DIGITAL ADDICTION, a REAL problem to solve

Comment 19

Today, technology is too present in our lives and it has advanced a lot. You can do everything with a computer, a tablet or a mobile phone from playing video games to buying things or taking photos. It is so good, but the problem comes when you abuse of the technology or when you give them a bad use, because you can have problems like insolation.
This people, who work in Silicon Valley, limit the use of the mobile phone or computer of their children because they know that it can produce a lot of illnesses, and they want that their children to use old ways of search information or to solve a problem.
In my opinion, mobile phones are so good it you don't give them a bad use and if you know when to stop using the mobile phone, but the kids don't know when stop using this technology because theirs brains aren't mature enough.

Shall we eat? Yes, but...

I'm not allergic to nuts or gluten. And I'm not a lactose intolerant, but I have relatives that are allergic and this is difficult because they mustn't eat some kinds of food.

Allergies are a set of responses of the immunologic system and in this case it appears when you eat the food you are allergic of.

For this reason you must be very careful when you eat some food if you have some allergics.

I'm very lucky because I don't have food allergies I have some allergies an  allergy to dust, and that's why I can eat all types of food.

Hi David, 

Thanks for the email with your news. My news is that I'm going camping with muy parents in Cáceres this summer! I'm going to start with my parents and my cousins. The idea is that we are going to stay there for five days. It's really exciting, but my problem is that I think that we have lost un the middle of the forest.

I've never been on a camping before, and the truth is I'm really worried about camping. I don't know what to do! 

I'm going to tell it to my mum. What do you think?

Bye, Francisco

How beautiful holidays! We've been to Tarragona for  three days and since we left Tarragona we  have driven 96 km, so we have already arrived at Barcelona. Here we had a bread and tomato at muy cousin's house. My favourite place that I visited was Sagrada Familia- what and incredible building! I've seen a lot of pictures of the Park  Güell so I was very excited, but we haven't seen it. What a dissapointment!

Yesterday we went to Gerona, where we stayed the night, and we didn't see anything. We've going to ser it tomorrow. How dissapointing!

Bye till tomorrow!

What really matters in life

Comment 17

Today loneliness and social insolation are very common, specially in people over the age of 75.
These people spend a lot of time without talking to a friend, neighbour or family member. They can feel insolated for many reasons, as the death of friends, bad health... These things could generate depression or other problems too.
Only in the UK there are more than 2 million people over the age of 75 who live alone.
These people should stay positive, keep in touch with family or go out with friends.

I think that we need to help these people staying with them and ,in my opinion, loneliness should never exist because it is an awful illness.

Speechless

Comment 16

In Spanish ''speechless'' means ''sin palabras''. This noun comes from the verb to speak if you add the suffix -less to the noun speech you've got the word 'speechless' which means unable to speak specially as the temporary result of shock or some strong emotion. A word similar to speechless is dumbstruck.
More examples of this style of suffix are careless, cheerless, endless, fearless, hopeless or painless.
I think that a lot of things can leave you speechless as visit to a museum, a song or an advance in technology.
One of the things that left me speechless was visiting the Prado Museum in Madrid. How beautiful!
