Dear Amy

Dear Amy: I think I'm going to break a promise. The last holidays my friends and I talked about making a trip to the beach for the next vacations, the reasons for this trip are that it's our last year at school, we want to spend some time together, and to take a breath of everything. To make this dream come true we agreed to save money, we shouldn't spend it, only on necesary things. We have been doing this for the last two months.
Yesterday, my mom told me, that my family and I are going to make a trip these vacations in the same beach that was planed with my friends, my mom told me that I can’t go with my friends, I don’t know what to do!, my friends are going to get upset because of this.
I don’t know how to break the news to my friends, well and to make matters worse I also spend my money on an I-pod.


Ana.

A COMPLAIN

Mr. Garralda

Picture this: a normal morning, you stand up, open the curtain and see a beautiful landscape, you see the historical park of your community, it reminds you the origins of your community because it's not only a park, it has a small archeological place. This image can be totally normal for you because every morning it's the same story.
But what would happen if this place didn't exist? If you wake up to the noises of traffic, and if you open the curtain and the only thing you can see it’s huge buildings, and a cloud of smog, and maybe you'll get colds.
Mr. Garralda that's what would happen if we don't do anything to save this place. The community where I live and I disagree with the construction of a supermarket here. The supermarket will bring us caos, I just can't imagine that. That construction just would ruin our lifestyle, that’s how we feel.
We have a quiet life, and we don’t need a supermarket here, what about green areas? What about our origins? This should be a place far away from industrialization.
It’s okay to have places where to shop, but not here, they can be build in other places, because is not a good reason to destroy a historical park, this place should be a ecological reserve, and that’s more important than to have small shops.
Tell me Mr. Garralda isn’t it our right to ask authorities to preserve our historical places? I think at least they should hear us.
