SPORTS

Sports can be described as a 21^st century hobby or way of life. That’s why people are getting more and more interested; therefore they practice and see it while it’s possible. As well as playing sport is beneficial, it can also be risk. I prefer seeing it as a beneficial thing.

Playing dangerous sports although make our adrenaline increases, it a very big risk that most people wouldn’t have. So it can be considered exciting sports but very expensive sports too; as you have to spend too much money buying the sports equipments. These can happen in some sports such as in bungee jumping, white-water rafting, driving fast motor cars, ... In despite of being such a dangerous and expensive sports, I would like to practice some of them. That’s why I want to know how I’ll feel practising them.

Another useful thing that sports allow us is entertainment. For that reason sports are the thing which more people see. One of the most popular competitions that it is watched by million people is the Olympic Games. It consists on several competitions of different sports, like ice hockey, river sledging, rugby, table tennis, ... One thing that is very interesting of these competition is that every team or players put their  best to participate, win and represent in a good way their countries and that’s amazing. But the most popular sports in Spain will always be football. It is also a very big industry in which people win a lot of money with football pools. It also comprehends million and million people, like the players, the referees, the trainers, ...

I used to be a sportsperson; I used to have a personal trainer who makes me get a better physical fitness. He usually makes intensive training session that let me exhausted and he also put me to the limit, but, to be honest, I like it. At first it was awful. Moreover it was an ultimate challenge. He enhanced my performance and that’s give me a buzz. Every day he prepared a circuit training but I have also practiced athletics, judo, aerobic, basketball, ... That was so useful for me, as I used to be the clumsiest person in the world and it makes me don’t trip, keep healthy, run faster, ... As I have said, I used to train hard but I have to give up with it because of my duties. Although I had finished up, I look forward to keen on practising sports.

To sum up, sports can always help our life and make it easier and funny.

The lottery

Winning the lottery is something very difficult to happen because it doesn’t depend on you; it depends on probability. First of all, it can also happen so I’m thinking what I would do if I won it, most people would say travel or shop so much or waste money on stupid things, but I think I wouldn’t do that.

 If I sudden won in lottery, I would be in shock and I would try not to burst into tears. If I won the lottery, all my family would shout nervously and ask for a small-scale event. If I won it, I would be happy because it is a welcome sum, but I would also have a sense of guilty. That’s why if I won the jackpot prize I couldn’t resist wasting some money on cravings. But then I would put my mind. If I threw money around, I would try to make the right decision in order to not have a sense of guilty. I would make an attempt to refuse offers and save money. But that’s not all, I would spend money on trying to help poor people that cope with tight money due to they couldn’t eat or sleep properly and from my point of view, that’s very hard. If I made a fortune I would donate money to people who really need moreover, if I did that, I would try to remain anonymous, not only because of my own protection (as most people would like to steal you), also as I didn’t need to be known (this would be an altruistic action I needn’t any merit). But this would be very difficult. If someone became suspicious of you, everybody would know it. If I were the jackpot winner I would gain a new-found status, but I wouldn’t like it. If I win the jackpot. I wouldn’t turn upside down my life; I would continue as If I hadn’t won the lottery. I would also try to help animals associations, considering that they are doing a very good job helping animals which have been abandoned. I would give them money if they took care well of their animals.

Most people would squander money on stupid things. That’s why I think winning the lottery has more drawbacks than advantages. But, if I became seriously rich, I would help people who run out of their houses. I would also be pouring money in order to have some profits. I would help more people if that became real to me. I would be unable to let people losing their house, being hungry or not having enough money to feed their children and give them a decent ceiling as everyone deserves that. But, although that, it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t spend some money on me and my family, but personally speaking, I think we have a social responsibility and we should do the best of us in order to help other people who can live as well as us.

I have always love hamster but most people I know don't like them. I usually have many pets during my life but nowadays I can't have one because I have to share a flat with other girls. But I feel alone. For that reason, my boyfriend gave me a hamster as a present birthday. And, for that reason, Cochambres arrive at my life.

Cochambres is a little hamster. He is very beautiful, and his colours are striking. He is also lovely and running. He likes a lot eating apple from my hands and he cannot eat if I'm not with him. He usually runs a lot at home as I have bought a ball in which we can go without being lost. He usually bites his cage as he doesn't like it and I always tell off him in order to not doing it again. He always travels with me and he spends the week with me in Murcia. So, when I got home, he always makes little sounds as he is happy to see me and I love it!

Hamster are beautiful pets but most people dislike it as they look like rats. But, from my point of view, there are lots of different from hamster to rats. They are more loving and they don't bit their owners while rats do it. They can be pets as they know how to behave while rats are free animals. And I can say a lot of differents.

