The Amazon jungle is one of the most important jungles for our planet. And it’s considered as the lung of the world. Why is it considered a lung?, the Amazon jungle absorbs millions of tons of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. By decreasing the global amount of this gas that affects the planet, it contributes to stop climate change. Why is it important for the planet?, this forest is important to ensure the stability of the global climate, and permit for the regulation of rainfall by continuously maintaining and enabling the water cycle. Unfortunately, in August last year, the Amazon jungle suffered many fires. It’s origin was the problem of deforestation by Brazilian politicians, who want large areas for the cattle. With the arrival of Bolsonaro, deforestation has increased and has increased by 273%. Finally, in my opinion we should take more care of nature, we must be aware that without it we can’t live. Nature is a key to better living. 

Fortunately, the hunting of the wild wolf is going to be banned, this wish was what Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente wanted to get. The wild wolf is one of the key species for the ecosystem. Many years ago, this animal was on the edge of extinction, and many people have claimed its protection for years, and fortunately they have succeeded. Who was Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente? This great man was born in 1928 in Poza de la Sal (Burgos). During the Civil War, he was educated at home and spent much time outdoors where he developed a deep passion for the natural world. He made several successful documentary films and this allowed him to study in profundity the behavior of wolves, coming to live with a herd. From 1974 he did his project “Man and Earth”. On March 14, 1980, while filming an episode of this series, the plane in which he was travelling crashed and died. Finally, the wolf should not be hunted because it is an animal that xbalances our ecosystems. I am very happy to know that it will...

The novel "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" was written by Mark Twain and was published between 1876 and 1878. It’s a very entertaining novel.

Spring is one of my favourites seasons of the year, because all is cheerful, although there are some days   when the weather is bad. During the Spring there are many changes of time, when I go to school the mornings are cold, and during the  rest of the day it is already a nice heat. In addition, in this season the days are longer and there is more light,  which makes us want to do outdoor activities; like meeting our friends. What’s so special about spring? In this season everything is very colorful and the flowers start to bloom.  In addition, it is so special that it gives way to summer, a season in which the weather is better  and we do not need to wear coats. In conclusion, as I said before, Spring is one of my favorite seasons of the year, because  my mood changes. 

 This is my   book project. https://www.canva.com/design/DAEaVBOSQHQ/cEwIylJiwYD8dl68beb5jw/view?utm_content=DAEaVBOSQHQ&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink

  GRANADA FC, our local heroes!!! Granada CF is doing an extraordinary season and has won quite important matches. In addition, in the King’s Cup   they nearly beat FC Barcelona. Although this team doesn’t have as much money as Real Madrid or the Atlético Madrid, they have proven in these two seasons to be a great team. Recently Granada CF turned 90 and received the Medal of Andalucía. This team won more in the 70’s, when they were a “scary team”. I love football, sometimes I watch some matches. My favourite team is Real Madrid, I like more sports for example, handball, swimming, but don’t practice any of these sports. In my opinion, Granada CF deserves to win the Europe League, because it has proven to be a big team despite the circumstances. I want them to beat Manchester United, Granada CF is an example of struggle. 

Personal goals are one thing we have to set ourselves to achieve our goals. If we don’t set them, one day we will ask. What important things have I achieved?, What would I have liked to have tried? The personal goal I propose to achieve is to pass English and I hope I can achieve it. Another goal I set was to practise sports.  Every year we propose goals so that we can move for a future. The goals start with small steps in our day-today lives and we lead us to achieve our desires. Finally, I think the most valuable thing to set a goal is not to achieve the ultimate goal, but to enjoy during effort and learning. 

The fire in the Alpujarra of Granada was stabilized yesterday at nine in the morning. The firefighters were working all night to put it out.  The wind was a big complication for firefighters. The fire started on Wednesday at two o'clock in the afternoon. They deployed to Bubion, on hundred and ten people and six autobombs. The fire has burned land of high tourist value, in the Sierra Nevada National Park. Forest fire are a threat in the summer. At this period the temperatures are very high and it interacts more with the environment. It is very important not to throw rubbish into the forest or anywhere else. Finally, we have to avoid fires because they are very dangerous to the environment. We must all be aware that we must not contaminate the forests. 

