Vegan - For the People - For the Planet - For the Animals...What is your choice?

Hello everyone! We saw this video at school and we thought we'd share it with you to discuss the problems facing our planet ! is there a way to save the world that is hosting us?
G&G








I agree with the first part of this video. I agree with the idea that it is important to recycle because the earth's resources are limited and we must share then   with future generations. I think it's important to not pollute  with harmful products the earth, the air and the water, because by doing so, we safeguard our health as well as the planet! Today we live in a world dominated by the  consumerism, we must learn to save it! It is good to be careful about energy consumption, sometimes the small gestures seem unnecessary, but  those  small things, often overlooked by all, that can save the world! For this reason we must turn off the lights or close the tap when not in use! It is equally important to not exaggerate in the purchase of food! We must remember that while one part of the world suffers from hunger, the other runs the risk of diseases such as obesity! They are very common in affluent countries cardiovascular disease and cancer... that if at  the beginning  were rare events, nowadays are becoming more common... and  surely are closely linked to our diet! I think it is necessary to have a balanced diet! That includes lots of fruits and vegetables, but that does not exclude meat, fish, milk and eggs!! Humans have always been nourished by these foods and they  have  always been an omnivorous animals! I do not judge those who decide to be vegan, but I think that to save the world it is not necessary to abandon the many flavors that fill our tables!

Now I'm going to talk about the possible solutions: what can we do to stop this? 
About the production of energy I think that the country has an important role: it can produce energy through nuclear power plants (in this period we know how much they are danger) or through renewable energy sources like the sun or the wind and they are certainly not lacking in our beautiful country!
An other way to help the planet is: recycling.
Sometimes, when we use something, we throw it in the fire and it’s not a positive thing: in fact we must get used to do the differentiated waste disposal so that we try to recycle that thing and to use it again!
So we must learn that everything is precious and we must not waste anything. We must commit ourselves so that we could live in a cleaner society!

Our interests and our passions

Hello everyone :) We are two girls and we attend the secondary school! we like being together and chatting with people, so we decided to publish our interests and our passions to be able to discuss with you all and to have a mutual exchange of ideas. We are two very different girls, with as many different interests (as you could see!!!) but at the same time we have learned to be friends because it is the diversity that makes the world beautiful!!! 
G & G








Sport is my passion. I practiced volleyball since I was 6 years old till 3 years ago and I think that it was so important for me because thanks to it I grew up and I became less shy. Moreover I knew a lot of people that now I know very well and I agree with them… So it’s important to socialize and to make friends. 

I said that I like sport: well, for some years my interess is football. Since I saw juve playing ( my favourite football team ) I understood that football is for me!



I follow my team every week and the championship too, even the champions league matchs!!!! And every year, I take the opportunity to go watching my Juve in Cagliari and every time it’s a big emotion!
I have another passion: the passion for rock music! Maybe it’s thanks to my brother Stefano, who made me realize how much this music had a meaning. 

I think that groups like Guns’N’Roses, Queen, Led Zeppelin , Ac/dc etc made rock story! Each time it’is a unique experience to listen to these songs and to sing at the top of one’s voice! 
Unfortunately, today the people tend to underestimate the actual text of a song to give importance to the melody or lyrics that have not logical meaning.

I've always been a quiet girl! I like to relax me by reading a good book! Many consider to read a boring task, or closely linked to school! Not so! I love reading, because I can visit through the books the different worlds and cultures that otherwise I would not ever get the chance to know. With the books I can try so many different emotions, and I can fly my imagination without limits! Because I am mistress of my thoughts! Instead, this can not happen when you watch the television!


I read all kinds of books, often ones that my mother recommend me because she shares this passion with me!

I like to travel, in Italy and abroad. 
My dream would be to go around the world, to discover the colors, smells, sounds and culture of every nation! 
I would like to visit the Far East, so geographically distant from us, but closer together thanks the globalization. I am fascinated by India, so different and complicated to form a world apart. And then Egypt and its ancient history. I've always wanted to travel and finally I have the opportunity to get to know a country and its language, the country where it says that everything is possible! 
United States of America!

A significant film for us young!




SPAEK


Today unfortunately brutal actions has made especially by adolescents because being an adolescent is very difficult.
At school we saw a film where there was an example of this: the protagonist was Melinda Sordino, a girl who is fourteen years old that was raped by Andy Evans. We think that today these problems should never happen, although unfortunately these things happen in adolescence because teenagers are too irresponsible.
Exactly for this reason Melinda withdrew into herself and she could not discuss about her problem with her parents and her friends: so she was in trouble to communicate with the other people.
We really liked this movie: it has given us so many emotions and it made us  reflect about the drama of the story. The basic theme of the film, underscored by the title itself, is the importance of communication during the critical age of the adolescence. Maybe if Melinda had spoken with someone of her great and terrible secret, she could have exorcised and get rid of the burden of violence. For Melinda the sexual violence affected on her character.  
The inability to express themselves and communicate is a big problem for young people, especially the relationship with the adults who seem to live in a world completely different from ours. This also implies a state of solitude.
