MY RESEARCH PROJECT

Hello Lupita, I'm written this letter to explain how I would like to organize my research prject about Rucmaflac, an extinct animal.
Firts of all I would like to start with an introduction explaining why I chose Rucmaflac to make my research project and also I would explain what is this animal and where he lived. I don't know if I should explain the caracteristics of his habitat.
I would continue explaining his physical features and his skills.
Plus, I would make a list counting his enemys and what is his diet.
Finally I would finish the project with a conculsion where I would make a summary of the project and also I would explain how the project gone.

I will waite for your answer.

Human rights

Can we make Human Rights more relevant in the world today (with the help of social networks)?

In the past many nations in the world signed the Human Rights document, a statement with some articles that describes the basic human rights, without discrimination of race, gender, religious, political trends...
Nowadays,there're a lot of countries that don’t accomplish these rights, normally most of them are under a dictatorial system.
Social networks are very important, because it’s a world wide web , but often don't arrive to everybody because in that kind of countries they don't have internet, or there are prohibited webs.
I think we can make presure to our governments and International Community with the social network writing articles and asking what they do and pressure them to finish the economic relationships with the countries that don’t respect the Human Rights.




OPINION 5

CATALONIA

Hi everybody, my name is Maria and I'm an Erasmus student from Catalonia. As you know, Barcelona is the most famous city of my country, and also it's the capital of my community.
I love the huge diversity that catalonia has, there you can find diferent cultures and langages, so don't worry if you don't konw spanish or english because there you can speak german, chinese in some places,... Catalan is the second official language in catalonia, and it has diferent accents depending on where you live(valencia, balears, north of catalonia,...).
In my point of view, Catalonia is the best gastornomy destination in the world, because We have the mediterranean diet, a very varied diet. There is the best restaurant in the world, El Celler de can Roca!
We have many tranditions, for example we dance sardanes, and on Christmas we caguem el tio, a strange tradition where you have to hit a pice of wood with a stick.
I think it's a very special country with a lot of traditions and cultures with a reallt nice landscapes I recomended you to go. For example you could go to cadaques or Llença, where you can enjoy with a walk in the mountain or swim in the beach.

OPINION 3

THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

As you know the principal consequence of pollution are climate change, and because of climate change temperature has increased. Thanks to this increase of temperature, the poles are melting and its effects can be catastrophic. Can you imagine it? 
For example, in my country, the sky has a strange orange color and the air you breath is heavy and suppressive as well because of the Spanish's industry.  Although I live in a small town and there are not a lot of pollution, I realize that this year was very hot by reason of climate change. 
We have to take all measures to stop this horrible effects of climate change on the planet as soon as possible. 

OPINION 2

-Imagine you have a toxic friend that is ruining your life. Write a letter to him/her explaining the problem and proposing solutions to re-establish your mutual confidence.

OPINION

-Write an opinion essay about how the use of the internet has changed our lives.

THE INTERENET

Nowadays the internet is an important part of our life, and I am pretty sure we wouldn't be able to live without the internet.

the first computer's prototype born in the second world war thanks to Alan Turin, and after its creation, the world lived an innovation's revolution.

I think that the internet born in the 90' and since this miracle, our way of doing things has changed. For example, our ways of socializing are different now, we can have a date with an unknown person thanks to webs like Tinder or darling. 
Plus the internet can help students with their projects. There are people that have a job as a result of the internet, and also every day is more usual to see people working from home on the internet.
The internet is increasing the globalization, an unfavorable thing in my point of view. An another dangerous situation about the internet is that everybody is able to know everything about you.

In conclusion, the internet has provided us with big advantages and disadvantages, and without this enormous network, our lives would be differents.

This Thursday Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano,has been active sending up plumes of glowing red lava and ash that could be seen for miles from its peaks in Silicy.
There are people who was there during the erupts and were injured.

An unnamed volcanologist said that Edna explosion was the “most dangerous incident experience in his 30-year career.” 

PERSONAL OPINION:it would be terrifying being in one of these situations, personally, my worst fear is die burned, so it would be a real nightmare being there. I think that there were a terrible organization because there were woundeds and nowadays is easy known when a volcano will erupt.

(Images of the eruption were also captured from space) 

NEW

Great Barrier Reef can only survive if global warming is curbed, scientists warn (The independent)


The new says that if we don't stop global warming Australia's Great Barrier Reef will disappear. The consequence of global warming is the increase of temperature and this cause the bleaching of corals (corals have the capacity to recover their life is are exposed to cooler water). Although bleaching episodes have happened before, this latest one is the most damaging. The new says that the most important coral bleaching happened in 1998, 2002 and 2016.
A research showed that in one area near to Cairns, up to 83% of the coral reef has died. Just a 9% of the reef has avoided the bleaching since 1998. 
David Wachenfeld, a member of the authority said that "In total, those extreme weather events and the overall impact of climate change is a major threat to the future of the reef.".
PERSONAL OPINION: We have to stop global warming because not only affect the coral reefs, also all the biodiversity, including humans. We should find the way to reduce pollutant emissions and become more aware about pollution and it's consequences.

