FINAL REFLECTION

I'm so melancholy because this is my last post. I had been writing here since 2014 and even at the beginning it was hard at the end I love write here because I could express what I felt in any moment. The truth is that I believe now I'm more mature and as a result of it is that the topics or writings are more logical. 

My first post in this blog was the 26th of September of 2014 and the title is Bucket list. It was a task were we had to made a list saying our objectives. Nevertheless to compare my last post I take my first your-says because there I'll be able to analyze better my evolution. It is a composition called From orange to red.

I can see a large change or evolutions since 2014 to now. The great change I can appreciate is the extension of the writings. At the beginning my compositions took up 10 lines however on my lasts post I tried to widen it. I can appreciate my low level or my difficulties writing it compared to my last posts. I know that my readings aren't perfect but from the first one of this blog here have been a evolution. 

For example I can demonstrate my difficulty.  The sentences are too short and I used a simple syntactic, I only used past simple and present simple. In contrast this year I used a big syntactic variety because we spend hours and hours in class working grammar.  My vocabulary was basic and almost always I used the same words as bad, good, happy and satisfy. On the other hand, I think that I use a variety lexical because I always tried to search synonyms to don't repeat words. Another point that really grab my attention are some spelling errors in From orange to red composition which are cahange it should be change, parets when it should be parents or read when it should be red. It are mistakes that I didn't find and it shows my low level. In my lasts posts I'm really sure that there are mistakes but it seems to me that it aren't as these. 

Besides it, compositions aren't the unique things that shows the change. There are oral presentations that show it. I don't have my first oral presentation but I remember my feeling and the sensation of how it was. 
I remember I prepared it so much and the content I'm sure that it had been as now. In contrast the language, the vocabulary it were more simple and basic compared to the last presentation. My fluency is better now than in the beginning, even thought nowadays I continue getting tongue-tied. I must be sincere and confess that now I'm able to think in english, thing that it hadn't happened before because I thought in english and then I translated the sentences. For this reason I feel that my english is a little bit more fluid and as a consequence my last presentation was better than others before. 

To sum up, I really think I had realized a change or a develop during the years I was doing and writing on this blog. It helped me to improve my english and to develop some skills that are difficult. 


Now I finished baccalaureate I wish to share with you my best composition and my best oral presentation. Or almost the once I think are my bests. I'm so proud about my writing that was a little Research Essay that is called Is jealousy natural? I really believe that it is my best composition because I dedicated a week to write it because I searched and sorted the information and then I wrote it. I used all the grammar that the teacher taught us during the year and the vocabulary is assorted. I tried to not repeat words to made a special composition. 

Furthermore, my oral presentation that I consider that was great is the once I talked about my research project.  I was so nervous but even thought the presentation was fantastic. I didn't have a perfect fluency because to me it is hard but I tried to balance it out with new vocabulary and expressions. On the other hand, I did some mistakes but I know which are it and currently I'm carefully to don't do it. 

I hope you have enjoy reading my posts and if It doesn't it, I'll write better in a future because I want to continue progressing and writing something more here. Enjoy the summer and see you soon !

MEXICAN MOM WHO INVESTIGATED DAUGHTER'S DEATH IS KILLED

I want to comment with you a news which took place in Mexico but is very worried for this reason I'll explain you what is happening there nowadays. This article explains that currently are disappearing a great number of students which are kidnap and then murder. 

The article is focused in a mother of once victim who was killed 10th of May because she gave information about the incident to police and they arrest and jail the gang called the Zetas. The woman was murder in her house because one of the member of the gang began to harass her. She asked for protection but nobody wanted to guarantee it. 

This murder, has been disturbed to people and they started a campaign to found the students who are missing because the institutions aren't implicated. 

I'm very surprised because I  have seen some films about this incidents but I never should thing it will happened in the real life. If I could, I would be there to help the people who is suffering this. Lose a son or a daughter is very difficult and affect completely to a family, I know it because in my family happened years before and it suppose a big break up of the family. Everybody will fight to solve this problems but current institutions are lost and most of them don't want to do anything for fear. The world is preparing for the Third Wold Ward and most of the countries are watchful for if it begin. 

