Summary:

1. Jack Panksepp a psychologist observed laughing rats in 1990s. Rats' laugh by tickling them and he needed special equipment to hear their laugh. Rats laugh to show that they are happy similar to humans. 
2. Adults think that they laugh when somebody tell a joke but they would be wrong. A psychologist found that we laugh more when we are with other people like friends talking. 
3. Brain can tell the difference between deliberate and helpless laughter. 
4. Laughter is contagiuos and someone who response this laughter we can see if this laugh is real or forced. 
5. People find jokes funnier if they think they were told by a famous comedian and you laugh more with people that you know. 
6. Laughter burns more calories than going for a run. You burn 210-40 calories for every 10-15 minutes laughing. 
7. Laughter not only felt better immediately. If a couple used laughter and smiling thet stay together for longer.
8. Laughter requieres precise timing because like a comedians it's difficult have the confidence to leave a pause for the audience to laught and cope if they don't.

My opinion:

I think that this news is very interesting and while I'm doing this post I'm learning about new things of laughter. The thing that impressed me more is number 9 because I didn't know that laughter will be more attractive than sexual drive for example. However, there are things that I knew about them. Like number 6 which talks about burning calories by laughting. 

YOUR-SAY: FAST FOOD

First of all, I think that fast food is good just to eat it once a week for a change, but is bad to get used to eating this food every day because is dangerous for our health. This food has advantages and disadvantages. 

Advatages: One advantage is that this food saves us time because if you go to a fast food restaurant you don't have to cook. Another reason, is the price because it this very cheap and economic. 

Disadvantages: The first problem is the illnesses we can have if we consume too much fast food. It has got a lot of calories and this produces obesity, cholesterol, it also makes the triglycerides rise. For example, United States has a lot of obese people because they are used to eating fast food. 

However, people can follow a balanced diet with fast food because this has got a lot of dishes low ion calories like salads. If you have to have lunch or dinner in a fast food restaurant because for your job or because you haven't got time to cook you can eat salads, or grilled fish instead of hamburgers. 

The most obese people are childrens because when you are a child is double important yo have a good because yo are growing up. It's this parent's fault because they heve got the responsibility to look after their children. When you are a child, you don't think of being fat. You only think that this food is more delicious than healty salads. 

In conclusion, you must follow a balanced diet and be healty because if you don't take care of yourself you will have healthy problems. 

YOUR-SAY: NEW TECHNOLOGIES

First of all, I think that nowadays everybody has a mobile phone. This didn't happen in the past because people had a phone only at home. Only rich people could have a mobile. So, I think that now people can communicate more easily. We have got Whatsapp and facebook for example.    

However, this communicative way is more expensive than sending traditional letters because you must pay for internet every month.

Secondly, another advantatge is that you can read online newspapers because it is free and easier. So you can find and especific information wherever you like.

However, old people prefer buying the paper edition because they don't know how to use the internet because when they were young new technologies didn't exist.

Moreover, I think that new technologies help us to learn lenguages because we can watch films, videos... in other languages. Then, you can also buy things on internet too. You can find sales or buy products fron other countries.

When we talk about studies I think that new technologies are very successful. In the past students had to find information in encyclopedies, dictionaries or books. Now we can find the information in Google. It's easier, quicker and more interesting.

                                                 

NEWS: FIRST WOMB-TRANSPLANT BABY BORN

I choose this news because I think that it's very interesting and when I read it has impressed me. It's a beautiful news and I would like to share it with all of you. 

Summary:
A women in Sweden had a baby using a transplanted womb received from a friend of 60. Cancer treatment and birth defects are the reasons because women haven't got a functioning womb.

We don't know who is this couple but the mother's ovaries still had functioning. Doctors at the University of Gothenburg did the womb transplant. Women needed drugs to prevent the womb being rejected. A year after the transplant, doctors decided to implant one of the frozen embryos for start the pregnancy. The baby was born prematurely, with 32 weeks. Mum and baby now are well. Father said: "He's no different from any other chil, but he will have a good story to tell".

My opinion: 

What I think about this news? Well, as I say before, this news has impressed me. It's a very good example that medicine is always progressing and it's a good thing for humanity. I think that all women, with a birth defects or something like this need to have the opportunity to have a baby, because this it's one of the amazing things in women's life.

I know a little bit French but I’m good at English. I haven’t got any English Certificates yet but I’m interested in First Certificate. I would like to take this exam because if I go to the University I will need it. So, my intention is to take this examination as soon as I finish Batxillerat.
