GLOBAL WARMING

ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS CHALLENGES FACING US TODAY!

Maybe when you listen “global warming” you think about science fiction movies or maybe you think that it’s just the nature or maybe that it is going to be along time when this problem comes true. Maybe you’re wrong. The layer that covers the planet is called atmosphere and its function is to keep the rays of the son inside the planet so it maintains a temperature of 15°C. Without this layer the temperature of the planet would be of -18°C. Without the greenhouse gases the planet won’t be able to function and this could cause a big disaster.
The increase of the greenhouse gases is caused principally by three effects: the gases that industries produce, the cut down of the trees and the population’s increase. This last effect implies that people need more natural resources like water, wool, food, etc. And here we have an important point: technologies.
Industries burn 2,500 million of tons of carbon dioxide per year, and cars burn 1,500 million of tons of CO2.


What are consequences of the global warming?
When the rays of the sun are kept between the planet and the atmosphere, the temperature increases, there is a shortage of water, the ice melts, and on the other hand there is also acid rain.
The rays of the sun get directly into the water of the planet and this make that the water evaporates quickly. So, when an hurricane occurs and collide with hot water it gets bigger! Also, the water of North and South poles melt. This effect makes that polar bears and seals die because they need the ice to survive.

Moreover the level of the sea increases causing more flooding. So, If the level of the sea increases 6 meters places like Florida, San Francisco, Beijing, Holland, Bangladesh, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and more could be completely flooded.
You can keep cheating you, or maybe you can just keep thinking that these things won’t happen. But we have to start taking action right now!

Here are some tips that you can take to help your planet:

1. Change your light bulbs for those that save energy.
2. Turn off the computer, television, radio, etc if you are not using it.
3. Try not to use the heater or the air conditioning.
4. If you can, buy a hybrid car with automatic motor (engine).
5. Keep the wheels inflated.
6. Share your car, use public transport, walk or ride a bike.
7. Don’t waste water when you take a shower.
8. Recycle.
9. Wash your cloth with cold water.
10. Plant one tree.
11. Take care of the animals. Let them live!

... We are wasting the resources that our planet gives us! We have to start to do something and
we have to do it now!

VIVE LATINO

Vive Latino is an annual rock festival held in Mexico City. It is one of the most important rock in Spanish festivals in Latin America. The event takes place in Foro Sol, a huge place that allows thousand of people to get in there. It takes place between the months of April and May.


The duration of the festival depends of the number of the bands that are going to attend. It can vary from one or two days. The kind of music that the bands perform are such as rock, punk, metal, ska and indie so people can listen their favourite music and have a great time in there.


There are three different stages: red, green and blue. The red is the principal one, and there is where the best bands perform, then the green and blue are for bands less known or less famous.

The place is very clogged, more than 250 thousand people are attending, even though you have the opportunity to get in the first line and see your favourite band like one meter away from you!


The most popular bands are Zoe, Cafe Tacuba, Division Minuscula, Fobia, Molotov, El Tri, Porter, Austin TV and more... They are Mexican bands and every year there is one guest, we don’t know yet which band is going to be this year but the last year was “The Magic Numbers” so we hope this year they give us a good SURPRISE and present a good band!

MEXICO

Mexico City should be in your must visit list if you are fan of museums, archaeological treasures, delicious cuisines, shopping centres, amazing nightlife and big plazas. This is one of the most crowded cities in the world. There you can find many travellers but if you want to have a wonderful time in this country you can also visit Guadalajara, Monterrey and Oaxaca.


Guadalajara is Mexico’s second largest city and it deserves a few days of your time. This is a city of monuments, parks and flowers, fountains and tree lined avenues. In this city you can find an old ranch where people produce Tequila, there is one tour and you can taste the best flavour of tequila!

Monterrey is a modern city and it is full of cultural offerings. In this city people are very friendly and helpful. Here you can find a different variety of nightclubs, restaurants and shopping centres!

Oaxaca is full of creative and artistic atmosphere, this make it different than the other cities in Mexico. There is enough history in the ruins among the hills and the valleys of this city. You can visit many archaeologist places and have an incredible cultural experience.

Now this is my dress...What are you hiding under your clothes?

As the UK is like any other western countries, here we wear same clothes as everywhere. Jeans or slims, tee shirts or sweater and shoes or high-heel. We're all the same.We wear suits for business, and special clothes for the climate include heavy coats or anoraks for a cold wintry weather and umbrellas for rain. Materials used cover every type and colour of fabric available, especially consider that Britain is a multi cultural society and in certain cities (Bradford for an example) you will find many stores with very colourful silk available for making in Sari's and other ethnic clothes.


A clothe , a color means a taste, a mood, or just a style.
Even perfume or accessories can make all the difference.

English teenagers or young people like famous brands like Nike, Puma... everything to follow the latest fashion. And you? what do you keep in your wardrobe?

memories, old fashion clothes...

Don't worry guys I didn't forget you!! Even if fashion is more for girls your own style is very interesting ... what do you suggest ?

The discussion is open!!!

HEALTH AND SPORT


Lazy day or Sport session ,
see how your body need to
move on




Lying on your sofa, watching TV, want to do nothing but relax. Whereas the sun is very bright and your friend ask you if you want to play a game like football or basketball. And you don’t want to be disturb so you say” I’m watching the game now, go away!”

Nowadays it’s not easy to practise a regular activity when you are students... Of course the solution is to join a club... more information ask” Union Student” A little survey has been made about students’ activities. and the question was:

According to you what do you prefer to do after class?

a. Relax and watch TV (sport for example)
b. Let of steam and run among the park or everywhere
c. Practise a regular sport and be in a club

Actually lot of students avowed that they prefer relax, but some of them also said that they practise some exercise like running or just walking.
In truth just walking is a good exercises for our body, just need to walk 20 min per day is sufficient. It’s even better if you walk everyday than if you’re just practise a jog just once a week.

But anyway the walk and jog if you have no time you always can do basics exercises. Many ways to keep fit begin with eating well
Your body and brain need vitamins and other elements.

“We are young and we have the life in front of us.
If we want to keep fit we have to do sport !!
I don’t want to be an old goat at 60 year old.
I have many projects and it’s just the beginning of my life”

Last words : Move around !No time to do nothing or your future will be worse.