99-million-year-old mushrooms found perfectly preserved in Burmese amber (The independent) 


The new says that some researchers discovered mushrooms' fossils with an age of 99 million of years in a museum collection in china (only a million years earlier than the oldest amber mushroom ever found). Also they found beetles' fossils encased in amber that are 125 million years old.
The researchers said that they were impressed about that good preserved and also about the similarity with modern mushrooms.
The journal Nature Communications said that “The discovery of four mushroom forms, most with a complete intact cap containing distinct gills and a stalk, suggests evolutionary stasis of body form for 99 million years.”
Also they say that in Scotland and Sweden some researchers found a fungus that are 440 million years old. 
The new ends saying that the mouthparts of beetles' fossils match those of modern beetles and indicate that they ate mushrooms. 
PERSONAL OPINION
I found these new very interesting because I think it's incredible how nowadays we can find species with millions and millions of years old and besides that, is unbelievable in the good conservation which researchers find this fossils.

TASK- soulmate

DESCRIBE YOUR SOULMATE

Although I don't believe in soulmates, my perfect partner in life would be something like that:
-Inteligent, for talk about important and interesting things. To don't have bored conversations. 
-Sporting and relaxed, a person who likes sport and that at the same time loves the couch.
-Someone who loves series and could been hours and hours watching TV series.
-Someone who loves parties, but not discos, just town parties. Because I hate the atmosphere that discos have.  
-And someone who understands me. For example, I hate when people asks what is happening to me or when they upset me when I'm sad or serious.
-Someone with a degree or job. 
-And attractive. Althought for me the appearance isn't more important than the other characteristics already mentioned. In conclusion I prefer a cultured and social person who can understand me than an attractive person.
-Someone who could complete me.


Research

WOULD YOU FORGIVE YOUR PARTNER IF THEY CHEATED ON YOU?
I think I would be able to forgive my partner if he cheated on me. The other question is if I could keep on the realation after he cheated on me. I would keep on the relation just depending on the situation.
For example if he cheated on me because he was druk I would forgive him and I would continue with the realation, but if he cheated on me because he's bored about our relation, I would forgive him but I wouldn't keep the realtion with him.
Basically I'm able to forgive everybody but not to continue with the relation with the person who cheated on me.

Also, all of I said are my believes, because I don't have any experience and maybe I could hurt a person if these cheated on me

Another question that I have is: Have you ever wondered why do we love? And my answer is an another question: why do we believe in God? I think that both of them, love and God, are basic needs for humans even if we don't believe in them. We hate solitude so we build communities to preserve our specie, and reproduction induces us to love. This is my point of view about love, althought It seems that I don't like love, or that I have a cold view about it, I know that love are very important and that is very powerful!

And I have a finally question that says: Can your partner truly make you happy? YES, of course He/She can! It doesn't stop being someone that you chose because you like it. Plus, as all of us know, love are just chemical reactions, and maybe this reactions makes us happy, so yes, your partner can make you happy.

Series of the month

SERIES OF THE MONTH

This month I started a new series called Suits. It's an american series about the life of Mike Ross, a brilliant young with photographic memory who running from a drug deal gone bad he ends in a job interview with one of the New York city's best law firm. Mike Ross ends being the associated of one of the best lawyers of New York, Harvey Specter, and all of this without having the degree. 

My personal opinion
I really like this series. It’s very entertaining, funny and when you’re watching it the time just flies. My favourite part about the series is when they speak about laws, I don’t know why but I love the capacity of the characters to say all they say and with the speed they do it. And I don't like the romantic parts of the series. I recommended this series to everybody.

Technology

CAN TECHNOLOGY SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS?
Right now technology it's one of the most important things. We live with technology and for the majority of persons it would be impossible live without the new technology, like phone or computers.
I think people believe that we use technology only to improve our life, not only in the cotidian life but also in the medical field.
But can technology really solve our problems? Maybe, but I don't know, because to solve big problem first we have to improve our technology, and also we have to decide which problems are big.
Since technology was born we have solved some medical problems for example, so yes, I think that technology can solve our problems.
But I don't know how we can solve this problems with technology, and I think that this is the principal problem, that we don't know how to do it!

TDR PRESENTATION 
The last term We presented our research project. I remembered that I was very nervous but when I started the presentation I was calm.
When I finished the presentation I thought that then I could deleted the work but now I understand that the worst part about the research project is not the projects, is all its concequences. For example all the works you have to do about the project, like another presentation of the project in english, or make writings about our experience and summarys.
It was a difficul month but I think that now I can say that the research work it's finally close!
