Summary:

The research from US says they are, and it can explain why. A team from the University of Pennsylvania says male and female brains are connected in very different ways, and this means that men and women are better at doing different things.

Opinion:

I think that the research from US explain the truth. The male brain with the female brain are totally different. First of all, because the males think all time in special things like football and food and the girls thinks in clothes and guys. So that explains that the girls and the men are better doing different things.

Vocabulary:

Brainy: clever, intelligent
Hard-wired: designed to work in a particular way which cannot be changed
Multi-tasking: doing several things at the same time.

DESCRIPTION OF A PERSON

Brígida, my elder sister. She looks like me because she has brown eyes and brown long hair. She's quite little like me and has a beautiful figure, now she's waiting for a child (Lluís) in one month. She's very smart and looks really attractive all the days, not only when she dresses up to go out with her boyfriend.
Brígida is working in an office in Santa Susanna. She speaks five languages: French, Spanish, Catalan, English and a little bit of German. She always goes abroad for her holidays. My sister loves going out to the country with somebody, because she really loves travelling.
She's good at volleyball, and now she does yoga or relaxing things like this.
Brígida always cheers me up when I'm depressed she has a wonderful sense of humor. I think her only fault is that she's always working, she doesn't have much time for her. I admire her because she's so calm and hard-working girl and when she laughs, then all the people laugh with her.


I CAN TALK ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY


Photography's a thing that I'm interested in since I was a child. Photography's my passion. You can change the pictures and change it with your own.
With a normal camera, I take beautiful photos. The kind of camera is not all in photography. You can take a photo in a prettier way than a person who has a camera better than yours. It's only how you take the photo, not with what you take it.
My camera only has four features: black and white, sepia, inverse and normal. But I always use the normal one. With my computer I have a lot of features more, because I've got some problems when I take pictures. I want to take the best shots, but sometimes there are some problems like: the zoom with the camera, the animal if I want to take a photo is moving, it gets blurred...

All I can say about photography is that, when I'm taking photos I'm feeling so comfortable and relaxed.

CHEMISTRY – THE SECRET OF ATTRACTION

We're attracted to some people, acording to numerous surveys, basically because we only want to feel closer to somebody.
A psychologist asked to parse at strangers to talk to each other about their feelings. That people were attracted by the intimacy, and it has also been demostrated that people feel closer.

The scientists have studied phrases of romances, but if you don't want to be down-hearted you can buy chocolate it's like a medicine for that.


THE CHANGE-UP

Last weekend I saw that film. It's a film to laugh and smile a lot. That's a film on Friday night.


Two boys meet in a bar and they are drunk, the men go to a park and they say at the same time “hopefully I've got your life” and an amazing thing happens.
The morning before that two men appear in the other houses with their body. They are so scared, but then they accept and they spend a week in that body in the life of the other man.

At the end, that two men want their life back so they go to the source in the middle of a center and the repeat the scene of . Next morning they return to their normal life. There is a lot more to explain, but is you watch the film you will enjoy it a lot.

I CAN TALK ABOUT BOOKS

First of all, I have to say that I don't like the books so much. But I think that the books explain a lot of things, and you can learn a lot by reading. I found some books fascinating, I like the romantic, comedy or drama ones. I usually read romance books, because that kind of books are easy to read and to understand. Probably I don't enjoy browsing in bookshops, because I prefer presents from the other people or recommend me some books.


If I have to choose the book, I always see the cover, that is a big thing for bring it or not. It's the first thing you see. I have more hardbacks than paperbacks, I think I have no paperbacks for a reason. That kind of books are strong, and never break. So if I want to save the book I always bring the hard books it doesn't matter if I have to pay a little more for them. In conclusion, I really like books as a gift.





I CAN TALK ABOUT MUSIC

I love music, I'm always listening to it. But I will focus on Maroon 5 and his singer Adam Levine.
Their music sounds very well and it's for all the ages. They are not influenced by anyone or anything, and of course their music isn't eihter.
They write and record their own music, for that reason, they now are still popular. Maroon 5 are at the top of the lists, because their singles sound very good and they are very popular too. They go to events during the year. Now, I remember the Victoria's Secret one, that they we're singing and the models were walking around them.


They also, do a lot of concerts, I think that Maroon 5 goes on a tour for all the countries, to present their albums: Over exposed, Hands All Over, Call and Respone, Live from Soho.
That band, have a great singer who's Adam Levine, and they have a telented musicians with lovely melodies, they prepare so well with beautiful lyrics motivating the audience and the fans.

HUMAN RIGHTS

1. What are human rights?
Human right are the rights you have simply because you’re human. Are the right to life, we are all born free and equal, freedom of religion.. and a lot more.

2. When and why were they created?
Greeks invented the human rights, in cyrus cylinder on 5039 b.C

3. How many human rights are there?
There are 30 human rights.

4. Which human right were you not familiar with?
I’m don’t familiar with the human right of the number seven: “We’re all equal before the law”.


HUMAN RIGHT Nº 13 - Freedom to Move


Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

The new word I hear is: within the borders (dins de les fronteres).

An example of this human right is that all the people can do everything, but always with laws. If you want to go to another country you can, but first you have to do some papers and buy the ticket for pass to the other country. So you’re freedom to move but always there are restrictions.


HUMAN RIGHT Nº19 – Freedom of expression


Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

The new words I saw are: seek and regardless. Seek is like search (buscar), and regardless it’s like heedless (independentment).


An example of that human right is that all the people can express with they want. Maybe a man can express his feelings like playing trumpet or playing football. All the people can express his feelings doing something. Cause we have to explain all the feelings we have.
