20% of the world’s population consumers 80% of its resources



I think that human consume resources that they don’t need. First humanity began to consume coal for trains and steam machines.

Above all the exploitation of coal was increased in the 18 century with the Industrial Revolution.

After humanity began to consume oil, today oil is considered a relic in the world like gold. Oil is used for everything as gas, plastic, etc. Also humanity extracts more recourses as minerals, wood, metal, etc.

The inconvenient is that these resources are running out and the majority pollute the environment and we are responsible for destroying the world because we are stealing the resources that don’t belong to us.

The greed of the human race surpasses all expectations and don’t realise that some day they will have nothing left because all the means would have gone. It’s a pity!

Jhon Ritch

Director General

World Nuclear Organitzation

Dear Mr. Ritch;

I grateful about the work you do in World Nuclear association. I think the nuclear energy and sustainable Development are very necessary in the world today.

All of this very good while is under control but for many years we have lived under the threat of a cold war and one always thinks what would happen if there was ever a Nuclear War.

Nobody has ever forgotten Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the thousands of atomic warheads capable of blackening the Sky and all civilization.

Fortunately, those who would champion nuclear technology stand on ever-stronger foundations built by scientists and diplomats labouring for decades to convert the ideal of “atoms for pace” to practical reality.

I would not mind joining citizens everywhere and join hands to fine solutions to a global crisis but I always have some doubts.

Yours sincerely;


Sònia Valent

Empuriabrava


Empuriabrava was built in 1968. In this year one businessman built the canals which were inspired from Miami Florida. Before Empuriabrava were only wetlands and farms.

The first hotel to be built was the Valmar, and this hotel was built by my grandparents. After this type of businesses was built Club’s Nautic, with the intencion of be a casino they symbol of Empuriabrava. My father rented the bar restaurant from the Club Nautic and he named it “Boat Love” and he worked in for five years until he bought a new restaurant in front of the beach.

He worked in the restaurant with my mother 27 years ago name of that restaurant was “El Bruel”. After, my parents left the restaurant and now it is rent.

Now my parents work in the summer in the “Chiringuito Bocana” in front of the Empuriabrava beach. In the summer I work in the “chiringuito” as a waiter. I like this work but depends on the days because there are clients which are a nuisance.

This work is very funny because everyday you do different things and meet different people.

My thinks for English


I don’t speak English very well but I would understand English if people talked slowly. I think that English at this moment are very important for travelling round the world, but I think that English will never be spoken among ourselves, in every country we have to speak our Languages.

Ok, the system to learn English is not effective enough because with technology we are learning hardly anything because to learn English well, the teachers would have to dedicate more time with the pupils and never leave the pupil alone because every pupil needs more time to learn and the teacher should respect the pupils and never discourage them.

On the other hand the teachers never have pity the some pupils, when they feel bad about been able to be like the others.

On the other hand I feel that some teachers don’t have enough patience when a pupil finds learning English hard and I think they should do more to help them be like the others.

Doubts emerge over heart risk to 'apple shape


One study says that the people that have an “apple shaped” have more possibilities to suffer heart attacks than the people who have the fat distributed around de body.

One well known measure it’s the body mass index (BMI) which relates weight to height.

There are three types of obesity.

“Waist-to-hip” obesity compares the distance around the hips and waist to measure what is known as central obesity. “Apple shaped” and “Pear shaped”.

“The percentage of UK adults who are obese has increased by 50% in the last decade, and obesity in children continues to grow at an alarming rate."

"Around three-fifths of type 2 diabetes and one-fifth of heart disease cases are attributable to excess body fat. Six cancers are also linked to obesity.”

In my opinion there are many people in the world who don´t look after themselves,because they don´t consider important to lead a healthy life.The easiest way for the majority of people is to buy ready made food which sometimes is very unhealthy.Eating too much food from places like, McDonald´s or Burger King etc. etc.while making life sjmple and easy could have harmful consequences.

Iphone 5


In the world people already the people will be speculating as when the next Iphone 5 will be produced. The new iphone will probaly be very different, although the main characteristic is that the new Iphone will probably have aluminium casing.

There are different rumours from consumers, that before the mobile phones that phone was be the part behind was not very good at the back. Also the logotype of apple would shelter and aerial.

With everything the cell phone should be more resistent and light. But this only is a hypothesis. Although people say that the Iphone has a bigger screen of 4 inches.

The new chip A5 for the new Ipad 2, will be the heart of Iphone 5.

Possibly the camera will be included by Sony.

Probably the competence will be make better cell phones. HTC already make the new line of cell phones with platform Android 2.2 and nokia with platform windows phone OS 7.

TV




The programme of tv of today are very bad, because always talk about gossip and the lives of famous. Every afternoon in telecinco they do the program “Salvame” and the main character of this program is Belen Esteban.

This woman is famous because she was married with a bullfighter Jesulín de Ubrique and she has a daughter with him (Andrea). Belén broke with Jesulín and in the programme she only gossips abot the family of Jesulín. Also there is another programme of gossip Gran Hermano, this programme consists in people living in a house and these people don’t go outside. Now this programme is televised 24 hours and to televise this programme they have take off the television CNN+, a programme of 24 hours international news.

These programme have the biggest audience in the afternoons. In other channels they show soap operas from South America. In Spanish TV only have educative programme very limited channels. The most educative are programme the news.

Also there are good programs as “pasapalabra” or “trivial”. These programme teach you indirectly. In rtve sometimes there have history programme as “La República” or “Cuentame”.

I think that the television should be regularized, so there is more choise for every age and every taste. When the scandal and gossip programmes have the biggest audiences doesn’t say much for the country. That’s why probably Spain is one of the worst countries for education.
