How to care a Sugar Glider

A Sugar Glider is a nocturnal animal which a lot of people consider very pretty. The name is due to its taste for sugary food but it also eats spiders, moths, beetles and larvae insects. However, it needs many specific cares, so having this kind of pet is not an easy work

Firstly, they are very social animals which are not prepared to live alone. It is recommended that at least two of them live together so that they sleep, give love and attendances to each other. If it is not done, they will have health problems, self-mutilation or bites caused by depression.

At second place, they are habituated to jump, run and "fly" from one tree to other one. As a result, they must have a big space to live; cages for hamster, guinea pig or rabbit does not work. The adequate type of cage is called "Voladera", so if you are not going to buy it for this pet, you should think about buying other animal.

In brief, Sugar Gliders are beautiful animals with which you can play and have a good time, but the most important issue is how to care it. You must follow all the advices about its cares or they could fall ill. They are very interesting animals which can receive and give a lot of love.

  

Bank Holidays

It is the name attributed to a specific number of days in which people do not go to their jobs, universities, schools... This lack of attendance to our obligations is due to national, regional or local holidays. There were two Bank Holidays in the last week (on Saturday and on Monday), so we could enjoy, since Friday to Monday, of 4 free days. These days we had the opportunity to do what we wanted; some went out, a few people studied, and other ones (like me) travelled. I went to Granada and I had a good time so I am looking forward to more Bank Holidays which come quickly.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is known as "Black Friday". It is also the official start of holiday shopping season. Almost all stores cut their prices around the 50% so that people feel attracted in order to buy. People stand in a long queue for hours before stores are opened, to catch the bargain of the year. Almost every store has items which interest everyone. However, a lot of fights have been seen due to the sales. It is celebrated the last Friday of November. Although it is an American tradition, it has been celebrated in Spain with a lot of success by first time this year. It is said that it will have more success every year.

Thesis statement

Living abroad is the best way to extend your knowledge because you can learn languages, discover different cultures and meet amazing people. It can be an exciting experience which a lot of students often perform. Nowadays, the number of students who go abroad is growing due to all the advantages.

If you want to learn another language, living abroad is a better option than any language school. This is due to the fact that you will have to deal with native people who will make you learn easily. In other way, if you already learn the languange, you can improve your accent and pronunciation of it.

As far as I am concerned, being a cultivated person is important and you can do it traveling. If you pass a lot of time in any abroad country, you will have the opportunity of going sightseeing and then, discover the most interesting places such as monuments, sculptures... In other way, you can learn the customs practised which are, most of the time, endemic.

Meeting new people is inevitable when you travel to places where you have never been. As a foreign, you need communicate with native people to discover unknown information as how to get to a place. Asking any doubt can be the beginning of a nice friendship or simply a person who disappears from your life quickly.

In short, living abroad has got infinite benefits for students. The challenge of living in a new environment can give them courage and self-confident. All of them come back home with a lot of experiences and new knowledges to tell.

Advantages and disadvantages

I want to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of catching the bus. On the one hand, catching the bus is a fact that makes you save up money because you do not spend it on petrol. It also avoids having to find a place to park (an issue which is difficult the majority of the times). Moreover, if you catch the bus you can be relaxed reading a book or listening to music. On the other hand, for catching the bus you must be on time at the bus stop or you will lose it and wait indefinitely to other one. In addition to this, if you catch the bus you will arrive slower to anywhere due to all the bus stops (where buses must stop). The worst of all is that, sometimes, there aren’t free seats to sit down and you must stay stand up. Although that catching the bus is an issue which helps the world to be ecological, I prefer not to do it.

Halloween

Halloween is a holiday annually celebrated on the 31st of October. At this time, people dress up as skeletons, ghosts or other scary characters. Although it is more celebrated in Anglo-Saxon countries such as United Kingdom or United States, it has become in a very popular holiday in Spain. Nevertheless, Spanish people celebrate it differently. Some people dress up, others prefer to wear normal clothes and the rest loves stay at home and watch horror films. For instance, I always go out with my friends on this day but I don't usually dress up. Definitely, there are a lot of opinions about how to celebrate Halloween or, even, if it should be celebrated, but me must respect all of them.

