Globalization: A part of everyday life.

That thing called: Globalization!

The aim of this article it's to inform about the damage that globalization is doing to the world.
Nowadays the government and the general public are talking way too much about globalization and its positives and negatives things, and wheter it is an advance for the humanity or otherwise, if it is a step backwards.In the following paragraphs you would find a general idea of the side effects of this phenomenon.

One of the most importants side effects is the exploit of the row materials from developing or 3rd world countries. There's a great divide between those who have and those who have not. The 3rd world countries are grossly underpaid for indigenous row materials, and when they import the manufactured goods they have to pay a high price so they hardly can make a profit, so they go into debt. They have to ask for loans to the developed countries, wich they cannot return back.

Secondly, the crisis. The first sings appeared two years ago when overseas companies shut down and consequently a lot of people become unemployed. The people who have lost their job can't pay the bills neither the mortatges, they asked for loans to the banks, but they were refused by the bank as they are into red.So those who has become redundant and they are not entitled to the dole, can hardly eat and they almost lost their houses. There's a lot of people who is desperate, who would do anything to avoid going completly under.

In addition to that, the levels of immigrants has raised incredibly in the past two years. Immigrants come to the develope countries looking for a better life, getting a well-paid job, dreaming about buying or renting a house and having a new life with their families, However when they get to the “rich and powerful countries” they find themselves without money, with a job where they are exploited and being hardly paid and in the worst cases, they have to sleep in the street in sick conditions. This raisement of population turns to an increasement of the dole and do not help to make the economy's recession to stop.

Finally,The supposed solution.The government is going to inject bilions into the economy, as well as lunch public employment schemes like jobs in the department of defence, enviroment and infrastructure, as a means to create employment, Also studying ways to create more helps to the families in matters of feeding and money.

All of this leads me tho the conclusion that consideration should be given to the side effects of the globalization as they are quite serious because if the economy doesn't pick up quickly the country could be ruined. However the economists forecast that in two years situation will turn into normal if the government starts working from now.

La juventud está completamente malgastada.

How can we be

teenagers/youth) the way we

are?

Always eating the same damn thing, Spending our time on the phone or on the computer. Always complaining about supid things. Wanting everything and RIGHT now . Always asking for more . Saying "I love you" to anybody. Spending our lives outside. Notice something and regret that we didn't think about it sooner . Especially do not work, Supply a minimum of effort or sometimes none. Watch the clock every 30 seconds, sleeping . Being in trouble for nothing, but always for the same nothing . Want this, want that, but especially want Him/Her* Look at the others like we were better and laugh . DO NOT hear about parents. Always watching this stupid show on TV, every single day at the same hour . Opening our planner and always closing it up immediatly. Always push things away to the next day. Looking at ourselves in a mirror every minute and hating the way we look because we are not "fit"Beautiful" enough. Not Listening to anybody.Betraying our loved ones.Makin people feel miserable because they are not the same we are. Similar conversations for ever arriving at the same point . A need to hang on any mark of affection, never sincere, conccurence absolved. It is always better elsewhere, pure and simple dissatisfaction . We are contradictory, The happiness is derisory, and the smiles don't last for very long.

Is that truly the life we want?

Hoy en dia la juventud extiende cheques que su cuerpo no puede pagar, estamos demasiado preocupados por nuestro aspecto que por nuestro conocimiento o personalidad, es más importante tener alguien a quien criticar que preocuparnos de como somos nosotros realmente, tenemos un móvil que funciona perfectamente, que tiene lo necesario y más, pero queremos el que acaba de salir en la televisión y a los dos minutos de comprarlo ya estamos pensando en cual compraremos después. La ropa "pasa de moda" cada mes, abrimos el armario y decimos "no tengo que ponerme!" cuando en realidad el armario esta a rebosar, nos miramos al espejo y nos odiamos a nosotros mismos por no parecernos ni un apice a la última top model de la revista "In Touch" o "Cuore", no disfrutamos de las pequeñas cosas como son salir para hablar y no hacer nada o compartir unas risas con aquellos que te importan.

