THE WALL

As you all know Donald Trump, president of United States, since he became president has wanted to build a wall between USA and Mexico. And when he announced it he also said that Mexico was going to pay for the wall. What Donald Trump is looking for building this wall is to avoid drug trafficking and migration to the country, among other things..But a lot of people, even Trump's supporters are saying that this isn't gonna work and Trump's solution to this problems is stupid and absurd, cause no one can't stop someone who's looking for a better life for their children and same thing about the narcotraficants. The border between these two countries is about 3142 kilometers and 1046 of these already have built a series of fences and walls of different heights and structures. According to the bbc news, a wall that extends 3 meters underground and reaches 15 meters high can cost approximately 38.000 million dollars plus expenses not included and without counting that the wall will have to cross private lands and that makes that the governament will have to make land acquisitions or reach financial agreements with the owners. So, Trump says that now americans are paying for the wal, but soon they will be reimbursed and Mexico will pay for the wall.

OVERPOPULATION

How many people can our planet support?

So many people are worried about overpopulation. Overpopulation is the fear of most of politicians about the future of the plantet. What will happen If we keep procreating and the population keeps growing? Will we really fit in the Earth?or there will be an excess of people? 
Investigators say that the problem is not the big number of people in the world, because the Earth is bigger enough, but the scarcity of recources. Population growth has been really fast and we don't have clues about the possible consequences that it could make. If we focus on the carbon emissions, there are cities in poor nations that emit less that one tone of CO2 per person per year and cities in rich nations can have 6 to 30 tonnes of CO2 per person per year, so the difference between individuals are really big.

New words:
Wince: Gest de dolor.
Footprint: Patjada.
knowledge: Conomiento.

GLOBAL ISSUES

WHAT IS IN THE PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT?

SUMMARY
The Paris climate deal is a pact between the 200 countries (more exactly 196) together in the fight against climate change. The purpose of this deal is that every country has the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to come into a low-carbon emissions world.
So, the Kyoto protocol of 1997 set an emission reduction target for the developed countries and USA pulled out of the deal.
USA, among two other countries (Nicaragua and Syria), isn't supportive of the Paris climate agreement.
To confront the climate change everey country has to limit even more global temperatures to 1'5ºC. And every 5 years there's a review to each country's contribution to cutting emissions. The rich conutries have to help the poorest nations by providing "climate finance"(which may be drawn from public, private and alternative sources of financing).
About the money, the reach nations have been promised 100 bn a year by 2012 and the deal keeps saying that developed countries should help and provide support for poor nations to stop with climate change and incline the other countries to join the agreement.
All the analysts say that this is the beggining towards a low-carbon future and there's much more to do. 

NEW WORDS

Achieving, achieve: To reach a goal. 
Regard: To have or concern respect for.
Pledge: A solemn promise.

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
Motherfucker!

It's clear that this song is reclaiming and clamouring something and it seems to be a very revolutionary song. I can understand that this song is about the authority exercised by the system on the citizens and acusses people that works for the criminal justice of abusing of the rights of the system like the lawyers, policemen and judges. When it says "Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses" it's talking about them. And also when it says "And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control" I think it is saying that you are doing what people from above told you to do, you are obeying them, you're controled by them. And I think that's why at the final of the song says "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" because he's not going to do what they told him, he's going to rebel and turn against the law.

BYE BYE ESO

Hello, as you know this has been my last year in ESO, I can't believe it yet. I still remember my first day in 4th of ESO, I was so angry with the teachers because they changed the classes and I didn't know anyone from this class and I wanted a change. But now I'm glad I didn't change, although at the beggining I bored a lot, I met new people and lately I had really fun.
Also I remember my sister last year used to say that 4th of ESO was really hard, that she didn't have time to herself, but I think that it wasn't too much. The first two terms I think I dind't study a lot but I got it, not with very good grades but I got it. And this third term my marks got a little higher. I'd like to say that I've learned a lot this year both culturally psicologically.

I can't believe I just finished ESO. But now, I am gonna enjoy this summer a lot with my friends and all the people that I like because this september I will be studing hard again.

One love Manchester

Ariana Grande started to be famous when she was in the program Victorious  seven years ago. But nowadays she is know for her wonderful voice and for being one of the best youth singers. As everybody knows last may 22 she was giving a concert at Manchester Arena (United Kingdom) and at least twenty two people was killed and more than 50 got hurt because of a terrorist attack provoked by a suicide bomber. 
After the tragic concert Ariana decided to leave the tour and to give a benefit concert this sunday June 3 in Manchester Emirates Old Trafford to benefit the victims of the concert. The proceeds of this concert will go to the Fundation ''we love Manchester'' that was created by the town hall of the city. She will be accompanied by some artists like Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas, Katty Perry, Robbie Williams, Usher, Miley Cyrus and another stars. 
Last friday June 2 she came back to United Kingdom to visit the attempt victims at Manchester hospital and she makes her fans vey very happy for being able to be with her. 

I feel so sorry for all the victims that that terrorist attack caused, I can't even imagine everything that she and the families of the victims are going through in this moment of their lives. I think it's a shame that exists people like this in the world, I don't know how someone is capable to do something like this to people, to kids... How can anyone end with somebody's inocent life? If you want to explote a bomb in your body because you are mad with the world  okay, do it, but don't hurt any other people because they don't deserve it. They had a beautiful life to live and somebody ended with it, somebody took it with no regrets. They don't deserved this, nobody does.

Love song

A thousand years

This song is from the saga Twilight, Breaking Dawn part 2 and it's a kind of love that talks about eternal love and to love somebody forever. As the song says "I have loved you for a thousand years and I'll love you for a thousand more" because in the movie they are immortals, so the love is immortal too.
