I think that nowadays women are not guilty for being raped, they decide how they get dressed and how they treit people, obviously men will get tempted if they see a girl with skirts, shorts and t-shirts, but that is the problem of the men, not of the women. I think that women should be carefull because the clothes and how they get dressed really matters, if a man sees two women in the street, one with pants and jackey and the other one with a t-shirt and shorts, he probably will rape the one with lesd clothes because it is easier for him, but as I said before, women can dress as they want but they need to be carefull
Alcohol drinking in teenagers is becoming a more and more serious topic in England

By: Sebastian Restrepo
        London, England

In England, specially this year, teeangers between 15 and 18 years old are drinking in abundance when the go to parties and the dont know what they are doing to their bodies and their health.

Doctors have proved that teenagers between 15 and 18 years old do not develop their neurons correctly and they are not able to do cognitive activities, and what is more probable is that they can continue drinking alcohol when they become adults. Also, these teenagers if they continue drinking, alcohol can affect their memory and learning.

Parents interviewed last monday in the center of London have said that they know that their children drink alcohol but they dont tell them, they think that are in a stage of life where they want to try new things, that is the alcohol in this case, most parents said that their children tell them that they drink when they turn 17 years old. They aldo said that, even the know their children drink, they dont let them drink untill they turn 18 years old.

Teenagers interviewed last thursday near the London Eye said that they drink alcohol every single party they go, but that they dont get too drunk, that they know their limits, not only boys interviewed, girls said thay they drink too but that they dont get as drunk as the boys. They also said that they lie to their parents when the party is over and they go back home, they say to their parents, no matter what, that they didnt drink alcohol during the party.

Iam a boy, Sebastian, Iam 18 years old and before I was born they married me, now that Iam older I disagree and I complety refuse to get married with the woman they assigned me. I really dont feel comfortable because I dont even know the woman. I dont love her and she doesnt love me either.

As I said before, I won't get married with that girl. To get married, you need to feel love, and I dont feel any love for her, the only thing that I know is that her name is Abu Khali and she is 21. My father keeps asking me to get married with her, and wheb I say no to him, he hits me on the face, but I still say no and I run to my room and lock it for a few hours. I will do whatever I need to do to not get married with Abu Khali and Iam sure she doesnt want to marry me, it will be a boring relationship without any feelings.

I really dont like my religion and this tradition of getting married with a girl you dont know... it has no sense, they should let you choose the girl you love and that you want, and if she is not I will think about changing my religion and get out of the country as soon as I can.

If this diary entry gets lost, please pick it up and transmit it to all the people you can, thank you.

Well, I will describe this image and name some informtion about it.

The location of this image is Africa,  at the midle of the image on the background we can see a poor construction of only three floors, looks like is made of bricks and is in really bad conditions. In the bottom left side corner at the foreground we can see a black boy running around the building and in the right corner we can see two builders with some kids looking at them, the are like analyzing the building, seems like they want to restaurate some things. At the foreground we can also see the dirty ground, is a ground full on sand and trash and that reveals the really bad condition where those person live and share everyday

The caption of this image is "Nowadays coloured people in Cape Flats feel discriminted by black people. In the past, this situation was lot different.

This caption means that in that area before, discrimination was less than it is now.

Words: 171
"There are several ways
to defeat poverty and 
one of them is technology.
People in the world disa-
cknowledge how important
this tool is in some countries".

Did you know that africans have more access to internet that to clena water?

According to CNN, mobile phones have changed people´s life in different ways, but have phones actively changed people in Africa?

Mobile phones in Africa have a bunch of positive stuff, for example, people taht work in agriculture can consult the prices of the food that the recolect and sell or buy.

Another stuff that you can do with mobile phones in Africa is pay a bus with your cellphone, paying with internet that is free, you can go to a place to another only paying with your cellphone.

The other stuff people can do with mobile phones in Africa is that the payment of the phone is lower that traditional transfer agents and the WI-FI is free.

To finish, 13.000 people in africa have freely access to mobile phones to do all the stuff that I said before and it is a huge benefit to all africans that have mobile phones, also orange money says that it serves 40 million customers in ten countries of Africa.

There are three ways to say mobile phones have changed people in Africa; political activism, the entertainment and health.
Holi Festival


Hello, my name is Sebastian Restrepo and I will describe this picture above.

