DAILY DIET

The goal of diet is to learn a new way of eating complete and with all the necessary nutrients, not only to reduce weight but to have a healthy life and maintain a healthy weight.
In order to address any type of diet in an efficient manner, the important thing is to respect the four meals, although the idea is to make five meals a day.
One of the most important meal is breakfast, and the food that must be included:

-General-Dairy(milk, yogurt, cheese, combined with cereals which provide proteins of high biological value, calcium, iron and zinc.
-Flaked cereals, crackers on bread are a good vehicle for energy and provide carbohydrates to th diet and help to the presence of glucose.
-Fruit and juices: To provide water-soloble vitamins needed by the body (these do not accumulate in the body) and must be incorporated daily. These also help the work of the intestine and digestive organs

Great Americans

Pocahontas was born arround 1595 in Virginia.
When she was a child, she lived in the same place where she was born.
She didn,t go to school or, at least, not the kind of school we go to today.
She was a native american, the daughter of a chief, and she bacame famous because she saved the life of John Smith, an English colonist.
She got married to another colonist, with whon she travelled to England, where she bacame a celebrity.She had one child, a son called Thomas.
She died in England in march 1617, at the age of 21.

SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES

I do not agree with the prohibition of smoking in public bars, because earlier there were seatting areas for other smokeers. Smoking in earlier times was not banned. They do not leave smoking areas in the restaurant, for example. But now restaurants make less money than before, and the bos has to pay all the employees and there will be more unemployement.

TV

I couldn´t live without it! The TV makes life so much more interesting. I think that I would be lost without the TV.

With the TV I can watch football games, I can watch the news, It is essential. Some people think that the TV is a stupid box, but in my opinion it is a good investion. I depend on it because at the weekends I watch films on it.

Public transport

Public transport is today a big option of travelling, however, it has a lot of disadvantages.
On the one hand, public transport has many advantages, for example, it is cheap, because you do not have to pay the fuel or the things that public transport needs. Another advantage is that public transport pollutes less than a private car.
On the other hand, disadvantages are, for example, you depend on a timetable.
Futhermore buses are very slow and you may arrive late. In my opinion, public transport has got more advantages than disadvantages but it might be cheaper.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN THE FIELD OR IN THE CITY

Living in a city is today essential. However living in the country is good too.On the one hand, in a city you have everything you need very near home. Nevertheless, in the country, if you need a supermarket, for example, you have to travel several kilometres to find one. Also in a city there are more possibilities to get a job than in the country.
On the other hand, living in the country offer you a lot of advantages, for example, you have more peace and you can enjoy the landscape. However, in the city the traffic makes a lot of noise and you can not enjoy the landscape. In my opinion,it is better to live in a city, because all my friends are here.

Madrid

Madrid is famous for its beautiful moseums. Madrid hasn´t got fantastic air quality as in the countryside. There are a lot of monuments to see and a lot of museums to visit. Madrid has got very good museums. People in Madrid are very kind and pleasant. Madrid hasn´t got a beach but it has got a lot of swimming pools, where, in Summer everybody can go to swim. Madrid is a very cosmopolitan city. It´s time to come here and enjoy it.

Describe your daily diet.

My daily diet is very healthy, because I eat some vegetables and take three different kinds of fruit every day in every three meals breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Every morning, I get up and I have some bacon and eggs, some fruit and orange juice for breakfast. Sometimes I have a sandwich for lunch. I have a principal dish, a side dish and one of my three daily kinds of fruit. After lunch, I sleep for one hour to rest for a while.
In the afternoon, I often eat some biscuits and chocolate milkshake.
At night, I have a big salad with some chips for dinner. I have my last piece of fruit of the day as desert. Sometimes I also drink a glas of milk.
In conclusion, my daily diet helps to keep me fit every day apart from doing sports and thinking in Maths class and other subjects in my school.

SMOKING IS GOOD OR BAD?

