TAPIR

Tapir is one of the most enderaged animals in the world. I that is a real pity because they live since approximately 40 million years. Nowadays four species exist in the world: three in Central America and South America and one in Asia. Tapirs are big and strong animals. They make a sharp sense of the smell, which they use to find and to choose their food and to detect possible dangers. They are solitary and shy.
Why Is the Tapir endangered? They are particularly vulnerable to the pressure of hunt. For his reproductive rate and low densities they cannot recover their population rapidly. Another threat is the fragmentation and the reduction of his natural habitat, as consequence of the development of activities such as the forest exploitation, deforestation, a forestation with not native species and exploitation of hydrocarbons and ranching. When they are done without control or suitable planning, tapirs suffer a strong degradation of the environments and their natural resources.
In 1998 one company for the conservation of the wild animals named Group Tapirus was founded . From this date, a group of ten volunteers work to assure the protection of the wild animals of the environment of the plantation. Their principal aims are: •To observe and to learn more things over of the animals of the local environment, to protect the flora and the fauna of the plantation and of the surrounding areas and to promote the environmental education of the local population.
To sum up, we hope that Group Tapirus and more others organizations help the Tapirs survive.

COMPOSITION

When I was a child, I usually went spend summers at the beach, in “L’Escala” on small town in “La Costa Brava” My parents bought small apartment near the sea. In this apartment we met a lot of friends and nowadays our friendship is still very alive. Every summer we usually stayed in it for one month and we did a lot of funny activities. Every week my brother and Martina went on their bicycle to “Cala mongó”, a cove near “L’Escala” . In this cove we spent a lot of afternoons swimming, laughing, and eating a lot of ice creams. I think that without these summers my childhood would have been very boring.

KIDS

KIDS

One of my favourite songs in English is Kids. This song is created by MGMT (before named Management) and the singer is Andrew VanWyngarden. Nowadays this group isn’t very popular here in Catalonia. MGMT are from Tennessee (USE). This group was created in 2002 while two of its components were studying in the University of Connecticut. They started composing music with different styles until they arrived at “Psychodelic Pop”. Kits isn’t the most famous song of this group. This song is about kids (like the name says) but I don’t like the lyrics very much because they are very strange.
I like this song because the voice of the singer is nice and the music too. It’s a funny and catchy song. It’s important for me because when I hear this song I’m thrilled and I remember the last summer holidays. I like to listen to this song in all the moments and in all the places. I don`t like the general message of the song I only like the music . I think that these lyrics are complicated to understand, because I don’t find their meaning.
I don’t like the video clip of this song because it’s too strange like the lyrics. I suppose it because I don’t understand the lyrics either. In this videoclip the singer appears with his face painted white and black like one Venetian mask. While he is singing, in the video clip there appear a lot of images about people dancing without any relationship with the song.
In conclusion, I like this song although the lyrics and the video clip are so strange.

MY FUTURE

In 20 years I will be like now but my physical appearance will be different. I will be taller than now, my hair will be longer. I will be dressed following the fashion tendences. My personality will be different, because I won't be as impulsive as now. I will be friendly and funny like now.

My house will be big, sunny, with a big garden and a swimming pool. My house will be in Berga near my parents' home. I will like to have 3 children, one girl and two boys. My oldest son will be called Jordi in honor of my grandfather. I haven't decided the others names yet. I will have a husband as good as my brother. I'd like to have a great family.

I will work as an interior designer with my young cousin. We will create an enterprise devoted to interiorism. My family company will be continued by my brother, because he likes it. Every day I will work for only 6 hours because I want to be with my family and I want to do some sport.

My hobbies will be sport, listening to music, going to the cinema and travelling around the world. My lifestyle will be like the one of a modern woman that combines working and the family and her own physical care.
