Nowadays people in the USA are living in a climate of violence. This fact is related to George Floyd’s murder. He was arrested aggressively to use a faked bill (supposedly), and unfortunately he died.

In order to show disagreement, there have been a lot of protests in many countries. More of them have been peaceful, but others have included much violence.

The racism is one of the most problems in USA. If we check its history we see how black people came from colonies and were treated as slave by their master. Society has evolved, but it seems some areas do not do it. Furthermore, the racism is around the world, Australia and UK are suffering from the racism too, so this problem affects all of us.

This is a common issue but now we have realized the importance of it because social media allows us to know more about cases like George Floyd or Amy Cooper, animal lover (irony). Social media are providing us so much information. The news from Social are not handled by governments (in theory) so audience can know the reality (we should exclude fake news).

From my point of view, I agree with the protests but only peaceful protests. It is so difficult to understand a racist country when one of its presidents was a black person.

According to statistics, the tourism sector is one of the most important sectors in Spain. There are so many companies, employees, families depending on tourism. Although, the government is providing some economic help, it is not enough.

In order to encourage these people, Pedro Sanchez has announced that tourist will be able to go to Spain in July. It doesn’t make sense because nowadays EU countries are dealing about the methods that they have to apply to be sure it will be safe. They don’t have an agreement yet.

On the other hand, scientist haven’t got the vaccine yet and people are worried about our health. It is believed this virus is affecting old people strongly. We should take care them.

There are different interests but I think health is more important than business. The value of a life is immeasurable so the measures applied for coronavirus should be strict.

Do you know how many women study computer science?

# data[].attributes.body
15 years ago, I got my computer science degree. It was so hard. At the end, I spent 5 years to get the degree while the theoretical period was 3 years, however I have good memories of that. At that moment, it was uncommon to find women in the class. They were few women, but funnily they got boyfriend very quick, I guess they had many pretenders.

Related to that, I have seen a video about a woman, called Kathy Kleinman, who studied the same degree. She was the only woman who was in the class. This fact affected she sadly, so she decided to look for more information about other women that had worked with computers. Fortunately, she found some pictures with women working on the project Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946. After that, she went to the ENIAC museum to get more information but the director said these women were models. She didn’t trust him, and she kept looking for more information.
At the end, she found out the women in the picture were real engineers. The main reason of this misunderstood was sexism, the men who were in charge of that project hid it.
In addition, Katthy met these women in the 40th anniversary of ENIAC, even she recorded a documental.

In this eye-opening talk, digital rights expert Kathy Kleiman describes her efforts to uncover the hidden story behind an old photograph she found as an undergraduate researcher. Despite showing both men and women working on the groundbreaking Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946, the caption only named the men.

Once a year, there is a research about happiness of 156 countries. It is called Word Happiness Report. As a result, we have a rank bases on how citizens feel though 6 areas: income, health, social support, freedom, trust and generosity.

According to statistics, Finland have won the last 2 years. It seems that government’s actions work. Some of them are: to have free education, to have free health care, even to provide paid annual vacation. Besides, parents can focus on their children with long paternity leave.

On the other hand, Finns have to pay more taxes than other countries, however they don’t mind it because they know where the money is invested so they are satisfied.

In addition, Spain is in the 30th position. It seems not bad but we have to keep on with improvements.

The USA is one of the biggest countries in the world. We can find a lot of cultures. Nowadays they have a problem with the race. If you ask white people, they don’t think there is race while you ask black people, they absolutely sure that race exists.

There are clear evidences that race is alive. For instance, when a with white family goes to the bank to apply for a mortgage, the bank’s requirements are less than a black family apply for it.

Race provokes segregation in the neighbourhoods, and it implies to have rich and poor schools.

It seems that with Obama’s election it had improved and Americans went on the right track. But unfortunately, Trump has destroyed every improvement.

It is not an excuse for society not doing anything. I should be in someone else’s shoes.

Nowadays everyone is suffering from the effects of climate change. We are at the beginning of this problem and every day it grows more. Every time we are consuming more and producing more.

In order to fix this problem, there are several associations that are fighting against it. We can find Green New Deal based in US, and Green Industrial Revolution based in UK. Both companies are suggesting similar plans against climate change. Their proposal focuses on the steps we have to take to avoid this climate catastrophe. These steps involve different sectors. For instance, in domestics area we can install double glazing and insulation. This will reduce the consumption of energy. While In mining industry, it is recommended to decarbonize (avoid to remove carbon from land).

