1.Discuss. Why do we love? It’s heart-breaking and complicated most of the times yet do we need it at all? I think everyone needs to love and be loved, either with your couple with your friends or the family, but everyone needs to feel that someone has really loves you and knows that you can always rely on that person when you need more someone by your side. We often need to be loved or loved to forget certain problems or conflicts that we have at certain times in order to spend fun and emotional time without thinking with the problems that we have in our live. There are people who find it difficult to express their feelings, but I think it's not becomes difficult love, since anyone can give and receive love and for no one will feel alone.

Yesterday there was an ice storm called Egon that lashed much parts of Western Europe wich caused power cuts in many homes, it toppled trees and interrumpt some rail services.

One of the worst affected areas is Normandy and the regions of the northern of Paris that caused the power cuts of the 237.000 homes as the storm swept across, and the hurricane winds reached the 146km/h. The Egon storm was arriving at German cities nearby at France causing havoc on the roads and leading on traffic jams. All these cluster of problems meant that emergency crews were overwhelmed with emergency calls. Citizens were sighted to the conditions of the roads coat with snow and black ice. Therefore of the storm many Belgian cities have been practically flooded.

The storm has lowed temperatures until to 30 degrees below zero, creating cold waves that have affected many parts of Poland and the South west of Europe such as Romania, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey that are surrounded  by these cold waves that caused the death of 70 citizens.

But the worst situation is for the refugges of Balkans who are vulnerable to freezing temperatures, because many families live in tents and they don't have heating, since it is reported that many refugees died trying to cross Bulgaria. Some agencies such us the UN or UNHCR moved these refugees to more comfortable facilities.

The Egon storm also caused the cancellation of more than 125 flights bound for many European cities and the ICE reduced the speed of the trains causing delays of many of them.
