OPINION ESSAY!!


“ We have almost learnt to respect our world”


I disagree with the idea that the people have almost learnt to respect our world. In my opinion we've started to learn the first small part to respect our world that’s why most people start to recycle because if we don’t recycle we won’t be existence. The town halls make the cities and village recycle the rubbish.

At the moment, the people mistreat our world because we don’t respect nature. The people buy cars, motorbikes which aren’t good for the environment. Now everybody have has their car and perhaps they have two or more, they have a boat... The people have a lot of choice that it pollutes and this has very important consequences. Afterwards the air is polluted and there is a lot of disease, etc. Pollution can cause the death of a lot of people and it’s serious.

I also believe that businesses from rich countries pollute a lot. So in the city is the place most affected. As a result, we are wasting the world’s resources and finally we won’t have enough resources to survive because we are already wasting everything.

In conclusion, I would say that if we continue with this situation we pollute ourselves, that’s more or less what's happening now. So we have to make changes to save the our world. By starting to recycle that most people do at the moment, use more public transport, so the people don’t use their cars and this represents a decrease in pollution, etc.

A HEALTHY DIET CAN HELP FIGHT PROSTATE CANCER



Now, a doctor’s study found that almost four in 10 patients with aggressive prostate cancer did not need planned operations or radiotherapy after simple changes to their diet and exercise. Previous studies have shown that adopting healthier habits can help to prevent cancers developing.



The Cambridge researchers decided to test the effects of adopting a healthy regime for 110 men who had been diagnosed with the aggressive form of prostate cancer. They were asked to cut down on salt and alcohol, eat more only, lose weight and take moderate amounts of regular exercise. Some patients were also given vitamin and mineral supplements. Which the findings show made no difference to their cancer. All the patients also took small does of aspirin, although the researchers say there was no conclusive evidence that this helped.



Doctors monitored the progression of the cancer by testing for Prostate Specific Antigens (PSA), which rise as tumours grow.

My town!!!




I was born in Castelló d’Empúries, a town in Alt Empordà. It is a big town, there are approximately 10.000 people. The basilica is very important in Castelló d'Empúries, it's very big and beautiful, it's Romanesque. There is a washing place, Flour factory "farinera", viewpoint "mirador"...
Now, the "farinera" is a very famous museum. When you go there, they explain the processes of making flour and they show you the machinery.

I have lived in Castelló d’Empúries my whole life. I like this town because I have made a lot of friends. My friends and I sometimes go to Figueres to buy clothes because there are only shops for old people in Castelló d'Empúries and we can use public transport to go to Figueres.
Castelló d’Empúries holds the Medieval festival every September and it’s wonderful!! because everybody wears medieval clothes and the people put on shows in the town. Everybody enjoys it a lot because they participate.
