Does watching television influence children knowledge? Watching television is become a typical way to spend our free time. Whereas an adult is totally aware about television benefits and risks, a child have to be led while choosing the channel to watch at. It seems to me that, with the right help, children can improve significantly them learning skills. television has a lot of way to spread knowledge, as example children's series, as well as documentaries and the new-born tutorial programs. Different channels have chosen to broadcast only programs for children. Some of them are aimed at teaching alphabet and first reading rules, others use different songs in foreing languages and explain little grammar exercises. Every episode seems a short lesson and try to grap children's attention. Television offers also interesting movies and documentaries. An historical movie about the second world war can help kids to remember important information and to study history more easily. Documentaries can also be usefull to learn much more about specific topics: wild animals, space explorations, natural oasis and so on. Everyone can find something about his particular passion, and enjoy these programs. A brand new type of programs are based on tutorials. These were born on internet: tahnks to short videos people start to teach to viewers them personal secrets about beauty or homemade stuffs. Now it is possible to find some usefull information or suggestion about uor problems just watching television. The screen of television is a window abroad the world, it can show almost everything about other cultures or states and it finally open up our mind. Althought it has also a lot of entertainment programs, aimed at relaxing your mind, it is important to remember that initially it was used in order to teach the national language to isolated country men.

Oracle Night review All the novel is covered by a mysterious sensation; we read about every characters story and we try to find a connection between them all. Sid is a marginal Brooklyn writer, married and fully in love with Grace. Thanks to his wife, Sid had known John Trause, an important and influent writer. We follow Sid, who writes the story in first person, in his daily routine and we discover he has physical injuries for an unknown accident. During one of his walk he buys a strange blue notebook and starts to write in it. The mysteries grow, we can barely distinct Sid life from Nick Bowen’s (his novel protagonist) life and during his writing Sid subconscious seems to bound with his conscious. Thus, we can link some Sid’s life episodes with his story: as Nick Bowen, Sid’s wife decides to disappear for a entire day, not leaving advice. In the same way Sid has a sort of interruption of his career (although the help gave by Trause), his character is locked in a underground fortified holding cell. In the last pages Sid writes his interpretation about the last days events: we discover why he has physical injuries; he figure out that his wife has been so strange because she had betrayed him with Trause, her historical friend; and he can understand why Trause’s son has always hated Grace. When Sid decides to destroy the notebook, hoping to stop the circle of those strange events, the worst happens. After a tragic situation, Sid and his wife can go back to them simple life; without any preoccupations. I have found this book unusual; for a big part of my reading I cannot understand the story and the aim of it, and that make me feel bored and confused. In the end I figured out that the lack of resolution of all the events is intentional and underline our natural intention to give meanings to every events, even if they have not.

Give your opinion about the use of the Internet amoung youngsters nowadays The Internet has become one of the most powerfull instruments of this new generation. Whereas I learnt to use the personal computer in my teenages, everyone now strarts to use it from childhood. Thus changed a lot of aspects of life. The youngest users can access to digital musical library, without waiting the allowance to buy a CD in a shop. They can also find easily more information about thier studies, and they are helped when looking for sources for essays. Moreover, schools started to use online registers, in order to inform quikly the family and the child about his/her results. When you think about your first indipendence choices, you immediately think about music. The possibility of listening to all the musical genres can help to find more easily your identity. One can listen to pop, rock and afro, and then choose what is his favourite style. Internet musical library are constantly in expansion and visiting it is a very good way to find one's favourite singers. The Internet is also full of information. To write essays we used to read a giant number of pages in old and heavy encyclopedias, sometimes without finding something usefull. Now, one just need a click, and then can figure out everything he wants. It is a very quickly way to study and can also improve the capacity of avoiding the worthless elements. As a consequence, elementary and middle schools start to use internet too. They create their own web sites in which you can find the class registers, with all the marks updated. In this way, a family can easily follow the child scholastic iter. It is really innovative for parents that haven't time to go to school to speak with teachers. These grate changes have improved the personal education level, and these really represent the future. But it is important to rember that the Internet can also be bad used from child, and consequently, it can give to them untrue information or adult reserved contents. Following children while surfing the net should be a rule for parents, at last for the first year of use. What do you think about that?

Canada Hi" Some days ago I wrote a brief essay about Canada! I hope you enjoy reading it! Travelling the world is something that everyone would like to do. If one is young and is studying foreign languages is normal that he starts to think about a new place to study or to live. In these last years one of the most favourite goals for changing life is Canada. Whereas Americans jeer at Canadians and this country is always under the shadow of the United States, everyone recognize its magnificent features. First of all Canada has beautiful landscapes and offers different ways to live in contact with nature. It is also a country that welcomes different cultures, and just a small part of the population was born in Canada, the others are immigrants. Moreover Canadian economy is getting particularly strong and the society is based on laws that help everyone. There are a lot of great landscapes in this country, for instance in Nunavut, Summit Lake is filled of glacier melted and its water flows toward both north and south, dropping 500 meters before reaching the Pacific Ocean. In addiction, in Alberta, the rocks near Lake Louise give water a striking light blue colour, and transform the atmosphere in something magical. These are just some little examples about what one can discover visiting Canada, there are a lot of other beautiful outlooks to see. According to the 2006 census, only 32% of the entire population is Canadian, most of others Canadian inhabitants are from Europe and someone from Asia. Therefore, in a country with such an extended number of immigrants day life must be rich of influences and tolerance toward different cultures. Furthermore, the policies about medical assistance and education are really well thought. The state grant to everyone a complete medical assistance, it means that the poor and the rich can have the same healthy care. Recently, the government has also decided to grant an university education to Indigenous students, starting a project of national growth and integration among cultures. It is not difficult to understand why a lot of people have chosen it as travel goal. It has a lot of jobs opportunity, it grants freedom of action and thought, and the security of having always medical assistance. Canada is an unforgivable place where everyone should go, differences can really open our eyes and a country with these varieties in can represent the biggest experience of our life What do you know about Canada? Have you ever been there?

