Definition Essay

The word friendship is defined as the condition of sharing a friendly relationship. Also, it is the feeling and behaviour that exists between friends.
In our point of view, the value someone gives to another person is called FRIENDSHIP. An example is when you say to one person that he or she is his/her best friend.The other day I went with my friend to the cinema and we laugh a lot, jajaja, it was so funny.
If you have a bad day, or you feel nervous about something, you cannot be the same as when you were with your friend, so your friendship with the other person won´t be the same as before.
All in all, you have to be comfortable with your kind of friendship. It´s a lovely way to have a relation with your best friend.

The Dream

After 10 months of her mother`s death, Lucy was hoping that her mother, Susy, would tell her something very important.
Lucy was a beautiful woman, she had 25 years and she was living in Los Angeles, a house with little to do; it was small because only Lucy was there. She always remembered her mother, how sweet and how wonderful she was.
One day, Lucy saw a man who was with a motorbike. This man was getting near. He told Lucy that her mother was alive and was waiting for her in Lucy`s house.
Lucy ran into the house, went in to the living room and nothing was there. She toured all the house and there was nothing. The girl went where the man was and he disappeared. Lucy was very nervous and she had a lot of problems, one of this problems was that she couldn`t find Susy who was supposedly alive.
The night came and, when she closed her eyes, all of a sudden, it was only a dream.

Petition Letter

Dear Local Authorities from Calcutta
I am Marina Lecour and I am 14 years old. I`m studying at Newlands School.
Calcutta has a lot of problems. The Provision of services is one because the electricity, schools and hospitals are amounts of money that you spend without thinking about it. Another is the physical problems that consist of heavy rainfall that is brought by tropical storms because of the bad weather condition.
On September 1, 2011, I talked about these problems to my partners and they told me that we can reduce the electricity by putting ecological bulbs. The following day we thought that in the streets we can build pipes for water not to flood.
It is your obligation to do something for your people, they deserve a better life.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Marina Lecour

ESSAY

The CAP is the Common Agricultural Policy. The basic aims of the Cap when it was set up in 1962 in Europe were to create a single, internal market in which agricultural products could move freely; to give financial support to farmers who accept CAP and to increase the average field size, farm size and farmers income. in this Essay we are going to talk about the Advantages and the Disadvantages of it.
On one hand, with reference to the advantages, farmers don`t need to compete against other farmers. they don`t need to use their savings if they want to start farming. If they increase the size and the farmer`s income, they not only can produce more but also earn more. These are the advantages because they can increase the farm size, move freely and give financial support so this benefits them.
On the other hand, however, there were also disadvantages. for example, there isn`t any other market to sell products for them to be more expensive; if the farmers don`t accept CAP they won`t receive money; if they don`t have money, they can`t increase the farm. These are the disadvantages because if these things happen, it is more difficult to earn money.
To sum up, the CAP would have been more productive if only had benefited farmers without money.

In Britain, the best Lake District National Park

It's a beautiful place! I spent a lot of time there; I really enjoyed it. It has mountains, valleys and a lake scenery. They are wonderful.
The best thing about this place is that you can see things that in another place you can't. This place attracts the tourists, also second-home owner and retired people.
It has beautiful views and landscapes, such as mountains, lakes, etc. I like this place, it has the latest Lake District National Park Plan which identifies several special qualities such as the mixture of natural and formed landscapes, diversity of flora, spectacular scenery and a wide range of ecosystems.
So, with all this, I recommend visiting such a lovely place because you will have a nice time to spend with friends and family.

Glaciares, reserva de agua dulce

Actividad N°1
Un glaciar es una masa de hielo gruesa que se mueve por la fuerza de su propio peso. Son reservas de agua dulce, de recurso muy valioso. Es una fuente potencial de energía hidroeléctrica. La Cordillera esta cubierta por dos extensas capas de hielo, que contienen 47 glaciares. Al Oeste se van por el Pacifico y al Este por Ríos Patagónicos.

Actividad N°3
1- El método mas comúnmente utilizado mide directamente en terreno el cambio de masa de glaciar. Esta medición se lleva a cabo a partir de una instalación de una red de estacas (llamadas balizas, stakes) en la mayor parte del glaciar. En su sección alta, donde generalmente la acumulación supera la ablación, se excavan pozos o se hacen perforaciones donde se mide directamente la cantidad de nieve o de hielo acumulada (o) entre e inicio y el fin del año hidrológico.
Posteriormente, por densimetría es convertida (o) en equivalente de agua.
Cambios de elevacion: Topografía Superficial mediante GPS que sirve para proporcionar estimaciones precisas de posición, velocidad y tiempo.