A lo largo del tiempo me he dado cuenta que si acabas en el hospital por una intoxicación etilica estás más cerca de ser el/la más popular del grupo que de ser una persona lamentable, que si no sales cada fin de semana de fiesta ya no eres "guay" y te has convertido en un "aburrido".

Hasta dónde vamos a llegar? las niña de 13 años viven lo que las de 15 deberían estar haciendo y las de 15 quieren ser como las de 18, y llega un punto en el que no sabes si hablas con un niño o con un adolescente porque la vida es demasiado cliché.

Y esto de quien se supone que es culpa? de la globalización? de la televisión? de la educación?

De nosotros mismos, por olvidarnos de lo que realmente importa y por preocuparnos por mierda que solamente nos lleva al fracaso.

The smell of your skin lingers on me now...♥

Everything started with a kiss, and ended with a kiss.You hold me like you'll never let me go, but we both know this is a goodbye, we can't pretend this can work out because we know it can't, we are miles appart.

I told you i was tired of hiding,I told you I was tired of being used, used by you, i told you i didn't want to be your friend with benefits, not anymore.Being your summer romance was beautiful and nice,but when summer ends it's me who's feeling down,when summer ends it's me who's counting down the days to be with you again.You told me you've never used me,just scared of being commited to somebody,and well..i have you say i trust you, because im also scared...scared of being blind, blinded by you.We didn't need a word, you knew you just had to kiss me to have me,it's amazing how you exactly know what i want, how you know im yours, and i will always be.The nights spent with you weren't enough, not enough to tell you the way i feel, not enough to tell you all the things i wanted to say, not enough to kiss you all the times i wanted to.This is the last night, we all go out for dinner, you look at me secretly, nobody else knows about you and me, i find your eyes we cross sights,we share smiles, you say things that anybody else but me can understand, we get into the bar, we order different things just to have an excuse to share our glass with each other, you look at me and start saying jokes just to make me laugh and i laughed so hard i cried. We get into the campsite, just near to the roundabout where we first kissed, you tell me: "Ágata,you look beautifull tonight" i cant even say a word, just smile and look you directly to your eyes, i sat next to you and you hold my hand, there's no need to say a word, we both know enough.The time goes by, we know its not gonna stop, the end is almost here,i start crying, you tell me: "Smile babe, i want to see the shine in your eyes for the last time" but every word you say makes me cry even harder, you hold me and kiss me and the last thing you said was: I love you, this is not a goodbye this is a see you later"

Everything started and ended with a kiss...

¿Que nos hace humanos? La posibilidad de realizar un sueño.

Una vez Eleanor Roosevelt dijo: "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." lo que traducido al español vendría a ser: "Nadie puede hacerte sentir inferior sin tu consentimiento".

Hemos nacido para hacer algo, no estamos aquí por casualidad, cada segundo de nuestras vidas cuenta, cada acción, cada palabra, incluso el ruido de nuestra respiración significa algo.
Ahora mismo hay 6.751.643.600 personas en el mundo, algunas están corriendo asustadas, otras vuelven o se van de su casa o de su ciudad, otras mienten para conseguir pasar el dia a dia, mientras que otras encaran a la verdad. Seis billones de personas en el mundo, seis billones de almas que estan aquí por algun motivo, aunque solo sea hacer feliz a otra persona de esas 6.751.643.600.
Con todo esto quiero decir, que no importa si al final del día no cumples las expectativas de los demás, no importa si no lográs lo que los demás esperaban que lograrás, da igual si te dicen que eres un perdedor, que te juzguen, que piensen que eres peor o inferior porque no has conseguido llegar a dónde los demás han llegado, porque de 6.751.643.600 personas tú tienes un destino, sueños por cumplir, un sitio al que llegar, y no importa cuanto tardes en llegar a él, porque nadie puede quitarte el puesto que tú y solo tú debes ocupar en este mundo. No estamos predestinados ha hacer lo que la mayoria hace, porque en el momento que empezamos ha hacer las cosas porque los demás te dicen que es lo que se debe hacer, perdemos la individualidad que nos hace especiales en este inmenso lugar que es el mundo.
Así que pase lo que pase, sean cuales sean tus sueños, metas o inquietudes, nunca, nunca te rindas, porque nadie puede quitarte lo que te ha sido asignado, aunque seamos nosotros mismos los que nos asignamos esos retos, nadie absolutamente nadie puede decirte que no eres capaz de alcanzar tus objetivos.