Some people think that smoking is not dangereous. In my opinion, smoking can
produce a lot of illnesses like lung cancer and so on. Hoever, a lot of people in the
world smoke continiously until they die. Other people think that smoking only a few cigarettes a day is good, because it can help the heart to work better later.
People who are desesperate feel better after smoking and if those people
smoke another cigarrette they even fell better, so they are addit people. For addict people smoking can keep them calm for a moment.
People smoke because that makes them feel free, and they like the flawour of tobacco but it is not good for their lives and for the society.

Care of the body is an obsession?

Many people want to lose weight to look better, to look more attractive, to be slimmer in the summer. Sometimes it can become an obsession with the topic of food, but it's rewarding for them.
I think it's important to take care of your health, but should not be an obsession.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE

My favourite place is Palencia, because there are a lot of important museums, the gothic cathedral... Palencia is a very old city that was very important in Medieeval time for trade. Nowadays, Palencia is not a very important city, but it’s small a a peaceful town. The river that crosses Palencia is the Carrión river, which is good to enjoy fishing.In Palencia there is not an airport, as it isn’t necessary, because there is a main train station, a bus station, and in case you need you can use a taxi.
Palencia is a provincial town, with only 80.000 habitants, but if you go there you will have a lot of thins to do every day and there are places in Palencia where you can enjoy yourself. From my point of view, small cities like Palencia are better to live in than big cities like Madrid or Barcelona.
ROBERTO VAS CARBALLO

A daily diet

My daily diet has got two main basis, the first thing is to do some open air exercise every day, and the second is eat healthy food. With this diet you will certainly lose weight slowly, but you have persist in doing that diet for a long time.
This is the diet recomended by scientist and nutriotional experts.

Miracle Cures to Lose Weight

There are plenty of miracle cures to lose weight, and sometimes it is a waste of time. I think that losing weight is a waste of time, and sometimes diets make you eat badly. Some diets can cause depression or even in some cases they can lead you to a coma. I recomend people to take it seriusly, to go to a doctor for advice, and to eat five times a day, for example, some fruit, chicken, fish and vegetables. It is no advisable to eat hamburguers, or pizzas, or junk food, as you will never loose any kilos.
To be fit, we should do some jogging at list for an hour every day, because if you play some sport you will feel healthier, and you will lose some kilos more rapidly.
In conclusion, you should go to a doctor and ask for a healthy diet and play some sport.

Miracle cures for weight loss are a waste of time

I think that many people want to have a perfect body, and good look. They like the rest of the people to look them, and say: ¡Oh, look that guy or girl!
This is because of the fashion and models, and it isn't so good.
I think that people, if they want to lose weight, they have to do a lot of sport, and eat corretly.
I think that some of the diets are a waste of time and money, and I think that people must be more intelligent, and not to be so influence by the television and the adverts which promise you lose weight, and it can be so dangerous for your health.

Describe your daily diet.

I'm going to describe my daily diet. When I wake up, I eat some eggs and a lot juice. I'm not a normal person because I eat five or six times a day. Before having breakfast I usually eat one or two kinds of fruit, when I go to my job, I drink my special drink, which has a lot proteins and carbonhydrate. At two o'clock I stop working and go to have lunch, I normally eat at home, and I take it after my job. Before I go my home and I try to relaxing in my favourite room, while I'm listening to my last meal, my dinner. This is my day and this is my diet.
ROBERTO VAS CARBALLO

Shall me keep pets at home?

Pets are a good company at home, because you can always be with them. You can also get to walk while doing the shopping but they also have their needs.
Pets at home often don´t bother, and less if they are birds or mice that are in cages.
I´d like to have a pet but my parents won´t let me. Three years ago I had a turtle and a hamster, but they died. The animal I would most like to have in my house is a dog, but I can´t. When I have my own house, I will have one or more pets because I love animals and they make me company.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN A RENTED FLAT

Living in a rented flat is a good option when you haven´t got money.
On the one hand, the advantage of living in a rented flat is that you can do whatever you want at any time, because you live alone and you can invite your friends at home without asking permission from anyone. Another advantage is that you can get up whenever you want, and see whatever you would like to choose on TV.
On the other hand, the disadvantages of living in a rented flat is that you have to cook, because nobody can cook for you. Another disadvantage is that you can´t live with your family and there will be a lot of things you'll have to do alone.
In conclusion, I don´t want to live in a rented flat, I prefer to live in a house with my family.

