IMAGES OF BLACK REFLECT LACK OF HISTORICAL AWARENESS

The depiction of black people in Spanish and Catalan advertising and media would get phones rining off the hook in civil rights organisations across the US and the UK.
The African and South American people who came to Catalonia and Spain to have a better life feel discriminated when they see some adverts on TV. Adverts like conguitos and Cola-cao principally.

Children in Catalonia don't eat enough fruit. What until now was an intuition has been proved to be fact by a recent survey by the Fundació Dieta Mediterrània. The study, based on 2,561 choldren surveyed between the ages of eight and eleven in 20 Barcelona's schools, makes alarming reading.

According to the findings of the report some 22% and 15% respectively of the children in the study had never eaten tomato or an orange. IT'S SCARED!!!!

PARENTS MUST DECIDE ON TATOOS

The Generalitat have published a provisional paper due to be approved before the summer that will obligue under 16's to provide documentation proving parental consent if they want to get a tatoo, piercing or others. With the new law, these establishments must document what will happen during the operation.

A description of a place

"ELS AIGUAMOLLS DE L'EMPORDÀ"

Everytime I go to the "Aiguamolls de l'Empordà" I feel so free. It is a magic place where I can disconnected of all bad things I have in my mind; so it's a wonderful place! The "Aiguamolls" is a natural reserve next to the coast where you can find different kinds of birds. The most popular animal there is "La Cigonya Guita". It's a stork and the mascot of the park. In the midlle of this beautiful place there are also four old rise tower.

If you look around this place you can see fantastic views; in the east, there's the Mediterranean sea. If you look to the North you can see the large Pyrinees, it's great! Hainly when there is snow on top. The smell is fresh and without pollution and the sounds transmit relax to everyone who visits it.

The best thing about this place is the feeling that it envolves peace, serenety and freedom, a lot of freedom. I love the "Aiguamolls" :)

THE RESERCH PROJECT (Composition)

The research project is a hard work that is compulsory only in Catalonia. It IS about a topic which every student of second of Batxillerat can choose and it is worth like another any subject.

From my point of view, and I'm sure that a lot of other sudents who must do it feel like me, the reserch project is a unnecessary work that only helps to have more work moreover the all homework, exams and works that the teachers ask us. The "Generalitat de Catalunya" is the responsible of it and I can't understand why our autonoumus community is the only that takes part this project. Is the most unfair!

In conclusion the research paper is unnecessary. Every day more the department of educations of our country is getting crazy and they don't understand the students' lifestyle.
