Scientists found more than 1,500 fossils from about 15 people in a cave from South Africa. These people are called "Homo Naledi", and is a new type of human. The bones are 20,000 years old and can tell us that these people’s brains were very small, they had small teeth, its hands are curved, a feature seen in apes that spend time in trees. they had feet and ankles fit for walking upright so Homo Naledi, was something between the modern human and an ape.
Homo Naledi is unlike any primitive human found in Africa, so scientists claim that the discovery will change ideas about our human ancestors. They don't know how the bodies ended up in such a remote part of the caves but they have a theory: The bones were deposited by relatives as part of an ancient burial rite.
I chose this news because I think it's very interesting and it is an important discovery that can change our thinking about the evolution of man.
When I saw it, I loved and I decided to start watching the series. It calls Zoo and it's an American drama television series based on the 2012 science fiction thriller novel by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge. It is about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans sweeping the planet. A team, Jackson Oz, an American zoologist who spends his days running safaris in the wilds of Africa and his Kenyan friend, Abraham; Kristen Connolly a safari guide; a quirky veterinary pathologist, and Nonso Anozie a French intelligence agent. They are recruited to investigate the mysterious epidemic that causes all the world's animals act strangely. As the attacks that occur around the world are getting smarter, coordinated and fierce, Oz and others investigate how to stop the animals to unlock the mystery of the pandemic. To investigate, they travel a lot and they live many adventures.
The main characters are:
James Wolk as Jackson Oz

The first season consisted of 13 chapters. I recommend this series because it is very interesting and I love the series related to animals. I hope the second season starts soon because the first season left me with intrigue.

I have not seen many horror movies because I don't like being scared. But I remember "The visit", the scaries movie for me.
The visit is an American horror film produced and directed by Manoj Shyamalan. This film is about two children named Becca and Tyler who go to visit their grandparents for the first time ever. Paula, the mother of the children, has had problems with her parents in the past, so she decides not accompany her children. That's why then Beca decides to make a documentary during their visit with their gradparents to reconnect their mother with them. During the process of the documentary, Tyley and Becca discover that there grandparents are not only acting weird but are also hiding a dark secret, and for this reason, Tyler decided to secretly filming what happens on the ground floor at night. When they saw the strange events, they contacted with his mother by Skype. Paula saw that John and Doris weren't her parents. Rebeca found on the basement the corpses of the real John and Doris. Also she found uniforms of the impostors from the mental hospital. Finally the grandparents are killed by children.
The best part of the movie is the end because it's when you finally discover the secret of the grandparnts and you understand everything.
According to the "Multiple Intellligences" test, my strong points are the music, kinaesthetic, interpersonal and intrapersonal. I agree with this, because I sing in a chorus, I easily remember the lyrics of songs and I love listening to music (especially pop songs) when I'm sad, angry or stressed. I'm body Smart because I like work out and practice some sports like volleyball. I agree with the results of intrapersonal intelligence because I know my weaknesses and I know very well myself. I agree with interpersonal results too, because I'm a very sociable person so I like to make new friends.
I agree that I am normal at linguistic because I like lenguages. And also I'm normal at naturalistic because I like to study things related to nature and animals.
Finally, acording to the test my weak points are logical which I totally agree because I hate maths and visual/spatical intelligence, which I don't agree because I like drawing and I'm very observant.
The test "Animal in you" has said the animal in me is the Sea Lion. The scientific name is Otaria byronia. The test consist in answer some questions and in the end it gives to you the animal that you supposed to be. Acording to the test I am medium size, that's true because I'm neither very large nor very small; I'menthusiastic and I agree because when I do something, I do it with joy and enthusiasm. Also, the test says that I'm flirtatious, I disagree with this adjective because I'm not the type of person that shows feeling for someone that is usually not meant to be taken seriously. Charming is another adjective that define me very well, and finally the test said that I'm plucky and obstinate. I agree with plucky because I think I'm courageous and I disagree with obstinate adjective.
Acording to the test, the careers that I would have to study are:
Performing arts
Air traffic controller
Paramedic
Lifeguard
I want to be kindergarten teacher so I disagree with all the careers that the test said because I don't wanna study medicine so Paramedic and Lifeguard don't interest me. I don't think I am gonna study to become an air traffic controller. I also disagree with performing arts.
And it also guessed that my hobbies would be:
Diving
Fishing
Volleyball
So in this case I agree to all te answers least one, fishing, because I think it's very boring. Anyways, I love playing volleyball and someday I want to dive.
My hero is Christian Colllins, he's nineteen years old and he is a Canadian famous Youtuber. He is also known as a teenager actor, songwriter, singer as well as a rapper. He is very attractive. He has short brown hair and green eyes. I love his smile because it's so cute and his teeth are as white as snow. I suscribed on his Youtube channel "WeecklyChris" two years ago, and now I'm a Colliner.
His favourite sport is the snowboard. He loves travelling, eatting pizza and meeting his fans. Also he loves listening to music and making funny videos. He doesn't like people that are selfish and negative. He loves animals, especially the penguins because he thinks they are very adorable.
He is very talented because he sings so good, he always has a big smile on his face so he's cheerful, self-confident and I think he is a hard working person because he spends most of the time in the studio preparing new projects for the Colliners, his fans. His goal is to impact as many people as he can through music. With his positivity he makes me believe in myself and when people brings me down I only need to see his Snpchat story to smile. I look up to him because he was a very shy kid when he started making videos, and now he's an international Youtuber so I am so blessed to have an amazing idol like Chris.
One of my biggest dream is meet my crush Christian Collins and his brother Crawford. Chris is an entertainer and social media celebrity well known
as WeeklyChris who has worked as an actor, musician, and businessman.
He has over 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube and is also popular on
Vine, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat as well. Crawford is 18 and collaborates with Chris. He has over 1.4 million followers on Vine and is also popular on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and Snapchat.
Now they have a very big mansion on LA, but in Canada they have an apartment.
I have different challenges to accomplish this awesome dream. The first one is get money to travel to Los Angeles. A flight from Barcelona to Los Angeles cost approximately 500 euros per person. It's very expensive. The second one is convince someone (one of my friends, or someone in my family) to travel with me, because I don't wanna travel alone.
I can make my dream possible if I save money to buy the flight ticket. I can also work in summer or do something to raise money. To convince someone to travel with me I can explain him how much Chris and Crawford means to me and if nobody wants to come with me I will cry, but I hope this doesn't happen.
To achieve this dream, I have to be cheerful, tranquil, willpower and hard working to get money and patien, because there are so many fans who have the same dream like me.
So, this is my biggest dream and my future challenge. I hope one day I can take a picture with them.
