Wok Restaurant

Figueres

Dir Sir or Madam,

I am writing in order to explain my experience having lunch last week. I am very dissapointed with your meat and the hygiene of the local. 

First of all, when I arrived I found food sticked in chairs. Then, the glass was so dirty. When I saw that, I told there imperfections to the waiter but he did not attend me. 

In the other hand, speaking about the meat I found that tasted so bad. I do not know if this was rotten or was of an animal that I never eat. 

At this point, I request us that do a revision of the restaurant. 

Your faithfully,

Maria Sánchez

HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are the rights you have simply because you are human. They were created in 1945 by the United Nations (New York) and there are 30 human rights. 

I choose the 26th human right to talk about it. This is the right to education and it says the following things: 

• Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. 
• Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
• Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

Words of the video: annoying - molest/irritant

This human right is respected in some countries and violated in the others. For example: in the developing countries, there isn't this right. Children don't go to school because the odds are that there aren't schools. However, if there are probably they can't go because they have to work in order to survive him and their family. A developing country's school is very different than a school in a developed country. This is the other hand, where the right of education is respected. In the developed countries all the children go to school in a private or public, but they can go to some school. I think that this right would have to be respected in all the world because education is very important. With the education, children can have their own opinion of the world, is more difficult trick him... It will be nice that some volunteer will go to these countries in order to teach the children even if be the most basic things.                               

EDUCATION IS THE KEY, SCHOOL IS THE LOCK

"Now let me tell you something your parents will tell you: Make me proud, icreases your chances of getting a job, provides you an opportunity to be successful, your life will be a lot less stressful, education is the key". 

I choose this paragraph because I agree with that our parents tell us this, but I don't agree with what the paragraph says. Society says the same too. Parents think that if you have a degree you will be more successful in life and this isn't true. If you don't like study you can go to work in order to win money and maybe you will be able become a very important person like Steve Jobs. This famous man is an uneducated man. You can make your parents proud without having a degree. Another thing to comment is that having a degree is not synonym that getting a job related to your studies. However, if you are an educated person you have more opportunities for getting a whatever job. Finally, is not true that if you are an educated person your life will be less stressful. People who works having a degree or not can be stressful in the same way. However, studying is not easy and is so stressful. 

NEWS: FOSSIL REPTILE DISCOVERY "SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY"

A newly discovered 250-million-year-old fossil reptile from Brasil gives an extraordinary insight into life just before the dinosaurs appeared. The reptile named Teyujagua is the close relative of a group that gave rise to dinosaurs, crocodiles and birds. As the scientists say the fossil is "beautiful" and fills an evolutionary gap. 

Dr. Richard Butler from the University of Birmingham said the animal is a new species that hasn't been previously known. A study published in the journal Scientific Reports says: "It'svery close to the ancestry of a very important group of reptiles called archosauriforms".

This ancient reptile lived just after a mass extinction event 252 million years ago. About 90% of the species were lost, creating a place for other animals like Teyujagua. The reptile and its close relatives became the dominant animals on the land and eventually gave rise to the dinosaurs. Teyujagua was a small crocodile-like animal that probably lived at the side of lakes, feeding on fish. 

Dr. Felipe Pinheiro, from Universudade Federal do Pampa, is one of the three scientists who discovered the well-preserved fossil skull near the southern city of São Francisco de Assis. He said that the discovery was really exciting and they known that they had something extraordinary in their hands. Teyujagua is different from other fossils from the same era. 
    

My opinion:

I'm not a scientist girl, but when I read the news I consider it very interesting because talks about the beginning of the world and the origin of the dinosaurs. I didn't know that before dinosaurs there were others species. I always think that dinosaurs were the first SPECIES in the world.

NEWS: AUSCHWITZ SURVIVOR IS WORLD'S OLDEST MAN

According to the Guinness World Records organisation a survivor of the Auschwitz death camp is now the world's oldest man. This man is called Yisrael Kristal and is 112 years old. He was born near Zarnow in Poland in 1903 and lived throught two world wars. 

When he received his Guinness World Records certificate, said: 

"I don't know the secret for long life, I believe that everything is determined from above". "There have been smarter, stronger and better looking men than me who are no longer alive" he added. 

He has a hard life. During the World War was separated from his parents. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany in 1939, he and his family were moved into a ghetto. He lost his two children and later, he and his wife were sent to Auschwitz in 1944 after the ghetto was liquidated. His wife was murdered in Auschwitz and he was the sole survivor from his family. When he was found weighed just 37 kg. In 1950 emigrated to Israel with his second wife and their son. 

His daughter said the Holocaust had not affected her father's beliefs. The Auschwitz death camp was built in 1940. About one million Jews were killed at the camp. Victims included disabled people, homosexuals, dissidents...

My opinion:
I think that this man is a very big fighter. Not for the longest age that he has, if not for all he has lived. He has all my respects. Leave from a death camp is really difficult, the most of people die, but he can survive. Another thing is looking how your family dies, I couldn't. He is very stronger too talking about his memories because there are people who never want to talk about horrible things like this.

NEWS: WHATSAPP TO END BLACKBERRY OS SUPPORT

WhatsApp is to end support for a number of old operating systems such as Blackberry 10 because the company wanted to focus development on the mobile platforms that the majority of people use. WhatsApp will stop working on these old operating systems by December 2016. 

The reason for dropping support of these operating systems is that they're no longer updated or installed on new devices. The company of Blackberry said that they are actively exploring alternatives for BlackBerry users once the support of WhatsApp ends in late 2016. This operating system accounts for less than 1% of the market. To the contrary, when WhatsApp started in 2009 about 70% of smartphones sold had operating systems by BlackBerry and Nokia. 

This is the full list of operating systems that WhatsApp will stop suporting:

• Android 2.1 and Android 2.2
• Blackberrt OS 7 and earlier
• Blackberry 10
• Nokia S40
• Nokia Symbian S60
• Windows Phone 7.1

My opinion:                                                                                                                             
I don't agree with that these mobiles which work with an "old" operating system don't have the support by WhatsApp. There are people who can't buy a new next generation mobile and with their old mobiles are so happy. This is only to do business and for self-interest.
