Dinosaurs became extinct million years ago. Some people think that they weren't real and some other people think that they were the start of everything. We have a lot of proof that they lived in the same earth as us. We are not just talking about fossils, we have to focus on the evolution too.
ResponderEliminarOnce my sister told me that birds were related with dinosaurs, that during thousands of years evolved and reduced their size. They were called ''terópodos'' in spanish.
The cassowarie has reminded me of these stories my sister used to tell me.

Dinosaurs existed many years ago.
ResponderEliminarThere are people who make theories about them, and don't believe in their existence even though we have a large amount of evidence that they existed, like fossils.
Very rarely I heard of Cassowaries, and they say they are very aggressive and one of the largest birds in the world.

ResponderEliminar``Life in the year 2222´´
In my opinion, life in the year 2222 will be very different from life today. There will be too many people on the Earth. As a result, there won´t be room for everyone. For this reason, many people will live in cities under water or in the sky.
The houses under water will look like submarine, and the houses in the sky will look like space zoo. There will be air in them, so people will walk around inside without any hassle or inconvenience. There won´t be cars. People will take the subway superfast or through portals. At school, students will learn in different ways, depending on the grade they are in, there will be a multitude of school subjects and classes.
Life in the future sounds very strange, but I think people will still have fun and they will have interesting lives.

ResponderEliminar``Afghan Government Crumbles After Taliban Arrives In Kabul´´
Twenty years after the US invasion ousted the Taliban from power, Afghanistan is once again at the mercy of the fundamentalist militia. The attackers surrounded Kabul this previous Sunday from all fronts before finally entering the city, after an offensive in which they conquered one provincial capital after another in two weeks, until they took over 90% of the territory of the Central Asian country. Shortly after the capture of Jalalabad, near the Pakistani border and the government's only major city outside Kabul, was announced in the morning, the militia began the siege by ordering its members to prevent a spill of blood.
The departure of the president, Ashraf Ghani, known hours later, embodies the image of a government in the process of collapse a day after it insisted on ``remobilizing´´ its forces to stop a Taliban advance that has been unstoppable since they launched their attacks in May, coinciding with the start of the withdrawal of US troops and its allies.
I think that know nothing remains of the age of dinosaurs, so I don't thing that that animal is a dinosaur, I think that is only a bird, a strange one, and they have put the name of dinosaur, but what make it different of the other birds?, I am sure that there would be more birds dangerous, and that one isn't the only one, so I don't thing that we can call it dinosaur.
ResponderEliminarI love animals but the birds are the ones that I like it less, they are very simple and all are nearly the same, my favorite animal is the pig and the monkey, but a little bit more the pig. In the future I would like to have a strange pet, one that isn't common to see, and when I go out the people stop to see my pet and ask things to me, it ill be fantastic. Now I only have a dog, but it's beautiful too.

ResponderEliminarThis year has been the Olympic Games in Tokyo, it is the second time that these games are held in Tokyo, since the first time was in 1964, this event is worldwide as athletes from different parts of the world participate. The Olympic Games are considered the main competition in the sports world.
This event is held every four years and due to the Covid last year it could not be done and everyone was eager to see this event, since more than 200 nations participate and especially people who like sports or are athletes they were looking forward to that day. It does not attract my attention but I saw it because my mother and my brother love to see it.
In this event there are all kinds of activities such as synchronized swimming, archery, rowing, tennis, volleyball ... and many more. All the athletes who participate have had to work very hard because not just anyone can go to represent Spain or any other place, I believe that in Spain there are good athletes and that in the coming years we will win more medals.
In short, it is the largest international sporting event involving many athletes from different places. The next Olympic games will be in Paris from July 26 to August 11, and I am sure that Spain will win many more medals than this year because there are very good athletes in Spain.

I had never heard of the cassowary so I found this article very interesting. I have discovered this interesting bird, which is the most dangerous in the world. Cassowaries can remind us the velociraptor because of their legs. Their strong legs and claws are capable of killing a person. These birds are awesome but if I saw a cassowary, I would be frightened!
ResponderEliminarGema. Victoria Márquez Martín 1 bachillerato
Now more than 200 million years ago, dinosaurs already ruled the Earth. They had diversified into a multitude of species, as they would continue to do for a long time afterward, and had spread across the entire planet. Some were rather small, others large, those gigantic and strange monsters that today delight the public. There were herbivores and there were also predators, ferocious beasts capable of hunting and devouring other animals.The fact is that after having dominated it for a period of time much longer than that which has elapsed since its disappearance to the present day.

