Dear Obama,

Recently I have seen the video that has gone viral rather fast. Probably you know which video I'm talking about, KONY 2012. This video has moved more than 5 milion people but... I would know what is your opinon about it? Do you really think that sending soldiers to Uganda can help to catch Kony?

In my opinion, obviously it can help a lot but... are you completly sure that the reason why you will send soldiers to Uganda is just to catch Kony, or your country has more interests in that country?. I will never know the answer but if you act in this way to help people, the image I have about you will improve a lot.

Yours sincerely.

Aleix Canet

HUMAN RIGHTS

0. Quiz: do you know your rights? : what's your score?

I haven't seen anywhere what's my score.

1. What are human rights?

Human rights are 30 laws which everyone should respect and complay towards other humans.

2. Why were they created?

They were created to keep humans against them and their rights as humans.

3. How many human rights are there?

There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with? Mention an example where this human right is respected and where it is not respected.

The right to be defended in a equal way against the law. This right sometimes is violated with important persons. For exemple, here in Spain, Mr Camps won't be arrested but instead of it, one lawyer will be arrested because he stolen 5000 euros from a transfer he did.

Can Internet make the world a better place?

A few years ago, a new technology was born: Internet. Nowadays, it has made our life better than before. Thanks to Internet, we can meet people we don't see, look for places, and more activities. But... has internet more advantatges than disadvantages? Let's see.

In internet we can find informatiion we are looking for or we need, find people we met before, chat with friends and family, and share our experiences and opinions in pur website, apart of sharing music or movies. In addition, one of the most advantatges internet got is that people will see everything upload. You can keep noticied about what is happening in Australia while someone is in USA. It's useful if you want to transmite your message.


However, it has bad points. Security is one of them. As it's available for everyone, you have to protect your ID and personal information from users that could use it to hurt someone, or whatever related with bad things.


In conclusion, it's very useful and dangerous at the same time, so you should protect your persona information and use it safely.

This is my second OP this course. I think I've improved a little bit but not at all I expected. There's moments that I say "aaaah" so I try to improve and correct these mistakes. In addition of mistakes, another mistake I did was to not stop moving all time and that's another thing I have to correct.

From PP, It should had been improved a little because was too basic without photos, without movies, too easy and non attractive so far.

But, in fact, I'm proud of myself becuase I can start to speak with more fluency than before, so it's a positive point and a motive to keep going improving!

My team

Time is passing and every moment I’m a little bit near of the end of the season. I ‘m glad of myself because all I ever wanted I’ve could achieved this season: make a champion team, a team with no fears, a team where someone can find in it my ideas, my way to be. A team who want the ball, take the ball from the other team, a team which doesn’t feel the meaning of pressure, a team which wants to show to the public how they play an attractive basket. Actually I’ve fallen in love with my small team, even sometimes I got troubles, they’re one of my most loved treasure nowadays. Without them, I wouldn’t be me, I would miss some part of me because what they have given to me is huge, something that I couldn’t say with words, a reason to live, to believe in every act I do or every word I say.
I know that it won’t be eternal, but I will just keep with me good memories with them.

News

This summer, Arsenal has sold some of the key players like Samir or Fàbregas.

This fact has made Arsenal account increse in 49.5$ milion, during the last six month. It's good for Arsenal, if you compare with the last six month when Arsenal lost 6.1$ milion.

With this amount, supporters have claimed to join new good players to get some chance to win a competiton or a trophy.

Arsenal is not winning any award from 7 years ago, and could be a improvement if Arsenal join. However, they have warned that not all the money will be invested joining players becaus they have to got a little quantify is thinfs doesn't go as they want.

In addition, Stan Kronite has incresed his stake of the club, and Usmanov has done the same with his stakes.

Europe's cold snap

Many homeless people have died in cities around central and Eastern Europe. In some countries, as there was heavy snow and some people got trapped, the army had to help them out.

Most of them have died because they've been exposed to temperature not higher than -30ºC for days. Governments have put up tents to help them. In many cities you can find outside braziers placed in places where people use to wait for trains, buses, taxis, etc...

This cold snap won't disappear at least for the next weeks. Another problem is that countries are using gas for warm them up and it causes an increse of the gas consume during this period

Games

Games play an important role in my life. Playing when I'm boring or when I want to get fun, I play games. For me, games just aren't playing football or killing people. Behind every moviment I do with joystick there's a feeling, a thought, an idea. Obviously I get angry when players score me a goal and every time I'm looking for some way to stop him. I'm proud of myself in this way because I can think as fast as I think thanks to videogames and trying to preview what my opponent will do. When I do something, for exemple, move a player to another position, my mind has already done this action and is thinking in whatever will happens when I'll have done it. So by this way, I'm not a bad player. I'd better if I use this time not to playing, for studying, but I don't think that's the principal reason why sometimes I fail.
This fast-think way has given me a qualities playing basketball. One of my best skills is reading the game and where I might move to give spaces to my team mates.

Games have taught me good things and bad things. I remembered 2 years ago, I cryed when I got the end of the game, when the principal character die. I didn't think this game could be as well as at final would be. Or for exemple, I usually play shooters in history mode, sometimes I get goosebumps when I see an emotional scene like an heroic act, or when people are trying to save his friend's live.
But as whatever that exists, bad things that games have taught me have been I get angry often so I must control myself if I don't want to go to the jail due to I've killed someone, or when people kill me without understand why I've die.
