The future of humanity in our hands

 Comment 19

Nowadays we are in quarantine, and we don´t go to the school and we can´t even go out for a walk, or to meet my friends, and we must stay all day at home, doing homework that the teachers send us.

I am trying to do all the things that I should do if we were in class, I´m doing the exercises, and I´m trying to study all the subjects. Doing all the exercises at home isn´t easy, because there isn´t anyone to teach us how to do these exercises, but luckily we have the e-mail of some teachers and we can ask them if we have any question.

As they say, we have the future in our hands, and for this reason we mustn´t to go out, because if we go out, more people will get infectedand they don´t want to have many infected people in hospitals because they haven´t enough beds for everybody.

This isn´t the first pandemic of the history, for example in the 1918 there was the pandemic of the Spanish Flu, and as this pandemic the people could see the growth of the illness, but they didn´t take measures about this illness and it transformed in a pandemic.

In my opinion, the only thing that we can do is stay in our homes, and listen to the doctors and pay attention to the doctors and everything will be fine

Covid-19 strikes St Patrick's festivities!!!

Comment 18

St. Patrick day is a celebration that is celebrated on 17th March, and it is most popular celebration  in Ireland. The most important symbol of this celebration is the shamrock.

I know about this celebration when my sister went to Dublin in 2016, she went on the English study school trip. Before I hadn´t heard anything about this celebration. When she returned from Dublin she brought some souvenir and all of them have a shamrock with them. I didn´t know why they all had a shamrock and I asked her, and she told me that shamrock is the national symbol of Ireland and, of course, of Dublin.

This celebration is celebrated all the years, but this year it has been cancelled because of COVID-19, as many other celebrations as the Fallas of Valencia, or for the example the E3, the bigger conference of videogames in the world that  is celebrated in Los Angeles.

In my opinion, cancelling all these celebrations was the only thing that they could do, if we didn´t want to have more infected people and for this reason it had to be cancelled.

Helicopter parenting: I'M WATCHING YOU!!!

Comment 17

In our days privacy isn´t the same as before, before the people didn´t know when you went to a place, or when you did something, but now you put all your information in the social network, for example when you go on holiday to the beach you put some photos of you in the beach in social networks like Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, and we even arrive a to such a level that we even upload photos of the food we eat and there are people that are obsessed with take a photo of all the food that they get.

I think that it can be good that we are watched, but in some societies like China they have cameras in their streets. All this means that people lose their privacy because there is always someone watching you what you are doing in the street with a camera. I don´t  agree with this thing, because I think that we need some privacy policy.

Would you go on a trip around the world?

Comment 16

I have never travelled to another country in my whole life, but I think that travelling must be fantastic because it can help you, for example,to relax, to forget all the problems of the day by day. You can also learn about other cultures like the Asian culture.

As I have just written, I haven´t been to any other country, and I think that is for this reason that I don´t like travelling at all. I think that it must be very tiring, and you need a lot of money. Besides you need to be able to speak other languages, at least you must be able to speak English because it is the most recognised lenguage in the world. However, it is not the most spoken language

In the future I will  go to some countries, but the country that I would  most like to go is Japan, because I think that they have a very interesting culture and some landscapes are very beautiful. As well, I would visit some Japanese cities like Okinawa, Kyoto and Akihabara.

I don´t have an opinion about all these issues because I have never travelled in my life, but in the future I want to travel more.

2020, a leap year

Comment 15 

A leap year is a year like this year, we have one day more in February, having for this reason 366 days, not 365 like any other ordinary year. A leap year happens every 4 years, and as the Earth take 365 days and 6 hours, each fourth year we add 6 hours resulting into a total addiction of 24 hours, making this day added in February.

Nowadays it is an  averange day that we make the same thing as the other days, but in the past they think that this day was a bad luck day and this resulted into the fact that everybody considered this kind of years very unlucky.

In my opinion, nowadays it is the same if we have one more day or if we have a day less, because in our society we are used to doing the same thing. We think that we need to celebrate this day, because I think that it is a special day that only takes place each 4 years.

Love? It is just a matter of choosing the right partner.

St. Valentine's day is on 14th February and it is known as the day of the lovers. And for this reason some people know February as the month of love.
For me St Valentine's day isn't a special day because nowadays I don't have a partner and for the moment I am not interested in having one, because I think that in the future I will have time to have one.
On St. Valentine's day couples give each other flowers like roses and carnations, and other types of presents like chocolate and in some cases they give each other a teddy bear with a sentence of love.
In my case my favourite plant is cactus ,I don't know the reason, but it has been my favourite plant since I was a child and I have some cactuses in my house.
In my secondary school some girls of my class set up a stand where they sold roses, carnations and if you wanted you could send a letter to the person who you like and they went to give the letter to this person.
In my opinion this is a celebration that you can do if you are really in love with a person or if you have a partner.
