The Pisa tawer

The Pisa tower is situated in Italia. It was built between 1173 and 1185, and it is made of big blocks of stone. I've visited the Pisa tower two or three times, but it was a long time ago. I like a lot the structure of the tower, because it's very nice this tower.

Giving advice

If I were you, I would talk to her about this. Do you have a good relationship with her?

I think that you should go with her to school and say to the teachers that they have to control her.

As for her relationship with Steve, you must talk to her and tell her that her boyfriend is separating you two and that he wants her to leave school.

The gene

What’s a gene?

A gene is a locatable region of genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of inheritance, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions and/or other functional sequence regions.The physical development and phenotype of organisms can be thought of as a product of genes interacting with each other and with the environment A definition of gene, has been proposed by Gerstein et al. "A gene is a union of genomic sequences encoding a coherent set of potentially overlapping functional products".

The gene

The cloning animals:

•Complex biotechnological procedures have enabled scientists to successfully clone mice, sheep, cows and other mammals.

•The technology is still at early stages and currently, one in three cloned animals is born abnormally large or with other developmental problems.

The gene

GM food:

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foodstuffs produced from genetically modified organisms (GMO) that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola and cotton seed oil and wheat.

The gene

Dolly:

Dolly , a female sheep or ewe, was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer. The cell used was a mammary gland , proving that a cell taken from a specific body part could create a whole individual. She was named Dolly after the curvaceous country western singer Dolly Parton. Previously it was believed that a specific cell could only produce replicas of the same body part from which it was obtained.

Writing: A composition

The future

In my opinion, in the future, our life will be easier and it mechanized. We might emit more contamination and the scientists will create new cars with more power and more security and they will create super-robots for difficult jobs.

I think it’s important to colonize space. If we live on other planets for example Mars, we will pour the remains into other planets.

In general, I feel optimistic about the future but I’m pessimistic about the pollution.

Writing: An email

Hi Sara
I’m writing this email from Andorra. It’s a fantastic country and it’s perfect for skiing.

In the last few days, we’re staying in the mountains, skiing all day. So far I’ve really enjoyed skiing and we have had new experiences on the snow.

Tonight we’re staying in a shelter with my friends. The next month, we’re going to travel to Italy by plane.


I hope you’re well, Sara. I’ll write again soon.

Writing: A survivor's store

Last Sunday, I went to an excursion in Mexico with my friends. At midday, we had for lunch a sandwich and an apple each one.

Suddenly, we heard a storm far in the sky. It was a tornado! At the next moment, we were all in panic, we were very scared. The tornado was coming from the south. We began to run to the north, where my house was and we went inside.

Afterwards, we were ok and calm. We had lived a terrible experience and my friends were now going to their houses to have a rest. The next day, I watched the TV and I saw in the news that the tornado finally disappeared into the sea.

Writing: describing a "life picture"

In my picture the color is yellow because it means happiness. I also think that I am happy and sometimes. I'm a relaxed and cheerful person.

Here, there's a photo of me in the garden of my house.

My favourite activity is riding my horse. There are other photos, too. You can see my dogs and my horse. My favourite animals are dogs and horses.

I like the wood, too.
