Wrinkled fingers Do you think wrinkled fingers could be an evolutionary adaptation? When is it an advantage to grip things in wet conditions? In my opinion, wrinkled fingers are an evolutionary adaptation of the mankind. From my point of view, all the features of the human being have evolved during the years. Then the question is what are the advantages of having wrinkled fingers. When we spend much time under the water, we can see that our fingertips begin to wrinkle. So we can think that this change will help us to work in wet conditions. Although I am not a scientist specialized in this stuff, I think wrinkled fingers have nothing to do with making our fingers better in those conditions. As I see it, our body is always adapting to different wheather conditions, therefore we suffer many changes constantly. Some of those changes are important changes to ensure our life, and the other changes are side effects of the main changes. As a result, I can’t claim whether wrinkled fingers let us gripping things in wet conditions or they are just a side effect of other unknown and more important change.

Airports I hate airports. I known that travelling by plane is the best way to visit countries which are very far from where I live. Anyway, I loathe them. If I focus on the disadvantages of using planes as a means of transport, I will find several inconveniences. It is a really stressful experience. You must be in the boarding place on time. So you should arrive at the airport at least two hours before boarding time. You have many exciting things to do. I always hesitate about my luggage. I am very nervous until I pass all the luggage and hand luggage conditions. Besides, I get quite tense while I go through the metal detector. It might be the worst moment. And when you finally arrive in the boarding place and you search your flight number in the information panel, you can read: Flight delayed. It is a good idea carrying on some magazines or a book if you are going to an airport. If I am in Spain I usually read some news on my cell phone, but I can not do it abroad because it is very expensive.

What is important in my own life right now? I am a 32-year-old man. I work as a teacher in a secondary school and I live with my wife. Nowadays I am working far from home, therefore I find very important to get a job closer. On the other hand, my wife and I love children, so we hope to have children in the near future. Finally, another important aim to me is to keep doing sport, such as cycling and running.

comedy VS sitcom Does anyone know the difference between these word? Are they synonyms?

Live beyond your means VS Live above your means Are they both right? Which one is more common?

Stamina VS Endurance

I'm not sure about the difference of these words. I guess "stamina" is connected with strength and "endurance" is related with mind.

What is your opinion?

MASS MEDIA Information is very important in our lives. Mass media try to keep people informed about what is happening in our city and all around the world. Several years ago, newspapers started to inform the citizens. People could buy a newspaper and read whatever they were interested in. Then the radio appeared, and you could get information by listening to some broadcasts. And later, the television enabled us to be informed in a better way. Television is really popular, you can find a television in each house of the world. These three Mass Media used one-way communication but then it was created the Internet and social networks. The Internet gives people the opportunity to spread their own thoughts and share their opinions. You can owe a video channel, a blog or a radio show, and you can even do it using your cell phone. The Internet supposes an advantage although every now and then we waste a lot of time reading things about people who actually we do not know. We should meet friends and relatives, and stay in touch with them not only on Internet. The Media are evolving quickly and the amount of social network's users is increasing. Therefore we must get used to use the new Media and be aware about future changes.

Before I go to sleep Before I go to sleep is the first novel by S. J. Watson, published in 2011. It has become a bestseller in several countries, like France, Canada and Netherlands. Watson is an English writer who was accepted for a course called Writing a Novel in 2009. This book is the result of this course. The novel has recently been adapted for the big screen. The film, which has the same name, was released in 2014. The novel is a psychological thriller about a woman called Christine who suffers amnesia. Following a mysterious accident, Christine can’t remember her past or form new memories. She wakes every day with no knowledge of who she is, her name, her past, even the people she loves. All forgotten overnight. The novel follows her as she tries to reconstruct her memories from a journal she has been keeping. As her journal grows, she starts to be suspicious about her husband and her doctor. They tell her different things about who she is. Therefore, someone is lying her, or at least, is not telling all the truth. She gets hysterical and begins to doubt about everything. She does not know whether the man who she wakes up with every day is her husband or not. She doubts whether she has children or not. She is not sure whether she has always lived in London or she has recently moved there. Although she has no idea who she can trust, she will desperately try to uncover the truth. It will be far from simple, but she is determined to discover who she really is and what happened the night of the fateful accident. From my point of view the story is appealing and mysterious. I enjoyed reading this novel because I was eager to find out more about Christine’s life. It is really interesting the character of Christine. It is astonishing the way she copes with her problems to chase her goal.

The Right Foot Award “The Right Foot Award” is an important event which makes a tribute to the supportive people. Currently, we live in a selfish society. We are worried about our job, our car, our relatives and our salary. However, almost nobody worries about helping the needy people. We must be more sympathetic and give a hand to whoever needs it. The awarded should be the right person, namely honest, truthful, concerned about the penniless people and the underfed children. Someone who does his best to change the bad things making a better world. For that reason I appoint Paco as a candidate for “The Right Foot Award”. Paco is an old man who has been working as a waiter in his own bar since he was young. Although he works almost ten hours per day, he is not a rich man. He has difficulty to make ends meet. Paco is generous and respectful towards his friends. He always has time to help others. Last Christmas, Paco did an amazing thing. Every year, he buys some lottery tickets and sells them to their customers. Then, all of them wait until the raffle’s day to know if they have won the prize. But the last year, Paco’s best customer did not buy any ticket. He could not do it because he was abroad. When Paco’s best customer returned, he turned up at the bar to take a coffe. It was astonishing when he realized that all the customers of the bar won the prize and Paco had kept a winner ticket to him. Since my point of view, it is important to award these annonymous people. I am absolutely positive that Paco is a right candidate for this award.
