My Favourite TV Series

TEEN WOLF

This Tuesday started a new season of my favourite TV series. I was very exited because this will be the last season of Teen Wolf and I’m very curious about what will happen. The last season was great and I hope this one will be better and don’t disappoint me. 

In general I watch a lot of series, in English, obviously. My favourite ones are Teen Wolf, Breaking Bad (which talks about chemistry) and Game of Thrones (I don’t know how to start to explain what is about). I also watch Quantico (about FBI and CIA) and Orphan Black (is about clonings).

Teen Wolf is about werewolves and others supernatural creatures; I started watching the series the 2013 when I was in 2nd of ESO. Actually, I’m still in love with this series.

I saw in the trailer of this season things I was no expecting to see, like Stiles’ new girlfriend or the appearance of Derek. In general all the season 6 is about Stiles, my favourite character and also the most wonderful boy I had never seen. He is very amusing and he’s also very smart at everything.

So, this season is about REMEMBER: A supernatural creature appears and takes everyone who can see it with him. Stiles is one of them and everyone who had known him will forget him completely and he will disappear forever. 

I’m very impatient about what will happen this season and I hope they don’t leave me with the intrigue.

Paper bike helmet wins Dyson award

Isis Shiffer is the designer of the EcoHelmet: a recyclable, folding cycling helmet made of paper that has won a James Dyson Award. This project is made for people who use bikes and may not always have a helmet with them.

The idea of a bike helmet appeared when she was exploring new cities. She hadn’t a helmet with her and she didn’t want to spend money buying one.

She wants to design a cheap helmet made of recyclable materials that would cost less than $5.

The structure of the helmet is like a honeycomb (for protecting the head of the impact), it is also very solid and is coated with a material that makes it rain resistant (for between 3 or 4 hours). The plan was tasted at Imperial College because they have a test rig for helmets.

The helmet has a limited number of uses and it will deteriorate over time.

The UK’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents don’t approve the product because they don’t know enough about it, so they give the award to an Australian group that designed an asthma management system, and to a smart contact lens designer from Canada.

I don’t think is a good idea spending money to develop the helmet instead of using that money for doing something useful, like diseases research. I still think this helmet is breakable and it’s made of paper, this can’t be rain resistant!

Well, I’m not agree about this project because is useless, it will be hard to sell and there is no information to prove the real qualities from the product. I’m not supporting this investment. Sorry, Isis!

Some Motivation

We need to have this mentality. Just because we think we can’t do something, doesn’t mean we should stop trying. Because we can do everything we propose. As we fail and fail again, we learn more and more about ourselves. And we can use what we learn to be better at something. Untill one day, we'll be able to do the things we called “impossible”. So if you have given up on something you want more than everything, no matter what is it, try and try again. Because it will be worth it in the end and if you love what you’re doing, you’ll be successful and happy.

Port Aventura

PORT AVENTURA DAY!

Last month my friends and I went to Port Aventura in Salou. Port Aventura is the best theme park ever and we enjoyed a lot. I had already gone to Port Aventura twice with my family and my cousin, but I never went with friends till last month.

Anisa, Anna, Yasmina, Iulia and I were waiting the day anxiously and when the day came up we were very excited. We take the bus to Port Aventura and I do not know what happened during the ride because I slept over.

We arrived at 11 am so we had a whole day to get on a ride on the all attractions or, at least, that we thought.

The theme park was full and the queues were endless. So we got on in the Pirate Ship because there was no queue. After that, we went to Shambala, the tallest roller-coaster in the world, and we wait more than two hours till came our turn. But the lost of time was worth because the roller coaster was amazing.

Then we went somewhere to eat, we bought a hamburger that was delicious and we decided to get on Stampida, another roller-coaster. We wait and when our turn came up we were excited. The ride was great. After a walk, we realized that we had to get on in a water ride so we got on in the Tutuki Splash, where we remained wet.

We wanted to get on in more attractions but we had not time. So we went to buy some souvenirs: all of us bought a bracelet with the name “Shambala” on it and I also bought a T-shirt for my sister and a cup with Woody Wood Pecker.

We had taken a lot of pictures before we get in the bus. We arrived in Castelló d’Empúries at 11 pm where our parents were waiting for us.

The Port Aventura Day was a great excursion for getting away from school and we enjoyed a lot.

United States Election Special

Trump protester: I was beaten for holding a 'Republicans against Trump' sign

Austyn Crites is a republican who was holding a sign reading: “Republicans against Trump” at the gathering in Reno, Nevada. He protests about Trump’s treatment of Mexicans, Muslims and women; and he described Donald Trump as a dictator and a fascist.

Crites was holding the sign when Trump supporters wrestled him to the ground; he was kicked, punched and choked when the crowd turned on him.

Everything was a chaos when one person in the crowd shouted that the protester had a gun, what was tremendously false. All the people fled to the back of the auditorium while Trump was rushed from the stage by Secret Service agents.

Crites wanted to do all he could to prevent a Trump presidency so he canvassed with the Clinton campaign in Nevada. He wasn’t fully supportive of Clinton but she was the only one who could stop Trump.

He said “Such leaders like Trump turn normal people into animals. The people who attacked me were following Trump’s hate and the United States doesn’t deserve any of this violence”.

Honestly, I’m totally agreed with Austyn Crites. I think this situation represents Trump’s violence and all his supporters are behaving like animals.

Donald Trump is a sexist and a racist and he do not deserve be the president of the United States. The only thing I appreciate from him is the fact he knows how to influence the people and he is clear thinking, he is determined.

About Hillary Clinton I can say is better than Trump. If I could vote, I would truly vote for her because she fights for woman’s duties and she is not rude like Trump. But not everything is good on Clinton; what she wants causes a lot of money invested in wars: she wants to resolve problems between countries by military confrontations.
