Living in a big city (advantages and disadvantages)

One of the new things about this course has been moving to a new house in a big city, Murcia, and this fact makes me realize all the big changes  with my city. On the one hand, being in this city makes you closer to everything. If you want, you can go through the city centre to buy, eat, do exercise, sign up for courses... In addition, everything is connected so you don't have to walk around the city to get to the other side, there are a lot of buses and a tram. If you're here and you're going to college you don't have to move away, so you spend less money and less time on the train. On the other hand, if you live in a big city there are more people so when are you going to the cinema or to buy there are many more people. Also, in the case in which you drive, there is much more traffic. There are more people also there are more noises and more pollution. Despite the disadvantages, I do still preferring to live in a big city because I think that there are many more facilities.

Music Today

It is clear that music evolves year after year and month-to-month, but better?
It all depends on what you evolve your tastes also.
It is almost impossible to think like, for example in my case, I started to listen to the greats of rock thanks to my parents and how now I hear all, although I don't like rap.
How we've evolved from Freddie Mercury to Hardwell?
Guitar solos ancients have left pass to electronic sounds that sneak into our heads and make you look almost like a crazy dancing. And speaking of dances, these also have undergone a change. Years ago you had a minimum knowledge of dance and you danced at the disco, but now the only thing you can do is jump with raised arm and pasting cries. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, but it is the closest thing to a kind of elimination of stress.
In contrast, if you remain very similar followers. Broken t-shirts, tattoos, piercings and long hairs...Everything changes and this is good but will have to wait a few more years to see what happens.

Pollution

From my point of view, pollution is an Earth disease produced by men and now we need to do something about it. The conscious people on this issue, as me, should have more influence on the people with power to find solutions together, but it really isn't like this. I want to think that people are becoming more aware and gradually this will have good changes.

Zoos

Two years ago I went with my parents, my brother and some friends to Cabarceno´s nature park in Santander. Cabarceno is an enormous kind of zoo where you can go with your own car and do a safari. This surprised me because I had never been so close to wild animals including some endangered animals. Since I did this tour, I’m in love with the animal kingdom. We used the cable car where we could see all the breed animal without danger.

I loved seeing the giraffes, bears, dangerous snakes, rhinos..But what I really liked was that this zoo had some conservation ideas and an animal protection charity. Moreover, this zoo collected animals that their habitat has been destroyed.

It’s true that some animals have behavioural problems due to being locked in a cage, but I prefer to think that animals are better cared for there than in their natural habitat. After visiting those animals, I changed my mind about zoos, because I thought zoos were prisons but I could see the opposite. They don’t endanger animals, they only wish the animals have been the best in a suitable location.

I could see there a family of Iberian lynx and it made me think that they really protect species. Some zoos are actually doing something to try to conserve endangered species and this is an example.

The zoo was very keen on our education about conservation and now I ‘m very interested

in this issue. It made me think differently.

Now we are in a society too well-off but we should think more about animals that are helpless and affected by the atrocities of humans.

Now, describe someone...

I couldn't have a better brother. His name is Juanjo and he's two years younger than me. Even I'm older than him, he's taller and thiner, so people say me thar he´s the oldest. He has a flurry beard too. He's in love with all kind of music, in particular, he loves to play the piano. We always spend our time singing and playing the piano making covers. I love him because he always helps me when no one could do and he's always there for all.

Home sweet home

FRIDAY, I'm in love

I thought I would never say it but I really miss my brother. His name is Juanjo and he's two years younger than me. Now I only see him on weekends so I'm always waiting for Fridays .

Barcelona.

The best place I have visited and where I have spent the best summer of my life is Barcelona.  I stayed there with my best friends this summer to celebrate the end of PAU.

First of all we decided to do this trip because my friend Mari Sole was born there and she loved the idea. We prepared our heavy backpacks and large suitcases and we set off to Alicante by train.  When we arrived to Alicante we took a taxi to transport our luggage to the airport. Taxis are too expensive. Fortunately we took the plain on time and I could sit in a window seat. The trip was very short; we arrived to Barcelona in 30 minutes. The first thing I thought in Barcelona was “Why didn’t I bring warmer clothes?!”

 We kept on going to the hotel and it was a strange adventure. We first began to walk to the opposite side so we arrived to the outskirts of the city, where there were some slums. Then we looked for the hotel in Google Maps so we discovered that it was on the other side of the city. Finally we found the hotel and we left all our things to go to Park Güell, there we took a lot of pictures and we had a good time.

In the evening, we went to the town centre to have dinner and drink something in typical bars. After that, we went to some pubs and discos. Then we spend two days in the beach knowing a lot of people, practising windsurf in Costa Blanca. We went shopping too.

The last day in Barcelona we visited other monuments like Sagrada Familia, Tower Agbar, Barcelona head, Gaudi’s artworks, Batllo house..

My friend Mari Sole drove a car to the airport and we caught a flight.

I didn’t get a good tan, but I got beautiful pictures and a better relationship with my friends.

I recommend travelling to Barcelona if you love beautiful and breathtaking sceneries. And especially, if you love art and the works of Gaudi, a gothic style full of colour.