I want to transmit my support to the families who are living a hard period on their life, it will solve in a near future, you must be fighting and supporting each others because together you are more strong.

When I read the article I learned two words which help me to improve my english. They are gang and mushroomed. 

HARRY POTTER PREQUEL STOLEN IN BRIMINGHAM BULGARY

Are you Harry Potter fan?  So, you can't miss the article wrote in BBC news which I'll talk in this post. It was published the 12th of May but the incident happened a moth ago. The article explains the burglary of Harry Potter prequel which was write for a charity auction in 2008 and it has been sold for 25,000$. 

JK Rowlling posted a tweet saying that nobody should buy it. The burglary victim said that this occurrence was shocking but now he only wants to recuperate it. Furthermore, he is worried because the perpetrator will win a lot of money, if he sell it. For this reason the investigator are keep an eye on the social media in case that appear signs of the perpetrator trying to sell it.

This article surprise me because a prequel of Harry Potter was lost last month and it is something very valuable and I really believe that rich and good condition people will control their possessions. On the other hand, I think that burglaries have increase this lasts years in all the countries. My hypothesis is that the number of poor people had increase and for this reason they need to robber to live. We don't realize that number of poor people had increase because prices decrease and the style-lie too. 

So, we must be conscious that crisis is still present and even the situation seems better it isn't. We must help poor people and if we do it, the number of crimes will decrease because if we don't change it the world will be a completely caos.

When I read the article I learned some words which help me to improve my english. They are penned, plea and auction.

Here I leave you the news in video format if you would watch it, it will help you to understand better the new I explained in before. 

TO "RESPECT" WOMEN, TRUMP HAS TO RESPECT THEIR RIGHTS

The last project we worked in class is called Human Rights and we have to do some tasks related with this right. In this post I'll comment an article associated with women rights. It commented that Donald Trump wrote a twitter before the elections saying nobody have more respect to women than him. But after elections we could see that wasn't false although   his actions and taunts. 

Now he is in the presidency of United States and he is fighting to overtake this unfairness to women. Before his presidency women suffered raps and physical violence, Trumps established a some mesures to overcome it. Another inequality he suffered is in work because the majority of women were discriminated when they were pregnant and in the most occasion they didn't earn a salary. Trump stablished a law in which he guarantee six weeks of maternity to each mother.

He wanted to eliminate discrimination works which most of women or child did. And fought to make equal the salaries of men and women. Trump promised he will be the president of all Americans for this reason he will put women in the same position of equality as men. 

He established a law against abortion because it harm health of women. He approve a health center to guarantee reproduction rights. He knows there are inequality around the world but he forget it and he focused his action in United States because is a place where the inequality is largest than in other countries.

I really believe that Trump is dangerous as a president of United States because as my point of view, he belongs to extreme right. On the other hand I'm proud he is trying to guarantee women right to women, that in most of countries don't respect it. The situation of women in the world is better than fifty years ago, but I think we must live with the same rights as men. For this reason, although I not agree with Trump in the majority of his actions in his presidency, this acts show that he is a excellent person or almost he treat everybody with dignity and honesty.

I learn some words when I was reading the article. They help me to improve my english, they are mockery, outlier, pledged and harassment. 

Here I leave you a video where you can check when Donald Trump said that he respect women rights in a debate face to face again Hillary Clinton before the elections. 

DESCRIBE YOUR LIFE PARTNER

It is said that a soulmate is almost impossibe to find but we may find a perfect life-partner. I knpw I'm very young but I really believe I have had it in my side for seven months.

His name is Biel, he is my boyfriend and he is 22 years old. We met on a party last summer and since then we fell in love. He has a large face, a wide nose and light-brown and small eyes. His lips are thin and soft. His hair is ash grey and is too short because I cut it two weeks ago. He is short, fit and slim, that is to say, he has a good body shape. He wears glasses becasue he has sight problems since he was little, but he sometimes wears contact lenses.

He ended his degree last year in ESCAC, so he is graduated and he is a scriptwriter. He did some projects in advertising companies but now he doesn't work because labour market is difficult. He is hard-working and he is always doing things to improve his curriculum. Now he is studying to pass the First Certificated exam in June.

