New Tool To Fight Deadly Tsetse Fly

Hi, i'm María and i'm going to speak about  a very interesting news to save many lives in Africa

After 10 years of effort, a team led by scientists at Yale has finally decoded the genes of the tsetse fly, a bloodsucking scourge of Africa.
With that knowledge, they hope to find new ways to repel or kill the insects, whose bite transmits sleeping sickness, a parasitic disease that, like rabies, drives its victims mad before they lapse into a coma and die. The flies also carry nagana, which weakens or kills cattle and renders whole regions of Africa inhospitable to most livestock.
There are now fewer than 10,000 confirmed cases per year of sleeping sickness — formally known as human African trypanosomiasis — but the disease occurs in epidemics. As recently as 1998, the number of estimated cases was 300,000. Treatment is long and difficult, and without it, the disease is always fatal.

Exchange 2014

Hi Im Maria and Im going to speak about the exchange with France
Every year at my school ESO 3 do a exchange with France ,everyone were going to the house of a French family and  this serves to learn the language, to know more about the culture and also to learn to live with a family being a good host.

This year we go to Deauville (Normandie) is a very nice place!
during the week we did many things, we visited the city, we did a tour of le mont saint michel and advantage that we are in Normandy we work about the second world war and we visited a museum about the Normandy landing, the museum are very interesant.
All that was midweek but weekend everyone lived with his family

For me this exchange was amazing, I learned many things, I have gotten along well with my family and I have made many good friends. It was a very good experience and I'll never forget, though at first I was a little scared at the end everything went well. Everyone should do something because it's great
I really want to they come to Spain to see them all!!!

The kings

For me, the night of the 3 kings, Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar is the best of christmas, i love this night and is the Spanish Christmas tradition, but i don't like becvause at the next day we hace school. In the night we let them chocolates and nuts to the kings and their camels and then we go to sleep. 
When we got up, running we will look for presents that are hidden around the house. When we find them, open them and "play" with them. For Carlos and Javi are two paddle raquets and for me are a jewelry and a Andy-z shoes. After breakfast and we went to play paddle at "Club Español de Tennis" 
Then we ate fish rice and for dessert the king cake, in then two figures are hidden, if ur the king you are crowned king and if you touch the aba, you have to pay the kings cake next year.
After the kings cake the day of the kings finished and wait until next year.
