Donald Trump's Mexico wall: Who is going to pay for it?

President Donald Trump has set in motion his plan to build an "impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful, southern border wall" between the US and Mexico.

The border is about 1,900 miles (3,100 km) long and traverses all sorts of terrain. Mr Trump says his wall will cover 1,000 miles and natural obstacles will take care of the rest. But how much will it cost and who is going to foot the bill? 
When he was making the election campaign for be the president, he promised to the citizans that he will build a big wall to separte UE frome Mexico. I think he is an horrible person because mexico's poeple are normal people and he just want to separe this people because they are not white people. In my opinion I'll say he is a racism person and he wants out of his country all the pople that's not white, a lot of poeple is worried about that wall (I mean the poeple is going to be afected with this wall), but if they hadn't voted him as the president this wouldn't happened. 
I think that he is an horrible person too because he is separating  lot of families, children of they mums and if you do that you are a miserable person because every child need to grow with his/her mother. This wall will make things worst for a lot of animals because if we destroy they natural area they will have problems for live in general (the food, someweher to sleep...). So this wall can't be good for anyone except, of course, for this man.
 If now there are a lot of people following his ideas imagine the amount of poeple who wil follow him if he had a bigger heart.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN OUR PLANET REALLY SUPPORT?

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN OUR PLANET REALLY SUPPORT?

We often hear people citing overpopulation as the single biggest threat to the Earth. But can we really single out population growth in this way? Are there really too many people on our planet? It's clear that on the Earth there's so much space (and not to mention the resources that can support a human population) So a growing human population must pose some kind of a threat to the wellbeing of planet Earth, mustn't it? Not necessarily. As Gandhi said there is enough for everyone in the world, but not enough for everyone's greed, so if we think about this quote we can arribe that if we don't abuse of the world maybe we could have enough resources for everyone, but that's not how the Earth is going.The number of "modern human beings"  on Earth has been comparatively small until very recently. Just 10,000 years ago there might have been no more than a few million people on the planet. As it stands now, though, the world's population is over 7.3 billion. According to United Nations predictions it could reach 9.7 billion people by 2050, and over 11 billion by 2100. Population growth has been so fast that there is no real precedent we can turn to for evidence about the possible consequences. So a world with a human population of 11 billion might put comparatively little extra strain on our planet's resources. But the world is changing. The real concern would be if the people living in these areas decided to demand the lifestyles and consumption rates currently considered normal in high-income nations; something many would argue is only fair. If they do, the impact of urban population growth could be much larger. It is not the rise in population by itself that is the problem, but rather the even more fast rise in global consumption (which of course is unevenly distributed). By this reason there needs to be a fundamental change in the core values of developed societies: away from an emphasis on material wealth, and towards a model where individual and societal well-being are considered most important. Even if those changes finally occurred, it seems unlikely that our planet could really sustain a population of 11 billion. So they suggests that we should stabilise the global population, hopefully at around nine billion, and then begin a long, slow trend of decreasing population. That means reducing fertility rates.

What was agreed as part of the Paris climate deal?

What was agreed as part of the Paris climate deal?

The deal unites all the world's nations in a single agreement on tackling climate change for the first time in history. They think that coming to a consensus among nearly 200 countries on the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions is considered like "histoirc movement". The Kyoto Protocol set in 1997 a protocol that make other countries not to produce so many contamination but some countries like US didn't want to accept. However, cientist say that the Paris accord must be strengthened if it  have any change to stop the dangerous climate change. 

I think that it's such a positive deal, I mean it can only be favorable for the habitants of this different countries and nations and it's a new way to help the world and not to destroy them, because if we do't think about our plante now what will happened in the future? 
So I think it's a positive moment and if now we have the 




vocabulary (wordreference): 

- consensus (opinión general)

opinion essay

ADOPT INSTEAD OF BUY?

A lot of people says if you don't know how to love an animal, you will not know how to love a person, having a pet can make you a better person, can make you be more responsable, etc. But wait if you want a dog, it's better to buy or adopt?

First of all you have to think if you will be able to provide a good life to this new friend, he/she will be a new member of you family, after that you may think "and we have to buy or adopt"?
Adopt it's the best way you can complet your family and at the same time you give a better life to a dog, you can help this dog not be afraid of people or believe he/she can be happy in a new home, because there are a lot of dogs living at the streets and with a horrible life so it's a good way to change that and help one of this poor souls.

Buying a dog you just will pay a lot of money and you will promote that poeple can continue giving up their dogs and it's not good to let people do that, for this reason and because the seller will just recive money doing bad things.

Another reason to adopt instead of buy it's because if there is a dog that have been in an animal shelter for a lot of time most of the times they kill the dog.
Adopting  a dog you are doing an amazing work and the adopted dogs are the gratefulest dogs in this world.

protest songs

We have to coment one of the three protest songs, I chose the second one called "Talkin' bout a revolution" by Tracy Chapman.

Tracy Chapman is an American singer-songwritter known for some of her hits, she was born in Cleveland on March 30ty of 1964 and she is still alive. I choose this song because it's stile is so similar to a lot of songs I had sing and transmit a lot of diferents emotions. The lyrics of this song talk about what they feel and what a Revolution is about, it's hard to imagine that a lot of people was in that situation but right now, this days in Catalonia we have passsed and still passing days of revolution because we want things ans the governament don't let us, so it's a good protest song for this days.

SWISS ALPS JUNGFRAU-ALETSCH

THE SWISS ALPS JUNGFRAU-ALETSCH

The extension of the natural World Heritage property of Jungfrau - Aletsch - Bietschhorn (first inscribed in 2001), expands the site to the east and west, bringing its surface area up to 82,400 ha., up from 53,900. The site provides an outstanding example of the formation of the High Alps, including the most glaciated part of the mountain range and the largest glacier in Eurasia. It features a wide diversity of ecosystems, including successional stages due particularly to the retreat of glaciers resulting from climate change. The site is of outstanding universal value both for its beauty and for the wealth of information it contains about the formation of mountains and glaciers, as well as ongoing climate change. It is also invaluable in terms of the ecological and biological processes it illustrates, notably through plan succession. Its impressive landscape has played an important role in European art, literature, mountaineering and alpine tourism.

EXPERIENCES

One of my dreams was to go to London and last Febrary finally I could make it reality, so I went to London with my family and it was an amazing experience, We stayed there for three days and we visited all the famous places(M&M's world, London eye, Big Bang...). My family told me that we went there to improve my english so I was a kind of guide and translator and it was so funny!

Another of my dreams was to own a horse and aproximetly a year ago my granny bought me a horse. I learned a lot of things and I learned that if you want soimething you had to work hard and in this way you can reach it. 

When I was little I loved to do ice skateing, so every winter when the ice rink was in Girona all my family went there, so one year I was skateing but I was failling all the times and when it was time to go and had lunch I can't sat on the chair of the restaurant, that was an embarassing moment!

As I always said I want to do a sabatic year, but I know my parents won't let me do it, but it would be an amazing year, I will go to a lot of diferent countries to descober new tradicions, languages, food, culture, etc... and in this way I could learn how to take care of my self and see if I'm a resposable person.

I talked with my family and maybe we can go to Berlin next Febrary, it will be a good travel because we never had been there and I really love to travel and see new places.

If we can't go to Berlin we will go to Ireland, in this way I can finally meet my internet friend Sofia and descober the procedents of the Connemara pony one of my favourite horse breed.