He is athletic and he loves playing basketball with his friends and in his free time or going to the gym. Although, he prefers writing something or improving his scripts. He likes exotic countries and he would like to travel around the world, although his economy doesn't let him. 

He is quick-witted and shrewd because his work requires him and he is demanding with himself. He is smart ans has a lot of knowledge in culture. He is racional and is hardly ever impulsive. He seems distant at first sight because he is sensitive and he put a wall in front of hum, but in his deep inside he is very affectionate, he is an angel.

I like him because of his qualities which are admirable and he is very loving. His unique defect that he is negative and he rarely thinks in a postive way but he is trying to improve it. He always makes me feel confortable on his side and he always makes me laugh. For these reasons I believe he is or could be my life-partner. 

DO WE LIVE BECAUSE WE ARE CAPRICIOUS?

Do you think humans are capricious? In posts before I talked about university, beauty, human rights, etc. But I really believe about the intention of humans in life. I strongly think that humans set out aims and goals to achieve and spend a lot of time trying to get it. 

Then, once we achieve our aim and get it, humand become happy and fortunate. Althought this happines is temporary because once we reach our goals we bored it or it let down us because we imagine it different and when we got it, it isn't we imagine. So, when it happens our we search another goal and this stay behind. 

Thinking about this theory I imagine, because it is what happen to me, I concluded that humans don't esteem what we have and we are constanly searching other things. This actitude is a sign of little consideration towars ourselves, becuase we apply all our effort to achieve the aims and in a short period of  time we devalue it. It is a sign of  the insecurity in life or a sign we are lost and don't know what do with our life, for this reason we search aims to distract ourselves. 

I explain it, because I had an aim years before but my  mind changes and I realize that I was searching some distractions to made me belive I was being happy. My aim was join in a competition team of my dance school and win the competitions we singed up. In August I was accepted in competition team and we started training sessions. Days after it, I met a boy in a party and we began to

know. From that party, my life and my aims changed. I realized my goals were whims. Now I participate in competition but it isn't satisfactory to me because it is something I don't want right now. But I take concious and I want to convince me that it was my dream for years and I'll be happy to achieve my aim. 

I want to stay with my boyfriend in all my free time, but I can't refuse my dream althout currently it disturb me because in future I'll reget if I leave my dream. For this reason I think humans are capricious because we change our aims quickly and don't think highly of our effort. 

HUMAN RIGHTS

What do you think that human rights are? It is a difficult question because nobody request us it and if someone ask us this the majority of people don't know what to answer b ecause we never or almost never we reflect on it. 

The correct definition human right is that it are the rights everybody have in the simple act of be humans. Everyone of us have every right to have this rights because are universals. Don't matter the religion, the country, the gender or any fact, you have this rights.

Human rights appeared at 539 BC more o less. Bedore it didn't be human rights and people lived in crwods were everybody respected the others members of their crowd. But Cyrus the Great chnage that saying every slaves were free because he stablished people had the freedom to choose their religion. And wrote them on Cyrus cylinder. Even tought, human rights weren't recognized until at 1628 in England by Magna Carta. Since then, human right begin.

In the list of Human Rights that were declarated there are 30 human rights. I wanted to dig deeper in some articles of this human rights. One of them is the article 12 which says:

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

This article is is executed in most of the countries but there are a attacks to reputation and honor that aren't protecrted against the law. Bullyng is present in every school and even the teachers try to solve them there are many cases. Currently has been apllied some organitations and telephon numbers to help childs who are bullyng victims. This is one exemple that in a lot of countries this article isn't respected at all. 

Another human right I can't wait to comment is the article 15 which says:

"(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality."

This article nowadays is fulfilled but there had been some cases when this article wasn't obey by some conrties when they where in war. For example, when Franco won the civil war all the repubilcans in Spain that took up exile in France were called statless by Franco. Besides jewish were considered statless or that they didn't be germans, too. This doesn't happen more or I think so, but it was disrespect before when human rights were already set.

Human rights must be respected by everybody because it make people human, and disrespect them will show that some part of the world isn't human but rather are monsters who don't leave live in peace. 

