Village or city

As you know, I’m from Pobla, some days I think I’m lucky for live in here, because maybe it could be worse, but I think here I’m wasting the time. Villages are boring, unless you are a grandma, or grandpha, or maybe if you have your husband/wife and you’ll have children, but for teenagers, it’s quite similar all the days.
We can’t do anything special, specialy in winter. From my point of view, Pobla is great in summer, where you can do a lot of things, for example; go to the river, the lake, the swimming pool, in general you can do more exciting things than the city, but in winter, in Pobla returns the tedium. All the people in the village are at home, and the only thing we can do is going to ski, or going out with your friends to have a coffee or a drink at night.

But I’m the kind of person, that think “where you go, you’ll have good time, if you have a good sense of humour, or good friends, or nice day… or…whatever you want..” like the song : Don’t worry, be happy.

Being young in a mountain village

Some people say that it's difficult to be young in a mountain village. I think that they are wrong, because living in a mountain village has got of course disadvantages for the youth, but the advantages are more important than them.

The principal advantage that we’ve got in a mountain village is our freedom. Since we are very little children we can go out alone, without any adults, and, of course, we can go out at night younger than young people who lives in the city, which aren't allowed to do that.

Another advantage is the contact with the nature. We are very near it, and if you love, like me, hiking and cycling and other sports in the nature, you can practice that. You only have to do two metres and you are in the middle of the nature.

I said that there are disadvantages for the youth in la Pobla. First of all, we haven’t got a lot of things to do here. We can’t play exotic sports, we can’t go to a good cinema or to good discos, we can’t assist to a concert of our favorite music star, we haven’t got good shops… If you want to do all these things you have to move to a bigger place, like Lleida or Barcelona.

Another disadvantage is our future. If we want to study a University degree we have to move to another city, because we can’t commute to Lleida each day with public transport, and some young people haven’t got car, and the same if we want to work in a good job related with our studies, we have to move to other places, because a lot of qualified careers aren’t offered in our area.

But in spite of these disadvantages, I think that la Pobla is a good place for live, and I’m very well here.

I think that the privacy, the intimacy and the secret of the communications are fundamental rights, however, the guarantee of these rights isn't so simple inside a field, of Internet.
Today, there aren’t mechanisms to effectively monitor the use of personal information, photos or videos of people into the internet. In our country there is only a code of ethics of the Association of Electronic Commerce, whose registration is voluntary, so there is no obligation to neither comply with anything outside the moral commitment of each neither company neither sanction in the event of violation of the right to privacy.
The hackers who enter without any problems in our computer can get all the information that we have.
I would also like to comment on the intrusion they can do in our emails or chat the hacker legal (the police, not groupJ). They can hear or read all, there isn't impunity. I think we all agree that thanks to them have been arrested “paedophile rings” or terrorist, but what are the limits or controls? What they do with the millions of obtaining information that is unrelated to the investigation? Should we sacrifice our privacy for the security?...In short, I believe that the privacy and intimacy not exist into the internet.

I think that, scientific research is very important, not only for cloning animals, but for cloning people.
I agree in clonin animals because I think & can be a great help for the medicine. for example, if an anainmal is cloned & can help researches to clone a liver to a human.
cloning animals can be very useful to see & animals genetic, is similar that the human genetic. To sum up, researches can compare.

Have we got to be worried?

This winter, is being hotter than last years. I don’t want to alarm you, but I think that this is the first symptom of the climatic change.
In my opinion and about things I’ve heard, we are in danger, not this year, or the next but yes in fifteen or twenty. And in fifteen years, I hope, we’ll still living and we’ve got to fight now to make a better future for us and for our sons.
Because people say that we aren’t in danger, that this is only another hot winter as the others we’ve had, but I’m worried, I don’t think that this is a normal winter, and if we don’t save the earth, who will do it for us?
In a nut shell, the earth is ill, and with our actions, we can save it or not.

Reading, the key of success


Reading is, from my point of view, a really complete activity, and also an important way to learn. It’s really important for the people in our society to read, if you read you’ll be near of your success.

First of all reading is an amazing way to study a language. By reading you’ll learn a lot about the language. Spelling, grammar, vocabulary, writing… all these aspects will improve if you read a lot. If a child reads a lot since he’s really young, he’ll be able to talk and write better in the future.

In addition, reading is amazing. When you read you can imagine your stories as you want. It’s an extra intellectual effort, but it’s at long recompensed. Because reading develops your imagination in a society where everything is straight and that don’t help people develop their imaginative profile. And above all, reading is amusing. An amusing way to learn. If you think a little about that, you’ll realize that there aren’t a lot of activities with them you learn and you have fun.

Finally, reading you grow up as a person. Books are full of important lessons for your life. Books teach you about friendship, love, honor, working… These bonds that aren’t really supported in the modern society, will make you more sociable and good person.

In short, reading is, from all views, a good habit.

THE CHAOS THEORY

In our own life we can’t understand the totality of the events. For example: why one day we have bad luck all the day? Or why the planets move on those orbits?
Edward Lorenz “answers” these questions in 1963; he was a scientist of the MIT (Massachusetts Iechnologic Institute) and created two or three equations and a theory, called Chaos theory, who still helps to understand these uncertain events. But it’s not developed enough to make us understand specify movements or things.
The Chaos theory talks about these irregular movements that in appearance haven’t got relation, but if you apply these equations you can find the relation between them and their solutions. The best example is the investigation that Lorenz did in 1963. In the beginning of the investigation, the events developed correctly but one morning Lorenz woke up and thank that they could use three decimals instead of six to save time and paper and then was when the chaos appears.
