TOXIC FRIENDS

Dear Julie,

We have been friends for more than 5 years. Those have been fantastics years, although we have had our ups and downs, but I have arrived up to a point that I can't stand your routine calls, your text messages and your letters.
Of course we're friends but I also need my space. I don't like to be controlled for my parents and neither for you.
Don't think I'm breaking our friendship; I'm just trying to save it. It’s important for me to keep this friendship alive, but with some changes. Because if not, I will explote. So think about it and place yourself in mine.

Keep this in mind and please answer me as soon as possible.

With love,

Ariadna

PSYCHOLOGISTS ON OUR SOCIETY

The influence of psychologists on our society is increasing.
The reason is simple: nowadays humans have a lot of problems and they got stressed so fast. However psychologists do a very important task because they make you feel happy and not depressed.
Psychologists are well considered on our society because everybody goes to their consults trying to solve their problems. So, it is stranger if you don't go to a consult than if you go. However, they don't answer at all our psychological necessities because sometimes, we feel bad when we are not depressed.

After all, I think that going to the psychologist is a waste of time and money, because if you have friends they are going to help you with your problems, and they’re going to be more proud of what I should do because they know how I act and how I feel after that. In conclusion, friends will help me to feel happier, doing better as psychologist.

WALKING FEET NAKED HELP YOU

Nowadays walking feet naked it's not as common as it used to be few years ago. Shops offer us plenty of feet things. From toes socks to soft slippers. Just to avoid the floor contact.

Now that temperature is rising up, it's a good time to look for a couple minutes to walk feet naked, although you are going to be in the swimming pool, the beach, at home or even at work.

What kind of benefits can you obtain?

First of all the articulations movements. If there is something important is the stability and the safety of the place, where you're going to be walking. In our bodies the proportion between our feet size and high it's very different.

We have reached this equilibrium, because the feet aren't static structures, they're adaptable to any kind of area which we can walk.

Secondly, the sensitivity of the sole feet creates more protection for possible ankle problems and others.

In conclusion, walking feet naked is healthy, but also you have to think about others, not always the feet smells well. We recommend no to practise it at work, generally for respect and education. But if you want to be focus of attention, keep walking until you fall exhaust.

LIFE AT NIGHT

I think you must go out at nights if you want to be a complete person. The time you spent out at nights is completely different from the time during the day.
At night all things change. People get dressed to go to pubs, bars or discos, meet people and have fun.
Maybe the 80% of people met his/her partner at night. Most of them say that it is the best way, but for people who don’t have night life it is not the best way. It is true that there are several opinions, but is checked out scientifically that people live better and calmly if they go out at nights, and have fun with friends.

If your routine is to stay at home at night, I will suggest you to try going out. Because it's like the (Pringles), once you poop, you can't stop!

TEENAGERS

How can teenagers enjoy the nights without money, or how can survive without money?

This is the main question that most of teenagers think about.

Normally teenagers cannot enjoy without money, but if you ask to any adult , they're going to say to you that you can go for a walk , or you can play some board games. But actually nobody does these things, everybody tries to safe enough money to go out at nights and drink alcohol.

It's sad that teenagers have arrived up to this point, but it's true, nobody is able to live without money, but teenagers are not the only ones, most of adults cannot live without money. So they can't say anything about it.

Maybe you're going to think that some people who go to the campsite are different, but you're wrong if you think that. They're just like others. They just wait for the campsite days to go there and have fun, but previously they've paid to go to this campsite so they're not having fun without money.

So I let you think if the teenagers are the only ones that need money to have fun.

Mmmm....like an animal

I was trying to fall asleep watching a soap opera. When I finally felt sleep I started to dream. I was an enormous tuna, I was swimming in the deep blue sea with my brothers and sisters, that were thinner than me. Their weigh was 90kg, I said they were thinner than me because mine is 210kg. Well we were swimming, when suddenly something white caught us. It came from the sun or the moon I thought....I was too nervous, I think. This strange white thing started to become smaller. My sisters came over me and my brothers too. I didn't know what to do so I started to move my long and dangerous tail, when I felt something hard, it was like two columns, and in less than two seconds something hurted me. I started to lose a lot of blood, and I lose the sense. When I opened my eyes again, I thought that I was in a Peter Pan film, because I saw an iron hand. But it wasn't true. This hand cames towards me, in here I lost the rest of my blood, and I couldn't remember the end because I woke up. I think that I died. Poor me, poor tuna!

LETTER

Hi Sophie,

Do you remember me? I'm Ariadna, the girl you met in Platja D'aro. I'm writing to you because I found some old addresses in my agenda and one of this addresses was yours, so I decided to write you something because I don't know anything of you since last summer, I think it was...

First of all I would like to introduce myself again, probably you don't remember anything.

