Hurricane Irma
It seems that this hurricane is very dangerous, I have just passed on many tweets which talk about it while it is approaching Florida after hitting the French island 'Saint Martin'.
They say that twenty million people have been evacuated from the state. I have a friend who lives in Jaksonville so I just messaged her but haven't received a reply yet. I wish everything passes peacefully and the storm goes quitely.
This is a photo of people while they flee the state.0 votedSeptember 7, 20171- implementation of a tablet-based program for all educational stages Our society has changed a lot since Internet appeared in the nineties. Today, we can access to all information we want throughout smartphones, tablets and PC. Never before has information been so fast, cheaper and accessible. We live in a world where everything is connected. But, our methods of education have not taken advantages of new technologies. We are still using methods of the last centuries. We need to change them and one of steps our schools can do is the implementation of a tablet-based program for all educational stages. Before taking a final decision about the implementation of that measure, I would like to express my opinion about it. Firstly, the use of tablets in education will provide children with an interactivity environment. All activities will be able to interact among them, so as result, activities will be funnier and more suitable for all students, but especially for younger ones. Secondly, all materials used at class will be easily updated as well as uploaded whenever they would be used. In addition to this, teachers can have a different pace for each class depending on the level of students. Thirdly, less books will be required since tablets will contain all the required information. As a result, students suffer from less backaches and healthier life. However, there are some drawbacks of the implementation of this program. One of the cons, will be the cost of buying the tablet which will be required. I am completely sure about the impossibility of certain families to buy the tablet. Thus, some subsidies from Education Department will be needed. Besides, some specific courses for parents about how to use the tablet will be required. Not all parents are used to searching information on the net throughout tablets. Finally, a printer will be invariably demanded by each student if teachers entail the documents to be presented on a paper. To sum up, there are some benefits of implementation of this program but there are some drawbacks of this action that should be considered.September 7, 201700
A letter I'm writing to introduce myself and ask some questions...please correct as needed!
Presidente _______________:
Le escribo una nota rápida para presentarme ante usted y hacer algunas preguntas sobre como servir en el templo ______________.
Mi esposa y yo vivimos en Fort Collins, Colorado en los Estados Unidos. Somos trabajadores del templo desde hace 15 años. Trabajamos en Chicago y Denver antes de abrir el templo de Fort Collins. Ambos somos misioneros devotos y activos en la iglesia. Actualmente sirvo como secretario del barrio y mi esposa es consejera en la presidencia en una sociedad de socorro. Tenemos dos hijos casados y siete nietos.
Estamos interesados en servir el proximo año en una misión en el templo, después de junio. En el último Boletín de Oportunidades para los Misioneros Mayores, se dice que hay una gran necesidad de misioneros del templo que hablen español en su templo. Ambos somos capaces de hacer ordenanzas en español y trabajar en aprender de ellos. Estamos aprendiendo español todos los días como parte de nuestro plan de misión familiar.
¿Cree que podríamos ser útiles en su templo? ¿Tendría alguna recomendación sobre cuándo iniciar el proceso de solicitud?
Gracias por su tiempo y consideración,
Noel Jensen0 votedAugust 30, 20171- Are there too many tourist in Spain? Today, there is an important debate whether there are a lot of tourist people in Mediterranean places and therefore a limitation should be set up by regional governments to protect the environment as well as to preserve the natural resources to future generations. Firstly, in some regions of Spain big resort were built in the seventies and eighteens of last century to attract tourist people in seek of sun and excellent weather not only in summer but also in winter. Droves of northern European people arrived at Mediterranean coastline to spend their retirement period or staying their holidays surrounded by gorgeous beaches in a safe country. Furthermore, local governments encourage to real estate developers to build wonderful villas close to the beaches. What is more, conflicts and war in northern African countries have reduced the places where to spend the holydays in a near destination. Having said that, some critic citizens have declared that there are too many tourists in Spain and some measure should be approved to reduce their number. However, being tourism he main source of income of local governments to finance their budgets it is no sense to reduce their number. In addition to this, lots of jobs are focus on tourism in those places, most of them occupied by unskilled workers. Also, there are hardly factories in certain places in Mediterranean coastline to find a job in case of being fired from their current job. All things considered, it appears that reducing the tourist people to preserve the environment has dire consequences in local economies of the people who depend on tourism to feed their families. It I important to bear in mind this key idea when local parliaments vote in favour of some acts to reduce the number of people who can stay in certain places.August 29, 201720
