Book 8 part 4

How often do you watch television? To be honest, I don’t watch tv. I don’t have one because I don't need one, I prefer to spend my leisure/free time with my husband or my friends. Sometimes I watch some movies on the computer. I watch one or two movies per week and my favorite series Game of Thrones once a week. When I was a child I definitely watched too much television, maybe for 3 or 4 hours daily.

Which television channel(s) do you usually watch and why? I don’t have a preferred channel, because I don’t watch tv frequently, but I enjoy reading and watching the news on BBC. I also watch my series on HBO.

Do you enjoy the advertisements on television? Why or why not? In general I don’t like the advertisements because they sometimes occur/come up during the most exciting part of the movie and then I need to fast forward/wait for three or four minutes.

Do you think most programs on television are good? Why or why not? I think that a lot of directors/producers do a good job. We can usually/always find interesting programs, depending of the kind of program we enjoy.

Oblivion is a shame

It is estimated that over 130,000 victims of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship still haven't been found.

There are more than 2,500 mass graves in Spain. Only 740 of them have been opened and only 9,000 of the victims' bodies have been recovered.

It is not a matter of revenge, it is about justice. There are still a lot of people who need to bury their dead in order to heal their wounds.

We still have time to become a democratic society to be proud of. The Spanish democracy/government can no longer turn a blind eye to it.

My student

I teach chemistry. I have also taught mathematics and physics. Currently, I just have one student. He is 16 years old. Sometimes it has been very funny (to teach him) because when he was learning the name of the periodic table elements, he invented other names and I wondered where those names came from? Haha

I see that he has improved a lot in chemistry. He is able to name compounds, he can balance reactions, and he can calculate molar mass.

I think we are doing a good job together.
