Italia: paese ricco di contraddizioni

Il testo “Italia: paese ricco di contraddizioni“ Ú scritto dal Michael Pohle e tratta di un conflitto dal Nord e Sud d’Italia.
La disuguaglianza regionale Ú un grande problema che influenza alla relazione tra le due regione. Il tasso si disoccupazione nel Sud Ú tre volte più grande che questa al Nord. Due dai tre persone che emigrano a causa della disoccupazione lasciano il Sud d’Italia. Al Sud abitano il 37 per cento della popolazione italiana, ma la prestazione fa solo il 25 per cento al PIL. In questo senso Nord Ú più produttivo dal Sud.
Il divario non sembra a diminuire. A questa causa i due regione, più precisamente queste partite, vogliono separarsi e formare le regione autonome.
Economisti e sociologi cercano una possibilità per Sud, per esempio a combattere il problema con la mafia.

Mezclar lenguas

Tengo un problemita. Soy sueco y entonces, hablo sueco y inglés fluido. Aquí, inglés es casi una lengua oficial ya que no hay nadie que no lo habla. Ni siquiera podría contar cuantas veces que digo algo en inglés sin que me lo dé cuenta. Cuando no podemos encontrar una palabra específica en nuestra lengua maternal suficientemente rápido, lo decimos en inglés porque estamos seguros que todo el mundo todavía puede entendernos. Una cosa que está llamada “swenglish” por nosotros. Y entonces, tengo un habito de mezclar lenguas. Eso no fue un problema cuando estaba estudiando mi primera lengua extranjera, francés, porque era tan diferente en pronunciación de sueco u inglés para molestarme. Pero un día me dijo que “¿no sería cool, estar capaz de mirar televisión en español?” Y este día fue lo primero de muchísimos donde me encontré empezando una frase en una lengua romántica y acabándolo en una otro. Y tengo miedo de lo que pueda pasarse ahora cuando he tenido la idea brillantísima de probar a aprender italiano. Os puedo decir que ya me ha llegado esta cosa y es peor que jamás

Strawberries can get moldy easily, but they will keep for a week or so if you gently and thoroughly wipe them with a tissue so as not to damage them, and wrap them in aluminum foil with the calyx down, not doing touch each other, and put them in the refrigerator. Remove the ones that are already damaged.
Why do you put the calyx down?
I don't know. Because that's what they said. Maybe to prevent it from being damaged.
What about freezing them?
You can, but they lose their flavor. It's good for jam or something, but it's best to eat them right away.

I heard that rhinos are being killed by poachers at the rate of one a day now. I don't understand why rhino and elephant horns are traded at such high prices. They are of no use to me even if I had them. It just makes you look like a egotistical self-absorbed narcissist. At least use expensive watches and luxury cars to ego trip. Don't ego trip by killing living creatures. It is the same as killing a person, buying his bones at a high price, and displaying them in your room to show off. Also, people who use it like traditional medicine are crazy. Use ordinary medicine. Believe in current science. If you die from it, it is your fate. It has no power to cure you. Don't kill living things in vain.

Shinjuku Station is the world's busiest train station in terms of number of passengers, with an average of approximately 3.5 million passengers per day.

What is the difference between JR and private railways?
I don't know much about it, but I think JR is a privatized company's railroad that was originally nationalized, and private railways are owned by private companies. So I think there is almost no difference now.

Essay: Methods of minimising the use of fossil fuels

Enviromental problems, specially the use of fossil fuels, has become one of the most urgent and challenging issues that human being will have to deal with in this century. In order to solve them, there are two major topics related with the use of materials and energy, these are accordingly: recycling and nuclear energy.
Nuclear fusion is a controversial kind of energy due to the facts that is a non-renewable one and, currently, it is impossible to revert the radiactive pollution generated by their residue. Moreover, in its short history, it has provoked enormous accidents, making some areas inhabitable. Therefore, other alternatives, as renewable energies, had better to be taken into consideration. Regarding the production of energy, it makes no sense keeping the old standards, even more when it already exists several clean alternatives to turn back all the contamination produced by fossil fuels.
Recycling, on the contrary, has demonstrated to have more advantages than drawbacks. It allowed us to reuse common use materials, as paper, glass and plastics. However we lack of a more advanced technology that imitate the natural cycles, which would lead us to an endless reusing of materials. Therefore, more funding is needed on the part of the governments in order to develop such kind of technology and make up the damage it has been doing to the Earth, even though there will no outputs in short term.
All in all, there is no point on continuing to use non-renewable sources of energy as the nuclear, since it is too dangerous in terms of life and enviroment protection. Recycling and research are by far the best solutions governments all around the world should implement.
