Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about my recent created association Salvem Vides to encourage the health  of childrens of Liberia where is the country with the greatest number of people deprived of health service We are very disappointed with the isolation of some regions of this country and his poor facilities to move around.

I would like to point out that Liberia is one of the poorest countries in the world and don't have the comforts and facilities that a developing country must have. I refer to the isolation of many villages that don't enjoy with the basic needs such as foodstuff, water and hygiene,because to get basic needs like food and water they must to go over on foot to achieve find them, sometimes they must to cross to dangerous and isolating roads. Hygiene is another problem that affect to Liberian people, because there is a scarcity of water and soap to wash his body and clothes.

In view of the scarcity of these basic needs, Liberia has become a focus of diseases, and the worst problem is that they don't have near his  hospitals and medical centers to supply the necessary vaccines to avoid or treat many devasting diseases.

I strongly urge you to hold me and my association Salvem Vides to provide tools, necessary medicine and some stretchers to built an asylum to accomodate patients infected by some disease and put necessary vaccines at childrens that needs.

Yours faithfully,

Guillem Palomeras

CAN WE MAKE HUMAN RIGHTS MORE RELEVANT IN THE WORLD TODAY?(WITH THE HELP OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

The human rights are laws related in the behaviour and the respect of people, but not always these rights are accomplish. In some cases this human rights aren't value in some people, for any problems related in his physical or cultural live.

For example in the case of to find a job, some people are more undervalue form other people. In most of business before take on a person, they study his character hu¡is experience in the job, but always they see his physichs and sometimes take on a person of the same country before a person of other country, this problem it's called racism, and this problem it becomes a relaity in our world. I think that we need to value a person for his experience his character or his desires to work and we not value a person for his aspect religion or culture, because we don't know, if a foreigner is most calificate of a person of this country, and sometimes we lose people highly qualified.

DAY 4: FRIDAY 7TH APRIL

That day was the final day and we had to prepared the suitcase to left this in reception at 9:00h. Then we went to the bus station to went to visited  St Paul's Cathedral that was designed by Christopher Wren after the Great Fire and built between 1675 and 1710. It is one of the world's largest church domes around 65,000 tons worth. 

Then we went to had breakfast because with the rush to pack the suitcase we hadn't much time. Then we visited the Monument that was designed by Wren to commemorate the Great Fire. It is 60,6m high, the exact distance from it's base to the bakery on Pudding Lane where the blaze begin. We had free time if we wanted to climb up to the viewpoint. I rose 311 steps and finally we observed part of the London city were an incredible views. 

Then we had a bus and took us to The Tower of London that is World Heritage Site which possesses a gruesome and compelling history. The most striking building is the central White Tower, with it's Romanesque architecture and hour turrets. Is a huge castle where Lourdes told us that in the past served as a prison to condemned the slaves and intolerant people with the government to death. We passed the Tower of London and we entry to the Tower Bridge that was built when London was still a thriving port in 1894. When we arrived at the end of the bridge we got off in a beutiful and clean park where we had some pictures of the London Bridge that could see perfectly.

Then we had to slipe away from Borough Market because there are a lot of people selling food and others buying the food. Borough Market is similar than Candem Market with his food stalls and we had to bought the lunch to had much time to visited the things that we had to see.

After lunch we went to visited the Shakespeare's Globe that was the most famous theatre, where a genius playwright was offering his such as Macbeth and Hamlet. We did a tour of the theatre and it's areas and we could see the stands and the stage where Shakespeare acted, and then we entered in the exposition of the theatre where we could the see the clothes and some objects that they used at that period to acted. And finally we went to the Tate Modern that is one's of London biggest attractions, this outstanding modern and contemporany art gallery is housed in the creatively revamped Bankside Power Station south of the Millenium Bridge. The Tate Modern houses the Tate's Collection of modern art with work ranging from Andy Warhol to Rachel Whiteread and Henri Matisse to Henry Moore. We went upstairs in the viewpoint to took photographs of the landscape, was very beautiful and striking to observe the views of London, but we stayed sad because was the final day and we had to left London to return to Barcelona, and nobody wanted to return because we had too much homework and exams.

Then we returned to the Hostel by underground, we took the suitcase and at 17.15h we say goodbye to the city of London. We took a bus and we went to the Airport of Gatwick, we had to dinner in the Airport and then at 21.40h we had to boarding to got in the plane by Vueling, I was so tired and I fell asleep during the flight. At 00:50h we arrived at Barcelona and we had to waited to the bus that will brought us to Castelló d'Empúries. We arrived at Castelló at 4:30h and finally we went to my house to rest all days that we had pass in London. 

