THE END...?

Finally today arrive the day, the day to say good bye! After six years in the high school I finish the last course. All the way was very difficult and now it's the time to do balance.

I began this blog some years ago exactly, 3 years ago, and I wrote a lot of post, some of the better other worse but in general I think I did a go job. I review all the posts and I can see an evolution since the first post to now. All of us can see the progress in that time because if we read the first post is quite child, not meaning, not love only words. And now the last post I wrote is very special and I think it's one of the best post. Moreover we can see the difference because at the beginning I did a short post, without a lot of information and always I use the same words, the same structures and the same verbs tenses. Nowadays I think I improve my level of English and now my post are more completed because I use modal verbs, some synonyms, more vocabulary and I write about interesting things.  

At the same time I did some oral presentation. About this aspect of the blog is more difficult to talk about because I think all the oral presentation are very good but some of them need to improve the quality because I'm was very nervous and I did some mistakes but in general are quite good all of them.  I did a lot since the first year but I would choose one. It's difficult because I think I can do better in the real life but in these moments with the pressure and with public, they are good. I can't choose only one for this I choose two: The presentation of street art and thepresentation of my final project. I choose these because the presentation of street art I remember with love because I can chose the topic and for me this topic about Banksy and street art is very interesting and I did with a clearly voice, with convention, with a good use of vocabulary and I think it's one of the best I did. The other presentation about my final project I love. I did very well and it's incredible, the presentation. I did good because was my research project and I did need to study a lot because I knew all about the topic and I did excellent, with grammar mistakes but excellent about the explanation and I think all the people who watch the video can understand the meaning.

To end the year I would remember where are the best and the worse post in all the time. This decision is very difficult because I did a lot of post and all of them I love because I did it.
The worse post is very clever because I hate the Chemistry post for me it's horrible, for the content and for the structure.  I did twice but I hate all. The vocabulary is so easy and the topic and the verbs tenses are simple and with some mistakes. For all of that things this is THE WORSE.
Choose the best post, only one, is very difficult for that I choose three. They are: Experiences (4 Eso), The notebook (4 ESO) and Maybe that or that (2Batx.). I choose them because I use a lot of different times sentence, the vocabulary is good because is very variety, the phrasal verbs are acceptable and the mistakes are not very big. For all of that I think they are the best options because with them, we can see my level of English and I think it's good, I need improve it but now it's okay.

For me this is a good reflection about my years English in the high school.

Trip to London

This year I went to London with my friends and my high school teachers. I did a video and here you can see our incredible trip.



Burman governments

The news is about the violation of human right, exactly the human of freedom of speech.
In Burman the governments did, some months ago, some laws to control the journalist of that country. This laws are very strict. Some journalist were arrested because they publish some bad opinion of the government in the newspapers. These journalists are some of the most influence and important in that country. For this a lot of people demonstrate their opposition about the laws and the government.
And a lot of people commemorate an important day for the human right: World Press Freedom Day.

This news is important because around the world succeed the same and we couldn't allow it. We need to improve the world and one of the most important this is fulfil the human rights.

For me is important this news because one of the important thing is express what we believe about the things because if we don't do it that the world don't change and nothing is going to improve.

Abbreviations, the new vocabulary

Nowadays young people use a lot new technologies and these things are good but others are not really so good, because they begin to write with strange symbols and a lot of people can't understand them. They use abbreviations, abbreviations are one or two letters which represent a word.
Now I'm goingo to write two texts one oly with abbreviation and another with all the words.

            Hi, imho d WKND ws xlnt n I gtc u b4 2 c a/b bq yr tb.
                                      xxx lol xxx.

This is the message with abbreviations and now the wole sentence.

           Hello, in my opinion the wekend was excellant and I go to see you befire seeing anybody else               because you're the best.
         Kiss, kiss, kiss   lots of love   kiss, kiss, kiss.

This is only and example but I think you can write a very long message only with abbreviations, for example young people write this way not only the sms or whatssaps, also they write their notes, and I think this is very difficult, because you need to know a lot about abbreviations to do taht. Because I think if I do taht with my notes I can't understand anything. 

