Niptuck dialogue

A self-conscious girl exposes to her friends about her interest on undergoing plastic surgery.

Girl: Guys, lately I’ve been thinking about maybe doing something, but I’d like to hear what you have to say about it before trying anything.

Boy 1: Sure

Boy 2: Okay

Girl: Well, I’m sure you have noticed that I’ve developed a bit of self-consciousness about my breast size, so I began to consider the option of getting a boob job done about a week ago. Bigger breasts are always better, right?

Boy 1: Your tits are fine, come on. Also, that is going to be very expensive, isn’t it?

Boy 2: If it is really necessary for you, go get it. But I personally like you just the way you are.

Boy 1: I agree.

Girl: I appreciate your support but I think that it will improve the way I feel about myself, so I’ll probably do it.

Girl 2 enters the conversation.

Girl 2: Hii! What’s up with the long faces?

Girl 1: I’m seriously considering aesthetic surgery.

Girl 2: Well it was about time, wasn’t it? I mean, a nose job will make you way prettier than you are now with that huge nose. I’m glad you realized.

Pets

Nowadays a lot of people have pets. Some of them have pets because they are useful for them, and other people because for pleasure. But, it is justifiable snatch the freedom of some animals for pleasure?

Depends on the case and the animal. For example, a shepherd needs a dog to guide the flock of sheeps. In this case it is justifiable because the dog has a purpose.

However, lots of people have pets as an entertainment. Regarding to some animals as cats and dogs, I don't have arguments against it, because they're animals that can adapt easily to a human environment and they used to go its own way, but I'm not saying that we mustn't have to take care of them.

The exotic animals are another case. With them there's no justification, because their characteristics aren't adapted to another climate, and as a consequence of that, they suffer a lot because of the climate and their new life in captivity.

In conclusion, it's not ethic have pets that we don't take care of them and have exotic animals, because they suffer a lot.

2nd term

I'm gonna talk about this second term because I'm looking for some topic to talk and, reviewing my blog I found an entry about the first term so, I will continue this topic with a 2nd term review and 3rd term review.

This second term has been as strange as the first, even more, possibly not in a good way. On the one hand, I improved my English and Spanish marks, that were too low.  But on the other hand I got worse in some subjects that went well the first term, as physics and maths. I don't know my marks yet, I have to wait two or three weeks, but I can say that, in general, I get worse for some reasons.

One of them is that I haven't organized well, doing all my schoolwork quickly in the last time, and the quality wasn't the same. Another reason is that I was distracted very easyly, and I trusted too much in my ability to study but, with schoolwork, it doesn't work.

So my objectives for the third term are to work harder,organize better my time and improve my average, if its possible, trying to reach a 8.5, but it's difficult.

visit to the UAB

The last 4th of February we visited the UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). We caught a bus at 7:45 am, and we arrived there at 9:30 am. I went with some friends to a talk about different engineerings. It was so boring because they didn't explain us about the engineerings, as the subjects, but they talked about how was the university (accidentally, we went a talk about a private university because it was the only talk about ingeneerings) .

As a consequence of that, we were disappointed, so we went to the bar for the next two hours. We only wanted to go to that talk and it was publicity. Plus, I have to say that none of my friends, including me, were interested in study in the UAB.

Trip to london

1. How to get to Picadilly Square. What can you visit near our hotel? (20 minutes on foot)
We can go Picadilly Square by bus or on foot. On foot is one hour and five minutes crossing Hyde Park. By bus is faster, catching de 94 line we can be there in 35 minutes. 

Near of our hotel we have some interesting places to visit. We can visit Kensington Park and Hyde Park, and the Science museum. Both of them are very important in London so, I hope we will visit them.

2. Look for 3 must-see landmarks in London you definitely would like to visit.

Write 50 words about each landmark and how to get there from our hostel by bus and tube.

 Hyde Park is one of the most popular  and one of the largest parks  in London. It's known as the speaker's corner because on Sundays it's allowed to make a speech if it respects the law. We can get there walking because it's quite near to the hostel

Natural History Museum. Is one of the most important museums in the world. It has a collection of more than 70 million of specimen, especially in zoology and botany. We can get there walking 5 minutes to a bus stop and getting the line 70.

