The Evil scientist


I followed the evil scientist into a dark room. What I saw, I would never forget...
I was afraid when I put my feet into that room, everything around are horrible and strange,I didn´t like the room. I saw many medicines, really weird and strange machinery. He didn´t know that I've been in his hiding because I followed him slowly without he knowing that. I am little nervous and anxious because I needed to know what he was doing in that room where nobody came. I hid behind a box that stood close by me and I stayed very quiet and without moving. I was petrified with what I saw, it seemed that my brain would not believe what my eyes saw.I saw one litlle man that seemed to have a 1oo years old but was there as he had only 5o years old , what was incredible. He moved with an remarkable agility, I never saw this before. At those moment I didn´t know what I should do, but I had the courage and dare and I face all dangers. I was very nervous.It seemed that words were all replaced. Quietly I took a deep breath and asked him what he was doing with that man. The old men seemed sad and had an air of suffering and he wanted to be taken off from there. I eventually discovered that the scientist was doing experiments to try to discover a method for people do not die. I discovered this because I saw the scientist gave one vaccine and when he made this the old man seem that had become another person because he had another agility that he had not before. I was shocked by what I saw. How the scientist had the courage to do it? I wanted to run but I couldn´t be so selfish. The old man was arrested in that room. Then slowly I escaped and went to a guard and told him to go and see that room. I never saw the scientist, I don´t know if he was arrested but but I will never follow a scientist without being asked to do because I don´t want to see again what I saw in that room.

Umbrella


The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek. Its meaning is shade or shadow.
An umbrella or parasol (also called a brolly, rainshade, sunshade, gamp or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against rain or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices and can be held as fashion accessories.
What is the origin of the umbrella?
The earliest known was that of Mesopotamia, 3400 years ago. In Mesopotamia, a region of modern Iraq, 3400 years ago there were already devices that protect the heads of kings - from the sun, not from the rain, a rarity in that place. As the flaps were made of palm leaves, feathers and papyrus .. In Egypt, acquired religious significance and Greece and Rome were taken as an article of women. Only in the eighteenth century the obstinacy of the English merchant Jonas Hanway, a lover of umbrellas could make them well worthy of a gentleman. Although ridiculed in life, after his death in 1786, the British have to hit the streets armed with the enhancement in the days when frequent rains in the country.

Sunglasses 0.0


Sunglasses is an accessory to the vision that has glasses that are colored or shaded to reduce the amount of light entering the eye. The sunglasses can be seen today with three goals that can join business with pleasure, takes the role of comfort to the view in bright sunshine, protect the eyes from the sun's harmful to the eyes and finally have the role of accessory.
However the main objectives of the sunglasses are not being achieved because many people are forgetting the quality of the glasses and think only in aesthetics. So, choose to use sunglasses without provenance, whose glass do not provide adequate protection to the eyes and create large distortions causes serious eye problems that is increasingly growing because of the lack of information.
Nowadays are several types of sunglasses, with a variety of shapes, sizes and colors,accessible to all purses. ;D

Gossip/Pearl jam




This songs say that is hard live,sometimes seems that the world is against us and songs speak about love.
The song just breathe the autor speak abou the persons who love. When the autor say "Did I say that I need you/did I say that I want you" we can see love in this phrases. Sometimes we don´t have a good words for express our love but we need that person beside us to be happy. This song end with "Hold me till I die/meet you on the other side" this phrase is beautiful because many people would like to hear this phrase because it shows that love would never end, even after we die this love still alive. When we love a person we think that love never, never end because same precautions that happen to us but love has to overcome everything and everyone.The song Heavy cross speak about live. Life is hard but we can make own live more happy because we have opportunities for choose what we want for own lives. Sometimes we feel like everything was against us, we feel we are in the bottom and we ask why life is so hard for us. But it´s through these situations that happen to us that we become human beings stronger and braver to face the cruel world outside.
We have the cacapcity for make own life better and better if we want.

We like more the music Just breathe than Heavy cross because the first song has a stronger message about love!!!

For all my friends

"A best friend

is always there, whether you need advice,

or a pep talk,

or even a shoulder to cry on.

A best friend

listens with her heart

and is always honest with you,

even though the truth

may not be

what you want to hear.

A best friend

knows all your secrets,

understands your fears

shares your deams.

A best friend

never stops believing in you

even if you give up

on yourself.

You are

that kind of friend

to me.

And no matter what happens,

you always will be.

You are my best friend...

my forever friend"

Technology- heaven or hell?

Today the society is facing a problem: Is technology, generally speaking, making us lazier or is it contribuiting to the development of our capacities?
Well, in our opinion the technology can be very useful to know what´s happening in the world, to know about other cultures and our personal interests.
We can buy and sell everything you want without leaving your sofa :P.

Tecnhology specially computers are very useful for make research, to do more elaborated works and we can write, change the colours and the type of the words( that is very fun :D ).We can make works more attractive with pictures and more information, besides a lot of people exaggerate the information that they put in the works that sometimes they don´t interpret well.

when a teacher ask for research some students just turn on the computer, open an internet page and do copy- paste without read it( but we never, never, never and never do that ;D)

The people who are addicted to internet became sedentary and they lose their social life.
We can conclude that technology have advantages and disadvantages.