Erik Satie

Erik Satie(1866-1925) a French composer, was born in Honfleur (Normandy). He studied at the School of Music in Paris and worked as a pianist in a cafe. Between 1880 and 1890 he composed many works for piano, among which stand out Gymnopédies (1888) and Gnossiennes (1890). He understood that his knowledge of counterpoint was not strong enough,so when he was 40 he decided to study with the French composer Vincent d'Indy, and Albert Roussel at the Schola Cantorum.
He returned to composition, mainly dealing with piano works, often well above with titles that seemed to have connection with surreal music, for example, Flasques préludes pour chien United Nations (1913), Burocratique Sonatine (1917) and three Morceaux en Forme of Poire (1903, for piano four hands) and they are really six pieces for piano.
He was against the lead character and complexity of the music of his time, and he was also an innovator in the use of certain harmonic resources, all these set the future trend of French music.

Your Home Has Been Rrobbed. Burglars went into your home while you were inside.

One day in October, I was alone at home. My parents had gone away to New York.
I was watching a horror film. When the film had finished, I heard a noise that was coming from the kitchen. I was frightened. I said 'hello', but nobody answered me.I called the police immediately, and they told me that in 5 minutes they will be coming to my home.
I thought that I didn't have enough time and the thieves would kill me. The thieves come to my room, and I took my guitar and hit them. When the police were in my house they arrested the thieves.
Later on, I called my parents and I told the story to them. They came back as soon as they could, so they took the first flight to Spain from New York.

ADVANTAGES AND DISVANTAGES OF LIVING IN A RENTED FLAT

Linving in a rented flat can have some advantages and disavantages. I don't live in a rented flat, but in my opinion it has more advantages because it is cheaper than if you buy a house or flat. If your life is boring, you can change the flat, and go to another place.
Young people can't buy a house because they don't have any money, as they only have to study a lot, and don't have time to work. The disavantagesare are that you have to live with another family, and you only have one room, you can't make any noise or another things. It is better to livi in yuor parents home.
In a rented flat, if you are young, is better to live this way, but if you weren't twenty, it would be better to buy a house. When I get older, I'm not going to live in a rented house, because I don't like this way.

Roberto Vas Carballo

Advantages and disadvantages of living in a rented flat

-Living in a rented flat can have some advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion it has more advantages than disadvantages, but it depends widely on people's personality. Now I'm going to examine these aspects carefully.

-There are some advantages of living in a rented flat, for example, it is cheaper than buying a house, you can move to another house when you want, it makes possible that young people become emancipated earlier, you don't have to buy the furniture, if somehing doesn't work you don't have to pay for it and you don't have to fulfill a hard contract with the bank to obtain a mortgage.
Dosadvantages are that you don't have your own house for the rest of your life, and if you need some money you can't sell it to obtain profits. You won't be as comfortable as in your own home, you can be fired when the owner wants to, and you can't decorate the walls or the floor the way you like.

-In conclusion, to my opinion it is better living in a rented flat because it has more advantages.

TATTOOS.

In present society tattooed people aren´t fully accepted, because people think a tattooed person is strange and eccentric.
Tattooed people conform a kind of life and a different ideology. The great part of society don´t accepted this kind of people, but I think they are going to be accepted.
I like tattoos very much, and I’m thinking of getting a tattoo on my left arm. I like dragons and other forms to tattoos, and I don´t thing it differentiate any person.
In conclusion, I think tattooed people are going to be accepted in a near future, and they are integrated in the present and future society.