Buckingham Palace. The Buckingham palace it's the oficial residence of the queen. It's one of the most beautiful palace of England and of the world. It was built in 1703 for a duke, but in 1762 was bought by the king George III. We can get there catching the bus line 9 and walking 7 minutes

3. The musical. Browse the theatre plays available in London at the time of our visit. Choose two shows you would like to see, state why and their cheapest ticket prices on Saturday night. 

Charlie and the chocolate Factory: I want to see that musical because I saw the film when I was little, and it's an interesting story. It's also the cheapest one.

The Lion King. It's a classic musical that I haven't seen yet. I saw the film and I don't know if they are similar. It's quite expensive, so possibly we won't see it.

Can technology make a better world?

The world has changed a lot in the last years because of a technological impact, which has changed our way to life. Has it changed in a good way? Can technology make a better world?

These questions have opened big discussions. In fact, the technology has created the majority of our problmes, as the climate change, that we have to solve with more technology. So, What is the main purpose of the technology?

To answer this question we can search in the course of the history what was their utility. The prehistorics used the technology to improve their life quality. So this is its main purpose. Technology simplifies our life and helps us make it better, improving our life quality, for example creating a heating circuit to make us feel more comfortable during the winter, and giving us the oportunity to live more years.

In conclusion, the technology can make a better world, solving problems that it created and simplifying our life. There should not be any limits such as experimenting with humans because it can delay the discovery of an important thing, for example, the cure of the cancer or something similar.

Black Friday

The Black Friday is an American tradition that consists in a huge discount in a lot of products, only for a day or a weekend. This day coincide with the day after Thanksgiving Day.

This tradition has extended all over the world. In Spain, the discounts are leading by "El Corte Ingles" and "Media Market", and a lot of people have taken advantage of this.

But there's something that have let me down and it's embarassing. Media Market went up their prices before the Black Friday to save their discounts and lose less money with the discounts. Embarassing.

In my opinion, all the discounts are welcome, but it's a symbol that our society is becoming more american and we're losing our traditions and adopting the american.

Fast food: Healthy or sickly?

Nowadays  there are a lot of  fast food chains: McDonalds, Burger King, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken),... and, of course,there are a lot of consumers all around the world. Some people, who probably have never seen the documental of "Supersize me", think that this fast food is healthy or not as bad as the other people think.

In this documental, Morgan Spurlock ate during  30 days only food of McDonald. In five days, he increased his weight 4,5kg! He needed 5 months to lost the weight that he had won in that month.

But not all are disadvantatges. The fast food gives you lots of calories and it's a good way to recover energy in few time, And normally it's very cheap (KFC is not as cheap). In McDonalds you can take a menu for moreless 6€.

In fact, fast food it's not as bad as people think unless you eat fast food with moderation. To finish I have tos say that I like fast food, is very economic and it's tasty, but recently I have had bad experiences with fast food. One day, in Barcelona, after having a big lunch in McDonalds, I went with my friends for a walk, and my heart was shouting to stop. I had never felt on this way before. And it was produced by McDonalds food, because of the low-quality meat. I have never eat  in McDonalds as much as that day, and it was two years ago.

TV programmes in Spain

Now, the majority of the TV programmes in Spain are Americans. Why? It has simple reasons.

The first reason is because we belive that USA is the center of the world. They have more control because they took advantage of us when the first and the Second World War finished, because Europe were destroyed and they gave us money to rebuilt. In that time, we began to depend of the USA.
The second reason is because most of the Spanish series are very bad and seedy. They haven't have a good plots and some of the scenes are pathetic. The few good spanish series have not as exit as the american series, because it's only showed in Spain.

Another fact that make us prefer american programmes is because the "famous programmes" in Spain are junk TV, for example, "Salvame"

Sincerely, I prefer americane series than spanish series or catalan series, but, normally I enjoy it because it's about things that are nearer to me than the matters that appear american series.
