EAR ON THE ARM

A Chainese man lost an ear in an accident. He felt different and he wanted to implant a fake ear. For that reason the doctors took a cartilage from this man ribs, then cut the cartilage into the shape of an ear and they implanted the cartilage under the skin of the man.

Now the artificial ear needs to grow up for a few months and then the doctors will operate another time and they will cut off the ear of the arm and they'll put the ear in the side of his face. He has gone through many operations since his accident, not only for his ear, but also for his skin and cheeks.

Rib: one of a series of curved bones connected to the backbone and occurring in pairs on each side of the body.

Pioneering: being the earliest in a field of study, activity, etc.

Subsequently: occurring after.

This idea that have had the doctors is very well but on the other hand I think it's a nonsense since this man basically has done it to look better, since the ear will not let you hear anything.

MY SUMMER 

I like summer because there isn't school, we can travel with the family and another funny things, but I prefer winter.

This summer I go with my cousins, my sister and my grandparents on a cruise by the mediterranean sea; rome, florence, pompeya, pisa, costa smeralda and cerdegna. We had a great time, we went 8 days and 7 nights. At first it was unpleasant because the conditions of the boat were not as we expected and we had too much problems. I remeber the good moments into the cruise and the activities that we did.

Also I went to Formentera 4 days and I stayed in my town having a great time.

CHRISTMAS!!

Winter is my favourite season of the year because it comes accompanied with christmas. I love christmas because, appart of the presents, we make many meals with the family and we can open the fire and watch films or christmas films... I love it!! I love mount the christmas tree, put the christmas lights for decore my home, drink hot chocolate and go to buy the presents.

For example with my family we go to Olot in "La fageda de'n Jordà!" and we do some funny things. There are some songs that I listen in Christmas or before christmas to remember it, like "All I want for christmas is you-Mariah Carey" and "Black magic-Little Mix".

BOXING

We start by the dictionary definition;

Is a combat sport in which two opponents fight using only their gloved fists, striking their opponent from the waist up, within a quadrilateral specially designed for that purpose, in short sequences of fight called assaults or rounds.

Now I'm practice boxing and I want to explain you a few things about it.

I think it's a good sport for practice personal defence, do sports and mold your body. It's funy and enjoyable.

For practice this we need some basic things for example: equipment; boxing gloves, a leggings, and that's it!

Now we need to know some techniques for hit. These blows with rights and left hands. And the blow in the rib with both hands too.

PROTEST SONG

TRACY CHAMPAN ''talkin' Bout a revolution''

"Don't you know
They're talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
They're talkin' about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't you know
You better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh I said you better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' bout a revolution, oh

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion"

I choose this song; takin' a bout revolution because I think is the best one of th three songs that are in the blog. The song talks about that a revolution is starting. He also talks about the poor people who rebels because the army is going to steal their houses and other things.

United States Election Special

Donald Trump explains to the press that if he loses against Hillary Clinton he will not accept defeat. He also says that if he loses it will be because the elections are manipulated. These words of Trump among others, put in doubt the peace in the United States. A few days later in Delaware, Ohio, he made some comments about the language of Latin people and about Hilary as an "unpleasant woman".
Hillary Clinton said that his competitor's statements were "horrible" and accused him of taking refuge in the idea that any event that turns out against him - even an Emmy award that goes to a rival- is "rigged."

Refuge: a place of shelter, protection, or safety.
Defeat: to overcome in a contest.
