WHAT MONEY CAN’T BUY

All my life I have been hearing that happiness has been bought with money and now I am learning that is more valuable a gesture, for example a romantic one for your girlfriend, a simple touch of a hand or a simply look is better than a very good present. This is my point of view.

Certainly, a lot of times the richest man wins over the pretty girl. But in this relationship they are happy? The rich man can make his girl happy with presents? I think that money can’t buy love and happiness.

Obviously, everyone has a friend and more than one. The friendship can be bought with money? This is impossible. You can have friends, more or minus, but you make friends with your acts, with your personality or simply because they live in the same village or they are your neighbors but never with money.

To sum up, money can’t buy love, happiness, friends, time, and health.

HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are the norms or rights that people have just for the fact that are humans.

The first civilization that tried to impose the human rights was the Cyrus cylinder at the 6th century BC. The current human rights were created on 10 December 1948 in Paris, after the Second World War. The author was Eleanor Roosevelt. There are 30 Human Rights.

#22.SOCIAL SECURITY

Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international cooperation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

Here, In Catalunya, the social security is able and everyone has this right. But, for example, people who participate in Nazi persecutions don’t have this right.

MY LIFE AT THIS POINT

I am eighteen years old and I think that I am conscious of what I am doing with my life. Now I am doing 2^nd of Btx with hope that the next year I will be doing a degree at University, probably the teacher of primary education.

I am having difficult days in the theme of football because I had an injury and I can’t play with my team. I am working hard and fighting with my muscular strain and I expect that I will be playing soon.

But not all is bad in these days. I am in a good relationship with a girl and she makes my life better. She is always helping me and giving support in my bad moments. I am very happy with her.

I hope that next year I could write another essay like this in the University and without any injuries!

The Blurred Lines Copyright Verdict is Bad News for Music

SUMMARY:

Marvin Gaye family reported the song of Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke Blurred Lines that is a copy of Got to give it up.

First of all, the Gaye’s family didn’t think that Blurred Lines song was a copy of Got to give it up. The family’s lawyer made the first move and the Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke defended this song saying that they only took a feeling and if the songs are similar is because they’re in the same genre.

After some trials, the judge found that Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke had to pay 7 million dollars.

PERSONAL OPINION:

In my opinion and after searching and listening the two songs I think that are too different and I won’t say that they copy the Gaye’s song. And the fine that they had to pay was too high from the similarity of the songs.

A SOULMATE AT THIS POINT

A soulmate has a lot of different definitions that are correct. It is possible to talk about a soulmate of friendship, about a brother soulmate... but I want to talk about a soulmate of a relationship.

First of all I want to say that I am an extroverted boy, happy, active... and my soulmate has to have these characteristics and others that are more important for me, for example: she has to be an attentive girl, she has to worry about how I feel, and she has to be responsible because sometimes I lose the way to take.

Secondly I want to describe the appearance of my soulmate, but this is difficult to describe because my point of view about the physic of a girl changes too fast. Actually I prefer blonde girls, taller than smaller, slimmer than thinner or fatter.

In conclusion, my soulmate has to be extroverted, happy, active, attentive, worried and responsible. She may be blonde and have the perfect body but this is not essential. 

THE 16 MOST AMAZING NESTS BUILT BY BIRDS

SUMMARY:

It's very difficult to understand how birds can make those wonderful nests. They usually use they own saliva or mud to paste the branch that they can find in the trees or on the floor.

Birds can also create a communitarian nest and work all together for the construction, maintenance and repair for their own palace. This is the case of Sociable Weaver (Philetairus socius).

Other type of birds create their nest with leaves and silk fibers, all this attached to the tree with the spider silk and covered with lichens for camouflage. These birds are the hummingbirds.

OPINION:

Birds are in my life since I born. I have always been living with my grandfather birds and I like this kind of animals a lot. In my opinion this news is fascinating, interesting and enjoyable, I learnt a lot reading how the different birds create their own and original nest.

SUMMER HISTORY

I thought it was going to be an ordinary day, but I was wrong. I woke up and I didn’t remember where I was. I started to walk around the strange house and I quickly remembered I was at a new friend's house. I didn’t recognize it because we arrived late the night before and everything was dark. Some light of the day was coming through the window and I saw my friends sleeping. I waited in the kitchen, my friends started waking up lazily. We felt tired and we had no plans.When all the seven friends finished breakfast, the doorbell rang.  We didn’t expectanyone. All the boys who were in the house went to the door and I opened it. A man started talking and with his words, a smile started to draw on our faces. He gave us all the machines to record our cd. We didn't waste any time and we started to record with the new objects.

It was a good experience, but it wasn’t the same for our parents who had paid all the things.

THE LONGEST YARD

I don’t see many films on TV, but last Friday night I saw a good film. The title of the film is The Longest Yard.

This film is about an old quarterback who is arrested and put into prison. In the prison of Texas he makes a lot of friends and has the idea of the organization of a match, guards vs. prisoners. The match is amazing and thrilling with the final victory of the prisoners.

What I particularly liked about the Longest Yard was the humour parts and the match which is very exciting. The script is very good and all the jokes of the films are funny.

I would recommend this film because I laughed a lot and I couldn’t stop watching it because of its exciting scenes. I had a good moment watching this film.
