Sales Nowadays, it is said we are one of the most easy manipulated people from all ages. We go here and there looking for things which we think we need and which will bring us the happiness. Shop sellers know that, and they make the most of the situation. The dealers use the “sales” as an excuse to make us feel more strongly the need of buying things to feel well. In fact, the things that we can found in sales are always not as good as the rest of the clothes the shop sell during the year. They fool us making us thing we have autocontrol and that we know exactly when and what buy. However the reality is that in sales, we lose our minds and get things that probably, thinking carefully, we wouldn’t buy because, we don’t actually need them. I think we shouldn’t lose the sight of what we need, and be more conscious about sales, which are in fact a great business which sometimes consider us Guinea pigs.

The city that never sleeps - I can't remember a happiest moment but when I was told that I was going to visit New York. It is said that when you visit it, you can love it or hate it for all your life. I chosed the first option. It was amazing. One of the things that surprised me was the variety of people who were there. I live in Madrid, which I love very much. It is a big city, or almost I used to think it was, but New York... It is completely different! You can see people from all over the world, doing crazy things, talking, walking, laughing... Even sitting in a bench you can discover what is New York like. It is a mix of little things : the song of the Ice-cream van, the lights in Time's Square, the shops, the coffee, the restaurants, the Bridges, the baseball matches in Central Park .... When you realise how big and incredible is the world. You know how many opportunities life gives you. You discover a thousand ways of living your life, and a thousand more of enjoying it.

What really matters As we grow up, we usually change our mind about so many things, even the important ones. We consider new points of view, we meet new people, maybe we start doing a degree, or we have the opportunity to visit new places... So living is changing, thats how we grow up, this is how we mature. Also our preferences are been altered : when we are a child, the family is the most important thing for ourselves. With our relatives we feel protected and loved. Friendship relationships are a very important issue then too.Usually, our friends are the people who surround us, our school mates and our out-of-school activities ones. However when we are teenagers, the family doesn't have the same importance as it has years earlier. We rely on our friends. However not all the friends are the same. We choose the closest ones, depending on their personalities and objectives in life. We see ourselves as a part of a group, our gang. That's how we value people. As years go by, we change one more time our main objectives. Careers, degrees, jobs and money are the most frequent choices. We worry about our future, about what we want to do in life, about the rol we want to play in society, so we put all our efforts on those ones. We feel independant, and in the top of the mountain. Of course we have friends. Although maybe they are not the same ones. We meet new people : work colleagues, class mates at uni... Only the old best friends keep staying with us. Now we don't depend on them to see who we are, but we share with them important moments. When we get married, or we start a established relationship everything changes again. Maybe we have children, so now we have a new family. This is the most important thing for us then. We feel happy and full of life. We have a new aim : to raise our children.

Internet, the most important discoverment nowadays. Currently, the public is very used to the Internet. Every day billions of people use it for doing researching, for updating their social network’s profiles, for communicate with their relatives and closest friends… However, we usually do not pay too much attention to its importance. Internet has changed our lives and sometimes, we are not enough conscious about this. Internet has not only allow us to do so many things we couldn’t do some years ago but also, to change how we do those things. On the one hand, the speed that Internet offers to us is a breakthrough. For example, we can send e-mails in less than a second, this was impossible some time ago. Internet also helps us to access to a great amount of information with a simple “click”. On the other hand, there have appeared cyberbullys, hackers and e-thiefs. Thus, we have to be very cautious when surfing the net. In addition, most of the criminals use Internet to hide and commit innacurate actions. In brief, Internet brings us a lot of possibilities, in fact, it sets out different ways of living our lives.

A catchy name ? Hi everyone. Currently I am working on a project which consists in creating an app for people from Madrid and people from other countries too. The aim is to create a group of people who can help each other to learn languages. In addition, in the app they could arrange an appointment and meet to have a couple of drinks or whatever. So I have to find a catchy name but I can't find nothing interesting. Some words that might help would be: Languages Fun Friends Mates Learning Fun City Social

A horrorful meeting One of the people Bruno misses the most was his grandma. She was 62 yeard-old woman, who had been dedicating all his life to performance. She lived with Grandfather in Berlin, in the same neighbourhood Bruno liked so much to live in. Bruno loves with all his heart his grandfathers. He misses the family parties, where all the relatives met together to share their experiences, to sing, perform and dance. However, they do not see each other since there was an argument in the latest party they had. In that occasion, Father , was so proud because he had obtained a new status : “Commandant”. As such, he had a new uniform which showed his power. All the family was very proud of him. Everyone except Grandmother. She was upset and hopeless with his son’s job. She doesn’t feel proud at all of the things that german soldiers were doing for the countrie’s safe and honour. So she told the family what she thinked of during the party. As a consequence of that, the family argued and splited up. Bruno doesn’t know what really happened there, and he is sad because he has moved away and he can not see his grandfathers who are far away now. So he decides to write them a letter telling them the news.

She took credit for something she hadn't done .Chapter 7. How Mother Took Credit for Something She hadn’t done. Bruno continues in his aim of finding something interesting for killing the time. He is looking for a tyre and a rope which he can make a swing with so he asks Lieutenant Kotler for a favour. Kotler is a young serious good-looking soldier. Despite of the soldier’s good outlook, which only Greetel seems to have noticed as far as she is flirting with him, Kotler is a very arrogant show-off and very mean perso. He traits roughly Pavel, who is the person charged to cook and buy the groceries for the house’s supplies. Pavel helps Bruno to find a good tyre, so the kid could make a good swing. Everything is going ok, until Bruno falls down the swing and has wounded. He has some scratches, a nasty cut and a wide bleeding gash. Pavel, who was close enough Bruno, to be seeing the danger, inmediately goes to help the young boy. He cleans and disinfects the cuts gently. Bruno is impressed, how could a cook do it so well? . Pavel confess him, that he used to be a doctor however he is not anymore. When mums arrives, feels grateful with Pavel’s help, although she tells Pavel that if someone’s asks for what happened there, she is the one who has helped Bruno. In fact, she wants to take credit for something she hadn’t done.
