The Kids Are Alright

The kids Are Alright is a perfect film to see with friends on a Saturday afternoon. It is about an unconventional family its problems. The kids, laser (Josh Hutcherson) aged 15 and Joni (Mia Wasikowska) aged 18, have two mothers Nic and Jules. Nic’s a doctor and a perfectionist, and Jules was almost an architect once and is now maybe sort of kind of thinking about landscape design.

The family is alright in the beginning, but the trouble starts when the sperm donor, Paul, appears when he receives a phone call from Joni. Paul will turn upside down the family. Some people could think that The Kids Are Alright tries to normalize homosexual families, but actually, the fact that Jules and Nic are lesbians and have two kids seem very normal in the film. That is helped by the good work of the actors in this movie.

The film, generally, is very funny. Every Laser´s comment makes laugh. However, it is the typical American film: a happy family with a big house and a good car, but then the interloper appears and the family starts having problems. However, in the end the family sorts out the problems and they are again happy. To sum up, I recommend this entertaining film to everybody, if you are not against lesbian families. If you are, change your mind, The Kids Are Alright.

Paradise

I would like to live in Hawaii. Hawaii has two things that I love: the waves and the weather. I love surfing, and everybody knows that in Hawaii are the best waves in the whole world. Hawaii’s climate is typical for the tropics, but the temperature and humidity aren’t so high because of trade winds from the east. The weather is perfect! I mean, it is hot and doesn’t rain so much. I like hot weather, and I hate winter.

As I said before, I love surfing, and this is the main reason why I would live in Hawaii. I would like to move to Oahu, the biggest island in Hawaii. Oahu has good break points, like pipeline. Writing this I remember tale that every young surfer knew in Zarautz, the tale John John´s tale. John John was (is) a surfer of my age that didn’t go to school because he wanted to surf. It was said that her mother taught him, and that he used to surf all the day.

Now I know that John John exists. John John Florence is one of the best junior surfers in the world. He lives near pipeline, and he knows it very well. I think I will never surf there because it is very dangerous. A lot of surfers and photographers have died after hitting the reef.

Hawaii is a perfect place to live: good waves, good weather and better beaches. What more do you want?

IMMIGRATION

I’m Julen, and today I would like to talk about immigration. Immigration has increased a lot, and some people think that this is a problem. Personally, I don’t think so. Immigration can have cons, but I think that generally it is always positive.

Immigration gives cultural diversity. We can learn from others cultures and that could give us the wealth we can’t obtain with money. Immigration could also promote our solidarity and empathy.

But immigration also has cons. Crowding is one of the disadvantages of immigration. People immigrating to another country could lead to crowding in that country. This country would use more resources and that would carry an imbalance of natural resources. Immigration may bring diseases from another country, and that is one of the problems we have to fight.

To sum up, I think immigration is good for our life. However, we have to control the crowding and the transfer of diseases.

My description

Welcome everybody! Today I’m going to talk about me. I know that descriptions are a bit dull, sorry, completely and absolutely dull but I will try to do it easy to read and funny. I said I will TRY, I’m not a comedian, don’t be confused. I’m getting to be dull, so let´s get started.

I live in the best town in the whole world, Zarautz. I am sorry if you are reading this and you are from other city, Zarautz is simply the best. Zarautz has a 3 km. beach with quite good waves.

Yes, fortunately I live in Zarautz and I’m 17 years old. I love swimming, actually, I do it everyday, from Monday to Friday. I am in a team, and I have good friends there. I also love surfing and everything that it is done in the water. Therefore, people often tell me that I am a fish or something.

To continue, I like to be with stupid people to do and say stupid things that make laugh me till I cant breathe. I am stupid, the world is stupid. I love to laugh about silly things, things that don’t have any sense. I really love watching films, and my favourite film is “Chaos”. The main character is the one that appears in “transporter”, I don’t know his name, but I don’t care. My favourite actor is Rowan Atkinson, he is the single person in the world that makes me laugh with a little move of his face.

That is my description. If you want to visit the best town with the most stupid boy, just come and meet one of my brothers.

I am not ready

I am seventeen, so next year I will be able to vote. Nevertheless, I have decided not to vote, because I think I am not ready to do it. I don’t know very much about parties, left and right wing’s ideologies…

I know that politics are very important in our life, because in someway, we depend on them, and they depend on us. We live in a democracy, the best way of living nowadays. But democracy means that we can vote to choose the government we want. There is the problem; I don’t know who vote for.

All the parties spend the 70% of they money on campaigns. They give out pretty election posters, with ingenious slogans in order to persuade people. I don’t want to be one of them. It seems that always wins the party that spends more money on the campaign, are we so easy to persuade?

Yes, I think so. We are being persuaded all the time. The advertisements are an example of that. Because of that reason, I have decided not to vote until I am ready, or I think I am ready not to be persuaded.

STRUGGLING

It was the night of 24th December. I was very nervous, I wanted to open the box and see what I asked, a Game Boy Advance SP. I opened the box thinking that it was a watch, but it wasn’t! I was astonished.

Every 24th of December all kids sing Christmas carols home by home, and they get money for it. My brother used to go to great lengths to get a lot of money. I was a bit ashamed of singing to strangers, so I used to do it half- heartedly. My brother used to get one hundred euros, and me, I had never got more than forty five.

That 24th I woke up thinking that I was going to do the same of all 24th of December: sing a bit and get my thirty euros. When I was having breakfast, my mother told me: I know that you want the new Game Boy, but you will have to get eighty euros if you want to receive it. I felt disappointed, why did my mother wanted me to get eighty euros? That day I struggled to get that amount of money, but I only got sixty. I hadn’t get eighty, so I knew I wasn’t going to be given the Game Boy.

Unexpectedly, I received it, why? I think because my mother saw that I really struggled to get that amount of money. My mother didn’t want me to get eighty euros, she wanted to see me fighting to get what I wanted, that’s why I received the present.
