London Trip

We are going to London next week and we have to be informed about our destination. So now I'll show you the sites that we can visit there and where is our hostel.

The hostel is five minutes near the underground station. To arrive there we have to walk. The nearest underground station is named Elephant and Castle Station. We have to take brown line, called Barkerloo, and at the four stop we have to get out of the underground.

The facilities and the regulations are the typical of every hostel. There's no one that catch my attention.

We can visit Dashwood Studios, the Electric Elephant Cafe, the Pullens Gardens, The Corsica Studios, the Faraday Gardens, The East Street Market and a lot of sites.

MUST-SEE LANDMARKS IN LONDON:


Palace of Westminister: The Palace of Westminster is the seat of Parliament in the United Kingdom. There's also the famous tower named Big Ben. Every people who visites London should went there. To go there we have to take the brown line of Bakerloo and then get off at the Waterloo stop.

London Eye: Situated on the banks of the River Thames, the London Eye is an enormous, 135 meter high observation wheel carrying 32 exterior glass-walled capsules. It offers fantastic views over central London. I want to go there to take pictures of these magnific views. To go there we have to take the brown line of Bakerloo and get off in the stop named Waterloo.

Trafalgar Square: Trafalgar Square is a large city square commemorating Lord Horatio Nelson’s victory against Napoleon’s navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. There's a figure of Nelson behind some fountains. Is one of the most iconic sites of London. Also, To go there we have to take the brown line of Bakerloo and get off in the Waterloo stop.

Internet and it's users can change the world for the better

Nowadays, Internet has converted into a very important tool to serach information, communicate with people around the world, buy stuff and entretainment. We use Internet everyday, for everything and in the past, none of us could imagine that.

We can explain a lot of things about Internet but now I'm going to explain the good and the bad things of Internet for the worls. Like the title says, can Internet change the world for the better?

In my opinion, Internet is so useful because we use it for everything, we use it to comunicate with people that are so far away from us or send mails, show our opinion of some topics, upload pictures of what we like or what we do, etc... And also we can meet new people. Another important thing of Internet is that we can search information of everything and learn a lot, instantly.
But all good things have a bad side. I think that on the Internet there are a lot of bad people that are racist, sexist, etc... And that produces violence, violations, black markets, etc. It happens because Internet is free and everybody can use it. 

In conclusion, I think that Internet is a very good tool to comunicate and search information and that is so important for us. If we use it with carefully nothing of the bad things that Internet has could affect us.

At least 15 people have been killed in a landslide at a vast rubbish dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa. Also dozens of people are still missing since ocurred the landslide. They say that 150 were there when it happened.
A number of makeshift houses are now buried under tonnes of waste. Many people had been scavenging at the site to make a living, and some had even resided there permanently. They planned to burn rubbish to convert it in electricity.

Personal opinion:

It's sad to know that the poor and needed people is always suffering problems like this. They don't deserve this becouse they are fighting everyday to build a better place and society for live calmly without problems like hungry and wars.

Rubbish: basura.

Jordan releases soldier who shot Israeli schoolgirls

A Jordanian soldier who killed seven Israeli schoolgirls in 1997 has been released after serving 20 years in prison.
His name is Ahmed Daqamseh and now is in his house with his family. He killed the Israeli girls while they were doing a trip in a island with the school.
A military court said that he was mentally unestable and sentenced him to pass 25 years in prison. However, some lawmakers let him get out early than the sentece says.
Israel has so far made no public comment on the soldier's release. Also, after the shooting, Jorsan's late King Hussein personally apologized for the incident and went to the victims family house to offer his condolences.
For some opposition activists, Ahmed is a hero.

Personal opinion:

In my opinion, I think that a people who killed some schoolgirls don't deserves get out of the prison never in his whole life. And also, he don't have complete his sentence (25 years).
It's embarrassing.

Vocabulary:

Pupils: alumnes.
Sentence: sentència.
Condolences: condolències.
