The last battle

Well the end of the ‘’story’’ that I and my classmates have lived for two years has been reduced to two weeks, the same as ten days or nine exams…

I’m very nervous because these final exams are very important and we have one every day so that’s why we haven’t a lot of time to prepare an exam… The time is enough if you organize yourself well, but for me it’s the just enough time to pass the exam and maybe I need a few marks to do the degree that I want.

In conclusion we haven’t any excuse because all of us are in the same situation and teachers have warned us about the way that we would find the things at the end of second so that’s why we haven’t any excuse. We have to do the best exams that we can, and hope everything goes well…

US economy records bumper jobs growth in April

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-27257760

This news item talks about in US the economy created 288.00 jobs. The big part of these jobs came in professional and business services, which added 75,000 jobs during the month. According to the latest figures from the US Labor Department, there is 6,3% of unemployment and this is the worst. This is the lowest unemployment since 2008…

My opinion about this new is that it-s incredible the way of our world changes… I said this because here there is a big difference between the people who are unemployed. However a 6,3% are a lot of people and I hope in a near future this will change but not only in the US, I hope that this will change around the world. 

Concerns grow in Europe over threat from deadly pig virus

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27256466

This news item talks about in France where people are waiting to suspend pig-related imports from a number of countries, because a there is a big number deadly swine virus… This virus know as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus (PEDv) has killed a big number of pigs around the world.

This virus isn’t harmful for the humans, but France wants to reduce it. The researchers think that the origin of this virus was in France. My opinion about this new is that is very sad for us, because we can’t permit it. Now we are losing a lot of money with this virus but I think very soon we will find a solution. 

Oscar Knox: Mallusk boy 'Wee Oscar' dies after cancer battle

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-27337635

This news talk about Oscar Knox a boy who was 5 years old, who died last Thursday after a fight against cancer which lasted two years…  

Oscar Knox received specialist treatment in October 2012 after his family reached their £250,000 fundraising target to pay for it. After the first diagnosis his parents set up the Twitter account with the finality that found help from the rest of the world. Evidently this account increased very fast, so that’s why his parents could lengthen the battle…

From my point of view, the reaction of the world is the most normal reaction because this family need a little support and with the collaboration of everyone we can do small things that one day will probably become too big things.

Pressure sensors to help prevent pain for amputees

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-26891863

This new talks about researchers who have developed a new pressure sensor, the finality of this sensor consist in preventing possible dangerous sores. If this project, which is being done at Southampton University is satisfactory the sensors may also be used for other cases for example for wheelchair-users. People who have some amputation said that is very distressing because very often they have sores…

My opinion about this news is that it’s a very good advance for our society. I’m sure that all of us know how much these people suffer, that’s why I think it’s a big advance. Because we don’t know if one day we will be in this situation, and if this happens I’m sure that we will want to live in good conditions so that’s why we have to fight with the technology so these people have more commodities to live their lives. 

Driver's license

Now, I and the majority of my classmates are adults. We are more than eighteen years old so that’s why we can obtain the driver’s license. In my opinion this can change your life a lot, because if you have it you are independent.

I’m sure that all of us want it, because nobody likes asking their parents to take them somewhere… But the big discussion of this topic is if the method that Spain uses to obtain the license is correct. I think that I’m not the first person who asked this question, because for me, it isn’t the best method because the practice part is very relative, on the other hand I’m agree with the theory part.

The problem that the practice part has is that the examiner doesn’t value sufficiently your style of driving and he or she fails you if you make a casual mistake that somebody makes everyday when he or she drives her car… I think a good thing that we can do is that the examiner should be less strict and lengthen the time of the exam, in this manner the examiner has a big vision of you, and can value you better. I’m sure that in a near future we will do this because we have a lot of problems to obtain the license and the majority of people who do the exam didn’t pass so that’s why in my opinion the exam, in a near future, will change… 

The people with 'animal powers'

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140407-the-people-with-animal-powers

This news talks about people who want to be similar to animals. For example Ridler is a man who tattooed his face and all of his body, he wanted to be a Leopard. He’s living in a derelict stone cottage in the far north of Scotland in a similar situation as a cat…

Nowadays with the advance of the technology we can make people who have any prosthesis can mimic animal abilities.  An example is Nadya Vessey, a girl who didn’t develop her legs… Years ago, she had a mermaid tail designed that allows her to glide through the water like a dolphin.

In my opinion if our society can develop this, I think it can be a big deal in a near future because for most of us I’m sure we like doing similar abilities which some animal can do. I say this because who never dreams that he or she is an animal? I have done this a lot of times so that’s why I think it can be a big deal.