- Violence acts in sport events Dear Sir I am writing to draw you attention to anti-social triggerings violence acts among certain footbal holigands we can see nowadays in all around the world, but especially in my country Spain. Recently, antoviolence acts have happened and therefore breaking news as well as the largest national newspapers have informed to people about the facts. One of them, was a quarrel among parents in a children football match of 9 years-old. In my opinion, some important measures should be approved by the goverment. One of them would be the impossibility to those parents who have take part in the violence football acts to acces to any sport event for a long period of time. In addition to this, a considerable amount of money as a fine should be pay to erradicate this destatable situations. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that children who parents take part in the situations should not be punished. They are not the gulties. On the contrary, they are the victims that sociedty sould protect in order to avoid they Will do this unaceptable situation in the future. I hope these disgusiting situations will not happen again and our society approve those necessary actions to eradicate them Your faithfullyAugust 28, 201700
- Environment Today we can see a lot of politicians talking about environment and what measures should be done to preserve the Earth to future generations. The consumption of fossil fuels and reduce our dependency of electricity generated by nuclear powers are commonly accepted as the key milestone to reduce. Last decade a controversial agreement was signed in Paris to reduce carbon footprint in our planet. Clear steps in the good direction. However, this year the biggest country, USA, has decided to unsuscribe the Paris Agreement which has dire consequences not only in USA but also for all the countris in earth. We are suffering an increase in the temperatures in Spain, and I strongly believe it has a direct consequence with the actions made by human being over last century. How can we stop this situation? How can we oblige other countries to force with the Paris Agreement conclussions?June 26, 201730

We depend on new technologies more than ever. If we look back at ordinary things we usually do, we will realize that our life is increadibly dependent on technology. New trends show us that this situation is far away to reduce. A new policy of implementation of a Tablet-based program in education is being discussing at parliament. If this measure would be approved, it would not be needed that students would use second-hand books from previous students. I must admit that implementation of this policy have advantages and drawbacks. Firstly, students would not have to bring heavy bags to school. Everyday, we can see how teenagers carry heavy backpacks where they put in all the books they need to attend at class. Experts warn us that an excessive weight could cause backache. If the program were approved no physical books would be required and therefore this problem would be eliminate Secondly, upgrading and updating of all the materials used at class would be very easy and cheap. In addition to this, all digital material could be uploading into the cloud where children could do their homework regardless where they would be. However, students that use new technologies to study have less capacity to stay focus on, according to some researches published in prestigious in journals. Technologies help us to get a lot of information although our capacity to remember is scarce. Another drawback is the fact that students could not take notes in the books when they are listening to their teacher. As a result, different approaches to study should be required. Last but not least, the cost to put in practice this program is very expensive for families, especially for those with low incomes. It would be necessary a clear policy to subsiadise to those families who can not afford to buy tablets. All in all, new technologies are changing our tools in education. Old methods should be replaced by new ones. We will inevitable have to do. There is not another way.May 18, 201730
Mi mejor amiga
Mi mejor amiga se llama Sarah. Ella es una persona despreocupada, extrovertida y a la que le gusta pasarselo bien. Es un amiga de la infancia. Nos conocimos cuando teníamos 10 años. Fuimos a la misma escuela de primaria y conectamos inmediatamente. Tiene una hermana mayor y un hermano menor. Su madre es japonesa y su padre es macedonio. Habla con fluidez japonés porque su madre habla japonés con ella en casa desde que era pequeña. También, ella iba a Japón cada verano para visitar a sus familiares y asistir a la escuela. Ahora quiere aprender el idioma macedonio, ademas de haber decidido recientemente estudiar español en la universidad. Actualmente, trabaja como profesora de natación y como niñera a tiempo parcial. En el futuro, le gustaría ser una profesora de inglés y japonés en una escuela de secundaria.
Juntas hablamos de todo y hacemos de todo. Somos uña y carne. Tenemos mucho en común y compartimos los mismos valores. Puedo ser yo misma con ella. Ella siempre me ha apoyado y ha estado conmigo en las duras y en las maduras. Ella es como la hermana que nunca tuve, y tengo mucha suerte de tenerla como amiga. Ahora que vivo en el extranjero, no hablamos tanto como antes. La extraño mucho y echo de menos pasar tiempo juntas, pero sé que la próxima vez que nos veamos, será como si no hubiera pasado ni un día.0 votedApril 4, 20171
