NEWS: MANY SOUTH SUDAN BOYS "KIDNAPPED TO BE CHILD SOLDIERS"

I choose this news because I think that is interesting to read and know more about this horrible occurrence. 

Summary:
South Sudan is in a state of civil war with President Salva Kiir to Loyal forces pitted against rebels subordinate by Vice-President Riek Marchar. Hundreds of boys in South Sudan have been kidnapped and forced to become child soldiers. Unicef reported last month that there were, more or less, 89 children. Also, said that these boys were abducted by the Shiluk Militia, under the control of Johnson Oloni. The UN believes 12,000 children were used as child soldiers last year in South Sudan. 

                                                                  source
My opinion:
I don't know what in the world can be this terrible thing. People who abduct these children to be a soldiers haven't got a heart. I'm against with this action and I would like that in a future this stop.

YOUR-SAY: VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine's day is an American and British tradition. People sent each other cards, flowers, gifts or chocolate... to demostrate their love to their partner. However, some people also send cards or mobile messages to their friends in order to demostrate their friendship. Each partner celebrated this day like they want. Once go to the cinema, others go to have dinner in a restaurant and maybe others prefer to celebrate this day at home.  

Personally, I don't like this day althought it's the most romantic day of the year in UK. I prefer celebrating the 23rd of April, Sant George as it is a Catalan tradition. On Sant George's Day we give books and red roses to each other as it comes from a very ancient legend. 

I'm not a very romantic girl. Nowaday, I don't like this things but maybe in a future when I have a partner I will enjoy this day. Who knows?

YOUR-SAY: CARNIVAL IN ROSES

One more year, Roses has celebrated a wonderful party of the Carnival. It's recognised as one of the most famous Carnival of Catalonia. It last for five days from Tuesday 12th to Monday 16th of February. There was a big number of participants in the parate as well as lot of public people admiring the amazing parate. I really like this Carnival because people make their carriages as well as their costumes. They work for several weeks before the big day. 

From my point of view, this part is one of the most amazing one. When I was a child, I use to go to this Carnival with my cousine's carriage. Later, when I grew uo I decided to go with my friends. This year, I dressed up as a referee and my friends and I went to Roses on Friday and Saturday night. I didn't go on Sunday because I was tired and I will go to the school on Monday. I enjoyed the weekend a lot!!

YOUR-SAY: APPLE COMPANY

Last September the 9th, the Apple Company presented its new mobile. There are two different models: One is the Iphone 6 which costs 699€ and it's the improved version from the last one. Iphone 6 is bigger too. Then, the other model is Iphone 6 Plus which is like the Iphone 6 but it's ever bigger than Iphone 6. Iphone 6 Plus costs 799€. If you want more than 16GB the price rises. 

In my opinion, I wouldn't buy this new Iphone right now because It's as new that people may not know if it works well. It may have some problems. Then, talking about its size I think that it's too big and the Iphone 6 Plus it's very bigger. 



I have got Iphone 5S and in my opinion this size is the best one. I have had this mobile for one month now. I really like IOS system. Only Iphones mobile have got this system. The camera has a better quality than the other mobiles that I used to have.

One disadvantage of this system is that you have to pay for some apps applications but there are cheap. Another disadvantage is taht in Iphones mobiles you can't put a memory card. So each Iphone model has its own memory. You can chose how many GB you want in your mobile. However, the more GB, the more expensive. 



Since they started making the first iphone in 2007, they have made 10 models until now. Last year, they created the Iphone 5C that is the improved version of the Iphone 5 but with worse material so that's why it's cheapper and people can afford it. As well, people like it because it's very colorful. Although, nowadays there are new models in the market people still buys Iphone 5C.


REVIEW: IN TIME

In time is an American film of science fictions mainly and intrigue too. The director is Andrew Niccol and the protagonists are Justin Timberlake (Will Salas) and Amanda Seyfried (Sylvia Weis). This film premiered October 28th of 2011. 

Synopsis:                                                                                                       


In a future society in 2161, people can live without complications and grew up until the age of 25 years old. Then, they stop ageing and they have only a year of time to live so they have to work to earn time. All it's paid by time since luxuries until necessities. Rich people can live forever but the other people have to negotiate each minute of their life and the poor people die young. Will Salas, the main character is a poor young boy of 28 years old. In the beginning of the film her mother die because her time ends. One day, Will meet in a bar some boys who are trying to steal the time to a rich man, Will help him and this man express her gratitude giving all of this years while Will is slepping. When he wakes up he has a million of years in his counter. He go to the rich part of the city meanwhile police followed his because they think that Will has stolen that time.

First of all she is angry but at the end she fall in love for him.                                                  
I have seen this film three times that I remembered. I have chosen this film because although be an old film I really like it. I recommend you to look it if you don't see this film before. I specially like the plot because I think that's very original. The effects are very good too.

YOUR-SAY: DOUBLE-CHECK IN WHATSAPP

First of all, I think that this new option of WhatsApp is a nonsense because before, you could know if your message had been read, looking at the last connection of the contact. As well, you can know if your message had been sent it had one check, and had been received it had double check. 

Secondly, to my mind It's useful in the WhatsApp groups because in this way you can see who has read your message and who hasn't. Before, in a group you couldn't know it. 
In the audios, the blue double-check used in the past to know if the contact had listened the audio. 

I think that this can have problems because there are people that are very obsessed looking at their whatsapp all the time and with this new option it will be more catching for them. Moreover, people can get angry if they know that their message had been read and the contact didn't answer them.

However, technician of Whatsapp are working because you can deactivate this option like you can do with deactivate the last connection. But if you decide that the other people don't know when you had read the messages you can't know if yours had been read. I personally think that you can chose activate or deactivate this option is a good idea.
