Electric scooter design that makes a hole lot of sense

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130714-hole-new-design-for-scooters

This news item talks about a new scooter which has a few advantages over actual scooters.

These new electric scooters are created by Lit Motors, a small company based in San Francisco, California.  These electric scooter are perfect for carrying cargo, it has come up with a design that it says should be safe, more efficient, more useful but not more expensive.

In my opinion it’s a good project because a lot of people carry too much weight on their scooters. The principal problem I think is the motorbike isn’t so big and these people haven’t got a car so that’s why I think inventing this scooter is a perfect thing for us. Moreover it’s electric so that’s why it doesn’t contaminate, for me this is one of the best part of this invention and the other part that I like so much is the price, it’s more o less the same as a normal scooter. In conclusion it’s a big invention because has a lot of improvements over a normal scooter and the price is more o less the same. 

The medicine in our minds

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26191713

This news talk about the miracle pills which in reality shouldn’t do anything. Placebos are in all shapes and sizes, they contain no active ingredient but mysteriously they often work.

Paul explains that he doesn’t do anything without his medication, without it he doesn’t have enough dopamine to start to do things in his life. A few years ago, Paul took part in a test that Prof Stoessl was conducting, it required him to stop taking his medication. The next day Paul went to the hospital and explained his symptoms in full flare-up.

My opinion about this news is that I think for some people medicine is more psychological than other thing, and this in our society is a problem because every day the medicine is more expensive and we can’t throw away the money in this way. 

A criticism of apple

Well today I will make a criticism of apple because I think nowadays more and more people have problems with their phones which belong to apple's company. I was talking to somebody days ago because my iphone has a small variation with the wifi, it doesn't works. People told me that they have the same problem, or other problems for example the screen doesn't respond and they have to reboot their iphone and a few things...

Some people commented to me that years ago it didn't happen and apple isn't the same as they were before. Nowadays apple is very popular and their phones have a very good record so that's why people talk very well about them. I think this is the principal cause why apple dowsn't make the same phones that they did at the beginning. They increase a lot, and have a lot of phones every day so that's why they can't make the phones which they had at the beginning. 

short holidays

This winter I did a short holiday which I hadn't done for two years. I went to Andorra basically for ski but moreover to buy something in the city.

This year, the weather wasn't so good that's why I couldn't enjoy myself as I wanted. It was snowing from Saturday at twelve o'clock until I left Andorra. However I skied Saturday and Sunday and the snow was so good because there was a lot of snow but the problem was that I couldn't see very well because my glasses were fogging up all the time... On the other hand the shops in Andorra have change a lot since the last time that I went. The prices have risen a lot but there are a few cheaper than in Spain. The principal problem of this rise is that years ago in Andorra there wasn't IVA and now there is so that's why the prices have rise a little. 

In conclusion, I enjoyed this weekend a lot. The other thing that I din't like is that when I was coming to Spain there was a lot of traffic and we took a longtime arrive home. Another thing that I hate is that I have a heavy cold and I have hurt my back. 

What's the best way to learn English?

Well today I will talk about a subject which we talked a little about the last day in my class and I think it’s very interesting because nobody has the same idea.  Some people said that listening is the best thing, others grammatical and a few speaking is the best thing.

In my opinion it depends on what you are looking for, if you want to get a good mark in selectivity I think the programme that we do in the school isn’t bad. In my opinion it’s very difficult to prepare classes in English for twenty people more o less because nobody has the same level. I think if you want to do the first exam or advance o some official exam you have to do private English classes because in the school the level isn’t sufficient to do these exams but I think it’s impossible because is impossible to prepare good classes for people who haven’t the same level.

In conclusion, the best way to learn English I think depends a lot on what you are searching, if you want to learn to speak the language the best thing that you can do is to go to England a few weeks, if you want to learn English to write emails and other things the private classes are the best thing. And that’s all, this is my opinion. 

Indonesia volcano Sinabung in deadly eruption

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-25999333

This news is about a volcano which has erupted in Indonesia’s western island of Sumatra. Months ago, in September it began to rumble. The volcano was dormant for three years.

In its explosion the volcano spewed clouds of hot ash into the air, engulfing nearby villages. In this disaster eleven people died; among the dead was a group of schoolchildren who were on a trip.

My opinion about this, is first of all that I’m sorry for all the families… On the other hand I’m sorry for Indonesia, Indonesia has lost a lot of things because the volcano destroyed a lot of things. We can’t do anything to fight against the disasters…Once again, I’am sorry for Indonesia. 

Research project: the study of shifting gear

Key words: gear, shifting gears, first gear, axis parallel, axis perpenicular, transmission by chain. 

 This research project is about the gears and the study of shifting gears. It's divided into a theory and a practice part. 

The theory part consists of what the gear is, characteristics of a gear, the transmission of movement about gears, and the mathematical calculs which you have to do to find the characteritics about one particular gear or example the tooth height,, the module... After you can see the different gears that you can search; are divided the situation of its axis if it wa parallel or perpendicular, in special applications and transmission by chain. And the last part of the theory part consisted of what a shifting gear is, which parts it has, what kinds of shifting gears they are and what their characteritics are and the last thing that you can see is the operating to shifting gear which has two axis. 

On the other hand the practice part basically consisted of opening an original shifting gear and doing a mathematical study abut it. The purpose of  mathematical study is to calculate the progress of the speed that my car does when you apply the different gears. 

Millions of passwords and email details stolen in Germany

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25825784

This news talks about that in Germany the passwords and other details of sixteen million email users have been stolen. The scale of this attack is equivalent to a fifth part of the German population being at risk. 

They think that the most of the targeted lives were in Germany, so the German Federal Office of Security has set up a website where people can check if they are a victim of this crime. 

My opinion about it is that it's sad for the people who are a victim of this crime. I feel sad for them but I can't do anything, the technology is more intelligent than all of us. In my opinion peple who do this with techonolgy, if they could see the things to improve our society I'm sure that wouldn't do it anymore..but unfortunately I think the people who do it never had the vision that I have of the world...