RENTED FLATS

Flats, in some cities are more expensive and smaller than in other cities. Rented flat have got advantages and disadvantages.
Sometimes flats are built in old buildings and they have got a lot of problems; but other flats are placed in new buildings. These flats have got better conditions than the other flats, but sometimes these are more expensive and smaller than the previous one.
The advantages of living in flats are that you don´t have to clean and tidy much, and normally they are very comfortable.
Surely, I will go to live in a rented flat, because I think that the situation would be more comfortable.

KEEP YOUR HOUSE LOCKED

When you go out at the weekend, you may be stolen.
If you don´t relay on alarms or police, you have to stay at home at the weekends, so you could keep your house. But I think that if you live in a quiet place, you mustn´t be worried about a robbery.

I think that you have to buy an alarm and have it installed in your house. That way you will ser your proerty out of danger and prevent it from being robbed. In my opinion you could go out at weekends without any worry. Otherwise, you won´t enjoy your free time.
In conclusion, you should go out at weekends, you should enjoy this time, and look after your health as well.

Should people stop going away during the weekends in order to prevent robberies?

I think that people shouldn't stop going away to prevent thieves from robberies, because in this way we won't obtain anything. The burglars are going to enter in your house though you are there.
For this reason, I think it will be better that you decide other options, because the other days of the week you have to go to your job and you have to leave your home.
Another option that you can take is, that your letters are caught or your blinds are down by your neighbours. Then also you musn't tell everybody that you will travel. In addition, you can do other things, like put on the radio, switch on a light, install an alarm, etc. With these activities you can prevent thieves from entering and stealing in your house.
In conclusion, I think that staying at home doesn't make sense, because in this way you are limiting your life, and you are worrying without any reason.

BURGLARS MOVE IN at THE WEEKEND

Nobody wants to be robbed and everyone tries to do something to prevent that sort of situations, but being afraid all the time is not the solution.
Staying at home every weekend just to avoid leaving the house empty is not a good idea, because doing that maybe thieves won't steal our properties but they will steal our time and freedom.
We must live our house without fear, it doesn't mean that we don't have to worry about.
Taking some basic precautions about it such as lock all doors and windows and ask some hell about to take a look from time to time should be enough.

Burglars Break Into at the Weekend

Nowadays people go away during the weekends very often and burglars take this opportunity to steal in houses. I think people shouldn't stay at home in order to prevent burglary.
Fisrstly, if people stay at home to prevent it, burglars may come to their houses and hit them, and it is the same case as if the owners didn't stay in. Secondly, you can't live thinking all the time that some thieves are going to steal in your home, because in that case you wouldn't go out of home, you wouldn't be able to see new places, you wouldn't visit any museums or even your family, and you would be an obssesive person.
Finally, robberies can be comitted at any moment, for example, when you go to work or when you have to visit the doctor, so there is no sense in staying at home during the weekends.
In conclusion, people should go away at the weekend to enjoy their life, and have fun visiting museums, climbing, skiing, going to the beach, going abroad...

Your home has been robbed. Burglars went into your home while you were inside.

Some months ago, I was reading in my bed in a Saturday's morning when somebody called at the door. I thought that if it was my mother, she had her own key, and if it was someone else, I wasn't giong to open, because I was alone in my pyjamas. But the door was knocked at again, and again so I went to see who he was by the spyhole. I looked out of the window, but I didn't know who he was, so I didn't open. Suddenly, the boy started to push the door and he introduced a X-ray picture in the door frame, and that way he could open the door! He was coming into my house when he realised that someone was inthere. Then, he ran quickly downstairs. I told to the comunity of residents to be aware. That was a very frightening experience.

BIOGRAPHY

LADY DI : Diana Frances Spencer

Diana, Princess of Wales, (Diana Frances; née Spencer; 1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. Her sons, Princes William and Harry, are second and third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom and fifteen other Commonwealth Realms.

A public figure from the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles, Diana remained the focus of worldwide media scrutiny before, during and after her marriage. This continued in the years following her death in a car crash and in the subsequent display of public mourning. Contemporary responses to Diana's life and legacy were mixed but popular interest with the Princess endures. The Coroner's Inquest reported its conclusion on 7 April 2008 that Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed were unlawfully killed by the negligent driving of Henri Paul, the driver of the Mercedes in which she was travelling, and by the pursuing paparazzi.

