Chirlotta

    One day, two years ago, I was walking down the street near the sea in a beautiful place called Chirlotta. It was a very quiet town. It was Sunday and many people were having a rest. The streets were nice cobblestone roads. The town seemed to be empty. Nobody was walking.

    When I arrived at the port, it was the first time I could see somebody. He was a fisherman called Michael. He was sixty years old. He was moving fishes from a net to a big box. I saw that a girl was helping him to do it. She was a very beautiful lady and I was surprised because she was working with fishes in that place. I introduced myself and I asked them their names. His name was Javier and her name was Juliana, she was Javier's daughter. I was disappointed. I was looking for a restaurant to eat but all the places were closed. I asked them about that, but they told me that it was the same every Sunday. Juliana offered me to have lunch with them when they finished their job. I thanked them and I helped them to move the fish.

    While we were cooking, we walked a lot. I explained to them that I was there on vacation because I had had some problems during the last months with my girlfriend and I needed to be relayed. That was the reason why I traveled to Chirlotta. Juliana told me that she had never visited another place. It was very strange for me because I know many countries and cities. Her father, Michael, told me that, to live in that place, was very nice, but he couldn't earn to much money to visit other places. While we went on talking, Juliana started cooking some fish with spaghetti. She was very happy. When we finished eating, I thanked them for the meal and I invited her to go to my town, Davenport, next month.

     I bought one air ticket for her and I left the town two days later. During those two, Juliana made me feel very comfortable and calm. She went with me to visit some beautiful mountains and forests close to town. It was very nice for me.

   The next month, I was waiting for her to visit me. I prepared a special agenda for her. She was very happy because of my hospitality. This  is a beautiful story because we are married now and we are happy to be together. This is real love and I always remember that lovely fish with spaghetti from Chirlotta.

Dear Local Authorities from Calcutta,

    I am Belén Eliana Lombardero and I am 14 years old. I'm studying at Newlands school.

    Calcutta has a lot of problems. The provision of services is one because the electricity for schools and hospitals are amounts of money to spend on without thinking about the consumption. Another is the physical problems that consist of heavy rainfall. That is brought by tropical storms.

    On September 1st, 2011 I talked about these problems to my partners and they told me that we can reduce the electricity by putting ecological bulbs. The following day we thought that in the streets we can build pipes for the water not to flood.

     It is your obligation to help them.

Thanks for your attention,

Belén Lombardero

Essay

 The Common Agricultural Policy or the CAP was set up in 1962 in Europe. The objetive was to benefit the farmers. There are advantages and also disadvantages; which we will talk about in the next two paragraphs.

The advantages are that they don't have to pay for selling their products, they've the opportunity of improving their products without paying. For example a farmer can receive money for fertilizes.

 The disadvantages are that they have a lot of competence of other farmers who have the same opportunities in the market.

 As a result, the CAP helps farmers and  if they have problems, the CAP is not responsible of that fact.

Volumen de los Hielos Continentales

Junto con la profesora de matemática, quisimos averiguar cuanto equivale el volumen del agua que se derrite de los hielos continentales con una pileta de natación de 25m x 10m y promedio de profundidad 2m.

 Para poder calcular esto, la profesora nos dió los siguientes datos:

*Entre 1968 y 1975, la pérdida anual del Glaciar Perito Moreno promedio fue de 13,5km3. Pero entre 1995 y 2000 la pérdida anual promedio subió hasta 38,7km3. Lo siguiente que hicimos fue calcular cuanto se perdió en esos 12 años(1968/1975 y 1995/2000):

7 años . 13,5 km3: año= 94,5 km3

5 años . 38,7 km3: año= 193,5 km3 

Ahora sumamos los resultados:

94,5 km3 + 193,5 km3= 288,0 km3< Esta es lo que se perdió en esos 12 años.

Lo que debiamos hacer ahora es sacar volumen de agua de una pileta de natación de 25m . 10m y 2m de profundidad promedio:

25m . 10m . 2m= 500m

Para poder saber el volumen, ahora debemos poner la equivalencia de 288 km3 a m3

288km3= 288000000000m3

CONCLUSIÓN:

 La pérdida promedio de agua del Perito Moreno en esos 12 años equivale a 576000000 piletas de natación de 25m . 10m y 2m de profundidad promedio.

The Lake District National Park

    What a wonderful place ! Last month I went to the Lake District National Park. There were lot of people, more than one million people were visting the National Park. It was the best place. The things I like the most were the mountains, valley, lake scenery and its century of human history.
    There is a diversity of landscapes, sandy coast and near rivers, rugged mountains and deep lakes, woodlands and moorland, wildlife and historic remains. Include freshwater habitats, ancient broad-leaved woodland, limestone grassland, heath, artic-alpine communities, heatland, coastal marsh and estuar. Include 101 sites.
    In our point of view the place was beautiful because of the mixture of natural and farmed landscapes that provide a release from the pressures of urban living.
    We recommend going becauise it is the best place where you can make different activites, for  example climbing. Then you can relax.

Físico-Química

En esta materia trabajamos sobre las características del agua potable. Trabajamos sobre el agua  de mar y de río. Aprendimos que el agua de río tiene menos contenido de sal que el agua del mar, nos dimos cuenta que el agua de río proviene de lluvias, deshielos y nevadas y que sus componentes dependen de la salinidad y los minerales del suelo ya que el rio arrastra estos minerales.
También aprendimos muchas cosas sobre el agua de mar, por ejemplo que ésta agua es el conjunto de la desembocadura de otros ríos. Está compuesta por cloruro de sodio, de magnesio, sulfato neutro, desodios, cloruro de calcio, de potasio, entre otros.
Otra cosa que trabajamos es la relación entre el agua potable y el agua bebible, y ésta es que "cuando el agua es bebible, quiere decir que es potable."
