LOOKING BACK

1. Can you see an improvement on your level of English in the past year/s? Where, for example?

I can see an improvement on my level since 4th ESO because I write more fluid and I can to read more in less time. If you see my first posts you will see that I didn't write too much and now I can write more of a hundred words and I have attitude for do the blog.

2. Which activity best shows your level of English?

In my opinion, I think that the your says are the best activity for learn English because you write of thinks that you like and it's so better and easy for me than the other. Because if you do anything that you like you do that with attitude.

3. Which activities were really USEFUL for you to improve your English? Why?

I think that your says are the activities really useful because you have to write all of you think and you have to do sentences for write correctly. Or other activity that I think it's good to learn is the description of a picture because you have to say all of you see in that picture. For describe a picture you have to know many of vocabulary and as you use that vocabulary you learn it.

4. Which activities did you NOT find useful to learn English? Why not?

In my opinion, I think that the news are the worse activities because you have to read and summarize the text and you can see how to write and I don't know I think that it isn't so useful to learn English.

5. Which activities would like to do again next year to keep on improving your English?

I would like to do your says again because when I write a your say I write my thinks and there are personal thinks. Because I can to vent my feelings and then I feel so better, I don't know, it's to nice to me do your says.

WE HAVE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. DO YOU AGREE?

In our world we have lots of problems and we don't see that because we don't to see. While the years go by pass we accomulate all of pasat problems with new problems. That's why I don't agree with we have made the world a better place.

First, we have a diferent social classes, the first worls that the people live in a good condition and the people who live in the first world not want to see the people who live in the third world where they die everyday because they don't have anything to eat or to drink.

Second, we have made more pollution every day and we don't stop this. This pollution is destroying our planet and If we don't stop that we will have to live to another planet or all people of the world die.

Third, we can see that humans are so egoists because we don't only destroy our ecosystem, we destroy the ecosystem of all animals of the world. We kill lots of animals every day and lots of animals are extinct.

In conclusion, I think that we not want to do anythink but when the problem is going to be bigger we don't find a solution and we don't know what can we do to solve this problem.

HOMOPHOBIA

link

This news talk about a Moroccan iman from Terrassa who explains how damage woman and abused them psychologically to avoid a bad behaviour of they. Moreover he explains how to damage them to not leave signs of abuse. For defend himself he explains that the Quran says that is not bad damage women.

Obviously the situation in Morocco is so different from Catalunya but if they live here they should respect the law of the country where they are living, also they should respect the human rights of anywhere in the world and these rights are not admised the mistreatment of any human.

As an individual person I can’t do anything to combat it, so in a group I could help this women to find help.

BILINGUAL BRAINS FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENT WITH CERTAIN TASKS NEUROLOGY STUDY FINDS.

link

This notice talks about the advantages in memory and intelligence when you are bilingual. The notice says that it’s easier to find a job when you are bilingualism.

A bilingual brain is quicker and efficient for concentration. Be bilingual has very positive effects on the brains apart from any linguistic advantages. It’s recommendable to introduce another language to children at the earliest possible stage. They discovered that the mental control is best in bilingual people than monolingual people. They did a study with bilingual and monolingual people and the results proved this idea.

In my opinion it’s better to be bilingual apart from the above advantages, you can travel a lot, in other countries with different languages, and it will be very easy to communicate. You can get to know very interesting and different people. I’m proud to be bilingual and I hope to be trilingual in time. Catalan, Spanish and a little in English.

THE PLANET WITH FOUR SUNS

link
Astronomers have discovered a solar system with a single planet and four suns (stars).
They are visible during the day. The fact that they have four suns ago that there can be life on this planet because the temperature is extremely high and it is practically impossible that there can be life there.

Regarding the last sentence I think if you may have life, although not understand this, I think there may be organisms to withstand these high temperatures. Organizations  of other materials that support these temperatures.
Surely if I now hear some expert would laugh at me.
I hope you will continue to investigate all these things new planteas and galaxies because if we discovered new organisms could make progress much.

REVIEW

QUÀNTIC LOVE

Author: Sònia Fernández Vidal.

