MY NEIGHBOURHOOD

    My neighbourhood is a bit noisy. I live in Juan Calzada and this is the main street of Gernika, so lots of cars and people pass from here. I hate the car horns and the noise of the engines. I don't either like when people shout or talk loudly because you hear everything. In my neighbourhood there are also lots of bars, so at Friday and Saturday nights there is a lot of noise. You here the noise of the people or the loud music that the bars put. This noises affect my life. Sometimes is difficult for me to study or simply I can't hear well the TV, and at Fridays and Saturdays I cannot sleep because of the music of the bars. It's a little bit stressful, but you get used to it. You cannot do nothing else.

DBH 2, Gold Uses

GOLD USES

Medals and Awards:

As a highly esteemed precious metal, gold makes a natural appearance in crowns, awards and religious statues. Because of its unparalleled beautiful qualities and rarity, gold is one of the highest status symbols. In everything from Academy Awards to Olympic medals, gold is recognized for its admirable qualities and it holds a permanent place of value in humanity's eyes.

Finances and Investing:

Because gold is so rare and highly valued, this precious metal makes a natural currency, and has for at least 6,000 years. The U.S. used to hold all its monetary currency to a gold standard, and since the turn of the millennium, gold value has been on the rise in the stock market. In an uncertain economy, gold has emerged as a possible financial staple.
BY: Magda Adam


Two ways of using gold are, in banking and for medals and awards.
The gold in banking is saved for reserves in a very large amount, specially in the U.S.A and in Turkey.
Gold is also used for medals and awards because of its unparalleled beautiful qualities and rarity and because it is one of the highest status symbols.
BY: Paula Aldana

USES OF GOLD
    
     Apart from the uses of gold that we have seen in the book, we use gold in another ways:

- Air bags
               Air bags, which are installed in over 30 million cars worldwide, have gold plated electrical contacts to ensure that the                                        safety devices work when necessary.
- Telescopes
                     In telescopes -like the Hubble- it has been used as a coating for gold to increase its resistance to corrosion and electrical                                connections.
BY: Maria Amezaga

  Investment
Gold is a safe haven in a crisis scenario. While traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, often fail in times of tension and instability of markets, gold has proven to improve the performance of portfolios, both in times of stability and financial instability during the past 5,000 years.

In addition, gold will always maintain its value through a wide range of economic scenarios and that is one reason why it is so attractive during an economic downturn
                                                                Research
Gold nanoparticles have the ability to absorb energy and to dissipate locally. Once in the brain, binds to toxic protein structures.

After the nanoparticulate be irradiated, they destroy the harmful protein.
BY: Ane Martín
Gold for many years it has been mixed with oils paintings and applied as decoration on Chinese ceramics.
BY: Stefan Nita

Gold Gilding and Gold Leaf


     Gold has the highest malleability of any metal. This enables gold to be beaten into sheets that are only a few millionths of an inch thick. These thin sheets, known as "gold leaf" can be applied over the irregular surfaces of picture frames, molding or furniture.

     Gold leaf is also used on the external and internal surfaces of buildings. This provides a durable and corrosion-resistant covering.

Medals and Awards:
    As a highly esteemed precious metal, gold makes a natural appearance in crowns, awards and religious statues. Because of its unparalleled beautiful qualities and rarity, gold is one of the highest status symbols. In everything from Academy Awards to Olympic medals, gold is recognized for its admirable qualities and it holds a permanent place of value in humanity's eyes.

BY: Sebastián Fernández

Worried person: Are mobile phones good for children under 12 years old?
Forum165: That is a very good question. There are advantages and disadvantages .
The good part. It is good because they start very early to understand the new technology and it make them write more fast on keypads. It is also good that it makes children smarter in the new technology.
The bad part. It can create addition and can make children to don't pay attention at classes and it can make them to don't study. Also, it can make them to don't move even move to communicate from one room to another.
Therefore, it doesn't exist any clear answer to that question.

DBH 2, Personal Experiences

MY EXPERIENCE
At Christmas 2011, my family and some friends went to London for 4 days. Everything was OK until my parents continued touring the city without me. My bad experience started when we entered a gift shop. The things there were very pretty: they had small Big Bens, T-shirts... With all this I got distracted and I didn't noticed that my family had left! So when I got bored, I started finding them but they weren't at the shop! I was very frightened and I decided to stay still in front of the door. I had waited 10 minutes when suddenly I saw my father running towards me. At that moment I started to cry because I was vey happy to see him.
At that trip I learned that you cannot be so scatterbrained, even if a little bit of fault was of my parents!
BY: Maria Amezaga

A great experience.
I have always wanted to go surfing and this summer I did it. I went to a surf course for a week.
The first day in the course was very easy. We only worked in the sand. The second day was a little bit more difficult. The rest of the days were more difficult, but it was fine because I met many people.
Surfing was a very great experience for me.
BY: Paula Aldana

 CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2


        The best film to see in a boring day. Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 is an animated film.
In some cinemas they put in 3D film, but it is a little bit more expensive. After Flint Lockwood and his friends save the world from the food storm in the first film. He relocates Flint, his friends, and the citizens of Swallow Falls to San Franjose, California. Unbeknownst to Flint, the FLDSMDFR survived the explosion and landed in the center of the island, and Chester is determined to find it. Chester invites Flint, his biggest fan, to work at Live Corp, where he meets Chester's assistant Barb, a talking orangutan with human intelligence. Six months later, Flint humiliates himself during a promotion ceremony when his invention, the "Celebrationator", explodes. Meanwhile, Chester is informed that his search-parties on the island have been attacked by monstrous cheeseburgers which are learning how to swim. Seemingly fearing the world's inevitable doom, Chester tasks Flint to find the FLDSMDFR and destroy it once and for all. Despite Chester's demands to keep the mission classified, Flint recruits his girlfriend, meteorologist Sam Sparks; her cameraman Manny; police officer Earl Devereaux; Steve, a monkey who communicates via a device on his chest; and "Chicken" Brent. Much to Flint's dismay, his father Tim joins the crew and they travel to Swallow Falls on his fishing boat. Cloudy with a change of meatballs 2 is a very interesting and exciting film. I recomend you to see.
