THE BEST SUMMER I’VE EVER HAD !!!

 THE BEST SUMMER I’VE EVER HAD (by Patricia A.)

 

Last March, Covid-19 came into our lives and absolutely everything changed. 
After the quarantine no one was excited about summer as it seemed 
boring and unexciting. Nevertheless, it was not like we thought it would.

 

Firstly, I started my summer going everyday to an activity program to exercise. 
We played lots of sports, such as badminton, cycling, volleyball or table tennis.
 It was so enjoyable due to the fact that I was doing that with friends and 
we really had a good time laughing and training. Moreover, in July I went to 
my house at the beach, in Roda de Bàra, Tarragona. Every morning we woke up, 
had breakfast and put our swimsuits on and went to the beach. Besides, every night 
I went out with my cousin and we met new people, but always wearing masks
 and keeping distance. They were two fantastic and relaxing weeks. However, 
the best part of my summer was in August when I went to my village, Casasana. 
It’s a very small town in Guadalajara, but I really love it. I was always outside and
 I only returned home to lunch, dinner and sleep. I have lots of friends there, 
both younger and older. We hung out playing cards and fooling around. I was 
also taught to play Poker and I actually love it!

 

It was a really incredible summer, despite the Covid situation. If someone
 had told me that Summer 2020 was going to be the best I’ve ever had, I 
wouldn’t have believed it.

MY GRANDMOTHER, MY REFERENCE PERSON

 

My grandmother, my reference person. (by P.N.)

What could be more wonderful than having a reference person in your life?

My grandmother was born in 1944, she got married and had three sons and three daughters.  As she lived under laws of Francisco Franco, her behaviour in all aspects of her life has been very influenced by the closed mentality of dictatorship. She always says to me that creating a family was all that her relatives expected from her. Despite of that fact, she always imagines how different her life would have been if she had lived her youth nowadays: she could have had an independent life, have worn clothes she liked, have travelled to many places and have said what she thought without fear of reprisals; in short, she would like to be the only owner of her own life. She admires the role of women in the world today and she learns and opens her mind each day. Nevertheless, she´s very grateful for having had love and health throughout her whole life and she feels happy to see us grow up as healthy, strong and good people. She's the most comprehensive, empathetic, close and friendly person I know.  

In conclusion, I adore my grandmother, it is said that all depends on perspective: the glasses with which we see reality and she has several spare glasses in order to put herself in each other's shoes and help them. She’s a wonderful woman.

GENETIC ENGINEERING

 GENETIC ENGINEERING ( BY C. BAREA)

Although I’m not a scientist, I think that genetic engineering, like many other things that affect people and their improvement and well-being, has pros and cons.

On the one hand, by modifying the genes, crops -corn or tomatoes for example- are actually more productive and resistant to disease, but on the other hand, vegetables, and animals as well, seem tothat have less nutritional value than unmodified natural products. Furthermore, this kind of food can help to reduce hunger in the world, but, at the same time they can make certain viruses and bacteria stronger and more dangerous for people.

BESIDES, These products have arrived into our lives to stay with us. However, in my opinion, when engineering genetic concerns the human being, whether with the development of drugs or clinical therapies, very important ethical aspects rise. So, some people even believe that these advances are like playing.No one should decide how smart a child should be or not even his eyes colour. It’s very difficult to put limits on what we can do or not do, and, even more, when private industries could use it to increase their profits instead of improving people’s health.

In conclusion, genetic engineering obviously has advantages and benefits, but also big risks if we don’t use it ethically.

DARK FUTURE IN 2050

 

DARK FUTURE IN 2050, IF HUMANITY DOESN’T LEARN

TO RESPECT


To begin, I think we would be in time to change this dark future if people were able to understand the importance of climate change in our lives. In addition, we have to sum up this challenge, the pandemic and the economic crisis that we are suffering and that will stand with us for a lot of years. 


First of all, a very important point, is we need to learn to live with nature without destroying it. Our planet is our home, and we are filling our home with rubbish. For human beings, money is more important than nature, for this reason, leaders of many parts of the world, don’t doubt if they have to destroy priceless environments like Amazonas or if they have to waste Africa's material resources. For all this uncontrolled development we are ending with irreplaceable natural resources such as petroleum. Secondly, if people don’t learn to respect the norms, we will spend much more  time and economic resources, even more lives in the fight against COVID and the recuperation will be more difficult.


In conclusion, I think the keyword for a better future is respect: respect the environment, respect other forms of life, respect our planet and the norms. IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD RESPECT THE RULES.

HALLOWEEN STORY........

 ( BY CRISTINA RIVAS FROM 2 CIE) 

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A GIRL WHO HAD VISIONS. At first, she didn’t tell anyone but as time went by, she began to see horrible things, and moreover, she was starting to be afraid since all her visions came true.

 

Everything startedone Winter night when the 14 year-old girl was walking her dog near her house. She Heard sounds coming from the cemetery and as she liked to investigate she went there. The interesting thing was when she entered the cemetery, she saw headstones from graves open. At that very momento, she wanted to run away from that place but something didn’t let her do it. She was missing for three years, and when they finally found her, she could see what was going to happen to other people, through her inner visions. Of course, they were always scary things, she could see ghosts, souls and some voices telling her things inside her brain.

In the end, as timmed passed,she realized that visions only came true if she told them. Therefore, she couldn’t spend any longer with the visions kicking in her head and unfortunately, she decided to commit suicide.