Cree en ti mismo y en tus capacidades, porque si no lo haces tu, quien lo hará?

Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.

Have you ever felt so lost that you had to come back where you where coming from step by step?
I've had, and sometimes iI feel like I am getting lost again.
There are days that I wake up and as the time goes by, I feel like I am losing something and that
feeling seems to start over and over again everyday.
I always had to be at the top of all the expectations that everyone had made for me, and each time
I failed, I felt like my world was crashing down and all I could do was smile and say: "hey don't worry I'll beat it the next time",while I was tearing myself for not being good enough, blaming myself for not being able to get my goal and knowing the others were going to judge me for being a loser.
Now that I am what everyone calls an adult, the only one I'm afraid of dissapoint it's me, because I know I can be my worst enemy and my hardest boss.
I would lie if I say that I don't care about what they say, because everybody cares about what the other people think, it is something we learn since we are kiddos and we keep until we die.
Even when we are dying we are worried about the people who could be thinking: What you could have been in the past if you had chosen another way or decision and who you really are at the present moment.
But now I'm done with this, I'll stop worrying about what the general people think, and just try to become who I decide to be, because at the end of it all, I am the only one who's going to live my life, and I am going to live it the way I want.

Tenia dieciseis años y la vida en los labios.

La amistad se trata de compartir los buenos y malos momentos sin importar cuanto tiempo inviertas en ello.

-No tienes ni un centimo en los bolsillos, la nevera está vacía, solo quedan botellines de cerveza medio vacíos encima de la mesa y el suelo está pegajoso por culpa de los restos de comida, se puede saber que ha ocurrido?

-Tequila, mucho tequila y limón

-Y no te queda nada?

-No

-y entonces que?

-Entonces nada, siempre me quedará el alcohol,el sexo y el rock and roll.

-y de eso se puede vivir?

-oh pues claro, en la vida te dicen que aunque no tengas nada, sonrie y todo saldrá bien. Bueno lo cierto es que la vida es una putada y yo me he cansado de sonreirle.

-Y por eso estás borracha?

- haha, pues claro que no, yo no bebo para ahogar las penas

-No entiendo, entonces porque bebes?

-Porque en el cielo no hay alcohol.

-Puedo acompañarte entonces?

-Depende, porque bebes tu?

- Porque el espejo me escupe lo que soy cada mañana.

- hahaha el tequila se bebe de golpe y sin respirar, bienvenida al club de los inconformistas.

Incluso cuando no sé ni lo que hago, eres capaz de hacerme compañia :)
I love you, S.

British Council CAE examination

5:45 a.m el despertador suena, pero la verdad llevo horas despierta, me levanto.

7:00 a.m Salgo de casa, dirección a la estación de tren.

8:00 a.m ya estoy en el tren, quedan 45 minutos para llegar y los nervios ya me machan el estomago.

9:00 a.m llego a la estación de hospitalet, y desde lejos ya se puede ver la enorme concentración de personas delante de las puertas de la Farga.

Más de 5.800 personas compartiendo el mismo sentimiento de nerviosismo que se palpaba en el ambiente.

Entramos en la sala y una voz de mujer dice:

"Welcome to the British Council CAE examination, thanks for coming. Now please, sit down and leave your stationary under the table."

Automaticamente todo el mundo le hace caso, el sonido es ensordecedor.

