GIVING ADVICE

Dear Pau

My best friend isn't talking to me at the moment and I'm not sure what's the problem. I've also received one or two unfriendly messages recently. Unfortunately, I haven't got other friends and I feel very unhappy. What should you do?

Xuni

Dear Xuni

If I were you, I wouldn't be too worried about this. Are you sure these people are your friends?
Obviously, you should talk to them as quickly as possible. You must speak honestly to them and tell them that you are worried.
As for the texts, you must try no to think about them. Unfortunately, people are strange sometimes, and you have to live with it.

THE FUTURE

In my opinion our lives will b more expensive and healthier in the future. We'll create more pollution, ans scientists won't create super-robots. We maihht have more time or entertainment.
I thing it's important that we colonise space. If we don't live on other planets, we will not have enough food or space for all of the people on Earth.
In general I feel optimistic about the future.

SOLAR CAR.

This strange car doesn't use petrol.. it uses the sun!
The car took part in the World solar Challenge 2009, Australia.
32 solar cars from 17 countries drove from the north to the south
of Australia - a distance of 3,021 KM- using only the sun's
energy. The challenge was to show that solar cars really work.
So perhaps one day, we will all have solar cars!
