I'm a character who appears in a fiml called ''The Hunger Games''. My  partner, whose name is Petta, appears with me most of the time in the story and we get on very well. My most memorable scene is when, they are choising the person who will go to the games, and Katniss' sister was chose, but Katniss volunteered herself.

TASK 1 :   El Cambio Climático en EspañaInstructions:1. Watch the video below and answer the questions in as a complete way as possible:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjpj6VVSPQY&list=PL9HQxO9BGS4Px5VLZUPjCWhuP30ezZMpy&feature=player_detailpage#t=14According to the information given in the documentary, ...
1. How will the climate change affect Spain?   

The climate change will affect Spain like that:
      - Raise of sea level
      - Higher temperatures
      - Animal migration
      - Risk of desertification
2. What concerning statements are mentioned?      

- Climate change is a reality of human action- The climate change is a problem which solution we don´t know- The climate change is the price that we have to pay for the life level we have obtain

3. What processes affecting the climate change are mentioned?

One of the biggest problems is that we use too much transports. We use non-renovable energy such as oil too fast, and we shouldn't because this energies are going to finish in few days.

4. What could we do in Spain to reduce or revert the climate change?

To reduce the climate change we should use more renovable energies like sun and wind. We also should stop emiting fuel fossils, and we also should reduce the green house effect.

5. What's your personal reaction to all this?

I think that the climate change is a problemcaused by humans, firstly done to make the world better to people, but it finally has produce a big problem that we don´t know how to resolve, and if we, humans, have produce the problem, we have to resolve it too. Maybe, we cannot resolve it all, we can try to reduce it or to prolong it.

Task about the film

2. Can you imagine a world without energy or technology? How would it be different.

I think our society could not live  quite right without technology or power. I think we could live more or less without technology, although to some people would be a wreck, but it would be almost impossible to live without power, because  we're used to all that. 

But possibly at the end we could survive without using it, or maybe we would to the same mistake, we will produce power again, polluting the earth. 

Humans are intelligent producing things to live better, to have all we need, but we never seewhat would happend then, that's our problem.

All those noughts

B. I think I made a big mistake leaving the money because …......................

 I think I made a big mistake leaving the money because, I had already stolen, and leaving the money behind the toilet everybody could take it. The right option would be to gave it to the police pretending that I haven't stoled it, or maybe taking it to me, but not leacing it like I did. I can't stopped thinking about it, what could happend if someone saw me takind that money? In airports there are a lot of cameras, I hope anyone had saw me. Anyway, I shouldn't do that, I'm thinking about stop stealing things and money, I have to look for another job more comfortable, and of course, not ilegal. I think this would be the best option, but now I only have to think of being careful of the police...

Invent a job

The work is called "home guard". The work consist on be all night at home trying to keep thiefs out home. It is not a common work but some people need it because they have gorgeous stuffs at home ans they can be steal. It needs some qualifications, like to be strong, because if a thief goes into your house, he/she has to be able to stop him/her.
The sort conditions will be very good. He/she can use a bethroom if she need it or he/she can live in his/her own house. He/she will have breakfast, lunch and dinner free. The salary is not too hight or too low, I think it's ok. I'm talking about around 1000 euros a month, I think it's good for the work.
