How to dress elegant and warm at the same time

Hi,

I'd like to know the opinion of the people who lives in areas with extreme cold about what clothes they choose when they need to be dressed elegantly.

I know the brands: Geographical Norway, Helly Hansen, The north face, Canada Goose.... but I'm failing when I try to find a coat without the look for the mountain. Checking information I've watched that it isn't easy: for example, I hear about the benefits of the wool, but other people dislike because It tends to stretch. With some fibres the problem is the sweating, etc.

I would be very grateful if the people living in countries with very low temperatures could help me because... I'm chilly.

Thank you very much!

My English level is B-2 and I'm looking for schedule language exchanges on Friday afternoons, Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons. My time zone is GMT+2.

See you!

Tobacco The tobacco is one legal drug very extended around the world, therefore any law against it can be very unpopular. It has a image of rebelliousness very atractive for the teenage, and the problem is that its high adiction and dependence avoid to give it up when you are about 20-25 years old. All we know about the diseases produces by the tobacco: for instance, the most popular is the cancer of lung because there, the great amount of its toxic companents, causes cellulars mutations and tumors. There are more problems produced by its toxines, like heart diseases, premature aging, etc. As a result of this great list of risks, the public health’s owes is to avoid new addicted persons between young people and to protect the passive smokers, specially the children. At the present time it’s forbidden to smoke in a car if you carry kids, inside or near scools or colleges and hospitals, and some years ago they prohibit to smoke inside pubs and bares… likewise there are advertising campains focus on the teens. I think at this moment it’s very risky for any goverment to make ilegal this drug, so it could be better to decrease the numbers of smokers by the mentioned methods and increasing the price of the tobacco. Finally in twelve years, they would knock forever this drug in our country after checking the number of smokers is ridiculous.

TO LIVE 100 YEARS? All human beings want to live more and more without the tipical diseases of the old age. The first part of this introduction is a question of medical research yet, but we can contribute to eliminate or postpone the arrival of the diseases related with the end of the youth. The most important point is our genetic, we need begin our lives with a correct cellular information and hence not nuclear mutations, but we must take care ourselves too. We must start controlling the diet: since ancient times the human beings surfered hungry, then if we have a diet full of sugar or fat, our body will hold this extra energy therefore our level of colesterol will be higher and our heart will need work harder to bring the blood to each corner of the body; that could causes a heart disorder. The excess of sugar can causes problems of adiction too and you can finish eating incredible amounts of junk food because this adiction. It’s essential eat meals with vitamins because this molecules are needed for the most important chemist reactions inside the body. Furthermore, it’s very important to avoid the toxic vices like tabac, drugs or alcohol, to put is more simply, we can take care in the rest of the previous points, but if we forget this question we can ruin all the result. The exercise is impostant too: our joints and muscules need to move; not hard exercise because it can causes arthitis due to the lost of cartilage, but to walk or to cycle a bit everyday can preserve our agility and mobility. In conclusion, if you pamper your body, your body will return you a healthy life.

Hollidays When we start to prepare our hollidays, the first question is to choose between a trip in our own country, or travelling abroad. The both choices have good arguments: If you decide to stay in your own country, You won’t problems of understanding, or medical attention; even you could know a friend there who could prepare a special touristic route with the most important places to visit and the better and cheaper restaurants. This trip permits to watch the Spanish art learned at the school or college. The second choice can show you how the live is in a foreign country, this question can be important to detect the things that you could get better, even if you should change your life to a new place when you’re demotivated. In my opinión this sort of trip is useful to practice a foreign language and to appreciate new places. A lot of wars could be avoid knowing which things join ourselves. I conclusión, each type of trip has it’s own appels. You must to decide what do you want to do in those days far away from your job, and try to find it choicing the best option.

How do you usually go to work?

We have a lot of alternatives: car, to share a car, train, bike, to walk... but, do we choose the cleanest choice for the environment?
