TRAVELLING - Holidays on the moon

Some experts say it will be possible in four or five years, others say it will happen in 2020 and there are even some agencies who suggest this new phenomena will occur in months. The clear fact is that travelling to the moon on holidays is becoming less and less strange as time passes. It doesn’t sound any more like a science-fiction book or movie but real life.

On an Internet video, NASA is inviting citizens of The Earth to participate in space travel to the moon aboard the Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter (LRO). This new project forms part of NASA’s plan to return to the moon for investigating and researching safe landing sites, different new resources and radiation in its environment.

Europe doesn’t want to be left behind, so it is planning moon travel before 2018. The space mission will be done with no crew on board so as to explore the south pole of our satellite and discover more about it.

The topic that I am sure most of you care about is the question we are all wondering: When and how will we be able to travel in a rocket and watch the stars live?

The future, as you know, is not very clear but what is certain is that a Californian company has already started to sell tickets to see outer space for the “low” price of $200,000 and what is more; Sergey Bryn has paid them $5 million to be the fist one to have the fantastic experience of seeing space.

The latest, most recent news says Russia launched a satellite which could be used in the future as a hotel prototype. The space hotel that has been designed to be formed of several inflatable modules could be assembled by the end of the year 2015 but will cost $500 million dollars to build.

Fashion

Hi everyone!

How are you?

I think is time for a little bit of fashion. I love it, I follow fashion blogs daily. I also have to tell you that I’m not an expert. However, I will show you the hottest trends for this autumn-winter. This season the star colors will be camel, a little bit of red, olive, and the eternal black and surprising white. Let’s show you some photos.

Designers have opted by the aviator-style jackets made from sheepskin. One of the fabrics that is going to be used the most is velvet.

This season skirts will be knee length or down to the floor. But you can also be fashionable with small details; this season it has become fashionables to wear stockings above the knees. Fur jackets have become fashionable. British university style is also a big hit this season.Leer fonéticamente

Tuna!!!

Finally, the tuna came!

Year by year, the boys and girls of 4º E.S.O. dress up as minstrels. We wear a black cloak and a red or blue rosette, depending on the high school we attend. Mine is red!
The cloaks aren’t only black; if they were......they would be very tasteless. Don´t you think? Ha! Ha! Ha!

They have a special feature which is that they are covered with ribbons of many colours, made by all our friends and relatives.

After the nerves and the stress of preparing for the festival, or at least that’s how I felt, we went out to walk all around Soria, filling each of its streets with joy and colour. In spite of the fact that the first day was completely disorganised, (there was not even one guitar and there were very few tambourines) we enjoyed it a lot!

We stopped in all the shops that we passed. Most of the people, very nicely, gave us money which we used to go for dinner the last day of this "fiesta".

Personally, where I enjoyed visiting the most was my school "Los Doce Linajes". It thrilled me to see my former teachers, and also to feel that all the children, who were now occupying our desks, were happy. At that moment I remembered how when I was younger I was excited about missing some classes because the minstrels were coming to sing to us! Hee! hee!

Many things have happened to us, and there are many more left because the tuna has not ended yet.

WE WON´T STOP GIVING A LOT OF HASSLE BECAUSE THE TUNA CONTINUEEEES!!!

The Hunt!

Hunting is any activity where humans enter in the ecosystem of the animals to try to trap them. Normally the animals that they trap are killed.

The history of hunting is part of the history of humans. In Prehistoric times, people hunted animals to survive; if people didn´t hunt they wouldn’t survive because they wouldn´t have enough food to survive.

Humans improved their hunting techniques as time went by. The first tools used for hunting were a straight stick of wood and at the top a sharp stone and also the first knife was invented then. As time went on, new tools were invented and this led to bows and arrows, a curved stick attached to a taut rope connecting the extremities of the stick. This tool led to the first firearms that were invented for war, but later were used in the art of hunting. These weapons were heavy and only of one shot, but as the technology grew the weight was reduced and the number of cartridges increased to 3 per shotgun.

There are two classes of animal groups for hunting, small game and big game. Then there are other variants such as clay pigeon shooting or pigeon shooting. Examples of small game are rabbits, hares, partridge, quail, duck, fox ... etc

Big game animals that are hunted are bigger and heavier like the wild boar, deer, roe, mountain goats, chamois.... etc.

Hunting is considered a healthy sport, although some people criticize it because they think that animal life is affected, but that is a lie because what hunting does is control the number of species within a boundary so that there is no over population.

I hunt and I find it very exciting and I really enjoy it.