First of all, in this picture I can see the Holi Festival of India, that is a festival of colors, I can see four girls in the foreground, painting their faces to each other with a different variety of colors, specially red and blue, the four girls have more than two colors painted on their faces, the girl on the left is painting the one o the right, the one that is at the back is painting the one on the middle and they look very happy.

At the background I can see a banner, a colorful banner, I guess that it has the name of the Holi Festival in the indian language. Also, I can see more people painting themselves or having fun with their familiesat this colorful festival.

The celebrate this because I think it is a tipical cultural activity of India.

I relate this with "The Color Run" in Chile, that it is a race that is organized all the years, you can walk, jog or run, this always finish with a party after the race

In my conclusion I can say that each country has their cultural activities, as we can see, India has the Holi Festival, making happy moments for their Gods.

McDonalds News Report





1) McDonalds founded the 15 of May of 1940 by Dick and McDonald, the first restaurant was opened in San Bernardino (California), the first menu consisted of 20 items, mostly barbecue. In 1975 McDonalds decided to incorporate "AutoMac".

In 2014 serves approximately 58 million customers a day in more than 33,000 establishments


2) One go the million reasons about why McDonalds has received bad prense is because the famous chef Jamie Oliver investigated about what McDonalds hamburgers are made. He said that this meat was the fatty parts of the beef and are "washed" in  ammonium hydroxide that  is used in the filling of burgers and they are considered unfit for the human consumption.


3) To improve their images McDonalds has introduced new menus, their are looking to reinvent and give a new face to their consumers, also has initiated a communication strategy that wants to show the public that is another story.

 The time came to introduce healthy food McDonald's. The sale of salads and fruit exchange for potatoes Happy Meal is one of the innovations that the food company tries to show a change, also make public the calories of their products.


4) The process of the meat begins in veal farms. All that ends up as meat burger at McDonald's. All of the meat of each country is from the same, and is never imported to other countries.

Meat comes from different cattle farms, then  they are cut up and deboned, so there is no charge of this process, the meat comes already prepared. The first process in the factory after the reception is to pass quality controls, which not only controls of germs,  also checked by a person if the meat have  traces of bones or tendons. All meat must pass quality checks before starting the process in the factory

Potatoes are removed from the land where they are checked and if they are in good condition are used in the restaurant of each country. As same as the meat, potatoes are never imported to other countries, they are removed of the land of the country where the will be sold.

Blog Activity

1-Caption: "The Simpsons are the best display of disobedience to parents, lack of interest in school and overall mischievousness. Therefore, they are a negative influence on children and teenagers.

2-Image: Homer.

3-What I learn in class: I learn that not all videogames are bad for children, if a children play many hours a videogame that have a lot of blood and many deaths, will go slowly getting into the game until he or she thinks that the real life is exactly that the game, but is totally different, and the parents they need to know what they are playing and have control of it.

4-Supp information: Some videogames can help children learn, help in solving problems and develop skills, but there is concern about the effect of violent games in children and teenagers who play excessively.

5-Supp information 2: Some childrens may be "inmune" to the horror of violence, inmitiate the violence that they see and show more agressive behaviour is because the expocision of the violence and also, some childrens may accept violence as a way to solve problems.

6-Opinion: In my opinion, childrens can play an amount of time determined by the parents and as long as parents know what their childrens are playing, and if it is a negative behaviour will have to remove the game.

7- 3 important ideas: "Some childrens are inmune to the horror of the games".
"Parents need to have control of what their childs play" and "Some games help childrens to develop some skills.

Opinion Piece

I think that tattoos are not bad, each person decides what to do with his body and no one can tell them not to it. Today is better to have tatoos than 20 year ago. Before, the person ho have tatoos was seen like a murder or a criminal, those who where doing tatoos were gang members or people who wanted to show something and it was frowned upon.

The first tattoos were made in the jails by the prisioners tattoing different thing that they have they own meaning, and after everyone started getting tattos like a body art.

It is most normal a girl having tattoos than a man, certainly, woman have more tattoos than the mens. In this days the tatoo is seen like an art in a body, the people who has tattoos want to show it to the comunity doing tatoos on their arms or legs.

I think if you do moderatly tattoos and dont cover all your body is well, because when you see a guy covered of tattoos is disgusting, what their gonna do when they became old? the gonna regret it and there is no way to take off a tatto. You can operate but there will be a scar for the rest of your life.

That is because I think the tattoos have to do it with moderation and being aware that it will in your body forever.
