Dear Julia,
Firstly I would like to apologize because I finally betrayed you. Although it was only in my mind, I couldnt bear my fear. I was wrong about O'Brien. I thought he was against the Party and he would be able to help us in the fight against power.
I feel miserable when I think how different our life have been. Our dream wasn't that fantastic and I was sure some day it would come true.
Also, I wonder how it is possible that most of the people believe everything
the Party says and they accept living without any kind of freedom.
I hope they didn't make you feel too much pain. The worst it is the fact that I am sure our world will never change, because the power is too important to let people have freedom to change it.
Finally, I would like to tell you that our special dream was wonderful and I would repeat it again. You are the best person I have ever known because you didn't mind standing against the Party even though you knew the possibility of failing. I am sure I'll love you forever and you'll always be in my mind and my heart.
Thank you Julia.
Yours,
Winston S.

HOUSE OF CLOTET POET
While, simple and surrounded by a garden, where a small forest grows up. It is where The Andalusian Poet Pedro Perez Clotet built his house in 1930. The actual owners know how to maintain its charm without rejecting the mix of styles and materials that nowadays are in use. The house shelters one of the best Spanish poetry libraries.
To the southern face, you can go through a delightful stone staircase which is protected from the sun by a big grapevine. The balconies with iron railing, are covered with plaited strand of bass, bought to an artisan from Ronda. The floor is made of boulder and boiled pottery making a chess pattern. The northern face is the main entrance, with two magnificent cypress trees which welcome the visitors.
Inside the house you can feel the great imagination and the good taste of the owners, how they match the ancient materials with modern ones. Like in the kitchen the old wooden cupboards were painted with metal silver colour to match with the stainless steel house gadgets. The furniture is a mixture of pieces and objects bought here and there, with others witch have been rescued from the past and given a new life with paint and upholstery without loosing their original style.

GENDER GAP
Although nowadays women have almost succeeded in getting the same rights as men, we can still talk about a gender gap. Lets examine two main general aspects.
Firstly, at home, in spite ofthe fact that men help in the housework chores, they do not really share them, for example, women still do most of them such as preparing the meals, looking after the children, making the beds and doing the ironing.
Secondly, at work, despite being on the twenty-first century, some kinds of jobs such as nursery, secretary, and primary school teaching are mostly carried out by women; others, such as piloting, mechanics and computer programming are mostly carried out by men.Besides women have to work twice as much as men to demonstrate that they are able to achieve the same work and they often earn less when performing it.
Personally speaking, although the gender gap between males and females is getting narrower and narrower, there is still a long way to bridge this gap.