Was an incredible adventure I had a great time with my friends and teachers and I encourage all students to travel to London because it's a unique experience.

We got up very early in the morning and had breakfast in the hostel. We ran out from the hostel to the underground station of Elephant and Castle to Charing Cross to arrived at Trafalgar Square and entered at The National Gallery that is a permanent collection houses Western European paintings, ranging from the 13th to the 20th centuries. There was a plenty of portraits from Boticelli, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Turner, Sebastiano... Most of these paintings was surprised me because I was thinking how did the painter to painted the most tallest pictures. The paintings was set in different landscapes, houses, buildings or self-portrait from an important figure of these century. There was a plenty of different colours combined with some figures and shapes which gave them a meaning or a representation. As I don't do Art History I couldn't knew the meaning of the most of these paintings and portraits his colours and figures, but I kept seeing us.

At 11:30h we got out from the museum and the teachers told us that we had free time until 16:30h. We decided to went to Oxford Street that is one of London's main shopping streets. It is two miles long and runs from Marble Arch in the west to Tottenham Court Road in the east. The sreet was a full of shops and shopping malls where we entered and we was seeing all the marks and the full of clothes that was inside the shops. Then we looked for a restaurant and sat in a terrace where we lunch a delicious handmade hamburger with chips.

Then we decided to went to visited the Tower Bridge, but we had a confusion with the underground that we had to caught and we appeard the side of another bridge, but as we had done the whole walk we took a photo from the London Bridge that could be seen from far away.












At 16:30h we had to stayed in front of the Natural History Museum and we had to caught the Circle Line of the underground to arrived at Souht Kensigton, but we got in the wrong train and we had to do 20 stops  to arrived at the Natural History Museum. When we discovered that we got in the wrong train we were quite nervous and scared because we got three quarter of hour later and didn't know how the teachers would react. When we arrived Isabel was waiting for us and told us that nothing happen an error has it all. We finally could visited the Natural History Museum that is a must in London. Diplodocus skeleton greets you in the main hall. The museum includes the dinosaur gallery, the Darwin Centre, and areas names Volcanoes and Earthquakes, Sensational Butterflies, Wildlife Garden. Also we had to visited the Science Museum has seven floors of interactive and educational exhibits.

We went and the people was observed us from top to bottom, because we were dressed casual and they were dressed with suits and gowns. We were circling around the mall looking at prices and the decorated.

After we finishing breakfast we went to the underground station and arrived at British Museum that is the country's largest museum and one of the oldest and finest in the world. This accumulation of treasures vast Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek, Roman, European and Middle Eastern galleries.

In the museum we had to found some sculptures and some objects that we had to photograph and observe the different objects and sculptures from different cultures and traditions. There were a plenty of cultures and discovers in the museum, but I was surprise with stuff species, because some of them they seemed to be really. We left the museum and took the traditional London bus to arrived at Camden Market was a square surrounded by fast food stalls and we could choose the food that we prefer.

When we finished lunch, we went for a walk bypassing all traditionals shops and stalls that were in the area. Stores were set in differents cultures, times and countries. The area that I liked it was set in the west and the horses, there was a shop that had some horse stables inside the shop and it seemed that we stayed at an equestrian.

At 16:30h we loaded at a boat that brought us at a voyage for a town called Little Venice, because it seemed at Venice, because the houses were surrounded by the river and some houses were stayed stuck boats. where people living there, and we also passed by the London Zoo and we could see different animals.

The guided visit was consisted in the explanation that who was Jack The Ripper and his history of her five murders. The guide was brought us for the streets were Jack The Ripper was killed prostitutes and the areas or places that he was moved around. This tour I didn't like too much, because I stayed tired and we had to rest, but I was heard the history of Jack The Ripper and how of cruel was his murders. He suffocated her victims, after he beheaded and finally he rippered the intestines and some organs.

CAN LOVE LAST FOREVER?

It is a well known that love are often involved in a sentimental and emotional state in which persons feels confortable with someone who gives you support to superate the conflicts and problems that you may be have in the journal days of our lifes and prove to understand that you need some help to think about funny and pleasent things and moments to forget the harmful or bad things for example the job when you are adult or the studies when you are a teenager.

Many people may be think that love it is not important for our lifes, we mustn't only refer to love couple in the question, because it is possible to love a friend an a relative not only to our couples.

In my view all people need to love and be loved, we just need to find some firends or a couple that understand you that we can trust them in difficult times that offers their support to superate the obstacles of life. Therefore we must think that can love last forever because if do you have this type of friends or couples surely you will stay by your side, and will be a love last forever, can only rely on people who stay at your side.