Shall we keep pets at home?

I think we musn't keep pets at home, because pets, like us, are racional animals and they'd prefer to live in their natural environment.

In fact, on the 6th January, the three Magic Kings left at my little sister's shoes three goldfish. They're in a small receptable and they're moving all the time, so they're not confortable enough. I think they're going to die, but everytime I say that, my little sister starts crying, so I don't say that any more.

Maybe the animals which will live very well at their homes with a human family, but I think they can't be happy at all.

Everybody needs company from their same kind, included animals.

Smoking in Public Places

-People usually smoke in public places, so they don't mind other people.
-In my opinion, smoking in public places is a bad habit, because smoking cigarettes is unhealthy and produces a lot of pollution in the room. If you smoke, you will probably have a lung cancer or other similar illness. Furthermore, you may disturb someone and you could cause him some trouble. For example, in my case (I'm asthmatic) or in to a pregnant woman, the smoke of cigarettes could be very unhealthy. Smoking should be forbidden in order to protect her baby, because smoking cigarettes could put her health in danger. Nowadays, smoking is forbidden everywhere (in public and private places).
-In conclusion, I agree with all these prohibitions because it is better for our health, both active and passive smokers.

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Nuclear energy has got a very bad reputation, but it is the most widely used.

Nuclear energy is more efficient than other types of energy such as fosile fuel. People think it is dangerous. The nuclear waste is more dangerous than a nuclear energy plant. Nuclear waste is active for around 500.000 years. But it depends on the radioactivity degrees. There are three levels: high, medium and low radioactivity. In the first level it is uranium, in the second level is contaminated water, and there are staf in the third level where they are wearing staf´s clothes.

In my opinion nuclear energy is the most efficient and secure. I don´t like it because the nuclear waste. People do not trust nuclear energy, because it has happened many nuclear catatrophes in the world, Three Mile Islands, USA, Chernobyl,Ukraine, although they have been caused by human errors.

No Smoking in Public Places

Some businessmen now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. This is a good idea though it takes away some of our freedom.
As we know, smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to those who are around. Smoking can lead to many diseases, such as lung cancer. Smoking affects non smokers more than it does to smokers. Ratio of passive smokers getting ill is higher than that of smokers. So, many nonsmokers are against smoking.
In public places the harm of smoking is greater. This is connected with another effect of smoking. That is, smoking pollutes environment by giving much poisonous vapour off into the air.
Therefore, that the government ban smoking is necessary and it mmatters to us. It is a measure to protect ours and the other's health. So many people, especially nonsmokers, are in favour ot that policy.
Some people say that it takes away some of our freedom. I think it is a one-side view. If a peson wants to smoke, he may smoke in private, not in the public places. In fact, smokers still have the freedom of smoking. But, I think, smokers had better give up smoking, not only in private places, but also in the public places, and everywhere. It will be beneficial to all of us.

Nuclear VS Renewable Energy

I think nuclear energy is useful fo everyone and it is also an energy that has many disadvantages as it can damage the environment.
On the one hand without nuclear energy we could not have all the technologies that we have now. But nueclear energy can damage the environment in the near future. Although we don't take any notice, but the damage will occur within a certain time and people don't want to cause any harm to their children. Due to the excessive harm of nuclear energy the best option would be to use renewable energy, but today it would be very expensive to use it

SUPERHERO

Bear Grills is a person who(m) I admire the most, because he is the best survival in the world.

He is making a TV programme, which is based on teaching how to survive in places far from civilization, and in extreme weather conditions. He goes to the jungle or travels to the desert, and he tries to be alive with anything he can see or he can transform. He eats insects, he collects plants, and cuts raw meat, so as to prepare his food.

I think he is an example of bravery, and he remembers me of the behaviour of our ancestors.
