Pawl Walker
PAUL WALKER DIES AT THE EDGE OF 40
Paul Walker
dies at the edge of 40 in accident traffic. He was going to a charity event in
Santa Clarita, California, when he slammed his red Ferrari into a tree because
of a speed. After this the car burst into flames and Paul couldn’t get out of
the car.
Paul Walker
was well known because of his movies, specially the saga of Fast and Furious
since the first film to the sixth one. He was film-making the seventh but now
we know that this is impossible to finish. Anybody knows what is the director
going to do now. Other films he has done is Timeline, Into the blue…
Fast and
Furious, In my view is the best career saga. Paul was the main character who
started as a policeman and finished like a fugitive who ran in illegal races. The
two lasts films were the best ones but not less important as the firsts ones.
When my
father told me this morning that he died I couldn’t believe it. I was and I’m
very upset. He was such a good actor for die… It’s too sad and stunning.
God bles Paul
Walker.

Children learn sexism at school
Nearly 1,300 girls, some as young as seven, took part
in the survey, and come from every part of the country and each social
class.
Even more shocking, perhaps, is the fact that much of the harassment (from sexual jokes or taunts, to unwanted sexual attention, touching or images that made them uncomfortable) happens at school, because there aren't parents, sick with fear over the new dangers of the internet or the increased sexualisation of music videos or films. More than a third of girls over the age of seven have been made to feel stupid because of their gender.
About a fifth of the 50,000 entries to the Everyday Sexism Project so far come from young girls. Just look at the website to find examples from the tsk-inducing to the heartbreaking. The ability to use those images to harass and harm must also have gone up too. The curriculum for sex education in schools hasn't changed in 14 years and makes little attempt to include the internet. Girlguiding UK is the sort of association that Gove and the coalition should love.
In my opinion, it's an excellent idea changing the curriculum for sex educaction, because nowadays youngsters are aware that this is happening but don't know the reasons or what to do if they find themselves in that kind of situation.

Humour with ''La que se avecina'' and '' Modern Family''
Firstly we chose the topic of the oral presentation
and we know since the first time that we wanted to do it about laugh.
Meanwhile we were thinking that we had to
explain the well-known Spain TV series called “La Que Se Avecina”. Nowadays for
us is the best comedy series in the TV. When we started the project it was to
empty that we had to include the American TV series, “Modern Family”. Therefore
we could do a comparation between them.
When I did the oral presentation I started too
nervous that I had to write a little. After that I thought that I mustn’t do it
so I decided to let the paper on the table and do it by myself. Surely I said
wrong words yet I considered having wrong mark for saying it badly than for
reading the paper.
In my opinion the presentation was very good
and the videos much more. Due to put a normal video we choose an outtake and
what’s more, the people couldn’t expect it.
I hope to do it better in the next presentation
nevertheless this one wasn’t too bad.
Is humour necessary?
Laughter is a very good action. All people laugh while there are people who
laugh all the time, other only do it a few times. I believe laughter is the
best medicine.
Everyone has a particular humour but all we
always laugh with some common things, for example, with a good photo, when TV
says a funning thing or when you walk and see children running or playing.
It doesn’t mine if you are ill or have problems
with money or don’t have a family, you have to look for the way to laugh,
because it is the best thing all the same, the problems pass.
Happiness is free, you don’t have to pay anything,
so you have to live life and laugh as much as you can.
Humour is one of the best things we have and we
don’t have to miss the change.

Body piercing controls wheelchair
Body piercings have been used to control
wheelchairs and computers in move scientists believe could transform the way
people interact with the world after paralysis.
The piece
of news shows us what we can do with the tongue. In our world, there are a lot
of people with wheelchairs, and should not be a problem, however this isn’t not
like this. If you always dream with a body piercing, now is the moment! One US
team developed a new system: if you have a piercing in the tongue you will
control the wheelchair or a computer. The piercing has a tiny magnet that
produces a magnetic field which the person can control some range of devices.
Due to one part of the brain is dedicated to controlling the tongue.
With this
microchip this kind of person could dial a phone, change the channel on the TV
or even type. In other words, they would
have unlimited number of instructions only moving the tongue.
Nowadays,
there is a case study and the results are very positive, because people can suffer
tetraplegia is better than another person who didn’t have any disease. Whatever the scientists are working in it and
they will have more progress in the future.
This is one
of the best notice which I have read in a lot of time. One we have to look up
and see that the technology never stops, and always carry on. To be honest is an excellent project, and it
will have a good advantage from the people who doesn’t have enough luxuries.
