Strengthening your mind!!! (QUARANTINE: DAY 9)

It´s been ten days since quarantine started and it is now starting to become our new lifestyle. We know that this is not holidays, however, some people that are getting used to wake up at 12 am, wear  their pijamas all day long, and go to bed really late at night... (I have to include myself in some of those mistakes) but we shouldn´t.

 We have to take advantage of all this free time and build up new healthy habits such as practicing sport ,that is extremely important right now due to that we are having a really sedentary lifestyle, and it could be risky for our overal health. Also it is great for start reading that book you left because you were too busy or getting used to do brain training exercises like puzzles, crosswords or whatever that keep your brain active and improve your mental agility.

It is important doing those kind of things while we are isolated because it is vital to preserve a good mental and physic health. Moreover, a thing I find curious and interesting is that those subjects that are the least valued at school; physic education, music and art, are now what scientist and tv are recommending us to do to in this difficult stage we are living

To put it in a nut shell, We have to use this free time to create new strong healthy habits. And stay positive looking for the good side of everything.

Going where the work is

Some people have not other option but having to go to other countries looking for a job.
It is not related with the level of formation of the person because there are people who travel looking for jobs which do not require qualification such as waiters/waitress, home keepers etc and people with high studies trying to investigate really new stuffs. Both of them wanting to have a decent pay for their job.

In Spain it is difficult to find jobs which doesn´t demand a title. And specially in summer. So that is a huge problem.
Also there is a "brain scape" because we forme a lot of people but we are not able to give them a job so they go away to countries where they can offer them a better salary.

We must find a solution because moving to other countries is not pleasent for everybody and it is a desperate option due that you have to leave behind your family, friends and maybe your partner if he/she is not willing to move away. Also not everybody have this possibility because you have to know the language of the country where you are going and the people who can not are stuck here in Spain without a job or with a badly paid one.

In conclusion it is a hard situation and even if people don´t want to leave sometimes it is their only option.

Who are healthier?

It is obvious that doing sport and having an active lifestyle is very important, and it is something done by kids and adults because of different reason. but, Who are more likely to be more sportive?Kids or adults?

Firstly, kids reason to do sport is to have fun, so when they do sport is not as intense at all as when a adult does it, because they do it with the main reason to shape their body, however it is more regular and consistent that when adult do it because while the kid does it without even realice they are doing sport an adult is more likely to give up.

Secondly, kids are usually forced to do sport because their parents signed them into extracurricular clases to not having them at home doing nothing. Adults are not forced by anyone but themselves to practice it, so sometimes they make up excuses for not going to the gym or running. They also have less free time and a more busy schedule that make them exhausted.

Finally the lifestyle of a kid is more active than the one of an adult. The kid has more energy and wants to play all the time and the adult is usually sedentary and depending of the job they have they can spend a lot of hours sitting in a chair.

In conclusion I think kids are more sportive than adults but it will depend on the person.

LIFE STAGES

In some countries the age to be considered an adult is 18 like in Spain, however in some others the age is 21. But from my point of view adulthood can not be defined with an age, it is more about maturity, which can come in any stage of your life. Also it isn´t something that could change from one day to another one like waking up and suddently being an adult, it is a long slow process which varies depending on the person.

Also, experiences trigger maturity. It is not the same one person who has lived in different countries, had to adapt multiple times and has known a lot of different people that other person from the same age who has grown in the same place doing the same things with the same people.

Moreover, because of all of this I think it is a waste of effort denying arguments from other people because of their age with the excuse of "You are too young for talking about that" or "You don´t know about that yet" which is something old people usually do when a teenager speaks. There are many young people that have won prices about revolutionary inventions, debate etc whose voices had to be heard.

To put it in a nut shell adulthood doesn´t depend of an age and responsibility doesn´t come with it either.

Teachers armed with...

Trumps proposition of giving teachers guns was none the least controversial.
Many teachers showed openly their disagreement to the situation and also did many parents and students. Thanks to the social pressure that law wasn´t made. However just the possibility of having guns at school gave a fright to the population and re-opened the discussion about guns in general.

From my point of view that proposal was very extremist. The quantity of shoots at school in America is very high and it is due the easy teenagers have access to those weapons, so from my point of view the law of letting people have guns for selfdefense should be over. It is a very old law which has not sense in now a days lifestyle.

But this is something many Americans are not going to let happen because they think it is traditional and are not going to look up for the security of the country, so, at least it should be harder for people to get a gun and not just selling it in a supermarket. I think that if there is going to be a gun at the house all members from the age of 12 would have to pass a psychological test at least once every year or two years. I think it isn´t a total solution but it might reduce some cases.

To sum up it is a very difficult matter to fix because whatever action is done about it is going to have many people against it.

Quareantine

The government has announced the "alarm state" in Spain and because of that we are in quarantine. School has been cancelled for 2 weeks(but we still have homework) so it should remark how important it is.
During this quarantine we should stay at home. It is the most basic but most important advice I could give. If we have the symptoms we should´t go to the doctor because all hospitals and sanitaries are collapsed and busy, and they must be used for more severe cases and people who have other important issues like a heart attack, a car accident etc. Also for most of the population this virus will pass just like a flue so the solution for all of them is to stay in bed, treat it like another one, don't panic and do not spread it.

What do we need to pass English? Resilience!!!!

English is a great language to learn due to the multiple advantages that it offers. If you speak English you will be able to travel to other countries where the spoken language is not Spanish, you will be able to meet new people from other countries (online or in real life), furthermore you will have more opportunities at work.


To pass the English subject you should:
-Pay attention in class. That is vital because you have to understand what's going to be on the exam!!
-Do your homework. Also very important, because English requires practice.
-Write comments of the blog sometimes. It will improve your writing a lot and that's like "studying" for the writing exam.
-Participate in class. Show that you care.
-Behave properly at class. A bad behavior can low your grades.

And that's all. If you do all those things you probably will pass the subject and you will have learned English for whenever you need it!

Would you go on a trip around the world?

Traveling around the world is a thing I've always had in my to do list. For me, getting out of your own country is necessary. Not just to have fun, which is something you will do for sure, but also to learn and to have tons of new experiences.

I have travelled to a lot of different spots of Spain, that even if it´s my own country it is worth to visit it because its just beautiful .Moreover I have been in some countries such as France and Ireland multiple times because I have to admit that I fell in love with those places and I will never get sick of them so I'm sure I will go back again.

In my desire of traveling the world some of the destinations that head the list are the Alps, the Grand Canyon ,Thailand, Hawaii, Japan and the Black Forest . I have never been outside of Europe and I wish I could go to those interesting places someday.

To sum up, traveling is amazing and for doing so it´s important who you go with besides of the location. For me traveling with my close friends, my sister or my family is what makes it unforgettable.
