November 13: attacks in Paris

Last Friday, more than 120 people were killed and hundreds others injured after a series of coordinated terrorist attacks across Paris.
At the Bataclan theatre in east Paris, Kalishnikov-wielding gunmen stormed the building and fired blindy into the crowd.
At the Stade de France, at least three are thought to have been killed bt three separate explosions - one of which is thought to be a suicide bomber.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks in Paris.

I feel especially sad of what happened that day, because we are talking about my homeland, France.
Fortunately, I have no family living in Paris.
All my thoughs for the victims and their family.

Introduction and conclusion

Space Debris

Space Debris is still fallen to the Earth, and in many cases, it can cause catastrophic explosions and fatal consecuences for humans, like cáncer or tumors. Animals are also concerned, destroying their wildlife. However, this reality is something common in our daily lives, and to protect us from this fact, engineers and astronauts should reforce the ways of frontering space debris and radioactive materials.

Because of the possibe dangers of space debris for the environment and for human life, we should  take more care of the solutions found for it. Those solutions have to be more effective, with the goal of avoiding all kinf of situations that may danger humans, animals and the environment. To reforce this idea, here we have a quotation of Neil Armstrong: ''We should take care of our planet as good as we take care of our kids.''

The new Justin Bieber?

We all know Justin Bieber: a teen who became famous when singer Usher saw all the videos that Justin used to post, singing and playing the guitar, on Youtube. Since then, he is known worlwide. But what is also true is that not everybody used to appreciate him, including me: in fact, he was very criticized. The reason? I honestly have no idea. But, a few days ago, I was watching TV at home when I saw him in the Spanish programme ''El Hormiguero'', in which famous are invited and interviewed. He was giving a mini-concert and singing a song that I had already heard, and liked a lot. I had no idea it was a song of Justin Bieber! I could not believed it.

I've started listenning to his songs, and the truth is that he has improved a lot: all his recents songs are just amazing. The comments of people coincide with mines: Justin Bieber makes better songs and it's not the same Justin as a few years ago.

What do you mean? - Justin Bieber

Whay would you do if you won the lottery?

If I were a jackpot winner, I would probably realize one of my biggest dream: travel around the world. Rome, New York, Sydney, Thailand... would be one of my favourite destinations. Travelling to other countries gives you the opportunity to learn about new cultures, enriching you as person: and that's something wonderful. Besides that, I would also buy a nice car and move to another city, in which I could buy a big house with a beautiful garden and an amazing swimming pool. Another thing I would do if I became rich would be to colaborate with associations against animal abuse: it's something that affects and I would be extremly proud of myself if I could add my own little grain of sand. At last but not least, I would obviously share the money with my family and friends because: what's the sense of having so much if you have no one to enjoy with?

On the other hand, as a modern young person, I think that winning the lottery is not totally the answer to our problems: in fact, young people are lucky to have so many years to live yet. They have enough time to find a good job that fits to their needs. They have also, in most of cases, a good health (something that sometimes money can not solve).

So, winning the lottery could be a good help, but, unfortunately, it's not the answer to our problems; money does not give happiness.
