News. What stops us from building very high skyscrapers?
There are only two problems that humans can't prevent 100% when building a skyscraper.
The first one is the wind, wind is not the same at ground level than at more than 300m. What a gentle breeze can be at ground level at very high altitudes. Many buildings in very popular and famous cities have been too exposed to wind, and there has been high risks for the skyscrapers to collapse. That's why many architects without saying anything to anyone construct security objects such as pendulums or metals to protect the upper partform wind.
However, for example, the highest skyscraper in the world is in Dubai, it's name is Burj Khalifa Tower and it is 1km high. This tower has a unique structure and solution, it is " Y " shaped, the architect says that the key is to have a very big and strong base and it has to be still big at it's half size, in this case 500m.
Seconldy, there is another problem. Elevators. It is impossible to construct a 1km elevator, any winch in the world can support a cable of more than half a kilometre, that's the true problem of the engineers or the architects on those super structures.

My World
In this text I will talk about the possitive aspeects of living in a city, and in the countryside. Then, I will compare them and chose the option that best fits me.
In general, cities are much better for teenagers and young people, than for older people. In a city, you have shops next to your house, you can go out with your friends.

Book v.s. Film
There are many differences between the book and the film version, in the following text I will tell all the differences.
To start with, the film is recorded in a modern cities for example, the movie stars such as the phone and the cars. The film is more a comedy of the true story, and makes fun of gangs and Romeo's stupid love.
Afer all, I think that the film is very bad, boaring and cheap. I think it should have more meat, and it should be recorded in a better way.
In the other side, the book was writen by Shakespeare many years ago and in old english. But, it narrates the true story changing a litle bit the towns and the stars character.

My trip to Berlin
22nd of April
I woke up at the same hour I would In a normal school day. I arrived early to the school just in case I lost the bus or I forgot something in home. Some of my friends were already there.
We spent more than five hours traveling, and finally we arrived to Berlin. It was raining so we weren't as happy as we were when the plane took off.
Having just arrived to the St Cristopher's Hostel we left the baggage in our rooms and we started the activities that the teachers had planed for us that afternoon.
23rd of April
This day is when we really started our touristic trip, we went to visit a museum. After having lunch, we went to another museum and we went to super to a very bad restaurant, what I didn't know is that we would go everyday.
In our room we were Miquel, Adrià, Luis, Raul and me.We laughed a lot, specially because Adri had already lost the room card.
24rd of April
This day was exactly the same as the 23rd of April, with only a difference, we had a little bit more of free time and we ate in the Subway, instead of the McDonald's.
25th of April
Certainly my favorite day, we had free time nearly all day long, I bought a pair of shoes in a skate shop called " Titus". My friends bought some t-shirts and some sweaters as well. I bought some souvenirs for my parents because they had never been in Berlin. In fact, it's the only European capital that they haven't visited yet.
26th of April
We woke up happier than all the other days because we had free time all the morning, because it was the last day in Berlin so the teachers gave us more freedom to do what we want. We went to the airport at 2:00 o'clock and we got our flight to Barcelona, I was very tired so I slept in the plane and half of the time in the bus.
After all, I think this trip has been very interesting and we have learned somethings, but we should have had more free time, and visited less museums, which were very boring, but this doesn't take, that we learned new things.

What's making duck sounds in the ocean?
SOURCE
Scientists have been trying to disccover a type of noise that can be heard at the bottom of the ocean since 1960.
At the beginning scientists thought that noise was made by a military object in the depths of the ocean, after a few years of investigation they discovered that the noise appeared each October and disappeared in December, and it can only be heard in the Antarctica.
With that information in their hands they started to realize that the sound was emited by an animal, but they didn't know what animal could make that huge ultra-sound noise that can be heard a few kilometres away.

PROTECTING SHIP WRECKS
Ship wrecks have also been pretoected from "treasure hunters" in British territory, now they are being exploded because of the technology advancement.
Before the associations that defended this pieces of history, didn't have too worry about robatories. However, as I said before nowadays technology makes it easy to arrive at the bottom of the sea, were the ship wrecks are situated, the only thing you need to have is a bit of money to buy the necessary equipment.
For example, in this image you can see a boat that sank in 1978, it's near the British coast and it has been in perfect state until 2009, a grup of treasure hunters stoled everything they could leaving the boat in very bad conditions.
In my opinion, I think shipwrecks should be protected because they are very valuable and give historians clues about how the people sailed before, and what methods they did when the weather conditions were bad.
