After buying this device they went home, they arrived almost at 12.30 on the night, but they wanted to try it, so they took the GPS and on the destination blank Mary wrote her mother`s house that was fifteen minutes away. When they were on the way the electrical generator of the city exploded, so all the lights of the city exploded. They couldn`t see anything, their only eye was that new GPS they just bought. John, who was driving started following the directions of the satelital system, but after 15 minutes of driving they noticed they were not outside of mary`s mother house, they were in Bronx, one of the most dangerous places in Manhattan.

At that moment they tried to go back but they couldn`t they were trapped, some people of that dangerous neighborhood were around the vehicle with guns and knifes. They were forced to get out from the car and after that they were robbed and killed, only because the GPS gave them the wrong destination....

Essay

Is global warming the most significant enviromental problem facing us today?


As we all know global warming has become a big deal since the industrial revolution. This all started because when the industrial revolution took place the whole world started producing a lot of greenhouse gases . Sadly, this situation is getting worst and worst because of the huge industry that is getting bigger everyday and also because of the CO2 that is released to the atmosphere by the cars.

I think that global warming is the most significant enviromental problem facing us today because almost everything we do releases greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming. Also a lot of things we use that come in spray as deodorant, damages the atmosphere which lets the ultraviolet rays to reach the earth, something which also raises the temperature of our planet. So its very hard to fight against global warming beacuse everyday more and more greenhouse gases are being released.

Secondly, global warming makes a lot of problems, an example of them its a thing that may sound very stupid but it makes a chain reaction which may affect the whole world. According to Natural Resources Defense Council global warming raises the number of insects. So, with a raise in the number of insects the agriculture of the country starts having plague and production problems, with productions problems in the agriculture of the country, the economy in the country decreases, and if this happens in a huge country such as United States of America, the whole economy of the world decreases starting a world crisis. With a world crisis we wont be able to invest in new technology to stop contaminating the atmosphere and global warming will raise non-stop.

Another Problem that global warming brings according to another article by Natural Resources Defense Council, is dehydration of people. This has happened several times on the west coast of United States with the heat waves on summer, but if global warming doesnt stop raising this situation may occur in a lot of other places, having to spend money in treatments for them. But if this gets to an extreme situation you could die because  of dehydration.

Maybe as some people say, space junk can be more significant than global warming because as Paul Davis said in 2013 space junk may damage our satellites something which will make very difficult our world comunications. However, I still think that that global warming is more significant than other enviromental problems because it affect us more directly than others like space junk.

Finally, after all the arguments I gave in this essay I strongly think that global warming is the most significant enviromental problem facing us today because its very hard to fight it and it brings a lot of damage to our planet, the place where we live.

No more pause: Warming will be non-stop from  now on. By Michael Slezak 31 August 2014

Retrieved from: Newscientist.com

This article talks basicly about that the global warming from now on, its going to raise and raise the temperature non-stop. It also explains us that the last years we haven't noticed much the global warming because of some Powerful winds over the pacific ocean burying the warm under the sea, but as we know this raise in the temperature is not going to be stoped because of the greenhouse gases.

My opinion about this is that we should take care of our enviroment and cut the release of greenhouse gases so we can stop global warming and all of its repercusions on earth.

Letter of protest

                                                                                                                         Vicuna mackenna 700

David Cameron,
Prime minister,
London,England

12 may 2014


Dear Mr Cameron,

I am writing to protest against the people who burnt the embassy some days after the bloody sunday tragedy. I've heard that eveyone wants to open new inquiries against the british parachute regiment soldiers, but no one has even talked about the day that the protestants burnt the embassy.

I completely understand that these soldiers made a huge mistake when they shot and killed 13 people that  30th of january of the 72'. Not respecting the civil rights and all, but that doesn't give people the right to burn a diplomatic body building. That is pure terrorism.

I think it's completely correct to punish these unscrupulous  soldiers that shot and killed 13 people with no reason on a completely legal march for the civil rights, because to march on the streets is a very nice way to express your opinion. But to burn an embassy is a major crime. If you let some people to burn a british embassy and get out of there without any punishment, the world is very wrong. Because if someone makes such a terrible delictual act as terrorism and they arent even judged, after that they are going to do whatever they want.

I strongly think that you should do something to resolve this problem because not punishing this people means that they can protest on aggressive and ilegal ways, we dont want to mess with, for example terrorism.

In addition, this burnt of the embassy made the English-Irish relationships even harder , because after this the english people in charge of keeping the order on Ireland, had to start sending the orders from London instead of being there trying to solve the problems.

 All of these are my reasons to request you to say that instead of trying to judge the soldiers everyday, everybody should also see the other side of coin and start seeing the crimes that some prtotestants made. I am not telling you to leave the soldiers without any punishment, because they did something horrible but also to punish the other people that made delictual acts on this conflict.

Finally, I ask you to start an investigation with the objective of finding those terrorists that burnt a diplomatic body building without good reasons to do such a major crime.

Looking forward to your response,
Yours sincerely

On 30 January 1972, 13 people were killed when soldiers from the British Parachute Regiment opened fire on a civil rights march in Derry. The day became known as Bloody Sunday. That shocked people across the world and they burnt the english embassy.

Questions

Post-reading. Answer the following questions on your copybook (3 lines each):

1.- What is David Cameron’s opinion about Bloody Sunday?

2.- Why do you think this case has been so controversial for so long?

3.- Why has it taken so long to decide whether or not to prosecute the soldiers?

4.- What was Northern Ireland’s position towards this case?

Answers

1.- David Cameron feels really sorry about the actions that the parachute regiment took that day and says that they made the mistake. Because when the soldiers shot at the civilians they were unarmed and their civil rights let them march and express their opinions so there wasn't any reason to shot those inoffensive civilians.

2.-  I think that this case has been open for a long time and very controversial because the human rights were not taken seriously. And all the society is based on the human and civil rights, so if you dont respect you are not respecting the entire society and that has to be punished because if even those type of crimes arent punished everyone would do whatever they want.

3.-  First, because it's a very controversial topic and also because this events happened like 30 years ago, so they really dont have trustable evidence,in fact they dont have much evidence .

The lost mouth guard 

Finally it was Saturday, the day of the important match between Blues and Crusaders.  Frankly, I don't think is a very good match, but for a lot of people it is quite important. The thing is that Rene Ranger the star of the blues couldn't find his really expensive and custom made mouth guard that his father gave him 3 months ago before dying.  It wasn't  on his box, sports bag or even in his shoes.

At that moment,  he started running from the field to his house because his father before dying said ' promise me you are never going to play again without mouth guard, because you broke your teeth more than once'. So, when he arrived home he started looking for his mouth guard everywhere but he couldn't find it, so he stupidly said to "himself" 'sorry father it's because of this fantastic match I'm playing today', so he started running back to the field.

When he arrived to the field,  his team was almost going into the field and foolishly he decided to get into the field without a  mouth guard. When his coach heard that he said ' that a very fool decision boy but it is up to you'

At the first minute he received an astonishing tackle, after that tackle to his leg he discovered his mouth guard was in his pocket.
