The Valley of the Fallen in Spain. At the end of the Spanish Civil War, a dictator was the winner of the war and all the human rights disappear of Spain. Thousands of citizens were prisoner in concentration camps and unfortunately many of them were killed. Then, the new government decided to build a tomb to bury the dictator. A beautiful place close of God with bones of soldiers and prisoners like a crazy man, simillar to the tomb of a pharaoh. It name was: The Valley of the Fallen. Forty years after the dictator’s death and Democracy came back to Spain. A new Constitution was voted which gave my country an opportunity to recover the civils rights. Unfortunately, nobody found a solution to thousand of people killed and forgotten in many places around the territory. Currently Spain is the second country of the World, behind Kampuchea with more bodies abandoned on fields and common graves without any identification. Many families tried to recover their grandparents buried with the dictator body in a crazy mausoleum, but different democratic government didn’t want to find a solution for all them. United Nations and other international organizations asked the Spanish government a humanitarian solution but nobody answered. Actually many of richest families of Spain, earned all their fortune along the war and consider a problem open the common graves and identify who were the murdered and buried there. In my opinion no country can forget their past. Millions of Spanish citizens need to know what happened in the Spanish Civil War. Today especially, people has right to exhume all bodies murdered, if we really want to bury and forget our wounds forever.

My Childhood in Spain. Good evening, My name is Carles and I am from Valencia, a beautiful town next to the Mediterranean Sea. When I was a boy Spain had a dictator known Francisco Franco. He had been killing people around forty years without any problem. Of course I was a boy and I didn’t know anything about him and my childhood looks like a perfect life. My brothers went to the university and played music at home of Victor Jara and Lluis Llach. My neighbourhood was full of children playing football between cars. It was the baby boom in Spain and I had many friends to playing, talking, and fitting. My mother used to down a basket with my snack every evening because any of us wanted to stop playing. My school was terrible with two pictures of fascist men on the wall and a crucifix between them. Our books were garbage and it was really difficult to learn something there. My teacher loved pain me in my head and I was so scared when he walked around me. I still remember someone who would beat up with a ruler everybody who opens his month. Sometimes a man coming to the street and brought roots of liquorice which we love biting for hours without any problem. I can remember like a dream people walking on the street who carry food to the bakery or someone with an ice bar on his shoulder because they didn’t have a fridge at home. At night, if someone didn’t have their home keys, used to shout “sereno!!” and a man with a uniform arrived whit the all the keys. It was awful because nobody could sleep waiting for the professional of the doors. Of course he not only brought keys, he was a spy who tried to know everything about the neighbourhood. On Sunday evening, we loved go to the cinema. It was a religious school which showed us a movie ones a week. But before the movie, we had to see many ads about the prosperity of Spain and his dictator. Everybody loved him and was like the North Korea government currently. Its name was NODO and nobody can forget the melody.

Stone statues at the door of the stadium. Olympic Games started in Greece two thousand years ago. Greece people loved playing and competing each other. Every four years all the Greece islands came to Olympia to learn who the best athlete of all them was. But if someone made trap and he tried to win bribing their opponents , referees imposed a seriuous ban and they had to paid a statue with his own name at the coming of Stadium. It was really hard because everybody could read or recognize his name like a cheater. Currently archaeologist continue finding some statues in Olympia. Since them, have passed many years, but currently some famous football players in Spain, have decided forget the rules and didn’t paid their tax every year. They could come to the prison and they have been to pay millions of Euros. Some of them are idols and teenagers around the World watch them like the most important people. Unfortunately no one ask them a statue to place at the door of the stadium. Finally I hope people grows up and understands there are many things more important than watching millionaires players fitting behind a ball every week. Probably many of them need to forget their own problems and dreaming some dull wish. Until them we only can wait.

