Dear United Nations Environment Programe Comitee,

I'm writing to share a concern about environment and nature protect.

Society is trying to instill people to be healthy, but ... humans can be healthy, but we still depend of a major structure, a patriarch, the environment.

People can stop dirtying their lungs with tobacco smoke, can drink mineral water, can cut down forests to have fields and can build houses with more modern heating and electricity for the winter.

However, we are polluting the air our breathe with more toxic pollutants than tobacco, we are dirtying the rivers where someday we will take the water that us drink, we are eliminating the habitat of thousands of animals and plants that produce the oxygen to breathe and we are spending resources making a dirty energy full of wastes.

We are blind and can't see that we are killing his own mother? When we will look back and see where we came from and who sustains us?

With this worry and faithfully,


Elvira Fina

HUMAN RIGHTS

I have made 35 correct answers in the quiz, now I will try to answer the questions.

1. What are human rights?
The more extended definition is that the human rights are "the inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being."

2. Why were they created?
They were created to avoid the big tragedies of humanity.

3. How many human rights are there?
There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.
I choose the Article 7: "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination."

I think this article is respected with the most part of the population, ordinary people. In my opinion isn't respected when the accused is an important man or woman, or they have sympathy with the government... see Camps, Urdangarin...

MY IDEAL PARTNER

My ideal partner has to live closer to my town to be able to see him often and should be similar age to share interests.

I like men taller than me, broad-shouldered and well-built. He sould do occasionally sport to be fit. I'm not interested in pale-skinned and very thin men. I like long curly brown-haired with fair eyes, but that's not essential.

After these physical interests I have to say that for me is more important that my partner has an open-mind, can be patient and rather tender, but he has to leave me a bit of independence when I need it, definitely I can't be with a man that's always controlling me and saying what I can or can't do. If you are these type of man be aware! You have to be interested in nature and trekking and accept my passion for animals.

In conclusion, maybe, my ideal partner may be a dog. I know that a perfect man is impossible to find. In my view everyone has negative things and the better way to solve them isn't pretending to change them, but accepting and thinking that is his personal personality. All that stuff is what does a person different, and you fall in love with all man, with positive and negative things. We all have a dark side!

JOKE

Not very good... but that's my joke:




If you can't understand me that's the transcription:

There are two grains of sand walking in the desert and one says to the other:
- Hey, I think that someone is following us...

INFORMAL DIALOGUE

That's the informal dialogue that Nuria, Lydia and I made about plastic surgery.

N - I want a new nose.

E - How do you want it?

L - Wait! Wait! Can’t you see that you don’t need it?

E - Chill out girl! Why do you want a new nose?

N – It’s obvious! It destroys my face. Because of it I can’t get a job, a boyfriend…

L – Shut up!

Doctor, you can see she’s obsessed, can't you?

E – Maybe she is, but this type of operations can change people’s lives.

N - Please, please, please… I nearly dropped out of my job as a journalist cause I am ashamed be on TV with IT in the middle of the face.

E – Oh! You work on TV? You must have a good image to do it. I’ve operated a lot of people who work there.

L – OMG!!! You only want her cash. You are a fucking corrupt!

N – He’s right Lydia, my nose is horrible! GET OUT! He understands me better! You aren’t my friend.

L – It’s your life and it’s your nose. But remember that he who laughs last laughs best!

E – She’s crazy. I can so that you can get what do you want. C’mon, go to see this nose… And your boobs…

N – Yep! Can you see it? What do you think?...

MAIL TO TEACHER

My dreams?

Well, now a short-term dream for me is pass the batxillerat with a good mark and can enter in genethic studies in the university.
I want to study it because I think that's the science of the future. I want to modify children when they are cells to borrow important mistakes on their ADN (that can cause important illness for example) and improve their live quality in the future.
Another way is solve genethic illness in adult people or do specific pills for every different person with the same illness.

A long-term dream I want to live in a farmhouse on the mountains with dogs and horses and where I can walk near nature and recolect mushrooms in autum and... of course where every winter fall a lot of snow. I love cold weather!!

I think that I fit in my dream and the studies that I want to do and I want to be useful for the society.

Sorry for the mistakes.

See you!

CAN WE LIVE WITHOUT HUMOUR?

Humour is everyday in our lives: TV, radio, friends... but can we defend that is necessary for our lives? Maybe the world without humour will be more boring but we still be living.

Humour help us not care about the problems around us. If we aren't happy our life quality isn't in the floor, is in the underground! There are a lot of psicologists who are saying that them patients now wants to be happy with themselves. Now, people who are not ill or have big problems with their lives go to the psicologist because for the present society the felicity is very important: people who can made laught anothers have more possibilities to have an important site in one job because people like them.

But... I'm doing this writing and I don't like it, it isn't humour in this situation, and I'm still living! I can breath and speak with somebody. In conclusion, I think that humour is important because we have put importance on it.