In addition not all relationships are often more comfortable, and many people try to hold the relationship. I believe that if you don't trust in yout couple is better to break it off the relationship, beacuse some of them can be complicated to the extend that can be used to abused by the people who you loved, and it is clear that in this case the love is not last forever suffer from love is not a real love.

In conclusion love may be can last forever, if do you are surrounded by people that you know who loves you, but if this person don't value you it's possible that this love can't last forever.

WHY DO WE LOVE? A Philosophical inquiry

http://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-do-we-love-a-philosophical-inquiry-skye-c-cleary

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.

DOES HUMOR PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN LIFE

Humor is an important physical state that consisting clear people minds with amounts of problems and negative things to have a little minute to disconect of work.

I think that if a person has humor it's an important step to get a positive mind to solve problems or to disconect of the rules that invade your mind. This is the moment when you are being with your friends laughting and telling new experiences or things that you want to share with them.

And the people who don't want to share with others to tell about what they did the previous it's probably that this person will be depressed or alone without nobody who hold them.

In conclusion I think that a person needs humor to lead problems and to clean minds with positive energy and to have good times.

JOKE

PERSONAL OPINION OF GRADUATION...NOW WHAT?

I agree with the speech of this teacher that the students that working every day at every moment, who strives to get good grades, are the students who can will choose thei future, their future job and where they want to will be studying.

I think that all students are ability to study what they want to be independent. Only students needed one thing: to have grit and put the enthusiastically for solve problems and to overcome your goals. The most important is not the intelligence, because if you don't use the intelligence it ends, is the effort and dedication, so you can will make the best future for your life.

OPINION ESSAY

We have learnt to take better care of our planet. Do you agree?

During this third term we have learnt a lot about global issues, we make a presentations to the class about how to fight and the solutions of the global issues, also we watched videos and some pictures that it alarms us to protect the planet, and the teacher taught us how we save  and help the planet related with the topics that we had chosen for the presentations.

We don't agree with the sentence, because:
Firstly, referring to the sentence, actually there are a lot of people who continue polluting our planet, because they don't know the damage that they do to the environment. In many places around the world the people suffer from many diseases for live surrounded by garbage, toxic gases, polluted water and sometimes the water is stagnant for fault of oil that has been spilled at the sea, causing the death of many animals, plants and sometimes cause boat accidents, because oil is sticky and makes that the boat slip and can not be controlled.
Secondly, in the world there are still wars and dictatorships and these don't care about our planet, because wars wipe out many lives and entire countries, and dictatorships enslave a part of the populations to consider them inferior to others.
Finally we think that the polution has to finish in all it forms, because may be one day the planet would be extinct cause a lot of pollution that we produce every day. During these latest years the ice of the countries located in the poles is still melting and the sea levels rises, that this fact can caused the flooding of some cities situated a few meters above sea level.
We found a solution that consist in to get the peace in the whole world and accepted people as they are, make disappear the racial problems and coperate together to reach to the maximum peace between citizens of differents nacionalities.
 We suggested that a solution for this problem may be can be teaching people that they aren't throwing things into the environment, because causes some disadvantages against the whole planet and possibly hurt their live.

FRANKENSTEIN'S QUESTIONS

1) Should scientific research have limits? Ethics and Genetics. I think that the scientific research, if it have limits, because we have to think about the lives of the poor animals or plants which the scientifics use to make experiments or tries to discover new theories, but I think that discover new cells to cure persons are good for the future.
2) What is the relationship between human rationality and emotion? The relationship between these concepts is that the human rationality are the actions we do and the human emotion are the feeling that we have.
3)What is the role of the individual in relationship to society and the family? The role of the individual relationship to society are more closed or with fewer confidence that the relationship to the family, is in my case.
4) What are the consequences of judging by apparences only? To judge a person, first you have to know her charachter and emotions, sometimes you should not trust the apparences that we have, because in many cases fool us, and it may be the person who we judged be the person who will help us in the future.
5) Can you explore these dycothomies in the story?

• mortality/immortality: there are a succes of mortality when the family of Frankenstein was died in hands of the monster, and immortality, the monster feels immortality because he has created for a diversion of Frankenstein and the monster think that he must be immortal.
• hero/villain:  the hero of the story was Frankenstein, because he could create a new creature with torn pieces and many objects, and the villain of the story are the monster for kill the family of Frankenstein, but Frankenstein also was a villain because he don't build a wife for a monster.
• reason/emotion: the monster had a reason for kill the family of Frankenstein. because Victor don't help us, and emotion, when the monster meets her new family, because in the begining they look after the monster.
• individual/family/society: individual was the monster, because he not have any friends, the family was the family of Frankenstein, and the society was the people of the village who threw rocks ate the monster.