The global warming Our climate is changing quickly and every day we can see effects simply opening the window. Temperature is growing and every summer is harder. Everybody knows emissions of CO2 are increasing but to reduce it, we need to stop our compulsive shopping and try to think twice if we really need the next product. The planet situation is pretty hard and people around the World needs to understand the meaning of responsibility word. Some centuries ago, our World starts an Industrial Revolution and cook become the best way to produce energy. Trains, ships and so on used to use cook as a normal energy way and the steam engine become a good way to move people and goods. Step by step, came petrol and new machines gave new vehicles like cars, plains, etcetera. Nitrates helped us to feed better and the habitants on the Earth planet increased dramatically. Petrol helped us to produce pretty clothes and millions of people could dress themselves cheaply. Worming effect produces remarkable changes around the World and Artic Ices were melting gradually. Every day some gorgeous specie like birds, mammals or fish disappears without any compromise of occidental countries to find a global solution. Some months ago the USA president, Donald Trump decided to forget the Kyoto deal and grow up the CO2 emissions without any control. Of course some countries were disagree whit him and they tried to find a solution, but if the most important economies of World decides to forget advices of scientists around the world, our Planet will disappear and children won’t be able to see thousands of remarkable species like wales, ice bears and some amphibious like a little and amazing frog. To sum up, I would like to tell you about the possibility to reduce buys of stupid stuffs which we consume without control and which probably we don’t need them. Bringing up animals to fide us, we are wasting water, plants and producing tons of garbage. If we replace some meat by vegetable, we’ll give a possibility to survive our planet and our health will be better. It is not impossible decision and my daughter will be grateful for ever. I wouldn’t to be rude by my report, but the future of Earth and my siblings are especially important for me. Thanks.

I which I had a crystal ball Many often, you think about past experiences which you would like to change. Some girlfriend or that job which you refused, but it’s a funny way to waste your time. On the other hand, I love predicting the future and I try to find news which confirm my theory about something. Of course, sometimes I get right but frequently I’m wrong about news, friends or whatever. What can we do? We’re humans and around thousands of years we’ve tried to predict the future. Since humanity started to control its time, everybody thought the possibility to predict its future or change its past. Time machine or crystal ball are normal gadgets to move along a small time line and changing fireworks in our mind. I don’t know how will be the future and the past is a bad memory in my mind. I love living my present and forgetting my time line but obviously, it isn’t easy, but I’ll try to do it in the future.

They live inside us. For ages, humans have fought against bacteria and many often, humans have died. Successfully one hundred years ago Alexander Fleming discovered penicillium as a great medicine to fight and win against infections. For instance, along the Secession War or the IWW, many surgeons worked cutting arms and legs. The other problem was how protect soldiers from dysentery or rates infections. Nobody knew anything about bacteria troubles. The Fleming discover was a new opportunity to survive to millions of people around the World. Today it continues being a good way to protect us. But not everything are good news. Last decades ago, many pharmacy companies are testing new medicines. Of course, occidental people want the best product and they use to buy new medicines to protect themselves. Many often they forget to finish their treatments and give an opportunity to survive and muting their illness. On the other hand, people try to save money and practice medical tourism. Look for a hospital in a cheaper country and go there to cosmetic surgery. They want to follow being young, but when they come back home, they can bring new infections which need hard and expensive treatments. And last but not least important is the use of medical treatment to protect animals from illness. Cows and sheep eat paracetamol or ibuprofen as a normal diet to protect them from diseases. Of course, when we eat them, we introduce some treatment which could be dangerous for us. I don’t try to find any solution but the war against bacteria will be hard and nobody knows who will be the winner. Last week the Australian government decided to add a new virus to kill millions of rabbits in Australia. They want to preserve their fields from a foreign specie. Good luck.

