She was lying on her board with her left arm under the water, when a tiger shark attacked her, ripping her left arm just

below the shoulder removing about 60% of her blood. She adapted a handmade table that was a little thicker, making it easier to swim. After learning to swim with one arm, she began surfing completely.

Lifestyle

Too much TV?

In general, we see much more TV than we should. Although we pass a nice time, the TV is bad for our health because it worsens our sight . Some shows of the TV create addiction and they are done in order to watch more television. Some doctors say that the best is to watch the TV about two hours a day and if you watch less time, it is better.

Researchers from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, say that watching TV two or three hours a day is bad because it causes diabetes, cardiovascular disease and premature death. Watching TV has become one of the most frequent activities in many parts of the world, like eating, sleeping or working. They think that the 40% of the population spend their free time in front of the small screen, which is an average of three to four hours daily.

We see TV for about two hours. In our opinion, we should see the television whenever we want, because we are free to take our own decisions.

The text is about an application called TV Allowed. The inventor, Randal Levenson teaches to watch the TV less hours than we should. TV Allowance is the way to reduce television time. It went on sale in America last month for $99 (fifty pounds).

The television is not very important in our lives, so we could live without it. We think TV Allowance is good for people that have an addiction to the TV.

With the new technologies like the mobile phones or the computers we are not going to watch a lot of TV because in the mobile or computer you can watch the same programmes.

Moral issues

Older mum not so bad

The older mums and fathers haven't got the energy that the have when they were younger, so there is no convenient to have a baby if you have more than 50 years old. On the opposite case young mums and fathers drop school and they haven´t got money for the child and they become adult so fast. If you choose the sex of the baby it isn´t going to be natural and the baby is not going to be healthy, so the best way to have a baby is to be something natural.

Food and health

The alcoholWe think that the idea of the Town Hall of Portugalete is so good because it helps the people to drink less. The people wouldn´t stop drinking but it is a good start.

It is acceptable to drink when you are an adult, more or less; so if you are a child it is unacceptable. The people are not allowed to drink when they are going to drive a car, because they can cause numerous accidents, and also when they are at schools because it is a place to study, not for drinking; and you are allowed to drink when you are watching the television, because you are in your house.

The alcohol has some effects. It affects the blood, brain, stomach, when you are pregnant, heart, pancreas, in the reproductive system, liver and oesophagus. When you are pregnant, the baby will have the effects of the alcohol too, so it wouldn't be a healthy baby. And when you drink a lot all the days, you can become an alcoholic.

So, in conclusion, drinking alcohol sometimes is not bad if you are an adult, but if you drink everyday it is bad for your health.

Work And EducationThe school´s name is St Gregory´s, in Bilbao. The size of each class will be of 18 m 2❑and colourful to give a cozy look The school will be of mixed sex because the children relate with the other sex and they learn the daily life. There will be uniforms because if there are uniforms there are not distinctions between the students.

The teachers are going to teach the normal subjects like Maths, English, Basque, Science… And other subjects like Drama, ICT...There are going to be funny things to make study funnier and easier, like Drama; here they learn to lose their shyness, so when they are doing speaking in Basque, English or Spanish is going to be easier for the students.

The school will start at half past nine and it is going to finish at ten past two. There will be classes every day from Monday to Friday. In each day there are going to be four lessons and each lesson will be of one hour . There will be a break of forty minutes to clear the mind. But in St Gregory's school there will be some rules, so not all is funny. Here are some examples:

- You cannot smoke or take drugs in the building.- You cannot speak loud in the corridors.

- You cannot hit another student.- You must take care of the school and the material that

is there.- You cannot insult a teacher or another student.- You must go to class every day.

The computer games addict

It is normal that nowadays young people spend a lot of hours in front of the computer, mobile phones or other technological inventions. Many young people use all of this to play videogames and not to look for help to do homework or works. These video games create serious addictions in some young people and it is not healthy. They don't do sport ,they don't study and they don’t go out; they prefer to stay in their house playing these games.

In some cases, it is true that it is only a hobby, but in manycases it is an addiction. When it is a hobby, they only play sometimes and a few hours for fun and entertainment, but they do other things too. When it is an addiction, they only think iofplaying the video games and they need their parents to take action or call a specialist.

Playing video games causes addiction, for example they need to pass the level that they are in the game, because if they don’t win, they get angry and they need to try again until they win.

We think that all the addictions are similar because all of those have bad consequences. For example, being addicted to cigarettes is bad because you are putting your health in danger . Other example is shopping because if you go shopping all the days, you will spend a lot of money. We think that all those addictions are hard to give up. If you get used to something, it is very difficult to give up.

Fairy Tales

CinderellaOnce upon a time, there was a beautiful princess called Cinderella. She married with a very handsome prince and they were very happy together. Their had a perfect life, with a castle, servants and love. They didn’t imagine life without one another

But some years ago, the coexistence together wasn't good because the prince was a lot of time out and they did not spend time like a couple. He wasn't the prince who Cinderella had imagined when they got married.

One day, a messenger said to Cinderella that he had watched the prince with other girls in the disco. Cinderella was very angry, depressed and sad, and after a discussion with the prince, they decided to break up theirrelationship. Cinderella put him out of the house. She gotthe castle, the money and the servants.

Cinderella was very sad, and to forget the prince, she went to the pub every night to drink. She became an alcoholic and she went with any boy who showedher a bit of affection. Her family and friends were very worried but they couldn't do anything to help Cinderella.

Cinema review: ‘Perdiendo el

norte’

The name of the last film that we have seen is called

‘Perdiendo el norte’. This beautifully shot comedy was

directed by a very famous

director; Nacho G. Velilla.

Also there are a lot of famous

Spanish actors and actresses

such as; Yon González, Julián

López, Blanca Suárez, Miki

Esparbé, José Sacristán,

Úrsula Corberó, Malena

Alterio, Javier Cámara, Carmen Machi, Younes Bachir and

Arturo Valls.

Yon González, called ‘Hugo’ in the film, is going to marry

Úrsula Corberó, called Nadia in

the film, but Hugo feels he is

in love with Blanca Suárez

(Carla in the film).

Hugo left Nadia on the day of

their wedding and he goes to

Germany to stay with Carla.

Hugo and Braulio, two students with university degrees and

masters, go to Germany because in Spain they can’t find any

work. When they arrive in Germany they soon realise that

finding a job in Germany is as difficult as in Spain.

We like this film because it describes a nowaday situation,

but with a funny point. The actors’ work is excellent; they are

very good in their work. We recommend all the people to see

this great film.

The image of women in publicity

The message of this image is that if you use this make up your skin is going to be as perfect as in the photograph. But in the real life no one has this perfection because they use photoshop. So if a girl buys this product and she doesn’t achieve the advertisement’s results, she is going to be very frustrated. Maybe a teenager has this skin but an older woman can believe that the advertisement is real and she throws the money to the rubbish. So I' don’tagree with this type of delusion.

The adverts influence our life because if we see an announcement that promises excellents results, we buy it. So the best thing with this is that you must be warned about the real effects.

We must not believe these announcements because we are going to be disappointed.We can't do another thing because the big companies are not going to stop this publicity because they receive a lot of money.

‘Fairy’ soap

With this soap you are going to use only a drop to have all your dinnerware clean.

Also, the price of this soap is so economical, only 2 pounds.

So you would have an excellent quality with a very cheap product.
