San Francisco, the city of my dreams



San Francisco, it is the fourth most populated city in California and the thirteenth of the U.S.A, the city has 8080.976 in habitants.

The city has several islands in the bahía, the most famous is Alcatraz. The islands communicate with the rest and the world by way of the international Aeroport of San Francisco.


Nowadays San Francisco is popular with international tourists, it is famous for the Golden Gate, bridge Transamérica the Pirámide the trams, and Chinatown.


It is situated on the west coast of the U.S.A, several islands like Alcatraz, treasture island, Yerba Buena and smalls islands of Alameda. It also has uninhabited islands Faralones, 43 kilometres from the coast of the Pacific Ocean.

The climate of San Francisco is mediterranean with mild humid winters and dry summers.


Finally, to say that I like much the city of San Francisco.

EXCHANGE SERVICES

Nowadays people who do not like spending money are looking for other ways to find services. The exchange of goods or services instead of paying for them is a possibility. You can do this through a website, for example as www.loquo.com (which has a Girona section).

There are a lot of different services to exchange, for example guitar lessons, english lessons, massages, information technology etc. You can offer to give english lessons and somebody can walk your dog. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be difficult.
Another way to do this is by using a time bank.
When you join, like with any new bank account, you will receive a chequebook. This is used to denote services, the person who received it must write out a cheque stating the time taken for the task.

I think that this new activity is very good, because people can receive help from another person and the other person can receive help from them.
Also, I agree because you don't have to pay and I think there are more people who want to use these services.

THE MODELS INFLUENCE ON TEENAGERS



Nowadays there are a majority of girls who have illnesses, for example: Bolimia and anorexia. I think this is caused by the fashion models nowadays.

But, there are more things that affect the adolescents, magazines, advertising and photoshop.


On the catwalk there are girls very thin, before they weren't like this the models were normal like real people, girls that could be compared to normal people.

But, at the moment the girls that are in the magazins are changed until they look perfect and then the girls try to be like them, but it is all false.