It was publish on 2012

This book is about a girl, who tells Laila Fortuny and that girl works on the CERN that is an accelerate of particle. She works of waiter in a coffee and one day while she was serve she meets a really beautiful periodist. He was tall, he was blonde, he had a beautiful blue eyes and he was so likeable, his name was Alessio. Laila really likes this periodist and she felt a love at first sight but she only serve he. Other day in the coffee appears a doctorate student, he was Brian, he was tall also, but he was brown with green eyes. He was beautiful too and Laila didn't know what she liked more.

While past the days the two boys wants to meet Laila and she at the first time only meets them like friends. But one day the two boys kiss she and she didn't know how what she do. She for the time follow to stay with two boys. The two boys had all because Laila fall in love with he and can to start a relationship but Laila didn't know how what she do against.

One day Laila, the two boys and her friends went to camping in a lake and there all explode. Because as Brian as Alessio wants to stay with Laila alone and they start to fought. When the other friends can to separate, Brian went to a lake to swim when a water current take Brian. They called for an ambulance and when Brian got to leave of water he get on the ambulance and went to the hospital.

When we wants to read more the book finish. You don't know what happen after, this book have an open end.

OPINION

In my opinion I really like this book for people who had between 12 to 15 years old because it's a romantic story. I think that when a person had about 16-17 years have to read books more interesting like I don't know Eragon or La teoría del todo, etc. When I read that book I really love that but now if I read I probably dislike. Because when I bought it I thought that this book was about physics and love but it's 90% stories of love. 

ORAL PRESENTATION

This term I did a presentation with Adirà that he is one of my best friends and we did about gender violence because we thought that it's interesting for explain and for open the eyes to the people that not only be gender violence to man by woman. There are lots of cases to woman by man but well in the presentation I explain it. When we was doing the presentation we didn't have almost no problems the only problem that we had was that we thought different things and we argue our diferences untill we arribe an agreement. I'm really happy for did this presentation because I didn't know how women mistreament by man and I can saw that this is a feminist society. I hope that the people know this cases quickly and that together we can to do anything for change all these situations.

First, I think that we had a good presentation and there was good structure. But I think that we can to improve our prezi because we put on it a few of images. The mark for me in our presentation is an 8%.

Second, I think that I have to improve the body lenguage and the eye contact because when I present I feel so nervous and I can't to explain it like I practice. But I think that I merit an 8%.

Third, I think that we had a good structure and I put on our mark an 8%. The content was so good because we explain the two type of mistermeant and we put an example and for this reason I think that we can have an 25%.

I think that our lenguage was so good because we send the content to the teacher for correct them and I think that the lenguage we can have an 15%.

I think that my pronuntation isn't ok because I had an catalan accent and it's so dificult forme but I think that with a practice I can to improve. 8%.

And the final mark I think that I merit is a 72%.

MY NEW GOWN

This Saturday, on 30th of May I went to a wedding with my boyfriend and his family. I was one month searching the perfect gown but I didn't find anything and for this reason I felt so stressed because this week I began the final exams and I didn't have time to bought my gown and well you know, I wanted to go perfect. On Sunday I went to "la Jonquera" to buy my gown but against I didn't find anything. And as a last resort I went in Empuriabrava in a small shop and there I found my gown. I only just had to try four dresses. The first gown was yellow and it was nice but I didn't like much. It was It was long knee and shoulder straps but I knew that it wasn't my gown. The second one was blue and I'm in love with that gown because it was so simple but so elegant too and when I tried it I knew that one day this gown will be mine. It was tight chest and under the chest I put a black bow and the rest was width. This summer this gown will be mine. The third one was so elegant  it was white with a black cloth and a white bow, when I tried I like that gown but I think that it was so serious for a wedding and I like to dress with happy colours but I like that dress so much. And the last one, the final gown was like a vintage style because it's blue on the top and on the skirt is white with a print with the colours blue, green and a little bit of purple. In the change of the skirt I wear a blue bow. To give a touch of glamour I put on a green blazer. If you read this you think that the gown is strange because it have a lot of colours but you see in the picture how is the outfit. 

MY SWEET 17 BIRTHDAY

Last Friday, in particular, on 22nd of May I did 17 years old and yes I had an English exam! For starter I want to explain you how was that day for me. So let's go!

