Have you ever forgotten a password?
I didn't know my email password, but that wasn't a problem because my computer remembers it for me. However, the other day, my cousin came to my house, and he wanted to check his email, so he logged out. When I realized what he had just done, I tried to remember my password but I couldn't. 
I was very angry with him at first, but then I calmed down because it wasn't his fault, he didn't know that I didn't know my password. He asked me "Why don't you put the same password everywhere?". 
The truth is that I have the same password everywhere except my email, because last year someone was sending emails pretending to be me, so I changed my password and I put a really difficult password, so difficult that I couldn't remember it. I know, I'm stupid :)
So I tried to change my password, because I couldn't remember the answer to my security question. I have had the same email address for so many years, that I don't know what I answered when I was twelve or something like this. Then, I entered a place where they asked me a lot of question, like "what's your name?". Then they sent an email to another email address that I had given them saying that they didn't have enough information to know if it was me the one that wanted to change the password.
At the end, I created a new email address. The problem is that now I don't have the emails of my friends!! 

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" is a book written by John Boyne. It is a children's historical book, which was published in 2006. The main characters of this book are Bruno, a nine-year-old german boy and his new friend Shmuel, another nine-year-old boy who is jewish.
Bruno lives with his parents and his twelve-year-old sister Gretel in a big house in Berlin. After a visit from Hitler, his father is promoted to Kommandant, and they have to go to live to a place called "Out-With". There, he is really homesick and he doesn't know what to do and he starts exploring the surroundings of the house. One day he meets a boy, Shmuel, behind a fence, and they become friends. This friendship changes Bruno, who wants to know what it is like to live behind the fence.
This book is a really emotive book, which makes you realize how hard it was to live in that situation, and you can find yourself crying while reading the end.
I would recommend this book to everybody, but be aware that it is a sad book. I recommend reading it in original version, because before I read it in English I had read it in Catalan and it is a horrible translation.
