In this picture, we can see a family at the beach. Two children and their dad are building sand castles with blue and red shovels and buckets. The mum is looking at them sitting in a white plastic deck chair under a beach umbrella. The daughter is brown-haired and wear a blue swimming wear with flowers. The son has a blue hat and green swimming trunks. Dad has black hair and black swimming wear. Mum is light-brown haired and wears a bikini. There's no clouds in the sky and they seem to have been having a wonderful day.

Final Reflection

Looking Back is the Key to Moving Forward

This post is going to be a flashback on my firsts blogs to know if i have improved my English. In my first post, I spoke about my summer experience in 2013.

 Now, in June of 2015, two years later, I think my post is easier to read thanks of images and videos, and the vocabulary and grammar is not as simple as two years ago. 

My best level of English is on listening and reading, I have a good reading comprehension in all languages that I have studied, probably cause I use to read so much and listening in English cause I use to listen to English music and sometimes watch an English film or series.

The most useful activity in these two years to improve English was to read books. If you read something you like, you are not studying, you're just having fun. But you learn at all. This is an activity which makes you improve vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension.

On the other side, some grammar classes were useless to learn English cause you can't just memorize a language, you should know where to use things you know. If you learn "first conditional, second,..." you don't even know which one is every one. It's better to know all conditionals and what they mean.

I would like to read another English book, continue with blog (I don't like it, but should accept that It is useful), and some listenings because the people which don't do it at home needs to do it in class.

Could a real dragon ever carry a human?

If dragons were real could you actually ride one?

In this video, Alan Boyle explain us about the largest flying animals that humans know and say that dragons couldn't carry a human because if they were big enough to carry a human, their own weight should be imposible to carry.

He talk about the biggest animal that humans have ever discovered, Quetzalcoatlus, which was a Pterosaur. The largest one we have found had a wingspan of 52 feet.

As you can see, the problem of dragons to carry a human is not to be so little but to be much large

Murderers in New York

Two Escaped Murderers in New York

Five days ago, two murders scaped the Clinton Correctional Facility in upstate New York. Ther're over 250 officers going door to door, looking into the cars, vans and other vehicles and searching in the forest.

Governamental institutions ofered a reward of 100,000 $ for information about the two murderers. The New York State Police have received over 500 tips about the imvestigation.

I think it's so strange that in this days someone could scape from a prision in USA, they have  a really hight amount of officers and soldiers, Think that the prisioners have run away with someone helping them into the police because if They could do it alone, USA have a really big fail in security and they should improve it.

Opinion essay

Have we made the world a better place?

In the last century, human population has doubled, there were two world wars and we have destroyed near all natural resources in the earth. In Europe and North America, people have cars, computers, food and water. They are the lucky people.

First, there are lots of people, milions in Africa, Asia and south America who can't drink clean water and eat enough food.

Second, in the rich countries, we have everything we need, and what we don't need. But the people happiness hasn't incresed in the last years, We lost a lot of real friendships and most people is selfish.

In conclusion, the world has become a better place for the richest people but not for the poor and medium class people. Every year there is more rich people and more poor people. The medium class, which have cost lots of work in the last generations to be created is disappearing.
