in the films, and all of this details are essential to understand the movie, but obviously you do not know this thing if you do not read the books before. Other thing that I hate is  people that do not read the book because they do not like the film, my question is : When we judge things without know it? There are a lot of books that are much better than films, but also there are  films much better than the books, but one thing is clear, we can only express our view If we watch the movie and read the book. 

Venice

A place that one day I will visit is Venice because is the most beautiful city in Italy.

Venice is a ancient city which is surrounded by water from the Adriatic sea. This authentic city fleet above the sea and this is the reason that Venice is a quiet place.

The fact of being surrounded by water allows you to visit this lovely city by a gondola, in this gondola you can see the best architectures of the city, the peaceful streets and the bridges. All these things illustrates the art, the history and the beauty of this city and they had made that Venice had been declared World Heritage sit.

One of my favourite places in Venice is San Marco's square. It's the unique square in Venice. 

It's a huge square which was built in the IX century .One disadvantage of this is that the square is often flooded because is located in the low part of Venice.

In this square are situated the San Marco's basilica and also the Ducal palace which was also a jail.

Apart from this square you can also visit the San Giorgio Maggiore basilica or the Giorgio Franchetti Galery.

Here, more pictures of Venice:

Describe someone.

Today in class, we practiced how to describe someone, so here's my description.




My mum has always been my role model. Since she was fourteen years, she started to work in a shop with my grandmother and although she is the little sister, she had to do the lunch for all of her sisters. Now she works in my restaurant as a cook and she only has one break-day. Despite of having a little free time, she keeps her happiness because she says that anything makes her lose her smile; also, she is so fighter because she wants the best for me and my sister, but she is a bit suffer and she really cares about the things. There are a lot of things to say about my mother, but this things make me that  I see her like a person I want to be in the future.

The daffodils

Yesterday, my teacher posted on her blog a post related with poems, it made me remember the last year.
Last year, when I was in the high school  one of my favourite subject was Universal Literature.
It was my favourite subject because I love literature and also because I learnt a lot of things.
I have good memories of those classes because the teacher knew how to create a good atmosphere and also because he is a excellent teacher and a good person.

He read many poems by different authors, but one in particular was special for us.
We were learning the romanticism, he taught us the characteristics and when we studied the English romanticism, he read us a poem of William Wordsworth.
William Wordsworth was a english poet ,who with Colleridge published the Lyrical Ballads. They were called the poets of the lakes because they lived in the Lake district.
The poem that the teacher read to us was called The Daffodils:

I wandered lonely as a cloud     
   That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

                                                                         

Daffodils in Cornwall

When all at once I saw a crowd,
   A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
   And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
   Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
   Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A Poet could not but be gay,
   In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
   In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
   Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils                        

At the end of the course, when we were tired and nervous because the PAU exam was near, he read the daffodils over and over,  and he said that we always be his daffodils and this helped us to calm.
