My dream Tomorrowland



My dream is to go one day to Tomorrowland.
It's a big music festival were 250 thousand people go. The best DJ of all over the world go there. It's like another planet. It is a 3 day festival, from 9 a.m. in the morning to 12 p.m at night, wonderful!

If I go I would sleep there in the Dreamville,it is a vobrant city that wecomes 35 thousand festival visitors after an exuberant day at Tomorrowland. Apart from everything you could expect from a decent festival camping, DreamVille has got some unique features. They have a marketplace with multiple shops, ranging from a tera house to a fresh bakery, several community centers, wonderful activations and even their very own warming up party called "The Gathering"

The problem is that only 1 of every 8 persons that want to go get a ticket... So much people!

It would be a really nice expirience and a beatiful party! I hope I can go there soon with my friends and enjoy it!!!!:)

Thousands of Protesters in Ukraine Demand Leader’s Resignation


Kiev, Ukraine. More than 100,000 people took to the streets of Kiev on Sunday, and thousands more rallied in other cities across Ukraine, to demand the resignation of President Viktor F. Yanukovich, the largest outpouring of fury so far over his refusal to sign far-reaching political and trade accords with the European Union.

Speakers at the rally in Kiev said that protests, now in their 11th day, would continue until Mr. Yanukovich was toppled and new elections were called.

Comment; Well, the demonstrations are becouse it are two different politic ideas the opposition (demostraitors) tending more to the democratic part (EU) to have more freedom ans the other part, the goverment, is more like Russia (dictatorship) and more communistic. Russia threatens Ukraine if they're politic direction is to far to the EU that they don't give them any more gas.
I think it is a good way to make demonstration if they are peacful without violence.

Thai Protests Enter Volatile New Phase After Fatal Shootings


Bangkok, Thailand’s week of antigovernment demonstrations entered a dangerous and volatile phase on Sunday after shootings involving rival political camps left at least four people dead and more than 50 wounded.

Many areas of Bangkok, the sprawling metropolis that is a major hub of commerce and travel in Southeast Asia, remained unaffected by the demonstrations. But the shootings and the increasingly provocative moves by protesters spread fears that unrest could move beyond the pockets of the capital where protests, and violence have raged.

Comment; We don't need violence to show what we think about different things. In this case you can make antigoverment demonstrations but peacful not with violence. Shooting are not a solution to politic problems, needer kill people. We can put the example of Catalonia they target to reach but they do it on a peacful way. My conclusion about this is that we have much means to reach our target but not the violence

Tennis

I'm going to write about my hobby.
My hobby is play tennis. I began playing tennis when I was eight years old. I like this sport pretty much because it's a individual sport so if I make a failure I am angry on my own, and in a team I would be angry on other people if they make a fault. I only have the responsability for myself.

I have played much tournaments in this years, the further tournament that I have played was in Valladolid when I was 14 years old. 

I had a injury in 2011 on my shoulder, I had to stop playing tennis one year, that was really hard.

Currently I play in Figueres and this sports helps me to vent myself after school and stress with the homework. But is is also difficuld to play tennis and do 2nd of batxillerat because I go training 2 hours 3 times a week and on the weekends I play matches.

Short on Space, Taiwan Embraces a Boom in Recycling


TAIPEI, Taiwan — Twenty-five miles west of here on Taiwan’s rugged northwest coast, a cavernous warehouse under construction represents the new priorities for an island where the streets were once littered with piles of discarded electronics and other refuse.

At the clean and tidy construction site, building materials are stacked neatly and even workers’ cigarette butts are carefully collected. The surroundings are designed to evoke a Roman villa, with lagoon, garden and canopies. The energy-saving shade tiles are made out of old CDs, DVDs and computer motherboards.

Comment; It's a good idea to have a clean country. I think it's nice too see how de countries develop new ideas to have a clean country. Overcoat if it's a country with much industrial activity, like this the people from there can live helthier. Do so big infraestructures are important to develop all the country and to have more employed people, so it must help everybodyy!!!

4 Dead in Metro-North Train Derailment in the Bronx(NY)

At least four people were killed after a Metro-North Railroad train derailed Sunday morning in the Bronx along the Hudson River. A total of 67 people were injured, 11 critically. The derailment occurred when several cars of a train headed south from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., left the tracks about 7:20 a.m. near the Spuyten Duyvil station under the Henry Hudson Bridge on the Hudson Line. They are not sure what caused the derailment.

Comment; Well, it has impacted me very much, in the last few month there was more than one train derailment. Here in spain one that was really sad because much people died. I don't know how tis can happen with the high tecnology that we have got, here in Spain the fault was from the driver, I hope this time not, because the driver, if he survived has to live with the awarness that he has killed much people. 

*New words that I didn't knew: awarness, several cars.

How much do social networks influence our lives?

The importance of social networks has improved very much in the last 10 years. We need them to talk with friends, sometimes teachers, to share our expiriences and much more things, but does is affect our lives? That's what I'm going go talk about. 
In my opinion, we are addicted to the social networks. If you think about what you would do without facebook? Impossible!
It was a really good inventions but only for people who can control how much it's used. If you use it too much, like use at school in the classroom then it will have bad consequences. We need to use it but in moderation. 
I know people who can't be one hour without watchin on their phones i f someone has talked to him or if there is some recent news. 
Twitter, is another very famous social network, it has got 100 million users, one of them me. We use it also in class to share information from the topic we are talking about, really good application.

The number of long-term unemployed tripled in five years in Catalonia

The number of long-term unemployed in Catalonia has tripled in the last five years, widely affecting all groups, whether men or women, regardless of their educational level. 
So warns the Council of Economic and Social Work of Catalonia (CTESC), which analyzed data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS).
During this period, the number of unemployed persons has increased considerably, from just over 250,000 were unemployed in 2005 to 290,000 in 2008 and 870,000 at the beggining of 2013.

Comment; We are now in the worst period of the crisis, that is why I think the the number of unemployed persons has increased so fast. In my case, I leave Spain next year and I go to Germany because there currenly, is a much better economic situation than here in Catalonia and all Spain, and I have more future expectations.

*I needed to translate some diffucult words like: Council, Labour Force Survey.