Unfortunately, not a good time for live music Unfortunately this situation has stopped us from going to concerts or football stadiums ,  etc. But we have to understand that we have to be cautious of the virus, until they find the vaccine. Many singers have not been able to celebrate their concerts and have lost  a lot of money. In addition, people working in tourism have been affected by this situation. People from other countries do not travel because there are many restrictions in their countries and because they are scared. Football , basketball teams... are also suffering economically   because people don’t go to. I think if we keep ignoring the laws, The virus will never disappear and many people will die. Finally, in Spain the outbreaks are increasing because people have forgotten about the virus and they keep celebrating parties and not respecting security measures putting the people around them at risk.

In Spain there are many outbreaks because the mask is not used. People are not aware that this virus will not go away if we do not fight together. Great part of the population does not know the importance of this protection. The mask stops the expansion of the virus, it should be obligatory around the world. In the United States there is a very high death rate, because people are not aware that wearing the mask helps protect yourself and the others. I think the big problem is that the United States government should have taken more serious measures and also the shortage of coordination among the fifty states. Finally, in order to confront this situation together, we have to use the mask, we have to make ourselves aware that this virus has not gone away and that it is still there.

UBI - Universal Basic Income is demanded! This pandemic is causing a lot of human losses. Also, many people have lost their jobs, have closed establishments, for example bars, restaurants, shops.This pandemic has had a great impact on the world economy, which is why a universal basic income is needed to help people who need it most. A Universal basic income is a form of social security system in which all citizens or residents of the country receive amount of money and unconditional. There are several countries where they have proposed it, but unfortunately I have not given results. The advantages of the UBI is that it allows to immediately solve the most basic needs of part of the population, and also seeks to prevent a crisis as disastrous as that of 2008. Finally, I think that the solution would be universal basic income, because people would be safer and calmer, and this would also reduce the impact on the econom y.

FATAL COMBINATION: Teleworking and no sport  (QUARANTINE: DAY 46) Teleworking benefits some businesses. For the workers it is better because they do not have to go to their jobs and they also save the displacement. This system is better because there is no danger of getting infected. Teleworking also has its disadvantages, being connected every day hurts the head, eyes, hands and also when sitting hurts the back. A few days ago we could not go out, now that the de-escalation plan has been approved in Spain we can go out to the street to play sports or to go for a    walk at a certain time, more to being able to go out to the street and play sports help us forget a little about the situation we are living. I think that teleworking is very complicated for many businesses and also for students and teachers. For example, teachers find it quite difficult to teach and so do students.

An informal letter Everyone should learn a foreign language at school for example English. I will give arguments against and for about this topic. The advantage of learning English is that we can travel to many places, we can communicate with other people, we can make friends, we can also get work, which will help us to get a good position. It will also help us to have a better education and we will also be able to learn about new cultures. For these reasons it is good to learn English. There are people who say it's not necessary to learn English because in some jobs you don't need the language. There are students who prefer to learn other languages because they are more interesting. Furthermore, there are people who go on holiday and don't use the local language. In conclusion, in my opinion, we must learn to speak English because it can be useful for many things and we can have advantages and disadvantages, but it is necessary to speak the language ...

REVIEW ''Harry Potter'' FILM SERIES        My favourite film series is Harry Potter. This film series is about an orphan boy who discovers      he’s a magician. In the first film released in 2001, Harry enters the Hogwarts School of Magic and Sorcery and where he know his two friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, with whom he goes through different situations, and in some they face Lord Voldemort or his death eaters.  This film series has 7 movies and the last one is divided into two parts. What I like most are the special effects, the soundtrack and the performances of the actors. The protagonist is Daniel Radcliffe and there are also other actors, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. These actors are my favorites because without each of them the movies would be meaningless. My opinion of these film series is that they are very funny and very exciting, because in each film there are very interesting things and ...
