NO SMOKING: Drive me home, Daddy!!

In the UK, there are about 10,000 million adult smokers and most of them also smoke while they're driving, although children come along with them.
I reckon it's a great idea this new law of England and Wales of not smoking in cars with children. In my opinion there should be a similar law in Spain.
Drivers and passengers that break the law could face a fine of £50.
Because of the parents who smoke in cars, children become passive smokers, and they might have asthma, meningitis, etc.
I think it's also good that the law says that it's banned to smoke even if windows are open, because smoke can stay in the air for up to two and a half hours even windows are open.
But, I don't entirely agree with the law when it says "Whenever an under -18 is in the car, smokers will still be liable even if windows are down or sunroof open". I reckon if the teenager that goes in the car also smokes, the driver shouldn't be fined.

But this isn't the only problem, lots of people die each year because of smoking and doing other activities that can distract you while you're driving. In addiction, smoking can distract drivers.

Do you really want this?

AINHOA AND ME

Ainhoa is my best friend. I have known her since my childhood and we have always been together. I love her a lot!!

My friend Ainhoa is very beautiful. She's got green eyes and long brown hair. She's got shightly dark skin. She isn´t tall, but she isn´t short, either.

My friend and I have got similar interests. She likes buying clothes, going to the cinema, dancing. She also loves animals. And I, I like buying clothes too, dancing, singing, walking my dog, etc.

But we also have some differences. She hates studying and doing homework, in fact she repeated first of ESO. However, now she's studying more and she passes her exams. An other difference is that she's daring, and I'm not. I'm a bit shy.

MAGIC JOHNSON

Earvin 'Magic' Johnson was born on 14th August, 1959, in Lansing, Michigan. He's a retired American profession basketball player who played point guard for Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA for thirteen seasons. He won championships in the high school and college. Johnson was selected first in the 1979 NBA draft by the Lakers. He won five Championships and a NBA finals during the 1980s. Magic Johnson retired in 1991 when he announced he had contracted HIV, but he returned to play in the 1992 All-Star Game, winning the All-Star MVP Award. During his career, he had won lots of awards.

The nickname 'Magic' comes from the high school and it's due to its great ability to pass, that allowed him to hand out many assists.

He's considered as one of the best basketball players in the NBA history.

BLOOD

WHAT DOES BLOODY MEAN?
WHAT'S BLOOD?

Bloody means 'Sangriento,maldito, dichoso,etc'. In the UK it's also used as an intensifier of an adjective 'very, as'.
Blood is a bodily fluid in animals that delivers necessary substances like nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports waste products far from those same cells.

Blood is responsible of the coagulation, transport hormones, regulation of body pH and body temperature, supply of oxygen to tissues, removal of waste, etc.

The average adult has a blood volume of five litres, which is composed of plasma and several kinds of cells (red blood cells,white blood cells and platelets).

I reckon the most important things you can do to have a healthy heart is do exercise, not smoke, not drink too much alcohol and have a balanced diet.

JURASSIC WORLD, THE NEW BLOCKBUSTER

WHAT ARE DINOSAURS??
Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, 231,4 millions years ago, and they were the dominant vertebrates for 135 million years. Dinosaurs became extinct. It's believed it was produced by a meteorit.


Today, there are lots of films about dinosaurs. These films create models of dinosaurs from wood, plastic, paper, iron and other materials.

I saw Jurassic World at the cinema last Wednesday. Jurassic World is an American science fiction adventure of dinosaurs film directed by Colin Trevorrow. The film was released on June 11th, 2015. It's based in the other three films of Jurassic Park. This is a film which has been most seen since Titanic.
During the first weekend, the film won the record of the highest growing film in the world, beating the saga of 'The Avengers' and the last film in the saga of Harry Potter. It raised nearly 731 million of dollars in the first week. Currently, Jurassic World is in the third place of the highest- grossing films.

'The park opens its doors after twenty-five years, after the closure of Jurassic Park. The park is working on a new attraction with a new dinosaur called 'Indominux Rex' more intelligent and fiercer than any other. What would happen if it escaped?'

I know that most of the dinosaurs in this film were created digitally, but others were handmade, because the actors had to interact with them in the film.

I reckon Jurassic World is one of the best films I've ever seen.

HAVE YOU EVER VISITED PARIS?

I was in Paris in February with the Official Language School. It was an awesome trip! It was the first time that I was in France. We were there for one week, it was very cold but it rained only one of these days.
In Paris, we saw lots of famous monuments and places like the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre Musuem where I could see for the first time 'The Mona Lisa', we also saw The Notre Dame's Cathedral, the most famous cemetery in the world 'Cimetiére du Pére Lachaise, where there are buried many famous people like Eugene Delacroix, Victor Noir, Gilbert Becaud, Oscar Wild, etc. One thing that I really liked was the boat trip by the river Seine. We also visited 'Galeries Lafayette' where there were lot of make up, clothes, etc, but they were very expensive.
We moved from place to place through Paris by subway and RER.
In summary, I did lots of things that I wanted to do since I was little, even, a man made a caricature of me :)
And the most important, I revised my French!! I would like to go once again.