Video Hielos Continentales

Este video fue hecho con el propósito de que el derretimiento de los glaciares no sea tan frecuente. 
Acá, lo que nos cuenta, es que hay que prevenir que esto siga ocurriendo. Ojala todas las personas puedan ayudar con este fenómeno a que no se siga derritiendo frecuentemente.

Volumen de los Glaciares

Entre 1968 y 1975 hubo una pérdida anual promedio de 13.5 km3  
Entre 1995 y 2000 hubo una pérdida anual promedio de 38.7 km3
El Glaciar Perito Moreno aporta al Río Santa Cruz por fusión. 
0,58+0.39= 0.97 km3
Una pileta de natación de 25 mts. x 10 mts. tiene un promedio de profundidad de 2 mts. 
Volumen de agua= 25 mts. x 10mts. x 2 mts.= 500 mts3
7x 13.5 km3=94.5 km3
5x38.7 km3= 193.5 km3. La suma de estos dos números es de 288 km3
En 12 años (del 1968 al 1975 y 1995 al 2000) se perdió 288 km3 
1 km3= 1000mts x 1000 mts x 1000 mts
1km3= 1000.000.000 km3 
Volumen= 288.000.000.000 mts3 equivale a 576.000.000 piletas.  

Como nos organizamos para trabajar

Los integrantes de este grupo son :
Agustina Baibiene: busco la informacion para poner en el dialogo junto a Ma. Agustina Turano
Carolina Vazquez y Gonzalo Belen: buscaron los videos para guiarnos un poco de que se trata el video y los cortaron para insertarlos en el video.
Ailin Castro Cendra y Marina Lecour: preparacion del dialogo.
Ma. Agustina Turano: busco informacion acerca de la ley de glaciares y algunas imagenes para acompañar.
Todos: ayudamos con la preparacion del video y Carolina Vazquez nos filmo

Físico Química y los Hielos Continentales

AGUA POTABLE: es el agua que esta potabilizada y que puede ser consumida sin restrcción. El término se aplica al agua que cumple con las normas de calidad promulgadas por las autoridades locals  internacionales.
AGUA BEBIBLE: es el agua que no esta potabilizada, pero es apta para el consumo.

AGUA DE RÍO: mayor densidad, menos contenido de agua salda, fluye con continuidad, es grande y ancho,desemboca en el mar. Se dividen en: PERENNES, ESTACIONALES, TRANSITORIOS Y ALÓCTONOS. No hay presencia de olas, no se encuentra sibre una plataforma. Integrado por agua de lluvia y deshielo.
AGUA DE MAR: menor densidad, agua salada, desciende en forma de escalones, pequeño y angosto, obtiene agua de río, presencia de olas, ubicado sobre una plataforma. Integrado por algunas desembocaduras de río.

Expedición Bicentenario y Los Hielos Continentales

La Expedición Bicentenario esta basada en los Hielos Continentales. Chicos de diferentes escuelas escribieron su sueño para que en el TRICENTENARIO, es decir, dentro de 100 años, lo abran y las personas que esten vivas lo puedan leer.
Estos sueños fueron enterrados en el chalten, Bariloche. Un grupo de andinistas se encargó de que esten bien guardados.
Nosotros, los chicos del Colegio Newlands, vivimos esta experiencia. Nos parecio genial la idea de enterrar nuestros sueños, es una idea fantástica!
En el mes de Abril, nos vino a dar una charla un andinista que vivió y estuvo en el viaje al Chalten. 
Nos contó que tenía algunas de estas vestimentas, eran estacas, botas especiales para el hielo, una soga por si alguien se caia, lo pudieran sostener, y otras muchas cosas para el hielo. Este seños se llama Javier Madaraz que vino especialmente para contarnos esta experiencia y algunas pautas por si tenemos ganas de visitar el lugar.

