YOUR-SAY: LONG DISTANCES MAKE OR BREAK RELATIONSHIPS

I will talk about a topic of a discussion that is: "Long distances make or break relationships" which some people agree or disagree with.          

I think that large distances relations are hard to be hold because people really wish to spend as much time as possible with their boyfriend or girlfriend. However, life sometimes makes you take this decisions because of work, family or other life circumstances. 
I think that if you have only 10 days to be with someone, it just makes the experience much more intense because you don't want to miss a second of it. 

I believe that distances are difficult to manage but it also give you the chage to realise if you really love that person or not even you are far away from him or her.

YOUR-SAY: IS THE LAW FAIR?

A few days ago I and the society in general were shocked by the news of a teenager of 13 years old who had murdered his teacher at highschool. Unbelievable but this happened in BCN. 

Personally, I feel that the law must judge and punish this boy although he is under 18 years old. It's seems to me that this boy suffers from a mental illness and he can be very dangerous any moment. I think that he could even repeat the same accident if he is not sent to a special hospital or school. The law in my country says that people under 14 years old can not be judged. I don't agree with it because since he has murdered a person he should be responsible for his actions. 

From my point of view, teenagers should not have guns or other violent objects and not even be allowed to take them at school. Personally, I think that the law in my country should be mpre strict and weapons should not be sold to people under 18 or to people who suffer from a mental illness. 

All in all seems to me that there should be a ligher control at highschools and schools around the world. I think that it is not fair that children die because of this horrible accidents.

NEWS: GERMANWINGS CRASH

Police found that Andreas Lubitz, the man who crashed the plane into the Alpes France, had had a depression. In this flight died 150 people. Several airlines established the rule that in the cockpit there will be two members of the crew all the time. Police took away Lubitz's properties as the computer and boxes. In 2009 Lubitz finished his training but in the middle he had to stop because he was diagnosted serious depressive episode. Police haven't found a suicide note but they have found a black box with a voice recorder. In this audio seems that Mr. Lubitz want to "destroy the plane". When the pilot came back to the toilet and he realised that Lubitz didn't want to open the door, the pilot tried to open it with an axe. Mr Lubitz's parents have double trauma because they have lost their son and this son has killed a lot of people.

PODCAST: DESCRIBE A PHOTO

REVIEW: FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

Fifty shades of Grey is a romantic film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. This film is based on the novel written by the author E.L James. The main protagonists are Jamie Dornon who plays like Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson who plays like Anastasia Steele. It was a film really waited fot the people and its premiere was on the 14th of Frebruary of 2015 in Spain. 

Synopsis: 
Anastasia Steele is a University Student in Washington. Her best friend is Katherine. She works for the collage newspaper. Katherine had to interview a famous business man called Christian Grey but unluckly she was feeling sick and instead she asked her friend Anna to do it fot her. The story starts when Anna is interviewing him and Christian gets interested in her. From now, hey start a relationship but it isn't a usual relationship. Christian is addicted to sado and he looks for a submisive person not a girlfriend. She doesn't really know where she is getting into because she is virgin and she doesn't know much about sex. However, Anna will discover a new amazing world. She will experience a different way of having sex. 


I read the book last summer. I think that the film is not as bas as people say. It's true that the book is better than the film but this always happens if you compared the film with the book. In this case, the film is lighter than the book because the film foccuses on the romantic part. However, the book foccuses on the sex part. The film can't show all it is in the book because it will be a porn film.

I am not dissappointed with the film but I prefer the book instead. I think that the book is richer than the film. I would like to point out the role Dakota plays in the film. I think that se plays the character very well. 

Star Rating: ****


NEWS: US SEX ABUSE SUSPECT DETAINED IN BRAZIL

I choose this news because when I read the tittle I wanted to read all the news. 

Summary:
A man in Brazil was detained last Friday because he was suspected of sexually assaulting young women while they were in a religious group in Minnesota. His name is Victor Barnard and he is fifty-three years old. Is accused of a different violations between 2000 and 2012. 
He used the religion to cover his assaults. He did religious campsites where there were a lot of young women. One woman says that she was sexually abused by him between the ages of 13 and 22. His sentence is maximum 30 years in prison. 

                                                                   source
My opinion:
I hate people like this man. I think that they aren't humans because if you do these things is because you haven't got feelings. If I make the laws, people that rape young girls without their consent don't go out from of prison in their lives.

YOUR-SAY: SCHOOL READERS

Every year, when we start a new school term we have to buy the school books and the readers we need for that year. 

Readers are good for us because this way we read novels. Students don't read much for pleasure. Most of us prefer doing more exciting things than reading such as sailing on the net, going out with friends... When we read we increase our vocabulary and we learn new structures. 

However, I think that two or three books in batxillerat are too many books for us. Because we have got lots of homework, essays and many other things to do along the year. Then, I think that teachers sometimes choose badly. They have to choose a good and especially funny novel because if it is a boring novel, we aren't interesting in read it.  

This year, in batxillerat I don't like the books that we have to read. In my opinion, the worst is "Tirant lo Blanc" because is written in ancient Catalan and it's difficult to read. Apart from this I don't like the plot.
