Final Reflection

Well, now for sure we can say that we did it! We have survived the Batxillerat. After two years of hard work, we have arrived at the end of what is say to be the hardest courses in our lives and now it's time to start what is say to be the best years of our life. Yes, a big change is coming for all of us. But now, before do the last step, it's time to look back and see everything we've been through. This LAST post is dedicated to one final reflection and the blog will serve me as a perfect tool for this last task. 

So when it comes to my English (which is mainly what is this blog), I have to go back to 2013 to find my first post. It was about my dream, and now when I read it again I realise that this year I have fulfilled a dream: go to England! I didn't remember it. 

Looking now all my post from 4th of ESO is like having little flashbacks. I write about things I had no idea, it's funny. 

But I can see (fortunately) a big improvement in both, the writings and the themes. The first ones are like "my favourite..." and now they seem a bit ridiculous, really. Comparing with my laters post, for example, the way they are writing, the structure or the extensive have improved a lot. Also, the appearance and the design of the blog have been improving with posts. 

I also have seen a big change in the themes I choose to talk. My latest post are about themes I'm keen on. The news for example, now I like to choose the ones that are related to current science, astronomy or curious topics. 

One of the things I like to talk about in the blog is about movies (as you have seen in the second term). My first film-review was in 2014 about the film All is lost. I am proud to say that I have also improved in this. 

Oral presentations, one of those things that like the blog, you have to do term by term. The first oral presentation I have on the blog it's from the last year. Comparing with the last ones I can't notice big changes but fo example, one thing that I do no longer is to say "aaaamm" between phrases. 

Lookin all my post since the beginning in 4th of ESO I have found some really interesting. I have read again about my Berlin experience and it has made me remember the great trip I lived. Then, from 4th ESO too, I have found what I use to think that was my bets post of the course: Choices. If I thought that the decision we made that year was difficult it's because I really have no idea how difficult it is to choose a career. 

My posts from 1st of Batxillerat are already better than before. I have a lot of favourites in this year: Into the Wild, The Nightmare Before Christmas, La Isla Mínima, Black Mirror: white Christmas (what remembers me that I have to look the las episode yet) or the final reflection from last year Looking Back. 

Now it's time to say goodbye to the place we have to live our teenager age and because of that to the place that has seen us make a big change. Let behind the high school also involves let behind a lot of people and at this moment, I'm not only referring only to classmates and friends of this stage but also to all the teachers wich have help to launch us to the big world. It's time to say goodbye a lot of things that I'm going to miss but it's also time to say hello to new ones that are coming.

4th May 2016

Dear Mr Rajoy,

I am writing in order to complain about the few mesures that have been carried out to stop the climate change. 

Climate change and the enviromental changes in general represent one of the big difficulties that we have to face nowaday. The fcat that our politics does not propose any mesure to try to solve the problem seems to mean that it is something that does not affect us. But the reallity is very different: animals are disapearing, the Poles are melting and the sea levels are raising each year. According to experts, if we continue in this form life on Erth will became really difficult not only for animals but also for humans. 

In view of the big problem tha climate change involves and the few stpes that have been taken i think it would be necessary that if our goverment do not want to do anything they coulds help organitations that rally figth agains the problem by grants for example.
Looking forwars o hering from you.
Yours sincerely,
Berta Mateos

Canary, candidate for the giant telescope

Canary increse their possibilities to take the 30-meter telescope. A delegation of American scientists has spent three days on the island of La Palma to study the conditions of the observatory and they recognize that Canary is economically the most profitable option.The director os the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, Rafael Rebolo, after the work of technical committee of the telescope TMT agree that Canary have a very serious option to ensure the success of this project. These specialists collectes information to consider the Canary candidacy as an alternative to build this telescope.

This enourous project of 1,400 million of investment in cutting-edge science is blocked since 2014. The idea was to raise the telescope TMT in Hawaii, but legal issues have been an impediment to the construction: the courts have recognized that not met requirements to build it in Mauna Kea, a sacred mountain  according to the native religion of Hawaiians and it  has special environmental and cultural protection.The chief operating officer of TMT, Christophe Dumas, recognize that they can't wait any longer. Hawaii is the favorite place to build and thei are going to gove them a few months but if finally they can't carry out the project in Hawaii they have to choose an alternative place. "Time is money" say Dumas.

A team of five people in the TMT has been studying the feasibility of La Palma: geophysical conditions of the island, the quality of the sky to know the percentage of nights that can make science and the infrastructure of the observatory, which are very good and has been hosting telescopes from several countries during decades.

Dumas also admit that in Canarias the cost of operation is less than elsewhere because the fact that the physical and digital communication infrastructures are already built would save many investments. The team was serching for potential sites for the giant telescope, which aims to observe points unseen of the universe, and now by an informatic analyze they want see what would be the optimal point depending on the winds and orography.
