FINAL MARK: 8

I think my final mark in this presentation is a 8, it's for me a brilliant note, because I was creative, I knew what we had to tell and I think that the structure of Prezi was correct. I think I have practiced a lot of vocabulary and language that is the part that I haven't controled very well.

Off the three presentations that I have made this year I think the most emotive for me was the last one The poverty, because with my friends of the presentation we have organized very well and we also understand well that is the most important for a presentation.

DAY 3. LEÓN

This day we got much earlier than the other days, because we had to leave the hotel and go towards León. We breakfast quickly and rose in the room to did the suitcase and then we get on the bus which took us to the village where it were the natural spot of Las Médulas.

The bus stopped in a farmhouse, there we were a bit in the courtyard, because there were many animals such as turkeys, dogs, cats, chickens, hens, ducks, fishes..., with whom we had a pretty little bit, especially with the turkeys that were most extravagants and we were amused.

Then we went to lunch and after a while we were resting on a terrace next to the farmhouse. Then we went to the meeting point of Las Médulas and the guide explained us what is Las Medulas, how it created and what it was found. On leaving the information point we headed toward the route that had Las Médulas. I put suncream in the face, because the sun was burning me and we started walking. The rute was made of reddish clay falling to the rock that formed the natural spot and was very muddy, so you get the shoes dirty.

The route was quite long, but it was nice to look at the views and cliffs. After the tour we went up a bit of Las Médulas with bus, because it was a long walk to do. We arrived at the cave of the natural spot and we entered. It was a damp, dark and narrow cave where we also found some bats are hidden. When we left the cave we walked to the viewpoint and we could see the entire natural spot.

Upon arriving in León, we acommodated in the new hotel and we decided to have dinner together. In León is traditional to go to bars and eating tapas, and we do this.

After dinner we went to a pub and we stayed there dancing and singing the music played until the time exhausted and we went to the hotel.

PREZI AND VIDEOS OF POVERTY

DAY 2. BURGOS

The alarm clock was ringing. Was the 7o'clock in the morning and we rushed to get ready to go outside the hotel. First we took a shower and we wore in comfortable clothes. When was aproximatetly 8 o'clock we got off to the restaurant of hotel where we had breakfast. Then we went outside the hotel and we walked to a vantage point where we could see the entire city of Burgos. The sun was shining, but I felt cold. We were walking for a little while, but the road becomes increasingly uphill, and was difficult to walk, because the night before it had rained and the ground was quite muddy and full of ponds. When we arrived in the vantage point we took a group photo and we spend some time contemplating the landscape. Then we got off and we went to the "Museo de la Evolución Humana" of Burgos. We entered and the guide gave us and explanation of the various stages during the tour would go find the museum and we enter an exhibition of objects found during the excavations of the land.

After the exhibition we went to the village of Atapuerca where we had lunch, and then we walked to the sites of Atapuerca. We put a helmet and we did the tour of the sites. Here they explained the part of the land and how was divided. Then we went inside a small caves where you had crepting, because the cave had little depth. Then we went to the park of sites where we did some demonstrations of how they made fire, how they hunted animals, how they buried the dead people and how they painted the walls of the caves.

Finally we arrived at the hotel again, and we dressed to went to dinner at a restaurant for the first time without teachers. We decided to went a bar for watched the match between Barça and Atlético de Madrid, and we was dinner in that bar. After we had dinner we waited the girls, and we went into a pub where we had a great time dancing and laughing all the time. We returned to the hotel aproximately at 00:30 hours and I went to sleep, because It was a very heavy day.

DAY 1. BURGOS

I woke up quickly and nervous, because I had to be at 5:00 am in the high school where we waited for a bus that brought we to Burgos. I got on the bus and tried to slept, but I couldn't, because we were talking and explaining things. When we took 4 hours in the bus we were realy tired and we started to sleep, because the trip was quite boring.

Finally we arrived at Burgos, the bus stopped us in front of the hotel which we stayed for two nights. We went up the suitcase in the hotel room and the teachers gave us a little time to rest and lain at the bed.

In the afternoon we went out at the hotel and we walked to the cathedral of Burgos, at that time it was raining as usual in Burgos because is a town located near Cantàbria and is a place where is habitual to raining. We arrived at the cathedral of Burgos, we entered in and we was listening the exposition of the cathedral. The exposition was very long and boring and we are tired of seeing the same in each representation. When we leaving the cathedral, they let us free time that we used to went to shopping and took something in a bar.

When we back to the hotel we found a carousel and we decided to got on and we had a great time. Arriving at the hotel we tell us where was located the restaurant where we was going to dinner that night.

When we finished dinner we went back into the hotel and we went to sleep because we were very tired.

My group was de group 5 formed by Marc Rodriguez, Aida Roig, Eva Sellas and I. We read a book called"Lo mejor que le puede pasar a un cruasán", a novel about a man who disappears and his brother made the detective and he is investigating until he finds her brother.

We started the route where the bus stopped in Plaça Catalunya, there we had to take the subway to reach in Barri Les Corts, the first stop of the route. Then we continued to walked to the Barri Les Corts to Sant Gervasi for 30 minutes while we walked we had breakfast and Marc and I were waiting for the girls that they went out to the shops. We finally arrived in Sant Gervasi and there I recorded my p fragment of work quickly and we took the subway to go towards in Passeig de Gràcia. This is the suburb where we stayed much time since three stops of the route are were located near the Passeig de Gràcia.

