How one person can change your life?

These days some people think that love is it isn’t real or in one determinate moment love is finished. But this is true? In the last years the numbers of divorces have increased and why this happens? The more people talk that this happens because the crisis, monotony, love is finished, infidelity and other things. But real love is fantastic and found this in one case is difficult and in others is easy. One person can change our lives, for good or bad but the changes. For example, one person thinks those don’t have marriage and didn’t have children, but falls in love and this partner makes you change life plans. In conclusion live the most of every moment of your life and enjoy.

One perfect week with the special person

Nowadays the society has done some importance to the big and expensive presents. But it is necessary? What is most important and beautiful one expensive present or a homemade dinner? I think that I prefer the second option, although to dirty the kitchen and eat don’t have salt or that although it’s very salty. But I don’t know if the rest of the society thinks the same because I believe that the society becoming more materialistic. If I imagine one perfect week with my boyfriend, I didn’t think in five stars hotels and in places very expensive. I like to stay in one mountain cabana and enjoy of the nature. I didn’t need the expensive presents I also need him.

Peanut allergy theory backed up by new research

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35727244

The last year one study says that the exposure to peanut products can reduce the 80% by the allergies. One study in the New England Journal of Medicine made one experiment, looked 500 children that probably developing a peanut allergy. In the 11 first months of life eat a sandwich with peanut and after five years didn’t eat peanut and maintain no allergy. In the UK and US combined have 20,000 babies with peanut allergy. In my opinion the allergy in the babes is very common, but the investigations are very important because is very dangerous that a baby eat an aliment that provoke allergy. Also are important the studies that help to reduce the numbers of allergies. Because the children want to eat everything and is very difficult to explain that didn’t can eat and the other boys can.

Orangutan population up but threats remain

http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35708288

In Somalia in the last estimation put the population in 14,600 the twice that in the last study. But the ecologists say, although that this number is big the poaching and loss of forest. Their forest habitat is fast disappearing and the investigators found orangutans in unexpected places, for example in higher altitudes in the mountains. Since 2004 the number of orangutan decline and this fact happens to the deforestation and poaching. The orangutans in Borneo and in Somalia are considerate two different species. 

In my opinion, this animal must be protected because the deforestation and the poaching reduce the number of these animals. And the animals didn’t live only in zoos and for this reason we must fight to preserve their natural habitat. 

Vocabulary:

• poaching 

More, more and more!

These years I can see that the citizens are more and more consumers of different products. Our system economy is based on the consumer and without this the economic system is ending. I can see this in the crisis of the last years because when the housing bubble explodes all the economy worse. But although the crisis the Spanish economy and the continued shopping and buy different things. The economy in all the world is based in buy, buy and buy. Also, all the products are fabricated with one a certain service life because over time you re-buy the same product.
