the environment



The topic about the protecting the environment is much discussed today. Now, no one can complain of not having information about this.
Personally, I consider myself as a Green-in-Between, because I try to help to the environment from what is within my reach, but sometimes in this world is difficult because the most things around us can be pollutants in some way. I always try to do little things to help, like turn off the lights when I don’t need it, or don’t flushing the water, or simply don’t throw trash on the ground. Also, I usually recycling bottles, because me and my mom recollect them and later we carry the bottles to the recycling point of the supermarket. About the transportation, my bike isn’t in good conditions so I can’t use it, and but if I could use it anyway I could not transport me to the university because I would take a long time to coming there.
Actually, I don´t join any eco-organizations, because I don’t have a lot of time or money, but I sometimes I’ve thinking in join a organization that it care about the environment, or maybe about animals, because this problems really concern me.
I think that we must take care about our planet, because it’s the place where we live in and first, we should worry about the education about care the environment, because the new generations are a important part in the future of the world, anyway, the kids are more concerned, so I think the companies are the ones who have more power to do something about. Also, we should try to keep our nonrenewable resources, don’t use polluting products, use a paper bags, promote the use of non-polluting means of transport, and especially, recycling.
I think, now we have the future in the world in our hands, so we try to make something to help, because if all the people do something, we could build a better world for future generations, because this it’s not the world that we received.

Books and literature


Currently, I think that the literature is very important in the lives of the people, because it helps you to maintains concentration in something, learn about spelling and in the case of childrens it helps them to develop the imagination.
I personally read books from time to time, because between so many text to read to the university and the short time that I have left to rest I don’t have a lot of time to enjoy a good book and sometimes I’m tired of read, so I don’t know how many books I read this year, but about the books that I choose to read I don’t read anyone but when I was a child I read so many books, not only the books that are required to read in the school, also I read other books by myself, because I love to read.
I prefer read books about real facts, because it’s bring you near to the reality, because the fiction it seems boring to me and I can't maintain the concentration in those books, but I like the book of mystery, because are interesting until the end of the history.
Really, I don’t have a favorite writer, but I have a favorite book, that it’s named “La fiesta Del Chivo” by Mario Vargas Llosa and It’s the last book that I read, so I really enjoy it, but it have a lot of pages, so it takes me like a month ends to read it. The history it’s about a dictator named Rafael Trujillo of República Dominicana , his murder and their consequences. This book tell the inner circle of this man, and betrayal that he committed to his closest people, and how this are transforms in revenge, and finally tell about the murder of this dictator.
I really like this book, because despite that it’s have fiction elements, it have parts of historic elements because it’s an example of the crimes that were committed in times of dictator ship in latin American and it’s a form to remember the history of the continent. So I totally recommend it and if you don’t like read, you can watch the movie of this interesting book.