LETTER TO MY PARENTS

Steel Bridge street, nº7

7th April, 2017

Dear mom and dad, 

What's up there? Here in Barcelona all it's perfect, here is so hot because the spring arrives a month ago and the cold desapeared. I haven't heard from you in a while, the last I know is that on Easter you will go to Istambul to visit the grandmother because she was ill. Is she already recovered? 

I've been preparing all the month the exams I'll have after the holidays. Here the education system is completely different to Shanghai. The politicians change the system constantly and it's harm the students.

In the univerity I'm, and in the most of the univerisities, as I gave been told the course go on for two semesters of four months ehach one. The lectures are face-to-face but you may miss if you are up to date with the subject. All the exams pile up always at the end of the evaluation and we bet the grades only in two exams for semester. 

The people usually go out on Thusdays, they are a big parties !!! The sutdents trades organize it on the univerities and for this reason the clases doesn't start after the midday on Fridays. Most of the students are applied on the subjects because in class the teachers only teach us a part of the theory and we must do the other part of the theroy at home. The degrees are funny because we aren't a small group of students and we can debat anything. 

Well, this is more o less everithing about the educational system in Catalonia. It can be greatly improve because it is far behind compared to other countries. I know I should tell you something more but I don't have time. 

I'll see you in a month. 

Love you so much !!

Marina. 

"THEY WANT TO EXTERMINATE US", SAYS CHECHEN GAY MAN

This article is a testimony of a Chechen man. The newspaper talked to him, and he explained the situation in his country where there are a Republic but it is seems a dictatorship. In the article he is called Ruslan but it isn't his real name, they want to conceal it because they are explaining information in a negative way of Chechnya.

He was denounced by some gay in her town, and the police snatched him quickly. He was beaten and humiliate and even if the policemen wanted tortured him with electrical shocks. After a few weeks, he was release but they asked him for denounce more gays in his town that are married to hide her homosexuality. Now, he is looking for policemen because they are wiping out homosexual men. 

The politician system deny that they carry through secretly a campaign to annihilate the homosexuals.  But there are some investigations carried out by Russians. They have a list of names of men who disappeared and have been killed for being homosexuals. The investigation was requested by Ranzam Kadírov because the president of the Chechnya republic declared him the campaign against gays. 

Nowadays, Raglan and other men as him are hiding in Russia, but there they can be catches again for this reason they want to run away from this country and go where be homosexual doesn't matter. 

I really believe that many countries if they could they will do a campaign as this. In the Second War this persecution was present even though the jewish persecution was numerous.

I think everybody is the same, everybody have the same Human Rights even if you are homosexual or not. Gays aren't any different, they have two legs and brain as a human. But there are who have homosexual phobia and it's incredible because her aren't strange, they just love a person of the opposite sex. 

Many of them are private of live freely because they must keep out of sight or hide them homosexuality because is something that community hasn't accepted yet, and although they think they accept it many people reject it because they are closed mind.  So, the community must open their mind because if we don't do it we extinguish many small groups that are different. 

Reading this article I learned some words that help me to improve my english. They are alleged, wires, rein and halt. 

Here I leave you a video where this man explains her experience and his nowadays life.

CAN YOUR VOICE REVEAL WHETHER YOU HAVE AN ILLNESS

On this post I'll talk you about a article I read in BBC News which talk about an investigation that is caring out by an american investigator. This investigation is about a machine which analyze the brain and warn to possible dementia deseases. 

This investigator started to looking for a machine which will be able to identified this kind of deseases with the voice because he suffered it with a familiar. He explains that this machine foresee the dementia illness for the primary symptoms that a doctor doesn't get it.

This machine is used to detected the first changes on patients who have early Parkinson or Alzheimer.  Their words change, they use always the same words and this words are of low quality. The voice softens and this symptoms are the once which capture the machine but we doesn't detect it.

This machine made increase the number of the people who is forecast to suffer demential disease. It helps to humans because this changes are minimums but the doctors use it analyzing the conversations with their patients and investigating the emanational intelligence. 

This machine nowadays isn't only use to forecast deseases, it's use in comercial sector too. They use it to know who is going the conversation with the costumers and how they improve it.  It give them some advices to get more sells. The business which applied this method increase a 20% their benefits. 