La voz suena otra vez:

"Please candidates sit down the exam is about to start in five minutes"

"Now please leave ur ID and your Statement over the table in order to help the invigilators to check your indentity and the information written in the exam"

Todas Las mesas estan colocadas en rigurosa linea recta, cada cinco mesas un vigilante, que revisa todos los datos del "Statement".

La voz otra vez:

"Okay Candidates, now you are going to be given the Reading test, Please supervisors delivery the exams"

Los Supervisores entregan fila por fila los examenes y una hoja de respuestas.

"Now candidates, please sign the answer sheet and do not open the booklet sheet until you are told to do so"

Incluso el rozar de los bolis en el papel re-suena.

La mujer lee las instrucciones en voz alta y finaliza diciendo:

"It is 9:30 a.m by my watch, you have an hour and a half to complete the exam, you may start now, good luck"

Todos los candidatos abrimos el examen a la vez y suena como si el viento ubiera hecho volar la vela de un barco.

10:30 a.m "You have 30 minutes left, you may not leave the room from now and then"

Todos nos apresuramos a transferir las respuestas a la hoja de respuestas,ya que si no lo hacemos, nuestro examen no será corregido.

11:00 a.m "Time up, stop writting candidates. Please supervisors, collect the exams"

Todos salimos de la sala para tomar un breve descanso, mucha gente llora, otros incluso vomitan por culpa de los nervios, Los demás hacen cola para comprar bebidas y algo para comer.

11:20 a.m Volvemos a entrar.

"Candidates, the Writting test is about to start in 5 minutes, sit down and wait for your exam you may complete this exam in PEN not PENCIL as you have done in the reading test, you may use tipex if you wish, but not make an abuse of it"

11:25 a.m Repite lo mismo que en el examen anterior, y nos reparten los examenes. Dos composiciones de 280 palabras cada una, obligatoria: Proposal opcional (en mi caso) Article.

12:30 a.m "You have now 30 minutes left, do not leave the room"

Corriendo acabamos el examen, y esperamos a que recojan el examen para poder salir, la atmosfera es asfixiante, entre los nervios y el calor.

12:45 a.m "The Grammar in use exam should be done in PENCIL and you must transfer your answers to the answer sheet in order to be qualified, you have now 1h15min to complete the exam, good luck candidates"

Este es más complicado que los anteriores, y se nota por el sonido de los lapizes repicando en las mesas con la intencion de que con esos golpecitos te venga la respuesta a la cabeza, pero nada, en la tierra no hay milagros.

13:45 p.m "You have now 15 minutes left, please transfer your answers to the answer sheet, you may stay in your seats, do not leave the room"

14:00 p.m "Time up, please stop writting, stop writting. Supervisors, collect the exams"

Ahora los nervios ya no son tan visibles, solo queda una parte del examen, y apesar de ser una parte decisiva, la calma o la rutina ya han tomado presencia.

14:15 p.m Nos han dividido en dos grupos, L1 y L2, yo estoy en el primero. Entramos y la mujer dice "Candidates, the Listening test is going to be done upstairs, you may find your room using your candidate number"

Bueno mi numero de candidata 5830, no es de esperar que me toque la ultima habitación, ya que soy la última candidata. Exacto, Candidate 5830 L1 Room 6.

"Now put the earphones on and wait for the instructions"

Ahora la voz de mujer a cambiado a una grabación con voz masculina, profunda y clara.

Nos da las instrucciones para el listening y empieza el examen.

15:00 p.m "Time up, stop writting, this is the end of the CAE Exam, thank you for coming, and don't forget any of your belongings here, the British Council won't be responsible of any object lost"

Se acabó.

Fingers Crossed (yn)

Tengo que decir que cuando hice el First Certificate Exam (FCE), habían 3.600 personas, pero al ser la primera vez que realizaba un examen de tal importancia, no me percate de practicamente nada, y está vez he conseguido grabar todos y cada uno de los detalles del dia.
