Nowadays ,there are a lot of animals living in zoos. But, is it right or wrong to keep them in the zoos?
I think that almost everyone have been in a zoo in their childhood, it is a great experience for children going to zoos, it’s a place where they can see wild, beautiful, exotic animals. And know some characteristics of each of them. An other advantage is that animals who live in zoos don´t get starve, they are protected and one of the most important things, with this program the specialist can develop wildlife conservation programs for thousands of animal species. This is particularly crucial to the extinct species.

Beside this, it doesn’t matter how comfortable are animals in zoos, it's not their natural habitat In zoos they are not free, they can’t run or coexist  with other animal species.That conditions make them unhappy and restless.

The WWF considers captive breeding of rare, threatened, or endangered species, the “last resort” strategy for the captive breeding programs.The goal of most captive breeding programs for endangered species is to establish captive populations that are large enough to be demographically stable and genetically healthy, in other words: saving endangered species to keep them in captivity, ensuring that his  reproduction is reliably  and once they have achieved this reintroduce animals back to the wild.
An example of that is the Ex Situ conservation program of the Iberian lynx, with this program they have achieved more animals than those who were removed from the field as the founders of the program, at first they were only 49 lynx and now they are 69 lynx that have born in the breeding program and also have been reintroduced, including the latest releases of July in Extremadura and Castilla- la Mancha .


So as I see it, the captive breeding is the best way to save endangered animals because they have the reproduction almost guaranteed and once they have done it, they can go back to their natural habitat.




New York



N.Y is known around the world for being the biggest city of the United States. Its skyline is truly awe-spiring. The skyscrapers, bridges, waterways, islands and monuments create a breathtaking panorama that is instantly recognizable worldwide. The city that never sleeps is a center of appeal, a multicultural shock where you can find people from the most unexpected places in the world.

It's core is Manhattan, a labyrinth of streets lined with iconic buildings and landmarks including the Empire State Building, that is probably New York's best known building and can be seen on many postcard and films, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of art; Times Square known for its Broadway theatre, cinemas and electronic billboards. It is one of the places that makes New York a city that never sleeps. And also don't forget Central Park, that besides being the heart of Manhattan, this park is one of the favorite places of New Yorkers and tourists for walking, sunbathing or doing sport.

Another top visited place for tourists is Fifth Avenue, NY shopping is an entirely different experience than shopping in another city. Whether you are searching for the latest fashions, NY souvenirs, or useful housewares, New York outlets on Fifth Ave cater to every taste and budget.

In conclusion, this metropolis with 10 millions inhabitants is the place where it all happens. Each neighborhood  that its own identity.New York or ''The big apple'', is more than a city. It's an experience. And I hope that one day I could visit this mazing city.

KINSALE.


A few days ago I e-mailed with a  good friend of mine. She is a french girl who I met two years ago in a trip that took place in Ireland ,we were in the same house. And talking with her made all my memories came back to my mind like  a kind of flashback. I remembered that beautiful trip and all the good moments I spent in there. The first time I met her we were very nervous so we didnt started to talk to each other immediately, but as the time went by we started to became good friends. We were the same age so it wasn't difficult to have things in common , we both liked go cycling and taking pictures, so the father of the family borrowed us some bicycles and we used to go cycling before dinner and go to a beautiful river to talk and to take pictures of the view. The family was also very friendly , I remember that every Sunday they used to take us to a place called Kinsale , it was a charming place, I dont even know how to explain it ,Kinsale is a small town located in the south of Ireland ,it is a place worth to visit. The first time I went there they took me to a small beach, the beach was incredible I think Id never seen one like that one , the sand was white, there were small boats of different colors in the water and kids playing in the seashore. I think Ill never forget the moment I put my feet on the water, Camille( my french friend) told me to get inside the sea , she told me that the water was warm, but I knew that that wasn't true, but what I didn't expected was that the older brother of the family was behind me waiting to push me inside the water. And he did, I felt shocked, so I couldn't barely got out of the water because the water felt like ice for me, but know  I still laughing when I remember this moment.

Are people less healthy than in the past?

Nowadays there are more and more people who are less healthy than ever before, even when we have the resources to be healthy.
As the years go by, the amount of junk food we eat is increasing.The restaurants where you can buy junk food have become very popular, such as Burger King or McDonald’s. You can find more than one of those restaurants in the same town. Eating junk food is not too bad only if you eat it moderately. The problem is when you can’t stop eating that kind of food. Here is when it starts to have bad consequences such as obesity. We are less healthy than in the past, another example of it is the increase in people who smoke, especially young people, and the stress that most of people have in their work.
But at the same time we have the resources to be more healthy. We have more information than ever, we can have nutritional information, medicines, vaccinations. We have also a lot of effective diets, and you can find a gym in every town too, where you are able to learn how to keep fit, so it shouldn't be so hard to be healthy.
We have the resources to be more healthy. The only thing we need is to concern our shelves more with living a healthier life.

Nowadays our world is all connected and we have more opportunities than ever to go abroad, but despite this still may people who prefer to live in a traditional way, living in the same place all their lives.
There is no doubt that the place where you grown up will always be special for you because it is the place where you where born, where you made your first friends and where you spent most of your memories. Staying all your life in the same place means living closer to your family and friends for helping you, giving you nice advices and having good times. Moreover is that you are known in your living place and you also know the people of your country.
All of this facts are good, but when you are young sometimes you have the need to break all your habits and routines and look for other experiences. Living in another place can give you the chance  to be more open-minded, to make new friends, visit beautiful sites and even give you a different point of view of your life. Furthermore it contributes to make you more independent, responsible and meet new cultures.
In my opinion is so much better not to live in the same place all your life but instead move to other city or even go abroad. In that way you can discover who you really are, or what type of person would you like to be. Not being just how people tell you, or how you have to be.

Write an opinion paragraph about something you really like but most of people don't like at all.

From my personal experience, running is one of the best sports. Most people don’t like this activity, they prefer going to the gym and do another kind of sports or just staying at home. I always go running when I’m stressed or upset, it helps me to clear up my mind. I love waking up early in the morning and run when everything is quiet so I can enjoy the beautiful views. Running is an activity that you can do alone or with your friends and family. Furthermore, you can go running whenever you want , you are free to choose where you want to do it. Another advantage is that it improves your physical strength. As I see it, running is a very useful activity, it is one of the best ways to keep fit and it also helps you to be healthy.
