Cristina's mind

My passion is travelling.Travel is one of those peak experiences that you can revisit in your mind for a lifetime.

I’m at the stage where I want to create my life around a few very important passions, travel being one of them. It is a priority for me. After many years of travel deprivation, I’m determined to experience the world and all of the wonders that are out there for exploring.I’m passionate about relishing whatever exhaustion, unpleasantness, or hardship is necessary to meet and commune with people whose cultures are very, very different from my own. My idea of a perfect night is hiking to a remote mountain village, conversing in sign language, stay with friends in remote locations...Traveling with my family or friends is way more fun than going alone. It also offers a form of protection. Pick pockets and common thieves are more likely to target you if you are alone. I have been in England, Finland, Scotland, France, Greece, Italy and Turkey, but my goal in life is visit every country on earth.

Smartphones.Is a good invention?

Nowadays, most of people have mobile phone (for not to say everyone). In my opinion, we must be careful, because smartphones have a lot of advantages but also a lot of disadvantages.
On the one hand, one of this advantages is that we have internet conexion everywhere, and we can communicate with our family, friends everyone that we want to do it. A further advantage is that we have the opportunity to take instant photos without the necessity of taking them with a good camera, because some smartphones have an amazing quality to take photos. Finally, other advantage is that when we have an emergency, smartphones are a good way to look for help, because the new technology has a lot of gadgets for emergencies.
On the other hand, sometimes smartphones can be addictive, because a lot of people say that they cannot live without mobile phones, and it is so sad.
Also, many people, when they are with family, friends... most of the time, they are looking at their mobile phones all of the time.
Another disadvantage is privacy. We must be careful because hackers exist, and tthey can do everything they want with our photos, videos, programs...etc.
In conclusion, mobile phones are a good way to stay informed with news, problems of the wrld, family, friends... but we also need to be careful with how we use them.

Finding a voice, introduce yourself:

Hello, my name is Cristina, but most people call me Cris.... I was born on January, 1997.I live in Jumilla, but now I live in Murcia. In Jumilla, I live with my mother and father, because my old brother lives in Murcia.For that, most of times I go to my brother's hause to have a lunch with him. My father  is a policeman, and my mother is a teacher in high school in my town.
 I am self-confident,  but sometimes I have too much confidence and it's not good for me. I love sports, like tennis, volleyball... and I love do ballet, too. I really like to watch football matchs with my father.
 I also love music. I can say music is my life. My favourite singer is Zahara, an Spanish indie singer.
I can play piano, (just a little).Back to myself, I am nterested in other languages, like Germany, French, Portuguese...and their cultures and social lives in their country. In my free time I  like to play do ballet, sleep, listen to music, and read. 

Cristina's mind

I regret that I love you so deeply, and still know that this relationship is no longer viable. I regret that I lie awake at night missing you so badly it physically hurts. I regret the dreams I have about holding your soft body close to mine. I regret this loss in the pit of my stomach like a singularity on the brink of explosive expansion. I regret that when it implodes, my heart will melt into a puddle of nuclear waste, and eons will pass before it is whole again. Yet, as bad as things got, I will never regret the beautiful gift you have given me. The gift of intense, painful love that led to such profound personal growth. I will love you forever because of that.

Conclusion paragraph

The number of obese people is significantly increasing. Therefore, obesity is becoming a bother disease. 
The first solution is to change eating habits. Everyday, people should have a meal with high food value. For example, Vietnamese always have meals with rice, meat or fish and vegetable which improve enough food material. Furthermore, people should eat less fast food. Thus, everyone can prevent from obesity.
The second solution is more activity. Doing exercise can burn calories out so people should do exercise everyday. Moreover, people should not depend on convenience a lot. For example, if your house is near the market, you should walk to the market.
In conclusion, obesity has some causes and negative effects on people. Possible solutions are more active and to have good meals everyday.

Problems and solutions. - I can´t sleep-

Sleep well is really important. There are so many things you can try to fix the problem if you don't sleep well. A lot of specialist in this materia say that just keep technology out of the bedroom. You also should limit your caffeine and other stimulants. This may be a hard change, but there are a lot of ways to wake up whithout stimulants. You'll have to experiment a little to find what works, but when you take care of yourself physically, in general, you'll likely find that sleeping works just the way it should.

