These days I’m preparing for the Certificate in Advanced English (Cambridge) and, for that matter, I’m reading several books. Among them laid The Time Machine, the famous classic written by H. G. Wells, which I have just finished. The next paragraph is my favourite quote:

It is a law of Nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have to meet a huge variety of needs and dangers.

I think this is my first (and probably last) post in English, so be indulgent to me if I have committed any errors (but please, tell me which are them if any!).
