2. DISCUSSION ESSAY.

Computers have made the world a better place.

I think that’s a good affirmation. The computers and technology have made the world in a better place because offered a lot of resources and facilities day a day.
Before, the people consulted something in the books or some documents, and now, for example, we can consult all that we need in “Internet” (one system that we can including in the computer).

In one hand, the computer it’s a really good thing in all the aspects. It transforms a lot of things that we can make with our hands and make more facilities of search of all the topics. Nowadays it’s a think that unconsciously we need.

In the other hand, computers are an addiction for some people, and all the addictions are bad. So, for this reason I think too that the computers contribute bad things and bad costumes. At this moment in time, we can’t live without computers.

In conclusion, I would say that in our world the technology is very important and the progress too. The computers have good and bad things, but…as all. For this reasons I think that the computer have made the world a better place.

McDonald's sued over nude photos

A US couple is suing McDonald's for $3m (£2m) after nude photos of the woman, which were on her husband's mobile phone, ended up on the internet. Phillip Sherman says he accidentally left his phone, with the photos, at a McDonald's and promised to secure the phone until he could retrieve it. Tina Sherman, who she had to move to a new home after the woman's name, address, and phone number appeared online along with the photos, says she began receiving offensive calls and text messages about the pictures from her husband's mobile phone after he left it at the McDonald's. The nude pictures have been removed from the website that had posted them and McDonald's Corp, the franchise owner and the manager have so far refused to comment on the case.

Hello Gemma!

I'm Gemma Gasull, one of yours students. I was born in Girona, in 28th January of 1991, for this reason I'm 17 years old .I live in Castelló d'Empúries, next to the "La Caixa" and the town, with my mother, my stepfather (because my parents has been separate when I was 4 years old), my dog (his name is Indi) and my grandmother (but she's in another floor). I have a sister too, very important for me, she's an artist with the music, the photograhy and a long, etc!

Well, I can't define my personality (and me in general) so good, but I'll have to get it somehow! I really like staying with my firends, I enjoy her company!, I love make photos, watch the artistic photos and imagine the sensation of the profesional photograph when the people become crazy when saw some amazing photo.
My favourite food is rice, pasta, cheese, sweets, dates... and in the other hand, I'm enemy with the fish.

In the futur, I hope be a master teacher of disabled persons or deaf and blind persons, but well...I think that's a trade very difficult because you need to have a heart of stone, and I don't know that I can put up with it, so...I don't know which future I'll select for me, time on time and patience, all the things came!

Well, I think that now you know some little details of me, so...
See you tomorrow Gemma!

Bye!

NEWS. Clinton Ends Campaign With Clear Call to Elect Obama

in Washington, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton brought her campaign for the White House to an end on Saturday with a rousing farewell to thousands of supporters here and an emotional and unequivocal call for her voters to get behind Senator Barack Obama, the man who defeated her for the Democratic nomination.
At that point the cheers, mostly from women, swelled so loud that Mrs. Clinton’s remaining words could not be heard.
It was a dramatic — and at times theatrical — end to a candidacy that transfixed the country. Many of her supporters watched, some weeping, turning out to witness and appreciate the history of this latest turn in the Clintons’ story. If it was a clearly personal moment for Mrs. Clinton, it was a political one as well, as she tried to marshal her large following on Mr. Obama’s behalf.

NEWS. The revolutionary

During much of his 45-year career, Saint Laurent, who died in Paris on Sunday at the age of 71, held the style world in his thrall, wielding an influence that dominated the runways and exerts a fascination to this day.
Saint Laurent, a stylistic rebel with a paradoxically conservative streak, arguably did more to advance fashion than any designer of his generation. His signal contribution to the world of style was to elevate the lowly and the outré, conferring an aristocratic insouciance on modes of dress once considered too gritty or exotic for conventional wear.

Today Saint Laurent is a touchstone for designers hoping to demonstrate a mastery of tailoring and draping. In the mid-’90s, Mr. Ford was alternately criticized and lauded for his fidelity to the designer. In his collections for Gucci, his curvaceous blazers and dinner jackets recalled the gender-bending sexuality of a Saint Laurent piece memorably captured in the ’70s by Helmut Newton.

Even in his sportier styles, Saint Laurent championed a sexy androgyny. Successors to the safari jacket introduced in 1968 resurface on designer catwalks almost every season. On its debut, it caused a furor, sending devotees to Abercrombie & Fitch to improvise interpretations of their own.