Last recommendation is ironic because on the other hand, Government is giving subsidies to fossil companies.

Climate change is a current problem, it is happening now. You only have to check the increase of extreme weather conditions, hurricanes and floods. Now is the moment to take decisions thinking about our environment.

First, we agree with the importance of tourism in Catalonia. Tourism is one of the most important sectors because it provides a lot of jobs with shops, hotels and restaurants However, what kind of jobs are? Are these jobs enough for Catalonia?

In order to satisfy our tourists, tourism companies recruit new employees, although they offer a low-level job. Employees earn a low salary and work over the weekend and holiday.

Furthermore, the fact that tourism is a seasonal sector implies that employees have to work in different companies to earn money all year.

Not only is it necessary our government care tourism, also it should apply changes to improve quality’s job. It could invest in different sectors in order to have a balanced economy.

Nowadays, we are suffering the lockdown and this alarm situation is affecting tourism. It is the right moment to fix it.

What do you want to be when you grow up? This is a typical question that adults ask their children. The most common answers are: youtubers, football players or doctors. How many children choose farmer? According to the statistics, the number of farmers is reducing every time. When a farmer retires, there is no replacement because young people prefer another job.

At first, it seems it doesn’t matter because it is understood the most important companies are from IT industry, building industry, chemical industry, oil and gas industry. But after, we realize that all these industries are related to farming. There are so many products developed in farming, like food, drink even clothes (raw materials). So, we can confirm farming is connecting with other industries. That is the point we have to take care them, in order to guarantee a good economical behaviour.

One of the farmers’ request is to have a fair pricing. When we go shopping, we pay the retail price. However, the farmers receive much less price, so they are asking for a fair price.

When we do the shopping, we can see a lot of products saved in plastic containers/bags. It is clear, that plastic is the most common material used in our life. The main reason is that plastic is the cheapest material so companies prefers to use this material with the purpose of reducing cost. At first, it seems that is a reasonable practice, but after, when you focus on the pollution created by plastic, you realize it is an awful idea.

While glass or metal can be recycled easily by melting, plastic is hard to recycle. According to researches, we only recycle 5% of total plastic produced.

There is no way to destroy plastic environmentally, the only solution would be to avoid its use. At this point, it would be important that governments involve in this problem.

Nature is suffering the consequences of using plastic. It is very easy if you see the oceans, the rivers, the air. Animals are eating some plastic. Who eats these animals? People should think about it, it is our present and our future.

Spain's path out of Covid lockdown complicated by polarised politics - Opinion essay

# data[].attributes.body
In today’s world we find all countries fighting against lockdown. Every country has its habits, its culture, its language and its history. Despite this atypical emergency situation, I think Spanish politicians are not working together to beat pandemic, unlike the rest of other countries which their politicians are collaborating indistinctly the party to which they belong.

First of all, there are a lot of news related to allegations against the current government but where are the new ideas? What really counts is that they find the way to handle this situation and citizens do not suffer.

In addition, some communities are ruled by different parties, and they have done the same errors than government, so they are guilty too. Even ex-president ignored the lockdown.

On balance, in my opinion all parties should collaborate (no matter which party are). They have to focus on citizens’ health.

When I was a teenager, one of my favourite hobby was playing with video games. At that moment, I had got a SEGA Mega Drive. I used to play at the weekend. Sometimes it was difficult to find a slot time because in my house we only had one television, so it was necessary to come to terms with my parents. If I got lucky, my parents lent me to invite a friend and both of us could play together at the same time. I preferred to play with friend because with the other option I played against artificial intelligence, and it was more boring.
Nowadays it has changed. People can play together via Internet. In addition, if you have a smartphone you can be connected all the time. Headphones provide us the way to be playing with our friends and speaking with them simultaneously.
Gamers, and especially their parents, have to be careful with these plays and handle them correctly because otherwise, they could be addicted.

One of my favourite hobbies is travelling. To be honest, at first I didn't like it, but over time, I have learnt how to enjoy it. The main guilty is my wife. Thanks my wife’s effort, I have lived so many experiences in more countries, with different languages with distinct cultures. It has allowed me to have multiple perceptions of the world and to enrich my knowledge. I recomend to book a guide, thus, you will learn more information about the history.
My next trip will be Egypt. I booked flights and hotel for the last Easter week but unfortunately the lockdown has destroyed my plan. I wish I can go there in few years. Now it is too soon to know how COVID-19 has affected our everyday life.

