OZONE LAYER

This article talks about the decrease of the ozone layer. A few years ago was able to stop the destruction of the ozone layer and only 1 year ago the layer began to regenerate but now they are emitting substances that could slow the process of curing the ozone layer even 30 years.

Resultado de imagen de capa de ozonoThe ozone layer is a very important layer that protects us from UV rays. These UV rays are what can cause skin cancer, vision problems and can even genetically modify plants and vegetables. That is why it is vitally important to repair the ozone layer, to stop using products that are so damaging to the layer and to look for alternatives to those products that do not pollute so much.
Even though the ozone layer has begun to heal, there are countries like China where they generate a lot of toxic products that are not monitored and that can make the cure of the ozone layer to be extended even 30 years more than anticipated.

INTERSEX CHILDREN

This article deals with a very sensitive topic: Intersex children. In some hospitals, no attention is given to families that have intersex children and do not give psychological help to children or family members.
Resultado de imagen de intersexualidadI believe it is vitally important to psychologically help families with intersex children before deciding what kind of operation they want to do to their child. It is also very important to help the child psychologically when he is already an adult, as he may not feel comfortable with his body. There have been cases of children in which they were operated on leaving the sexuality of a girl because the operation was simpler but being XY instead of XX, so some children do not feel good to grow because they are genetically a boy but with the body of a girl.
That is why it is very important to help families, because the decision is irreversible and can cause many psychological problems.

CHILD AND TEEN OBESITY SPREADING ACROSS THE GLOBE

This article explains the rise of obese children and adolescents around the world. Alarming figures that, although they fall in some countries like the united kingdom, increase much more in other countries like Asia.

In my opinion obesity is a big problem to be addressed. Obesity is a disease that if treated early can lead to serious heart problems and diabetes.
The biggest fault of this is the fast food industries. In addition to the fast food industries are also responsible for sugary drinks such as cocacola or redbull, which contain large amounts of sugars and products that increase our weight in large quantity.
I think it is not okay to put children on a diet since they are of growing age and have the right to eat everything, but in the case of excess we should monitor the amount of junk food that children and adolescents eat because , in the long run, can have serious health problems that, although they achieve to lose weight and to obtain an adequate weight will continue having problems like diabetes.

MY FAVOURITE COUNTRY

Canada is my favorite place. I would like to travel there because it is where the Niagara Falls are, the lake Machado that is formed by its high concentration of minerals, the cemetery of the dinosaurs where the largest amount of fossil remains of turtles, crocodiles ... and also the Orange paint pots that are small orange lakes because of the large amount of iron they contain.

In addition, in Canada you can see the aurora borealis during the four months of winter, between autumn and winter. Where best can be observed the aurora borealis is in Saskatchewan.

I would also like to try the typical dishes of Canada like maple syrup or Pudding au Chomeur which is a sweet tart with a caramel base.

Finally I would like to go to the winter carnival that is celebrated in Quebec, one of the most emblematic cities in Canada.



MY SUMMER


This summer I will be cleaning houses in "Puerto de la Selva". "Puerto de la Selva" is a tourist site very famous for its beaches and restaurants, but above all it is famous for being a perfect beach to windsurf for the wind blowing there. This summer I'll work there, I'll be there from 7am to 6-7pm cleaning a campsite first, then a house and then a food store that makes chickens. But during free time I can relax on the beach because in some areas there are almost no people, but I will not be able to bathe because on those beaches, because of the high temperature of the water, it is filled with jellyfish and it is very uncomfortable.



EASTER HOLIDAYS

During the Easter holidays I have traveled to Greenland to visit some relatives and have spent with them two weeks.I have visited many extraordinary sites such as Jakobshavn Glacier, the National Museum of Greenland, the Mara Mountain ...
Resultado de imagen de GROENLANDIABut as it is very cold in Greenland I have not been able to enjoy the whole of the holidays because I was not accustomed to so much cold.
Even so, I had a lot of fun visiting these famous places, learning their cultures and traditions like the tradition of eating whale skin and seal. I have also learned that Greenlandic mosquitoes are very large, about the size of a finger.Despite the cold and the strange traditions I had a lot of fun.

GAP YEAR

I have visited many places in my life, I have travelled to Paris, New York, Germany, Italy, but the best place I have travelled to was Australia.

Resultado de imagen de viaje
For me travelling to Australia has helped me to know other cultures, to observe the great diversity that is in Australia, I have seen many animals that I did not know existed and I have been able to try a great variety of new dishes like the Pavlova, a dessert of Meringue cake.

I think that travelling after a long time studying is a very good idea to relax and to go through new experiences that help me mature, you can also take advantage of Gap Year to learn other languages or work and study in another country.
It is a great idea to travel to other countries but it is very expensive depending on where you want to travel. If it is a distant place you have to have money to pay for the residence, the food, the transport ...