Currently, some multinationals are investigating about how applied this machine in mobile phones. If it will happen in a future our privacy will disappear. 

I agree with the first investigation, the once who through the voice a machine can capture some faults which in a future will be able to produce you a demential illness. For this reason I agree, because it is a investigation which help us, our healthy and is for a good aim. But the others uses of this machine that are explained in the article are disgusting. Companies are using the machine without our consent, they can know our feelings or our emotional intelligence with this machine. Furthermore, I'm surprised with the investigation which is caring out to put this machine in the mobile phones. If now we don't have privacy with the social media we don't have privacy with a machine in our phone that will be able capable to know our feelings. I'm annoyed with the technology because it is destroying the humans and the world. 

Reading this article I learned some words which help me to improve my english. This words are behavioral, onset, enabled and subsequently. 

JACK THE RIPPER

The first few days of the month, the students of second course of baccalaureate  traveled to London to put into practice everything we had learned in class. One of our activities there was a night tour throught the streets where took place the Jack the Ripper's assassinations. 

This theme piqued my curiosity and for this reason I started to elaborate my own theory about why this man did the inicidents to the five women. I elaborated a theory but it isn't real, I only followed my sixth sense and I thouth what I'll explain you right now. 

I really believe that Jack the Ripper was a person who had a mental instability, for this reason he did the crimes. I think he had had a hard childhood, too and this develpo his mental imbalance, because pepole say that we are our chilhood.

What made him commit those crimes was the impotence of not being able to help his most beloved women by the suffering that men provoke him. I think his father died when he was little and this made that his mother would have to prostiuite itself because at this time were few options to work. I assumed that surely she arrived always at home brusied, injured and maltrated by her costumers. Because of this, she died a short time after and he was watched over by his aunt who was a prostitute, too. 

I really believe that his aunt mistreat him constantly because she vent her costumer's bursuit with him. For this reason Jack the Ripper searched for his victims in the neighborhood where he grew up. And he choose prostitutes because his mother and his aunt suffered for this profession and he couldn't do anything to help them. He migh looking for vengeance. 

He craved up them because he may see that they suffered doing their profession, he freed them from suffering as his aunt had done with him when he was little. His crimes were more intenses because he felt pleasure doing it. And the fact that he removed their uterus could mean that she doesn't suffered more.

So, this is my theory about why Jack the Ripper carried out his crimes. It is a theory totally invented so don't believe it because it is a simple theory that I have been thinking and seems logical. 

IS JEALOUSY NATURAL?

Most of the times relationships go thorough crisis and most of them are because on of the member of the couple is jealous. This members don't know why they have this feeling and furthermore they still have more fear of losing their partner. So, for this reason they ask them if jealousy is natural in a relationship. 

What is jealousy? 

It is an emotion often linked to humans and it is a reflection of their feelings or thoughts as insecurity, fear and the anxiety of losing something of great personal value. This jealousy is always produced by human relationships, particularity romantic once. This word is a set of emotions such as ire,  resentment, disability, futility and disgust.

Nowadays this term includes two words that had been distinguished years ago. They are envy and jealousy.

Therapists declare that jealousy is a evil which come from a childhood trauma or it is a symptom of psychological mental imbalance. They nod that people who feel insecure or who sometimes depend of other persons are prone to be jealousy. 

On the other hand, the assert that is totally normal feel jealousy in a relation because it may strength the relation as a result of make feel flattered your partner considering that he/she can like others. Nevertheless if it is extreme it is 100% probably that the relation can and in any moment because jealousy will make the couple enter to a negative loop and each member will want to find a person who could make their happy.

There are specialist who classified jealousy in different levels. The big distinction that everybody has to know is the healthy jealousy and the unhealthy jealousy. Besides there are feelings or situations that make the difference between this distinction. 

For example we talk about healthy jealousy when our partner go out with other persons because he/she is having fun without you. But in every moment you remember  that you are individuals with freedom and space. Want to have more communication in the relation is another example of healthy jealousy and think about what could be doing when you aren't together, too.

