Pobre riqueza

Antes pensaba que ser rica sería un sueño hecho realidad. Lo que yo valoraba, ahora ya no le doy importancia. Siempre tengo lo que quiero. Me lo puedo permitir todo, gracias a la riqueza de mi marido.

Mi vida era muy distinta:
A los tres años, mi familia se mudó a los barrios pobres de París; nos habían desahuciado. En aquel entonces, yo era una niña feliz, no era consciente de lo que estaba sucediendo. Pero a medida que iba pasando el tiempo me daba cuenta de que nuestra situación económica y social era cada vez peor. Mi padre llegaba cada noche borracho ya que no tenía trabajo y se pasaba todo el día en el bar. Mi madre lloraba y lloraba, el pilar de la familia se iba desmoronando, ya no podía más. Yo, a la fuerza, tuve que madurar muy rápidamente, a los dieciséis años decidí trabajar para intentar remontar a la familia, pero mis intentos fueron frustrados. Todas las mañanas, de camino al trabajo, pasaba por los barrios lujosos de París, ver tanta riqueza me provocaba una sensación indescriptible, yo quería aspirar a ser como ellos, un sueño que pensé que nunca se iba a convertir en realidad.
Ahora, casada con un millonario, madre de tres hijos y con una gran estabilidad, tanto económica como social, veo las cosas de distinta forma. "Cuando lo extraordinario se convierte en habitual, deja de ser extraordinario".

Face-to-face communication

Nowadays people are used to making use of technology tools to communicate to other people because it's faster and easier than talking face-to-face; nevertheless we believe in real communication. As in a near future this type of communication could have some negative consequences.

First of all, we believe that if technology tools were more controlled, people wouldn't be liars, they would say always the truth. In addition, people feel better because they think that they are protected by the screen, but they aren't. For that reason people insult and bully others.

Secondly, we reckon that talking face-to-face is comfortable and it transmits security; moreover you can always be yourself and eventually it's more complicated to be confused talking face-to-face than talking via internet of using technologic tools.

In short, we think that talking face-to-face is better than other types of communication like Whatsapp of Facebook.

Animals


At the moment, it is legal to use animals for medical research, although there are arguments both for and against this practice.

One of the arguments for using animals for medical research is that scientists can test new drugs or vaccines before using them with humans. In addition, lots of laboratoires do many experiments with animals, so the medical science can develop.

On the other hand, there is a moral problem because nowadays thousands of animals die every second due to medical research. And it's very exaggerated.

To sum up, I am for and against using animals for medical research. I believe that if it continues, scientists may discover a lot of treatments for most illnesses that exist; nevertheless, we are going to kill millions of animals every second.

Help!


Dear Joana,

I'm writing because I've got a problem, I don't know what to do.

Three months ago, Quim introduced me his friend Jack. My first impression was that he was a nice man, and he had a good character, he was a real gentleman, I thought that we had a lot in common.

Firstly, he asked me to go out, but only as friends. We went to a restaurant, a bar... Then, I started to feel that we were more than friends. There our relationship started.

Now, two months  later, my feelings for him don't exist, I know that he's a good and romantic guy, but I think it's better to split up with him. I don't get on well with him.

I need advice, help me please. What do you think I should do?

Your best friend, Alba
