Diets

There are thousands of diets. Some are for losing weight, while others are for gaining weight, lowering cholesterol, living a long and healthful life, and many other reasons.

The Atkins diet, or Atkins nutritional approach, focuses on controlling the levels of insulin in the body through a low-carbohydrate diet.
The ketogenic diet has been used for decades as a treatment for epilepsy and is also being explored for other uses. It involves reducing carbohydrate intake and upping fat intake. It sounds contrary to common sense, but it allows the body to burn fat as a fuel, rather than carbohydrates.
There are various types of vegetarian: lacto-vegetarian, fruitarian vegetarian, lacto-ovo vegetarian, living food diet vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, and semi-vegetarian.
Veganism is more of a way of life and a philosophy than a diet. A vegan does not eat anything that is animal-based, including eggs, dairy, and honey. Vegans do not usually adopt veganism just for health reasons, but also for environmental, ethical, and compassionate reasons.
The raw food diet, or raw foodism, involves consuming foods and drinks that are not processed, are completely plant-based, and ideally organic.
The Mediterranean diet is Southern European, and more specifically focuses on the nutritional habits of the people of Crete, Greece, and southern Italy. Nowadays, Spain, southern France, and Portugal are also included, even though Portugal does not touch the Mediterranean Sea.

Globalization

Globalization is the process of interaction between people, companies and governments.
This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity.




Globalization has brought benefits in developed countries as well as negative effects.

The positive effects include a number of factors which are education, trade, technology, investments, employment, culture and organization structure.











The negative effects are jobs insecurity, capitol flows and so on...





















I think it is impossible to return to an economy and society without globalization.

Clark the shark

Clark the Shark

In the wide blue sea, there was a school, the top school of all the sea, its name was Theodore Roosterfish Elementary. Everyone went to this school, but, the biggest and the strongest kid was Clark the shark.

Clark was a shark, so when he played with his friends he was wild and he played very hard, while he was having lesson he made a lot of noise, when he ate with the others he munched everything etc.

So, nobody wanted to play with him, and he was very sad.

One day he asked to the teacher what was wrong with everyone, and she told him that there is a time and a place for everything, and when he was at school he had to stay cool.

Clark tried to stay cool but he always forgot it... all of sudden he had a great idea, he made a rhyme for everything he did.

For example, while he was having lesson the rhyme was "WHEN THE TEACHER IS TALKING, DO NOT GO WALKING", when he was having lunch the rhyme was "ONLY MUNCH YOUR OWN LUNCH".

So Clark was able to stay cool at school, and all his friends wanted to play with him.

Suddenly at school arrived a new kid, Sid the squid.

Sid was very big and very wild, like Clark, in fact, they immediately became friends; when they played together they were wild and they destroyed everything.

One day, while they were playing, Clark stopped and said to Sid that if he wanted to stay at school and play whit other fish he had to stay cool.

At that moment everyone cheered to Clark because finally he learned the rule:

"WHEN YOU ARE AT SCHOOL, STAY COOL" and also that "THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING".

My favourite film

My favourite film is "The fault in our stars", a film that is taken from a book, wrote by John Green. This is a dramatic film, that is based on the story of Eisel Grace, that has a cancer.
She falls in love with Augustus Water, another guy with a cancer. They have a story, and during this love story they go to Amsterdam and they meet Eisel's favourite writer.
When they come back, Augustus has several healthy problems and in a few of days he die.
I think that it's a wonderful movie because it teachs you that even if you have problems you can realize your dreams.
I advise you to see it!!!

A film review

Twilight
Twilight is a 2008 American romantic-fantasy film, based on Stephanie Meyer's popular novel of the same name.
This movie is directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and the film stars are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. It's the first film in The Twilight Saga film series.
This film is about the development of the relationship between Bella Swan, a teenage girl, and Edward Cullen, a vampire, and the efforts of Edward and his family to keep Bella safe from a coven of evil vampires.
The characters are brillant and the screenplay holds your attention; the creatures we see on screen, like Jacob the were-wolf, are really realistic.
The special effects are excellent, like the soundtrack.
I think it's the best movie I have ever seen!
If there is just one word that can describe this film, that would be absolutely "spectacular".
The film is for the older than 14 years old.

An unforgettable Christmas!!!!!!

When I opened the gift box I found a book about horses.
I was only 10 years old and I was in holidays because it was Christmas time.
In that year I really loved horses and Rihanna, a famous singer. For Christmas I wanted the tickets for the concert of Rihanna .
I really wanted it, so I asked to my parents if they could give me the tickets... but they said no.
On Christmas day, at the moment of opening- present I was really excited because I believed that my parents gave me the tickets... but when I opened the box I found a book about horses. I felt very sad, there were not the tickets. What a nightmare!
Suddenly, while I was reading the book, 4 tickets fell down, I was the happiest child in the whole world, I'll never forget that Christmas.
