Falling in love

Nowadays, teenagers, above all people arround eighteen years old, are more mature than younger generations because we have more experiemce in feelings.
One of these feelings is to be in love. In general, we have the view that love always brings us happiness, for example: we are more happy, we give and recieve love, we have the confiance that th other person will always be with us. In ahort, we always have a reason to go on:
However, not everything is positive, love has a lot of troubles. Firstly, the other person can distract us of our way. Secondly, it could be that one in the couple depends on the oter member and this fact can decrease your self steem.
To sum up, we need to know our feelings and have there clear so as not to destroy us. If we can do this, we can enjoy the most beautiful feeling.

Little story

Hello Pat, I'm Judith. I'm writting this note to you to say that I have lost the sunglasses that you lent me the other day. I think I left them in a café before going into the Dalis museum. 
I want to apologise because I know that you love this sunglasses. There are really nice, trully. I can get you another pair when I go to town.
Well I think that I lost your glasses yesterday, when I was visiting the Dalis Museum, I went with Sara. Before going into the museum we went to the bar and probably I forgot your sunglasses there. When I reallised that I wasn't wearing your sunglasses, I when back to this bar to ask for them, but they didn't know anything. 


World must end "dirty" fuel use - UN

A long-awaited UN report on how to curb climate change says the world must rapidly move away from carbon-intensive fuels. Natural gas is seen as a key bridge to move energy production away from oil and coal. But there have been battles between participants over who will pay for this energy transitions. The report is the work of the UN's Intergovernamental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was set up to provide a clear scientific view on climate change and its impacts. The Summary for Policymakers on migration paints a picture of a world with carbon emissions rising rapidly. 
It's a fact that all our world is changing and this is brought about all the contamination that our produce with we activities day by day. We have to reduce all these activities or do it by means of a way less polutting. The plants are dying everyday and we die with them if we don't change our customs. We need to find a solution in order to keep our pace in life. I believe in the change.

You can retire before your 40th birthday

We all dream of retiring early with a fantastic pension and no money worries. What counts as early retirement? In the United States, The average adult retires at 61 according to a Gallup poll. In Australia, men retire within the last five years were 61.5 to 63.3, on average, and women were 59.6, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Whereas in Japan, the average worker retires at 69.1, and in Luxembourg, the average retirement age is 57.6, according to the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. But in some countries, like India, for instance, where two-thirds of the population is 35 or younger, this, more youthful working population has its goal set to retire earlier at 45 or 50.
Early retirement becomes an impossible dream for many people purely because they didn't plan it early enough. 

I think that it's a good idea to retire before your 40th birthday because in our civilization even though it's early, we can do a lot of things yet. I consider that people from 40 or 50 are young enough and have a lot experiences to live, they are alive. It's the best time to go away, to visit a lot of places and know new cultures and languages. If I have enough money when I am 40, I want to do it. I believe that it's a way of quality life.

I have lived underwater

Living underwater is seen by some as futuristic utopia, but what's it actually like? Rose Eveleth asks a man who eats, works ans sleeps on the sea floor.The idea of living underwater is often brought up as a possible future for humanity. Some have proposed submerged settlements as a way to preserve civilisation in the event of a global catastrophe, or to avoid overpopulation. Meanwhile, developers are alredy planning submerged hotels in locations including Maldives, Dubai, Singapore and Norway. These developments may one day live up to the romantic notions many have of life beneath the waves, but what's it like to live underwater today?

I was reading this piece of news and... Well I was really surprised that probably, in a future not very far, we can live underwater. The last summer I went to a centre of diving and it was amazing. I can't imagine living day by day underwater. It has to be really exciting. I hope one day I can visit a house underwater and spend a little time there, not forever, but one day or two it would be good. I hope that technology lead us to these new possibilities of life.

Flies can monoeuvre like fighter jet

New research shows that a threat comes into view fruit flies make split-second turns reminiscent of those made by fighter jets. High speed videos revealed the subtle wing movements that enable them to make the split-second "blank" turns in order to evade attack. 
One of the researchers, Prof Michael Dickinson of Washington University in Seattle said that the aim of the research was to learn more about how flies process visual information. These flies do a precise and fast calculation to avoid a specific threat and they are doing it using a brain that is aslittle as a grain of salt. The researchers captured the flight to fruit flies in a purpose built cage using three high  speed cameras. They frightened the flies by flashing up an imagine of a looming predator and observed closely how the flies change course. 

I believe that all these experiments are really interesting. I really like all matters related with the science, all the experiments. I think that is a way to learn more about the world because there are a lot of things hidden in the nature that there are in front of our eyes but we can't see them clearly. We need time and pay more attention to everything in the world because everything has something new to teach us.

IPCC scientists accused of "marginalising" poor nations

Climate scientists meeting in Berlin have been accused of "marginalising" the view of developing countries. The are preparing to realease a key report on how the world must cut carbon emissions to stem dangerous warming. The narrative, the language, the views of IPCC still marginalises the developing country perspectives. Dr. Okereke believes that there has been a fundamental shift in the discussions because the issue of historical responsability for carbon emissions has been watered down by richer national who are more concerned with the future that the past. 
The argument has been shifting away from the view that the developed countries, who have been mainly responsible for the problem, should take leadership in solving it, to this centre-ground view that we are all in it together and we all have to do our share.

In my view, we have to reduce all the contaminating emitions because is the better fot the world. Developed countries sometimes install their industry in other undevoloped countries in order to pollute less their country and to have cheaper workforce. People from this undevolped countries who work in this industries, normaly work a lot of hours and in really bad conditions and for a low salary. We have to change all these things and be more responsable with the enviroment.