So like I said, my name is Ariadna and I live in Manlleu. I'm studying in a state high school and it's my second year in there studying subjects as Latin and Greek. I like these subjects but in some cases I found them difficult. Maybe, right now you're thinking it's obvious because I study in a state high school, but for me is better than any other private schools which are in my town. Manlleu is not a beautiful town, but it has some things that you cannot find in other towns around. For example, it has several parties like "El porc i la cervesa" and "La festa del serpent", which are typicaland common of Manlleu. My towns it's also known for the imigration, I'm not racist but I've reached the point that i hate everybody. I don't know why, but they're attracting all attention and the city hall don't have enough time for the other people, that have been living here for more than 50 years and it's difficult to accept them for that.

Apart from that, I like the place where I live. It's the residential part and the 85% of my neighbours are old people. They're nice, but usually it's boring.

As you can see I've In troduced myself a little bit, now it's your turn.

Explain me something about your own and what do you do.

Hoping your answer,

Ariadna

REPORT (kind of)

Could the book you have read be made into a film for TV? What changes would you make in order to do this? Write a report for a TV company, giving your ideas.

ME THE UNKNOWN

Antoni Dalmasas, the author of Me the unknown, it's one of the best books wrote for teenagers. This one is the 17th he had written, and maybe the only one which includes history events. This report describes the story of a boy who has fall in love with one of his school mates. This girl works taking care of ancient people, although she doesn't get anything for this. The main character (Arnau) to capt Olga's attention, decide to work as an assistant of old people. Arnau's work consists in taking care of Ramon, who has Alzheimer. Ramon, always talk about the times that he had passed, and what had he done during those times.


It seems to be a difficult story, with troubles and deaths, but it's just a normal story with lots of contents. For this simple reason I think there is no need to do a film. Surprisingly someone has made like a version of this book on 2007, just to show some aspects he thought it would be interesting. I found it unnecessary, because doing versions; you're contributing to lose the charm of the book.

To sump up, people should consider watching these false versions, because they don't show the book as the writer does.

HOW TO USE A “PORRÓ”

First of all you have to know that is so typical here in Catalonia, not in Spain. Spain has different traditions, but not as good as ours.
It’s made of glass so be careful. Usually Catalan people put wine in it and raise the “porró” to drink. The purpose is to drink while you’re raising the “porró” over your head, so you have to swallow very quickly because the “porró” doesn’t wait. For some people is difficult to use it, but it’s funny, so is perfect for you, a funny present for a funny family. The liquid must be introduced for the big hole, and the little one is going to be were the fluid will fall.

Good luck and I want to se pictures of all of you using it!
Missing you,

Ariadna

LETTER

Here is part of a letter you receive from your new pen friend in New Zealand:
One of my great interests is food! I really love to cook. Can you tell me all about the typical food of your area? Do people still cook traditional dishes? Please could you describe how to make a typicall dish?


Hi Anne, everything okey? I hope so.
Well, like you ask me in you letter, I'm going to explain you all about our typical food. I think you know that I live in Catalonia, which is in Spain, exactly at the north east of Spain, bordering France. A nice place I have to say, but you want to know about our food, so let's start. In Catalonia the most common dish is "pa amb tomàquet", translated bread with tomatoes, plenty of times it goes with "botifarra" like a frankfurt, but with the meat of a hamburger. It's really good! I love it. We also have white beans, "seques" for us, they also go with "botifarra". Paella is not as common as in Valencia but we also cook a lot. So I think I'm going to give you some instructions for bread with tomatoes, the easiest one and possibly the one you'll use more.
First of all you have to have the following ingredients:
-Bread
-Tomatoes
-Oil-Salt
-And something else you can choose to eat with it.

First step, make bread pieces, then cut the tomatoes in two parts, once you have it move the tomatoes for the bread, then add some oil and salt and you can eat it.
As you can see is too easy and it's very typical, people still do all this dishes I mentioned.

Greetings to your parents,

Ariadna

MEDICINE TO SURVIVE
by: Ariadna Ramon

While other directors are trying
to think about a good plot, I legend
starts to be breaking news.
I legend the film has introduced a new dilemma in our society. It starts when the movie came out, it was at the end of the hottest July. Maybe because of hot people went more to the cinemas to watch movies, or maybe because they really want to watch it, the cinemas were on over booking. The problem was the plot, the one which shows us the importance of being healthy to survive in this crowded world.
Will Smith (main character) and his dog are the only survivors. Everyday they fight against the loneliness, but when the dog dies he starts to lose his control and this drives him crazy, so he tries to kill himself, but luckily, a woman who had heard the radio advertisement he made everyday, safe the inconcient body of the monsters that live there. Since this moment the movie change, but also people minds which start to think about that medicine is the only way to safe the humanity and all the problems that are surrounding the planet.
But let’s try to be honest for a minute, Is medicine the only way to change crisis? Is medicine the only way to take care of climate change? Was medicine able to stop global wars?
All this questions have and easy answer. No. So please, be adults enough to believe in real facts not in movies.
