2. LOCAL ISSUES
THE EBOLA
It’s an epidemic which is going
on in West African countries. It
began in 2013 in Guinea and
then it spread to Liberia and
Sierra Leone. After that,
Nigeria had been controlled but
there was another case in
Senegal.
Cases of secondary infections of
medical workers in the United
States and Spain have occurred.
There are two kinds of fear
nowadays in Liberia: contracting
Ebola, and contracting any other
sickness/disease.
On the surface life here looks
normal. But don’t get wrong!,
this is a country gripped by
fear, anxiety, frustration, a
sense of hopelessness and
confusion. In less than five
weeks, Liberia’s capital,
Monrovia has become the epi-
center of the growing Ebola
epidemic in West Africa.
In EE.UU the first person being
infected by the Ebola has been
a nurse who went to Africa to
look after people infected
there. She treated a man who
had the illness, so she was
infected because of that.
Unluckily, some days later that
man died.

3. The case of Ebola in Spain
occurred because of the same
thing. It was one nurse too who
was infected first. She is
isolated in another room. And
she cannot be visited
by anybody, neither her family.
The doctors say that they think
that she has been improving
every day and has a marked
improvement.
Because of this illness they have
sacrificed a dog recently. They
weren’t sure that the dog had
the Ebola but as there were
some probabilities, they decided
to sacrifice it... There have
been a lot of demonstrations not
to sacrifice it. People didn’t
agree with the decision, because
they thought that it wasn’t clear
if it had could be infected or
not, and maybe it hasn’t got the
illness but they sacrificed the
dog anyway.

4. WORLD ISSUES
Aste Nagusia is the Basque name
for the festival which was
celebrated this summer in
Bilbao. It took place from the
16th of August to the 24th.
The symbol of this festival is
Marijaia.These days the Bilbao
City Hall usually prepares
several concerts, activities and
so on, for
people to have fun.
This year they have had very
good concerts and many funny
things to do. People from all the
country have come to the
festival because many famous
singers have performed.
There have been fireworks,
bullfights; every day...a lot of
music concerts...like Carlos
Jean, who is one of the most
famous DJs in all Spain.
Apart from him, Malu sang on
the 18th of August at 23.30pm
in Abandoibarra, one very
famous place in Bilbao. That
night the square was full of her
fans, there were about 1 million
people watching her concert, it
was one of the most anticipated
and desired by the public
because this year and last year
she has been the coach of the
very famous TV programme
called “The Voice” with Antonio
Orozco, who was singing in
Bilbao on the 21st of August at
12pm in this festival too. The
concerts were brilliant.

5. WORK AND EDUCATION
POPE FRANCISCO IS DOING GOOD HIS WORK!
Francisco Javier Martinez has
been talking about the sexual
abuse by the clergy in Granada
saying the investigations into his
diocese are continuing and chose
an unusual homily to ask for
forgiveness in the cathedral.
Something that probably has not
been seen before in a Catholic
cathedral as the Archbishop and
several bishops with him lay
down on the floor for several
minutes.
The congregation was arriving
for Sunday mass and many were
greeted by the strange sight.
The gesture came a week after
the revelation about the sexual
abuse, allegedly carried out by
several of his bishops. All the
bishops across Spain have asked
to be pardoned for what has
happened in Granada as the
Police say more abuse reports
are expected.

6. LIFESTYLE
TELEVISION
In our opinion TV is an important
thing, but we could live without
it.
We wouldn't mind if we were
restricted to see TV for an hour
because there are more
important things in life than to
watch TV. If we had to choose
which programme to see, we
would see reality shows like Big
Brother or Elder Brother.
We don't like the adverts, but
we think it is important to
advertise the new items that
are released into the market.
And for that reason, we
sometimes have to see the
adverts.
In our opinion, there is too much
violence on television for
example; in Sálvame (a popular
talk show in tele5) the
collaborators insult each other
all the time! And sometimes
during children's time.
The TV has changed for the
worse in the last 50 years,
because in the past there was
only one series for all the
afternoon and nowadays there
are so many programmes and
series and people are all the day
in front of the TV.
All in all, people will see more
and more TV in the future,
because there are too many
programmes for all tastes.

7. MORAL ISSUES
TOO OLD TO HAVE CHILDREN?
There are two types of
mothers. Ones that have a child
at 16 and others that have a
child in their 60s , like the lady
in Romania and the
businesswoman who had twins at
the age of 59. What do you
think about having babies at
that age?
We think that it’s not normal to
have a baby in your 60s because
if you are that age when the
child is 10 you are too old to
look after him/her. And apart
from that you’re not going to be
physically strong to do things
with your children.
If you have a baby at 16-17
you’re not mature enough to
bring up a baby. And apart from
that you must drop the school
and that isn’t a good lifestyle
because if you don’t go to school
in the future you’re not going to
have a good job and you’re not
going to have money to feed
your children. Another problem
could be the father, because at
that age almost all the boys
aren’t mature enough to act as a
dad. You haven’t got money or
time for the baby and instead
of being you who educate the
baby; it’s going to be your
parents’ responsibility.
We think that choosing the
baby’s sex isn’t a good idea
either because then there are
going to be too many more
babies of one sex than of the
other. Because in China they can
only have one child and they
usually choose to have a boy.
In our society there is another
concern, clonation. Is cloning
people morally acceptable? We
think that cloning isn’t a good
idea and they shouldn’t clonate
people. Science sometimes isn’t
suitable. Science is very useful
for treating illnesses, but we
should think twice about
clonation.

8. FOOD AND HEALTH
The 12-year-old alcoholic.
On one hand is a good idea
because then the street is dirty
and the teenagers drink too
much and they don’t control
themselves. And the neighbours
don’t have to support the
scandal that teenagers do.
On the other hand , the street
is the only place where they can
drink , because a teen of 12
years old is not going to drink
alcohol in his or her home,
because it suppose that his or
her parents must not know that
they drink .
When you are conscious about
what you are doing and when you
are responsible of your facts.
People shouldn’t be allowed to
drink alcohol when they are on
TV, at school, at football
matches. But above all, it
mustn't be allowed to drink if
you are going to take the car
because the car needs all the
attention and because you don’t
have to put on risk the life of
other people.
If you drink only sometimes with
control isn’t a bad thing but if
you drink always affects to your
liver and that has a consequence
of having health problems. It’s
something that is dangerous for
the person who drinks and for
the others because some people
don’t control themselves and
they become aggressive with the
other people.