Learning a new language Some years ago, I decided to start studying a new language. Of course, at first it was really hard because I only could understand some words and I needed to spend many hours to feel that my job had been profitable. But step by step my English level was better and currently I can understand the plot when I’m listening a BBC radio program. At first, I used to listen radio programs which try to help people to improve their English vocabulary. I thought my level was high because I could understand almost always, but when I decided to start a real radio program I discover where was the difference. If you want to speak English fluently, you must find an English pub where you can practice English every week. I found one and every week I went there to practice with my friends. At first it was really hard because nobody understands me and many often me neither. But you have to be patient and checking how your mind and your ears understand words, expressions and finally sentences. I have found many friends there and we follow enjoying together laughing and speaking English. My next option was reading some English book. Internet is full of webpages where you can download many of them. Of course, with a vocabulary control. I think it has been a great way to improve my level and I recommend it carefully because speaking loudly can help you to pronounce better and will teach you where you must place the stress on the sentences. Finally, my worst work has been read the grammar rules and making their exercises. Sorry but I can’t do it. I know it has been a big problem because I have many mistakes for this reason, but what can I do? In this case, procrastination is the guilty. My mind can find any task before opening my grammar book. It’s hard but in my opinion, the results are really successful because a good English level helps you to find a better job or the possibility to speak with people around the World. At the end, it’s a good way to find friends, expand your knowledge and finally, open your mind.

A 3D printer I would like to tell you about the 3D printer. Nobody talks about them, but they will be a new way to make everything in our close future. Architects around the World consider the 3D printer as a remarkable way to build houses, factories, bridges and so on. They use an enormous printer which use cement as it was ink. Adding many layers, they can build easily a new construction. Some doctors are working hard to make body’s organs with patient’s cells and transplant ill organs without any medical problem. Making skin to burn people is a good option in cosmetic surgery, but maybe elder people could be interesting to change their own skin. Ikea could be in the future a place where you buy some furniture and a printer builds it and carries it your home without store up troubles. Of course, many transport will disappear and they could work to find new designs. Nobody can imagine how different will be our life and how many professions are going to disappear or create in the next few decades. Print new ways of life will be the next step and you can’t imagine how will be the future because nowadays, all of that is science fiction. It’s Interesting to imagine how strange will be the future isn’t it?

White lines in the sky. Many often I use to find articles on newspapers about white lines in the sky. People are used to talking about aliens, chemical products or minerals particles thrown from planes to changing the weather or fight again some illness. In my opinion, currently people are afraid. News don’t use to inform about real problems and many often, TV channels talk about stupid subjects. Nobody wants to make a good program about the orient war or the climate change. They prefer to make soup movies or entertainment programs thought to tired people who come back from their jobs and they need to sleep. It’s a pity because some years ago, news made interesting programs which help people to understand real problems. But someday media decided to stop and making laugh and help people to forget everything. The best solution for young generation has been turn off their TV and opening their computers. It’s a good option because you can decide what do you want to see and look for it. Unfortunately, many often they decide to play computer games and spend their minds to kill monsters or learn to fly by a bomber plane. Today I’m not really optimist. Probably I need to see the sky and some odd white lines in the sky.

The dishonesty I’ve seen a new documentary and I would like to write about it. It talked about how some lies, could have great effects in our lives. It tittle was: “The dishonesty”. The documentary was full of interesting instants but the most important to me, was an advertising company. Was a you-tuber, who makes videos every day, about its adventures with women and he decided to write a book. He needed to grow up its sales, but it was really difficult because nobody knew him. To improve their popularity, they though the possibility to build a bad advertising campaign about the new book. They paid many ads posters about it first edition and at the same time, they decided to destroy them. Very soon, the media started to speak about it and some channels TV, made some reference about that kind of book. Of course, they sold more than two million books. Many women decided to make presentations around the country and this book become a bestseller. Without know anything about the advertising campaign, they were working hard and more and more people started to know it. I been thought about it because many times, news are talking about a politician or so on and unfortunately its popularity grow and grow up. They were trying to disapprove it but at the same time, they were helping him to become more notorious or famous. To sum up, we must be careful and checking some decisions when we share some news on the social media like Facebook or Twitter, because we could be helping someone to be famous and at the end he could become president of the USA. Good luck.