The bag

What I found on the street that day changed my life for ever. 
I was going to a party when I found a really strange bag next to my car. I didn't  know what things were insidu, for that reason I decided to open it when I looked inside I found a lot, a lot, a lot of money.
At the first moment I didn't know what I was going to do but then I went to the police station and I left the bag with all the money.
After some days a very beautiful young man appeared in front of my door. I didn't know who the boy was. He introduced himself and he explained to me what had happened with his bag. The boy was really polite and he invited me to dinner.
We met another and another time and finally he explained to me he was a very rich man and he was looking for the perfect woman and when I arrived with the money bag he found the woman: me. He proposed to get married to me I accepted and now we are a really beautiful and rich couple.
All my life changed only for a simple bag.

Football, the only sport?

Football is a sport that consist of kicking a ball, men before a ball.

Is this simple thing so important?

In my opinion it is not so important because nowadays we can see and practice more sport. It's true football is not only running because the team need a coach and practice a lo, but I think sports are very varied but we need to know more about them.
For example here in Alt Emportdà a lot of people are supporters of rythmic gymnastic, and I think is as important as foorball or other sports.
We should change the mind of some people becuase all sports need some recognition.

My life... is only a work art

Some years ago when I saw a work of art I only saw a picture but now when I see a work of art I feel a lot of things, very beautiful things. 
I have seen some exhibitions but the most incredible museum I went was the National Gallery. In that museum you can see some different styles. Some works of art like Turner's ship or sun flower of Van Gogh are really spectacular when you see them. They remind you a photo, a digital photo.
On the other hand I'm never going to be an artist but I love art for that reason I'm going to do a history art degree.
Another important thing about art is that it can help us to learn more about our culture we need knowledge because if we have knowledge we can improve the world.
For that reason I think we need to introduce more art in out life.

He need MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

John didn’t know where he would get the Mmoney he needed. He had an interesting reason for it.

The story began when he visited a poor village located at IN south Catalonia. In this village there were many children who couldn’t go at the to school. His idea was to collect money in order to build a school.

When John returned at home, he has started to meet with different organizations and he achieved some resources for it, but unfortunately not the enough, he needed more!!.

One day while he was walking he had a good idea: his siser's husband was a rich man and perhaps he and her HIS sister would like interested with in this question.
John had organized a meeting and he explained then his project to them and how they could collaborate. A few days later John received a call from his brother-in-law. He said he was excited about the opportunity to help children as long as the new school bring  his name. As building the new school was the most important, John accepted the condition.

My strange story

It was 5 in the morning and there was a knock at the door and my dog began to bark.

I got up and I went to the door to see what happened.I live with my wife Maria and also we have a dog, Sultan.We live in a big old house with garden in the countryside, at 10 Km. from the airport.

I saw a young couple, a man and a girl, who looked very nervous. She told me that their car had broken down and they needed to go to the airport and fly to Paris urgently because her mother was very ill.

They also asked me if I could take them to the airport because the plane took off at 6 am. and they don`t  have time to call a taxi.

I took my car and took  them to the airport,they were just carrying a big suitcase.

I left them in front of the departures  door and went home. On the way home, I heard on the radio that a young couple had robbed a bank and hurt a policeman.When I arrived home I phoned to the police and told them what had happened to me.

Dear Mr. Rajoy,
My names is Marta Moreno I amb a Spanish girl and nowadays you are our president but in many areas you do not represent us. Fot that reason I want to explain you the problems of our society.

First of all, I would like to remind you all the people in Spain have human rights and you and the governments must achieve them. But in the streets the people do not feel you achieve them, and I want to show you happens. 
Currently, the police take off a lot of people's housesand then some of these people live on the streets. They have nothing to live with and you do nothing to stop or to improve their situation.
Another problem is educations, because you change the meaning of education, now for you education is a problem. You cut back all the assistance related to education and a lot of things and the people are suffering it now and they also will in the future.

These are my proposals to improve the situation.
First you need to support the Spanish people, and the most important thing is you need to know the problems of the society.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely.

Marta Moreno

Chemistry: the secret science of attraction

A lot of people don't know what is the reason of love feeling for other people.
To know why, an expert does a test: two strange people, meet in a room and they must talk with the other looking at his/her eyes, after that they must be in silence during 4 minutes.
Finally these two people get married.
This result of the test explains that experts get right. They said that people were more attracted with the body language and eye contact than other things.
This result of the text gives some advice: We need to take off our sunglasses quicly because the people decide qhat's the opinion of the others in only two minutes.
Other experts do study about what is the relation about adrenalin and oher substances with love.
This is the summery of the text but I want to explain my feeling when I read the text.
At the first time I though the text was going to be very borring but it's very interesting and I enjoyed it a lot.