Hunger games Hi! It's been long time since I last wrote here! I've written my degree essay and I was very busy. Now I've finished the essay and I'm still trying to improve my english. My English teacher stop answering to me, and I'm really angry about that. What make me really happy in these last days is a new movie: Hunger games, catching fire. I saw it some days ago, at cinema, and I thounght it is really great! Attention! There are spoilers! The world of this story is a futuristic one. The nation is divided in 13 cities and the protagonists (Katniss end her family and friends) belong to the 12th district. Every district has it personal feature, the 12th has mine, the 11th fruit and so on. The capital named "Capital city" and, whereas all people in districts work hard to survive, capital inhabitants are rich. Every year, to remember citizens the power of the Government, a girl and a boy are choosen from every district to fight in an arena. This is what they called "hunger games" and only one guy could survive to win it. In the previous movie, Katniss went in the arena and won the game with Peeta, her companion who is fully in love with her. In this movie we see Katniss new life, after the hunger games. Now she lives pacefully with her family, but the fact that she, with Peeta, has changed the rules of the Hunger Games creates some agitations. To show to the entire population that the rules can't be changed, the Government decides to constrict all the winners to go another time in the arena to fight, wishing in Katniss (that starts to be the symbol of hope) death. Peeta decides to go with her, and the two of they meet the other winners. In the arena they stay with Finning and others, but when the situation become difficult Katniss uses the power of a thunder to destroy the ceiling of the arena. The movie ends with Katniss, Finning and a small part of carachters still alive, aimed at rising against the Governement, while Peeta has been captured.

Time management In scholastic periods daily time isn't ever enough. Five hours in the morning are occupied from courses, and sometimes one has to remain at school also in the afternoon. In the early evening there are usually some sport activities, and when one comes back home, has just the energy to eat and take care of the house. With a life filled with all these issues is very important managing time to have the possibility of doing everything one wants. One suggestion I found really usefull is not to relax staying in bed in the after lunch break. A lot of shops and offices sometimes do a full-time schedule, so it's easy do commissions or go out for shopping in this break. another way to use this an hour and half or two hour is going in a beauty shop and totally relax yourself. It's also usefull to put down in a organizer all time tables, including time one takes to move from a place to another, and try to fill all the pauses. You can arrive at home at four o'clock, take a break untill half past four and then study for an hour. At half past five you can clean up you romm and the call your frineds to decide what to do in the evening etc.. It's very hard to respect a really organized and full time table, but it's also a food way to don't waste too many time in front of TV or doing nothing usefull. Take a break is necessary, but it's important give it some limits. Organizing in a better way ones issues can help to have more free time, and consequently more time for ones passions.

21/08/2013 Some days ago I've read in a news paper that our world has already used the annual resource of energy. It means that we are using more resources (water, trees, fishes, air etc..) than what we can produce. We have had a lot of warning from nature for having more sustainable style of life, but this time I think that a change is really necessary. One month ago, I stopped using my car. Now I just move using bicycle and rarely a motor-scooter. This change takes me more time, and I have less time to do my issues, but my wallet now stays better. Before of using bicycle, I filled up the car and the motor-scooter once in a week, while now I do it twice in a month. Another change concerns water. Cooking, I put water ina basin and I wash several foods with the same water. Washing my teeth and having a shower I let the water flows only when necessary. Moreover, I never leave the light on in rooms and I divide my rubbish to recover. The last change I've done concerns the bio-products. I've searched in internet for most weel-known industries and I've checked if they do test on animals or if they do determinale substances. Stopping to buy those products, I can do something small to help the planet. All the changes I've done are small, and I know that aren't incisive. buti I think that probably peaple all over the worls are following the same little devices, and day by day we can improve our situation. What tipe of device you follow? Have something to suggest to me?

Hitlerjugend: a generation without choice? As soon as Hitler dead and his party broke up, the entire world started anti-nazism campaigns, trying to dissolve the anti-semita feeling. It was clear, by that time, that the Hitlerian totalitarianism had been evil and it had promoted a wrong ideology. But the young German who had grown up with the Hitlerian association lived this period in a different way. In this essay I want to write about some techniques Hitler had used to charm and manipulate young people. The totalitarianism let easier the life of Germans. If you had enjoyed the party and had supported it, you would had had some privileges. First of all a great salary, that had convinced a lot of low and middle-class workers in joining the party. In the second war period German was in debt, several shops close down while Hitler offered a job. Hitler was able to seduce people and, slowly, brainwash them. He established youth groups, where guys could practice sports and other types of activities. Joined this groups, one was surrender by guys like him. All the activities were aimed to create a great group sentiment, and, in the same way, increase the sense of patriotism. Then, it was so easy starting believe in what Hitler said. The scholastic lessons were aimed too to manipulate the youth's point of view. Teachers just spoke about German history and authors. Germans were portrayed as the perfect ethnic group, while others were considered inferior. In those year Hitler was trying to do all his best to charming German population, and make it proud of itself. This aspect t is very clear in the movie “ Swing Kids” (1993). In this movie the protagonist does his best to resist and to oppose to the party, but in the end, he remained seduced by it. Step by step, all his friend joined the Hitler jugend, and even if he doesn't want to join it, he mustn't break the law. Despite from the outside it was so clear that Hitler was following wrong ideas, from the inside, all the activity promoted by the party didn't seem so wrong. Hitler has been able to create an united state, where people really believe in the superiority of the state.
