Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente (COMMENT 11)

What fantastic news! I do not know why it does not exist before. Everyone knows the wolves' situation. They are in danger of extinction in Spain. Time ago, in Sierra Nevada, wild wolves were living there, but now there they are no longer.

Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente was born in Spain at the year in 1928. He was a famous naturalist and a great defender of the wolves. He studied medicine and learned biology by himself. He carried out various radio and TV documentaries. But above all, his most famous documentary was "El hombre y la Tierra."

On the 4 of March of 1980, he died in a crash plane in Alaska with another four people. He wanted to record the "Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race." It is speculated that before he got on the helicopter, he said: What a beautiful place to die! All about the crash is mysterious. People say he was killed due to his growing political popularity though he was not interested in this.

I grew up with "El hombre y la Tierra" because my father is a big fan of him. He even has a ringtone from the documentary. I think that he was a great man.

Don't get sick... (COMMENT 10)

Nowadays, nothing is the same as before. Starting with this blog, since the pandemic began, all the blog posts are about coronavirus. I don't enjoy it. I am always writing about this virus and, sometimes I have any more to say about this issue.

On the one hand, some people think that we must be in our homes because of government orders as we are having sad news every day. With these new rules, the infections and number of deaths would decrease in few weeks.

On the other hand, we have the economy. A lot of businesses are closing, or they have serious troubles paying all debts. A few months ago, I read that a man who had a bar was bankrupt, and he had committed suicide because he was overwhelmed by the situation. The authorities should help them so that they can stay open and also be helping the economy.

In conclusion, if all of us are careful, we will get better. Remember to follow the prevention tips.

Aretha Franklin (COMMENT 9)

 Aretha Franklin was an American singer. She was born in 1942 and died three years ago, in 2018. She was known as "Lady Soul" or "Queen of Soul" because she was the greatest exponent of that genre.

I have read the lyrics and listened to the song.  She says that her lover prefers alcohol rather than her, although she has tried to help him. She went to the doctor's, and her father wanted to talk with him to improve.

She only wanted to love him, and when she understood that she couldn't be more next to him because he used her and treated her like a fool girl, she left him.

Although it's a song, and most probably it's fake, I support the character resolution. It's better to be alone than with a man that doesn't treat us as we deserve.

Sleeping (COMMENT 8)

Sleeping is essential for your health. Many people have difficulties at the time of doing this activity, and they have trouble. Some sleep a lot, and others sleep little.  We are talking about two extremes, which we call: sleeping like a log and insomnia.  

For start, I am going to explain these words. When we say sleeping like a log is a person who sleeps without waking up during all the sleep. There could be an earthquake or a music band playing and they would be still sleeping. How amazing! 

And following, when we talk about insomnia is a person who can't sleep many hours. They see all clock's hours at night due to anxiety or other facts that disturb sleep. This problem can be solved with medicines.

In conclusion, as I can see it, I don't sleep as I like. The majority of the days I sleep less than 8 hours, and sometimes when I go to bed earlier, I can't sleep. But I want to solve it.

Polyglots and Frontliners (COMMENT 7)

 What is a polyglot? A polyglot is a person who can understand texts and talk fluently in four or more languages, including his mother language. They are usually smart people or people who love travelling and discovering other cultures.

On the one hand, it is incredible can talk with people from other countries in their mother language without any help. Talking different languages is more and more essential because we are living in a world that is always moving. We can't stop, for work or enjoyment, we are traveling and meeting new people.

On the other hand, it isn't easy.  You must be revising them every week because you tend to forget them if you don't use them. It is not like riding a bike or swimming. If you do not use them, they will leave you.  And keeping a good level in all of them must be harder and harder.

As I see it, learning new languages is very important, and for this, I am learning English and French. In the future, I want to learn another language like German.

Year of challenges (COMMENT 6)

Challenges are around us every time. Overcoming them makes us stronger and helps us with future similar situations. For some people, their challenges are to get money, to buy a new home or a car. However, for other people is to fight an illness.

   

Around all of Spain, people have had a big challenge due to the COVID-19. Nevertheless, currently, we have other problems. There were snowfalls in most of the cities. It has shattered some infrastructures. And, I must add, the last earthquakes in the province of Granada. They have destroyed houses and buildings, too. Yet, it has affected the mental health of the people, as well.

Nowadays, my challenges are to get my French and English B1 and to pass the first year of Bachillerato. And of course, I wish both my acquaintances and I would have health.

In conclusion, challenges are present, but it depends on us how we choose to face them. I guess good humour and joy will always be better than being sad or pessimistic.

For our own good (COMMENT 5)

The coronavirus has changed our lives since last year. Many people are infected. Now, we are at the third wave. The third and the second wave are overpassing the amount of people affected by the first wave. Today, in Andalusia, we have reached the highest number of people dead in all the pandemic.

I want to share my experience with you. My mother works as a home help assistant. The person she is assisting, who is around 90 years old, was infected, but fortunately, she didn’t get symptoms. Unlike my mother, she got infected. Last Friday, she was afraid, and she decided to go to had done a PCR. She was tested negative.

Yesterday, I was determined to go to high school. But first, my mother decided to have another PCR done. I was waiting in Salobreña inside my car when my father came, to tell me that my mother had tested positive. All my world got down because this afternoon I had my exams at the Official Language School. I could do them via the Internet. I must be at house for ten days.

In my opinion, there are people that for their job must be careful, but sometimes we can’t avoid them. On the other hand, some people prefer not to follow the precautions or the rules.
