One letter to Sara



Hi Sara,
I just receive your letter. I don’t believe that at last you open a restaurant. I I’m really happy! I'd love to talk to you and we make update. I’m very busy but I will try to receive you in two weeks. What do you think? This weekend I’m going to have my house free.

I was thinking and I suggest you to contact with some friends by Facebook and ask them if you could go to see what they cook in the typical days.

Last Monday my cousins and I went to a near restaurant called ‘’La Trinca’’ and the food was really good. We can go! As they have full of decorations that it would be used for your restaurant.

I have a bad news in relation to your inauguration, I think that we can’t come, because I have an important wedding. I’m so sorry in spite of we will go another weekend.

I hope that the restaurant has a lot of people. I strongly believe that you restaurant go on and reach the top.

Lots of love,
Elisabet

Human rights

I think about the human right are rights all of us have to know. There is one, the article 22 is about the social security that I'm annoyed a little. Because it sais that everyone as a member of society and have rights like money, health, place to life... only because we are humans. But, is this the real? Do we have as many helps as they say?

In my point of vew, I can see a lot of families that they don't have any thing to eat or they can't buy a simple T-shirt meanwhile the government actually does have the money to pay new building we don't really need as airports and expensive constructions like this.

As the video sais, everyone need a little of help from everyone. Maybe some people sais that they don't need it, but you really are wrong. Everyone has problems in doing somehthing once in their lifes, even if you don't want help, believe in the others and think that then everything can be easy.

Ukraine crisis: Crimea sites controlled by armed troops

Russia pacts with Crimea to deploy military to strengthen their position in the Peninsula

Axionov assured that the Crimea’s Government “would guarantee every citizen, regardless of their national origin, a real and fair approach to problem solving. I assure you that you have nothing to fear about”, said, referring to the Ukrainian and Tatar minorities living in the peninsula on the Black Sea. He added that "all that is happening today is within the law, with the approval of all bodies that have competence in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.”

Crimea's government refuses, however, to seek independence from Ukraine and stresses that its goal is that the peninsula is "a real autonomous republic within Ukraine», with the expansion of its powers. 

 In my opinion, all that is happening in Ukraine is a disgrace, and any news concerning this isn't good news unless it says that everything is over. 




 
 

Prehistoric paintings in Spain's Altamira cave revealed to a lucky few



In northern Spain, in Cantabria, we can find the marvellous Altamira paintings. These paintings are in a cave and have 20.000 years old. There are seventeen decorated caves with different skins of animals like an extinct species of bison, wild boar They are also inscribed as exceptional testimonies to a cultural tradition and as outstanding illustrations of a significant stage in human history.

Since the 28th of February, small groups of five persons with a guide can visit it. This people are chosen by randomly. If and when they wear protective clothes, masks and shoes in order to don’t damage the ancient paintings.

The scientists do this for determine if the paintings should be reopened to the public permanently.

To tell the truth is a great idea, sentence young people may visit the wonderful caves. Sometimes ago nobody went there. I think is good for the historian too, because if finally the caves will open, we will know much more. And it’s probably that I will go to visit them.
