The strikes
In this text I'm going to talk about advantages and disadvantages of strikes:
First, I'm going to talk about the advantages of strikes:
One of them is that the students can claim agaist education reforms that we don't agree with it, another advantage is that in the demonstrations you can meet a lot of students that think the same that you think, (you have the same mentality).
On the other band, I'm going to talk about the disadvantages of strikes;
I think that there are a lot of students that make demonstatrions but they haven't enough information, and another disadvantage of strike is that most students use the days of strikes to be sleeping at home.
In conclusion, I agree with strikes, provided the strikess are legal, and I agree with doing domonstrations, provided the people how participate in the demonstration they fight for their duties without harming anyone or anything.

Easter week
Every year I have good plans for the Easter week, for example; I go with my family to ski, we visit other cities...But this year I will go to see my family to Madrid.
We decided to do this trip because I want to go to the Desing University to get information for my future studies, and I want to visit different museums related with art and fashion.
The rest of time I will spend the time with cousins, and we will go to parties.
I have got a feeling that it will be a good Easter week!

The world in the year 3000
I think that the world in the year 3000 will be very technological because science will advance a lot.
I imagine the world in the future with houses that will be able to move, cars will fly, the people will be able to watch the TV through glasses, for example.
The people will have a lot of knowledge about tecnology, but, I think that all of this will make people have less relation with other people, because all things will be computerized.

What do you think about American food?
I think that most of the people prefer food from their own country. I prefer food from my country.
For example, I have a cousin who is very busy in her work, so she can't return home to eat. She began to eat American food, and she has high levels of cholesterol.
To eat American food without excess is goog because you can taste other food different from your country and you can compare them.
But, on the other band, American food is made mostly of fat, and it can produces cholesterol, obesity...
In conclusion, I think is good to eat different food but without excess.

Everybody should speak English?
I think that everybody should speak English because it is good to know other languages and to increase our knowledge.
I have a fiend that said me he was in California with his parents, but they can comunicate with them because my friend knew English, if my friend's parents had gone alon, they couldn't have comunicated with them, because they didn't know English.
To learn English can give us freedoom and knowledge. But, everyone hasn't the resources to learn English.
In conclusion, I think everyone has the resources to learn English and they should use it. My advice is that to learning English is easy because language is made of little vocabulary.

Yanomami
Are a group of approximately 35,000 indigenous
people who live in some 200–250 villages in the Amazon
rainforest on the border between Venezuela
and Brazil.
The Yanomami live in villages usually consisting of their children and extended families.
the entire village lives under a common roof called the shabono.
The Yanomami depend on the rainforest; they use slash-and-burn horticulture, grow bananas, gather fruit, and hunt animals and fish.
Polygamous families consist of a large patrifocal family unit based on one man, and smaller matrifocal subfamilies
Children stay close to their mothers when young; most of the childrearing is done by women.
The women cultivate plantains and cassava in gardens as their main crops.
Men do the heavy work of clearing areas of forest for the gardens.
The Yanomami are among the few societies in the world to practice true polygamy.
Rituals are a very important part of Yanomami culture. The Yanomami celebrate a good harvest with a big feast, they gather large amounts of food.
They also decorate their bodies with feathers and flowers.
Girls typically get their periods between the ages of 10 and 12, and as soon as the period begins, girls are married off.
the Yanomami culture was described as being permeated with violence. The Yanomami people have a history of acting violently not only towards other tribes, but towards one another.
Yanomami frequently move to avoid areas that become overused, a practice known as shifting cultivation when the soil becomes exhausted.
The traditional Yanomami diet is very low in edible salt. For this reason, the Yanomami have been the subject of studies seeking to link hypertension
The Yanomami people practice ritual endocannibalism, in which they consume the bones of deceased kinsmen.
Hallucinogenic drugs, known as yekuana, are used by Yanomami shamans as part of healing rituals for members of community who are ill.
Women are expected to carry 70 to 80
pounds (32 to36k g) of crops on their backs during harvesting, using
bark straps and woven baskets.
Boys typically become the responsibility of the male members of
the community after about age 8.
