The Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.

Bilbao

After went to Santander we went to Bilbao. We arrived the 15th august and we returned 17th.
We visited a lot of things.We were in a hotel next of the estuary of Bilbao and opposite of the Guggenheim. I think Bilbao is bester than Santander. We visited the guggenheim, the city of Guernica and the painted forest.But the best thing for me were the tapas at the old part of Bilbao.We went two nights to have tapas.The most interesant is that the people have one or two tapas in each bar.I love the tapas of bilbao

CaBaRceNo

The past 14th of august I went with my parents to the Nature Park of Cabarceno, in Santander.
There we saw a lot of animals and very deferents.Cabarceno is very large and the animals have a lot of liberty they can play and run without be locked. There are elefants, lions, lynx monkeys and a lot of animals.We enjoyed a lot watching how the animals played. The people can't throw food to the animals but some peoples throw food to the bears. I liked very much Cabarceno and I recommend you.

Irán

Iran is an arab country, between, Iraq, Saudi Arabia,Afghanistan and turkey.
In Iran they have the muslim religion.They have a lot of petrol.
Now, They have a problem with UN, because Iran is making chemicals weapons. And the U.S.A wants to attack them.

cellular phones

The newspaper EL PAIS published an article about a school subject's program for mobile phones.
I think the idea of the french teacher is fantastic because it makes a mixture between studies and technology.
Teenagers love mobiles and with this program, the subjects can be more funny.
It will be a good idea if we can import this student methodology to other countries, like Spain, because I'm sure it'll help us to study more.

An anecdote

When i was a child i went with my family to Asturias.

When we returned i had many desire to piss.I said to my parents that i wanted to piss but they didn´t take me notice.Then i started to piss in the ashtray of my car,my parents listened the sound and they stoped the car and they had to empty the ashtray with my pee.Then all my family and me started to laughing.

The Estatuto Catalan

The Estatuto Catalan is as a constution from Cataluña.It has a lot of controversy, because some people think that the Catalan people want separate to Spain.The people of the Partido Popular say that the Estatuto Catalan is against the Spanish Constitution. The Estatuto Catalan says that Cataluña is a Nation.My opinion is that Cataluña has got his culture and his lenguage and ...Why they can't his constitution? Spain can be a nation of nations.

Harold Pinter

Was born in London at the year 1930.In 1948 studied a bit of time in the Royal Academic of Dramatic Art of London.In the next 10 years he was actor.His first play was The Room(1957).

Melilla, the tip of the iceberg

Melilla it's a spanish city in Africa, Next to Morocco.The African people want cross the border and come to Europe.
My opinion is...Why the French people can come to Spain and live in here but the African pepople can't come to live here?
But there is a problem because all the African people can't come to Europe.
