Promoting tourism


I made an exposition about Italy because it is the country that I want to visit in the future. With this exposition I knew a lot of beautiful places that there are in Italy, and I started to think about my country Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a really beautiful place full of nature and kind people. It is sorrounded by mountains and rivers, and in there live different kinds of animals. And I wonder Why we want to go to another country if we have a big one in where we can found great places. I do not know my country at all, and I do not want to visit other places until I visit mine. So, I invite you to come and know my beautiful country and maybe you are going to love it and find the love here.

Fixing our genes


When I was looking for information about genes, I found an article about genetics researches that analyzed the genomes of patients with schizophrenia. They found duplications in the DNA that cause the problem. According to the article, people with this disorder have hallucinations, disorganized speech, abnormal thought processes and other symptoms. Thanks to these researchers and more scientists that look for the consequences and cures for all those diseases that people are suffering, now people have hope to know they can have a better life.

Innovations that help our life or make us addicts


When I talk to my mother and she tells me about how her life was when she was a child, I cannot imagine my life in that way. She did not have a kitchen or light, just wood and candles. Nowadays, we have washing machines, cars, cell phones, computers, and so on, and all those inventions make our life easier. Everyday, someone invents something new, but I think that these inventions make us be addicted to them. If someone has a cell phone and sees another more sofisticated that the one that has, he or she wants the new. Sometimes new inventions are not necesary, but publicity makes us to think that we need them. That is why I think some inventions are really good and help us to have more time for other activities or make the work faster, but also they can make us forget that we do not need them at all and sometimes inventions can provoke mental and health problems, like obesity. That is the reason why parents have to care what their children see and do, and to know what kind of gifts they have to give to their kids in order not to make them addicted and forget important things like be with the family or friens, or study for their future.
