- 2001 A Space Odyssey review 2001 A space odyssey. 2001: A space odyssey is a 1968 film by Stanley Kubrick set in the future 2001. Today it is considered to be one of the best and most influential movies ever made. 2001: A space odyssey is based in part of a novel written by Arthur C. Clarke ‘The sentinel’. In this movie, there are two main characters. The astronaut Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and HAL9000, a computer whose voice is played by Douglas Rain. They and other astronauts are assigned to a special mission near Jupiter because an extrange artifact was found on the moon and they want to know what that is and maybe who put it in there. But, the astronauts are not told about the real purpose of the mission and therefore in the traveling, really strange things happen to the computer which goes ‘crazy’ and put in danger the mission. Alright so far. That is what a normal person (as I was) would understand for the movie. But, if you really analyze it, you would realize that the plot is not the mission. It goes really further. Actually, it is about the human evolution through millions and millions of years. That is the reason for which in the first scenes, you could see some proto-humans surviving and the presence of a really strange monolith which alters their behavior and make them be more intelligent. Then, the other sub story begins... The plot of the movie is really hard to understand. Therefore, there are people who criticizes it and they are not wrong. That is to say, without a deep explanation, this movie would appear to be really slow and confusing. But once you go through all the details, clarifications and rewatch it you would find why it is considered to be one of the greatest films ever made. This is not a normal movie. This is a really deep and amazing one which I am sure you will love when you start to notice what the true meaning is. This is a classic that you should understand if you are a cinema fan. I recommend you to see it and then to search for a full explanation on the internet. or if you prefer, you could read the book and make your own interpretation.October 14, 201500
- Air Pollution The air pollution is a big problem nowdays because it implies that the air that we need to live will be no longer breathble. We will be more likely to have lung cancer if this problem continues. The air pollution is not only related with air but alse with water, the water will be as polluted as the air so we won't be able to drink it. The main sources of pollution are the cars and factories which uses a lot of fossil energy and in the process, create smog and pollution. In order to solve this problem, we can think about two solutions. The main solution is to use less fossil fuels and start to use clean energy. The fossil fuels make a lot of pullution because it's needed to burn them in order to produce energy. As a result the air become polluted by the smog produced in this process.Clean energy instead, doesn't pollute at all. New ways of creating clean energy are developed by the science and engineering. The clean energy is cheaper, more powerful and of course cleaner. In addition we have the secondary solution which is a complement for the main solution. We must start using more public transport instead of your own car. it's not a secret that the private transport is not going to be the solution even if the car used clean energy, the problem is that there are going to be too many cars that we wouldn't be able to build new roads without damage the enviroment, we'd need to cut down too many trees that the forests would be very rundown. Using public transport instead is the best thing we can do be cause it uses less energy and we don't damage the enviroment. To sum up, we must start using less gasoline, more clean electricity and leave our car in home and take the public transport.April 16, 201520
- Public vs private transport When you think about transport, you have two options, public or private. Which is better? Private transport is based on that every people have their own car. For this reason we need bigger and bigger roads everyday. Also, the pollution is being increased with every single car that enters in roads. We need to waste more money in gas. Some day the amount of cars will be so big that we won't have space to move around the streets. However, private transport is more comfortable than public transport because we have more space and we're able to take it whenever we want. On the orther hand public transport is being suposed to be the future's transport because it's more sustaintable. Actually if you think a little, you'll notice that implementing a good system of public transport is easier than implementing the private one. We'd need less roads, less cars, less energy. Moreover, if there were less cars, the traffic would move quicker. In conclusion, we need to start to change the way we think about private transport and start to consider the public trasnport as a the best solution for citie's future.February 26, 201510
- Could you help me to check this? thank you From: Mauricio To: Adriana Subject: Introducing me! Hi teacher, how do you do? I just sent this email for let you know more about me, your favorite student jajaja, I’m just kidding I’m 18 also I’m studying systems engineering in the national university of Colombia, I’m very happy because of that, my family is formed by four people my mother father and brother who is 15 and want to study architecture and me of course! I consider myself a funny person also very responsible and sociable, I’m solidary I always try to help people when they need also I’m very respectful, I try to be organized but it’s very difficult so sometimes I’m a bit untidy, before enter university I didn’t use to work in groups but now I like it although sometimes it’s more difficult specially when others don’t agree with you, but well I believe I’m doing it better day per day, I used to be very proud and didn’t listen what the others said but now I know that it’s very important not only for academics but life. My favorite hobby is playing guitar I started when I was 15, I really like playing rock music but not only I play romantic music as well, other hobby I have is programming computers because you can do whatever you imagine in a PC and get paid for it!, not now but I hope nearly, I’m so interested to work as software engineer in big company like Google, Microsoft, Facebook. But it´s not all a bed of roses, because when I work in groups specially for programming I can be aggressive because I defend my point of view until the end, sometimes I was wrong , I expect I’m going to learn to deal with it and try to be less aggressive when other don’t think like me. That’s all thank you for reading ByeAugust 28, 201410
- Yesterday of The Beatles, why does paul say? Why does paul say "Why she had to go, I don't know she wouldn't say" instead "Why she had to go, I don't know she didn't say" ? I ask this question beacuse in a spanish translate I've seen that sentence is "¿Por que ella tuvo que irse?, no sé no me lo dijo" and that statement is in simple past, so the translate is bad or in english can you also use would reffering to past simple? or maybe isn't that statment in past simple?, thank youJuly 1, 201470