In contrast to healthy jealous, there are unhealthy jealous and the examples of this kind of jealous are ban or restrict your partner to go out with other persons because you think that he or she can't have fun without you. Another example is get angry with your partner because he/she doesn't do what you command him/her. Control your partner in all he/she does or wears and become infuriated if you don't know everything of your partner, too. 

This unhealthy jealous are dreadful for everybody because kill every relation and everyone get tired of having a partner as this and for this reason many relationships with this lattice are toxic and in the end they call it off. 

The investigators affirm that jealous is a trick of the mind because she created her imagination and makes human believe things that aren't real. But if everyone control the imagination and the mind this jealous disappears. 

In conclusion, jealousy is natural in a relationship but there are a little line between healthy jealous and unhealthy jealous and humans have to control our imagination to not suffer this feeling that can end with a relation.

LONDON 2017

It is said that London is the best place to learn english and get along with an amount diversity of people. On April my course will travel to London to visit it and to learn who know our way around the city. 

We'll spend there four days and we'll stay in Satesfay London Elephant and Castle hostel which is located in South London near the London bridge within two km. This hostel have bar-lounge, WiFi in public areas, 24-hours front desk, 72 rooms. One of the rule that we must respect is that pets aren't allowed and we must respect the rest of the others guests. 

Near the hostel there are lots of things to visit as the Cinema Museum, The east street market, Burgess Park, The Southwark Playhouse, Ministry of Sound and many parks and markets that are around this area. 

On the other hand the hostel are situated 15 minutes far away to Piccadilly Circus. Specifically if we take the tube on Elephant & Castle Station we have to walk nine minutes from the hostel to the station. Then we must take the brown line called Bakerloo and we will wait approximately eight minutes (five stops). If we want to go to the center of London on Trafalgar square, for example, we must take the same tube line and stop on Charing Cross Station and we'll spend 15 minutes to arrive there. 

Two nights there, will go to dinner to a restaurants and we must know who arrive there and who return to our hostel. The first restaurant is Leicester Arms and is located in Piccadilly. If we are on London center (Trafalgar Square) we have to take the same line tube, Bakerloo in Charing Cross and in the next stop we will be in Piccadilly. Then we'll have to walk two minutes to arrive to the restaurant. But if we are on the Hostel we must have the same process I explain you before to go to Piccadilly Circus Station. After the dinner to return to the hosel we must walk two minutes to Piccadilly Circus Station and take the brown line tube to Elephant and Castle Station, the journey will be done in 25 minutes.

The second restaurant is Zetland Arms and is located in Kensington. To go there if we are in Trafalgar Square is a long journey where we spend 46 minutes to arrive. We must take the bus 12 on East Street and it must go to Oxford Circus. We must get off on Parliament Square (9 stops) and then walk three minutes to take the tube on Westminster Station and we must choose the green line to South Kensington Station. Then we have tot walk four minutes to arrive to the restaurant. To return to the Hostel we have to do the same we did to go but we must stop in  Larcom Street with the bus 12.

London is a place where there are a lot of monuments to visit. In my case there are three landscapes which I want to visit. There are the Royal Greenwich Observatory, the Buckingham Palace and Queen's Gallery. 

Royal Greenwich Observatory is an astronomical observatory founded in 1675 by Charles II of England. In 1924 was established as the reference of the time zones. Nowadays it is a museum and it it is part of National Maritime Museum. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 53 in Elephant and Castle New Kent Road on the way to Plumstead Station. And we have to stop in Lewisham Road approximately  on 25 minutes (19 stops). 

The Buckingham Palace, it is the official residence of the monarchs. It is famous for hosting the Royal Collection, an extraordinary collection of artworks from royal collection.  Originally was a petit Hôtel built for the first duke of Buckingham in 1703 and it was acquired by King George II in 1762 to convert it into a private residence. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 148 in Heygate Street in Shepherds Bush. Approximately on 23 minutes we must stop on Grosvenor Gardens (12 stops) and we will arrive there. 

The Queen's Gallery is a public art gallery at Buckingham Palace. There are works of art from the Royal Collection. It is situated at the west of the palace and was opened on 1962. From hostel to there we must take the bus number 148 on Larcom Street to Shepherds Bush and we must get off in Vauxhall Bridge Road approximately in 23 minutes (12 stops).