Dear Mary,
I'm really happy because I went to London and I had the possibility to do to your house and this is really important for me.
Your house is very beautiful, the sofaa is really confortable and the bed is really sweet I could rest very erll, after visiting a lot of things. I visited some typical places like Big Ben, the Globe or Saint Paul Cathedral but the most beautiful things I visited was a typical English market; in that place I could see very different things but all of them are beautiful. 
I remember the trip witha very bug smile but I had a problem with your neighbour because they had a dog and I have allergy to dogs and the animal. when I stayed at home, came with me. 
To finish with the problem i talked with them and we decided to leave the dog out of the building.
That is the only problem, the other things were really good. For that I would like to say, again, thanks.
With love Marta.

Maryam!!

Maryam is in her rwenties, she is one of my classmates. I met her last year when I began first "batxillerat". She is older than me. We look alike because both of us have really sweet brown eyes and we are dark-haired but she is a bit taller than me. 

She has very specual features, her lips are very beautiful, their colour is obsolutly rosy, you can never stop looking at them. Her eyebrows are rather dense but their shape is great.
She is medium built but she has a lot of complex about her body and for that she is always wearing loose clothes because she doesn't wan to have the attention of the others.

Nowadays she is studying in the high school and after school she will go to the university of Girona and do a teaching degree and I am sure she is going to be a very good teacher. Her only problem is that she never believes in herself, she need do it more.

Human Rights

1. What are human rights?
 
 Human Rights are the rights you have becuase you are a human.
 
2. When and why were they created?

The human rights, officially, were creayted in 1948, but in all the history some nation made some laws to achieve the rights of the people.
 
3. How many human rights are there?

30 human rights
 
4. Which human right were you not familiar with?
 
The most shocked human right is the right to play, because I don't wait that.  I know the others human right but this no. But I think is really important this right because to lead the problem we need play and it's important protect and secure the possibility to play in every place and in every moment.
 
5.Choose the most important human rights for you and explain why you chosen.
 
Now I begin to choose the best human right for me but it's really difficult choose only one for that I going to choose 3 or 4 human rights. 
Finally I choose 4 human rights for my the most important, these are my human rights:

"The right to life"
The first human right is important because if you don't have life you don't need human rights and for that the first thing we need to protect is the own life. All the people should live and we need to do it possible.



The second human right I choose is number 18: "Freedom of thought"
I choose that becuase all the people are not the same and all of us propbably have different opinions and nobody can shut us. We can said any thing but the most important thing we can thought and believe in where ever we know, anyone can't dictate our thought and we need to fight with them.


Finally I choose for my the most important right. The right of "Marriage and family". For me it's the most relevant because the act to marriage with someone is really beautifull and with this you made your future. The other important thing is the family you have one, maybe it's not the best but it's your and you need to protect becuase without them you can't do a lot things. They are your pillars, your friends, your advisers but the most important are your lovers, they love you and you love them for that this right is necessary and all of us we need to achieve.

Also I choose this right because I want this future, I want to creat a family and marriage with someone for that for me it's the most important.
 
For final all the post  I going to show the really message of human rights, see the video and please do it!

Our comments

Either positive or negative comments are good because it shows I am still relevant.


Since last year we need to do some comments in differents blogs about our classmate. Now we are going to finish the high school and I will talk about this thing, the comments. 

Comments are your oppion about something, in our case it's about posts, the post of your classmate.
I think, as saying Justin Guarini, the comments probably can be a good thing becuase with that we can improve some things (the use of english, the appearence of the bog...), and the comments of our parents are good because we see they reed our post and we are important.  

However for me the comments can be bad. I think are bad so that sometimes when you reed a post of our partners you feel very sad because you think and realize your post are hideous. I know you can improve it but it's very sad if you can not improve it because you don't have the level to do it. That feeling appeare and you can't change it. 

To sum up and it's only my opinion for me the comments depends of the blog but in general are bad, with that you only feel bad.

Mr.Nuttel's story

This is a short summary of a short story I know it's not a news but I read and do it. I hope you enjoy the story if you would read all the story click here!




