COMMENT 10

Since Friday I have only heard about the new variant of COVID which has been named Omicron. In any news program right now, they only talk about that new variant.

From what I have heard, it´s a very worrying variant because it has up to thirty-two mutations and has a high risk of reinfection, I don´t really know what that means but it sounds as if it is  very dangerous. And it must be because the variant was announced on Friday and on Saturday it was no longer possible to fly from southern Africa countries to the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. Because now COVID is at maximum in the countries of the European Union.

We thought that everything was improving because we were vaccinated but it seems that this will not end for years.

Michael Jordan is considered by many to be the best player in the history of basketball. I´m not a big fan of basketball but from what I have seen and heard I understand that he is considered a legend. Comparing him with great football players, he would be at the height of Maradona.

One of his most memorable matches was the one he made in the last game of the 1998 finals against the Utah Jazz, in which with five seconds to go he scored  the decisive basket. When I saw him in the video I was shoked, incredible what he does to the other player, he tricks him intelligelly and puts the basket, I had never seen anything like it.

 On 12th November, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ended. It had brought together one hundred and ninety- seven countries, bussinessmen, scientists, activists, who have tried to reach agreements and commitments to combat climate change and to progressively stop using coal.

But has it really served any purpose? It seems that not for much. One of the most relevant things was to reach zero carbon emissions, this objective seems unfeasible in the short term.

It seems hypocritial to me that all leaders go to the conference by private plane, which is so polluting. I think that goverments aren´t serious about solving this problem, it gives me the impression that they are´t interested because they have many benefits, it´s a problem that it is difficult to solve. From my point of view it takes more effort to sove.

 Mario Bros is one of the games that I played the most when I was a kid. When I was five years old my parents gave me a Nintendo DS with Mario Games, I loved playing although with age I have been playing other games.

Mario Bros is known as the most famous plumber in the world. His games are about rescuing Princess Peach, who is kidnapped by Bowser. It seems like an easy game but it isn´t because it has so many phases and they are getting more and more complicated.

This games is close to its 40th birthday and is still one of the most played games in the world. It´s so famous that it has an international day which is 10th March.

I was on the desert with my friends, it was a sunny and hot day.

Suddenly, one of my friends says that we hadn´t got any water. Imnediately some friends were screaming. I was very nervous because we haven´t any water.

Fortunately, one friend told me the idea of calling a rescue helicopter. While I was calling the rescue helicopter, my friend searched the location and we told them about it.

Finally, the rescue helicopter came and we were safe.

 A DIFFICULT PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

One summer afternoon I was with my family in the small boat that we have, we normally sail to La Herradura, but that day my father decided to go further.

We were sailing when my father realized that something was happening to the engine and we decided to turn around.

Suddenly the boat stopped and there was smoke in the engine, my mother started crying and I was very scared.

My father had to call the emergency, we were all very nervous because we didn´t know if the ship could sink.

It hadn´t been a long time since we called the emergency when the recue boat arrived. We get on, I was helping my father to get things.

Since then we have decided not to go that far.

John: Hi Mary! What are you doing?

Mary: I think I have lost my maths work, I had it on my pendrive and I can´t find it.

John: How about looking in your bag and your pencilcase?

Mary: That´s a great idea!

John: If we can´t find it, how about going to your room to look for it?

Mary: I can´t because now I have to go to private maths classes.

John: What about looking there?

Mary: Fantastic! We will go.

John: If it isn´t there, then talk to the teacher and explain what happened to you.

Mary: I can´t, I´m afraid that he will fail me.