It is the best present I have ever given and I love his way of making me happy at the moment I see him.

Fear by Raymond Carver

Fear of falling asleep at night
Fear of not falling asleep
Fear of not being love
Fear of being alone
Fear of being unhappy
Fear of not having your arms around me
Fear of losing you
Fear of living
Fear of death
Fear of everything

Nowadays, the superciallity is very common. First impression is always the most important thing as it determines our opinion to other people. It is used by advertising; if a product is advertise by a beautiful woman, it is more attractive to the ones who may buy it.

Currently society is very influenced by our appearance. Actresses are very beautiful women and singers too. They usually have good physical appearance and everybody love them. So, these prototype made girls usually rethink about our weight, our hair, … our appearance.

For that reason many girls decided to lose weight. They might think that if they slim down, they will be more beautiful and they will also have success in their life. Some of them try to do it by going on diet. But most girls who are affected by society prejudice only see two options to have a better appearance in a quicker way. The first one is to eat as less as their bodies should take energy from their body. The other one is to eat as much as they can but then they use their fingers in order to make their body vomit the meal. Many teenagers are being affected by anorexia and bulimia in our country. These dangerous illness are nowadays affecting to many boys too. So, by time, we can see that these illness instead of being stop, they are being developed. They are affecting more or less to 10% of our population. But the problem of that illness is not only the overcoming of it, it is the damage that may be unrepairable in their bodies. Although overcoming from it is also very dangerous. Many teenagers cannot survive to such a hard process.

We might notice that many people, who are not actresses or have the best physical appearance, are also happy and have a good life. We must see them as a role model. There are no perfect weight or perfect physical appearances, there are instead beautiful women in each body.

WHAT IS BEAUTY?

Everyday in our lifes, we ask ourselves what beauty is. Sometimes people would give us empty and ridiculous answers. They would talk about material things, they would base their opinions on beauty standars or how much something costs. No one would realise what the most important thing really is.

We would never find the perfection in ourselves, as human being is imperfect. So, beauty cannot be based on the beauty of a girl or a boy or even on the things we bough. If we notice every little thing that we missed, we will discover how amazing could be things that look like insignificant at the beginning. We can find beauty on human being. But beauty is not his appearance, it is something more sophisticated. It is the smile of someone you love, the movement of his hands, the way he closes his eyes, the way he holds my hands, interlace your fingers with someone else, ...

But beauty is not only love, it can also be found on the little things of our life. We can find it on a baby's smile, a flower's smell, wet land's smell, the love your pets gives and also the happiness they give to you, a big hug during a cold day, reading, listenning to your grandfathers' stories, seeing the star during a summer night, seeing a sunrise, sleeping listenning the rain, the rustle of the leaves while they are being crushed, ... Beauty is also nature. It is the birds' sing, the rivers' sound, the freedom, the peace, the water way, the grass brushed against your skin, the sound of your heart beating, ...

To sum up, we should remind that beauty is not a expensive car or a good-looking women or men. Beauty is everything you love and makes you happy. The most beauty thing for me is the rain, and not only the rain; run, dance, smile, cry and kiss under the rain.

As we have already know, nowadays we couldn’t live without technology, but, although it can help us and it one of the best human’s discovers, are we getting techno-addicted? Should it be stopped?

In the one hand, as I have said before, technology is used almost for everything. That’s a good point, as it is very helpful. If we use it with responsibility, It could be the best discovery that human being had ever made as it helps us with everything. We could look for information on it, or know about what happen in other countries. It is used almost for every little thing in our life, we look for the weather in order to not getting cold, we buy things through internet if we don’t find them in the shops. It is amazed how we can depend on them, even when we are on danger. It is also useful as we can know new people and we also can talk with people who live far away from us, and I love it as, like this, we don’t miss them as much as we used to.

On the other hand, we are losing some customs as we are techno-addicted. We couldn’t life without technology, so we usually use them even when we are with friends. There is something that makes me feel amazed: they are speaking through the mobile phone while they are in front of the other person. It can’t be possible, are we such a stupid to do that? Another important thing is that we are learning to have everything do at the moment looking for it on the internet. Because of that we are losing some important abilities like summarising or looking for in information in different books.  We are getting addicted to them and I think we couldn’t be a single day without them (even me) and that is tremendously hard.

To sum up, I think technologies and social networks are so important and useful in our lives if we know how to use them and even if we use them with moderation. So, using them in a good way we can change the world, but we should avoid being so addicted to them as we wouldn’t see the beautiful things the life can show us.