On Friday my mother woke up me at 7 am o'clock like any day but she woke up me with a birthday song, after two minutes my sister came in my bed too. Then I went to breakfast and I found a box under my cup and I think -Wow I have a gift!- I opened the box and I saw that it was a go pro. I felt so excited because I didn't expect that and the first I thought was that I'm going to enjoy this summer because I will do windsurf, horse riding, volley beach, I will go to my boat and my kayak with my friends and I hope that with my boyfriend, etc. Well I thought that my day started so good but all changed when I arrived to my High School because all my friends says happy birthday to me but they were so distant with me and I felt so disappointed because it was my birthday and I was alone. When I went at home for lunch my sister didn't came too because she went to her friends for lunch. When I arrived at home I lunch alone and I sang happy birthday for me like a sad movie. After lunch, I had to prepare my train bag and I went to Olot like all Wednesdays and Fridays. There I stayed with my friends two hours before the training. When we finished the training my team brought me a cake and I felt so good again. Then I was impatient for see my boyfriend because I knew that I went to dinner with he.

When I arrived at home I found my boyfriend, Marc, on my bedroom and he tells me that I had to dress elegant. When I finished I get into my car and closed my eyes. My boyfriend take me to dolce vitta and when we enter in the restaurant I saw a big table with all my friends. And it was the best night of this year because I don't hope that. I love so much all of them.

More fowards on the left we can see a couple that they seem that they're in a relationship and more fowards a little bit in they right we can see a red bike. In this beach we can see that there are some rocks and a bit of sand and in front of the sand we can see that there are grass. On the right of the picture we only can see a part of the sea and rocks.

PODCAST

Today I'm going to describe a person who is really important in my life. He is Marc that I can tell you that he's a special friend.
Marc is 16 and he was born on 26th of February 1999. He is tall, he measure about 1.77m, he have a straight short brown hair, he is a little bit of dark skinned, he's slim but also strong. He have a really beautiful blue eyes and a loving lips, his tooth are separated but he have a beautiful smile.
He is a really good student and he really love physics, is a shy person and this damage he mainly on foodball because he don't want to be selfish with the ball and well he thinks that he is a bother in the field. He is really likeable with other people and allways have a smile for everybody. He is too loving to other people and for this reason he is so special for me. I think that together we have a good team and is so nice to work with he. When I work with he I have attitude to do more homework or to study more it's incredible!

I think that in this world there are a bit of people like Marc and this is so sad because I think that all of he is perfect, his personality is incredible and I love it and his physical it's so good. 

MY BEST FRIENDS

Núria, Berta and Julianni are my three best friends I love they so much they are all of me. I met Núria since I was born, she was and is my best friend and we were all time together. Every week we sleep together minimum two times a week and we were like sisters. When we start 1st of ESO she went to Empuriabrava High School and I went to IES Castelló d'Empúries High School and we were two years separated. On 3th of ESO I convince that she went to Castelló and we were together again. Núria is very slim and she have a short blonde hair. In 3th of ESO Núria and me met Berta well, I met Berta on 1st of ESO but she didn't go to my class we weren't friends, but in 3th of ESO we start our friendship. Berta is a really good friend for me because she is listen to me allways when I need and I listen to she allways when her need we understand really good and I think that is a really good luck. Berta is short and I think that she is short is so cute and also is slim like Núria she have a brown short hair. Then on 4th of ESO we met Julianni that she is a really funny person and we laugh a lot with she. She is also slim and she have a long brown hair. All of they are so really beautiful I think that they are so perfect they completes me for these reason they are my best friends.

REVIEW

CAROLINA S'ENAMORA

"Carolina s'enamora" is one of my favourites book it was writing for Federico Moccia that he is my favourite writer. He is Italian and he is the writer about "A 3 metros sobre el cielo" and "Tengo ganas de ti".

This book it talks about a girl who is 14 and her first love that it's a boy who is 19 and they are in love. At the first the boy was saving the distance because he saw she little but after he give to Carolina an opportunity. They are so happy and really in love. Carolina have a best friend that Carolina and she went allways together because they are like sisters. Her friend was extroverted and funny. Carolina's boyfriend rent a ship house and they went together there. It was a beautiful ship and a little bit small but welcoming. But all was too much perfect and one day Carolina was waiting to her boyfriend in front of his house (not the ship) and suddenly his door was open but don't leave her boyfriend, leave of his house her best friend and then Carolina saw like her best friend and her boyfriend kissed in front of her. They don't saw Carolina and don't understand why she don't answer they message.

