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.

sonnet 116 Shakespeare

116

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments, love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

O no, it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand'ring bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come,

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Translation: 

116

No posaré impediments a la unió
de ments lleials. L'amor no serà amor
si s'altera davant l'alteració
o el du, qui et deshonora, al deshonor.

No. Sempre és fix. Una marca constant
que mira a la tempesta i no s'atura.
És l'estrella de cada barca errant
que no té preu malgrat tenir una altura.

No és joc del temps l'amor, tot i el compàs
de la falç seva sobre llavi i front.
No s'altera l'amor pel pas fugaç
dels dies, ferm fins al final del món.

Si em demostren que estic equivocat,
jo mai he escrit ni mai ningú ha estimat.