After recording the last stop, the Hospital Clinic of Bracelona, we went to look for the subway to Placa Catalunya, where we gathered all the groups with the teachers.

It was an unforgettable day, I had a great time with my dear group, because it was a long route but also fun because we had to record the different places before coming out to the novel described.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ICELANDIC HAPPINESS

http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20160509-the-truth-about-icelandic-happiness

 Eric Weiner

The author of this notice a few years ago he traveled to Iceland and he surprised to see it country was one of the happiest countries in the world. When I left the country, Iceland was suffered an intense crisis afecting mainly of the people,because many of them lose their jobs and the business that have managed. I supposed the happiness of the nation had plummeted, but I was wrong, the happiness was rose a 25%. The answer is that all those people who was affected for the crisis was helped by the rest of the population, since Iceland is a very united country and all cooperate together. Because of this facts, the country has very high levels of confidence thar isn't normal in many other countries.

According of a comunicate of the United Nations, Iceland is a very open society, instead in the Middle East and Latin America are the places where happiness stands less.

One of the most emblematic place for Icelanders are the Blue Lagoon, that they consider essential to get happiness.

I think that Iceland is a country of reference for all other countries, because happiness is very important for our lives, and more countries should exist to end social equality.

7 WAYS TO STOP INDOOR AIR POLLUTION AND TOXINS FROM AFFECTING YOUR HOME

http://elitedaily.com/life/toxins-air-pollution/1312145/

This article was writted for Felisa Wiley

The air is a basic component in our lives as we breathe 3.000 gallons of air each day, but much of this breathed air is polluted due to chemical reactions or harmful materials such us: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead and particulate matter. Is bad for the humans to breathe air polluted, because, it can cause various diseases such us: asthma, emphysema and cancer, and environmental issues such us: smog, acid rain, ozone depletion and climate change. So any change we make can be small or big change something for the environment.
In 2012, 7 million people died due to air pollution, over half of those deaths were for stoves, open fires and smoking. For conserve our home to the pollution we have to eliminate:

• Chemicals released from modern building and furniture 
• Combustion gases from fireplaces and stoves 
• Chemical fumes from paints and solvents 
• Gases seeping through foundation 
• Mold and bacteria 
• Chemicals from cleaning products 
• Carbon monoxide fumes from garages 
• Cigarette smoke

The most difficult to remove are the gases, because are invisible and can seep walls and under doors, thus the global air pollution is a threat to our environment. Among all we have still time to save the planet.

Here are seven simple steps to improve indoor air pollution in your home:

1) Open the windows as much us possible: because the fumes leaves your home and enters air fresh

2) Clean all filters regullary: air purifiers and vacuums will have minimized the emisions of air pollution.

3) Make DIY home goods that won't emit harmful chemicals: with a naturals candles or simmer pots the house will smell good.

4) Decorated your home with houseplants: plants provide a natural air cleaned.

5) Use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning supplies and low-volatile organic compound paints: anything that emits any odor.

6) Don't buy carpets: because the carpets retain moisture and we have to eliminate the mold and dust mites.

7) Get tested for radon: because causes aproximately thousands of lung cancer deaths.

I think that if everyone will put her support for create a new world we will can get it. We could live in a world free of toxic gases and possessed more important than  our lives in danger.

HOW TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS FOR 6 YEARS CHANGED MY VIEWS ON MENTAL HEALTH

http://elitedaily.com/life/antidepressants-mental-health/1471116/
A article writted for Alli Jutras

This article talks about a girl who begins to take antidepressant pills.

Nobody understands why I take antidepressant pills even my boyfriend who lives with me understand it. It's very easy, when you get hooked it's very difficult to go back. If I don't take my medicine, I'm feeling very badly and I'm going to have a shitty day. When I started the ESO I convinced myself that pills didn't help me and I stop taking them, but immediately, I returned to temptation, I felt droopy and just wanted to die.

This problem can be associated as something necessary for life, such as a diabetic person needs insulin to live, I need to live my medicines, unless I will crumble.

I started taking pills when I was 14 and a doctor prescribed me these medicines, I have to reach a point in which take 20 different types of antidepressant pills. I have seen the downfall of being medicated and I have seen the change of life.

I spent five months without taking medicines and I'm seeing that I don't take any depression I decided to leave it. After this stage I feel better about myself and I change my personality.

Here are four things I’ve learned after taking medicine for six years straight:

1) Some people just won't understand: Don't listen the opinions of other, beacuse you know you take pills, and you feels good to yourself.

2)Be careful about drinking: Make sure the limits of alcohol, because is possible create horrible effects.

3)Some medicine can make you gain a lot of weight: Do you get physical activity to conserve the weight.

4) Don't give your medicine to other people: Because not all people well digested my medicines and may have important reactions.

Never pay attention what other think, because you have to be you who decided to take pills or not and you shouldn't let anyone influence to nobody.

As we left at 20:30, they started to got on at the rides, they because I have dizziness, and I hadn't desire to rose in any attraction for fear that can disassemble some pieces of the rides, since when I was chilhood we had this fear. Even when I was waiting my friends that got off, when I saw that the ride rose I was feeling tremors in my body.
