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.
