Internet empowers people to make a better world

Is Internet as good and helpful as people think?
Well, it has to be said that internet is a very powerful tool nowadays. It is a fast way of sending information, papers and anybody can be linked at any time.
However, according to my point of view, tere are a few companies and people behind this tool making money and profit of it. They can actually control us. They are pulling our leg.
Internet seems to be somewhere where anybody can say anithing. But, is it true? I belief not. And what's more, people tends to abuse of it and exagerate the information to the point that people spend most of their time in front of their computer.
We are wasting our time, loosing our lifein front of our screen and looking for just superflual and needless things. We are missing the good things of life and we won't be able to enjoy it as we should just using internet.

Internet didn't showed us how to run, or how to jump, or not even to love, but it has showed us how to lie. 

New: "The Hobbit: an unexpected journey" has made 1Billion $

It's official, the film "The Hobbit: An unnespected journey" sent out the last December has already made 1 billion dollars in the box office. The director Peter Jackson has already achieved glory. He did it once with the three films of "The Lord of the Rings" and he has succed again with the first part of his new trilogy of "The Hobbit".

"The Hobbit" is actually the first part of "The Lord of the Rings". We could say that Peter Jackson is now doing something simillar to George Lucas withs the saga of "Star Wars".  
It is the story of how a hobbit, a very traditional hobbit, can become someone very fearless and how he will help to the dwarves to get their kingdom back because a dragon (Smauk) has conquered it.

I belief that Peter Jackson has done a wonderful work and I have to admit that I was very surprised and amazed because my espectatives were quite poor. I am a great fan of "The Lord of the Rings" and I was afraid that "The Hobbit" wasn't up to par. Fortunatelly, it has become a real succes.

Peter Jackson has said that he is dreaming with the day that everyone will be able to have the three films of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" in one USB and that we will be able to watch the six films in 48hours.

The resolution of mathematical problems

My research project is a compilation of certain maths problems. Some of them where picked from the IMO (International MAthematical Olympiad) or others from other places like the Lowel Putnam or the Bachillerat Olympiad. 

In orther to solve them, the study of theorems and new formulaes  were required. The first part of the project is a compilation or glossary that gathers all the formulaes and theorems used.

The second part shows all the problems solved step by step. Each one has a reference to the formulaes used to the formulaes used to understand which one was used in each problem. 

R.Madrid defeats F.C.Barcelona

This Saturday the futbol team Real Madrid has defeated the F.C.Barcelona 2-1 in the Camp Nou Stadium. After 85 minutes playing the score still was 1-1(Benzema scored first and then Messi scored for the Barcelona so the match remained equalized again) but it hasn't been until the minute 86th when Segio Ramos, the captain, scored the third goal, the second for the white team. 

According to me, it has been a very poor match. The first part has been acceptable, both teams did a good performance and scored one goal each one.  But the second half was very boring. Every 10 seconds there was a player on the ground, both teams were doing faults and the referee had to take part in the match very often. He showed around 7 yellow cards and it became a dirty match. In the minute 86th the match got decided. 

But in the minute 92nd the Barcelona got a clear penalty that the referee didn't whistle and it has became a polemical action. Because of that the referee showed a red card to the F.C.Barcelona's goal kepper: Victor Valdès. 

Zara's New

Since 2011 Greenpeace is trying to eliminate hazardous chemicals from the supply chain of Zara. But it is just now that Zara has committed to get rid of those chemicals by the year 2020.
The Detox commitment is not just good for the environment (which it is also good); it is a breakthrough for the public's right to know what is going behind all these big factories and what secrets do they keep in the shadow.
In my opinion I think that Greenpeace is doing a great job. I think that the new society is killing the world with this policy of the consumism and I belive that we have to do something to preserve our world and do not murder it.

Hazardous: tòxic, perillòs

Committed: promés

Breakthrough: via, ruptura

My friend Joan

Joan is my best friend. He is from Barcelona and I only can meet him in summer holidays and sometimes in Christmas. I know him because of the tennnis. He used to play in my club few years ago. Now he is studying his second year in the Uniersity. He is one year older than me (he is nineteen years old), so sometimes I think about him as my old brother.
Joan isn't a tall guy but neither a short one we could say he has a standard heigh. He has black curly hair but he usually wears it quite short so you can't appreciate his affro style. He is brown-eyed and he has a characteristic big nose. Because of the sport he is quite broad shouldered.
Joan is a very open-minded person, he likes trying new things and he likes to challenge himself. He has some friends in England and he usually spends part of the summer somewhere in the island, near Manchester. He also is very hardworking and he is very sportif. I like to go running with him, he knows what to do to motivate me. He is extremely sociable, he gets on very well with all my friends here and they think that he is a very happy and amable guy.
In my opinion, Joan is not just a friend, is like a brother that knows how to deal with me and I kind of admire him. I really had great moments next to him and I hope that we will keep in touch even though we don't see each other very often.

My Dreams

Dear Sònia,

I actually wanted to tell you about my dreams, I don't know if you are very familiar with the dreams of other people but mine is this one:

I love tennis and any sport that it is individual such as running a marathon, a triathlon or even skiing, because it takes out of you the soul of the auto evaluation and you have to be very focused and hardworking to succeed in one of these sports. My dream would be to never give up in these competitions and be lucky to do not get injured. I don’t want to become professional, I only love doing sport and prove myself. Where can I go? Which are my limits? Those are the questions I need to answer and as long as I can keep doing sport, for my pleasure, I will be able to take out the frustration of my body and I will feel like a leaf in the air.

However, I would like to keep going with my studies so I can graduate with my friends of a career that I don’t know yet (I mean that I haven’t made a choice of what do I want to study).

So I have applied to get a schoolarship abroad in the United States, where I will be able to convalidate my tennis with the studies and I have a good new: The agency that will help me to get that schoolarship has told me that I have many possibilities to get one.

Thank you very much for listening to me and take care,