Block organisation

Living in a city and living in a village are facts with a lot of differences. When you live in a city, you have more stress due to the high amount of people and traffic jams. Added to this, factories are located there or in nearby areas, so there is more pollution. As a rule, cities are bigger and therefore it is more difficult that people know each other. Because of the dimension, there are more shops and facilities such as museums, swimming pools, discotheques or malls. However, living in a village is a different standart of living. When you live in a village, you can be relaxed in nature spaces surrounded, sometimes, of animals and trees. These nature spaces prevent that pollution exists and, the air is cleaner without industrialized areas. Because of the little dimesion, the space is destinated to shops of necessities like pharmacies or supermarkets. As usual, villages are smaller and people know each other. In brief, living in a city and living in a village are not similar experiences and there will always be people with different tastes about where to live.

So tired...

I don't know why but the last few days have been exhausting. I was sleepy in all classes and, of course, at home as well. Owing to that fact, I had to have coffee but it wasn't enough. I hope the time passes quickly and the weekend starts. At the weekend, I am going to rest so that I can be prepared to begin a new week.

Intouchables

This film tells the relationship between two men from different environment. One, Driss, has criminal record and has just go out from the prison; the other, Phillippe, is a rich quadriplegic who is looking for someone to look after him. Phillippe hires Driss (the only person who doesn’t treat Phillippe with compassion).

I saw this movie because a friend recommended it to me and it has become one of my favorite movies. Really it is a good movie due to the infinite feelings which causes (sadness, happiness, surprise, pity ...). While you see it, you will be like in a roller coaster; you can cry or laugh in seconds of difference.

It was a very seen film and commented since in just nine weeks after it premiere in France became the second most successful French film of all time in number of viewers. Although his debut was in 2011, nowadays there are still people who see it for the first time or, even, see it again.

Phillippe’s luxurious house has a lot of expensive items such as paintings, sculptures, jewelry ... and, however, it is full of loneliness. Therefore, one of the most significant factors of the film is how the appearance of Driss brings joy to Phillippe and to the house.

In conclusion, it is the story of a relationship between two people who help each other. Phillippe learns to be happy again and has fun, and Driss finds their calling and has a job. But, the most important is the achievement of both: friendship.

Describe my favourite place

When I visited Camden Town, in London, I discovered a small zone near all the fast-food employment (Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican…). It is an open space from where you can see the river. The interesting fact is that you can do it while you are eating on colorful motorbikes. Yes, I have said motorbikes; they have been adapted to serve as chairs. When I was there, there was cold weather but I think that it depends on the day. There aren’t ships sailing the river, but this makes the place more calm and peaceful. Stay there was a good experience because made me feel safe, satisfied and relaxed; I recommend it to everyone.

Describe someone

My main reference is my mother. She is my role model and not some singer or famous person. Her physical appearance is not eccentric: brown eyes, brown hair, thin, normal stature (not very tall, neither short)... What is more remarkable of her is the personality. She is always worried about the people she loves, so she is lovely and friendly. This is only a little part of all the good qualities that she has. In the future, I would like to be like her.

My first day

In my first day at the university I felt very nervous because I was in a different place with different people than the usual. It was like a new world for me due to the fact I was not habituated to it. However, I met nice people who make me feel good. Despite I did not know all my classmates I was okey. The only bad fact of my career is the timetable. I have been used to have classes in the morning all my life, and now, the classes are in the afternoon so it has being difficult to get used. In spite of this, I think that it is going to be a good year with a lot of experiences in which I will learn so much.

Fear

Fear of walking alone in the street at night.
Fear of the darkness.
Fear of feeling pursued.
Fear of bugs.
Fear of living alone.
Fear of losing someone.
Fear of failing.
Fear of fear.

The trip

This weekend I went to Granada with my parents and their friends because I have got family there. However, it has not been a normal weekend... when we were about one hundred and fifty kilometres from Murcia towards Granada, suddenly, our car broke down and stopped in the middle of the highway. We had to come back to Murcia in taxi and use another car for the trip. Despite the incident we could arrive to our destination and enjoy the interesting city which is Granada.