While Mr. Nuttel was staying in the country side to treat his illness, he went to visit the Sappleton's family. It was good until Vera began to explain a story about her aunt's tragedy.
She told him that one day her aunt's husband went shooting with his younge brothers and they never returned. They sank in a terrible bog and nobody found their bodies.
Her aunt believed that they would come back some day and fot that she was waiting for them with the windows open.
Suddenly aunt came in and they talked about Mr. Nuttel's illnesses. After a while he looked at the garden and saw three men shadows. Immediately he ran out without any goodbye. 
In the end the men arrived home and one of them, Mr.Sappelton asked his wife who the man who ran out was.
Mrs. Sappleton answered him the man was Mr. Nuttel and he only came to speak about his illnesses. And she didn't know what he had run out. 
Surprisingly Vera told them he ran out because he had had a bad experience with dogs and probably when he saw the dog that came with them he remembered all and he decided to go out.

Greenpeace with Indonesian

This news try to make people aware of the bad situation about the forest in Indonesian. In one year a lot of trees disappear because the people use their sap to do palm oil and for that the atmospheare of the forest is in danger. With the video/news Greenpace try to spread the problem and find a solution because it's a very big misteak not only for Indonesian otherwise for all the world.


MY OPINION

I choose this news because I think it's important the message. Sometimes, probably I'm not agree with the methods of Greenpeace but in this case I like a lot suggestion. Now we only need a solution and do it, because if we don't do anything in the future we pay it.
Another think Greenpeace need is spread the video and the ideas because if nobody know this problem don't change. For that reason please share the video with your friends and family.
Thanks.

1D concert




Probably a lot of people think live concerts are more incredible and sensitive than video concerts, but now I'm going to show my experience when I watched a very nice video concert.
At first I thought it was only a video and I didn't feel anything special but when I was waiting for the concert to start I was very nervous. 
It's a concert of One direction. 
I watched the backstage and I laughed a lot because I could see the singers are only people, like you and me.
They feel nervous, tell jokes or only play, atound the same than us.
Then when the concert strated I felt very happy and I loved the atmosphere. When I watched the feeling of the fans I could only think: "I will go!"
Now in my hands I hace a ticket and I'm going to watch their live concert in June.

My best coincidence

Nowadays I'm in a relationship with a very incredible boy, Pablo. About this relationship I'm going to explain some coincidences which happened to us. We began to be friends when we entered the high school but we had met some years before. During four years we were only friends, and not special friends, it's true that he was always one of the most important friends in my life but I couldn't imagine some years after he could become my boyfriend. Another and for, us the most important coincidence, is when we want to the same primary school but we had never met(and in primary school there were only three classes). For me he didn't exist and years after one day when I went to his house and I watched a project about "arts and photos" I recognised the school and the project and we were really surprised because probably we could meet before but the destiny joined us in the high school. For us, these coincidences are very special because we see them as a sign of out we need to stay together.

Mr. Darcy about Jane Austen

It's not a news but it's good for a listening it's quite short but I can listen the real English and I think it's easy to understand. The video is a intervew with an author. She is a woman who realy love Jane Austen and her story and she do many books about her characters specially about Mr. Darcy. In the interview also appear others authors, they do some others story about the future of Mr. Darcy and Lizzy Bennet, or the family of Mr. Darcy. Specially this kind of books are interesting in Darcy's life. 

The woman who talks in the video explain she began all when she watched the film of Colin Firth adaptation.
And then appear more fans of Jane Austen and specially of Mr.Darcy.


I chose this news because I really love the Jane Austen story and specially Mr. Darcy and I discover many kind of books I can read. I interesting in the topic and also it's good because I can see Pride and Prejudice set a record in the history and I think we need learnt more about it, because probably a lot of people only think this book it's only a book and we can see with the interview it's more than that it's a passion, a love and more things but never only a book. 


Words: I have not to search any words because the vocabulary is easy to understan. 

House of Cards a president's series

This news is about one of most rellevant series in America House of Cards. The second season of hat series begin the last week and many people are in front of TV, one of them was the Obama's president who the day before put in his twitter count this message:

All people in America surprised a lot because nobody thought the president was able to watch this TVseries because that explain the black area in the White House. Even the presiten watch therefore this series is spectacular.
Also the news explain some this with spoilers about the series but the most important and rellevant is the twit of the president.