I found this instructions to  move around London, I really believe that it is difficult but this search help me to make it familiar to me. 

WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKENHEARTED WHEN THEY ARE "CATFISHED" ONLINE ?

Currently, we live in a society which is surrounded by Internet and Social Networks. This fact carried out things that never happened before as frauds, hoaxs or love social networks. I found an article that is an opinion article and talks about a TV program called "Catfish". It is about a men who investigate the suspicious people on Internet and trick other persons for a benefit. 

The author of this article is Eva Wiseman and she discovered when she watching the TV show there have been 100 broken hearts because they fall in love with unknown person talking in social networks. The unknown persons says that the camera is broken or that he/she have good light and they use it as a excuse to not show up himself or herself  and be able to continue deceiving the other person. Eva Wiseman states that it happen around the world and not only in this specific cases on televisión. 

On it is explained a specifically case of a women who was fooled by a men who was married and with two children. For this reason when she discovered decided to denounce it on a court and claims that delate the false profiles on this social networks. Then, she explains another story of a women called Clarie and she fall in one of this fools. It hurt her feelings because she sharply feel in love with the false men and never feel the same with other men. 

Eva Wiseman says that this program is entertaining because we can see who people are be able to mislead another one. She determines that Catfish TV program transform the pain of them in pleasure for us. Although, she really want to make conscious to society that there are a lot of people which could fool us and it is a blow because the heart is difficult to heal. 

I really believe Social Networks are dangerous and we don't talk with unknown people as in our day-to-day. So, I agree with Eva Wiseman because we must took some security mesures and limit our feelings because heart feelings are important emotional and a hoax like this may change our life forever or make us into a depression. 

I learn some words when I read the article which helped me to improve my english language. They are suburb, crippled, dupe and travelled. 

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2017: HISTORY, STRIKES AND CELEBRATIONS

In this post I'll talk about a celebration which happened this week, namely the 8th of March. It was the women's day and took place strikes around the world to become aware people that there are still a large gender inequality. I found a article in BBC news which talks about the origin and the celebrations of this day and I would share it with you. 

Everything started in 1908 when 15.000 of women marched through New York as a labor movement demanding less hours working, better wages and the right of vote. This fact made Socialist Party of America to declare the First National Women's day the following year. To another hand, Clara Zetkin, had the idea of create the international day for women. It happened at a International Conference of Working Women in Copenhagen in 1910. It was celebrated for first time in 1911. But it was oficial in 1975 when United Nations started celebrating the day with a annual theme. This day has become a date to celebrate the evolution of women in society and a to aware that the fight isn't over because there are many inequalities. 

Clara Zetkin's idea hadn't fixed a date to celebrate it. Although that nowadays we celebrated it at 8th of April. The day was fixed during a women strike in 1917 in Russia when they got the right of vote. The strike started the 8th of March and for this reason, today we celebrated on this date. 

The International Women's Day is celebrated giving flowers to women. For example in Italy, the flower which they give is mimosa blossom. Furthermore, most of the countries celebrated this day working part-time since the Work Council declares it. 

This year the theme was #BeBoldForChange. During this 2017 there have been strikes around the world as in USA against the ideology of Donald Trump or in Irish against the abortion law. Strikes are summoned in all the world and International Women's day was incredible how many people took the streets to be heard. 

The article also talks about International Men's day. It is on 19th of November but isn't declared official as the women day. The theme of 2016 was Stop Male Suicide. 

I really believe that we, women, have to defend our rights because we are as men and nobody are able to saying or treating us as if we are inferior to them. This article aware me to the fight that women been doing until 100 years. So, We mustn't stop the movement and fight our ancestors begin and we have to end with the gender violence.

I learned new words that appear on the article. It are strike, seeds and mimosa. 

NOKIA 3310 MOBILE PHONE RESURRECTED AT MWC 2017

The article which I comment in this post is about a mobile phone that Nokia bring out on MWC 2017 this week. The Mobile World Congress takes place from 27 of February to 02 of March, there electronic companies show their advances. 

