The cruelty to animals.

Today I'd like to talk about a problem that exists nowadays: the cruelty to animals.

Most people are not aware of everything that millions and millions of animals around the world are suffering.

There are people who cause harm and suffering to animals. They aren't always people who hurt their own pets like dogs or cats, sometimes it's also for traditions or scientific investigations, for example the cockfighting, or the Spanish-style bullfighting (corridas de toros).

In meat production and in the obtention of fur also implites suffering. In laboratories, they require smoking monkeys and rabbits until they die of lung cancer, for example, or they put makeup and cosmetics to rabbits in the eye until the eye ulcers. Only in USA, 64,000,000 of these animals die annually in medical experiments. I think that circuses are also a sign of cruelty: animals live in very poor conditions, they live a half of their lives locked in cages, and in fact they are wild animals. And all this things are just to make a show to satisfy the yearning for greatness of people.

As everybody knows,animals can feel pain and anguish, and, unlike humans, animals cannot suppress their feelings. We live in a society that mistreats animals for fun. I think we have no right to manipulate the lives of other animals. I think animal rights should be more recognized. Well, that's all for today, I'll write more soon.

My Weekend!

Hi guyS!
Today I will tell you a little summary of my last Friday, that it was different because we didn’t go to school and because it was sunny!
Well, on the morning, at eleven o’clock approximately, I get up and I went with my friends to tell between ourselves everything that we did in these week.
Later, everybody went to their houses because was the lunch’s hour. At half past three, Marius, Jordi, Oriol, Baldiri, Iñaki and I, met on the Baldiri's house because we would like to use the weather well and so, we decided to go to the beach. First, Baldiri and Oriol went to the supermarket to buy something to eat and drink and in the meantime the rest went to the beach and we tried a good site, where there was a net to play volleyball. When we went there, we started playing football and later we went to the volleyball net and we played here. Afterwards some Germans came with us and we were playing a match; the score final was bad for us, because we losed for one point,...When the sun stopped to shine we went to a pub called Capitan's and we were staying there and speaking to. Finally, we took our motorbikes and went to Baldiri's house and we played football and basketball.

Barça vs Chelsea!

The first of two champions league semifinal matches was played yesterday between Barcelona and Chelsea, Chelsea achieved what very few teams have been able to do which is to hold the best team in Europe to a 0-0 draw. It has been a year since Barcelona have drawn 0=0 at home, the last time it happened was against Manchester United in the same stage of the championship.
Both teams had very good chanses , but a key element to this game that left it goalless was the top goalkeeping, the two top class goalkeepers Chech and Victor Valdes made very important saves that kept there teams in the draw.

The chelsea team made a good efort but now they have all the work to do, any scoring draw nat Stamford bridge will mean that the blues will be out og the tournament. Eto ,the barcelona striker,said that hes sure that if Chelsea play like they did they will surley lose.

During the match Barcelona held most of the possession, similar to there matches against Bayern and Lyon, but Chelseas defence prevailed even thought in the last round they let in 5 goals against Liverpool.

"They had a lot of possession but we stayed very tight," Terry said. "We watched videos before the game, they like to play little balls through and we knew that and stopped them doing it.".

Chelsea and Barcelona have met in four of the last five champions league competitions.

Pep Guardiola felt cheated he said that it was unfail when a team is trying to play creativly while the other team plays defence.