ResponderEliminarIt is incredible how there are animals so rare like the cassowaries. These birds seem dinosaurs. They live in Australia and are similar to the ostrichs.
ResponderEliminarIt is very curious all the animals that we can find in the jungle and we think that they don’t exist. There are many species in all parts of the world that we don’t know. Cassowaries are endangered and this means that they can disappear if we don’t respect them.
A fantastic experience would be seeing these big birds with their claws and the strange head. But we must be careful because they can attack us.
Leo Maldonado
Although dinosaurs have been extinct for thousands of years, there are people who do not believe in dinosaurs even though they have evidence, such as fossils, that they lived on the same planet as us.
ResponderEliminarI had not heard of cassowaries before, I have been researching and I have seen that they do not fly and are very aggressive solitary birds that live in the tropical rain forest and eat fallen fruits, some mushrooms and small animals.
Denisa Andreea Tomoroga 4ºA
I do not think that this bird is a dinosaur, since that time was millions of years ago and there are none left, but it may be that one of its ancestors had been. They are very dangerous, but their colors are pretty. I would like to see them sometime. I don't like birds because they only make noise, but I do like the parrot because you can entertain yourself by talking to it.
ResponderEliminarMy favorite animal is the husky, my brother has one, his name is Dara, and she is a very pretty and very calm dog. She has blue eyes and loves to play with other dogs. The love between dogs and humans is incredible.

ResponderEliminarCassowaries is a type of bird that doesn't fly and lives in the jungle, it's known as dinosaur bird. This bird is considered one of the most dangerous birds in the world.
ResponderEliminarDinosaurs were extinguished millions of years ago. There are a lot of people who like dinosaurs and enjoy studying their evolution, while there are other types of people who don't believe that this is true.
Nowadays there are some places where you can go and you can find fossils from millions of years ago, this seems incredible to me because this helps you to make a little idea of what it was.
I really like animals, birds are some of my favourites, and I'm really interested in the history of dinosaurs.
RAQUEL PEINADO TORRES 1ºBACH A
Dinosaurs lived in our planet thousand years ago.
ResponderEliminarA lot of people think that dinosaurs have never existed.
In my opinion dinosaurs were the first animal in our planet. People have
found many fossils.
Fossils are very interesting because you can see bones, teeth of animals that were
millions of years ago.
About cassowarries I had never heard it. I reckon that this animal is very interesting but it can also be dangerous.
In the future I’ll have a lot of birds because it’s an animal very beautiful and it’s very intelligent.
Now, I have a dog which is very intelligent too.
JOSE ADRIAN GONZALEZ 1ºBACH A
This bird is very peculiar since it does not look like the birds we are used to seeing, but this does not mean that this bird is a dinosaur. Little is known about the era of the dinosaurs and that is why it is a very cloudy subject aha that being so many thousands of years ago we cannot say anything for sure.
ResponderEliminarThis bird has features of dinosaurs and experts also say that it is the most dangerous bird in the world, I have read that it can measure up to 2 meters and one of the largest weighs 70 kilograms, this is quite a lot since it would be larger than me and many people.
Birds are very different and special animals since they have many very peculiar techniques for their survival. We can also see practically the same birds with the naked eye but they are totally different species and have very different habits. I think that birds can be very interesting to study since each bird is very different from the rest.
They are componed of three species that distribute in Australia and New Guinea . They are solitary birds , they can't fly and a lot of agression . They live in the tropical rainforest .The eat fruits , some hongos and little animals . They have black feathers , their necks are blue and red and they have a helmet on hia head , that helmet is a protection for they , and they can use that for the self defense .
ResponderEliminarJavier Rivas López 3°A
The Cassowaries are solitary birds and they cannot fly, their temperament is very aggressive,``some consider it the most dangerous bird in the world´´. Is composed of three species found in the northeast of Australia and the island of New Guinea, they live in tropical jungles where they eat fruits and other foods such as fungi.
ResponderEliminarIt´s appearance is similar to that of the Emu, but this hasn´t crest. It´s large size is about 2 metres high, and it´s weight is around 80 kilogrames, is considered a living dinosaur, by it´s size and type of feathers. Their legs are very strong and robust, in each foot they have a very sharp claw that they use to defend themselves. It´s neck is red on the lower, and on the rest of his neck and his head is blue, and above the head has a hard and thick crest.
According to genetic studies, it´s closest relatives are ostriches, emus and kiwis, whose birds are from it´s clade.
I had never heard of the cassowary so I decided to vir a documentary that was very interesting. I’ve discovered this bird, which is considered the most dangerous bird in the world. Cassowaries can remind us of the Velociraptor by its legs. Its strong paws and claws are very strong and are capable of killing a person. In my opinion it seems a beautiful and very dangerous animal.
