This news was published the 27 of November in the newspaper El País.
This news talks about what is the Black Friday, what is the origin, what is the objective, where and when takes places, how long it lasts…
Then give you some advices, and talks about what can we do to benefit of Black Friday without they fool you.
I choose these article because I was looking for information about Black Friday and when I found it I thought this was very interesting. Is curios because I think is all a deceit. They want you to believe the price is lower when 2 days ago they raised for then in Black Friday put them lower. Also there are many discounts not for all the things but for limited things. So it’s a good opportunity if you want to buy some things but you have to be careful.
Now that we have
closer Christmas I would talk about a thing that every December I saw; the
Christmas lights. I could talk about how beautiful they are and how makes the
city more Christmas, but I can’t because the only thing I can think when I see
that is …how many hypocrisy!
Christmas is
theoretically the time where we have to be more generous, grateful…. Instead of
that, next to the shops where we are buying a lot of presents, there are poor
people asking for money, and seems nobody takes care about that. Also all these
shops are full of light for a boost to make people buy more, in other words for
interest. So where is the nice part? In addition all the streets are filled of colorful
lights, lighted during days… how many money they spend with all this lights?
They probably
don’t think that in another parts of the world there are children that can’t
celebrate it, and if we pay attention
there this children in our city too. So If I be the Mayor one year I will
suggest to instead of spending all this money in this beautiful Christmas
light, they use this money to buy food and clothes to the mans who are next to
this shops asking for money.
But seems
nobody has thought in this choice… people only see what they want to see, it’s
easier.
During all my
years at school i have been having very different teachers. Teachers with different
ways to teach, different ways to evaluate, so different types of exams. Some of
them I’m not agree with, so now I’m going to expos my opinion.
The exams I am talking about are these exams
that seem endless and impossible, which seems his objective is make you fail.
It doesn’t matter if you have studied a lot during days an hour and you know
all, because when arrives the exam you can’t prove all you have learnt. Why?
Because there aren’t enough time so you have two choices; first one, you write
very fast, missing things, forgetting about spelling… or the second one, you
just try to do some of the exercise the best you can.
In both cases
you probably won’t have the mark you deserve. This is how they motivate us.
Theexamsshould serveonlyto demonstratewhat you know.
The topic of
supernatural power is not new; there are a lot of faction films and books that
talk about it. So now I’m going to expos my opinion.
If I had to
choose a supernatural power, that will be the mind-reading ability. I know a lot of people would say
other superpowers like the ability to fly, maybe the immortality, the
invisibility, to be the strongest person of the world…
Honestly I
think all this supernatural abilities are nothing deep or useful. We are who we are because we think and we
have personality, and one of the vital functions is the relation so in my
opinion the best superpower will be the mind-reading ability. I think that you
really know people when you know their thoughts, motivations, fears… Everybody
is different and unique, so that is quit impossible.
Finally I
find really interesting psychologyandpsychoanalysis
so I truly like to have this ability. This
will be useful for the evolution of this science and to help people.

The Battle of the Oranges is a festival in the Northem Italian city of Ivrea.The battle takes place during the historical Carnival of Ivrea, on February and lasts Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The orange battle starts Sunday at 2pm.
Legend says that some time between the 12th and 13th centuries, Ivrea’s lord attempted to rape the daughter of a miller on the eve of her wedding, because he could take the virginity of his serfs’ daughters. But the plan fail, and the rebellious young woman decapitated him and she set the town free from his oppression.
This battle involves thousands of townspeople, divided into nine combat teams, who throw oranges at each other. The carriages represent the king's fortress and the orange throwers the revolutionaries. Originally townspeople used to throw beans, then apples and finally in the 19th century, oranges came to represent the stones thrown at the king's castle.
Although the carnival has prompted criticism for the number of injuries and the waste of oranges, the townspeople of Ivrea consider it an important part of their culture.
When I was looking for a festival to write about I didn't imagine that could exist this Battle of the oranges. This festival surprised me and I found it very funny, that is why I decided to search information and talk about it.
I like this battle for a differents reasons. One of them is that is based on a legend and it is part of the story of this town so the battle is not in vain. Another reason is because I think it's a very funny way to remember the legend. Scares me a little the warning of the consequences of the oranges hits but however I would participate it.
HELLO ANNA
Hello Anna,
I'm mireia and I'm gonna present me a little bit.
I was born in Figueres and I have lived all my life in Riumors, a very small town that nobody knows.
I have two brothers, two dogs, two cats and one fish, and they are almost always lovely.
My hobies are play the guitar, watch series, having fun with friends and doing sport. I love doing sport but i don't practise one in particular.
I think i'm cheerful and empathetic but also i'm impatient, carefree and a little untidy.
I don't know yet what i would do in the future but for now i just care about this batxillerat.
