The topic of this conversation is the music of Brazil and we have found it very interesting because we have learned the kind of music that is sung in Brazil because of this music also sing samba and jazz, and the differences of this dance is the samba is a dance with a lot of movement and jazz is very quiet but the themes of these dances are mostly the love and fun and a singer well known in Brazil is Monica Vasconcelos.
Underwater living In this 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English, Finn and Robe will talk us about people living underwater. Today, they'll tell us about scientists who broke the world record for time spent underwater, they spent 31 days under the waves! And Finn and Ron will teach us some related vocabulary too. First of all, Finn asked Rob week's question, “What is the longest time a human being has held their breath underwater for?” The possible answers are: a) 12 minutes, b) 18 minutes, or c) 22 minutes Rob choose the second option, b) 18 minutes. Finn'll tell Rob if he's right or wrong at the end of the programme. Continuing with these scientists, “did they hold their breath for 31 days?” ask Rob. “No, but they did live underwater in a laboratory” say Finn. That's a room with scientific equipment for doing tests. This laboratory was 18 metres under the sea in Florida and being there allowed them to spend less time diving and more time observing marine life. One of the men was Fabien Cousteau, an oceanographer (who studies the oceans). He's the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, a Frenchman who held the previous record of 30 days underwater. Fabien wanted to break his grandfather's record to raise awareness of ocean conservation. They were particularly interested in investigating the effects of pollution on coral. The life under the sea wasn't too bad because they had air conditioning, hot water and internet access, but the food was pretty awful. The food is quickly frozen and dried, to preserve it. And coming back to dry land they had to spend 16 hours decompressing. That's very important to return to their original body pressure when they come out of the water. Finally, Finn says that it has been 18 minutes, underwater. Actually it was even longer than that: “22 minutes” There are reports that two different men have managed this feat, Stig Severinsen from Denmark and Tom Sietas from Germany, with Tom apparently holding his breath for 22 minutes 22 seconds!

In conversation we have chosen two people speak Neil and Rob talk about St Paul's Cathedral is in the center of London. It's a modest 111 metres high, but for nearly 300 years it was the tallest building in this city. Now, it is dwarfed by nearby skyscrapers, many of which have sprung up in just the last few years. They've got irreverently British nicknames like the Gherkin, the Cheese Grater and the Walkie Talkie. Elena Granadilla y Carmen Sevilla.
In the conversation of BBC that we have chosen are talking Rob and Finn. They are talking about the freedom. We are all right with the BBC because every people must be free. For the people are good has laws but the people use the laws for are racist. The country number one in talk more about freedom was in New Zealand. We support the free speech of the people. All the people have to be tolerant with other people for their religion, race, colour or sexual orientation…
Also they are talking about the quality between women and men, both of them have the same rights and they need respect and freedom to do the thing they want. They talk about a man called Norman Kember, he was a British man who was taken hostage in Iraq in 2005. He said that the only thing that you have to keep free is the mind and think about good things. In some countries, the people have to fight to get the freedom like hold protest and marches and campaigne for a change in laws and attidudes. We think that it´s good to have the freedom that all the people need in every country.
What is freedom? During the conversation they talk about the concept of freedom and its limitations and differences in some states depending on the political system. Also the presenter asks the invited what is the most free nation. He has three answers to choose from. The guest chooses New Zealand and this is correct. They speak of freedom in different fields: political, labor, racial, cultural, religious, sexual orientation, etc. Finally, they say that if a man is retained, he can be free in his mind.
Freedom is a controversial concept. Freedom is a word that everyone not understands it the same way. People are limited by rights and obligations because without these society would be chaos. Rights under the constitution assures freedom. I understand freedom for someting positive but sometimes limits us, ie, we cannot always do what we want. This means, as Sartre said, that my freedom is limited by the freedom of others. For example, when I feel attracted by a member, that person is free to accept or reject. That's when the freedom of the other person begin and ends mine. For these things perhaps humans aren't free at all. I understand freedom as an idea that isn't fully achievable and only we will be completely free in our mind, bug the mind is also limited by the body.
Proyecto integrado. 6 minutes english Deleting memories We all have bad memories that we would prefer to forget. But can science actually help us delete specific unwanted memories? New research suggests it could be possible. Rob and Finn discuss the research and explain some words relating to the brain. Trabajo de proyecto integrado

This text inform over the bad remembers. The scientist was triying to delete the bad memories separating neurons. Looks like a TV show where a scientist talk of that. They informs the spectators over the good and bad things in the treatment. The most important in the show is the post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. The pacient live that memorie all the time and it looks real. The pacient can lose memorie in the operation too. The PTSD do the connection in the subject´s neurons more strong like the other. If we broke that connection we delete that memorie. Other interesting detail is the people have over a 80-100 billion of neurons.
