A cool vacation

The Antarctic is becoming a popular place for a vacation. Thousands of tourists visit every year to see its spectacular ice, snow, and wildlife. The season starts in early November and finishes in early March. Currently, there are about 120 cruises a year to Antarctica. However, these cruises are not like Caribbean or Mediterranean luxury cruises. Although on the ship, conditions can be quiet comfortable, the bad weather, difficult conditions, and danger make this vacation a tough experience. Yet for those interested in wildlife and the environment, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience something new and to photograph whales and other sea life. Most vacations last between eight and fifteen days. Most tourists stay in floating hotels, but some even camp on the ice. Many people worry about the effect on the environment of all these tourists. In fact, though, studies show that tourism causes very little damage. Because the tourists are interested in the environment, they are very careful not destroy it. The tour companies also try hard to make sure the areas they visit are not polluted, as this would be bad for business. Interestingly, far more problems are caused by the researchers and scientists, who are only now beginning to take their garbage away-after complaints from tourists.

1. Vacations to Antarctica are not very popular. False

2. Antarctica is being destroyed by tourism. False

3. An Antarctica vacation is becoming a popular choice for people who like nature and the environment. True

4. The short season means only a few tourists can visit Antarctica.
False

5. Bad weather means that very few people want to visit Antarctica for a vacation. False

The last week i went to the "simposium + valor" that was really cool. I think that i learned a lot. It started on thursday at 4 pm. There were two meetings a little bit diferents but everything was well. I went to have lunch in BBQ House with some friends. The next day we had to go to Siglo XXI so early. The meetings started at 9 am. On the break i went to the movies. I watched "CEGUERA" a very bad movie, it was really bad so i didn't watch the end. At night, i went to "Ixmatkuil" it was so so, because we were so tired so we couldn't walk a lot.

The simposium came to the end. The meetings of the last days were very interesting. I loved one of them. It was called "Supervivencia y crecimiento empresarial en tiempos de crisis" by the director of "boxito Store"

Finally on sunday and monday i didn't anything because i was really tired. But I really liked the simposium.

Memories of a man

After my wife died a year ago, my son and daughter started to ask questions like "Are you going to stay in this big house all alone?" and "Don't you think a smallapartment would be better for you, now?" They still ask me these same questions all the time. I know that they want me to leave so they can sell the house and share the money. But i don't want to move. Although i am eighty-two, I am indeoendent and able to look after myself. They think i am being selfish, but all my memories are here. This is where i spent all my life and i don't want to go to a strange place. I have some good friends who live near here, and i would miss them. My children seldom visit. Why would i want to live in a strange place away from my friends? I know one day i might have to leave if i am ill, but not yet. My health is good, and i want to stay here. I wish my children would stop trying to force me out. I don't want to argue with them, but i don't want to move out of this house. I feel so miserable.

My first visit to Disney world

The first time that i went to Disney world, Florida was when i was 11 years old. I remember that i was really excited. When i arrived to the park i felt something weird. I played all the games and i watched all the shows. Everything was beautiful. Sometimes i felt really tired but it didn't matter i just wanted to keep walking and keep visiting.

I saw a lot of attractions, like the space mountain, splash mountain.

Also, i saw a lot of shows, like finding nemo, the fantasmic, lion king, but my favorite was the beauty & the beast.

I went back a few times,but i think that the first is the most important, and the one that i never will forget.

I think that go to disney world is the dream of every kid.

Open-book Accounting aims to improve accounting transparency. Tax Accounting is the accounting needed to comply with jurisdictional tax regulations.
