HOW CAN I BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Being environmentally friendly means having a lifestyle that are better for the environment.Its all about taking small steps to make this planet a better place for our next generations.

Be eco-friendly in the bathroom:

• Turn the tap off when brushing your teeth.
• Have quick, refreshing showers instead of water wasting bath

Think energy savings:

• Turn off the light whenever you leave the room, even if you are going to go back in a couple of minutes.
• Don’t have unnecessary energy running when you won’t use or need it. Switch off that CD player, and limit your TV 
• Turn off the computer when not in use.
• Keep radiators off when it's not terribly cold.

Think about what you throw away and what you could use more than once. 

• Reduce the amount of waste that is being produced, use things more than once, and give things to others that you don’t want any more.
• Reuse things that can be used more than once
• Recycle more. Paper, cardboard and cards can be made into something new. Put them into your recycling bin

Plant trees.

• They keep the land from eroding, they clean the air, they provide shelter for animals.

Use fewer chemicals.

• Use alternative cleaning solutions.
• Replace shampoos, conditioners and soaps with natural versions. Your body will thank you, too.

Never dump hazardous waste materials down the drain or into the grass.

• Paint, motor oil, ammonia, and other strong chemical solutions should not be dumped down the drain because they'll seep into the groundwater.

Change that light bulb

• we know they’d be replacing it with a CFL, or “compact fluorescent light.” Like most eco-friendly gadgets, they’re more expensive up front , but they use a quarter of the energy and last 10 times longer

Hi everyone! 

We are finishing the second terms and now I am veeery nervous because there are a lot of exams to do yet.

But anyway,that's my business! This is one expression that I have learned this term I have also learned more things like the past perfect tense or a lot of weird vocabulary that I didn't know, I learned the different misunderstandings that you can have when you travel abroad,I learned what does it mean ''gap'' hhaha it's very important this word for me because it is the typical word that you learn and you will never forget haha.I learned the different types of agricultural landscapes in Geography,this part of the term was the most  boring because I don't know it's something that you must know and it was a little bit boring but a good point of that unit was learn the names of different types of fish,animals or crops,as well as in English that we have learned the types of crimes and criminals; but the best part of this term in Geography was the unit which was about forms of government,laws and the political system in Spain,because I love talking about these things...I don't know haha I think that are really interesting. In Physical Educatiton we have learned how to do acrosport and how to play badminton,I really love playing badminton!

In English and Geography we read a book about Marco Polo's and Roald Amundsen's journeys,it was interesenting know about the lifestyle of those years; we also did a project about a country,I chose New Zealand and I learn a lot of this country,for example that is part of an association called ''Commonwealth'' or the main sports there like rugby. I think that it will be really funny and enjoyable if we do for the nest term a videoclip in which we show the best parts of the other terms and pictures about us.It will be great...but it's just a suggestion!

I think that I do a good job this term and that I did my best effort, but I can improve more in different skills like vocabulary.But they were a good and funny months hahaha because Cristina's and Teresa's classes are pretty funny and enjoyable because we learn things but without the same techniques like 'open the book page 37 and copy that vocabulary' and the way they teach it's great and we learn new things everyday.

Hope the next term will be better than this was!

AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE. GEOGRAPHY

AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE

This picture is  a landscape from Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain. It lies on the south bank of the Ebro River

You can see clearly that is an agricultural landscape because as the definition that Teresa gave us,it's land that has over time been transformed by human beings and by farming activities ir order to obtain products from nature.

Let's talk about the different characteristics of its physical factors; Zaragoza it's formed by valleys, mountain ranges and cliffs because of the Prepyrenees (Moncayo). Its climate is a Continental one,that is characterised of regular precipitations and high temperatures throughout the year as you can see bellow: 

Now we are going to talk about the plots,as you know the plots can vary in size, in this case some are quite big because you can't see the end of them. They are enclosed fields because are irregular plots separated by fences and roads of that village.

The farming system that is used here, is monoculture system, in which each farmer grow a single crop in his plot/s. Here in Zaragoza the main crops to grow are: cereals like corn and fruit trees like orange,tangerine,peach,lemon and apple trees.

All of these crops are crops that grow by the method of irrigation  in which a controlled amount of water is supplied to plants at regular intervals for agriculture; using  irrigation sprinklers. It is also intensive agriculture that happens in densely populated areas and in which farmers use fertilisers and machinery, the aim of this type of agriculture is to make the productivity higher.