Diary entry

Dear diary,
                  Today I had the worst day of my life. All started when I woke up. when I opened my eyes, I found a spider climbing form the roof in front of my eyes. I started running and I fell down the stairs.
                  I went to my room to get dressed when I saw a naked old woman through my window. I threw out my dog and he started biting me (I thought all the worst had happen, but NO!)
                 After school, I went to the park when a bird poo on me. Then I, finally, arrived to the park. I sat on the grass, to listened to music, suddenly a fat woman was skating there amd she fall on me. At the moment, I couldn´t breath, but she stood up and left me on the floor. When I wanted to listen music again, I saw that my Ipod was broken.
                 At dinner I choked on with my bean, I tried to thrown it away, but finally I swallowed it.
                 While I was watching T.V, I felt something strange falling out of my nose, ¡ IT WAS THE BEAN!
                 I went to sleep and I saw again the naked woman smelling her inner arm. As I was so tired, I went to sleep and I said to myself, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!

The Computer Room

The computer room is my favourite place at home, because I can log into Facebook and Menssenger and chat with my friends, family, cousins, etc. You can also log into pages such as Google for searching things for school or for interest. But there are some bad things, a virus infect your computer, so you should be careful.
Computers can be small, bog enough or medium. I prefer using the netbooks because it is, for me, more comfortable to use. To sum up, the computer room can be an excellent to relax. Be careful on what you do, some virus can attack your computers.

Report on how to recruit young people to the party

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to recommend Hitler ways of recruiting young people. Nowadays, teenagers are interested in fashion, music and clothing.
FASHION
Designers think that people have to have all the necessary clothes: pair of trousers, t-shirts, skirts, pullover, etc. But people who go to school had to buy the clothes of the school. Designers have chosen green camouflaged clothes. The party should give the members camouflaged cloth to wear so that teenagers join the party.
CLOTHING
People should wear comfortable shoes, joggings, bullet-proof vest and militar hat, sweat-shirt and a green black t-shirt (militar´s t-shirts). These clothes are fashionable, people love them. They think it would be comfortable for their body
CONCLUSION
To sum up, you should respect these points of the report. If not teenagers won´t enter the party.

Video HOME

El vídeo me pareció muy interesante. Esa forma de mostrarle a la gente de que nuestro planeta cambio un montón es muy importante. Las imágenes fue lo que mas me impacto. En mi opinión esto quiere decir que tenemos que a aprender a cuidar nuestro mundo, porque es nuestra casa.
Me pareció una buena idea ver este vídeo, ya que esta relacionado con los Hielos Continentales.
Lo que mas me impresiono fue el paisaje, ver los cráteres de los volcanes y como lo habitantes de allí cultivan y cosechan su propia comida. Como me quede muy asombrada con estas cosas, lo único que pude rescatar fue que, al principio del vídeo, muestran aguas que desprenden muchísima agua. Este fenómeno siempre tiene la misma cantidad de agua en el mundo.
Otra importancia del vídeo, es cuando muestran que distinto es Argentina comparado con China. China, al ser con mucha población, tienen cosas fenomenales, que hacen que te atraigan, como el vídeo lo hacia en mi caso.

Rio de Janeiro...
                         A lost treasure
Rio is situated around the huge natural harbour of Guanabara, in south of Brasilia.
Rio is still one of the world´s largest cities. It has a lot of tourism, it is VERY GOOD and fun to go there, WHY? because it has very lovely beaches, with lots of things to buy, BLUE water and WHITE and soft sand. Last year I went there and all this is what I think about this place. On the beach there will be shows, parties and activities to play with your family.
Also, it is very RELAXING, you have a SPA with hot water. You´ll feel that is fantastic. You´ll spend a GREAT TIME.
But there were two big problems, TRAFFIC, because of the amount of people, there are problems in the routes. And POLLUTION because of all the cars and all the production for the people living there.
You´ll love this place. It´s so BEAUTIFUL and NICE that you will love it, as I love it.

Hielos Continentales

La Expedición Bicentenario se trata de hacer expediciones una en cada país de Argentina, incluyendo Islas Malvinas y la Antártida Argentina. Han logrado realizar 27 expediciones. Esta expedición conmemora los 200 años de la Revolución de Mayo.
El objetivo de esta expedición, fue llevar a cumbres, desiertos, selvas, ríos y llanuras, cajas donde se guardarán nuestros compromisos y valores para la generación del Tricentenario. 
Han realizado una expedición a los Hielos Continentales, la cual fue muy interesante. Tiene paisajes maravillosos y bellos, limita con Argentina y el agua potable es un elemento natural de ahi.
En 1995, la expedición "Sea, Ice & Mountains recorrió los Hielos Continentales, dirigiéndose hacia el Fiordo Peel, en el Pacífico.
