NASA's ingenious moon simulator that helped prepare Apollo astronauts to land where no one had gone before

Ingenious Simulator NASA moon helped prepare the Apollo astronauts to land where no one had gone before. It is a high technology simulator was designed to represent the surface of the moon and the astronaut could identify.

The machine has a stall, a system of TV and four large scale models that represent parts of the lunar surface. The simulator also represented the conditions of the atmosphere. It was designed to develop techniques for the moon rocket landing on the moon. But later NASA saw that the simulator has mistakes.

I didn’t know that exist a simulator of the surface of the moon. Most surprising is that reproduced the conditions and any man had walked on the moon.

The influence of psychologists on ours society

The mind has to be healthy, this is the most important, for all the other things of the life to be good. For that exist the doctor, but psychologists aren’t exactly a doctor and they help us stay well mentally. Every time more and more people are going to a psychologist because they feel bad psychologically.

I think that psychologists are well considered, because there are many people who visit a psychologist. Although some people are embarrassed to say that they visit a psychologist, but nowadays many people visit a psychologist and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. I know people who visit a psychologist and some people have told me it helped they and since they visit a psychologist they feel better.

Finally, I believe that psychologists are the answer to our psychological necessities, because going to a psychologist help many people overcome their problems. Not only is good thing because psychologists help to resolve problems of other people, he talk with his patients without the need of medication.

My toxic friend

 I have a friend called Alisson, she never thinks about other people and only thinks of herself. Therefore, she always wants to do what she wants. I never said anything until a few days ago. I said her that this weekend we weren’t going to leave because I sprained a foot and we were going to see a film at home, but she was angry because she really wanted to go to a party. Since that day we spoke very little and she doesn’t explain to me the things that she explained me before. Every time she has less friends, because nobody can put up with her, she maltreats her friends and believe that everything she does is the best. At the end she won’t have any friends.

I believe that the solution to this problem is that she changes her behavior and don’t ignore me. But I don’t think that going to happen, so the solution is that she ends up with no friends and she sees herself that she is a bad person and changes. She will think more about other people and that must respect other people. 

 Hello, teacher

My name is Sabrina and I’m 16 years old. I live with my parents and my twin sister in Empuriabrava. We have a dog and a rabbit, but I would like to have more animals because I love animals. But I’m afraid of insects. Sometimes my sister and I go running or skating, but we don’t like to go the gym, because we prefer to do exercise outside. Also I like painting, meeting my friends and cooking.

When I finish Btx, I would like to study biology at the University of Barcelona, but I’m not sure because I don’t have a clear idea yet. Despite our parents not wanting us to move, probably my sister and I will be going to live in the city.

Anybody can know how your future would be, but I would like that after the studies I want to have a good job to travel to different countries, for example India, Mexico, Greece… Also, I would like to get married and have twins as my sister and I, but a boy and a girl. 

Royal Mail to step up action against dog owners after more than 3,000 attacks on postal workers in a year

The Royal Mail have to further action against the owners of dogs that attack postal workers. Also the postal group have taken action against owners of dangerous dogs, that would mean that those houses wouldn’t  get the letters. Each year there are more 3,000 dog attacks. Dogs cause the postmen injuries, traumas and some die.

New laws have been made in Wales, Ireland and Scotland for  to prevent dog attacks in the postman.

I believe that is right that these countries are making new laws to protect postmen. Owners of dangerous dogs should are tied,shut up somewhere or wear a muzzle. Because this article talks about the attacks on mail carriers, but these dogs can also attack other people, including the owner.

Although there isn’t treatment for the disease and these children wouldn’t live beyond adolescence. There is only one medicine to extend the lives of these patients.I think it’s very cruel action of this organization, because they knew it would be very easy to lie parents with sick children. Besides the children were tested with drugs and the parents risking to cure their children. But thanks to all forms of communication that exist people saw the problem of these children and they ​​contact with the parents.