I chose this news because when I listened, I thought it's incredible the many things we can watch in the ficction maybe can be truth and also it's incredible the president od USA watch this kind of series and I suprised a lot when I listened about his twit because I thought the news was false because I don't understan why a president need to write this kind of twit but then I thought it's only a happy thing. 

Also I watched some episodes about the series and it's quite good, I don't like this type of serie but it's good because everybody can watch the real life of politic.

The most difficult decision

Nowadays a lot of my classmate and I need to take one of the most difficult decisions in out life. We need to decide which tyoe of degree we will do. It is one of the most important decision because it marks, probably, all or a very important part of our life because we are going to decide what thing we want to do in the future.
With this decision all of us are thinking in our perfect job. Probably a lot of people think it is an easier decision but is not because we have a lot of options ans noboby knows what is the best. For that all the poeple say: You need to choose your preference not the most viable because if you do not choose your preference you do a bad job.
I think they are right and all of us need to follow this advice. 

La vella Firenze

My last birthday, (3 of February), my parents gave me some diferent presents but for me the most important was the trip to Firenze. I have always wanted to go to Firenze and my parents made this reality. 
Now I will talk about the beautiful city.
Firenze is one of the most interesting cities because it has a very long history and some of the most beautiful artwotk, that's why I want to visit this city.
Probably I will visit for example the Church of Santa Maria di las flores or the Uffizi Gallery. These things are very interesting and I will encourage everyone to visit them it is a good opportunity.

Yes, I use a prezi it's a good idea if you will a dynamic presentation. I use photos, video and all of things to improve the presentation, not only text.

Are there just key words to explain your message?
Yes, there are. Only specific words. I write only the title of the section. It's truth this time I need to use more words because I thought if my classmate can read the conclusion they understand better all.

Body language & eye contact (10%): 1 point
Are you looking at your audience most of the time?
Yes almost always. I thought that time is the best because I have a lot of confidence and probably that influce about my body language becuase I was calm and relax.

Yes, obviously, because I introduce my own project. I explain a lot of that and some of them didn't know anything about the topic but finally they understood, I think, all.

Social media in class

As Eric Schmidt say "the Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.” This quote is a good summary of the relationship between humans and Internet.

Nowadays all the world uses social media, specially Internet, to do many hings from searching information, read books to chating friends or listening to music. That's why social media is a good option because you can do the difficul things more easier with Internet or you can improve more aspects about your life for example if you search for many information about beauty you can apply it to yourself.

Although in life all these things are important, it's true that the use of social media is bad for you health and for you intelligence because the radiation of wifi or devices can cause harm to you.
Apart from that it is dangerous because you can becaome an under privileged person if you don't use Internet or if you don't do the same things the other people do.

In conclusion, I would say that if people do a good use of Internet it's a good option but think social media has to be contolled because if nobody does social media may become a big problem.

Social media

Nowadays all the world use social media and I'm not an exception, I use to do many things. From search many information on the Internet about the high-school to read books, chat with my friends or listen to music. In my life all these things are important but it's true that the use of social media is bad for your health and for your intelligence but I can't exclude it. But for me the social media sometimes is a conflict because nowadays if you don't have a mobile phone or don't have facebook you are an underprivileged person and it's a very bad thing because nobody haven't feel this.
Probably I'm a bad person because I have a cell phone, facebook and twitter but I try not to classify the people for that. For me the people are equal because I think all the problem is the globalization and if the people classify the other for that they are stupid people because they are a product of this globalization and the other have own personality and don't need all this superfluous things.

Nowadays all the boys and girls know how to use a computer, cell phone and other devices, if we think now they know a lot about this topic what exactly we can hope in the future. They grow up and probably the social media become all their life and they use for all thing. And the problem becomes bigger, and when the people want to stop it they can't do it.

Abstract: A princes charming, a vampire and me.



Human relationships are very important and common in our society. They appear everywhere: movies, books and in real life. This is the issue of my research: love relationships and stereotypes in teenage books. First, I present the teenage literature and its types and stereotypes and the special characteristics of stereotypes. In order to do that I have read 11 novels science fiction, chick-lit and realist. Then I analyzed the relationship which appears on these stories. I also interviewed and made a questionnaire to have more information and the thoughts of the people.
