Education is a human right



Without a doubt education is really important because an educated person has more opportunities to have a better quality of life and also can help to improve the economic development of the society and the stability of democracy.

I think knowledge is considered as power in our society and all over the world because the more education we have, the more opportunities to get a good job. And the better our job is, the better our quality of life.

Also an educated person can have a better social interaction because you can keep a conversation without problems, you have some values learnt at school. Therefore, you know how to interact with others.

“Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well”, Aristotle

The Ideal City?


I think this city is too idealistic because to live here you have to change your mind set and I don't believe that whoever can do that, so just some people can live in this city.


Everything seems perfect but to make this project come true it is necessary to have a lot of money and I don't think it is easy to get that amount of money, because just less people believe this project can work in our society.


I think that Victory city has advantages too, for example the transportation plan is great because you don’t have to wait an hour to take a bus and also we are going to live in a city with low levels of air pollution because elevators will be use more frequently than buses or cars. Also I’m not good at cooking, so to have this huge dining room is a great idea because people won’t need to cook anymore.


The pictures of victory city remind me a place in the movie The Lord of the Rings. This place is where elves live and it is called Rivendel. I was fascinated when I saw this place in the movie, so when I saw the pictures of this city I felt something special too.

I would like to live in a city like this, where everything is very organized, clean and with low levels of air pollution, but unfortunately I don't think we can make this dream come true, just because human beings hate huge changes like this one.

Living Alone


Nowadays most of the people want freedom and to have their own space. That is why the percentage of people who are living alone is increasing. We all have to choose between having a partner or be a single person but wherever we decide it is important to know that both options have advantages and disadvantages as well.

Less couples and more loners is the new trend of living. Most of the people don't want to share their own space and they like peace and quiet much more than having a partner. Also loners prefer to have a day without worrying about anyone else and they love their independence and privacy.

But of course there are still people who don't like loneliness (that's me). Some people do like to have a company, somebody to talk to and someone whom you care about and vice versa. But the most important thing is that they really like to have somebody to share their feelings such as love and happiness as well.

As far as I am concerned people are living outside marriage and they love freedom of having a place of their own. I know living alone has several advantages but I am sure I couldn't sleep at night alone, so I need and I want to have a partner to live with and to form a family as well.

My favourite movie


My favourite movie is The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson. One of the reasons I love this movie it's because of the main character: Elijah Wood. He is my favourite actor and his performance as frodo in this movie was really great.
I also like the culture of middle-earth and the story of the movie as well. Wizards, Elves, Hobbits, Orcs, all together fighting for a ring with fantastic powers. But of course the movie has much more of a meaning than that. It's a story of hope and how two little people save the middle-earth and commit to the impossible, dethroning an evil emperor.

But what about the visual effects? I think Peter Jackson and his team did a very good job because they worked a lot to create a physical and digital middle-earth to make this epic movie seem very real. Also to create Gollum they use a combination of a computer animation and motion-capture technology to give him realistic joint movements.

Here you can see the trailer of my favourite movie of the trilogy: The Return of the King

My favourite song


My favourite song at the moment is "Who's crying now" by Journey. Months ago I heard my father singing that song and I asked him the name of the song and I download it. I really liked the rhythm and the lyric as well.
When I listen to this song I feel I am in the seventies and of course I can't stop singing it.

Who's crying now lyric

It's been a mystery and still they try to see
Why something good can hurt so bad
Caught on a one-way street, the taste of bittersweet
Love will survive somehow, some way

One love feeds the fire
One heart burns desire
I wonder, who's crying now
Two hearts born to run
Who'll be the lonely one
I wonder, who's crying now

So many stormy nights, so many wrongs or rights
Neither could change their headstrong ways
And in a lover's rage, they tore another page
The fighting is worth the love they save...

(chorus)

Only so many tears you can cry
'Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die

(chorus)



Here is the video of the song. I hope you'll enjoy it as I do.