Nokia present a mobile which was phased out in 2005 and which had had fame when it was bring out. For this reason they try again to market it because people feel nostalgic towards him. The company that produce announce it as a mobile which can detoxify you from technology. It only provides limited Internet facilities and is based on 2.5G connectivity. So, it doesn't be as Androids or iOS mobile. It advantage is that battery ran out slowly, it may not be charged for a month. It is possible for it blue screen. The price of the mobile is 49€. 

On this article, also speaks of the launch of another mobile: Nokia 6. It mobile is as the others of mid-tier of Samsung and Apple. It's launch are a strategy of HMD, the company who produce it and which wanted to gain ground in this market. But some watchers said that HDM's succeed was far from guaranteed because is difficult to push into the high-end versus Apple, Samsung or even Huawei. 

I'm not informed on this subject but I choose this new to comment because I like a idea of the article. I'm agree with the launch of 3310 Nokia because they say that it can help to detoxify society. I think that society is contaminated with all the technology and I want to solve the problem because we are destroying our life and our world with technology.

Reading the article I learn new word which help me to improve my vocabulary. It are phased out, mid-tier, heritage and reckoned. 

IS IT A EVOLUTION OR A DESTRUCTION ?

Do you sometimes think that you are living in a new world? Internet didn't exist twenty years ago and now we need to plug in it. My parents aren't becoming familiar with Internet and their uses because they didn't born in this computing environment. Nowadays, children born with electronics under the arm which would never have thought that would happen. Given the quickly evolution and globalization, do you not fear envision how might be the world in twenty years?

I imagine Earth in twenty years getting along with robots, telegrams and electronics stuffs, due to the electronics right now help us to live better and they provide our existence. I'm scared because Internet  pop up and revolution everything. Everybody in this world are plug in it and lost everybody are addicted to it, and the fact is that many deny it, but they are actually addicted. 

Might be that in the future the divergence of communities, races and countries will be able it  become a single community due to globalization that Internet caused. I believe that in twenty years Earth might be divided in two sections. Once will be the rich which have luxuries in hand and an easy life with technology. The other section will be the people who cannot afford the luxuries or live in a big house or technology because the others will have taken over everything. Moreover, I think rulers will be robots, security guards and police too.

Well, my opinion or  my perception of the future seem a dystopia script. But it is only my perception and it is the way I imagine the future if technology and Internet continue evolve as they have so far. In fact if it won't happen, the factories may destroy ozone layer and will happen something as the extinction of dinosaurs. 

To sum up this post, I' afraid of the technology though it bring me benefits and I like use it. But I really believe that more than an evolution for humanity it is a destruction. So, as for the technology we are taking giant steps and might end terrible. 

INTERNET AND ITS USERS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER

Nowadays, society is dominated by Internet and by the use of social networks which have many registered users. In fact, this dominion in society may be beneficial in some aspects to improve the world. Although, there are points that in my opinion don't favor the world and it's going to got worse everyday. 

Firstly, I think the massive use of social networks and Internet have some benefits. They are useful for research, considering that recently we don't search information on books or on encyclopedias. If we have any doubts about something Internet almost always give us the solution, but nobody guarantee their truth. They also benefit the communication between people who are separated by thousand kilometers, between people who still don't know each other because they established friendship via social networks, or even they might help to perform remote business meetings. Among other things, in a near future they will be able to investigate incurable diseases or carry out news experiments as to create robots persons.

On the other hand, Internet might be dangerous and violent, so if we don't control it the world may end in a complete disaster. Social networks register all the posts, images and videos which people upload or share. This can be seen by anyone because it is on the cloud and is shared by everybody. They are an addiction and if they aren't controlled soon it can cause illness as personality disorders ir Hikikomori syndrome in which the person is locked in his room without knowing anything from outside. For this reason the growth and the evolution of Internet will be dangerous because everybody depends on them and will end up with the real meaning of life. 

Our ancestors lived wonderfully and stupendously without Internet or Social networks. I think if we follow this way we'll be killing the world. In conclusion, the world doesn't change for the better if Internet and social networks evolve at this pace because overtime we move away from the world we live shutting on electronic devices, furthermore we always wake up only to see what news are on these webs. So, if we don't want to end as the most dystopia that were created, we modify out mindset and think about the future.
