Problem/Solution paragraph

One of the biggest problems nowadays is malnutrition and the low knowledge about it. Malnutrition is often mixed up with starvationbut they are very different terms. On one hand, malnutrition is not necessary a lack of food; it is a lack of one or more nutrients, so we can conclude that almost everybody could have malnutrition, no matter if they live and work in a developed country.On the other hand, starvation is a debilitation of the body caused by a grave lack of food. In order to solve problems related to malnutrition, people of all ages should visit a nutritionist to make sure that they are following a suitable diet. Solving problems of starvation is far more difficult, but if third-world countries were able to make use of their own natural resources, their economy would increase, sothey might be able to earn more money and avoid starvation and diseases.

Opinion paragraph

I wanted to share my opinion about a company that I recently discovered: Pampling.
Pampling is a company in which independent artist send their designs to a contest, and people vote their favourites. Every week, new designs are sold as 'xpresstee', in a cheaper price than usual.
These designs are not limited to t-shirts and hoodies; they have sunglasses, umbrellas, scarfs, baby and children clothes, shocks, shoes, bags and even candy.
I already bought two t-shirts in the physical shop and a hoodie  and a bag online. They are made 100% cotton, so they are very soft. The drawings are silk-screen printed, which makes them long-lasting throughout time and washings.
The thing I most like about clothes is that they are soft and easy to wash, have a good quality and designs are completely original. The biggest disadvantage is the price; normally, a t-shirt costs 20€ unless you find a sale on the Internet or you buy a xpresstee for 10€. This high price is a consequence of the contest: winners make a contract with Pampling in which they decide the amount of money they will receive for each article sold, but Pampling claims a minimum of money for them.
Another fact that I liked so much is the refund system. If you don't like what you bought or it is a garment with the wrong size, the only thing that you have to do is to send it to the factory with a letter speaking about the problem you have. Once they receive it, they will send you an email with a code that exempts you from paying the cost of the  article you refunded in your next purchase. For example, if you bought a t-shirt that cost 10€ and refund it, you will not have to pay those 10€ in your next purchase, neither the shipping cost.
In conclusion, Pampling is a company that I mostly like for its system of contests and the quality of their products, but prices could be much lower!

Describing someone

I would like to talk about my grandfather Pedro, who died a few years ago.
He used to live in a countryside built by his fathers and where I used to visit him and my grandma Ana  everyday in my childhood. He spent his time taking care of the animals he bred (horses, pigs, chickens, peacocks, turkeys, sheeps and goats. He also grew different vegetables and fruits, but he prefered animals. During my visits he told me all he knew about birds (mostly about robins) and taught me many things about farm animals and how to take care of them.
My grandad was a tall man, strong and had clear eyes. He might be physically intimidating to other  people, but when I think on him, watch his photos or even see a robin, I remember those peaceful days in my childhood in the country, learning about animals and forgetting about bad things that had happened during the day.

Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Last week my best friend and I exchanged our game consoles: I lent him my Play Station 2 with two games and he lent me his Wii with three games; and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is one of them.
This is a videogame that I have been waiting to play to for ages. When it went on sale, there were crowds complaining about the game, and I actually couldn't think on a reason.
Later, about one year ago, I started to watch a gameplay by RanguGamer on Youtube, and found that I loved the game. Chronologically speaking, it is the first one of the saga The Legend of Zelda, so it gives an origin and a story to other elements that we first found in the first game, and that's a great point for me.
Its graphics are good and have vivid colours, so the switches are visible in the background, but they aren't obvious.



Apart from the colours and graphics, the thing I most like is the control. Using a wii remote control and a nunchuk, you can control the movements and the direction of cuts with your sword, the flight with the pelicaro and few more things.
The fact I most disliked was recycled enemies. Every saga does; producer companies take the image of an old enemy and re-design them, and The Legend of Zelda  isn't an exception. Here there are some examples:
                                    
                                   



References to old videogames are good, but creating new enemies and concepts without changing the esence of the game wouldn't be a bad idea.
In general, TLOZ is one of my favourite videogames saga, and this one specifically, can easly become my favourite despite of the numerous critics it has received.

VII Manga Convention

Last Weekend took place de VII Manga Convention in Murcia. I went on Saturday with some friends by train at 8:10 in the morning because we didn't want to wait in an enormous queue, but all people in Murcia seemed to think the same, because the place was crowded. The convention was suposed to start at 10:00, but we actually were be able to get in at 12:31. We wanted to attend to a speech about The Legend of Zelda, one of the most famous videogames saga, but we missed it because when we finally were inside the building, it was about to end. I could have gone with another friend to see a dance contest, but I didn't expect nothing special and we went to buy some things. Today I've seen the videos of the contest and I really regret to not to have attended. There were far less stands than the year before, so I only bought a t-shirt and a necklace. In the afternoon we saw the expositions about Marco, Dragon Ball sculptures and bonsais. Later, at 18:30 we wanted to attend to a speech about music in videogames, but the speech before (about cosplay) got too long, and since we were really tired, we left the convention to go to have dinner and finally go back home.
