My say: American traditions

When we talk about American traditions like Halloween, some people who are not from America say things like: it’s an American tradition and we are not going to copy that because we have our traditions too. But the situation change when the tradition is called Black Friday. When we talk about Black Friday the people are agree with that tradition and go shopping in this dates. I think all traditions are good to import to our country but not in excess because in that case maybe our traditions are going disappeared. So that’s my opinion of American traditions imported to Europe.

My say: Christmas: tradition or marketing?

All the people celebrates Christmas but the question is: why?                     

At the beginning Christmas was a stage of the year to remember Jesus born, and the people were united with her families. When the multinationals appeared, all of that change and Christmas became a synonym of buy more and more presents to your family and friends. I think multinationals use Christmas as a machine to make money because with her publicity they obligate all the people to buy presents for all who are important to him. Anyway I think it's good for all because in this consumer society we are more united with the presents, and I know lot of people don’t like this but it's the reality. Although the people who don't like that type of Christmas, still buying presents so they are contradicting themselves. That's my opinion about Christmas talking about a different point of view.

My say: My first term in Btx.

Before to start, I want to separate this text in two parts talking about: the subjects I like, and the subjects I don't like.

In one hand subjects I don't like, are not going how I expected, they are going bit lowest. I think that the marks depended a lot on the interest you have in the subject. In my case I hate Catalan and Spanish and that's the reason of my marks in this subjects. For me is very complicated to study something you don't like and I think at our age, we should chose all subjects we do in class or if we have to do some subjects obligatory, this subjects should be related with the Btx we chose. 

On the other hand the subjects I like are going how I expected and I have no complaint with that.

In summary this first term can be better and in the second term I'm going to try to concentrate more in the subjects I don't like to improve my marks and obviously the same about the subjects that I like.

New: China begins testing world's largest radio telescope as construction of the £124 MILLION project enters final stage.

News article

Summary:

This news article explains about the construction of world's largest telescope. It measure 500 meters in diameter and it's being constructed in south-west China, more concretely in Gizhou Province. The project is called FAST which means Five-hundred-meter Aperture Sphercial Telescope and. In the text we can learn this telescope was tested on Saturday and it's going to be finished and running in September 2016 if all is correct.

This article tells us according to The China Daily the telescope will collect information of all universe using the connection of 4500 triangles (more or less) that mesure 11 meters long. The construction will cost £124 M.

My opinion:

I think it's a good project because maybe it helps us to understand some things in the universe that are impossible to be discovered without a telescope like this. Also it helps to improve the science in general and I thing it's very important.

Rebel song

Young Again - Hardwell ft.Chris Jones

When I was a boy, I dreamed of a place in the sky
Playing in the fields, battling with my shields,
Bows made out of twine

I wish I could see this world again through those eyes
See the child in me, in my fantasy
Never growing old

Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again

You wanna feel young
You wanna feel young, again

When I was a boy, I searched for a world that's unknown
All we have is fun, everybody runs, until the sun goes down

I wish I could see this world again through those eyes
See the child in me, in my fantasy
Never growing old

Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again
Will we ever feel young, again

You wanna feel young
You wanna feel young, again

I chose this song because I think that defines a rebel song perfectly. Maybe the lyric is too sorter than other songs but this is the best rebel song that I can found from the type of music that I listen.

The lyrics explains us the felings that people felt when they were younger and  the desire to be young again. I think that desire appears because when you are young, you are more free than when you are old, and people want to be free and do what he wants and don't following orders of nobody. Is strange for me to talk about the point of view of an adult person but that's what I think about this.
