Rock music vs Classical music

People who listen to rock music and others who listen to classic music have so different ways of thinking about music, but also they have similarities.
First of all, both are music styles and have similar chords and rhythms. Rock music is louder and (usually) faster than classical. However, classic music have more variety of sounds than a rock band normally use. Another similarity is that both use string instruments such as violin, guitar, etc. A last contrast between this two music styles is the different kind of people that listen to it, usually people that listen to classic music are parents or people over 40 years, why? Because this is the style of music that they used to hear in their adolescence. The people that listen to rock music are usually teens and under 30 years, both have different styles of clothes. Although i said that, you might be surprised knowing the style of music that some people listen to. For example, my housemate´s father loves hardcore music, it´s just amazing!

Incurable diseases and peer response by Alejandra

Incurable diseases don´t exist, thats my point of view. People who think that there´re diseases that cannot be health are wrong, but the medias make us believe that the´re are many imposible of curing. It´s because the research centers don´t want to show to the public the possible cure because of it´s expensive cost.

One solution could be investigate the situation and try to find evidences of what they are really doing in order to have something against the people who work in the research centers. After that we could report this situation and places using the help of the goberment or some ONG.

Halloween

We´re October 29, 2015. There are only two days for Halloween so I think that this is appropiate to write about the origins of it:

While there are many versions of the origins and old customs of Halloween, some remain consistent by all accounts. Different cultures view Halloween somewhat differently but traditional Halloween practices remain the same.

Halloween culture can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Roots lay in the feast of Samhain, which was annually on October 31st to honor the dead.

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacify the evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

In Spain it´s just a free-day, we don´t celebrate anything, it´s only an excuse to dress up and go night out with your friends, but uhm, I really enjoy it!!

Nuclear Weapons

Nowadays there are a lot of countries that have hidden warheads if a serious problem occurs. The nuclear energy also have another functions like the production of ¨clean energy¨. Each day, more and more countries are getting nuclear weapons for ¨feeling safer¨. Just one warhead could destroy an entire country, without thinking about the advances that the warheads have had since the Second World War. Apart from the huge destruction that these weapons could originate, we have to think about the pollution and the radioactivity that these would expand.

One solution to this big problem could be reduce the number of nuclear weapons and spend that time and money building factories to convert the the nuclear energy into clean and usable energy. There would not be nuclear wars and the money would be destined for a good intention. Say no to war!. War is costly, peace is priceless.

Man on the edge

In the video we watched a man on the top of a buiding preparing to jump to the floor of the street, that is, he will commit suicide. This is because he had serveral problems that are explained on the video, such as, her break up with his girlfriend and the lost of his job for excess workers.


The people in the street are preparing many mattresses to prevent his dead but they are not sure if it will work. Suddenly his girlfriend appears and tried to convince him that this is a madness. When he is preparing to jump she shouts: ¨I´m pregnant!¨ He regained the consciusness and sayed: ¨Ok, I am fine, I am not going to jump¨. When they were going back to the building he slipped with the floor and felt crashing into the mattresses. He lived, but with injuries all over his body because of the fall.

¨I wish I found some better sounds no one´s ever heard,
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words,
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new,
I wish I didn´t have to rhyme every time I sang,

I was told when I get older all my fears would shrink,
But now I´m insecure and I care what people think.¨

¨Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days,
When your momma sang us to sleep but now we´re stressed out.¨

¨Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young,
How come I´m never able to identify where it´s coming from,
I´d make a candle out of it if  I ever found it,
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I´d probably only sell one.¨

¨We used to play pretend, give each others different names,
We would buy a rocketship and then we´d fly far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they´re laughing at your face,
Saying, <Wake up, you need to make money >.¨

                                                 Low-stress job vs stressful job

When you were young, your relatives and the people arround you always asked you questions such as: What are you going to be in the future? What kind of job would you like? The kids sometimes answered: I want to be an astronaut, a football player, a medic, etc.
I always have been a bit lazy, I admit it, but I loved everything about languages since I was 6, so I decided to study them. I think that work as a teacher is one of the low-stress careers in which you can work in. You schedule your own classes and you decide (normally) what and when are you going to teach something to your students, inside of a main programation. 
Jobs like lawyer, banquer or waitress are very stressful jobs, at least for me. You have to do everything that your boss asks of you and you must comply. 
In conclusion, it´s hard to choose a correct job to work in, but the hardest part is to select a job that suits perfectly with your way of life.

Description of someone and peer response by Alejandra

I´m going to talk about my beautiful cat. He is my baby, and he is like a little tiger. His name is Sam. He is white and brown with a soft coat.Although he is sometimes a bit asshole and lazy,he loves playing with me. My housemate and I picked him up from an animal protection when he was just a baby with two month.Even though he has a bent tail, it´s very funny to see it! I love him so much and I hope he will stay with me until he die.

Dear Riki, the text is great but it could be better with a little more of conexion between sentences. I also like to see a topic sentence. I know that your next text will be better than it, and that´s true that you´re going to improve your grammar skills a lot during the course. Good luck!

Guernica, Picasso.

It makes me feel a little bit strange, I can feel the desesperation of the people and animals that appear on the paint. The author try to reflect the panic and the agony of the people who lived in Guernica.The people were suffering by soldiers who were atacking the city of Guernica the 26th of april 1937. 
Now, I´m going to describe a few things of the painting: is a mural-sized oil painting on canvas by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, use a palette of gray, black and white, is known as one of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history. The mural shows the suffering of people, animals and buildings wrenched by violence and chaos. 

                                             Fear of                                                   

Fear of the dark.

Fear of clowns.

Fear of remembering the past.

Fear of my dark part.

Fear of being bad.

Fear of thinking how many days are left.

Fear of staying alone at home.

Fear of the big forest.

Fear of telling lies.

Fear of running out of money.

Fear of feeling unsafe.

Fear of feeling guilty.

Fear of dying alone.

Fear of feeling ashamed of being who I am.

Fear of letting go.

Fear of what I have become.

Fear of not believing in god.

Fear of lying in bed at night all alone, eternal sadness my only friend.

Fear this day will end just like the one before.

Fear of waking up to find nothing has changed.

Fear of not loving and fear of never being truly loved.

Fear of the nothingness I feek ever since you left.

Fear of the memories you left behind.

Fear of you.

I´ve said that.