Nowadays, we can find so many TV series in different platforms. At first, the films were the winners but over the years, people enjoy watching a TV serie greater and greater. From my point of view, directors can give us more details with TV series. TV series contain several seasons, and each season contains 1 o more episodes. This fact helps directors to go deep with the plot. They can enrich the plot adding a lot of relationships between the characters. One of my latest TV series is This is us. I recomend it to you deeply. It is about a family and their evolution. They have different problems depending on the period (born, teenager, adult).

When I was a child I liked playing with my computer. Now I am an adult so I don't do ...... I play with my Playstation 4. When I had to decide my career, I chosen Computer's Science. After I started, I realized that I was confused about the subjects and their contents (no games). But at the end I got my degree. Nowadays I work as a programmer in IT company, developing software. Additionally, I have more tasks out of my job. If my parents need to order the TV channels, I am the person who order them. In case my brother-in-law needs recommendations about which mobile is better, I am the expert because I am IT wise. It seems people don’t understand that within IT area there are so many technologies and I haven’t study all of them. But you don’t worry, if you have any problem you can call …… any other.

Once a year, 23th of April, Catalonia celebrates a special day called Sant Jordi. It is Catalonia's patron. This day couples exchange gifts. The women receive a rose while the men receive a book. It is a popular tradition and it is considered a romantic act. Don't worry, in case you don't have a partner you can exchange gifts with your family, even your friends or yourself.
One of the common practices
is to go to the streets of Barcelona, concretely in Las Ramblas street. There you can find a lot of shops in the street selling the newest books and flowers. If you have luck you can buy a book signed its author. In addition, this party comes from a legend, which Saint George kills the dragon and gets married with a princess.

In every country we can find the same political situation: there are several parties but at the moment of truth, 2 distinct blocs handle the decisions. All parties are used to hitting and hitting back their opponents. This is a typical behaviour that politicians have to defeat against rival.

The point of view of the news is very critical with Spain. The journalist compares how the Spanish politicians are handling the lockdown versus the rest of countries. This atypical situation is new for everyone and all of us are learning quickly. While in other countries the politicians of all parties are working together (no matter which party is), unfortunately, in Spain it is not truth.

Now, our government and the opposition have to decide about most of important decision: to approve or not an extension of the state of emergency. Instead, they are making allegations constantly. For instance:

·         The government celebrated an event around the country to celebrate International Women’s Day, in the middle of the pandemic.

·         It would be fewer deaths in an independent Catalonia.

·         The opposition rules Madrid, it is where there are more deaths.

·         An ex-president ignored the lockdown because he went out for a walk before outdoor exercise was allowed.

Nowadays no-one can get away with not suffering an allegation.

Politicians should think more about the citizens. It is not the moment for allegations; it is the time for solutions.

We can find a lot of cultures around the world. Each one has its convictions, they can be good or bad. I would like to talk about our culture called “The Spanish guile”. I think Spanish people believe they are the most clever citizens in the world and when they find a rule, they try to find the way to not comply with these rules. Furthermore, they enjoy explaining their irresponsibilities. It is like they have got a trophy that they want to show to other people. All these kinds of actions damage our society and therefore the rest of the people. This attitude encourages people keep not complying with the rules. We should look to other European countries.

One of the main reasons why Coronavirus spreads exponentially is because it can be transmitted by the air easily and the second one is because the recovered people still transmit it. This is lethal mix.

The government has told us clear rules. Despite most of the people are adults, we are not following these rules. Has the government treated us as children? It is a pity but I am sure that the government has to tighten the laws.

The researchers have confirmed that the best solution is to stay home. So, spanish government must force the quarantine like in China.

Hey everyone, this is my first blog entry. I study English and the main purpose of this activity is to practice my writing. In this entry I would like to tell you some information about my job. I work in IT area and I am specialized in creating reports. For instance, a company wants to know its sales per country so I provide a map showing the sales per country. Nowadays we are suffering a dangerous situation and there are lots of reports about Coranavirus. This is a good sample to understand the use of the reports. It allows us to analyse the data and get insights.
