In line hockey vs Ice hockey

Although most of the people think that there is not any difference between “in line” hockey and ice hockey there are a huge mount. First of all, the main difference is obviously the type of court, while on “in line” hockey you usually play on a wooden floor, on ice hockey you play on a frozen water one. Because of this difference, it appears another one, the style of skate. On the first one, skates have four wheels of different size depending on how do you like to skate. On the other one, skates have a steel cleaver which allows you to slip through the court. There is also another big difference, the puc (the item used as a “ball” in this sport”), in ice hockey it is way heavier than in the other, and that is to help it slip in the ice.  Moreover, there are some differences too in the rules. While on ice hockey you can be really aggressive, on “in line” hockey you need to respect your enemies. Also there is an offside rule on the ice hockey that does not exist on the wheeled-skate one, making ice hockey a slower sport than the other. To sum up, ice hockey and in line hockey are similar in most of the things, but they still differ on many things such as some rules or items.

My grandfather Paco

Since I was born I have been a really lucky boy, I have had three parents. My grandfather Paco is not a very delicate person, he is close to be an ogre when he tries to do something, but despite of that he looked after me during my childhood with love and patience. The best two adjectives to describe him would be busy and patient. Although he needed to do all the housework on his and my home because my parents were always working, he always found a moment to go out with me telling me stories about how Torrevieja used to be. Moreover, all my friends still remember those moments when I was playing in the playground while he was running after me shouting: Antonio! Come here and eat your banana! (which was my favorite dessert). Even now, when he is too old, he continues doing every single thing for us and that is why I consider him my second father and my friend.

Bull fighting, tradition or murder?

Currently, Spanish people are divided due to a tradition, bulls fighting. But can we consider this as a tradition that should continue being active? I think not. Since bulls are animals they should have nearly the same rights as all of us, and because of that I cannot understand why should we play with them as if they were toys? They feel pain and they have feelings. Those two reasons should be more than enough to forbid this “party”. It is true that the bulls are an Spanish symbol that is hard to eliminate as if nothing had happened, but there are still other ways of keeping that symbol in our country. There exist some other types of performances which do not imply killing them after the show, like the people who just jump over them. To sum up, bulls are part of our Spanish lives, but we need to understand that the humanity is not over the rest of the living animals in the world.

Public transport: advantages and disadvantages

Nowadays, the contamination is becoming a bigger and bigger problem. There are many ways to try to not contaminate, but as the experts say, the best option is using the public transport. But why is it a good option? I will give examples of the advantages and disadvantages of this way of transport.

On the one hand, when you are at home and you want to go out fast, it is easier to take your own vehicle from your garage, so you do not have to wait for a bus or a train, arriving earlier to not too far distances. Moreover, when you are going with your family you prefer a personal situation, where only your family is present having more privacy. You can be who you really are.

On the other hand, contamination takes the importance. The fact that using personal transport like cars or motorbikes creates a huge emission that could be diminished if we use the public transport is a big truth.  In addition, if all the people use public transport, the traffic will be lower, and that does not only mean less noise or air contamination, that means that you could arrive to all the places as fast as you arrive there with your private transport.

In conclusion, I totally agree with the experts, the public transport is a nice way of moving from a place to the other, but until all the people realize about that, using private vehicles is the best way of transport.
