LA VITA È BELLA

La vita è bella is a movie about a love story in the nazi time. The film shows the horrors in a Nazi concentration camp.

The movie takes place in 1939 in Italy. Guido Orefice, a comical and sharp man, is leaving his old life and going to the city. From the start he falls in love with Dora who he sees later in the city where she works as a teacher. Finally Dora sees Guido's affection and they get are married and have a son, Giosué. But one day the nazi army caught them and put them in a concentration camp.
In the camp, Guido hides their true situation from his son.He sets up the concentration camp as a game for Giosué: each of the tasks will earn them points and whoever gets to one thousand points first will win a tank. Guido uses this game to explain features of the concentration camp that would otherwise be scary for a young child.
Days have past and a really bad new achieves: an officer makes the decision to execute Guido. Guido is led off by the soldier to be executed and while the soldier is leading him to his death, Guido passes by Giosué one last time, still in the character and playing the game. 

The next morning, Giosué emerges from the sweatbox as the camp is occupied by an American armored division. The young boy thinks he has won the game and has won a tank. The prisoners travel to a safety place, accompanied by the Americans. While they are traveling, the soldiers allow Giosué to ride on the front of the tank with them. Giosué soon spots his mum, Dora,  in the procession leaving the camp. Giosué and Dora are reunited and are extremely happy to see each other.

I think that is a very hard story because, given the circumstances, is very difficult to keep the happiness and give love but the family that the film show us, get it. I admire the strength that Guido has and the fight for keeping the family united. It is a difficult love but not by the persons, but by the circumstances that they went throw. Guido and Dora have a true love and they fight for keep it alive.
That's why this film is very beautiful and I recommend it to everyone.

IS THE VIRUS ZIKA THE ONLY THREAT?

In this article, Professor Jeffrey R. Powell told us the truth about the mosquito that transmits the virus zika and many others.

Lately we have been talking a lot about the zika mosquito due to the large number of cases that have happened, mainly in South America. Professor Powell thinks that we could have exaggerated the threat of this virus, as there are some reasons to prove it. What he is trying to explain with this article is that we need to realize that there are other kinds of mosquitos that can be even more dangerous than the only one that we're focusing all the atention.

I think that Professor Powell has a point, because we can not refuse to admit that there are other kinds of species that are dangerous for us. That happens because we only know what the news told us or what they want us to know.

DRESSED STATUES

This article, which was published on February 7 of 2016, Mario Vargas Llosa gives his opinion about the recent visit of the Iranian President to Italy and the consequences of this fact.

The author begins by explaining how the Italian Government has responded to the arrival of the president of Iran. His visit has made Capi statues of the country were '' dressed '' completely covered to avoid seeing their naked bodies and not embarrass the Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani. They have also exercised some other actions such as changing armchairs site to prevent the sight of a naked statue or not serve any alcoholic beverage.

Personally I don't think it's fair to hide a culture by simply receiving someone who doesn't belong to that same culture because the president of Iran would not probably put naked statues for someone from the Western culture.

PHRASAL VERBS

The other day one of my friends told me a story about his childhood. He often got into trouble as him and their friends made up stories that them acted out around town but he remembers one adventure in particular. One day as they were coming back from school, they came up with the brilliant idea to make out that they were pirates looking for a treasure. One of his friends said that he made out an enemy ship in the distance. They all ran for cover and picked up a number of rocks to use for ammunition against the ship as they got ready to put together their plan of action. When they were ready to set off on their attack, they slowly went along the path until they were face to face with their enemy: the postman's truck! 

The postman was dropping off a package at Mrs. Brown's house, so they got into his truck. At that point, they didn't have any idea about what they were going to do next. The radio was playing so they turned down the volume to discuss what they would do next. Jack, on of them, was all for switching on the motor and getting away with the stolen mail! Of course, they were just children, but the idea of actually making off with a truck was too much for us to believe. They all broke out in nervous laughter at the thought of them driving down the road in this stolen Postal Truck. Luckily for them, the postman came running towards them shouting, "What are you kids up to?!". Of course, they all got out of that truck as quickly as they could and took off down the road.

DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON

Her name is Nerea and she's one of my best friends. She's sixteen years old and she's studying 1st batxillerat. 

About her appearence, Nerea has a slim body and is not too short or too tall. She has curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. She also has thin eyebrows and long eyelashes.

Nerea and I have quiet the same personallity and agree in a lot of things, that's probably why we love spending time with each other. She's very sweet and kind, but she also shows her character when she has too. 
Nerea is a really artistic person, she plays the guitar and has an incredible voice. I really enjoy listening to her, it makes me feel really proud of her. Also she does really good advices when you have a problem and usually talking to her makes you feel better. But, of course, she's not perfect and that is what we have in common. Nerea and I are really lazy because it takes too long before we get ready to going somewhere or even focus on our studies.
