Post-Brexit life and Washington’s Capitol (COMMENT 4)

 2021 would be like a phoenix bird, but now it seems the opposite. We only have lived eight days, but we can say that they are crazy.

Firstly, let’s talk about the United Kingdom. They said goodbye to Europe in 2020. Some years ago, they had achieved the famous Brexit. Word made up of Britain and exit. But now, the UK and the European Union have signed an agreement about the free market.

Secondly, last Thursday, I woke up earlier because I had to go to the medical center at 8.30. When I returned home at 9.15, my sister, who had escorted me, and I put the news on TV. Washington’s Capitol was being stormed. Hundreds of people went there after some tweets from the future former president, Donald Trump. He was encouraging them that the elections for him had been a fraud. The people understood these tweets, and they took up the Capitol. Four people have died, and today, the media have confirmed another one, a Capitol police officer.

All the situation in the United States disappoints me. I hope that with the new president, violence problems would decrease. I think that it is an incredible country, due to this they are the first global power.

COVID-19 (COMMENT 3)

In November 2019, in the Chinese country a new strange illness was discovered, coronavirus was called due to its shape if we look through a microscope.

Starting in 2020, we didn’t expect what was going to happen. In March, the situation in Spain was uncontrollable. The Coronavirus was in all of Spain, we hadn’t the necessary resources to fight against it. The number of infected didn’t stop increasing as well as the number of deceased. Spanish government banned going out to the street, only to shop the necessary and the people who had to work. We were locked down, stay at home, they told us. Four months later we were allowed to go out, but now with new rules.

All the celebrations from this time have been very strange. Summer without festivities, Christmas without family, and January without parades. But it can change. Now, we have a vaccine or being a little more specific, vaccines. In Spain two different vaccines have been marketed by Pfizer and Moderna companies.

In my opinion, vaccination can be a good option, but always having in mind that it has dangers. 

Dreams (COMMENT 2 )

We don't need a dreamcatcher to make our dreams a reality. For me, it's obvious that some dreams, working hard can be a reality, but other dreams, are stupid, and trying to get them is a loss of time.

Living under the water would be amazing and spectacular. Every morning you would see the fishes and the oceans' elements. But this, for an ordinary person it is impossible. Why am I saying this? To start, homes under the water must be very expensive as all the things have to be prepared to cope with the pressure. We also add that you should have a submarine to be able to go to the land, and get the things for the day to day or to have a social life.

The last point to talk about is NASA and the women. NASA is preparing a plan, Artemis I, like the Greek goddess of the Moon and the twin sister of Apollo. Only 12 humans have been on the Moon, and all were male. A man last walked on the Moon in 1972 and with this new plan NASA is thinking about sending the first woman there by 2024. NASA calls for $28 billion in funding through 2025.

Everything can be a reality, from living under the water to going to the Moon. If you wish, you will get it, but you should always be cautious.

Bees and flowers (COMMENT 1)

When everyone sees a bee, he automatically thinks that the bee is going to sting. There I am the first that start to enter in panic. But do not worry anymore my friend, stinging people is not their task.

Bees have a principal role in pollination like the wind or more they help the pollen to arrive in the flowers. They are the main insects to commit the pollination. But also, bees make honey and wax, which we use for candles and other things.

Now, just before killing a bee or any other insect, think about how they help nature and, really for all of us. They make so much for the Earth, so thank you very much bees!

 Hi!! I'm just going to say that I'm in 1º BACHILLERATO.

To pass English

To be honest, my level of English is just average. But I think that it is normal because I am still a teenager. In the future, I want to be very good at English and speak it fluently. This would only be a reality if I try it very hard.

In May I should get my B1. I am studying with my sister who is studying to be an English teacher. Sometimes I see it very difficult to understand all the verb tenses. My head starts to make a mess and I mix them all together.

In conclusion, learning new languages requires to be concentrated on the classes and understand the grammar and also vocabulary. As I see it, learning languages is very important in order to get good job opportunities and learn about new cultures.

Travelling

To begin with, I have confessed that I haven't been to other countries yet, but in the future, If I had money, I would like to travel around the world like Willy Fog and Passepartout. In addition, next year I will be visiting my sister in Brighton.

Travelling is very important because we learn from other cultures. And the most important, nowadays, we learn other languages. English is the most important language in the world, though.

I’d like to go to the United States, especially to cities like New York to see the Statue of Liberty. Or to Washington, D.C. to see The White House. Also, I want to go to Canada or the United Kingdom.

Obviously, we need money to travel but the most crucial is to have friends to share the experience and rises.

Privacy

Nowadays, the privacy is very sensitive. We have more information on our computers or our phones than in our houses.

The big companies, like Google, listen through our technologies to show publicity according to our favorite topics, or they look at our searches. For example, my sister and I were talking about Dublin because she was deciding her Erasmus destination. And a few moments later, in Instagram's stories, there was an advertisement about apartments to live in Dublin.

Helicopter parents are always looking for their children, they protect them more than it is necessary. These parents are constantly telling us what to do and what not to do. They want to control all our steps.

Personally, I think kids should have an intimacy, but with some limits. We need to look for our likes. It is important to discover the world by ourselves. I like when I spend my free time alone doing whatever I love, for example reading my favorite book or watching my favorite series.