Cristina's Mind

I don't like that taxi driver talk me. Neither when my hair is cut. I don't like that when I go shopping, the shop assistant ask me: ''I can help you?''. I don't like that people aske me: ''What are you doing?'' or, ''When do you come?''. I like to read books in book shops, but I don't like when someone approach me to read the same that I read. Neither when I am on the beach that people look me when I go to sea to swimming. That's what I want to achieve. I want to go unnoticed. I want to live my life.

Cristina's mind

WEEKEND  IN MADRID.
Miss is not a concept, it is my relationship status, my home, my headache...sometimes you just have to wait and see what happens. I have made mistakes in my life, but the biggest, definitely, is not having meet you before. Life has taught me to be adult to allow me to cry when you really want to cry. It was nice to go dancing in the middle of Granvia. But one of these days I will give all the same and I go to your house to ask you to invite me to sleep. But sometimes I want to kill you.

We have to make a deal
a sacred covenant and fulfill it...

You will always be that secret, the secret of our life.

My experience ( High school - University)

On the one hand I remember that when I went to High School in Jumilla,  1º course was a great experience, because before I went at Catholic School called Santa Ana. In this school I wore uniform, but this school has not Bachiller. For this reason, when I had finished 4º E.S.O, I went to secondary school called Infanta Elena. In this secondary school I knew a lot of people, among wich the boy of my dreams. In March of 2014 we started a relationship until now. At 2º course I did 'Selectividad' and I had a great mark in that. On the other hand, University had not started very well, because the first days I did not know anybody and my boyfriend started his studies in Alcalá de Henares. But nowadays  I have more friends in the class and I hope to see he soon. In conclusion We must not have fear about new situations, because all changes always are favourables.

Ballet is my passion.

My mum told me that I started dancing at the age of four years in ''Estudio de danza Carolina Bas'' in Jumilla, my town. When I was a child I wanted to be a dancer. Then I started dancing I found  I really liked it. Nowadays it makes me so happy. Firstly was just for fun, but now is so much more than that. Last year I took lessons every monday, wednesday and friday, but unfortunately this year I only take lessons on saturdays because the rest of the week I live in Murcia, and I go back to Jumilla  every weekend, because I just can't wait to get back to my family and... I NEED TO DANCE! I just do whatever makes me happy.
In this photo, my patners Elena, Belén, Marta and I in Teatro Vico, Jumilla before we went on.

In this photo I was a spokesmodel at the dancing school in 2014.

Bull-fighting shouldn't be allowed

I totally disagree with bull-fighting because is one of the worst types of animal abuse. Bulls have the same rigths than you or I to live, I have never liked bull-fighting. I remember that when I was a child, my grandfather and I went to a bullfight, and  I began to cry and we had to go out. It was one of the worst memories of my life. Bullfight it looks like a crie, because to kill animals is the same to kill people and for this reason bullfighters should serve their sentences if bullfights were banned. Unfortunately,  the tourist industry is one of the biggest supporters of bullfighting. Animals shouldn't used for entertainment people, it is something that must to end.

Cristina's mind.

I really excited because I received the news about my favourite singer in the world, Zahara. She's going to come to Murcia for an acoustic concert day 29th October for her album ''SANTA'' in ''Teatro Circo''.The last time that I saw her was in Low Festival, in Benidorm. Last friday I bought the ticket to see her that day. I hope the day comes already.

Giant Causeway

In the picture we can see Giant Causeway. That place was created millions of years ago when a field of lava formed an hexagonal rocks. This place is located in Northern Ireland. It's really fascinating because it has a lot of legends about formation rocks. This place is very similar than Fingal's Cave, because both of them have the same formation. The columns that we can see in the foto are of basalt. It's very ancient place, and this is an amazing historical location.

(Group B2) - Living in Spain or abroad?

I think that along our life, we need to make decisions and them  will determine our destiny in the future. At this moment, I am studying English Studies's grade so on the one hand, living abroad is one way that  I will choose when  I graduate from university. On the other hand I can also live in Spain but the economic situation is delicate at present in Spain, consequently if I lived abroad  I would have more possibilities to get a job. Personally I am very passionate about living abroad, specially in Manchester or Birmingham, although for the moment, I know I will to study hard, but  I will make it.
