A big hailstorm

I’ve never lived a “natural disaster” directly, but I’ve seen his effects.

I often go to Alcañiz, a town where may mother, my sister, her husband and their three sons live.

Two years ago, more o less, during the spring, there was a big storm, a big hailstorm. The ice balls were as big as a billiard balls, and they were fallen during thirty minutes. Can you imagine? The result was horrible: blind and glasses of the windows and balconies broken, cars dented, branches of the trees cracked… and all the roof tiles destroyed, triturated to be exactly.

I visited my family two weeks later and, when I was arriving I could see a very different landscape. The urban area was empty of cranes, like a big iron trees between the houses. I had an estrange sensation.

These cranes had been brought from around the country. Many people earned a lot of money because, all the people needed to arrange their roofs as quickly as possible and the price of works went up very quickly.

When I came back, one month later, the cranes have disappeared, bat the estrange sensation remained. What is wrong now? , I asked me? I stopped my card and I looked at the town attentively. Finally, I noticed what happened: all the roofs were new. It seemed like a picture, a bad and unreal picture.

Little by little, people have gone recuperated their normal live. Nevertheless, when the sky gets grey, many people look at it and start to pray.

Natural disaster?

What are the“natural disasters”? Are the” natural phenomenons”, disasters?
“Natural disasters” is an expression not too much correct, in my opinion. When we use it, we refer to the nature like some bad. The nature exists and reacts. The problem is when people are in the middle on phenomenon.
What do you think about it?

Women second part

Dear English class colleagues :

Tanks for your messages. In general, I not agree with you, but I undesrtand your ideas. They are normal ideas in this society.
I apologize. In this moment, the "patriarchate" is arriving at his end, and it's very normal, men(in general)and some women resist to the change. I don't worry about it. We are a lot of women, more every day, and some men also, we are hands on projects.

Women

The other day, in the class, the teacher made a question to the students. The question was: Do you thik housewives should be payed by the state? I remenbered only two or three women said yes. Big suprise!, because in the class there are more women than men.

Some women said that is very complicated, (some men had the same opinion), because housewives not always do work. My question is: why when the subject of the conversetation are the women, many people, even the women theirself have a lot of ojections?

When people decide to change their job, or to lose it, they recibe the unemployment benefit. Nobody think if the people who recibe this subsidy are a millionaire; perhaps they are. In general, it considers (except the more liberal economists), the unploymen has this right.

Please, women! We need to think like a women we are. If we think as men, we never get our freedom, because, the economic sistem established by men don't want it. We need to belive we are important, the things we normaly do, they are important, our feels are also important. And we need to know that the problem is the conomy isn't interested in that. The capitalist economy profer don't pay the bills.