I love this books because fos example "Carolina s'enamora" have 600 pages and all it's about a beautiful and perfect live and relationship but in the last page change all. And I cry for this book because I don't belive that a book end like this. Federico Moccia is my favourite writer and I love his books I allways read his books because it relax me I can cry and kick off me my sad feelings. Now I was reading "Perdona pero quiero casarme contigo" that is the second part of "Perdona si te llamo amor" but I can't to read too much because the High School it's really absorbent.

SUMMER 2015

This year on Summer I will only work in a "casal" because I will do the Research papel and I need time for work in that papel. I will have more free time that last Summer and I will can do a lot of things that the last Summer I can't do because I worked every day in the morning less Saturday and Sunday and every day in the afternoon less one time a week that I choose that day but I can't try Saturday or Sunday. I will go in my boat more times and in my kayak too. If I stay in my relationship with Marc I will go with he in my boat and I love to doing different sports and for this reason we will doing a lot of things in the beach for example in the Empuriabrava beach there are a attractions inside the water and I love that because it's so funny. Also we will go with bannana because I think that it's the most funny think that I can do with the boat. I know that in the Summer I will doing my research papel but I want that summer come now it's the perfect holidays. I work in a job I know but it's really funny and I don't have to study that I hate that because in High School I have to study a lot of subjects like chemistry that I hate that and I never study anithing about chemistry. Well I want to summer come now!

CARNAVAL

This year in Carnaval of Castelló d'Empúries I disguise of "Stitch" that is a personage of Disney of the series "Lilo y Stitch". I disguise with Berta and Núria because first we have to disguise referee but we thought that it wasn't original and we want to disguise original and we want to go sheltered because this year it was so cold for the wind. First we went to dinner at Núria's house and then we went to a party. In the party we found our friends Conor, Martí, Oriol, Jere, Pau, Míriam, Andrea, Rosó... and we went all together to enjoy the party. When the carriages went we went inside the party and there we dance and drink. One of the most funny things it was that the music isn't house or pop or rock, it was Catalan music and for the people who's minimum 20 years old but my friends and me
knows the songs and we sing and dance and drink... I think that Carnaval it's the most party of the year but being better if Carnaval celebrate on Summer. And I think that in Carnaval you can to take the embarrassment because you can to do the ridiculous and anyone says you any because it's Carnaval.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015

In 31st of December I went to Sant Pere Pescador to celebrated the New Year. I went with my friends Núria, Berta, Pau, Conor, Martí, Jere, Adrià and more people and I really liked this night because all of my friends wear really good. Berta was dressing a grey cotton dress, Núria was dressing a grey shiny shirt with a black tight skirt, the majority of my boy friends dressed more or less the same. A pair of black denim jeans and a shirt. I love this night because at the end of the year my friends and me can to stay all together. Because we try to arrange to meet since the summer but allways one or another can’t to arrange. Well this is one of the best night of 2014 and the first night of 2015. In the picture you can see one of my best friends Berta. I love she.

CLUB VOLLEYBALL OLOT

This year I play volleyball in Olot. I know that it’s a little bit far well, I have one hour for go and one more for return and I train at 7pm o’clock but I leave of my home at 4:30 pm because my coach not only train my team also train 3 teams more. I lost a lot of time and for this reason I have to organize much better my homework and my study it’s so difficult but I really try to organize my time good. I play in Olot because last year I was playing 3 category worse and my coach one day came to Castelló to saw a volleyball match and pay attention to me and tell me if I be like by play in 1^st division Catalana and I say yes of course because it’s a really important opportunity for me and I don’t know that I have again an opportunity like that. Now I love this team the people in Olot are very likeable and really fun. I love this team and this city. 

I CAN'T...

I feel sad for study because this year I know that Batxillerat is more difficult to ESO of course but I have psychological problems I don’t know what is it but I can to study for two weeks before the exam and know the lesson perfect but when any teacher put the exam in front of me my mine stay in white like if I don’t study anything and for me this is really frustrating because I see that all of I do don’t be used for anything because my mother and my father scold me for the marks and I know that I can to do more and more but I need to resolve this problem for the exams. I really need this because every day I feel more and more unmotivated and my self-esteem fall for a moments. I really need help for resolve my problem I hope that I can resolve that like more would rather better.
