Writting

Are there really too many people on our planet?It is clear to all of us that the planet is not expanding. There is only so much space on Earth, not to mention only so many resources – food, water and energy – that can support a human population. The problem not is the number of people if not the behavior of these persons with the Earth. This happens because we consume more than earth produces. Gandhi said: "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed."

The population increases and that increases the damage we cause with our needs. According to United  Nations predictions it could reach 9 billion people by 2050, and over 11 billion by 2100. But even if the population grows to 11 million people, our current level of knowledge does not allow us to assure if such a large population is sustainable, simply because it has never happened before. Rich countries emit emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. In contrast, poor countries have more inhabitants and emit less greenhouse gases. There are exceptions, such as Copenhagen. In order to maintin a large human population is for rich countries to reduce the pressure on the global climate. Therefore, it is necessary that there be a fundamental change in the core values of developed societies. The large number of inhabitants and their actions cause problems of climate change, the crisis of extinction of biodiversity, massive ocean pollution. They also cause one billion people to die of hunger and another billion are having nutrient deficiencies.
It has been investigated if we could live on another planet, but for now we can only live on Earth.


In my opinion, I think that all countries, especially the most unruly ones, would have to do something to improve all this because it hurts us all. If they did, we would improve the conditions of the Earth.

WRITING TASK: Summary & my opinion (min. 100 words)

The agreement joins to all the nations of the world to face the climate change for the first time in the history. The observers say that if 200 countries reduce the emission of greenhouse gases serà a historical achievement. The Protocol of Kyoto of 1997 established aims of reduction of emission for many developed countries, but The United States moved back and others did not do it. The key elements for get the objective are fall the global temperatures, review the reduction of gases in each country and the rich countries help to the poor countries to adapt to climate change and switch to renewable energy. The scientists indicate that the agreement of Paris has to incrimentarse if there wants to be had some possibility of stopping the dangerous climate change.

I believe thatt this is a good way to invest money because climate change affects everyone. I think that we all should reduce our consume, to avoid the world pollution and decrease it, I think that it's perfect that all of this countries are making things to try to stop it.

ARGUMENTATIVE TEXT

The nutrition of each person is very important because it can help prevent diseases and is considered important for our body functions. But I want to fous especially on childhood obesity. The main causes of obesity are: the increase in the level of nutrient intake and sedentary lifestyle. Why have children and teens reduced their physical activity? This is due to the use of television, internet and video games. The children spend too much time in front of their devices and this causes them to exercise less. And if we add the fast food, this will considerable increase their weight. In short, I think everyone should do at least two hours of activity a week and we would all feel better.

TALKIN' BOUT A REVOLUTION

Don't you know you're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper Don't you know they're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know you're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper Poor people are gonna rise up And get their share Poor people are gonna rise up And take what's theirs Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run Oh I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run Cause Finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Yes, Finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no While they're standing in the welfare lines Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation Wasting time in unemployment lines Sitting around waiting for a promotion Don't you know you're talking about a revolution It sounds like a whisper And finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution Yes, Finally the tables are starting to turn Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no Talking about a revolution oh no


TRACY CHAPMAN

Tracy Chapman was born on 30th March 1964. She is an American singer-songwriter. The name of this song actually "Talkin'Bout a Revolution". The revolution is an ongoing meme; it is a longing for equality, and for balance in the case for humanity. 

The song tries to talk about a revolution because there are people who have a lot of power and money while others starve to death and it is a song that talks about the social differences that had at that epoch too.

I have chosen this song so that every person has to fight for their rights. And this song claims the human rights and encourages us to fight them. I think that this song should be heard by everyone because it makes us think about our future. Also, it is a very beautiful song that transmits feelings to us.

                                      

                                    

Central Amazon Conservation Complex - UNESCO

The Central Amazon Conservation Complex makes up the largest protected area in the Amazon Basin (over 6 million hectares) and is one of the planet’s richest regions in terms of biodiversity. It also includes an important sample of varzea ecosystems, igapó forests, lakes and channels which take the form of a constantly evolving aquatic mosaic that is home to the largest array of electric fish in the world. The site protects key threatened species, including giant arapaima fish, the Amazonian manatee, the black caiman and two species of river dolphin.
The land to the left of the river is the eastern edge of the Jau National Park. The park is the largest forest reserve in South America and covers an area greater than 5.6 million acre. This site of more than 6 million hectares is the largest protected area in the Amazon Basin and one of the richest areas of the planet in terms of biodiversity. 

                                      

Some of my life experiences

 
I have been in swimming competitions in which some I won. For 2 years I do swimming. I really like to do it when I'm in the water from log of everything I care about.

I have already visited London. I went there three years ago with my parents and my brother. It was six days, and what I liked the most was the London Eye, Big Ben, the changing of the guard from Buckingham palace, Madam Tussaus and the British Museum. 

I have already flown in Windoor Empuriabrava. I had this experience in December, and it was a Christmas present. I did it with my brother and my cousins, and we all had a lot of fun. I really liked because it seems like you are floating in the air.

Still, I haven't thrown with parachutes. It is one of the things I like to do. I want to know what feeling you have when you're up there.

I haven't been to New York yet. One of my dreams is to travel to New York, because it must be very beautiful. What I like about travelling is that I see, especially the Statue of Liberty and the buildings with their screens. New York is one of the cities where more films have been recorded and I would like to visit these places.

I still haven't written a book. From a very small I heard that during your life you have to write a book, plant a tree and have children. It is for this reason that I would like to write a book about my experiences. I know that it is very difficult, but I will try it.

Shakespeare's Sonnets

88

When thou shalt be disposed to set me light,

And place my merit in the eye of scorn,

Upon thy side, against my self I'll fight,

And prove thee virtuous, though thou art forsworn:

With mine own weakness being best acquainted,

Upon thy part I can set down a story

Of faults concealed, wherein I am attainted:

That thou in losing me, shalt win much glory:

And I by this will be a gainer too,

For bending all my loving thoughts on thee,

The injuries that to my self I do,

Doing thee vantage, double-vantage me.

               Such is my love, to thee I so belong,                       That for thy right, my self will bear all wrong.

Cuando estés ya dispuesto a tratar de ofenderme,

y dirigir tus ojos con desdén a mis méritos.

Entonces a tu lado, lucharé contra mi,

probando tu virtud a pesar de tu engaño.

Si estás más informado de mis debilidades,

puedo para tu bando escribir un relato,

de defectos ocultos con los cuales me mancho,

y así, tú, si me pierdes, ganas también más gloria.

Que al ganar tú por esto yo también ganaré,

pues concentrado en ti mi amante pensamiento,

las injurias que yo, a mi persona hago,

te dan a ti ventaja y a mi me la dan doble.

De esta forma es mi amor, así te pertenezco,

que por tu bien, yo mismo, asumo todo mal.
